Chapter 18 Changsheng Village, what a big tone
"Changsheng Village, what a big tone."
In front of a village plaque, a man and a woman looked up at the three neatly written characters on the plaque, and the woman couldn't help but sigh.
They looked like wandering scholars from the way they were dressed.
Unemployed people wandering around.
He was carrying a sword on his back. The hilt was very old and it looked like he hadn't changed his weapon in a long time.
"Junior sister, this is nothing. We have seen the Fairy Village, right? What's so special about a mere Longevity Village? But the only thing I can be sure of is that the people in this village must be very simple." The man said with a smile.
"But brother, don't you always say that the world is full of dangers nowadays and we can't be careless?" the woman asked.
The man said, "As we walked along the path we came from, didn't you notice that the surrounding farmland was well taken care of? Although the busy villagers were bent over by farm work, their smiles revealed a kind of happiness and friendliness. So this village may be one of the few paradises."
The woman thought about what she had just seen and nodded in agreement.
"Let's go into the village."
The two men relaxed and walked briskly towards the village. When they met the villagers, they smiled and nodded. The villagers also looked at them and kept smiling.
As they walked away, the villagers gathered together and talked in low voices.
"Junior sister, look how friendly these villagers are."
"Yes, we'll go find an inn later."
"Junior sister, what are you thinking about? This is a village, where is the inn? We have to go to the village chief first. As long as the head of the village is willing to keep us, accommodation is not a problem."
"Wow, brother, you are so amazing and smart."
"Hey, of course. I am your most admired senior brother. I have been in the martial arts world for so many years and have a lot of experience."
Being able to show off in front of his junior sister is what he is most willing to do as a senior brother.
What we want is worship.
If the village chief had a little more understanding and arranged a bed for them, they would definitely have a happy night.
As I walked, I saw a group of children playing in front of me, and their laughter was very cheerful.
That's the eagle catching the chicken.
The child acting as the eagle looked to be about seven or eight years old. He was dressed a little stiffly, like a little adult, but it seemed a little out of place with his round face and chubby body.
Sudden.
Ding ding ding…
The two people who heard the sound were startled. The man had a bell without a clapper tied around his waist, so it should not be able to make any sound.
But this bell is different.
When there are evil spirits around, they will make sounds, and three times.
"Master...Brother, there is a monster."
"I know."
The man swallowed his saliva. One sound was ghost, two was monster, three was spirit, four was demon, and five was evil spirit.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
"Don't panic. Pretend you don't know. Let's go find the village chief and ask him if there have been any strange things happening in the village recently. Also, tell him about the monsters. Then we can work with the villagers to find a solution and join forces to deal with the monsters."
"Um."
The two of them took a deep breath, walked forward, and when they passed a group of children playing, they had no expression on their faces, didn't even look at them, quickened their pace, and walked straight past.
When they met a villager who asked about the location of the village chief's house, the villager saw that the two of them had strange expressions on their faces, so he took them to the village chief.
The population of Changsheng Village is not large, only about a hundred people, and the village chief's house is in the corner of the village.
Inside the house.
"You two, I am the village chief of Changsheng Village. What can I do for you?"
The village chief was over sixty years old and in very good health. When he learned that there were two guests from afar who urgently needed to see him, he came up from the fields to check out the situation.
At this time, there were still several villagers in the house.
Maybe the food in the village is better.
They are all quite strong.
"Village chief, my junior sister and I came here for a trip. We were planning to stay for a day or two and then leave, but I discovered that there are monsters in our village." The door was clearly closed, but he kept muttering in a low voice as if he was afraid of being heard by the monsters.
"ah?"
"ah?"
The village chief and the villagers gasped in disbelief.
"Hero, are you seeing things? Our Changsheng Village is blessed with outstanding people, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the villagers live and work in peace and contentment. No strange things have ever happened there." said the village chief.
"Oh, village chief, you may not believe me, but you have to believe in this bell of mine. You see, it doesn't even have a bell tongue, so it won't make any sound. But if there are monsters around, it will make a sound. This thing can't fool people. If you really don't believe it, whoever follows me will definitely make a sound as soon as they get close." said the man.
The village chief looked up and exchanged glances with the villagers, then said, "Your Excellency, we believe you, very much. I wonder if you two can eliminate the monsters in our village?"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The man lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed. "To be honest, my junior sister and I are not very skilled, so I'm afraid... I'm not sure. So I would like to ask the village chief to come forward and unite the villagers to work together. We can definitely eliminate the monster."
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." The village chief waved his hand, and then said to the villagers beside him: "Pour two bowls of tea for the two distinguished guests, and go call Butcher Liu and tell him that there is something important."
The two villagers nodded, one went to find Butcher Liu, and the other went to pour tea.
"Village chief, you are a reasonable person. Changsheng Village is lucky to have a village chief like you. My junior sister and I have been to many places, and there are monsters and ghosts in many places, but sometimes no one believes them. What do you think of this?"
The man became very angry when he thought of his past experiences.
"To be honest with you, when I was young, I studied hard and wanted to gain fame and honor. However, this world is too dangerous. My father told me that fame and honor are of no use and that it is better to stay in the village and benefit the people. I listened and believed it, and the result is very good," said the village chief.
"Oh? I didn't expect the village chief to be a well-read man. I have read some, but not much."
While they were talking, the villager who poured tea came back and placed two bowls of hot tea in front of them.
"Have some tea first, and then we'll discuss it when the person arrives," said the village chief.
"Thank you, village chief."
The man picked up the teacup and smelled it. "Hmm, it smells really good. It's good tea."
"We grow it ourselves." The village chief said with a smile.
The man took a sip and raised his brows, "Junior sister, try it, it's really good, with a light fragrance."
Under the gaze of the village chief and others, the two of them drank tea happily. As they drank, something went wrong.
"Hey, Junior Sister, do you feel a little dizzy?"
"Brother, how did you become two?"
They looked at the village chief and found that his smiling face had changed into several and was spinning in circles.
Bang! Bang! He fell headfirst onto the table.
Bang! The door opened.
The dark-skinned butcher Liu walked in and asked, "Village chief, are you killing pigs again?"
The village chief hummed expressionlessly.
"Hey! I'm in for another treat."
…
A few days later.
A Taoist priest in a Taoist robe appeared at the entrance of the village and also looked up at the plaque.
"Changsheng Village, what a big tone."
