Looking at the Gu fish that was at least three or four meters long floating in the water, the villagers in all the villages were stunned, and then they cheered excitedly.
Many villagers sailed to the center of the river and hurriedly fished out the huge carcass of the Guppy.
The Taoist priest stood at the bow of the boat with a smile on his face and his hands behind his back, and came to the dock with the demeanor of a master.
All the villagers, led by the village chief, immediately gathered around him and looked at him in awe.
The village chief held a bamboo basket in his hand and handed it to the Taoist priest with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Taoist priest, for exorcising the demon in our village. Here is a small amount of silver and two thousand-year-old salted fish. Please accept them!"
“…”
The fake Taoist smelled the strong fishy smell of the two thousand-year-old salted fish, and said calmly, "Hey, as a Taoist, I only want to help the world. I won't take such a precious thing!"
As he said this, the fake Taoist priest suppressed his nausea, picked up the two thousand-year-old salted fish, and returned them to the village chief.
Then, the Taoist priest turned around and said loudly: "Now that I have killed the monster, you can do whatever you want with it!"
The villagers were filled with hatred and shouted, "Kill it, kill it!"
An untimely voice came: "Isn't it dead?"
The villagers were stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily: "Then beat him to death again!"
At the back of the crowd, a young man rolled his eyes and said, "You guys are so unreasonable. If you want to kill a dead fish, you can only go to the underworld to look for its soul."
"It just so happens that I know a shortcut to the underworld. Would you like me to give you a ride?"
The boy joked with a smile, not worrying at all that his remarks might arouse public anger.
Many villagers turned around angrily and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
There was a black-haired boy and a young man with messy hair standing there. The former was looking at them with a smile, while the latter was flipping through a book, as if looking for some written records.
"…Who are you?"
The village chief glared at the two of them.
Du Qian said seriously: "It's just a Kamen Rider passing by!"
Fake...Kamen Rider?
All the villagers were stunned.
"You are talking nonsense!" The village chief turned around angrily and looked at the young man with chicken coop hair and asked, "Who are you?"
"Me?"
Chen Xuanzang raised his head in a daze, and then said in a serious tone: "My name is Chen Xuanzang, I am an unordained Mahayana Buddhist disciple, and I am also an exorcist who exorcises demons and monsters."
Then, Chen Xuanzang said seriously: "Fellow villagers, you are all wrong, it is not the murderer!"
Chen Xuanzang showed the book in his hand, pointed at the picture on it and explained: "It's just a Gu's fish. It's kind by nature, positive and optimistic, and has good character. It's a pity that it has grown a little bit big..."
At the end, Chen Xuanzang's tone became regretful and sorrowful.
When the village chief heard that he was also an exorcist, his tone instantly softened and he explained, "It's not like we haven't seen Gu's fish before, but we've never seen one this big. The Taoist priest said that this is a demon possessing us!"
Chen Xuanzang showed helplessness and showed the book, "Village Chief, if you don't believe me, look, it's really not the monster you're looking for!"
Seeing this scene, the Taoist priest felt a pang in his heart, fearing that the young man with the messy hair would really expose his scam.
So he immediately jumped out, brewing his emotions, and said in grief: "A good father was killed by a monster, and the innocent victim's family is in agony, and you actually said such words, you...you..."
After saying this, the Taoist priest immediately covered his face with his hands and looked sad.
Many villagers resonated with this and glared at Chen Xuanzang.
An auntie came to Chen Xuanzang angrily and asked with red eyes: "Have you ever had a husband die?"
Chen Xuanzang was confused and smiled bitterly: "Sister, you have to believe me, I don't have a husband..."
The aunt turned a deaf ear and continued to ask: "Just tell me, has your husband ever died?!"
Chen Xuanzang smiled bitterly and said, "I..."
Before he finished speaking, Du Qian suddenly jumped out, his eyes widened, and he looked at the Taoist priest with trembling fingers.
"Okay, I didn't recognize you just now, but now that I look carefully, it's really you!"
"Okay, okay, you exhibitionist, pervert, bastard who molested the widow of the King of South City, I actually caught you here. Come, I must arrest you and bring you to justice today!"
As he spoke, Du Qian rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward.
The Taoist priest didn't bother to pretend. He immediately widened his eyes and looked at Du Qian in confusion.
"you--"
Just as the Taoist priest was about to blame Du Qian with a face full of anger, a nameless fire ignited from his body and then turned into streams of flames that burst out from the Taoist priest's mouth, nostrils, ears, and even **.
For a moment, fire came out of the Taoist's nine orifices and smoke came out of seven orifices.
The surrounding villagers were frightened and moved away from the Taoist priest.
