Chapter 424: Yin Yang Delivery (30)

“Taoist masters.”

The Taoist masters that were in a heated discussion looked toward Ming Shu, who was eating. They all had a puzzled look on their faces.

Ming Shu finished her celery beef bun and gave a standard Ming Shu smile. “Do you all want to save the world?”

The Taoist masters: “…”

Xie Hui: “…”

Saving the world is not saving the carrot. How can she say it so casually?

Most importantly, how could they have the chance to save the world just like that?

“Let me give you all a chance to save the world. Do you all want that?” I am a generous person. You can’t find anyone like me even if you look around with a lantern.

The Taoist master looked at each other. What does this ghost from Hell want to do?

Is there a scheme? Are they planning to attack the human world and reign over both worlds?

After a long time, a Taoist master stepped out. “May I ask what is the thing you are referring to?”

Xie Hui had a bad feeling.

As expected, the next second, Ming Shu told them everything about Xi Chu. She didn’t hide any details and even told them that her body was still there.

Xie Hui: “…”

While he was still deciding whether he should say the mission, the NPC opposite him had already given out the mission and even summarized the method to complete the mission.

Seriously, it’s not that I don’t believe in the Taoist masters.

But, what happens if Zhao Desheng’s people are here?

Wait…

Why did she link this issue with Zhao Desheng?

“An Ge, you have no evidence. Don’t say things any which way.” Xie Hui interrupted everyone. “How do you know that it was Zhao Desheng?”

“I don’t.” Ming Shu tilted her head and smiled brightly. “But Ling Yan knew.”

Ling Yan said this name before. Now that Zhao Desheng and Gu Yi came to Anfeng County, only a fool would think it was a coincidence.

The Taoist masters looked at the man behind Ming Shu together. He looked at Ming Shu irritatedly, but didn’t deny her words.

Everyone went silent. Could it be true?

“The last time, Zhao Desheng was found to be using forbidden techniques to make evil ghosts. It is definitely not a coincidence that he came to Anfeng County.”

“But this is only our one-sided guess. There is no verification. What happens if this was a coincidence?”

“Whether it is a coincidence or not, Zhao Desheng must be caught!”

Ming Shu tapped the table with her fingers. When the Taoist masters had finished their discussion, she said slowly, “So, have you all decided to save the world?”

The Taoist masters: “…”

Why does it feel delusional?

…

The world-saving Taoist master team was formed.

Xie Hui was in charge of educating them about Chu Kingdom and Ling Yan. The receptivity of Taoist masters was very high. After they understood everything, they immediately accepted this setting.

They lamented and looked at Ling Yan weirdly.

This was something that was 2000 years old.

They actually saw it personally.

Amazing.

“We need a plan now, right?” Taoist master number one raised his hand.

“Yes, we do. No matter what Zhao Desheng is planning to do, we must stop him,” Taoist master number two agreed.

“Why not we go set up an array and wait for Zhao Desheng to bite the hook?” Taoist master number three suggested.

After they finished discussing, they looked at Ming Shu. Ming Shu smiled. “Feel free to play around.”

World-saving Taoist master team: “…”

What does she mean by feel free to play around? Are we supposed to charge toward Zhao Desheng and fight with him?

In the end, the Taoist master team split into two groups. One of them would go to the stone temple while the other group searched for Zhao Desheng’s location in Anfeng County.

However, when the Taoist masters arrived at the stone temple, they realized that something had happened.

There were villagers outside the stone temple.

The nearest village was Da Qin Village. These villagers must be from there.

The villagers felt anxious at the appearance of the Taoist masters. It was normal to be anxious when such a huge bunch of people appeared.

“What are you all doing?” Xie Hui frowned at the villagers.

The villagers stared at them angrily and vigilantly. “Who are you then? Why does this have to do with you?”

“You can’t touch this stone temple,” Xie Hui said, “you all better hurry up and leave.”

“Leave? So that you all can take all the treasures here?” the villagers scolded angrily. “Don’t even think about it. Everything on this mountain belongs to us. You are the ones that need to leave. Hurry up and leave. If not, don’t blame us for the consequences.”

The villagers took out their hoes and sickles and waved them at the Taoist masters. All of them had evil looks on their faces.

“What did they say?” Xie Hui asked Ming Shu uncertainly.

Ming Shu took a bite of her bun. “They say that you all want to take the treasures here.”

The stone temple had been here for a long time. Why did the villagers suddenly know about the treasures here when it had been safe for so long?

Besides Zhao Desheng, Ming Shu couldn’t think of another person that would urge these villagers up the mountain.

But why did Zhao Desheng urge them up to the mountain?

“Listen to me, it is not safe here. Please go down the mountain.” The Taoist masters tried to reason with the villagers.

“You all are outsiders. We won’t allow you to cheat us of our things!”

“We don’t want to cheat you. We are Taoist masters. We have proof.”

“What Taoist masters? Everyone, don’t listen to them. They must be conmen who want to snatch our things. Let’s chase them away.”

The people that the Taoist masters normally interacted with were either rich or powerful. Sometimes, they would meet villagers from poor and secluded areas and they experienced how rude and ignorant they were. Hence, everyone felt a bit helpless and didn’t know what to do.

They couldn’t win over these people in a fight or with reasoning.

Ming Shu finished her bun and looked at the villagers with her arms crossed over her chest. The villagers were so angry it seemed as though someone dug up their ancestors’ graves. “Knock them unconscious. Why are you talking so much nonsense with them? Why are you trying to reason with an ignorant bunch of people? You should just go and ask your cow what tune you played.”

The Taoist masters: “…”

Although they felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, there was nothing they could refute.

You need to use different methods to handle different people.

As the villagers were charging over, a Taoist master hurriedly took out a few sleeping symbol papers and made the villagers fall asleep.

After the noise from the villagers disappeared, the entire mountain became quiet. There were only the sounds of birds chirping and the wind blowing.

Why did Zhao Desheng ask these villagers to come up the mountain?

Ling Yan had entered the stone temple. He came out with a serious expression and looked at Ming Shu.

Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. Did something happen inside?

Her coffin was dug out again.

Ming Shu: “…”

Why are there always people digging up my coffin!

Can you let go of my coffin!

There were a few villagers lying around the coffin. They had been sucked dry of their blood and were only left with their skin and bones. They died with painful expressions and there were signs of struggle all over the ground.

Their hands were all inside the coffin.

“I thought that he came for me. Seems like I was wrong,” Ling Yan’s cold voice sounded and landed in Ming Shu’s ear. “He came for you.”

“Maybe… he came for both of us.”

Ming Shu looked at the open boxes and smiled.
