But Father Wu and his companions firmly believed that God would bless them, and they also firmly believed that under the light of God, all evil spirits would be wiped out.

They said they had a sacred mission and must defend the church and fight the evil to the end in order to demonstrate God's prestige.

I show off your master! !

This bunch of psychopaths who don’t care about their lives!!

"Master, if they won't leave, what should we do?!"

Jiale scratched his head, not knowing what to do.

"If they don't leave, then they will die!!"

Taoist Simu went back angrily. At this point, he had done all he could.

These foreign monks are stubborn and are seeking their own death.

He can no longer control it.

Qiu Sheng and the others looked at each other, quickly followed, and no longer paid attention to what was happening in the church.

The death in the church caused a sensation in the town.

The people have been privately discussing the responsibility for reopening the church, and the criticism is directed at the wealthy gentry who supported the reopening of the church at the village meeting that day.

The wealthy were under tremendous pressure. If a major incident really happened in the church, they would likely be held responsible and lose their reputation among the people.

This is not worth it for them.

After all, Jiuquan Town is their foundation and their base.

They neither want any problems to arise in Jiuquan Town nor do they want to arouse public resentment and create some unspeakable things.

So they all rushed to find Mayor Ye to discuss a solution to this problem.

The church was opened at the insistence of Mayor Ye's son, David.

Now that something has happened, it is natural that Mayor Ye and his son should bear the responsibility.

"Mayor, the people below are very dissatisfied. What do you think we should do about this?"

The wealthy gentry gathered at Mayor Ye's house and asked him to give an explanation.

Mayor Ye picked up a peeled garlic from the plate and put it into his mouth to chew. When he heard the questions from the crowd, he opened his mouth and blew out a mouthful of garlic smell, which made it almost impossible for everyone to open their eyes.

Some people like to chew betel nuts, some people like to eat melon seeds, but he only likes to chew garlic because he likes the pungent taste of garlic.

"Everyone, don't panic. It's just one person who died. It's not a big deal. People die in this town every day. Does this mean anything?"

Mayor Ye reached out and picked up another clove of garlic. He said logically, "In my opinion, these missionaries traveled thousands of miles from abroad to preach in our town. They might not be acclimatized to the local climate, which is why they have health problems."

"This is a very common occurrence."

"Mayor Ye, what you said does make sense."

The wealthy men nodded in agreement, as acclimatization is always a common problem when traveling far away.

"That being said, the people below are ignorant. Furthermore, Uncle Jiu's junior brother previously said something in public. They might believe deep down that the missionary's death is related to the evil of the church. If we can't dispel this suspicion, I'm afraid their resentment towards us will only grow until it's out of control."

Once suspicion arises, a crime is established.

In the absence of sufficient information, people will make judgments based on their own biases, intuition or emotions.

At this time, the people will only believe their own ideas, rather than the excuses and refutations of the upper class.

Therefore, if the public's suspicions cannot be dispelled in time, then as the suspicions deepen, the situation may become uncontrollable.

"Uncles, don't worry. I've thought about this problem a long time ago."

At this time, David, who had been listening, smiled confidently and said, "I know a Taoist priest who is very famous in the province. We can just ask him to perform a ritual in the church in front of the public, and then we can get away with it and dispel the public's suspicions."

People suspected that the church was evil, so they asked Taoist priests to perform rituals to reassure them.

"That makes sense!!"

The wealthy gentry breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Mayor Ye and his son had a corresponding response plan.

Mayor Ye saw the wealthy gentry off and asked his son with a hint of concern, "David, is that Dragon Slayer you mentioned reliable?"

"Dad, don't worry. Taoist Dragon Slayer has been in this business for so many years. If he wasn't so capable, he would have been wiped out long ago."

David lit a cigar and said with a smile, "Besides, it's just a death in the church. It's not a big deal."

"Dad, let me tell you, as long as Taoist Tulong delivers that batch of goods, we will make a lot of money."

Mayor Ye said with some concern: "After all, this is drug trafficking, so we should be cautious. If it gets out, our whole family will be in danger."

"Wealth and honor are achieved through risk, so what's there to be afraid of?" David said nonchalantly, "We can use the church as cover and buy Fatty Zhao's winery to use as a warehouse. No one will be able to find us."

The reason why he was so active in helping Father Wu and others reopen the church was not because he believed in God, but simply because he wanted to use the church as a cover for his drug dealing.

At the same time, he planned to buy Fatty Zhao's winery to use as a drug warehouse.

Several people died in Zhao Pangzi's winery because of a haunting, and the residents of the town have long avoided this place.

Normally, no one would go to the winery for no reason, which is very helpful for maintaining confidentiality.

Originally his plan was perfect, but with the appearance of Taoist Simu and his group, the situation changed.

The red-clad female ghost in the winery was caught, and something happened in the church.

This resulted in some accidents at the two most important strongholds in his plan.

So now he is extremely angry towards Taoist Simu and his gang.

When Taoist Tulong arrives, he will not let Taoist Simu and the others go easily.

That was when David was thinking about slaying the dragon.

Tulong had already entered Jiuquan Town with his corpse-driving team under the cover of night.

"The Yin people are on the way, the Yang people are out of the way!!"

Accompanied by a shout, Tulong casually scattered a handful of paper money, glanced at the quiet Jiuquan Town, shook the soul-catching bell, and led the corpse-driving team into the town.

"Corpse Driving Team!?"

Anne, who was about to go to sleep, heard shouting on the street and could not help but open the window to check. She saw a group of zombies wearing funeral clothes in the style of Qing Dynasty official uniforms jumping forward on the street.