Du Qian seemed to be frightened by the other party as well. He quickly took a step back, looked at him with vigilance and anger on his face and said, "Okay, okay, you are angry because I pointed out your crime, and you want to hurt me, right? You are really an exhibitionist, a pervert!"
"I--"
The Taoist priest opened his eyes wide, not knowing why flames were bursting out of his body.
He glared at the young man and was about to explain when the nameless fire ignited again, causing fire to come out of all his nine orifices and smoke to come out of all his seven orifices.
Du Qian said with a firm look on his face: "He is anxious, anxious, he is anxious!"
When the villagers heard Du Qian's words and saw the Taoist priest who was on fire, their originally stunned looks gradually turned into suspicion.
The Taoist priest noticed the contemptuous looks of the crowd and felt extremely sad and angry, but there was a force controlling his body, forcing him to open his mouth and continuously spit out the flames in his body.
Not only that, the flames were clearly burning from within his body, but they were completely unable to harm him.
This strange scene made it hard for the ignorant villagers not to suspect that this was the Taoist priest's own trick.
Du Qian cursed the Taoist priest again in a low voice, then glanced at the astonished faces of the villagers around him and said, "You don't believe it?"
"If you don't believe me, just give it a try. Hey, that auntie, that's you. Your husband is dead, right? It just so happens that this pervert likes widows. Just stand in front of him and you'll know what I said is true!"
Hearing this, the aunt who had just questioned Chen Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, and then looked hesitant.
...Why are you hesitating?
Do you really think I'm a pervert who likes widows?
The Taoist priest subconsciously turned his head angrily and glared at the aunt.
At this moment, Du Qian secretly pointed and activated his magical power [Fighting Bare-chested].
In an instant, the Taoist robe burst open, revealing his skinny body like bone ribs.
Many villagers around exclaimed in surprise at once. The old lady screamed as if she was violated. She immediately covered her body with her hands and backed away, looking at the shirtless Taoist priest with a look of horror and shame.
The Taoist priest widened his eyes and looked at the aunt in disbelief.
Seeing this scene, many young and middle-aged male villagers looked at the Taoist priest with something strange in their eyes.
In this era, especially in remote fishing villages like Yulongzhai, women's reputation is taken very seriously. Even if a woman's husband dies, she must remain a widow and be faithful to her husband forever, and she is not allowed to remarry.
After all, people who go out to sea can easily die if they encounter strong winds and waves.
Therefore, the number of widows in Yulong Village is not small.
Many young men also know that they may become like this in the future.
Human nature is selfish. Even the ignorant villagers don't want to see their wives fooling around with other people after their death.
Therefore, in Yulong Village, all adulterers and adulterers, whether they are before or after marriage or widows, will be thrown into a pig cage.
When many male villagers began to doubt the Taoist's character in this regard, Du Qian quietly became their representative.
Du Qian's face was filled with anger, his fingers trembling slightly as he pointed at the Taoist priest with his upper body naked and said, "You...you...are shameless!"
Many male villagers echoed this and shouted angrily with Du Qian: "Shameless! Shameless!"
Du Qian struck while the iron was hot and shouted angrily, "You pervert, beat him to death! Beat him to death!"
The aunt who had questioned Chen Xuanzang "whether her husband had died" had already noticed the strange looks from her husband's brothers.
In order to protect her reputation and save her life from being thrown into the pig cage, the auntie was furious and was the first to shout:
"Kill him! Kill him!"
All the male villagers glared at the Taoist priest and shouted in unison: "Kill him! Kill him!"
Hearing the shouts around him, the Taoist priest panicked and wanted to explain immediately.
At this moment, Du Qian closed his magical power [Avoid the Real and Attack the Fake], strode forward, and punched the Taoist in the abdomen, causing him to swallow back the words of defense that he had not yet said.
At the same time, this action also aroused the courage of the villagers to take action.
They all came forward, surrounded the Taoist priest with a terrified face and beat him up.
Chen Xuanzang stared blankly at the chaotic scene in front of him, when suddenly a big hand reached out from the side, grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the crowd.
After seeing the smile on the young man in front of him, Chen Xuanzang swallowed his saliva, and a trace of fear could not help but emerge in his eyes.
At this moment, in his eyes, Du Qian was not some handsome young man at all, but the demon mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures!
Du Qian smiled and put his arm around his shoulders, ignoring the chaotic scene behind him. He said with a smile: "Okay, let's leave this to the hospitable villagers of Yulong Village. Let's go into the water first and see how to deal with the fish monster..."
Chen Xuanzang swallowed his saliva and said without hesitation: "I will listen to you!"
