When I was a Taoist

Chapter 33
After the black shadow remained silent, Fanchen and I had the courage to walk over and take off the mask covering his head.Taking a closer look, we were all shocked to find that the black shadow under the mask turned out to be a Taoist priest with a stick.

"I didn't expect it was really him." Fan Chen sighed. In fact, we were all a little skeptical, because he was very excited after learning that we had a way to protect the eyes.But there was no evidence, so the trap was set.

"He ended up on the road of no return, and no one else is to blame for this end."

Mochizuki shook his head, because of years of friendship, he didn't completely break up his soul.But we all know that the man behind the scenes will definitely not let him go.

The Taoist priest holding the stick was buried overnight, and the village head told everyone the news the next day.After seeing our strength clearly, everyone finally chose to believe in us, and expressed that they would obey our arrangement unconditionally.

For the next two days, Fan Chen and I have been busy building the real formation.Because the formation is too complicated, and Fanchen is only half-knowledgeable, the two of us studied for two full days before completing this formation.

In the process, a bearded Taoist priest caught my attention.Ever since the Taoist priest with a stick happened, he seemed to regard them as idols, bringing us tea and water, and helping us place materials, as if we were the predecessors.We couldn't evade it several times, and we could only acquiesce in his behavior.

"The next thing is to see tonight."

Seeing the completed formation, Fan Chen patted the dust on his body, and said with emotion: "Whether Miwu Village can escape this catastrophe depends on whether the formation can function normally tonight."

But at this time, I didn't pay attention to Fan Chen's words, and my eyes swept around uneasily.Seeing my uneasy look, Fan Chen asked curiously: "What's wrong with you, do you think something is wrong?"

After hesitating for a moment, I nodded and said truthfully: "I don't know why, I always feel that someone is watching us from the dark. Even if the Taoist priest with the stick left, this feeling has not disappeared, but it has become more and more obvious." .”

Fan Chen took a look around, then patted me on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't scare yourself. You are so cowardly, how can you catch ghosts and subdue demons in the future."

I rolled my eyes and said nothing.But I know that my intuition is rarely wrong, and I vaguely feel that the Taoist priest holding the stick may be just a dead ghost.

This time the village chief and all the Taoist priests gathered together, quietly waiting for the activation of the zero-point formation.In this environment, even if there are traitors, it is impossible to succeed, so my heart is a little relieved.

The village chief stroked his beard and said with emotion: "If it wasn't for the mortal Taoist and Dazhi this time, I am afraid that Miwu Village would really be doomed. When this matter is over, I must thank you very much."

Taoist Mochizuki also nodded, and said gratifiedly: "I didn't expect that Xuanyuan's eyes are still so vicious, and he found such a talented apprentice. The ambition is also good, and the master must not be mediocre. You two must have a bright future in the future." "

At this time, everyone was immersed in joy, and seemed to think that the disaster in Misty Village would definitely be resolved.But the closer to zero, the more tense my heart became, as if a big hand was holding my heart tightly, making it difficult to breathe smoothly.

Fan Chen noticed my strangeness, frowned and asked softly: "What's going on with you today, your face has been so ugly."

I opened my mouth, but finally shook my head and said nothing.After all, this is just my own intuition. If nothing happens, it will make everyone nervous.

The moment of zero o'clock finally arrived.Fan Chen stood up, pinched his fingers with both hands, and found out a few spells like magic, ignited them and threw them towards the five soul-fixing stakes.Seeing this, everyone hurried out of the way, and then nervously waited for the formation to open.

The ignited spells landed on the soul-fixing piles respectively, and as the scorching flames burned, the imaginary light of the formation did not appear.Seeing this scene, my heart thumped and completely sank to the bottom of the valley.

And Fan Chen was also full of disbelief, and couldn't figure out why the formation didn't respond.

Since we turned our backs to everyone, everyone couldn't see the faces of the two of us, and thought it was because the formation hadn't been activated yet.

As the flame on the soul-fixing pile was extinguished, the formation was still not activated.At this time, the Taoist priests also discovered the abnormality, and began to discuss it.

"Why didn't the formation start, is there something wrong?"

"I don't think they are sure about it, it's just grandstanding!"

All of a sudden, the people who originally respected us turned their backs one after another, and once again turned against us.Mochizuki and the village chief also looked astonished and helpless, because the development of the matter has far exceeded their expectations.

"Impossible, there must be something wrong!"

Fan Chen ran directly to a soul-fixing stake, picked up the black powder on the ground with his fingers and sniffed it.Immediately afterwards, his face changed drastically, and he kicked the soul-fixing stake flying, and shouted angrily: "Dazhi, our materials have been exchanged!"

Hearing this, I also twisted the powder and smelled it.I was stunned to find that the materials we had exhausted our brains to configure were replaced by charcoal ashes at some point.

Since Fanchen bought the materials back, these things have never left us, and there is no chance for others to exchange them.No matter how hard we try, we never know when things are swapped.

At this time, the village head and Taoist Wangyue came over, and after learning the reason of the matter, they were also puzzled: "You have been staying here all this time, who can secretly exchange the materials?"

That's right, we've been busy arranging formations for the past two days, and no one will switch packages under our noses, and we won't be suspected by us...

When I thought of this, a figure suddenly flashed in my mind, and I hurriedly said: "It's the beard! He has been helping me and Fan Chen for the past two days, only he can have the opportunity to exchange materials!"

"Hehe, although you still found out, my goal has been achieved."

At some point, the bearded man stood on the roof not far away, looking down at us condescendingly.

"I've been thinking about your identity for the past few days, because among these Taoist priests, you are the only one I don't know." Mochizuki looked at the bearded beard coldly, and said, "If I guess correctly, you are the real one behind the scenes." Black Hand, the Taoist priest holding the stick is just your scapegoat."

"Hehe, this guy met me on the road, and he looked a little like me, so he killed him." The bearded man smiled faintly, as if he had done a trivial thing.
