“It’s time to eat!”
Uncle Jiu shouted, and Ah Hai and Ah Chu had already placed the food on the table. He also picked up a thick and big incense stick and inserted it into the incense burner.
Ah Hai was full of envy, "Brother, you still have the best life!"
You don’t have to do anything all day, and you don’t have to worry about eating or sleeping. All you need is a stick of incense.
“Eat your meal!”
Uncle Jiu glared at him and said, "He is wandering somewhere else now. He is not here at all."
"He's not here..."
Ah Hai was a little disappointed, but then he became curious again, "Isn't Senior Brother only in charge of our Gantian Town?"
He originally thought that Gantian Town was big enough, but after hearing what the master said, he realized that his senior brother was in charge of more than just Gantian Town.
"There are few gods now, but there are many territories. We should take care of as many as possible."
Uncle Jiu didn't know why his apprentice cared so much about believers. He ran around outside every day, as if he wanted to include the entire province in his group of believers.
So many people nag and beg in front of him, he is annoyed.
But it’s okay, this way I can help more people, and doing more good things is always a good thing.
The three of them were sitting on chairs eating, and Uncle Jiu suddenly noticed that there were some new things in the corner next to them, a mess, including eggs, cabbage, radishes, and all kinds of seasonal vegetables.
"Where did these things come from?"
He hadn't seen them in the morning, but after he went out at noon for a while, these things appeared in the house.
Ah Hai lowered his head instantly and whispered, "It was given by the villagers."
"Um?"
Uncle Jiu snorted, and his voice suddenly became more dignified, "Didn't I say that I don't want their things?"
If it were in the past, it would be reasonable for him to receive some compensation for helping his fellow villagers slay demons and monsters, and he would also accept some gifts from his fellow villagers.
But later, a mountain of gold fell from the charity cemetery, and Uncle Jiu no longer had to worry about money. There was another reason for not accepting the rewards from the villagers. There was still a war going on outside, and it was very chaotic. It had been going on for many years, and it was difficult to support his family. How could he accept their things
"Master, please leave Ah Hai alone."
Ah Chu was a little embarrassed. "Ah Hai tried his best to stop them and didn't want their things, but the villagers still threw their things in. By the time we left, they had all left."
Uncle Jiu nodded and said nothing more. He thought that he would have to live on these dishes for the next few days.
He is not a wasteful person. He spends what should be spent and saves what should be saved. It is wrong to waste food.
Seeing that Uncle Jiu stopped talking, Ah Hai and Ah Chu breathed a sigh of relief. Their master had always been very strict with them, not only in their cultivation but also in their daily conduct.
After taking two more mouthfuls of rice, he heard a strange noise coming from the hall.
Everyone looked up and discovered that the statue of the City God enshrined on the incense table was moving, and the strange sound was the bell in his hand shaking.
Ah Hai and Ah Chu looked confused. They thought Russell couldn't get used to the incense and wanted to change it!
"It's bad. Something must have happened."
This was the agreement Russell made with his Uncle Jiu. As the City God, he could not always live in Gantian Town. He had to travel around the entire territory and eliminate the ghosts that were causing trouble everywhere.
Once there is anything unusual in Gantian Town, Russell will send a message remotely through the statue to tell them what happened and prevent the evil spirits from harming people.
Uncle Jiu crossed his two fingers, and a red light flew out and imprinted on the statue of the City God. The City God immediately spoke.
"Master, I noticed that there is a place in Gantian Town where snakes have become demons through cultivation, but their intelligence has not yet been awakened. You have to pay attention."
"I see."
As soon as the voice fell, the statue spit out something from its mouth, a palm-sized bracelet, "This is a beast-controlling ring, it has a natural restraining effect on those monsters."
After saying this, the statue remained motionless, continuing to inhale the wisps of incense.
Ah Hai walked forward, took the bracelet, and handed it to Uncle Jiu, "Master, how did this snake become a demon?"
"There is a vital energy between heaven and earth. Almost everything has it. It depends on how you use it. Animals often cultivate it and it becomes demonic power. Taoists cultivate it and it becomes magic power. Monks cultivate it and it becomes Buddha power."
Uncle Jiu fiddled with the bracelet on his hand. It was crystal clear and could be considered a pretty good magical weapon. It seemed that the snake demon was not that good this time.
If the snake demon was powerful, he would only need the Bagua mirror and the yellow talisman, and would not need this bracelet at all.
This bracelet is not for him, but for Ah Hai and Ah Chu. He doesn't need to do it himself for small things.
"Take this bracelet and go to the mountain to look for the snake demon."
Uncle Jiu handed the bracelet to Ah Hai. This apprentice was much more reliable than the previous Wencai Qiu Sheng, so he could be trusted to take care of the small matters of catching monsters and ghosts.
You have to know that when Russell was nine years old, he could work independently and catch monsters and zombies with ease.
The two were familiar with Uncle Jiu's tasks, so after dinner, they began to pack up, prepared the magic tools and talismans, and went out.
But soon, the two found that they were still a little young.
That hill is too big, where can we find the snake demon
The two could only search along the mountain road, bit by bit, to see if they could get lucky.
At this moment, Ah Hai suddenly reached out and poked Ah Chu.
"What?"
"Look, there's a beautiful girl!"
Ah Chu was instantly startled, and he saw in the distance a woman who was dressed very coolly and looked particularly wild.
The attire was completely different from theirs, as if it was from someone who came out of a village, wearing very little and made of rare materials.
The woman glanced at them and turned her head away, as if looking for something
"Girl, what are you looking for? Do you need our help?"
Ah Hai instantly felt like he fell in love at first sight, and hurriedly went up to chat with her, but the woman rolled her eyes. The woman simply kicked her feet and nimbly jumped around on the tree, heading off into the distance.
"What are you so proud of..."
He couldn't help but mutter something, and he became more and more convinced in his heart that such a person was definitely not from the town, and the girls in the town were not like her.
"Ahai, did you hear that sound?" Achu next to him suddenly raised his head and looked around. He felt that he had heard something just now.
"What?"
The next moment, a scream was heard. This time it was extremely clear and panicked. "There is a snake demon!"
Snake demon?
The two of them came to their senses instantly and ran over there.
I saw a huge monster blocking the road on the mountain road not far away, and opposite it, several farmers were shivering, their legs were weak, and chickens and ducks were scattered all over the ground, making it a mess.
"Hiss! What a big snake!"
