Chapter Seventy-Eight: The First Signs of Defeat (I)

Could it be that Hu Qingxuan saw the identity of the master? I frowned and hurriedly looked at the master, but seeing that the master was still calm, I couldn't help muttering in my heart, if Hu Qingxuan had already recognized the master, then why didn't the master reveal his identity to Hu Qingxuan? It stands to reason that the master is also Hu Qingxuan's predecessor, and he is also a member of the Maoshan faction. But I waited for a long time, but I still didn't think that the master wanted to say anything, I couldn't help it, so I hurriedly said in place of the master: "Mr. Hu, my master is ......"

"Two dogs!" I didn't know that the master wouldn't let me say it, and said in a cold and angry voice: "It's all your seniors here, seniors talking, what are you interjecting?!" "Reprimanded me angrily, which made me a little confused, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, Master? Even if you explain it to Hu Qingxuan, what's the big deal? Hu Qingxuan would not go against the master like Gu Tan, even if he lent him a guts, he would not dare.

Then I don't understand, is the master deliberately not telling Hu Qingxuan his identity? What is Master's purpose?

Just when I was thinking nonsense, the master slowly stood up, saluted Hu Qingxuan again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu is polite, our master and apprentice are just people from the mountains and wilderness, and saying it has nothing to do with catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits this time, so it's better not to say it." ”

"Humph!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Master's words came out, Zhuo Xuanfeng of the Dao Heart Hall on the side couldn't sit still, Huo Di stood up and said with an arrogant face: "A mountain and wild Taoist priest dares to speak out, I said Hu Zhishu, what do you mean by looking for so many people?" Don't you believe in the abilities of our Dao Heart Hall? Think that our Daoxin Hall can't help you catch a ghost in Pingyang Town and drive away an evil spirit? If you Pingyang Town plans to do so, then don't blame me Zhuo for being rude and saying goodbye! ”

Seeing that Zhuo Xuanfeng of Dao Xintang turned around to leave, Hu Zhishu hurriedly chased forward with a smile, and said with a sigh: "What did Mr. Zhuo say, how could we think so, who doesn't know Mr. Zhuo's reputation in this area?" The people of our Pingyang Town just don't know how to be a person anymore, and they don't dare to treat Mr. Zhuo slowly, but this time our haunted thing in Pingyang Town has caused the chickens and dogs in the village to be restless, and they are also worried that they will not be able to invite you masters, so they will invite you in many ways, how do you know that you are all great virtues of compassion and help the world, and you came to our Pingyang Town together. ”

When Dao Xintang Zhuo Xuanfeng heard this, he stopped, and glanced at the other people with disdain, naturally including the master. Then Zhuo Xuanfeng opened his mouth and said with a smile: "For the sake of Hu Zhishu's sincerity, it is also true, our Daoxin Hall knows about the haunting of your Pingyang Town, and we also have compassion, so I, Zhuo, came to your place in person, and I also want to save the people here from fire and water!" ”

Hu Zhishu smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, then Mr. Zhuo is not leaving?" ”

"Well......" Zhuo Xuanfeng straightened his clothes, and said solemnly: "It's okay if you don't leave, but this ghost catching thing, our Daoxintang family takes care of it, and we don't need outsiders to interfere." If other people want to leave, they don't have to stop them, if they want to stay and see the excitement, they might as well sit there honestly and watch my Dao Heart Hall eradicate this bloody ghost! After speaking, Zhuo Xuanfeng glanced at Hu Zhishu lightly.

Hu Zhishu looked embarrassed and glanced at the three old ladies opposite, only to see that the three old ladies had nothing to say. At this moment, Luo Xinghai, a smiling short and fat man, slowly stood up, picked up the gossip compass hanging on his chest and looked at it, and said with a casual smile: "Since Daoxintang is so sure, then we don't want to steal the limelight from others, Hu Zhishu doesn't have to be embarrassed, if Daoxintang can really take on the heavy responsibility of eliminating ghosts this time, we will naturally be happy, but a few of us eat and live here for nothing, so we want to let you Pingyang Town break the bank......"

Listening to Luo Xinghai's words, it seemed that he didn't want to leave, but more wanted to see Zhuo Xuanfeng make a fool of himself. There were words in his words, which was clearly an allusion to Zhuo Xuanfeng's inability to deal with the bloody ghost, on our side, the master sat down again with an indifferent face, smiled and nodded towards Luo Xinghai, and Hu Qingxuan, who was standing on the side, first looked at the master, then at Luo Xinghai, and then strode back to his seat and sat down, with a displeased face, and did not say that he agreed, nor did he say disagree.

Hu Zhishu was anxious like an ant on a hot pot at the moment, but after seeing that there was no objection from a few people on our side, he suddenly laughed with relief: "So, the other gentlemen all agree that Mr. Zhuo of Daoxin Hall will take action to get rid of the ghost first?" Hehe, that's great, let's find a way together, it's much easier to do then, besides, the villagers in the village know that we have so many masters here, and everyone's hearts can settle down, as for food and shelter, it's all a trivial matter, although we are not rich here, but in terms of hospitality, we will never dare to slack off, never dare to slacken, hehe! ”

I only heard Hu Zhishu speak almost tactfully, and he finally appeased Luo Xinghai and Hu Qingxuan, the two gentlemen, there is good food and good accommodation, and there is no need to contribute first, no one will have an opinion, and I have no opinion, anyway, I can also be treated with high etiquette with the master, why not?

