Chapter 307 Mr. Spiritual 1

"Hey, have you heard?" Someone next door asked his companion in a low and mysterious voice.

"What?" the companion asked curiously.

"There's a group of horse bandits that are reportedly planning to invade the area..."

"Where did you hear that gossip?" The companion didn't care.

He wanted to show off his well-informed knowledge, but his companions didn't believe him. He got anxious and raised his voice, "I'm not kidding. The leader of that bandit gang is a woman. I heard she knows some sorcery and can bring her men back to life. It's scary..."

The screen was not soundproof. Ren Yinyin put down the teacup and glanced at Shi Shaojian who was serving rice.

"Yinyin, let's eat." Shi Shaojian scooped a bowl of rice and handed it to her, smiling, "Eat while you listen."

Ren Yinyin took the bowl and listened quietly to the conversation at the next table with Shi Shaojian.

"Don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing as witchcraft that can bring the dead back to life. You must have made it up." The companion retorted disdainfully.

The man stamped his feet anxiously and said, "I'm not lying. My cousin's neighbor saw it with his own eyes. The bandit leader gave an order, and his fallen men stood up as if nothing had happened."

Ren Yinyin and Shi Shaojian looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"There are such magical things in this world." Ren Yinyin asked in a low voice.

Shi Shaojian nodded and explained softly, "Some sorcery can bring the dead back to life, but those people probably can't be called human anymore."

"There's such a sorcery?" Ren Yinyin was a little surprised. "Can you still maintain your sanity?"

Shi Shaojian shook his head. "I've only heard Master say it, and haven't seen it myself. I guess it's impossible to retain everything, or even if I do, my personality will change drastically."

"Oh, I thought there really was a magic spell that could bring people back to life without any side effects!" Ren Yinyin lowered his head and ate without interest.

"If there is, it is not a sorcery but a magic of immortality." Shi Shaojian shook his head and laughed. Yinyin was really innocent and cute.

On the other side of the screen, his companions were also a little scared after hearing their friend's solemn words.

"If what you said is true, then we are in trouble, aren't we?"

Seeing his companion's panicked expression, the man quickly consoled him, "We're in a small town. We're protected by the security team, and they have guns. No matter how evil those bandits are, they can't stop them!"

Upon hearing this, his companion was still a little worried, "What if? What if... my whole family lives in town!"

"Oh, what's the 'what if'?" The man laughed at his friend's expression. "You look so timid. There are so many people in this town. One of them can chop the bandits into pieces with just one knife."

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Those bandits are bullies who only want to cause trouble in the village. They wouldn't dare come to a town with security guards!"

“But those villages are in dire straits.”

Listening to what the two people next door said, Ren Yinyin was a little confused. She had been out for so long, why hadn't she heard of any horse bandits happening anywhere?

Is it that she is too uninformed?

……

There is a landlord named Huang Baiwan in the town. His house has been haunted for a long time and he is looking for a capable wizard.

The landlord was a wealthy man, so he should give a lot of compensation. So Ren Yinyin and Shi Shaojian came to the old house of the Huang family.

However, Huang Baiwan did not really trust the two young men, Ren Yinyin and Shi Shaojian.

As the saying goes, a man without beard cannot do things well.

What's more, the combination of the two is that there is a young and beautiful nun, and a silly boy who follows her everywhere. It seems unreliable no matter how you look at it.

Ren Yinyin was not angry even though she was despised. She had encountered too many such things after leaving her master.

Seeing Huang Baiwan's housekeeper leading a middle-aged Taoist priest in, Huang Baiwan changed his distrustful expression towards Ren Yinyin and the others and went to greet them.

The middle-aged Taoist priest called himself Maoshan Ming and was a Maoshan Taoist priest.

"Maoshan?" Huang Baiwan heard this and turned to look at Ren Yinyin and the others. These two also claimed to be Taoist priests from Maoshan.

However, even if they are both Maoshan Taoist priests, the older one is definitely more powerful than the younger one!

After hearing what Mao Shanming said, Ren Yinyin and Shi Shaojian looked at each other. They had followed their respective masters back to Maoshan many times, but had never seen this Mao Shanming.

However, there are many Maoshan Taoist priests, and after leaving the sect, they are scattered all over the place and open Taoist temples, so it is impossible for them to know all the Maoshan Taoist priests.

……

I saw several servants of the Huang Mansion carefully carrying a long table and altar and walking into the Huang Mansion's mansion.

This altar looks quite mysterious, with various magical instruments and talismans placed on it, and it is obviously well prepared.

Huang Baiwan's family also came over, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness on their faces.

Even the two children of the Huang family were led by the maids and followed the adults obediently.

Mao Shanming followed Huang Baiwan at a steady pace. He was calm and composed, as if he was confident in this spell.

Seeing this, Ren Yinyin and Shi Shaojian looked at each other and followed without hesitation.

Anyway, Huang Baiwan didn't ask them to leave, so they could take the opportunity to watch the excitement and broaden their horizons.

"This house has only been under construction for a year," Huang Baiwan said with a worried look on his face, pointing at the house in front of him. "But in this short year, my family, young and old, hasn't had a single morning where we could sleep peacefully in our beds."

"Wow, it's been like this for a whole year. The Huang family is really generous!" Upon hearing this, Ren Yinyin turned her head to look at Shi Shaojian, lowered her voice, and sighed in disbelief.

The corners of Shi Shaojian's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He thought to himself that Mr. Huang, who was known for his wealth and power, would rather live in this haunted house for a year than move out. The reason for this was either that there was something wrong with his property, causing him to be reluctant to spend the huge sum of money on building the house.

Or maybe he is so stingy that he is not even afraid of ghosts.

No matter which situation it is, Huang Baiwan’s money is probably not that easy to get!

"Those who move people onto the table are evil people, and those who move people off the bed are evil ghosts!" After listening to Huang Baiwan's complaints, Mao Shanming suddenly said this, which made Ren Yinyin and Shi Shaojian stunned.

What's the truth behind this? I've never heard Master say that!

"You should be afraid of evil people, evil ghosts," Mao Shanming patted his chest and said confidently, "With me here, you don't have to be afraid!"

The worry on Huang Baiwan's face remained unchanged. He had heard too many arrogant words from these mages.

Unfortunately, until now, no one has been able to solve the problem!

"Oh, you're already the tenth Taoist priest to say this to me!" Huang Baiwan exclaimed, "The nine Taoist priests before me couldn't do anything about it!"

"Oh, ten Taoist priests," Mao Shanming waved his hand nonchalantly, "nine of them are unreliable, so isn't it time for me, the reliable one, to come?"

Huang Baiwan ignored Mao Shanming's boasting, but took out a handful of silver bills and counted them.

"Wow, senior brother, that's a lot of money!" Ren Yinyin saw it and felt a little regretful that he didn't take on this big deal.

"The cinnabar on the banknotes is so beautiful!" Mao Shanming stared at Huang Baiwan counting the banknotes without blinking, thinking that he could make a fortune today!

Finally, Huang Baiwan counted it down, took out a small red envelope and handed it to Mao Shanming.

Mao Shanming was stunned for a moment, then took it angrily and opened it. He saw only a lonely silver dollar.
