I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 10 Changping Village

The three thieves cried out and begged for mercy. They all said that they were deceived by the food in the storage warehouse and did such a despicable behavior.They also honestly told them where the food was hidden and begged Jiang Wen to save their lives.

Jiang Wen listened to the three people's words and turned to look at the old village chief.The old village chief frowned and his face was ashen.

"The Immortal Master took us in to stay overnight in the temple and gave us food. How could we know that there are such ungrateful people like you who dare to steal the Immortal Master's things!" the old village chief shouted angrily. "Although the Immortal Master has promised to spare your life, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped. If you have a hundred palms, you will be hungry for three days before talking."

After the old village chief finished his instructions, he waved to the villagers.Several people rushed up like tigers and wolves, and tied up the three people with thick ropes.Then someone would hold their shoes and slap those people on the face, causing them to moan and groan.

Jiang Wen only glanced at the scene for a few times, then withdrew his gaze and stopped looking further.He had lived in a peaceful and prosperous age for a long time, and rarely saw such a cruel punishment scene at close range.Even the occasional violence is usually ended in bloodshed.

"Please, Master Immortal, please don't make us angry because of this. It's all these dogs with evil intentions." The old village chief looked at Jiang Wen with a hint of sadness in his brows.His voice was a bit flattering, for fear that the immortal master in front of him would no longer go to Changping Village because of something.

"Old village chief Wu Ang, I still know the difference between good and evil." Jiang Wen replied with a smile. "When do you think we can set off?"

"If you are willing, Master Immortal, you can leave now." The old village chief was overjoyed when he heard Jiang Wen's words, and bowed his body and made a greeting to him.He was afraid that he would do something wrong and let the immortal master change his mind.

"Shan, I'll pack up right away and go to Changping Village with you."

Jiang Wen returned to his residence to pack up and salute, which was similar to the last time he went to Li's Mansion. Thinking that there were still a few days left before his journey, he brought more things.

There is no space-based golden finger, and clothes can only be packed in the suitcase.Looking at the suitcase that couldn't hold anything, Jiang Wen finally understood why the ancients always brought a few carriages of things with them when they went out.

It’s really because I can’t bring so many things with me. There are no department stores, supermarkets or convenience stores. If I don’t bring the utensils I need every day, I have nowhere to buy them.

"I don't know if there are any magic weapons such as Qiankun bags and space rings. This eliminates the trouble of carrying them to salute. It would be very convenient." Jiang Wen thought with emotion.

I packed my things, pulled my suitcase and walked out the door.The old village chief and others looked at the strange-looking suitcase curiously. After learning that it contained the items Jiang Wen needed, they hurriedly took the suitcase and threw it on the oxcart.

Then a large number of people from the village headed towards Changping Village.

Rushing on the road in ancient times was extremely boring. If Jiang Wen hadn't brought a solar charger and a tablet computer, he would have had a lot of time on the road.

Perhaps the tablet computer was so novel that it attracted many children to watch.In the end, Jiang Wen was overwhelmed by the onlookers and could only place the tablet on the bullock cart for everyone to watch.

To relieve his boredom, he bought the complete set of four famous TV series.

Journey to the West was playing, and even the villagers quietly gathered around the bullock cart to watch.

I don’t know if this life is related to his world. Mandarin is also the official language of Daqian.Because of these reasons, Jiang Wen was able to talk freely with others when he first arrived.

Journey to the West started airing, and Monkey's character was deeply engraved in the hearts of the villagers.The great sage is making trouble in the sea, and the great sage is making trouble in the heaven. Everyone is excited to see it, and everyone claps and cheers.

So during those days on the road, Sun Dasheng became the center of conversation among the villagers.

Jiang Wen understood this. After all, he also loved watching monkeys when he was a child.After two days of traveling, the villagers became more and more respectful to Jiang Wen.Some people even think that he is the immortal in Journey to the West, the Bodhi Patriarch who disappeared in the mountains after Sun Dasheng left his disciples.

Jiang Wen expressed that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was not as capable as Patriarch Bodhi.As for the fact that the villagers believed that Journey to the West was a true story, he could only express that he could not explain it clearly.

After all, it is too difficult for villagers to understand the concept of TV series.What's more, although Journey to the West's special effects are lagging behind, the acting is really good.Making people of this era believe that the TV series is fake is even harder than reaching the sky.

The consequence of this incident was that the villagers respected Jiang Wen even more than they did the old village chief.

Not far from Changping Village, the faces of the villagers were filled with joy.Jiang Wen also knew the details of Changping Village through a chat with the old village chief along the way.

Changping Village is close to the Qinghe River and is only half a day's journey from Qingning County.There are 140 eight households in the village, and most of them rely on the river for their livelihood.Mostly due to convenient water and land transportation, Changping Village is also considered a relatively wealthy village.

Although it is not far from the river, it is rarely hit by floods.

The old village chief didn't know much about the haunting in the village.It's just that this ghost appeared suddenly and harmed many people in just a few days.If Changping Village had not been the place where they had lived for generations, the villagers would have fled elsewhere.

"Changping Village is the blessed land of our ancestors. How can we just leave? If we abandon our ancestors' land, we will not be able to see our ancestors even if we enter the underworld." The old village chief stamped his feet. Stomping his feet, looking sad.

Jiang Wen could only offer comfort. He knew how attached the ancients were to the land.

However, he thought about it again during his leisure time, and always felt that there was something weird in it.

After arriving at Changping Village, Jiang Wen got up from the carriage in vain.He clapped his hands and said suddenly: "The time when this ghost appeared was after I went to Li's Mansion!"

"How could the timing be such a coincidence? Is there any connection between these two things?"

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and in the end Jiang Wen was too lazy to think about it anymore.

The name of Changping Village stopped one mile outside the village. Standing on the hillside and looking out, you can already see the village with its houses.But there was no one around in the village, and even at noon meal time, there was no smoke rising.

With 140 eight households, Changping Village can be considered a big village.If no ghosts appeared, it would have been a lively place.

The villagers chose a flat place to rest on the spot and did not dare to take another step.When chopping firewood and cooking, soon there will be smoke rising.

Jiang Wen took the prepared talisman, talked with the old village chief, and decided to go to the village to have a look.After all, it was midday, and not even ghosts dared to appear at this time.

The old village chief called a strong man and asked him to take Jiang Wen to the village to have a look.The middle-aged man showed some confusion on his face, but finally nodded in agreement.

Driving the bullock cart, the strong man took Jiang Wen and drove towards the village.

Watching the two people walking away, the village chief stood under the shade of the tree and sighed sadly: "I hope this matter can be resolved soon."