At this moment, a zombie in the zombie team seemed to notice Annie's presence. Looking at the beautiful Annie in pajamas, he immediately showed a pig-like look and whistled excitedly.

Annie looked at the seemingly conscious zombie in surprise.

However, this situation soon ended. The corpse driver who led the team saw the troublesome zombie, frowned, stepped forward and slapped it on the forehead, signaling it to return to the team.

Tulong glanced at Anne expressionlessly, then continued to shake the soul-calling bell and led the corpse-driving team on the road. Judging from the direction they were heading, it should be an open space in the backyard of the church.

Anne was secretly surprised, and her expression darkened when she thought about what had happened in the town during this period.

When the church opened in Jiuquan Town, she was deeply influenced by it as a child.

That’s why I chose to study abroad.

She had just returned from studying abroad and had already believed in God while she was abroad. She believed that God could save the world, so she actively brought the church into the town and actively raised funds to reopen the church.

Who would have thought that the reopening of the church would trigger a series of events.

It directly points out that some missionaries have died.

She finally realized that something was wrong. Could it be that the church's address was as problematic as Taoist Simu and the others had said?

She had been so troubled by this problem for the past two days that she missed Brother Wang's Mass.

Now she saw a strange group of corpse-driving team coming, which made her even more uneasy.

She thought about it for a long time, and finally put on her clothes, went downstairs and went to the dojo where Taoist Master Simu and the others were.

She felt that there was something seriously wrong with this corpse-driving team, so she wanted to ask for advice from professionals like Taoist Simu.

This time, when she felt confused, the first person she thought of was not God or Father Wu, but the unfamiliar Taoist Master Simu and others.

The death of Monk Wang caused her faith in God to waver for the first time.

She took advantage of the moonlight and went to the temple where Taoist Master Simu and his companions lived.

Soon, she crossed the street and arrived at the door of the dojo, and went straight up to knock on the door.

"who!?"

After a while, Wencai's vigilant voice came from inside.

Qiu Sheng and Jia Le are immersed in the test announced by Huang Dao, and are suffering all kinds of torture in their sleep.

"I'm Annie from the restaurant. Could you please open the door? I want to consult Taoist Simu!"

Anne's voice came from outside.

"It's that busty girl!!"

Wencai recognized Annie's voice immediately. He quickly woke up Qiusheng and Jiale, "Brother, Jiale, a beautiful woman is visiting us in the middle of the night."

"What!?"

Qiu Sheng and Jia Le were stunned.

As Wencai continued to tell their story, the two of them finally reacted, quickly got up, dressed, and notified Taoist Simu.

Wencai went to open the door and saw that it was indeed Annie outside. He was surprised and asked, "Why are you looking for us in the middle of the night?!"

"Did something happen in the church?!"

When Taoist Simu heard that Annie was coming, he subconsciously thought that something was wrong in the church, and hurriedly put on his clothes and came out.

Anne shook her head. "It's not about the church."

“Not a church!?”

Taoist Simu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't true.

"Come in and sit down!" He invited them in and asked Jiale to pour tea. "What's the urgent matter here in the middle of the night?"

"Just when I was about to go to bed, I saw a group of corpse-carrying teams coming onto the street."

"What's so strange about the corpse-driving team?"

Taoist Simu curled his lips. When he was driving corpses, he would hide during the day and come out at night for fear of scaring people.

Annie sat down and said curiously, "But there's something strange about this corpse-carrying team. I think those people seem very spiritual..." She thought for a moment, then pointed at Qiu Sheng and the others and said, "Well, when the people in the corpse-carrying team saw me, they acted just like they saw me, like a living person."

"A living person!?"

Taoist Simu was stunned for a moment, while Qiu Sheng and the others laughed dryly. It was not their fault. In that situation, which man could resist taking a look?

"Yes, like a living person."

Annie asked curiously, "Is it really possible that zombies have spirituality?"

"The ordinary zombies in the corpse-driving team are just dead bodies. They don't even have humanity, so how can they have spirituality!?"

Taoist Simu shook his head and pondered for a moment, "Perhaps this corpse-carrying team is not a real corpse-carrying team, but just a smuggling team using the name of corpse-carrying to do some sneaky things."

In fact, he was more inclined to say that this was a criminal gang that used corpses to transport drugs.

The phenomenon of using corpses to transport drugs is very common throughout Hunan Province, especially in western Hunan, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and many people use the name of driving corpses to do the work of transporting drugs.

He has been driving corpses for many years and knows a lot about this kind of thing.

"Smuggling team!?"

Annie was stunned. She had never expected there to be such a hidden secret.

She has been abroad for many years and lacks understanding of the domestic situation.

"Yes, they are most likely a smuggling gang pretending to be a corpse-driving team."

Taoist Simu nodded.

"If it's just a smuggling gang, then it's fine."

Anne breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Master, is this story about the church true or false?"

Taoist Simu rolled his eyes. "Nonsense! Why would I lie to you? I don't care if you want to preach or open a church, but you chose to reopen a church in the Three Evils Position. How is this different from stirring up a hornet's nest!?"

Anne was silent for a moment and then said, "I will try to persuade the priest to move them out of the church."

"Hey, you're the only one in this town who understands the stakes. The others are all obsessed and determined to fight that lousy church to the death."

Taoist Simu chuckled and praised Annie, then pulled out a yellow talisman from his wide sleeve and handed it to Annie. "The church is like a powder keg right now, ready to explode. The entire Jiuquan Town will then face disaster. I see you're quite sensible and can turn back from your mistakes. I'm leaving this amulet for your protection, so you don't get caught up in danger."
