I can bless thousands of magical powers.

"No, nothing weird!"

The old village chief seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He waved his hands hurriedly and said, "Master, there is nothing strange in this village. There is nothing strange at all."

"No."

Mo Huaian was a little depressed, so he had to say, "Then I won't bother you anymore."

When he was learning his skills in the mountain gate, he heard many stories about his predecessors and fellow disciples who fought demons and defended the way of righteousness.

I have always longed for it.

This time when he came out of the mountains to gain experience in the mortal world, Mo Huaian thought more than once about how he could slay the evil spirits, drive away the weirdness, and save innocent civilians from dire straits.

As a result, there is no opportunity at the moment.

It's really a bummer!

"Taoist Master, please stay!"

The old village chief said quickly, "My two lords, you have come a long way for a long time. It is almost dark. Why don't you rest at my house for a night and leave tomorrow morning?"

Mo Huaian subconsciously looked at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan nodded: "It's troublesome."

"No trouble."

The old village chief named Zhang Dashan wrinkled his face and said with a smile: "It is an honor for me to have you, Taoist priest and lord, visit my humble home."

He turned around and walked forward with the two villagers, while Mo Huaian followed a few steps behind, leading the horse.

Suddenly something doesn't feel right.

He raised his foot and looked down, and found that the cloud shoes he was wearing were covered with a thick layer of mud, and there was also some indescribable substance on them, and a foul smell filled his nose.

"Uh~"

Mo Huaian, who has a bit of a mysophobia, almost vomited!
It was evening and the light in the village was dim, so he didn't notice the condition of the road just now.

I accidentally stepped on a landmine.

Looking more closely, the muddy path leading to the village was filthy and there was no place to step.

Mo Huaian wanted to cry but had no tears.

I wanted to get back on the mount, but I was afraid that the dirt under my feet would rub against the horse.

For a moment, I was unable to advance or retreat.

Zhang Yuan, who was watching from the side, was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

In fact, he could understand Mo Huaian.

This young genius wizard was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He received the best education in the Taoist ancestral temple since he was a child and had the best resources. His life experience was no less impressive than any child of the powerful.

He had never seen the real world and could not imagine what kind of life the people at the bottom of society led.

In the eyes of this young man, his experience abroad must be full of stories and legends.

Mo Huaian had no idea about the filth and darkness of the mundane world.

This is undoubtedly the reason why Wei Long asked Zhang Yuan to be his protector - the worldly experience requires a guide like him.

Zhang Yuan reached into his bag and took out a pair of Taoist boots and handed them to Mo Huaian: "Take my pair instead."

He actually didn't have any spare shoes in his luggage.

The boots come from the stock in the storage space.

"Thank you!"

When Mo Huaian saw the brand new boots handed to him by Zhang Yuan, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty.

He took off one of his cloud shoes first, then stepped back onto his mount in the stirrup and took off the other shoe.

Finally, I put on new boots and breathed a sigh of relief.

Noticing Zhang Yuan's teasing gaze, Mo Huaian blushed: "Senior Brother..."

"fine."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "I understand. Let's go."

The two men rode their horses and followed the old village chief in front of them to the center of the village.

There is an ancestral hall in the core area of ​​this village, and the village chief's house is next to the ancestral hall. A stone-tiled house with a small courtyard is considered a top-notch mansion here!
The open space in front of the house was relatively flat and clean. Zhang Yuan and Mo Huaian got off their horses and tied the reins to the stone pillars beside the door.

At this time, many people in the neighborhood opened their doors and poked their heads out.

The villagers looked over here with curiosity and awe.

When they spotted the gray-fanged lynx lying next to the horses, they showed fear again.

No one dared to get close.

"My lords, please come in."

Zhang Dashan opened the gate and respectfully made an inviting gesture.

Although the old village chief's home can only be described as simple, it is still tidy. There is a wooden table in the hall and a portrait of Tianzun at the back.

After Mo Huaian came in, he bowed to the portrait first.

"Wife!"

The old village chief first asked the guests to sit down, and then instructed his wife: "We have distinguished guests. Go and boil some water, bring the dried fruits that were dried a few days ago, and ask Shitou's wife to prepare the food and kill two chickens!"

Zhang Dashan's family immediately got busy.

There was only a little girl with two buns on her hair, hiding behind the side door and secretly observing the guests.

Zhang Yuan thought she was cute, so he waved to her.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, but still walked over obediently and hid behind the old village chief again.

Then he quietly poked his head out and blinked his big eyes.

Zhang Dashan chuckled and said, "This is my little granddaughter. She just turned four this year."

"what?"

Mo Huaian's eyes flashed, and he said, "Father-in-law, can I test the root bone of your little granddaughter?"

"Test your root bone?"

Zhang Dashan was stunned: "Master, is there anything special about this?"

Mo Huaian explained: "I know a little bit about face reading, and I see that your granddaughter has a beautiful appearance, so I want to test her physiognomy to see if she has a connection with me."

The old village chief was not a dull person without any knowledge. He immediately understood what Mo Huaian meant and his face was filled with joy.

He quickly led the little girl behind him to Mo Huaian: “Master, just test it!”

The little girl didn't understand what was going on. She pouted her lips in fear, and two crystal tears welled up in her eyes.

It looks so pitiful!
Mo Huaian was at a loss: “Don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s okay.”

It would have been better if he didn't coax her. Once he coaxed her, the little girl opened her mouth and burst into tears: "Wow~"

Zhang Dashan was anxious: "Why are you crying?"

The old village chief raised his hand to hit him, but he couldn't bring himself to slap him.

Zhang Yuan, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he reached out and pulled the little girl over, stuffing a piece of candy into her mouth.

He had tested it before and found that as long as he concealed it properly, he would not be discovered when opening the storage space to store or retrieve items in front of others.

Of course, large items that go against common sense are definitely not allowed.

Gadgets are fine though.

The little girl, who had tasted the sweetness, stopped crying immediately. Although there were tears on her face, her expression was very happy.

Mo Huaian secretly wiped the sweat off his forehead, then took out a jade slip from his sleeve.

He made a hand gesture with his left hand and pointed his sword-like finger with his right hand, poking the little girl's forehead, heart and abdomen three times.

The next moment, the jade slip held in his hand emitted a faint light.

This scene made Zhang Dashan and his wife, who were also in the hall, hold their breath, dumbfounded and speechless.

After a while, the light of the jade slip dissipated.

Mo Huaian retracted his sword finger, gently stroked the surface of the jade slip with his left hand, and immediately showed a look of joy.

"The root bone in the armor!"

The young mage praised: "You are born with the seed of Tao!" (End of this chapter)
