Shaw Danon's heart was filled with joy. He temporarily forgot his worries. For the past three days, there were not many people on the road. Now that he saw such a small town, his spirit was lifted.
Near the entrance, there was a stone tablet. The words "Laguna Collective" were engraved on it. That must be the name of the small town.
Shaw Danon walked into the town. The voices of the people were getting louder. The ancient road passed through the small town. There were houses and shops on the side of the road. But most of them were hawkers who set up their stalls on both sides of the road. Walking along the street, the sound of hawking could be heard. It was really a painting of the world.
Shaw Danon walked among the crowd, a smile appeared on his lips. When he was young, he still lived in Grasstemple Village. He vaguely remembered it was like this. Compared to the time of cultivation on Mount Jadeon, it seemed to have a different taste in his heart.
"Dang dang dang dang dang......"
When Shaw Danon was still immersed in the memory of the past, a loud gong sound came from the street in front of him. It surprised him. Then he saw the townspeople quickened their pace and ran to the front. He heard some people talking while walking: "Let's go, the mayor has summoned us to speak."
"I think it is that matter?"
"Yeah, I heard the mayor, Li Baozhang, and Fan Xiucai discussed for the whole night. I wonder if they have come up with a solution?"
"Hope there is a solution, or else these days are really hard to live on!"
......
Shaw Danon's curiosity was piqued, so he followed the crowd and walked forward. People gathered around him. Not long after, there were two or three hundred people surrounding a stone platform in the center of the town.
Shaw Danon stood in the crowd and looked at the center. The stone platform was about half a person's height. It looked smooth. There were three people standing on it. Two old and one young. They must be the mayor, Li Baozhang, and Fan Xiucai.
Seeing that most of the people had arrived, the oldest of the three men on the stone platform stood up and waved to the townspeople below. The townspeople gradually quietened down.
When it was completely quiet, the old man looked around and said in a heavy tone, "Fellow villagers, I believe everyone knows why we have gathered here today. Since three months ago, that monster stayed at the Black Rock Cave five kilometers away from the town, and since then, he has been constantly harassing the town. In the recent month, he has become even more aggressive. He comes every night, and has seized countless livestock. What's more, three days ago, the Wang father and son rebelled against him for the sake of the last cow in the family, and they were actually … Alas, unfortunately, they died in the hands of that monster. "
The townspeople sighed, and a few of them even cursed out loud. Shaw Danon understood most of it, but he still did not know what the devil was.
At this time the Mayor continued, "As the Mayor, the old man cannot guarantee the safety of this town, I am ashamed. Last night, after discussing with Head Guard Li and Scholar Fan, we felt that since this evildoer is not ordinary, it is not something that ordinary people like us can handle. Why don't we put up a notice and invite some Daoist masters to come back and subdue this demon? As for the cost, I hope that everyone will support us. "
After he finished, the townspeople all said: "The Mayor is right, we should invite the Daoist masters to come back and subdue the demon."
"If this goes on, then I'm afraid he'll be eaten by that monster. Would he care about that little bit of money?"
"Yes, yes … …"
The three people on the stage saw most of the townspeople agreed, the Mayor seemed relieved, said: "If so, last night I also asked Scholar Fan to write a notice, then I will put it up." As he finished speaking, he nodded at the young man who looked like a scholar. The scholar nodded and took out a piece of white paper from his bosom. There were some words written on it. He walked down the stone platform and walked to the side of the brick wall. He stuck the paper on it.
The townspeople immediately crowded around it. Shaw Danon also followed and saw the words on the paper:
Today there is a devil three-tails fox spirit living in the Black Rock Cave ten miles away from the town. Comes out at night, harassing the town, plundering livestock, and even injuring people. Unfortunately its evil magic is strong. Today, we invite a Daoist master to eliminate this evil for the people. Laguna Collective is willing to give five hundred silvers as thanks.
Shaw Danon saw it was signed by the townspeople of Laguna Collective. The surrounding townspeople all agreed. He hesitated for a moment. Originally, he wanted to do a good deed, but when he thought of what the townspeople and the mayor had said just now, this demon was probably very powerful. His magic power was weak, so it was a small matter if he couldn't defeat the demon, but if he accidentally lost his life, he would also lose face for his sect. That was something he couldn't afford to bear.
While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard an uproar among the townspeople around him. He hurriedly looked up and was immediately startled. He saw a huge man walking over from outside. Wherever he went, he only needed to use his hands to push the crowd aside like water.
