Chapter 24: Old Man Xin: Lao Tzu is the Temple Blessing of Uncle Hu
...
"You! You! Come on the offering quickly!"
The roar sounded, and the bustling crowds in front of the temple were divided on both sides, and the villagers all showed fear and hatred.
When Ao Yan looked into the temple, he saw a sloppy man blocking his temple gate.
The man had dark skin, looked about forty years old, but he was 1.9 meters tall. His arms were as thick as Ao Yan's thighs. He was as strong as Ao Yan's thighs. He had a scar on his face, which was extended from his right eyebrow to his left chin, and his eyes were like a copper bell.
At first glance, I feel extremely fierce!
Amid the shouts of this big man, Ao Yan stood aside with the crowd and heard the whispers of the villagers.
"This old man Xin is idle on weekdays. Didn't he leave some time ago? Why are he back now?"
"Oh... I'll be sad with this bully here!"
"How did he think about getting the money for incense in Hubo Temple?"
"Have you heard that this guy owed a lot of debts in the gambling house some time ago, and now he is being forced to pay debts..."
From his familiar words, Ao Yan understood the general situation. This man was called Xin Shi. He was forty-two years old. He was idle when he was young and often bullied his neighbors, which made people disgusted. Later, he was sent to the army by the village chief and came back five years later. After gaining knowledge, he also brought back a soldier and ruffian spirit. Now the villagers hate it even more.
Even though he is so old, he has not married.
I left the village some time ago and went to Mafice Town to find a job, but I didn't expect to get back from gambling debts today.
The gambling house forced him to come to ask for debts. After he finished sending the money, he put his ideas on the Hubo Temple and insisted that he was a blessing in the Hubo Temple. He made a merit box and said that Hubo asked everyone to donate money for incense.
How could the villagers believe it?
But he dared not speak out, but he was so angry that he was so fist-and-footed. I heard that he had beaten his superiors when he joined the army in his early years, so he was kicked out.
Such a person is really no different from a disaster. One can beat a group of people with a stick in his hand. Even the young people in the village can't beat him by working together.
Therefore, the villagers were so angry that they forced them to donate incense money this time.
After Ao Yan got to know it, he felt something strange, that is, Changming?
Shouldn't he stayed in the temple to guard it? How could such a thing happen? No matter how powerful this old man Xin is, he is just a mortal. It wouldn't be easy to punish him with ever-savvy means?
"At this time, Changming may wander around the village and collect his experiences."
Ao Yan frowned and thought, if he was not here forever and wanted to let this guy continue like this, wouldn’t his Hubo Temple have a bad reputation?
"This is not possible. Xiangliu Lake is my territory, which is equivalent to my administrative territory. Hubo Temple is my incense foundation, which is equivalent to my source of salary and achievements. Both are indispensable. Now I have finally unified the territory, but I didn't expect the foundation to be unstable again."
Ao Yan swept his eyes over the old man Xin, and then he thought: "That's right, incense money is a considerable income, at least stable. However, the main thing is that the temple Zhu is the identity. With this identity, you can take charge of the temple with legitimate name. Although taking this old man Xin for your own use is also a good choice, but-"
Ao Yan shook his head, thinking that this guy has a bad reputation and has to do many things by himself.
Therefore, he has to do the seat of this temple blessing by himself no matter what.
If that's the case, then this bully, Old Man Xin, will have to take some effort to drive it away.
As soon as he thought of this, Ao Yan suddenly smiled, his physical strength and speed increased a lot, and he could take this opportunity to try it.
At this time, Old Man Xin carried the red paint merit box and walked out. People on both sides put copper coins, some threes and some fives.
A fat old man threw in a piece, and Old Man Xin suddenly glared at him, scaring the people around him so much that they dared not breathe. The fat old man was almost scared to sit on the ground. After trembling and taking out another penny, Old Man Xin had not left yet.
The fat old man was sweating profusely and took out another penny with great distress.
Old Man Xin turned around and stood in front of him in his merit box. His eyes were looking down from a high place. His huge figure covered the vicious sunlight, adding a shadow to the fat old man's already bloodless face.
Ao Yan discovered an extremely strange phenomenon at this time. Not only did all the villagers not have sympathy, but they were even more gloating.
"Huh? What's going on?"
He was having a question in his heart, and he heard someone whispering: "Hey! This is great! The evil man is a bad man, and this old man Ge has always been stingy for the iron cock. Now that he has been plucked, he doesn't know what it is to save so much money in business."
"This thing is not brought by money even if you don't bring it to death. This rooster Ge deserves it now! Looking at the appearance of bully Xin, he must have bleeding heavily."
"Look at how distressed he looks, hehe! I can't understand it. This old man has been smart all his life, so why can't he think about it? Do you know, my old man asked him last time that he borrowed a piece of ginger, and the old man actually asked for the door the next day. My old man paid him back, but he didn't expect that he said that the ginger was only two taels, and the one who lent it to my old man was three taels. Tsk tsk, that day my old man was so angry that he bought a basket of ginger and threw it to his door."
"Don't let it go, he's just like that..."
"Uh... I didn't expect that Xiangliu Village, which looks extremely ordinary, still has so many strange things hidden." Ao Yan felt a little funny.
Curiously, he activated Fu Zhao and wanted to see how the karmic debts were on Xin Eubi and Ge Gongji.
It didn't matter when he saw this, his face immediately became weird.
It turns out that the two of them have a strong longevity fire on their heads, the Xin bully’s wealth fire is strong, and the Ge rooster’s blessing fire is strong. In addition, they have another common feature, that is, there is a red cloud on their heads.
"Xiangyun? This is strange. A bully and a stingy man, with a bad reputation and doesn't look like a good person. How come he has the support of Xiangrui?"
After a long time of thinking, Ao Yan simply didn't think about it, so he waited for the situation to develop, and secretly thought about how to take the position of the temple to himself.
"You are so fierce..."
Finally, Ge Gongji, who had paid two cents, couldn't bear it anymore. He took out another three cents with a painful expression like cutting his flesh. He reluctantly threw it into the box several times.
"Hmph!" Xin Eibu snorted coldly, lifted the box and turned around, and continued to move forward.
Seeing this, the villagers learned their lessons one by one, and even the rooster could be scraped out of three cents, let alone others.
Soon, Xin Erbian walked up to Ao Yan, his huge body blocked the sun, and the shadow covered Ao Yan's thin body that looked beautiful.
"Um?!"
Xin Erbian's voice was slightly angry, and he wanted to mention Ao Yan, but this sound came from his throat, as if a faint thunder sounded. Ao Yan was not scared, but scared others.
After a terrified sound of trembling, the others left one after another, and Ao Yan suddenly became spaced.
