Chapter 100 The Taoist Priest's Power
Gu Chi nodded, bowed and said, "See you later."
Le Huaxin returned the gift and said, "See you later."
Gu Chi took one last look at the mountain gate of Heming Sect, then soared into the sky with his sword and the big black dog.
In the vast sky, the big black dog looked at the Heming Sect that was getting farther and farther away and gradually disappeared from his sight. He turned his head and looked at Gu Chi and said, "Sister Gu Chi, where are we going?"
"Of course we are going to look for our opportunities." Gu Chi said. She actually didn't want to leave Heming Sect so soon, but if she stayed in the sect all the time, relying on the help of those few cultivation resources, the progress of her cultivation would be too slow.
In her own words, although she had food and accommodation provided in the factory, it was difficult for her to have much room for advancement in her life. Only by working outside would she have more possibilities and opportunities.
"The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, the sky is high enough for birds to fly. Even without relying on a sect, we can still carve out a world of our own!"
…………
Two months later, in an inconspicuous mountain village in the western part of Qian Kingdom.
A group of men, women, old and young were gathered around a large tomb, looking with awe and hope at a young woman in white Taoist robes and a large black dog that could walk upright.
These elders and villagers were holding a lot of chickens, ducks, fish, meat and sacrificial items in their hands.
"Master, I don't know if there's something wrong with the ancestral tomb. Many villagers say they've seen evil spirits wandering the village roads at night. Occasionally, they can even hear babies crying and women sobbing. It's causing panic in the villagers, who can't sleep at night. Please help us take a look."
The old village chief with a goatee spoke respectfully to Gu Chi, and the other villagers beside him called him "immortal".
"Don't panic, folks. Since I've accepted your request, I will naturally investigate the truth for you. If there really is an evil creature causing trouble, I will destroy it!"
The young Taoist priest spoke calmly, and with a "clang" he drew out a long straight knife hanging from his waist.
Everyone around fell silent instantly, their mouths hanging open in surprise. They all noticed a faint golden light swirling around the long straight sword. Could this be an immortal weapon?!
Gu Chi held a long knife and chanted something while walking around the tomb. A big black dog followed behind him, and one of its paws would occasionally take out yellow paper from its back and scatter it around.
Suddenly, Gu Chi shouted softly and swung the jade knife in his hand forward with great force.
"Open it for me!"
But when a loud bang was heard, the ancestral tomb of Wujia Village shook violently, and the huge tombstone that was more than five meters high exploded and shattered into small pebbles on the ground.
"Look! There's smoke! Smoke is coming out of the ancestral grave!"
Someone cried out in surprise, and others also saw that a hole had been opened in their ancestral tomb. Thick black smoke was now pouring out of the hole, accompanied by sharp and shrill screams.
"Something is coming out!"
"What is that? A ghost? Or a zombie?!"
There was a great deal of noise at the scene. The villagers of Wujia Village screamed and fled in all directions, hiding dozens of meters away.
From the split hole in the ancestral tomb, a number of skinny ghost claws covered with rotten flesh stretched out. Black fog rolled in, accompanied by the shrill sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling, which rose and fell all around.
The villagers of Wujia Village were all mortals. How could they have ever seen such a scene? Their faces turned pale with fear, and they hid dozens of meters away, not daring to breathe.
"Everyone, don't be afraid. Take out the ancestral tablets. With the immortals, divine beasts, and ancestors present, how can these evil spirits still run rampant?!"
The old village chief was also a man of blood. At this time, he stood up and asked the villagers to take out the ancestral tablets they had brought out from the ancestral hall to support Gu Chi and the big black dog.
"You little evil creature, why don't you surrender yourself?"
In front, Gu Chi shouted coldly, raised his hand and shot out a bright and dazzling golden light, and those sharp and piercing screams gradually weakened.
Not long after, the black fog dissipated and everything returned to calm. Gu Chi put the Cuo Yuqie back into the scabbard. He was just a kid at the third level of Qi training, but he dared to act so arrogantly in front of her. He really didn't know how to live or die!
"Okay, fellow villagers, the evil spirit has been eliminated!" Gu Chi turned around, waved and shouted to the villagers in the distance.
"The Immortal Master is truly powerful!"
The elders and villagers of Wujia Village were all overjoyed, cheering and complimenting each other, their faces full of excitement. The big trouble had been solved, and they finally didn't have to live in fear anymore.
"Hahaha... fellow villagers, let's go back to the ancestral hall and have a feast to celebrate." Gu Chi supported the old village chief and walked towards the ancestral hall in the village. He couldn't wait to have the feast.
"Yes, yes, yes, the evil spirits have been eliminated, our ancestors can rest in peace, and we don't have to worry anymore. It is indeed time to set up a few tables in the ancestral hall." The old village chief nodded repeatedly.
On this day, the entire Wujia Village was bustling with activity, even more lively than during the Chinese New Year. At the banquet, people kept running over with their children to toast Gu Chi, and asked her indirectly whether she wanted to take in a disciple.
Gu Chi also tactfully expressed that he had no intention of accepting a disciple at the moment.
The villagers were not angry. They just thought that their children were not blessed enough and had no chance to become immortals. They all returned to their seats and drank with others.
Gu Chi did not have the image or airs of a superior at all. He was very easy-going and would often pick up his wine bowl to compete with others in drinking capacity.
At this moment, a little boy who looked only about ten years old quietly approached Gu Chi. He bent down ninety degrees, bowed awkwardly to her, and said, "Sister, are you really an immortal?"
"Hmm?" Gu Chi was stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances with the big black dog. He chuckled and said, "Aren't immortals usually those kind of old grandfathers with white hair and long white beards, who look like immortals and are also amiable? Do you think we look like immortals?"
The little boy raised his head, and what came into view was a small face with distorted and misaligned features, and one of its eyes was blind.
He said timidly, "Sister, you are an immortal. The village is haunted and even the old village chief can't solve it, but you solved it with just a flick of your finger."
Gu Chi smiled, patted the empty seat next to him, motioned him to sit down, and asked in a gentle tone: "Why don't you find a place to eat? Aren't you hungry?"
Hearing Gu Chi asking him to sit down, the little boy was delighted and quickly sat down next to her. He then rubbed his fingers and muttered softly, "They all say I'm a freak, they don't want to play with me, and they won't let me sit at the table..."
"Hey! Isn't this judging people by appearances? We're all from the same village, and we share the same surname and clan. We should help each other and be united and friendly. How can they isolate a child like you?" Gu Chi turned his head to look at the big black dog and said, "Old Black, don't you agree?"
"Woof woof woof!" The big black dog nodded repeatedly. If a dog can sit at the table, why can't we, as human beings, sit at the table to eat?
"Master... don't you think I..."
"Hey! What's that? You haven't done anything bad. You haven't stolen or robbed anyone. Why should you care about them?"
Gu Chi waved his hand nonchalantly, picked up a large bowl, filled it with meat using chopsticks, and handed it to the little boy, saying, "Come on, you're at the age where you need to grow, so eat more meat."