When the giant man was near, Shaw Danon could see him clearly. The man's age was not old, at most twenty years old. Thick eyebrows, big eyes, square face and wide ears. Combined with his amazing body, a powerful aura came to Shaw Danon.
In the crowd, the tallest person was only up to his shoulder. He really stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens.
He strode to the wall, read the notice carefully, then tore it down without saying anything.
The crowd exclaimed. The giant man turned around and glanced at the townspeople. The townspeople immediately quieted down. The giant man said in a muffled voice: "I am 'Vajra Faction' Herald of Valor's only disciple, Onara. I am ordered by my master to come out for cultivation. Today, I am here to do a good deed for everyone."
Shaw Danon startled. He searched his mind, but could not find any cultivation faction like Vajra Faction.
The people around him all stared at him. At this time, the mayor and the others also rushed over. They walked to the front of this giant man who called himself Stone. The mayor cautiously said, "This … warrior, that evildoer is very powerful. It's not, cough cough, it's not enough to just have great strength. It might even be life-threatening. Have you thought it through?"
The giant man nodded, looked at the mayor, said in a muffled voice: "You don't believe me?"
Being stared at by the giant eyes, the mayor's hair stood up. He forced himself to say: "No, no, I just want to remind you."
The giant man turned his head and looked around. After a moment, his eyes landed on the wall with the notice.
"Is this wall useful to you?"
The mayor startled, then said: "Usually not useful, just to put up a notice."
The giant named Stone chuckled and suddenly shouted, "Get out of the way!"
His voice was like thunder. Shaw Danon's ears were ringing, not to mention the other townspeople. They were all pale. After a moment, a large empty space was opened up. Only the giant man stood in the middle.
He frowned, then suddenly stomped on the ground with his right foot, formed a mark with one hand, murmured a short incantation, then shouted:
"Rise!"
"Whoosh!" A gust of wind suddenly burst out from the giant man's body, whistling past everyone's ears, almost causing them to lose their footing. Everyone's faces paled, and they retreated a few more steps with a "deng deng deng" sound. Golden light rose. The giant man summoned a giant golden mace. He held it horizontally in mid-air. The word "Shatterer" was engraved on it. It looked a bit solemn.
Everyone immediately cheered. Shaw Danon stood in the crowd, frowned. He was taught the incantation "Fawin Wisdom" by Pozhi. Although there was no one to teach him, he secretly practiced it, so he knew a little bit about Buddhism cultivation. This huge man called Shitou in front of him brandished this mace, the golden light was solemn and dignified. Looking at his casting gesture, it was somewhat similar to PuZhi's in the past, most likely he had some origin with the Buddhism cultivation school.
This shiny golden mace was incomparably huge, and it seemed to be even bigger than its owner. At this moment, Shitou was controlling it in the air. Shitou's eyes were wide open, and he pointed with his finger. The mace whistled through the air and smashed down.
Everyone exclaimed!
"Hong long", in the midst of the loud noise, dust flew everywhere. The originally perfectly fine brick wall, in a moment, under the power of his magic power, turned into powder.
"Wow …" All the townsfolk present were dumbstruck, and then all of them beamed with joy. Since this giant man possessed such great strength, it was naturally easy for him to eliminate the three-tailed fox demon. The mayor was the first to walk out. He chuckled non-stop and said, "Hero Stone, you're really capable. I'll leave it to you then."
Onara nodded.
The mayor paused, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, then said: "But there is one thing, hope warrior Onara can understand."
This robust man called Stone spoke in a low and muffled voice. At this moment, he still spoke like this. "Elder, please speak."
The mayor said: "As for the reward, because it is the townspeople's hard-earned money, so I hope warrior can get rid of the devil, then......"
Unexpectedly, when Stone heard this, he waved his hand and said, "It's fine. Before I left, Master repeatedly told me that we're people of the righteous path, and when we encounter monstrous geniuses, then we should stand out bravely without hesitation and take it as tempering our own cultivation. As for the money, no need to mention it. You just need to give me a full meal, then I will have the strength to kill the devil. "
The mayor was overjoyed. It was great that there was such a good thing. He quickly said: "Of course, of course. Warrior please follow me. We will definitely satisfy you."
Shaw Danon heard Onara's words, his heart was stirred. He felt ashamed. He thought his master and shi niang used to teach their Shixiong like this. But when the time comes, he was afraid of it. He really lost his master's face.
