Section 222, Arousing Public Indignation [Part 1]
As soon as the shopkeeper said the words, the housekeeper immediately became troubled, but he could not refuse the master's words. If he was beaten by the master, wouldn't he betray him?
After returning home, the housekeeper told everyone what the master said. After hearing this, everyone looked sad and angry. If they went out to find someone, they would definitely not be able to eat. They had two porridge meals a day and could not see rice grains, which made them unable to eat enough. Now they are not given food directly, so it is impossible for them to not be angry.
"Butler, the master can't treat us like this! If this continues, we will starve to death. We have to go to the master to argue with him."
"Everyone, don't go, what kind of character is the master? I think everyone understands that if you go, the master will definitely beat you up. If you are beaten at that time, you will continue to go out to find the Taoist priest to come back. Why bother?"
"But we can't always be like this! Butler, please be fine, help us!"
The servants all begged, and the butler was indescribable at this time. Although he was a small butler in the mansion, he had no practical power at all and was useless.
"I also want to plead with the master, but you also know that I am the same as you in front of the master. Although as a housekeeper, I have no power at all. For any big and small things, I don't report to the master to make a decision first. I am the same as you. If I can't find a Taoist priest who can catch ghosts, I will go hungry."
"Butler, what should we do? If we can't find it, wouldn't we all go hungry?"
"Yes, butler, it's really not OK to continue like this."
"Otherwise, we all gather together. When we find the Taoist priest, we will receive the merits together, so that everyone can have a meal."
The housekeeper was kind-hearted, and he couldn't bear to see someone hungry. Although he ate half full every day, it was much better than eating nothing.
"This method is really good, but we must all be careful. Don't be discovered by the master, otherwise we will all be bad. The master's temperament will probably be punished together by that time."
"No, so after you go out, everyone pretends to disperse, and then wait until the entrance of the town, and we will meet again. Okay, let's go! The master is still waiting outside. If he is anxious, that would be bad."
The butler reminded everyone a few more words, and then took the people out. Seeing that the servants had come over, the shopkeeper didn't say anything, and asked everyone to disperse to find the Taoist priest. Because the shopkeeper ran for a long time, he went back to his room to rest first, and ordered the butler to take the Taoist priest back.
After leaving the house, the housekeeper went to the entrance of the town to meet everyone. Everyone gathered together, but now they were also confused. They all lived in this town, so they didn't know where there were any real Taoist priests. Apart from Liu Shoucai, they really couldn't think of anyone else.
"What should we do? Where are we going? In this town, only Master Liu and his group are the ones who really know how to catch ghosts. I really don't know others. I know a lot of fake Taoist priests, but that doesn't work! The master wants those who can really catch ghosts, except Master Liu, there are no one else!"
After everyone gathered together, they started to talk. They didn't want to run around blindly, as it would not only waste time but also energy. If they couldn't take it back, they would probably suffer all the Taoist priests.
"Why don't we go and ask Master Liu and the others for help! Maybe Master Liu and the others think that we are pitiful, so they will help us once. What do you think?"
"No, the master took Liu Shoucai's things and refused to pay back, and he didn't give him the salary for catching ghosts. How could Master Liu be willing to help? I think he'd better go find someone else!"
The housekeeper knew that his master was taking some fun, so he refused everyone's request in one go.
"This is not possible, that is not possible, so what should we do? Butler, you give us an idea! It's getting late and we have no time."
"Everyone calm down first and let me think about it carefully."
The butler's head was already starting to hurt at this time. He not only had to consider his own interests, but also the interests of everyone. Now that things are in a big way, he naturally has to show his style as a butler. Otherwise, who will still be convinced in the future? Even if there is no real power in front of the shopkeeper, the butler still has the right to speak in front of the servants.
"Yes, let's go to Lin Town. There is a Tianshi in Lin Town. I heard that I had conquered the vixen back then. Let's go and beg him together. Maybe we are lucky and can really bring the Tianshi back."
"Will that Tianshi Master behave like the old Taoist priest last night, all fake?"
"No, although that Tianshi has a weird temper, he has real skills. I heard a butler mention this person at the beginning, saying that he had really caught a vixen, and even a vixen can catch it. The Tianshi must have the ability."
"No further ado, let's go to the Heavenly Master now! No matter whether it can succeed or not, you have to try it. It's much better than standing here without doing anything."
"Yes, then let's go to Lin Town!"
After they had a goal, everyone started to set out towards Lin Town. After walking for about an hour, everyone finally arrived at Lin Town. After asking where the master lived, the butler and the others immediately ran towards that direction.
"Is it just here? Why is it so messy? Will you find the wrong place?"
