Chapter 272: Onlookers
Outside Wang's house.
Wang Lin and Zhang Guihua hurriedly ran over from the fields. They had just started working in the fields with farm tools not long ago when they suddenly discovered something strange in Hutougou. They were a little surprised at first but didn't take it seriously.
Until they found the location of the strange phenomenon, which seemed to be their home.
In their minds, they immediately remembered that when they just got up and were about to leave Wang's house, Taoist Xuanqing stopped them and gave each of them a wooden sign.
The words that were said during that time!
Wang Lin and Zhang Guihua raised their heads again and looked towards Hutougou - to be precise, the huge creature that appeared in the sky above their home looked like a giant turtle.
They immediately remembered that Taoist Xuanqing had said that he had successfully set up a formation in their home this morning. It was called the "Spirit Turtle Formation", a defensive formation specifically used to protect the safety of their Wang family.
At this time.
Suddenly, a giant turtle-like shape condensed in the sky above their Wang family. It was very likely that some bad guys broke into their house and caused trouble.
"Dongzhu, Ping'an, Dongzhu, Ping'an, they must be fine!"
Wang Lin and Zhang Guihua hurried as fast as they could and prayed silently.
"Brother Wang, Sister Zhang, what is going on in your family?"
Cheng Yong saw Wang Lin and Zhang Guihua rushing back and couldn't help asking, "Why is there a turtle above your house?"
at this time.
The Wang family's home was almost entirely surrounded by villagers from Hutougou and construction workers from the Luo family. Most of them had gotten up early in the morning to work when they suddenly saw the strange phenomenon above the Wang family and rushed over from the surrounding areas out of curiosity.
Whether it's farm work or any other work, there's plenty of time to do it, but it's lively, and if you don't come over to see it now, it will be gone later.
Then you can only listen to others bragging in front of you!
"Village chief, what you said is really harsh. What turtle? That's a spirit turtle. Taoist Xuanqing has set up a spirit turtle formation in our home to protect our safety!"
Wang Lin snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Brother Wang, Taoist Xuanqing has been so kind to your family!"
Cheng Yong said with envy.
Not to mention Cheng Yong, even the villagers from Hutougou who had come over to watch the fun and the construction workers at the Luojia construction site were filled with envy when they heard Wang Lin's words.
They had all heard about Taoist Xuanqing's deeds to some extent, and had also learned about the power of the formation from some gossip.
No one would have thought that Taoist Xuanqing would spend so much effort to set up a formation in the Wang family.
"That is……"
Wang Lin chuckled and was about to brag a little, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly realized what was happening and his face changed drastically. He said in panic, "Hurry up and leave!"
Only then did he remember that the Spirit Turtle Formation set up by Taoist Xuanqing in their house would suddenly take effect, and it was very likely that a bad guy or even a monster had broken into their house.
Although he was very worried about the safety of Dongzhu and Ping'an in their family, he knew in his heart that the monster that broke into their home, regardless of whether it had harmed Dongzhu and Ping'an or not, would be in trouble once it escaped from the Spirit Turtle Formation.
Seeing so many humans around is likely to lead to a bloody storm.
After all, they have been neighbors for many years. Although he was very dissatisfied with the actions of some people during this period, he knew that this was just their character and they had not done anything to let down their family.
No need to care too much!
No matter what, I can't just watch them die on their doorstep.
"Uncle Wang, we don't have the ability, so we asked Taoist Xuanqing to set up a formation in our house. Now Taoist Xuanqing has set up a formation in your house, can't we just take a look?" A villager from Hutougou villager complained.
"Take a look? I'm afraid you'll have the chance to see it but not the chance to return home alive!"
Wang Lin snorted coldly. Seeing the villagers in Hutougou around him, their faces were full of dissatisfaction when they heard what he said. They opened their mouths and were about to retort, but he spoke first to explain:
"Do you know why the formation set up by our Taoist Priest Xuanqing suddenly took effect and caused strange phenomena to appear in the sky above our house? It was because a monster broke into the Spirit Turtle Formation, which caused such a change!"
"monster?"
Hearing this, everyone around the Wang family was in an uproar. Some of them were older and had heard about the brutal deeds of monsters from the grapevine. Before Taoist Xuanqing came to settle in their area, monsters often caused trouble.
Even though Qingyang County has an immortal official in charge, that immortal official...
I don't know whether I should say bad things about him. I can only say that he is weak and it is already a stretch for him to protect the dignitaries in Qingyang County.
How can we solve the problem of the monsters that are wreaking havoc in the villages around Qingyang County?
of course.
It's not that they are doing nothing. They still kill one or two monsters from time to time. But compared with those monsters that are causing chaos, it seems like a drop in the bucket.
Not only did they hear about the evil deeds done by the monster, but they were also "fortunate" enough to see with their own eyes the corpses left behind by the monster, which were truly horrific.
Things didn't get better until Taoist Master Xuanqing settled in their area. All the monsters that had caused trouble were killed by Taoist Master Xuanqing.
This made Taoist Priest Xuanqing and Xuanqing Temple famous, leading to a surge in popularity.
Even though they are under the protection of the God of Land in Hutougou, in addition to burning incense at the Land Temple, they will also go to Xuanqing Temple to pray for peace during festivals.
They had not heard of monsters for many years since Taoist Xuanqing appeared. Now they suddenly heard from Wang Lin that a monster had broken into his house, and they were more or less terrified.
Cheng Yong was surprised and asked, "Brother Wang, how come a monster suddenly came to your house?"
"It is our family that is safe. Whoever keeps our family safe must be the reincarnation of a great good man!"
Wang Ping sighed slightly, not knowing whether to be happy or blame God, and said: "Master Xuanqing once said that our Ping An is a first-class delicacy in the eyes of demons and monsters, and will attract demons to cause trouble!"
in fact.
Taoist Priest Xuanqing once said that if demons and monsters ate the food from their house, they would be able to prolong their lives, but he didn't dare to say this to anyone.
otherwise.
Not to mention monsters and demons, even some old immortal humans might have ideas about the safety of their family.
"how come……"
Cheng Yong subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he thought that it was Taoist Xuanqing who said this, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and changed his words to: "Your family, is your family still safe at home?"
Wang Lin had a sad face and did not give a direct answer. He said, "What do you think, village chief?"
Seeing Wang Lin like this, Cheng Yong knew what he meant, so he consoled him, “Brother Wang, I am sorry…”
"Village chief, can you speak? What does it mean to be in mourning?"
Niu Li snorted in dissatisfaction, and quickly interrupted Cheng Yong's unfinished words of comfort, and said angrily:
"You know, during this period of time, Taoist Xuanqing has been living in the Wang family. Although there are monsters breaking into the Wang family, with Taoist Xuanqing here, their family will be safe and nothing will happen!"
