Liu Daxian's words really frightened Mao Da and the others.
Five hundred giant demons, that's incredible!
Master Liu said with a solemn expression, "It's not as simple as just being haunted! Those ghosts are only causing disasters and eating livestock right now. Once the crops are done and the livestock are gone, it will be your turn! They will eat every single child in your village!"
"ah!"
Everyone turned pale with fright, and some of the children even burst into tears.
Mao Da was frantic: "Master Liu, what should we do? Please save our village!"
Liu Daxian said, "I am a celestial being who descended to earth to save you. I will naturally help you, but..."
At this point, Liu Daxian coldly looked at Lin Yu and the others, "Right now, the first thing you need to do is be careful of these people. We can't let them break through the One Line Sky and enter the Abyss again. Once they enter the Abyss again, the ghosts and monsters will be fully awakened, and then an even greater disaster will befall them!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Mao Da immediately roared at the villagers, "What are you all standing there for? Master Liu said we can't let them into Tianyuan anymore! All able-bodied men, go to Yixiantian and block the road! If they dare to break through, we'll fight them to the death!"
Mao Da knew that Lin Yu and his group were highly skilled in martial arts, and that they had even managed to bend Tie Chong, so he didn't dare to expel them. He could only order his men to block the road.
Ningxi's face was grim. If the First Line of Heaven was sealed off, how could they enter the Heavenly Abyss? And if they didn't go to the Heavenly Abyss, what would her father do?
You should know that Father is still in the abyss, his fate unknown!
"I'm going to Tianyuan right now, and I'd like to see who dares to stop me!"
Ningxi immediately wanted to lead the twelve mute slaves to force their way in.
At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly stopped her, "Miss Ning, please calm down!"
These are ordinary people after all; we can't force them!
The village chief snorted coldly, then asked Liu Daxian, "Liu Daxian, what should we do now? The livestock are dead, but the crops can't be damaged. This is our food supply for winter. We're about to plant rice. If the land continues to dry out, we might not be able to survive the winter!"
"Don't panic! I certainly have a way!"
Master Liu, with a confident expression, said, "In this situation, I must perform a ritual to ask the Dragon King to send rain! The Dragon King is the god of the land; even Guan Yu would have to give him some respect!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but sneer.
Well, after all that, it all came down to religious rituals. Isn't this just a blatant scam to rip people off?
Sure enough, Master Liu stroked his goatee and said, "However, this ritual is very taxing on me, so I can't do it for free! You all know my rules: each household must contribute 10,000 yuan as a donation! As long as the money is in place, I can start the ritual immediately!"
What, ten thousand yuan?
Mao Da and the others were all stunned!
You have to understand, they are all farmers. They occasionally go out to work, but it's always the lowest-level jobs. It would probably take them several months to earn 10,000 yuan. Where would they get that kind of money?
Liu Daxian looked displeased. "What, you think it's too much? Heh, when the five hundred great ghosts eat your children, you probably won't think it's too much!"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
No amount of money, even if it's ten thousand yuan, can compare to the safety of a child!
"Okay, ten thousand it is, we'll pay!"
"Everyone, stop standing there! Hurry back and get ready to raise the money for Master Liu!"
Mao Dayi was taken aback when he gave the order, and everyone began to prepare.
However, at this moment, Lin Yu spoke up, "I advise you not to waste your time! This drought is not caused by the five hundred great ghosts, and performing rituals will not bring rain!"
Liu Daxian frowned and looked over coldly. "Young man, do you dare to question me?"
"Kid, what nonsense are you spouting!"
"Do you even know Liu Daxian before you dare to question him?"
"Master Liu is a well-known living deity in our surrounding villages!"
"That's right! Master Liu prayed for rain before. I saw it in the next village. Everyone saw it. It really rained that day!"
In the eyes of these villagers, Liu Daxian was a god, and Liu Daxian had indeed shown some skills, so they naturally spoke up for Liu Daxian at this moment.
With the villagers' support, Liu Daxian looked at Lin Yu with an arrogant expression, "Boy, you heard it all, even the villagers acknowledge my abilities! How could a mere mortal like you possibly comprehend the power of this great immortal!"
Lin Yu sneered, revealing a mocking expression, and said, "Since you're so confident, how about we make a bet?"
Liu Daxian was slightly taken aback, then frowned and asked, "What do you want to bet on?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "If you can't pray for rain, it means this has nothing to do with the Five Hundred Great Ghosts. You can no longer stop us from entering Tianyuan!"
Mao Da's face turned cold. "Kid, so after all this time, you're still after Tianyuan?"
Liu Daxian waved his hand and sneered, "It's alright! With me here, I can naturally suppress the five hundred great ghosts! But I'd like to ask, what if I manage to summon this rain? What will you say then?"
Lin Yu glanced at the villagers and said calmly, "If you can really bring rain, I'll cover the 10,000 yuan per household! In addition, I'll give you an extra million yuan, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, but their faces immediately lit up with joy.
Unexpectedly, this sucker was actually willing to pay 10,000 yuan for them.
Master Liu was overjoyed. Well, this trip wasn't a waste of time; there was even an unexpected bonus!
Actually, he's a liar outside, and he only came to this remote and impoverished place to hide after committing a crime.
He swindled almost every village in the surrounding area, but he didn't manage to swindle much money in total.
Because Guanmiao is such a poor place.
If he could get that million from Lin Yu, he could immediately stop, because with that capital, he could fly far away to the south and continue his scamming.
Thinking of this, he immediately clapped his hands. "Okay, you said it yourself, you can't go back on your word. If you dare to go back on your word..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sneer, "Many of the villages within this radius are my followers! If you dare to renege on your promises, I guarantee you won't leave the temple alive!"
Lin Yu naturally didn't take his threat seriously, and simply nodded with a smile, "Come on! Show me! I want to see how this so-called 'great immortal' performs his magic!"
Lin Yu was also very curious as to why this guy was so confident in saying that he could bring rain.
The idea of praying to the Dragon King is pure nonsense. Anyone who has completed nine years of compulsory education knows that thunder and rain are physical phenomena. Unless it's artificial rainmaking, it's not something that humans can interfere with.
This kid really thinks he's some kind of thunder god or lightning goddess?