When everyone stood in front of a broken thatched hut, they all looked at each other, because it was hard for everyone to imagine that this was where the master lived.
"Those people just said that it's here, there is only one family here. It's probably eight or ninety. Let's go in and ask first!"
The housekeeper was unsure at this time, but he could only bite the bullet and ask. He was still fantasizing about finding the wrong place, but when they walked in, they saw a middle-aged man dressed in a celestial master sitting in the yard drinking tea.
"Is this Zhang Tianshi's house?"
"You are blind? Can't you see me? Can you have anyone else here besides me? What are you here to do with me?"
After hearing the reply from Master Zhang Tian in front of him, everyone's hearts were cold. The person in front of him was so sloppy that he had no taste of a master. He was even worse than the fake Taoist priest last night. At this time, everyone felt like they were deceived.
"Hey, when you ask you, why are they all mute? Do you see that I don't look like a celestial master like this? To be honest, I am not the kind of greedy person. I never charge money to catch ghosts and demons, so my family is naturally a little difficult, but you can't underestimate this celestial master for this."
Master Zhang Tian was already used to the expressions of those people. People often saw him showing that expression, so he was no longer surprised. After hearing Master Zhang Tian’s words, the housekeepers all became more energetic. There were even ghost hunting masters who didn’t charge money. That was really too cheap for them.
"Tianshi, can you help us, right? We are really desperate this time..."
The housekeeper then told Zhang Tianshi about the shopkeeper. After hearing this, Zhang Tianshi immediately opened his eyes wide. What he hated the most was the kind of treacherous and hateful people. The pawnshop owner had already made him deeply disgusted. At this time, he also wanted to help these poor servants, but he also wanted to teach the pawnshop owner a lesson so that the pawnshop owner would still be a snob after he left.
"I can help you, and I can also help you teach your boss a lesson, but you have to help me do something first and then I will help you."
"Tianshi, just say what you need us to do! We all promise you."
The housekeeper and the others had already identified Master Zhang Tian, so they immediately started to shout. After Master Zhang Tian calmed everyone, he said: "What I asked you to do is not difficult. When the ghost of Erlangzi appeared in the evening, you collectively asked your boss to sell his body contract. When he gave you all the contract, I will help catch the ghosts. In this way, you can all be freed and teach the hateful boss a good lesson."
"Okay, we all promised you, it's all about us, so we naturally agreed."
After hearing Master Zhang’s request, the housekeeper was very happy. He did not expect that Master Zhang’s request was to help them, so how could everyone not be excited?
After Master Zhang returned to the room and packed up his things, he followed the butler and the others to the pawnshop owner's house. The pawnshop owner was getting up at this time to plan to have a meal when he saw the butler and the others back.
Because Master Zhang specially dressed up when he came, the pawnshop owner did not dislike him because of his sloppyness. The housekeeper said as everyone agreed upon when he came. The pawnshop owner immediately smiled and invited Master Zhang to have a meal.
After all the delicious and delicious food were served, Zhang Tianshi was not polite, and the pawnshop owner naturally had to accompany him. The housekeeper returned to the kitchen to eat their servant's meal. Although they still couldn't see the rice porridge, everyone had a very happy meal. Now they were waiting for the evening show to arrive.
As night fell, Liu Shoucai and his friends saw that the pawnshop owner still had not come, and they all showed doubts. According to the pace of the development of the matter, the pawnshop owner should come to find them. Why did they leave without the next article? Could it be that he found another Taoist priest?
When Liu Shoucai thought of this, he couldn't sit still and quickly went to Guigusong to discuss: "Brother Guigu, do you think that Zhao Pipi really doesn't plan to catch ghosts with us?"
"I think it's like this. I guess he found a cheaper person like last night. He probably died and wouldn't come to us to take action."
"That Zhao Baipi, aren't you really afraid of death? No, I want to go and see the situation. Brother Guigu, please go with me! If he really finds another Taoist priest to come over, then we will take the opportunity to teach him a lesson, so that he will really think that our things are so easy to get."
"Well, that's right, let's go!"
Guigusong also wanted to see the fun, so after listening to Liu Shoucai's words, he followed Zhao Baipi's house. Like last night, they had been hiding their bodies, so that they could avoid embarrassment for everyone.
"It seems that Zhao Paipi is really capable. The Taoist priest has two brushes, and I can sense the spiritual energy in his body. Although he is not a very powerful character, it is enough to deal with Erlangzi's soul."
"Brother Liu, do you know who that Taoist priest is?"
When Guigusong saw Master Zhang, he immediately laughed. He was so familiar with that person. If he had known that he had come here, he should have gone to find him first.
"How could I know, do you know who he is?"
