Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 253: The Family of Youye Palace

"Blame?" The soil layer shook his head and said, "No, the master is an open-minded temple spirit as soon as I see him. As long as we are doing the right thing, the master will not care about this empty attitude."

"Besides, the master loves Fangkuai the most. How could he blame you for working so hard just because of such an empty talk?"

"That's good. I'll go get some firewood. This newly expanded underground palace needs a big fire to remove moisture and test its ventilation." Fangkuai said, running to the firewood room where the firewood was stored.

To be honest, Tu Zeng was a little envious of Fang Kuai, because Fang Kuai was really loved by Shang Liangshan, and he would not be scolded even if he played around all day.

On a hill, Yixiong said to his men who had just finished exterminating the ghosts and returned to the temporary camp: "After a rest, those who need to set traps should set traps, and those who need to find caves should find caves. No one should be lazy. Don't let the python crawl into the camp like last night and almost swallowed us."

"Captain, I doubt the python last night crawled out of the cave. It should be hiding in the tree." A simple and honest man put forward his guess.

"It's possible. Anyway, we have to check the camp thoroughly. What happened last night can't happen again. If this gets out, we'll lose all our face." Yixiong said depressedly.

Late last night, a python about eight meters long appeared out of nowhere and attacked the sleeping reserve members.

At the critical moment, a spear shot out and accurately nailed the python to the ground, otherwise the sleeping person would have been kissed by the snake.

He was a hunting team member on patrol. After discovering the python attack, he took precise action.

At that time, the python's mouth was only fifty centimeters away from the sleeping person's neck.

After the python was nailed down, it was in pain and was about to bite the reserve member Xiao JJ, who was awakened from his deep sleep and was stunned. Fortunately, Xiao JJ reacted to the stress and punched the python on the head.

Otherwise, the first Thai sister in Forgotten Town might have been born.

In this case, it is like playing with eagles all your life, but in the end you get your eyes pecked by an eagle.

If this gets out, the other two teams will laugh their heads off.

Therefore, Yixiong repeatedly warned his subordinates not to spread this matter, and if anyone did spread it, they would all punish him together.

I have to say that although the Yixiong looks like a bear, it is not stupid at all. It knows how to lead its subordinates and threaten together.

If it is exposed afterwards, the law will not hold everyone responsible, and at most everyone will be laughed at.

A strange "ga ga" sound was heard above the temple guard camp.

Heizi laughed mercilessly, poking at the remaining fire that had blackened his face.

"Go away, go away. What's so funny about this?" With only his mouth and eyes not completely blackened, he waved his hands to chase away the blackheads while poking the smoke.

"Haha" Heizi laughed even louder when facing the driving away of Yihuo.

"Wait, how come the smoke was blocked all of a sudden? Could it be..." Yihuo said as he looked at Heizi suddenly.

"Ha ha, it's not me, Heizi." Heizi, who was trying to hide his true intentions, rushed away.

"Heizi, come back here, or I'll pluck all your hair out."

"Haha, this black guy has no hair."

"That's right." Yihuo nodded suddenly and continued to stir the brine.

Seeing this scene, the temple guards hid in the barracks and laughed like ducks.

It's really fun when these two funny guys get together.

The old patriarch in the pavilion on Yanfeng Peak laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh.

This made Shang Liangshan, who had a very high sense of humor, want to complain.

The sky was clear and the air was bright. The villagers who were working in the fields suddenly saw a fleet of boats slowly approaching the fork in the river.

This is a fleet composed of large and small boats and bamboo rafts, giving people a feeling of migration of refugees with their families.

The bamboo rafts were filled with middle-aged people, and the large and small boats were filled with the elderly, the weak, women and children.

Of course, the rowers were middle-aged men. There were more than a hundred small boats, large and small, mostly bamboo rafts.

The patrolman quickly spread the news to Yishui, and then to Yitu, Yihuo, and Yifeng.

Before long, people who got the news rushed to the dock and looked at the slowly approaching fleet.

Yihuo looked at the three groups of people sitting on bamboo rafts between the large and small boats and couldn't help but complain: "Youmiao Palace should not be short of money, so why let their high-ranking family members paddle the bamboo rafts? This is too stingy."

"It should be to avoid attracting attention." Yishui said.

"I thought they would not come, but now that I see his means of transportation, I feel they are coming soon." Yi Tu said as he looked at the middle-aged man who was paddling the bamboo raft on the river.

"We have to put on a good show and follow the procedure for receiving refugees. This was agreed upon last night." Yifeng said in a low voice.

"We agreed on it last night? How come I didn't know about it?" Yihuo asked in surprise.

"You just happened to go get the bacon." Yifeng explained.

"Oh." Yihuo suddenly realized and waved to Shitou, who came running over happily and followed Yifeng's instructions.

The arrival of the fleet undoubtedly attracted attention, but after going through the set of refugee procedures, the villagers thought that they were refugees coming to seek refuge and did not think much about it. The fleet became a topic of conversation after dinner.

But procedures are procedures, and secret care must be given, so Yifeng and the others summoned the elders of the fleet for this purpose.

In the market village, several elderly people, led by their guards, walked into a simple thatched courtyard and saw the four people from Yifeng sitting in the courtyard and drinking tea.

"We, the old folks, are here to greet the four elders." An old man with a white beard, dressed like an old gentleman, and about sixty years old, brought five old men of similar age to greet Yifeng and the others.

"We are all followers of Confucianism and Taoism, so there is no need for you to be so polite, old brother. The same goes for my fellow brothers." Yifeng raised his hand and said friendly.

"It is a courtesy not to exceed the ordinary. Thank you for your care, Great Elder." The old man saluted.

Well, when Yihuo saw this, he knew that this old gentleman was the legendary corrupt scholar.

He cleared his throat and said, "Well, as the saying goes, a superior's gift cannot be declined. Now, as the fifth elder, I ask you to sit down and discuss matters."

"Thank you, Fifth Elder, for the invitation." The old gentleman invited his younger brother who came with him to sit down.

Next, Yifeng talked about the arrangements, and the old gentlemen said "um" repeatedly.

Seeing this, Yihuo couldn't help but ask: "What on earth have you experienced to make you so obedient."

Unexpectedly, the old man sighed and told various versions of oppression.

Finally, even Yifeng couldn't help asking, "Brother, you are a fourth-rank Confucian cultivator, why are you being oppressed?"

The old man replied embarrassedly: "I was on the way and felt a breakthrough."

Well, what else can I say? Just treat them like refugees.

The issue of resettlement naturally fell on Yishui, and the old patriarch didn't even have time to show up.

It is said that the next day, they took the initiative to join in the work, and each of them worked very hard.

As a result, the former refugees immediately felt the pressure and started working hard unconsciously.

This made Yishui very happy. In order to motivate the original refugees, he asked the kitchen to give the new refugees extra meals and claimed it was a reward.
