The more timid Taoist's legs trembled as he whispered, "Big Brother, did we just run into a monster?!"
Although the Monk was braver, even he felt a chill at this sight.
He swallowed hard, feigning composure, "It's nothing. If you ask me, they're definitely outdoor streamers looking for excitement. Let's go in another direction!"
After speaking, he turned and left, quickening his pace.
Kokomi saw the backs of the two men and wondered, "It looks like there are people over there. I wonder who they could be."
Gorou sniffed and then exclaimed, "Lady Kokomi, those two don't seem to be with us. Their scent is very unfamiliar. Could there be any danger?"
Kokomi, however, was very calm and said, "No, Blue Star people don't have much combat power. I think they are outdoor streamers I've seen before, specifically here to seek thrills."
Excellent, both sides' deductions were exactly the same.
The two who had escaped breathed a sigh of relief, realizing at the same time that this village was not as quiet as they had imagined.
Sure enough, several more people appeared ahead.
But fortunately, although these people were dressed somewhat strangely, they still looked human.
And one of the youths was holding a talisman, seemingly searching for something.
The Fake Taoist immediately became clever: "Big Brother, could these be our colleagues?"
The Monk thought about it more and more, and felt it was possible. This group of people must have also been called by the villagers.
This made him very annoyed. These villagers simply didn't trust him, and even found another team of people.
He thought carefully, this money absolutely couldn't be earned by others.
Moreover, he was very clear that he was a fake, what if these people had some real skills?
So he put on an act, holding his prayer beads and walking over.
"Amitabha, what are you all doing here?"
Chongyun looked up and saw a pot-bellied Monk before him.
He quickly bowed in return, "Hello, Master. I was invited by Uncle Wang to exorcise ghosts."
"Uncle Wang?"
The Monk's eyes darted around. Although he didn't know who the so-called Uncle Wang was, it was clear that this group of people was here to steal business.
So he chuckled, "Little friend, I have already examined this place. This is a land of Nine Yin Absolute Evil, extremely dangerous, and a Nine Yin Absolute Formation has been laid out by someone. With its interlocking layers, this will sever one's descendants."
"This involves deep hatred and is not something ordinary people can get involved in."
Chongyun was surprised upon hearing this, "Master, how amazing! I only knew that this place had a Feng Shui array laid, but I never expected it to be a Nine Yin Absolute Formation. It's said that only a high-level Feng Shui master can set up such a formation, and it requires utilizing the right time and place."
The Fake Monk was startled, thinking to himself that he had just made it up, how did this kid know so much?
The Fake Taoist behind him also walked up, stroking his fake beard and putting on an act, "Little friend, this is not a place you can easily touch. I see you have a connection with it, so you should leave quickly, lest you get entangled in karma."
Xiangling heard them say this and couldn't help but say to everyone, "Why don't we just leave? It sounds really scary."
Yanfei mused, "But this doesn't make sense. If this place is so dangerous, why would they come here?"
The Monk's heart sank when he heard this, but fortunately, his mind was quick enough, and he immediately thought of a reason.
"Benefactor, you do not know, we people of Buddhism are compassionate."
"My Buddha said, 'If I don't go to hell, who will?'"
"Such matters of vanquishing demons and defending justice must be done by someone. Even if we bear immense karma, we must resolve it!"
Looking at the Monk's righteous expression, everyone was filled with admiration and respect.
Chongyun immediately cupped his fists and said, "Master is indeed a Master. It seems the gap between my realm and yours is still too great."
The Monk nodded with satisfaction, "It's good that you know. So, leave quickly, lest you attract something unclean."
But Chongyun didn't agree, "Even if Master says so, I've made a promise to someone. I can't break it. I plan to try my best."
The Monk's mouth twitched slightly, then he sternly said, "Little friend, I've made it very clear. This matter is not something you can meddle with. Leave quickly."
He didn't expect this kid to be so stubborn, willing to risk his life just to earn money!
Chongyun finally scratched his head and said, "Although my abilities might be a bit lacking, my aunt practices with an immortal every day. If there's really a problem, she'll definitely be able to help solve it."
After the Monk heard these words, his heart sank again.
This one kid was already difficult enough to deal with, and now there's an aunt too?
And from what this kid said, that woman should also be a difficult opponent.
"Big Brother, they have the numerical advantage. Otherwise, let's just forget about it."
The Fake Taoist knew it was unlikely to drive these people away, so he chose to back down.
The Monk thought it made sense, so he flicked his sleeve and left.
Watching the Monk and Taoist leave in a huff, Chongyun felt very remorseful, "These two Masters are kind-hearted and thought for me, yet I didn't listen to their advice..."
Xingqiu patted his shoulder and said, "It's fine, everyone is here to vanquish demons and defend justice. I believe the Masters will understand you!"
Chongyun swept away his previous gloom and continued leading everyone deeper.
Meanwhile, the Monk and Taoist who left felt very annoyed. Either they encountered strange things, or they met these brainless little brats.
"This is truly strange. Are there really so many people trying to steal business now?"
"No, we must come up with something, otherwise those villagers definitely won't believe us, but them instead!"
The Fake Monk felt he had to do something to trick the money out of them.
Not long after walking, they saw three more figures.
"Xavier, what's that!"
"What? A plastic bag. Then what's this?"
"Ah? Is it a piece of wood? I thought it was a little ghost's head..."
Furina was so jumpy that everything looked like a ghost to her, hiding behind Xavier.
"Help! Xavier, there are two ghosts ahead, one fat and one thin, and one is bald!"
Furina suddenly saw the Monk and Taoist ahead, and she completely lost it.
The fat Monk immediately cursed upon hearing that remark, "You scoundrel, are you blind? I'm a Monk, not bald."
But remembering his identity, he immediately corrected himself, "Amitabha, three benefactors, where are you heading?"
Xavier stepped forward and said, "Hello, Master. We were invited by someone to break a Feng Shui array."
The Monk's expression became incredibly solemn.
It's really hard to scam money these days, there are more and more competitors!