It was the three old ladies on the opposite side who whispered something to each other, and finally the old lady Wu in a gray robe said with a smile: "As long as you gentlemen can get along with each other, they are all our distinguished guests in Pingyang Town, hehe, naturally we don't dare to slack off, if we get rid of the bloody ghost this time, we will naturally have a heart in Pingyang Town." I won't let you lose money, hehe! ”

When Zhuo Xuanfeng of the Daoxin Hall heard this, he immediately smiled at a few people on our side: "We can just do the matter of eliminating ghosts in our Daoxin Hall, you can still watch the excitement and get benefits when you arrive, which can be regarded as staining the light of our Daoxin Hall!" ”

Luo Xinghai then continued: "I don't have any opinion, but when Mr. Zhuo can't stand it, I can say that I, Luo Xinghai, am not a person who has a bad heart, and I will still help if I should help!" Hearing Luo Xinghai's words, Zhuo Xuanfeng of Daoxin Hall suddenly sneered disdainfully, turned around and returned to his seat, and sat down solemnly. But what they said, the master did not interject again, and did not say a word, just quietly observed the people present.

Hu Qingxuan finally spoke again, but he sneered: "There is no need to get wet, if Mr. Zhuo of Daoxin Hall can really get rid of that bloody ghost, I don't want to pay Hu Qingxuan a penny, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get rid of it when the time comes, but I will help wipe my buttocks......" Hearing this, Luo Xinghai, who was sitting on the side, suddenly laughed, and I couldn't help laughing, this Hu Qingxuan's ability to damage people is really first-class.

"You!" Dao Xintang Zhuo Xuan was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he turned to say angrily: "When the time comes, let you see how that bloody ghost was subdued by Zhuo!" Those who don't know the province are also indiscriminately squeezing out speculation! In an instant, Zhuo Xuanfeng turned his head to look at the master, and smiled casually, "Mr. Yang's words just now, Zhuo Mou thinks it makes sense, some people want to use people to lure the bloody ghost out first, and they don't care too much about the safety of the villagers. At that time, Zhuo will kill demons and ghosts for the villagers, and return Pingyang Town to a peace! ”

These words can't help but make me feel ridiculous, the master refuted Hu Qingxuan, but pointed out the power of the bloody ghost, and it is not that simple. And Zhuo Xuanfeng actually misinterpreted the master's meaning to destroy it without any help, just with a spirit rune, which is also too blowing!

But the master doesn't seem to want to argue anymore, maybe he knows that if this dispute continues, it still can't change the situation, and Hu Zhishu and the three old ladies obviously want the masters of each family to try it out to see who can cure the bloody ghost. In this way, it can only be more secure and more beneficial to Binh Duong Town. I can see the plans of the three old ladies, and the master naturally has already understood it, so what else can he say.

Master smiled and nodded: "This time it is all up to Mr. Zhuo's arrangement." ”

When Zhuo Xuanfeng got Master's words, his attitude towards our master and apprentice suddenly improved, and it seemed that under the additional exclusion, the people who could find common topics also made him feel a little relied on. immediately hugged his fist to the master and saluted: "Mr. Yang is really a virtuous person, so since he said so, Zhuo Mou will be ugly tonight." Hu Zhishu, before today's unitary time, I will arrange the altar at the entrance of the village, and I will definitely be able to help Pingyang Town calm this haunted turmoil! ”

When Hu Zhishu heard this, he immediately asked for the consent of the three old ladies, turned around and nodded with a smile: "Nature is good, nature is good, then we must follow Mr. Zhuo's instructions to arrange the altar properly, by the way, what materials does Mr. Zhuo need, you may wish to explain to us, we will definitely prepare for you!" ”

Zhuo Xuanfeng nodded, got up and was about to speak, but he turned to the master and said: "Mr. Yang, Zhuo is here, he didn't bring his disciples and entourage, this arrangement of the altar is very exquisite, I need someone to help, and this person must at least know some Xuanmen matters, I don't know if I can borrow Mr. Yang's apprentice?" "Hearing this, I was stunned, this, this Zhuo Xuanfeng actually wants to borrow me from the master, and the mother treats me as a servant?

But I never expected that the master would smile and nod: "Although the junior disciple is cultivating for a shallow day, he is still more or less capable of such trivial things as arranging the Dharma altar." Well, Ergou, you should go with Mr. Zhuo to arrange the altar, remember, everything is subject to Mr. Zhuo's arrangement, and you must not have the slightest slackness, otherwise you will not be spared for the teacher! ”

"Uh......" I hurriedly scratched the back of my head, muttered a little, and had to nod helplessly: "That, okay then." ”
