The third brother thanked him profusely and followed the Daoist into the courtyard.
Passing through the front hall, he went around a small garden and arrived at a main hall. From afar, Fan Xian could see an old Daoist sitting upright on a chair, his eyes slightly closed.
As soon as the Daoist entered the room, he said, ”Master, it is this Benefactor who is looking for you.”
At this moment, the old Daoist opened his eyes and looked at Fan Xian. His eyes were bright and full of spirit as he came up to Fan Xian, ”Benefactor, it looks like your hall is dark and your roof is covered by dark clouds. Have you run into something unclean recently?”
His words had truly revealed Fan Xian's inner thoughts, and he was now filled with admiration towards the old Daoist. Before he could even open his mouth to speak, the old Daoist had revealed his intentions. This person was definitely an expert, so he immediately became extremely excited and said with a trembling voice, ”Daoist …” ”You really are an expert. Recently, I've encountered some unclean things. I hope that the Taoist can definitely save the lives of our family's elders and children …”
He waved his hand and said, ”No rush, no hurry. If you have something to say, you should first sit down. This Penniless Priest wants to see what exactly is wrong with you before being able to prescribe the correct medicine.”
Old man Fan hesitated for a while, but he still didn't dare sit down in front of an expert. Daoist Yunyang waved his hand for him to sit down, and then Old man Fan put down the gifts he had brought and sat down on a small stool.
Next, Fan Lao San told the story of what had happened to his family, starting with the old house and ending with the nightmare the family had had that night. A woman in red appeared in their dreams, disturbing their family and threatening to kill them.
After listening to Fan Xian's teary face, the old Daoist's face immediately became solemn. Reaching out his hand to stroke his goatee, he solemnly said, ”It looks like this is a fierce ghost that haunts the world. This is to let your family be the scapegoat so she can be reincarnated …”
At that time, he had kneeled in front of the old Daoist, begging, ”Daoist leader, I really have no other choice. My child is not even a year old, and there's also an old lady above him.
Saying this, the third brother's eyes reddened and he began to cry.
Daoist Yunyang waved his hand and said, ”Alright, you stand up first. This humble one has learned the Dao since childhood and beheaded countless vengeful spirits. Although that evil ghost is powerful, this humble one is not afraid of it. Furthermore, cultivators, this is the duty of the Dao to exterminate demons. This humble one will not just watch until I die.”
Hearing Daoist Yun Yang say this, Fan Lao San naturally expressed his gratitude.
However, at this moment, Daoist Cloud Yang hesitated and shot a look at the young Daoist by the side.
The little cultivator cunningly smiled and said, ”Master …” This time, we still need to purchase a lot of things to use as our method of practice. It seems like the monastery doesn't have much money left, what do we do now? ”
Daoist Yun Yang coughed dryly and said unhappily, ”If it's not enough, then think of another way, let's do our best in this matter …”
