I, White Snake, am not the crumbs of the world!

The two walked hand in hand, and soon came to the village at the foot of the mountain.

Tonight seemed a little out of the ordinary.

It was almost Haishi, and under normal circumstances, the villagers had already fallen asleep.

But not only did they not sleep tonight, but they gathered in an open space at the east end of the village.

A fire was lit in the middle of the open space, and the slightly dim light of the fire illuminated the faces around the fire, faces full of expectation and longing.

"What is this doing?"

Bai Li was a little confused.

She brought Su Qingyu closer, intending to take a look.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked when I saw it. It turned out that the villagers were discussing to remove the statue in her temple and replace it with other statues!

"According to my point of view, we should demolish the entire temple and rebuild it. It is obviously disrespectful to use the temple where other gods lived to live in for the Five Lucky Gods."

"It's easy to say, but how can you raise so much money in a short while, so let's use it first."

"That's right. In the past two years, there have been floods, droughts, and plagues. Everyone has no spare money. I think the Five Lucky Gods will understand us."

Bai Li looked at Su Qingyu who was hesitant to speak with embarrassment.

No.

She really didn't lie just now.

Although she has only one believer, the incense candles in her temple are never broken during festivals.

If this is not popular, then what is popular?

After being stared at by Su Qingyu for a long time, Bai Li had no choice but to turn around.

cough cough.

Five gods of good luck?

Have not heard.

Where did the little Mao God come from, to even want to rob your uncle Bai Li's temple? I think you are tired of work.

At this time, the people around the fire began to vote.

A very prestigious villager said: "Since it is a discussion, everyone's opinions must be considered. I am in favor of letting it go for a few years. How about you, who is in favor and who is against?"

Bai Li stood up directly.

"I object!"

Her voice was loud, but someone was louder, so loud that it completely drowned her voice.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see an old man in sixties walking towards him.

Bai Li recognized him.

When she left Cangshan that day, she passed this old man.

The old man was panting heavily, and he seemed to have just ran over. After adjusting his breathing, he immediately cursed.

"What are you doing, ah, you actually shouted to tear down the statue of the mountain god, do you still have a conscience, if not for the presence of the mountain god, our village would have been washed away by the flood 60 years ago!"

The prestigious villager stood up just now: "Uncle, we all remember the goodness of the Mountain God, but we also have to remember the goodness of the Five Lucky Gods. Plagues are everywhere these days. Thanks to the talisman water of the Five Lucky Gods, our village can survive. come over."

The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared: "You remember the Five Lucky Gods well, and you are going to tear down the statue of the mountain god?"

"There must be a place to put the statues of the Five Lucky Gods, and they can't be put together with the mountain gods..."

"Why can't it be?"

"The priest doesn't allow it."

The old man wanted to say something, but another villager next to him interrupted.

"Uncle, you always say that the mountain god is good, but in these years, the mountain god has never lowered anything. We... the Five Lucky Gods are different. He is a real spirit."

"Yeah yeah."

The surrounding villagers immediately talked about the deeds of the Five Lucky God Talisman Water curing diseases and saving lives.

The old man was trembling with anger: "The god who cares about believers asking for money can be a decent god, and so is the priest. He is not a decent person at first glance. Don't be obsessed with it!"

A villager hurriedly said, "Uncle, be careful with your words!"

Another villager's face changed drastically: "If the priest hears this and stops giving us water talismans, then our village will be over."

Seeing that these people were completely deaf, the old man could only shake his hands angrily.

"If you do this, you will get angry sooner or later!"

He turned away.

But instead of going home directly, he staggered towards the temple on the mountain.

"Let's follow."

Bai Li just felt awkward standing here, so she quickly dragged Su Qingyu away.

They followed the old man all the way.

When the old man came to the temple, he knelt on the cushion and faced the white snake statue.

Although he quarreled fiercely with those younger generations by the fire before, after arriving here, he immediately prayed to the mountain god not to punish those younger generations.

"They were only temporarily deceived, Lord Mountain God, I will try to expose the true face of that priest."

After making several bows in succession, the old man stood up tremblingly.

"Follow the past and have a look."

Bai Li pulled Su Qingyu to follow.

