CH 287

Li Huowang, leaning against the tree trunk, was lost in thought, as if pondering something. "Blind Chen, can you tell me again in detail what happened when you came here before?"

"After all, as a newcomer, I need to first understand the situation before making any plans. You know, our methods in Aojing come at a great cost with each use."

Blind Chen nodded in agreement, poking the rotten mud on the ground with his stick before slowly speaking. "Well, I took the job and came here to Ganyuan Village disguised as a fortune-teller. In the first few days, I touched many faces, but on the third day, something inside the wall came out and asked me to read its fortune!"

"They thought I was really blind and couldn't see anything, trying to fool me. But hey! My eyes are blind, but my ears are much better than others."

That night, I was alone in my room, but suddenly three voices were heard, without any footsteps.

"Where did they come from? They must have come out of the mud. These evil spirits even imitate human speech and ask me to read their bones."

"I touched them, the first time I touched the bones of evil spirits. You wouldn't believe it, but all three faces had a terrible death!"

"I picked up my stick and stabbed them. I killed one and injured another."

"Then, I thought to myself, since I helped the people of Ganyuan Village get rid of the evil spirits, they should at least invite me to dinner. But guess what? They not only didn't invite me, but also chased me out with hoes and poles!"

"Later, I realized that the people in this village were all bewitched by the evil spirits. If they don't get rid of them, they won't be able to live well."

"So, every night, I come to the village to do justice when they're all asleep."

"As you can see, they're slippery as eels. They even tried to ambush me, Blind Chen, but I saw through their plan."

After speaking for a long time, Blind Chen's mouth was dry. He squatted down and scooped water from a small puddle made by a cow's hoofprint to drink.

Feeling his throat slightly better, he turned his head in Li Huowang's direction and said, "Kid, have you been listening to me? Hurry up and come up with a plan."

Soon Li Huowang's voice came from the other side. "I'm listening, don't worry. I'm just thinking of a way to force them out."

"Well, hurry up. Next time, find a job closer to home. This road is too much trouble."

Blind Chen sat back on the mossy stone and took out a bag from behind, carefully wiping a mirror that looked like a gossip pattern before putting it back."Senior, I have an idea. What is the place where these mud ghosts go most often on normal days?"

"The Mud Bodhisattva Temple, I don't know why, but that's where they like to go the most."

"Let's go to the Mud Bodhisattva Temple first."

"We need to hurry. If it's dawn, those ignorant people will come and cause trouble. Killing or not killing will both be troublesome."

After Blind Chen finished speaking, he continuously tapped the ground with the pole in his hand and followed Li Huowang's footsteps back to the village.

There was no one in the village just now, and there was still no one in the village in the late night. On the paths between houses, only fireflies illuminated their way.

Suddenly, Blind Chen's expression became serious. He supported himself with his hands and listened carefully on the ground.

"Listen carefully, someone is coming. This sound is not right. I haven't heard it in the village before. There are four people in total, two men and two women. One of the men is very big and seems to be wearing armor!"

Li Huowang looked around and said with a serious face, "Four outsiders suddenly came in the middle of the night. They must be up to no good. I'll go and meet them."

Before Blind Chen could speak, Li Huowang rushed up.

Blind Chen didn't get up and continued to listen to the sounds on the ground. Gradually, he heard the four people turning and leaving the village.

"Senior, I'm back. I used an illusion to lead them away from Ganyuan Village." Li Huo said to the old blind man in front of him.

"Let's go, hurry up and finish the job and leave quickly. The more people there are, the more trouble there will be." Li Huowang nodded and quickly followed.

By the time it was two in the morning, the two had arrived in front of the Mud Bodhisattva Temple, but it was not very close, there was still an alley in between.

"This is as close as we can get. If you go further, you'll alert the mud ghosts. You were only noticed by them when you went in before."

After estimating the distance, Li Huowang took out a Dao bell from his pocket. "Senior, please bear with me. It might be a bit noisy later."

After speaking, Li Huowang immediately shook the bell, and the piercing sound was like a thunderbolt exploding in Ganyuan Village.

As Li Huowang shook his head vigorously, the eight Game Masters in front of him quickly split into eight.

Li Huowang reached down and picked up a piece of mud from the ground, and said to the eight Game Masters, "朄瑱昬！贽冄勰弢匰！！"

The Game Masters with various lines on their bodies quickly nodded and all disappeared into the ground.

Blind Chen couldn't hear anything that happened afterwards because the piercing sound completely surrounded him.

"Listen, this method of yours won't work! You've awakened everyone in the village!" He shouted towards the direction of the bell.

"Don't worry, Senior Chen! Although it's noisy, it will soon force them out!" Li Huowang held the Dao bell and shook it even louder.Blind Chen stumbled towards Li Huowang. As he arrived behind Li Huowang, he felt something on the ground and quickly bent down to pick it up.

In that moment of bending down, a cold light flashed and the bamboo pole in Blind Chen's hand stabbed towards Li Huowang's waist.

The move was extremely treacherous and almost soundless with the cover of Dao Ling.

However, just as the extremely thin pole was about to pierce through, Li Huowang's body inexplicably turned and the hilt of his sword behind him moved over, blocking the sharp tip.

Although it was blocked, the force was great enough to push Li Huowang several meters away.

At the same time, the lurking You Lao Ye slowly floated up from the ground, surrounding Blind Chen.

As Li Huowang, with his wide-open eyes, stood up and was about to say something in anger, the other party spoke first.

"Hmph! The Taoist sects that deceive beings! You bunch of frauds!! Do you really think that I, Blind Chen, would believe your ghost stories? I never asked for help, where did you come from, you useless savior!"
