Ninth Uncle heard someone calling him and walked out from the side room. When he saw that it was Li Daniu from the neighboring village, he immediately asked,""What's wrong, Daniu? What happened?”
"Hu hu…Ninth Uncle, our village... Something happened." Wang Daniu panted as he spoke.
"Speak slowly, let's take a breath first!"
"Something strange happened in my village. Three people fainted for no reason. It's unknown if they're dead or alive. They looked terrifying, and there were no wounds on their bodies.”
"What?!" When Ninth Uncle heard this, he immediately felt that this was not a small matter. He hurriedly called Jiang Yu over." Xiao Yu, bring your weapons. Qiu Shengwen is the only one who can take care of the house."”
"Yes, Master!" After Jiang Yu heard that, he quickly went back to his room to get the things he needed and left the mortuary with Ninth Uncle.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai looked at each other. Ever since Jiang Yu entered, the two of them had become redundant. Other than cleaning, they were only left to guard the mortuary.
..............................
After a few hours of traveling, when the sun was about to set, Ninth Uncle and the other two arrived at the Wang Family Village. At the entrance of the Wang Family Village, a group of men and women, old and young, were anxiously waiting for someone.
When Ninth Uncle and Jiang Yu appeared in their line of sight, a man in his thirties said to the old man beside him.
"They're here, they're here. Village, look. It's Master Lin. Ah Niu has brought Master Lin here.”
Hearing this, the people beside him also perked up. One by one, they stretched their necks and looked at the village entrance. Everyone's spirits were lifted. A sharp-eyed young man shouted,"That's right, it's Master Lin."
When the villagers saw Ninth Uncle and the others, Jiang Yu and the others also saw the villagers. They immediately asked Ninth Uncle curiously,"So many people? Master, it seems like they're in big trouble!”
What Jiang Yu said was not without reason. Logically speaking, if a Taoist priest was invited to deal with dirty things, he only needed to pay the reward afterwards. You pay, I do things. It was only right and proper. No one owed anyone anything.
However, there was one possibility, and that was that they had encountered a big problem. Otherwise, they would not have received them with such grand etiquette. As the saying goes, when one is courteous to others, one must have something to ask for. Now, half of the villagers were at the entrance of the village to welcome them. It was obvious that they were waiting for them. Moreover, they had been waiting here for a long time. This situation was self-evident in an instant, indicating that they had also encountered an Evil that had caused them to panic.
However, Jiang Yu was curious as to whether it was a demon, a ghost, or a zombie.
"Yes! No matter what, it's the responsibility of us Mao Mountain disciples to exterminate the evil and protect the Dao.”Ninth Uncle said with a serious expression.
"Yes, Master!"
As they spoke, the three of them soon arrived at the village entrance.
"Aiyo, Master Lin, you're finally here.”
"Master Lin."
"Master Lin."
The Village Chief of the Wang Family Village, supported by a young villager, welcomed them warmly. Behind him was a large group of villagers who called him Master Lin. As for Jiang Yu, who was beside Ninth Uncle, he was mercilessly ignored by them.
Whether it was in the current Republic of China or later generations, there was not much difference between newcomers being looked down upon. Jiang Yu had seen many things in his two lives and was used to it.
"There were many delays along the way.”
Ninth Uncle cupped his fists and greeted the villagers politely. Ren Family Town and Wang Family Village were about ten miles away. Even if he and Jiang Yu were fast cultivators, it would still take a few hours. Therefore, when they arrived at Wang Family Village, it was already sunset.
"Don't say that. It's rare that Master Lin would come to help us despite the long journey. It's our Wang Family Village that should be thanking Master Lin.”The village chief had a favor to ask, so he naturally smiled warmly. As for the dissatisfaction he had in his heart, he had long forgotten.
"Master Lin, please!" The village chief made an inviting gesture to Ninth Uncle.
"Village chief, please!"
After a few polite words, Ninth Uncle brought Jiang Yu and the Village Chief into the Wang Family Village. They followed a small river and came to a tile-roofed house with more trees two or three miles away.
During this process, Jiang Yu heard the Village Chief's story from behind Ninth Uncle and roughly understood what had happened. It turned out that a few days ago, the two Wang brothers in the village had disappeared one after another.
When he was found, he was already foaming at the mouth and his face was blue. He was still unconscious. He was brought back to the village by his fellow villagers. Before he could find a doctor, another person went missing. When he was found, he was also unconscious. After looking for a doctor, he was helpless. He said that he might have encountered something dirty.
That was why the Wang Family Village had come to Ren Family Town to find Ninth Uncle, hoping that he could resolve this matter.
Soon, Jiang Yu and his group arrived at an ordinary farmhouse at the end of the village. The wall was a mud wall that was more than one meter high.
Pushing the door open and entering the courtyard, Wang Xiuzhen, who was about 40 years old and dressed as a middle-aged woman, was feeding the chickens. She obviously knew that the villagers had called Ninth Uncle to deal with their family matters, so when she saw so many people coming to her house, she immediately opened the door and hurriedly led them into the house.
"Ninth Uncle, you're finally here. You have to save my Dazhuang! If anything happens to my husband, I should live like this!”
When everyone entered the house, Wang Xiuzhen sobbed to Ninth Uncle. Her husband had an accident, and she felt very bad. The man lying in bed was the only labor force in the house. If he didn't come, she and her son wouldn't know how to live in the future.
