"What are you all shouting about?"
At this moment, an elderly man walked out of the inn. When he saw Jiang Yu, he asked curiously,""Little Yu, why are you here?"
"Master?"
"What? Master?"
"What? It's me? Ah Niu, didn't you say that you were a horse thief?”
"How would I know so much? I don't even know this little master.”
When the security team heard how Jiang Yu addressed Ninth Uncle, they were all dumbfounded. It turned out that he was one of them. This was awkward.
When Jiang Yu saw this person who looked very familiar with his master and called him Xiao Yu, he immediately knew that this Ninth Uncle was the Ninth Uncle he was familiar with, which was also his master. Therefore, he replied.
"Disciple heard that there were mounted gangsters coming here to do evil, so I wanted to take a look and see if I could help.”
Uncle Nine nodded repeatedly. Seeing that it was a misunderstanding, he said to the security team,"I see. Then it's a misunderstanding. Put down your knives. Ah Ming, you two let him go.”
When everyone heard Ninth Uncle's words, they immediately let down their guard. The two people who had originally grabbed Mao Shanming also let go of him. The moment they let go, Mao Shanming immediately panted heavily.
"Shishi…Brother, can you let go…Have you?"
Ah Qiang, whose neck was grabbed by Jiang Yu, asked intermittently.
When Jiang Yu saw that Ah Qiang's face was red from his pinching, he immediately felt embarrassed and let go of his hand. He said,"I'm sorry."
"Oh right, Xiao Yu is your friend?”Ninth Uncle looked at Mao Shanming and asked Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu smiled and shook his head." No, he's not my friend. I just met him when the Tan family was performing the ritual. He only knows some Taoist skills and raises ghosts to cheat people of their money.”
"What happened?" Ninth Uncle asked in surprise.
"It's like this, Master."
Jiang Yu then told Ninth Uncle about what happened at Tan Baiwan's house yesterday. He told him about how Maoshan Mingruo was tricked by the real ghost after raising a ghost to deceive people. In the end, he stepped in to stop it and settled the matter.
Ninth Uncle nodded and did not say anything else. Although Mao Shanming was not a heretic, he was still a swindler.
"Xiao Yu, you didn't take Master Tan's money, did you?" Ninth Uncle asked after a pause.”
There were too many temptations in this world. Beauty, money, and power could all make people lose their nature. This time, Ninth Uncle asked Jiang Yu to go out alone to deal with it to test how he would deal with money.
"How is that possible? I didn't take a single cent from Tan Baiwan.”Jiang Yu shook his head.
Then, he continued to explain," The Tan family's new house was built on someone's ancestral grave. Although that family is full of ghosts, they are not evil spirits. They have never harmed anyone. Therefore, I let these ghosts return to the netherworld and then let Tan Baiwan move their graves. This way, the business naturally won't be successful, and I won't be able to collect money.”
"Yes, that's right. As cultivators, it's our duty to kill demons and protect the righteous path. However, we shouldn't eliminate all ghosts. Sometimes, they can't help themselves. We should help them if we can. You handled this matter well.”
Ninth Uncle nodded in satisfaction and said,""I just happen to have enough manpower here. Since you're already here, stay behind and help me.”
He had come here this time to eliminate the Horse Gang. Jiang Yu was thinking of an excuse to stay. Since his master had spoken, he naturally nodded and agreed.
As for Mao Shanming, Ninth Uncle did not make things difficult for him. He only persuaded him to leave. However, unexpectedly, Mao Shanming, the coward, stayed behind to help. This broke Jiang Yu's impression of him. From the moment they met, Mao Shanming's first impression was that he was greedy and timid.
However, he did not expect that he would stay behind to help deal with the Horse Gang at this moment. This greatly improved Jiang Yu's positive impression of Mao Shanming.
As for the fact that Ah Qiang was Ninth Uncle's disciple, Jiang Yu was a little curious. However, seeing that there were many people, it was not appropriate to ask in person. He immediately put away his curiosity. Anyway, he had a lot of time in the future, so he was not in a hurry.
.....................
At this moment, a group of mounted gangsters was gathered about two miles away from Silent Village.
"Have you found out? Is that Lin Jiu in the village?" A woman asked beside a bonfire.
He spoke in a local dialect and was not a local. His clothes were similar to those of the Miao people.
This group of bandits was led by a female bandit named Granny Wang. There were about fifteen of them, and they were all members of the Five Immortals Gang. The gang leader was this Granny Wang.
The Five Immortals Gang was actually a gang of bandits. They had committed all kinds of crimes, such as burning, killing, looting, raping women and children, and plundering people's wealth. They had done all kinds of unscrupulous and evil illegal activities.
The Five Immortals were the Five Poisons. The people in the gang could use some spells, mostly voodoo spells, Maoshan spells, divination spells, and so on. Especially Grandma Wang, who had all three spells, was the most powerful among all the Horse Gang.
This time, a member of their gang had been killed in Ren Town, and they had not come out for a long time. Therefore, Grandma Wang brought her brothers out to do some activities, planning to rob Ren Town along the way. Coincidentally, Tan Town was just above Ren Town, so they had to pass through Tan Town to get to Ren Town.
The Silent Village was at the entrance of Tan Town, so they planned to loot the village first. However, they didn't expect to hear that the squires of the Silent Village had invited a Taoist priest to deal with them, and this Taoist priest was Lin Jiu, who had killed their brother.
This was great. There was no need to look for him. The enemy had delivered himself to his doorstep.
On Granny Wong's left, someone answered,"I've asked around!" Lin Jiu is inside."
"Are there any other Daoists?"
Before Granny Wang could say anything, the other Horse Gangs asked. The thing that they were afraid of the most was meeting orthodox Taoists, especially those from famous sects. Their Taoist skills and magic tools were natural restraints for people like them who practiced evil skills. Most of the time, they were at a disadvantage when fighting with them.
"No matter what, we must avenge the Mountain Corpse," said Grandma Wang expressionlessly.”
