Chapter 68 Master's Worries
"By the way, what time is it now?" I saw that the sun was shining brightly outside, so it must be getting late.
"It's eleven o'clock at noon." Gu Yu said.
"Oh." I nodded and looked outside, "Wait, what time do you think it is now?" Suddenly I remembered something and almost reacted.
"It's eleven o'clock at noon, what's wrong?" Gu Yu repeated it again.
"It's over. I didn't go home last night. Master and the others must be worried." I immediately took out my phone and looked at it. Sure enough, it showed 31 missed calls, all of which were from Master.
I immediately made a call back to Master. As soon as the call was connected, Master's anxious voice came from the other side.
"Lingling, where are you? Are you okay? Are you injured? Where are you now?" Master asked anxiously on the phone.
"Master, I'm fine. I'm in Zhaojiazhuang. Come over quickly. I have something to tell you." I said to Master.
"Okay, just wait, we'll go there now." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
"Your master is worried about you." Gu Yu said from the side.
"Uh, yes." He was right, Master was indeed worried about me.
"Little Master, you guys are awake." Just as Gu Yu and I were talking, the village chief walked in slowly. Also walking in with the village chief were his son, daughter-in-law, and some villagers. In the hands of his son
Carrying a black bag.
"Village chief, what are you doing?" Gu Yu and I looked at the village chief and them in confusion.
"Fa'er, give the things to the two masters." The village chief turned around and said to his son, who immediately handed the black bag he was holding to me and Gu Yu.
I took a look into the bag and saw that it was all filled with one-hundred-dollar bills. Although I didn't count it, I roughly estimated that there should be fifty or sixty thousand yuan in it.
I was extremely shocked. For me at the time, this was basically an astronomical figure. Gu Yu's face began to look ugly as he stood aside.
Seeing the faces of the two of us, the village chief thought that we were dissatisfied with the lack of money they gave us, and immediately said: "Two young masters, our village can only raise so much money in such a short period of time. Look, how about other
When the crops in the village are harvested next year, we will send the remaining money to you. Do you think this will work?"
"Yes, the two young masters got rid of the monsters in our Zhaojiazhuang. They are the great benefactors of our village. We Zhaojiazhuang people will never do such ungrateful things."
"Yes, as long as you give us a few days' grace and wait until the crops are harvested, we will definitely send you the money."
These villagers were afraid that we would be angry because of the lack of money, so they immediately promised me and Gu Yu that they would send us money in the future, but Gu Yu and I never thought about asking them for money.
"Village Chief, you have misunderstood. I know it is not easy for you to come up with so much money, so I don't want this money." I said to the village chief immediately.
"No, how can this be done? Our Zhaojiazhuang has always been about integrity. If you do this, doesn't it put us in an unkind and unjust situation? No, absolutely not." When the village chief heard what I said, his face immediately became serious.
He stood up and objected.
"There's nothing wrong with it, village chief. We won't ask for this money at all. Just take it back. It's the responsibility of us Taoist priests and exorcists to kill demons. How can we ask you for money?"
?" Gu Yu, who had been standing aside and saying nothing, now stood up and spoke.
"Yes, village chief, although we collected the monsters this time, we also caused a lot of losses to the village. You can use the money to repair the village properly." I said to the village chief.
"Well, well, thank you two little masters." The village chief said: "Two little masters, I have one more unkind request. I hope you can agree. I will kneel down on behalf of our whole village.
Please."
As he said that, the village chief's knees weakened and he was about to kneel in front of us. Gu Yu and I were so frightened that we quickly stepped forward to support him.
"Village Chief, what are you doing? Get up quickly and let's talk slowly." Seeing the village chief like this really shocked me.
"Little Master, you have also seen that so many children have died in our village this time. I am afraid that they will not be able to die peacefully, so I would like to ask you to hold a salvation ceremony for these dead children in our village so that they can die as soon as possible.
Reincarnation." The village chief shed tears as he spoke, and the villagers behind him also shed tears.
I understand their feelings very well. These children who died were all their close relatives. How could they not be sad? It is not an exaggeration to make this request.
"Okay, I promise you, get ready now and hold the salvation ceremony later." I said to the village chief and the villagers behind him.
When the village chief heard what I said, his face immediately lit up with a smile, he happily said yes, and then took the villagers behind him back to find Liu Shensuan to prepare things for the salvation ceremony.
After the village chief left, Gu Yu stood in the corner and looked at me with a half-smile.
"Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?" I asked him.
"No, I just want to tell you that I don't know how to save infant spirits, so you may have to do the salvation ceremony alone," Gu Yu said.
"Hey, I thought you were going to say something, but it turns out that's it. Don't worry, just leave it to me."
"That's good, I'll trouble Master Ye later!"
"Wait a minute, what did you just say?" I seemed to suddenly remember something, and my mind started to tremble. "You said you don't know how to redeem yourself?" I suddenly remembered that I don't know how to redeem myself. I just promised the village chief that I would not be saved.
It was just a momentary fever, I didn’t expect that Gu Yu didn’t know how to do it, so what should I do?
"Yes, is there any problem?" Gu Yu asked.
"Didn't you say that you know everything? You said that as a descendant of the Gu family, shouldn't you know everything? How could you not transcend?" I was anxious.
"Is there anything wrong with this? Usually when we deal with ghosts, we just beat them until their souls are gone. We don't need to be saved at all, so it's normal that we can't be saved." Gu Yu said.
"Then what should I do? I won't go overboard." Now I was really anxious.
Gu Yu spread his hands and said, "That's your business. Who asked you to agree to them yourself?"
"I..." It's over now, what should I do? "How about I go and tell them now that I can't do anything?" I asked Gu Yu.
"It's up to you. If you can bear to watch them change from happy to disappointed and look at you with those pitiful eyes, then you can go ahead. I don't care." Gu Yu stood beside him with an indifferent look, angrily
I almost didn't explode.
"Gu Yu." I angrily pointed at his nose and cursed: "You, you are inhumane."
