……
After Zhang Dadan finished his story, Ninth Uncle closed the mortuary in Tan Town with a sigh and returned to Ren Town with his disciples.
This time, he had lost a lot of money. The mortuary had been eating green vegetables and tofu for several days.
In the blink of an eye, it was early autumn. The banana trees were ripe and full of fruits. The texture was soft and sticky, sweet and sour.
Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, Chu Yuan, and the other two brothers went out to harvest bananas. They harvested three big baskets and returned with a full load in the evening.
As the setting sun set, the sound of the shepherd boy's flute rang out.
The idyllic scenery was charming and pleasant.
"Master, we're back from picking bananas! I picked a lot. I can have a full meal today.”
"Master, we saw a lot of sweet potatoes on the way back. We'll dig some sweet potatoes and cook sweet potato rice for you tomorrow.”
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai shouted after they came back.
Suddenly, they saw that there were two old men in the courtyard of the mortuary besides Ninth Uncle.
The two old men looked very unfamiliar and did not seem to be from Ren Town. They were probably from other places.
Looking at their skinny and tanned hands, Chu Yuan guessed that they should be farmers.
However, although the two elders were of low status, Ninth Uncle still treated them politely.
"Ninth Uncle, we've walked dozens of miles of mountain roads to come here. You have to help us get rid of the demons!”
"That's right! Our village can't even survive now.”
Ninth Uncle's expression remained the same. He nodded solemnly and said,"It's our duty as Mao Mountain disciples to subdue demons and protect the Dao. If demons really harm people, I won't stand by and do nothing. I hope that the two elders can tell me the details of the demon in your mansion.”
"That's a water spirit…"
A hundred miles south of the Ren family town, there were many water systems. There were many water systems in the surrounding rivers, and one of them was called the Black Water River.
The land by the river was fertile, and people had settled down and cultivated it hundreds of years ago.
As time passed, more and more Blackwater villagers appeared.
That place was far away from the chaos of war, and life was peaceful. The villagers lived happily.
However, no one dared to approach the Black Water River anymore.
It was rumored that there were water ghosts there.
There were legends of water ghosts in every big river, but the one in the Black River was especially powerful.
At first, the local villagers had also invited the High Monk Avenue to subdue the demons and monsters, and the water ghosts in the river were temporarily suppressed.
However, just last year, a large ship appeared out of nowhere. There were goods and sailors on it.
When the boat reached the center of the river, it suddenly encountered a huge wave that overturned the boat and buried everyone in the water.
This time, the water ghost swallowed many Yin souls, and its cultivation rose to a very high level.
Even if the eminent monk came to subdue the demon, he would be powerless.
As time passed, the entire Black Water River became a forbidden area.
The villagers of Black Water Village were in a difficult position.
The grain and vegetables that had been captured had to be sold on the other side of the river. Now, there were no boats that dared to carry people across the river.
Therefore, the water ghost had to be eliminated.
The villagers had heard that there was a Taoist master in the Ren family town, so they came to visit.
"How do you know me?" Ninth Uncle asked.”
An old man said," A few days ago, we heard that you and your disciple killed a huge gorilla in Ren Town. We thought that no matter how powerful the water ghost was, it couldn't compare to the gorilla king. That's why we came.”
Hearing this, Ninth Uncle immediately beamed with joy.
It turned out that the fame of Chu Yuan killing the gorilla had spread so far?
If we continue to recruit like this, won't we be famous in the world after getting rid of a few more?
He had to help Shui Gui no matter what.
He nodded lightly and said with a smile,"Don't worry, elders. This Penniless Priest will definitely help you get rid of the water ghost. Chu Yuan, why don't you follow the two uncles to the Black River?”
"Yes."
"Master Lin, aren't you going?"
The two elders frowned and asked in disappointment.
" Oh," Ninth Uncle said with a smile." Don't look down on my disciple just because he's young. He's quite capable." "He was the first to kill his gorilla last time, so don't worry.”
The two old men glanced at Chu Yuan's handsome but young face, and their hearts were beating rapidly.
"Master Lin, are you complaining that we're poor and can't afford to give you money?”
Uncle Nine waved his hand and said," I don't want money. I just want the villagers to help us spread our name after we get rid of the water demons. My name is Lin Ching-Ying, and his name is Chu Yuan."”
"However, we still think that it would be safer for you to go.”
"No need, no need."
" Chu Yuan will be able to eradicate the water-kind spirit creatures once he goes," Ninth Uncle said with certainty." I hope you can put in a good word for us, master and disciple." My name is Lin Ching-Ying, and his name is Chu Yuan."
The two elders looked at each other and could only agree helplessly.
Ninth Uncle then said to Chu Yuan,"Chu Yuan, come in with me."”
After saying that, he walked to the magic tool room where the demon-catching artifacts were displayed.
