An Jingzhi picked up the sword and wiped it on the weasel's clean fur before putting it away.
He asked the villagers who were still watching in shock, "Can you lend me another fire?"
Lin Fu was awakened by An Jingzhi's words. He ran to An Jingzhi with a torch in his hand and said, "Master! Here."
An Jingzhi held a torch, chanted a spell, and lit the weasel's body with the torch in his hand. With a "boom", the weasel's body turned into ashes in less than a moment.
Even his soul was imprisoned by An Jingzhi's spell and turned to ashes.
Lin Fu felt an unprecedented shock when he saw the scene where only white ash was left.
When the people of Linjia Village were in despair, An Jingzhi appeared like a god saving them from danger.
Using thundering means, they killed the monster that seemed to be as powerful as to destroy the world in their eyes in less than a moment!
The people of Linjia Village were stunned for a long time before they reacted, "The monster is dead!?"
"Great! We don't have to get eaten by monsters!!"
Uncle Lin San and Village Chief Lin led the villagers towards An Jingzhi, knelt down together, and said in unison: "Thank you, Taoist priest, for saving our lives!"
An Jingzhi quickly waved his hands to stop them from kneeling.
The people of Linjia Village found that they could not kneel any further after kneeling halfway, so they simply stood up and bowed deeply to An Jingzhi.
I sighed in my heart that the Taoist priest was indeed very advanced!
"No need for such great courtesy, everyone. Exorcising demons and monsters is the duty of cultivators like us."
…
After the weasel died, his illusion lost its effect, and the fog in Linjia Village dissipated completely.
An Jingzhi was warmly received by the people of Linjia Village.
Although the food is simple, it is the best sincerity they can offer.
"Master, please try the specialty of our Linjia Village. This vanilla moon is the most famous dish in the surrounding villages."
"Master, this is my mother's specialty, please try it."
"Master, this is..."
An Jingzhi couldn't stand their enthusiasm. "You're welcome. Please be more relaxed. Otherwise, I'd be embarrassed to stay."
Uncle Lin San saw that An Jingzhi was not able to cope with it, so he finally said, "Okay, don't disturb the Taoist priest while he's eating."
Everyone stopped talking, but they would occasionally glance at An Jingzhi.
"The Taoist priest looks so young. I didn't expect his magical powers to be so profound."
"Yes! I was so scared at that time that my legs were so weak that I couldn't walk. I thought our Linjia Village was finished and I would never see my mother again."
"Do you think the Taoist priest can get used to our food?"
"There's nothing we can do. This is the best food we have. However, if we knew where the Taoist priest was practicing, we could donate some of the money we earned to the temple."
"Good idea! We'll ask later."
…
An Jingzhi certainly didn't tell them the address of the Taoist temple, because Taixuan Sect didn't need the offerings of the common people. However, under their repeated requests, he still told them which sect he had learned from.
Things like faith can be kept in mind; Taixuan Sect does not pay attention to these formal things.
The next morning, Lin Fu showed up at An Jingzhi's door early. Yesterday, An Jingzhi had been resting at the village chief's house, which was also Lin Fu's house.
As soon as An Jingzhi went out, he saw Lin Fu standing in front of the door. When Lin Fu saw the door open, he quickly bowed and saluted, "Hello, Taoist priest."
"Alright, don't be so polite. I saved you, and you treated me to dinner and kept me company overnight. We're even now. No need to be so polite."
Lin Fu heard this and said with great fear, "Master, what are you talking about? Master, the kindness you have shown us in saving the lives of the entire Linjia Village cannot be easily offset by these two things."
An Jingzhi didn't argue with him. "What did you come to see me for today? I saw you waiting outside long ago."
Lin Fu hesitated, unable to speak. After a long pause, his face flushed red as he spoke, and hesitantly, he asked, "Master, can I...can I learn Taoism from you? I don't want to endure the feeling of being helpless and waiting to die."
He had never had the opportunity before. He had never met such an easy-going and profound Taoist priest. Now that he had the chance, he would not be satisfied if he did not ask.
After Lin Fu finished speaking, he glanced at An Jingzhi, thought for a moment, and added, "If, if that doesn't work, Taoist priest, just pretend I didn't say anything today. Sorry for disturbing you."
Seeing that An Jingzhi still didn't say anything, Lin Fu already had the answer in his heart. He bowed silently and turned to walk towards the room.
At this time, the village chief's room was already crowded with people. After Lin Fu told the villagers about this idea, although everyone did not have much hope, they all wanted to see the result. They were a little disappointed when they saw Lin Fu being rejected.
But it is acceptable. After all, it is the Taoist priest's freedom to teach them or not. Can Taoism be so easy to learn?
The Taoist priest is so powerful at such a young age, his sect must be very powerful, otherwise how could they have produced a disciple like him?
Such a sect must be very strict in selecting disciples, so it is understandable that others look down on them.
It's not that they haven't seen other Taoist priests who can exorcise demons, but they have never seen anyone as powerful as An Jingzhi. With just a light move, the terrifying monster that has put the entire Linjia Village in a desperate situation fell down.
And those people were all arrogant, which was completely different from An Jingzhi's friendly attitude.
"Wait a minute, I come from the Taixuan Sect, and I cannot casually pass on the secret manuals of my master to outsiders. However, this is a Taoist manual I compiled myself. You can take a look at it if you need it."
Considering that these people might not be able to read, An Jingzhi said, "I will stay here for three days and teach you how to enter the Dao. You can all come and listen. How much you can learn depends on your own luck."
When Lin Fu was called, he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of anticipation. When he heard that An Jingzhi was willing to teach them the Dao of the entire village and even willing to stay for three days to teach them, he could no longer contain his excitement and knelt on his knees and kowtowed, "Thank you, Taoist priest!"
All the elders in the village headman's room filed out and knelt on their knees. "My benefactor! We in Linjia Village are willing to work like slaves for the Taoist priest to repay him for saving our lives and teaching the Dao!"
This time, An Jingzhi did not stop them from kneeling. He was preaching to them and was like their master, so he could bear this kneeling.
This Taoist introductory method was extracted by An Jingzhi when he was studying "Demon Secrets" by combining all the secrets of Taixuan Sect to find the most suitable method for mortals to get started.
This was his own creation, so he did not need to report it to his master in advance, nor did it violate the purpose of Taixuan Sect.
These people have good character. He has observed Lin Fu and found that he is a man of strong will and can remain calm in times of crisis. He should be a good candidate for cultivation.
An Jingzhi lectured on Taoism in Linjia Village for three days. During this period, many people from other villages joined in after hearing about it.
An Jingzhi saw it but didn't care. More and more people came and lived directly next to the fields of Linjia Village.