This time, the old man came to the outside of the largest room in the village, where the priests of the Five Lucky Gods lived.

A few days ago, a plague broke out in the village. When everyone was at a loss, the priest of the Five Lucky Gods suddenly appeared. He cured a patient with talisman water. After gaining the trust of the villagers, he began to publicize the Five Lucky Gods.

The effect of publicity was unexpectedly good.

Some villagers who usually dig and search are willing to donate their family wealth, just to get more blessings.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a problem, but no matter what the old man said, the villagers would not listen as if they were possessed.

After thinking about it, the problem can only be the priest.

"The statue of the mountain god cannot be demolished."

The old man walked to a window where the light was still leaking, and he leaned sideways, listening to the conversation inside.

There are two people inside.

One of them said: "There are still many people who are reluctant to take out all the money. They will not be given talisman water for two days, let them suffer, and then increase the dose for them, so that they will completely listen to us."

Another replied: "Okay... oh, someone is coming."

As soon as the voice fell, the window was pulled open.

A thin-looking man appeared behind the window, looking at the old man with a half-smile.

10 Manifestation

"Uncle, it's so late, what are you doing here?"

The person behind the window asked with a smile.

The old man huddled under the window couldn't speak, and looked older for a while.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents.

It is even more dangerous when it is the money of the wicked that is cut off.

"I... I was passing by, I just passed by."

After a long time, the old man finally squeezed out a word.

The man behind the window changed his previous gentle attitude and grabbed the old man's clothes.

"Old man, you are shameless, right? I wanted to get along with you calmly. I will treat your illnesses and you give me money, but you want to come here to make trouble, so don't blame me for being rude!"

His body was thin, but his strength was surprisingly great, and he directly lifted the old man into the air with one hand.

"!"

Hiding in the dark, Su Qingyu couldn't help but her eyes widened. She held down the sword at her waist, and was about to rush forward to save someone.

"go Go."

This time Bai Li didn't stop Su Qingyu.

The two people in the room are cultivated, but not high.

It is easy to deal with ordinary people, but it is a bit difficult to defeat Su Qingyu.

Bai Li felt that this was a good opportunity for Su Qingyu to gain experience, so she took the initiative to let Su Qingyu play.

Su Qingyu, who was affirmed, jumped out without saying a word.

"Let him go!"

Holding a long sword in his hand, Su Qingyu was aggressive.

After finally having a chance to perform, she is now full of confidence.

After all, she has survived even the ghost she fears the most, so how could she be afraid of two swindling little thieves.

The appearance of Su Qingyu still surprised the two people in the room.

But did not eat for too long.

They stood in front of the window, one fat and one thin, looked Su Qingyu up and down, and suddenly smiled: "The yellow-haired girl who hasn't even grown up is here to learn how to be a knight?"

Su Qingyu was furious.

Saying that I don't even have full hair, is it contemptuous of people?

I am Master's eldest disciple, and I will send you to the underworld with one blow of my sword.

The old man who was lifted up was flustered just now, but now that Su Qingyu appeared, his thoughts were no longer on him.

"Little girl, don't worry about me, run!"

Su Qingyu flicked the sword in his hand: "Old man, don't worry, I will rescue you soon."

The old man was very anxious: "Little girl, they..."

This time, before he finished speaking, he was slapped and coughed violently.

"Shut up, old man, if I didn't see that you still have some grease on your body, I would have killed you two days ago!"

The thin man glared at the old man viciously.

The old man struggled hard, but to no avail.

The more Su Qingyu watched, the more angry he became, bullying the old man, right?

"I fought with you!"

She made a gesture to step forward.

But the thin man suddenly grabbed the old man's neck: "If you dare to come over, I will kill him."

"How despicable!"

Su Qingyu didn't dare to move immediately.

Bai Li watched all this with great interest, she really wanted to see how Su Qingyu would respond.

She can't guarantee that she will always be by Su Qingyu's side, therefore, Su Qingyu must grow up on her own and cannot always rely on her.

Su Qingyu's eyes kept wandering between the fat and thin people.

After a while, she said: "You are here to ask for money, right? If you don't let the old man go, I'll go and tell the villagers what you did, so that you won't earn any money! "
