Jiang Qingwan looked at Bai Shu.
"What is your opinion, Master? If you wish to test my abilities, I am willing to engage in a magical duel with you."
If practitioners have a dispute over something, they can use this method to decide whose opinion to follow.
Bai Shu changed his attitude, lightly flicked his whisk, and gave Jiang Qingwan a Taoist salute.
"I do not seek fame or fortune, but only to slay demons for the people of Dapo Village. I have heard of the Lotus Eight Trigrams Formation, and I am willing to leave it to lend you a helping hand."
Village Chief Hao was overjoyed upon hearing this.
He repeatedly clasped his hands in thanks.
The county magistrate also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Master Jin Chan is kind and compassionate. This matter is understood. I will post a notice to commend the Master’s righteousness.”
Bai Shu waved his hand modestly.
Jiang Qingwan glanced at him a few more times.
"Since the sorcerer agrees, then so be it. The Lotus Eight Trigrams Formation needs night to unleash its full power. The prince has already used talismans to control the Tai Sui and prevent it from acting recklessly. We will eliminate it after dark."
"Li Dou, form the battle formation."
Li Dong agreed and unloaded the peach wood ornaments and other items he had brought from the carriage, then set up the Bagua formation with the others.
Jiang Qingwan walked up to Xiao Hong and Xiao Hua and pointed to the Tai Sui on the fire stand.
"You all stay here, and no one is allowed to approach that thing!"
Both the fox and the tiger nodded.
Everyone who saw it was amazed.
Jiang Qingwan then instructed Ye Qi and Qing Sui to act as guards. After giving them instructions, she looked up at Mo Yunhan.
"Come with me to look around the village."
Mo Yunhan nodded.
The county magistrate approached him solicitously.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I am quite familiar with Dapo Village and would like to be your guide."
"No need!"
Mo Yunhan coldly refused and took Jiang Qingwan's small hand and left.
After leaving the ancestral hall, Mo Yunhan asked, "Was there something wrong with that Taoist priest?"
Jiang Qingwan nodded.
"Just a suspicion."
"The Grand Duke Jupiter is divided into Yin and Yang. The Yang Grand Duke Jupiter is just a piece of living flesh, which you can also regard as the physical body of the Yin Grand Duke Jupiter. The Yin Grand Duke Jupiter is extremely evil, while the Yang Grand Duke Jupiter itself is not aggressive at all and will never go berserk and eat people. When I touched it just now, I found that the reason why it was all red and restless was because someone had injected poison into it. If it wasn't someone in the village who tampered with it, then it could only be that sorcerer named Jin Chan."
Mo Yunhan frowned.
"What is that Yin Tai Sui...?"
Jiang Qingwan observed the feng shui layout of the village and casually replied.
"I've never seen it either."
"Never seen it before?"
Mo Yunhan's lips twitched involuntarily.
"You dare to arrest me if you've never even seen me before?"
Jiang Qingwan rolled her eyes at him.
"If I don't come to catch them, how can the Nine Dragons Formation be repaired? I've worked so hard, you have to pay me more."
Mo Yunhan was amused by her.
He reached out and gently pinched her little face.
"I will give you my private seal; you can take as many as you want. Everything I have belongs to my wife."
Jiang Qingwan's ears turned red as she heard this, and she kicked him in the shin.
"You're so glib; watch out, or I'll empty your pockets."
Mo Yunhan casually put his hands behind his back.
"Let's just move everything out. At worst, I'll rely on my wife to support me in the future."
Jiang Qingwan pursed her lips and scolded playfully, "The dignified Ninth Prince, you really have no shame!"
Mo Yunhan laughed loudly.
Just then, a shrill scream suddenly erupted from a courtyard on the side of the street.
The two men's expressions hardened, and they immediately rushed over.
The courtyard was in complete chaos.
A seven or eight-year-old girl was tied to a chair, her face contorted in pain, her body convulsing. A young woman was kneeling in front of her, pressing down on her legs, and urgently urging an old woman beside her.
"Mother, hurry up and burn it."
The old woman was burning several talismans and catching the falling ashes in a bowl filled with water.
He muttered to himself.
"It'll be soon, it'll be soon. Hold it down and drink this talisman water. Wheat will definitely get better. Master Jinchan won't lie."
The girl named Xiaomai was in excruciating pain, and the veins on her face were bulging.
It also occasionally let out inhuman screams.
Jiang Qingwan glanced at the half-burnt talisman and immediately stepped forward to stop it.
"Old man, this thing is useless."
The old woman had no time to pay attention to anyone else at the moment. She quickly dissolved the ashes of the talisman into the bowl, pinched Xiaomai's chin, and poured it down her throat.
As the talisman went down into his stomach.
The wheat really calmed down very quickly.
The young woman, also exhausted and covered in sweat, breathed a sigh of relief before turning to look at Jiang Qingwan.
He looked at them with a suspicious expression.
"You're not from Dapo Village?"
The old woman also turned around and looked at them, then kindly offered some advice.
“Out-of-towners, things haven’t been peaceful in Dapo Village lately. If you’re here to buy goods, you should stay in the county for a few days first before coming here.”
Every household in Dapo Village knows how to do handicrafts.
Lanterns, pottery, wood carvings, clay sculptures, and more are all available.
Many merchants come here to purchase goods throughout the year.
Clearly, the old woman mistook Jiang Qingwan and her companion for traveling merchants.
Jiang Qingwan didn't explain, she just looked at Xiaomai with her eyes closed.
When did this start happening to her?
The old woman refused to explain and waved her hand to shoo them away.
Just then, the man from the house returned.
Upon seeing Mo Yunhan and Jiang Qingwan, they quickly ran over to greet them.
"Your Highness and Your Highness, what brings you to my humble abode?"
The two women were also startled and quickly followed suit to pay their respects.
Jiang Qingwan asked again.
"When did this child start going crazy?"
Upon hearing this, the man's face immediately turned furious.
"After the appearance of Tai Sui, that harmful thing, if it weren't for the effective talisman water of Master Jin Chan, many people in our village would have been killed by that thing."
