Taoist Xuanyi finished comforting Xia Yiqian with great difficulty, and without turning his head, he glanced seriously at the faces of all the county residents, finally looking at the clan leader.
"Chief, let's talk.
We hold no ill will toward the county, and there is nothing we cannot resolve through dialogue."
The Li family head was extremely angry, but he also knew that these people were not ordinary people. He said angrily, "What else is there to talk about? You have disrupted our sacrifice. The river god is about to bring disaster. What's the point of you saying more?!"
As a famous disciple of Taoism, Master Xuanyi has many opportunities to deal with stubborn old men.
He immediately said righteously: "The thing you are worshipping is not a god, but a demon.
Even if you offer him more sacrifices, his greed will never be satisfied. There is no way to completely resolve this situation."
Taoist Xuanyi looked at the team leader's increasingly ugly expression and quickly added, "We are people who engage in metaphysics and specialize in punishing demons and evil spirits.
If you're afraid of retaliation, why don't you let us handle this for you?"
At this point, Taoist Xuanyi had no choice but to help others solve the problem.
He had no doubt that those people would rush over with carrying poles and hoes. Even if they couldn't kill them all, it would be enough to make them look very embarrassed in front of the whole network.
We have to find a way to get this matter over with first.
After he said that, the team leader's expression actually softened a little, but only a little.
The clan leader frowned and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you can solve it?"
When Xia Yiqian heard his question, she looked up at him.
The fact that he asked this question clearly showed that he had already known that the ones collecting sacrifices in the river were demons, not gods.
So they deliberately wanted that man to die?
But they are clearly related, so why would they do this?
Taoist Xuanyi was asked this question and thought to himself, in the current situation, no matter whether it is possible or not, do I have to bite the bullet and say yes?
He quickly nodded with an unfathomable expression, "It can be solved."
The patriarch stared at him for a long time, and finally gave him a strange smile.
"Since you say you can solve it, I will believe you for now.
But if the river god gets angry and any problems arise in our county, you all have to jump into the river and offer sacrifices to the river god to appease his anger.
We just want to live a peaceful life. If you agree to this condition, I can put an end to your interruption of our sacrifice."
Taoist Xuanyi: ...
There were so many flaws in this speech that he didn't know which one to refute first.
But seeing the clan leader and a group of county residents staring at them with burning eyes, as if they wanted to eat them all right now, he really couldn't bear to refuse.
Taoist Xuanyi turned around and glanced at the others, with a questioning look in his eyes.
The others all nodded slightly, agreeing to this matter.
Taoist Xuanyi immediately assured the clan leader, "I promise you.
However, we don't know much about the river god here, so I need you to explain the whole story to me in detail."
At least they have to know what it is so they can figure out how to deal with it, right?
The clan leader glanced at the colorful-clothed man who had been rescued by Taoist Xuanyi and his companions, and said coldly, "Since you were the ones who rescued him, let him tell you. This will prevent you from thinking we're lying to you."
Xia Yiqian and the others naturally had no objections.
Compared to those who were hostile to them at first sight, this man in colorful clothes was obviously able to get along better with them.
Taoist Xuanyi said: "Okay, let's go back to the guesthouse now and figure out what happened. We will help you solve this matter later."
The patriarch nodded noncommittally, but ultimately did not issue any more orders to harm them.
The crew of "The Mysterious World of Heaven and Earth" were "escorted all the way" by the residents of Li County and were finally sent to the guesthouse.
