Villager of Destiny

Chapter 114 Bewitched
For the next day and night, Liu Shan and I stayed at Uncle Xu's house.

No one came to see us except for the two people who were guarding outside the house who brought us a little food at a certain time.

It's as if we've been forgotten.

And the whole village was very calm, as if nothing had happened.

It was not until the next morning that Xu Ergou finally found him.

This time Xu Ergou looked very pale. When he saw me, he knelt down in front of me and said with red eyes, "We misunderstood you before, please help us."

Seeing Xu Ergou like this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

I know that the people who went up the mountain behind must have had an accident.

I helped Xu Ergou up and said, "Talk about the situation first."

Xu Ergou said angrily, "After betting with you, we picked out a few people to come out to find that Boss Zhang's change, and then went up the mountain that night."

"There were five people in total, and no one came down."

"Even Xu Tie..."

When Xu Ergou said this, his voice became a little choked up.

"We went to ask Boss Zhang, but Boss Zhang invited the Taoist priest from Maoshan over again, insisting that they took the treasure and ran away."

"What about the others?" I asked.

Xu Ergou said: "Some people still believe it, and they have already taken money from Boss Zhang."

"But when I think of the village head's appearance at that time, I can't believe it anymore."

I sighed, I didn't know what to say.

It has been confirmed that so many people have died, and there are still people who want to believe what Boss Zhang said.

Liu Shan on the side also sighed: "Man dies for money and birds die for food."

"Boss Zhang really gave too much."

Xu Ergou looked at me again and said, "It was my fault before."

"Please also help us."

"They're going up the mountain tonight, and I'm afraid they won't be able to come back."

"So many people have gone missing in the village..."

I nodded and said, "I see."

"Take me there."

Soon the three of us came to the entrance of the village, and at a glance, I saw that Boss Zhang was still holding money in the villager of the agitator Tanhua Village, and the Taoist priest who claimed to be from Maoshan was standing aside, with an indifferent expression human appearance.

As expected, several people had already taken Boss Zhang's money at this time, and it seemed that they still wanted to go up the mountain to find the so-called treasure.

Seeing that Xu Ergou was leading me, the crowd automatically moved out of the way.

Boss Zhang's eyes also fell on me. He probably knew what happened before, and when he saw me, his face became a little more dissatisfied.

"Boy."

"You are too unkind, aren't you?"

Boss Zhang walked towards me as soon as he saw me.

"It's not easy for the big guys to make money. Now that you have an opportunity to make them make money, you actually incited them, didn't let them go, and said that there are ghosts on the mountain."

"The Taoist priest can say that there are no ghosts on the mountain."

"Those people just ran away."

"You have to explain this to me clearly."

I looked at him, smiled and said, "Aren't you also inciting everyone to go up the mountain?"

"So many people are missing, could it be that they all took their treasures and ran away?"

"Besides, as an outsider, they can agree with me to go up the mountain. Why don't you just give them the money and go up the mountain to find the treasure yourself."

"Then they won't run away with the baby?"

Boss Zhang was a little speechless by what I said, and after a while he snorted coldly: "How do I have so much time?"

"Besides, how I want to spend money has nothing to do with you?"

"You spread rumors that there are ghosts on the mountain, which made everyone frightened..."

Before Boss Zhang finished speaking, the Taoist priest who had been silent behind him came over. He looked at me for a while and said, "I heard from the folks that you have amazing abilities."

"And you said you were here to catch ghosts?"

"I just don't know, which sect and faction do you come from?"

Hearing this, I saw that he didn't answer, but asked instead: "Then what sect and faction are you?"

The Taoist smiled slightly and said, "The poor Taoist Wang Shouyi comes from the Maoshan lineage, and he is now wandering in the clouds."

Is it really from the Maoshan lineage?

I frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said: "Pimpedao comes from the lineage of the celestial master. He studied under the celestial master Li Bowen, named Li Xuantian, and now he is also traveling in the clouds."

"The lineage of the Celestial Master?" Wang Shouyi was a little surprised, and then said with a smile: "Forgive me for my ignorance, I have never heard of this lineage, and I have never heard of Daoist Li Bowen."

I froze for a moment.

Don't even know the lineage of the Celestial Master?
Is this really a Taoist priest from Maoshan?
At this moment, Wang Shouyi's eyes turned cold.

"How dare you question the poor way, you, a junior from the Wuming sect who doesn't know where?"

Hearing his words, Boss Zhang echoed, "That's right."

"I see you as a charlatan."

"Even Daoist Wang has repeatedly confirmed that there are no ghosts on this mountain, how dare you talk nonsense."

After finishing speaking, Boss Zhang took the money and looked at the surrounding villagers of Tanhua Village, then pointed at me and said, "Everyone, you have also seen it, he is just a charlatan who came out of nowhere."

"He lied to you that there are ghosts on the mountain. Nine times out of ten, he just wanted to make you dare not go up the mountain, and then went to swallow the treasure by himself."

"But don't worry, I won't be fooled by him."

"I also hope that you will not be bewitched by him."

"One piece of treasure costs 1000 yuan. Where can you find such a cheap thing?"

"Yes, yes, there are no ghosts on this mountain." Someone echoed.

"What Wang Daochang said is right, this young man looks so old, even if he has some skills, how can he compare to Wang Daochang."

"He's just a charlatan."

Hearing these discussions, Liu Shan's face suddenly became a little ugly and said: "What do you mean?"

"I also said that you are a charlatan."

Hearing this, Wang Shouyi smiled and said, "If that's the case, let everyone be a witness."

"Tonight, Pindao will go up the mountain with you to see if there are any ghosts on the mountain."

"how?"

"Okay!" I squinted and smiled at Wang Shouyi.

Although I don't know what Wang Shouyi is planning, but his proposal is exactly what I want to see.

After all, under the instigation of him and Boss Zhang, the villagers of Tanhua Village obviously believed in them more than me.

It is useless to say more in this case.

And now, I can almost confirm that the two of them are a group, although I still don't know what their purpose is to lure the villagers of Tanhua Village to the mountain, but it is certain that it will not be a good thing.

Otherwise, there would not be so many villagers in Tanhua Village who disappeared after going up the mountain.

Perhaps they also have something to do with the ghost who killed Uncle Xu.
