Chapter 174 Another Fake Taoist Priest
Chapter 174 Another Fake Taoist Priest
Inside the Bai Ze chariot, Li Qing, Miss Duan, and the Four Fiends sat around a table.
On the table was a tattered map.
The fourth sister had already removed the black cloth that had been covering her body, revealing a face and figure full of exotic charm to Li Qing. Her skin had a healthy wheat color and exuded a unique and captivating allure.
Fourth Sister pointed to a place on the map and said, "Yesterday, we received a bounty, saying that a fish demon appeared in a place called Shuita Village and ate a man in the water. Now Shuita Village is offering a reward to find an exorcist to get rid of the fish demon."
Water Tower Village, Fish Demon...
Upon hearing these two keywords, Li Qing knew that he had no choice but to go to Shuita Village, where the fish demon Sha Wujing from the mission was located.
"We're not far from Water Tower Village right now, Chief, should we go over and collect the bounty for exorcising the demon?"
"Go! Of course I'll go! Dealing with such a small fish demon is a piece of cake!" Miss Duan said with a wave of her hand, full of pride.
“Yes, we must go to Shuita Village. I have a feeling we’ll encounter something interesting there.”
“Since Young Master Li has other opinions, let’s not delay and set off now!” Miss Duan put her hands on her hips and nodded, saying, “Fourth Sister, quickly tell Da Sha and the others to pack their things.”
"Yes, village chief!"
......
Inside the power compartment of the Bai Ze chariot, the Three Fiends sat on the ground, with a leather airbag in front of them. Two air tubes on the airbag were connected to the Three Fiends' mouth and the windmill above the power compartment, respectively.
Meanwhile, the two evil spirits kept pounding on the airbag.
As the airbags continuously inflate and contract, they provide a constant source of power to the vehicle.
Li Qing marveled at the scene, thinking how the world was full of quirky and unpredictable aspects, and how the power provided by the airbag was completely contrary to science.
These three scoundrels have lungs that are practically made of iron!
Seeing that Li Qing seemed very interested in her chariot, Miss Duan walked over, put her hand on Li Qing's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Isn't my Bai Ze chariot amazing?"
"With my Ironblood System, I can drive this massive chariot without needing oxen or horses, and it's even faster than a horse-drawn carriage!"
"It's alright. They call it the Iron Blood System, but I think it's basically just driven by manpower. If your men run out of strength, the tanks won't be able to move."
“I have seen chariots that can be driven without human power, and those chariots are much more powerful than your Bai Ze chariot.”
"..."
Miss Duan had hoped that this Western-made chariot would impress Li Qing, but to her surprise, Li Qing showed no sign of surprise, which immediately made her feel bored.
"Tch, what a buzzkill, I'm not talking to you anymore."
Miss Duan stepped out of the engine room and shouted towards the top of the tank: "Five Fiends, maintain control of the direction and advance towards Water Tower Village!"
"Yes, Chieftain!"
......
at the same time.
Shuita Village.
On a wooden platform built on the lake, many residents of Shuita Village gathered and watched the scene ahead.
An incense table was placed on the platform, and three young Taoist boys dressed in Taoist robes were dancing and gesturing wildly, while residents were playing gongs and drums nearby.
At the same time, a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist crown and robe rowed a small boat to the middle of the lake. Once the boat was stable, the priest drew a peach wood sword from his back, closed his eyes, and began to wield the sword.
He brandished the peach wood sword in his hand while chanting incantations towards the lake.
A few breaths later, the Taoist opened his eyes, picked up a clay bomb with a yellow talisman attached to it from the cabin, lit the fuse, and threw it into the lake.
With a loud shout from the Taoist priest.
There was a loud bang!
The landmine exploded in the lake, splashing water several meters high.
Slowly, a huge manta ray floated up from the lake, its white belly turned up.
The manta ray that floated to the surface immediately attracted the attention of the onlookers.
Seeing this, they all assumed that the Taoist priest had used magic to kill the fish demon in the lake, and stared at the "fish demon" in shock.
The residents of Shuita Village were shocked and then overjoyed when they saw the Taoist priest eliminate the fish demon in the lake.
After the fish demon was eliminated, they no longer had to live in fear every day. Because of the fish demon's mischief in the lake, the residents of the entire Shuita Village had not dared to go out fishing for several days, which had caused them great trouble. They all relied on fishing to make a living.
As the saying goes, "Those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water."
The villagers of Shuita Village have always made a living by fishing. Now that the fish demon has been eliminated, everyone can finally return to a normal life.
"Quickly! Bring up the fish demon's corpse!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Quickly catch it!"
As two angry roars rang out, several strong young men in the noisy crowd stood up abruptly, grabbed a large fishing net without saying a word, and ran towards the lake.
Upon arriving at the lake, the group did not hesitate and jumped directly onto the small fishing boat that had been prepared in advance.
As the fishing boat approached the fish demon's corpse, the young man in the lead gripped the fishing net tightly with both hands and then quickly hurled it at the fish demon's corpse.
In the blink of an eye, the fish demon's corpse was firmly covered by the fishing net.
Seeing this, the other young men quickly got to work together and dragged the fish demon's corpse back.
Once the fish demon's corpse was successfully dragged back to the shore, quick-thinking residents immediately found ropes and hoisted the fish demon's corpse up.
......
A huge fortress built on the water appeared before the Five Fiends, and the Bai Ze chariot stopped in front of a small road.
The road ahead was too narrow for the tanks to pass through, so they had to stop here.
Wu Sha left the driver's seat and shouted into the chariot, "Chief! We've arrived at Water Tower Village!"
"Understood. You five wait inside the chariot. Young Master Li and I are heading to Water Tower Village to exorcise the demon!"
......
On Shuita Village, the Taoist priest who killed the "fish demon" was greeted with praise and flattery from the residents as soon as he returned to shore.
"Taoist Master, you are truly a deity descended to earth! You so easily eliminated the fish demon that had plagued our village for so long!"
"Exactly! The Taoist priest is truly amazing..."
"Not at all, you flatter us. Exorcising demons and monsters is our duty as cultivators, there's no need for such formalities!"
The Taoist priest spoke modestly, but he couldn't hide the smug look on his face.
"Thank you so much, Daoist Master!"
"Here is a small amount of silver, and two thousand-year-old salted fish. Please accept them, Daoist!"
At this moment, the village chief of Shuita Village came over with a bamboo basket full of silver coins. He also picked up two salted fish from another bamboo basket, placed them on the silver coins, and handed them to the Taoist priest.