"Oh! Speaking of which, I am still acquainted him. He once went to find my father to become a disciple, but he did not complete the conditions my father had provided, so he was driven away by my father. Later, he became a sorcerer in the world and then learned his skills. I had a few times in the past few years, and later we became friends who appreciate each other. But he was determined to catch monsters and eliminate demons, so he often ran around. Therefore, we have seen less in the past two years, but we didn't expect to meet him again here."
"So that's it, then this person's character should be good, otherwise you won't treat him as a friend. It seems that there should be one more person in our camp!"
Liu Shoucai smiled. Master Zhang was a friend of Gui Gusong, so he was naturally his friend, so Liu Shoucai had already made up his mind. After Master Zhang helped Zhao Baipi solve his confusion, he would go to talk to Master Zhang.
"Let's talk about it then! I don't know what he plans now. If he still likes to run around, it will be impossible for us to let him join the group."
"That's right, don't worry, let's talk to him face to face later!"
After Liu Shoucai finished speaking, he stopped talking because Master Zhang Tian had already started to do the trick, but he was not doing the trick of eliminating ghosts, but calling souls.
"It's strange, why did that guy catch his soul? Wasn't he trying to destroy Erlangzi's soul?"
After seeing Master Zhang's behavior, Liu Shoucai was first surprised, and Gui Gusong was also full of doubts. After all, they did not see the agreement between the butler and Zhang Tianshi, so they were not aware of this matter, and the butler and the others understood it very well.
"It seems that Lao Zhang doesn't want to really help Zhao peel it. Now we have a chance to watch it. Don't look at Lao Zhang's honest and honest look, but he is actually black-hearted. If you play with someone, it's simply a fatal blow."
"It seems that you must have been teased by him at the beginning! Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that. Brother Guigu, tell me what you were doing back then!"
The prelude was not very interesting, so Liu Shoucai started to talk to Gui Gusong in order to kill some time. When the good show came out, it would not be too late for him to watch it again.
"There are no fun things in the world. They are all common things. There is nothing to say. OK, so you can stop talking and continue watching the show."
Guigusong was embarrassed by Liu Shoucai's questioning. When he thought of the embarrassing things back then, Guigusong wanted to get into the cracks in the ground. But Liu Shoucai liked to mock himself. How could he say those embarrassing things back then?
"Brother Guigu, you are not righteous! I won't say anything, I'll ask Master Zhang later."
Liu Shoucai smiled. Looking at Gui Gusong's expression, he knew that there must be nothing good. However, the more Gui Gusong didn't say it, he wanted to know the reason. Seeing that Liu Shoucai was so cunning, Gui Gusong knew that he would definitely ask Master Zhang Tian himself.
Suddenly, Guigusong felt that he had dug a deep pit for himself, and the feeling of being killed by himself suddenly arose. Just when Guigusong was depressed, the sky became gloomy and made a big fuss. Erlangzi's soul immediately appeared in front of everyone.
Because Zhao Pipi was secretly tearful, he suddenly saw Erlangzi's soul, who was still confused at this time.
"Erlanzi is out, Master Zhang, please deal with him soon, hurry up..."
After seeing Erlangzi's soul, Zhao Baipi was so scared that he immediately started yelling. Erlangzi was awakened by Zhao Baipi's roar.
"Zhao Pipi, you dare to lie to me. You actually want to find a Taoist priest to destroy me. Let's see how I kill you today..."
Erlangzi said that, and ran towards Zhao Baipi, who was so scared that Zhao Baipi was hiding into the crowd crying and calling for his parents. However, Erlangzi seemed to recognize him, but he kept chasing him behind him. Zhao Baipi suddenly ran around yelling, and everyone was full of confusion.
"Butler, the master shouldn't be possessed by evil spirits, right? Why do you look like that?"
"I don't know, we can just watch it, don't meddle in other people's business."
The butler and the others did not cry or open the eyes of the sky, so they could not see the Lonely, so they were so calm.
Zhao Baipi ran for a while, but when he saw Erlangzi refused to let him go, and the butler and the others stood aside without moving, he immediately felt confused.
"Butler, what are you doing there? Didn't you see Erlangzi coming? Why don't you come here and protect me?"
"Master, we didn't see anything at all! Where is Erlangzi?"
The housekeeper looked at Zhao Baopi with confusion. Although he guessed in his heart that it must be the one who made the matter by Master Zhang Tian, he could only pretend to be ignorant of anything. For the sake of their own contract, he could only cooperate in the show.
"Didn't you see it?"
"Master, we didn't see anything! I saw you crying, shouting and running around in the yard alone, and I thought what's wrong with you..."
"Erlangzi, why are you looking for me only? Master Zhang Tian, please help me quickly! Why is he looking for me only?"
Chapter completed!