Thinking of this, his blood boiled. He felt he was a righteous faction, how could he ignore this matter. He was about to step out, reveal his identity, and go with Onara to kill the devil.
Unexpectedly, just as his feet left the ground, he suddenly heard a voice beside him, with some anxiety, some eagerness, saying, "Ah, this little brother, your head is covered by dark clouds, your glabella is black, your face has a deathly aura, the situation is not good!"
Shaw Danon was confident, the words were about to come out from his throat and do a righteous thing. But the words were suddenly said in his ear. He was startled and swallowed the words back. His foot was not careful, he stepped on the wrong place and stepped on a pile of dog poop.
Shaw Danon jumped up, but he felt his foot was stinky. Although it was under the sole of his shoe, his heart was cold, his body shivered. He turned his head hatefully, wanted to see who was the one who spoke.
There was an old man standing beside him. His hair and beard were all white, and his face was plain and ordinary. He looked like a celestial being who had attained the Dao. At first glance, people would feel some respect for him. Beside the old man, there was a little girl around eight or nine years old. She had two braids and was very lively and cute. She was holding a stick of candied hawthorn in her hand and was eating it with relish.
Shaw Danon was stunned by the old man's elegance. He could not scold him. When he was thinking what to say, the old man looked at his foot. He did not look apologetic, but more urgent, said: "You see, you see, isn't this a big sign?"
Shaw Danon was surprised, said: "What?"
The old man looked at him, said seriously: "Haven't you heard before: step on dog poop, bad luck force on you; nine out of ten people die, bad luck fill the sky, this proverb?"
Shaw Danon was speechless, said: "No, I only heard shixiongs said that a person has great luck, that's why people will say he is lucky in dog poop......"
The old man was stunned for a moment. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "Foolish, foolish, you are simply spouting nonsense."
Shaw Danon asked: "What is it?"
The old man said: "Since you said so, have you ever stepped on dog poop on purpose?"
Shaw Danon was surprised. He remembered when he was at Bamboo Peak, because he was the youngest, he often had to do some dirty work, and master Tian Bolis' big dog Big Yella was......
He immediately shook his head.
The old man nodded, said: "Have you ever seen someone step on dog poop on purpose?"
Shaw Danon shook his head, said: "There is no such thing!"
"That's right!" The old man clapped his hands and said, "If there really is such a thing as dog shit luck, why would everyone avoid it? Moreover, dog shit is an extremely filthy thing. It stinks to the heavens, and everyone hates it. Once you step on it, isn't it bad luck, but good luck?"
Shaw Danon felt what the old man said was very reasonable. It seemed he was wrong before. Then he remembered what the old man said was really alarmist. He could not help but cold sweat, said: "Then old man, you said I......"
The old man frowned, looked at Shaw Danon up and down. Shaw Danon's heart was in a mess, then said: "Hmm, seems like you really have a big bad luck. Why don't you step aside, let me read your fortune for you, what do you think?"
"Read my fortune?" Shaw Danon startled, then he noticed the old man was holding a bamboo pole. There was a piece of white cloth on it, with four words written on it: Celestial Guide.
So he is a fortune teller. But even so, Shaw Danon did not look down on him. The reason is that the founder of Jadeon, Jadeon, was also a fortune teller. Of course, no one in Jadeon knows about fortune teller, but Jadeon has always been friendly to fortune tellers, or else it would be like deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors.
Shaw Danon hesitated for a moment, but found when he was talking with the old man, the townspeople had already walked far away with the giant man called Onara. He calmed himself down, thought it is fine to let the old man read his fortune first. The mayor also said to let the giant man eat his fill before killing the devil, it seems like there is still time.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and said to the old man, "Alright then, I'll have to trouble you to take a look at my face."
The old man laughed, pointed at a big tree next to the road, said: "Then we will talk there." Then he turned and walked away.
Shaw Danon was about to follow, suddenly a clear voice said: "Da Gege."
Shaw Danon startled, it was the little girl who was eating candied haws next to the old man, she called him for some reason. Shaw Danon looked at her rosy face, very cute, smiled and bent down, said: "What is it, little sister?"
The little girl chewed, spat out a few stones, looked at Shaw Danon, said with a smile: "There is dog poop under your feet, very smelly!"
"Ah!" Shaw Danon's face turned red, jumped up, shook his feet desperately to get rid of the dirt on his shoes.
Seeing his sorry figure, the little girl chuckled, turned around and skipped over to the old man standing under the tree.
