Chapter 26: Spiritual rewards are the main focus
Everyone conducted a lot of searches in Jiangxin Village, but in the end there was no sign of the demon.
Noon,
The sun shines on the fields, bathing in the warmth of the earth.
Only then did An Zhi realize that the spirit snake was missing.
"Snake treasure, snake treasure, are you hiding it?"
"It's over, it's over, Snake Baby, don't let anything happen to you."
Anzhi searched for him in Jiangxin Village for a long time. Even the village chief Niu Benben's house was turned upside down, but he couldn't find it.
At this moment, Kui Ran appeared under the big tree opposite, with a smile on his face that could not be concealed.
I wipe,
A terrifying scene immediately flashed in An Zhi's mind. Was the spirit snake captured by Kui Ran?
With this doubt, An Zhi stepped forward quickly and grabbed the wine gourd from Kui Ran's waist without saying a word.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Kui Ran felt confused.
An Zhi opened the bottle cap and poured the wine cleanly. He found nothing, so he asked, "Tell me, did you catch my snake treasure?"
Monk Kui Ran Zhanger was confused. He was indeed very interested in the snake, but he had not touched it all morning.
"Me? I'm not as dirty as you. I take other people's things without telling them." After saying this, Kui Ran dropped the remaining few drops of wine from the wine gourd into his mouth in distress.
An Zhi asked depressedly: "Then why were you laughing just now?"
Kui Ran was surprised, are all women like this? He said with a bit of laughter and tears: "Does it mean that it's me when I smile? Hahahaha, ridiculous, ridiculous. I'm laughing now. Doesn't it look like me? Hahahaha."
Facing Kui Ran's strange aura, An Zhi was also very depressed. She turned around anxiously to look for him again.
Before the spirit snake was found, the two were invited into the village ancestral hall by the villagers.
This is where important matters are handled in the village,
Today is a special day in Jiangxin Village. The river demon that endangers the safety of the village was captured by two young people. The village chief must fulfill his promise.
Kui Ran and An Zhi were surrounded by villagers and invited to the ancestral hall with flowers.
This is the first time in Shen Anzhi's life that she has been recognized, and it is recognized by so many people. She feels extremely honored.
Then there was the sound of crackling firecrackers.
After the sound of firecrackers, the two villagers carried the two stone figures to the ancestral hall.
Niu Benben: "Fellows, today, Shen Anzhi from Sanqing Palace and Kui Ran from Wugong Mountain helped our village get rid of demons. They are the great benefactors of our village. To express our gratitude, we have statues for them at the entrance of the village."
statue! Kui Ran almost laughed angrily: "This, this is me? These are clearly two Shi Tuo Tuo."
An Zhi almost fainted when he saw this. It was just a lump of stone. The top was small like a head and the bottom was big like a body. It had no eyes or nose, not even limbs. This, this was a statue!
"Haha." Kui Ran said to Village Chief Niu with a bit of embarrassment: "Village Chief, don't deal with these useless things, cash the reward, just as I said before, I don't want twenty taels of silver, just five taels of silver. Bring it.”
When Niu Benben heard this, he frowned and said: "Oh, little brother, talking about money is too foreign. You are young and have a bright future. You have to look further. The recognition of you by the villagers is endless." price.”
"Ah!" Kui Ran's jaw dropped in shock, and he looked at An Zhi beside him and said angrily: "I don't want to give you a cent together."
Niu Benben: "Are we the kind of people you are talking about? If I don't give it, the villagers will not agree."
After finishing speaking, Niu Benben looked at the villagers and said: "Tang Shaoxia and Kui Shaoxia are our great benefactors in Jiangxin Village. We had just discussed it and paid five taels of silver according to the announcement, but I think it is right to talk about money. The disapproval of the two young heroes insults their abilities. I suggest that everyone express their gratitude in their own way. "Shen Anzhi has never experienced this, let alone faced hundreds of villagers surrounding him to praise him. , she stood on the stage stupidly, and could only smile and nod at the villagers. She felt very fulfilled.
"Thank you, these are what we demon hunters should do." An Zhi nodded his thanks to everyone for their recognition and praise.
This made Kui Ran beside him very anxious. He crooked An Zhi with his arm and said, "Why are you giggling? They don't want to give money."
"Well, I know. I think everyone's approval is the most important." An Zhi nodded proudly: "It is our duty to eliminate demons and bring peace to the people. I don't think it's anything."
"Okay..."
“Pa bang bang…”
An Zhi's words immediately aroused the cheers and affirmation of hundreds of villagers, and everyone's palms were calloused.
The smile on Kui Ran's face gradually solidified, and she muttered in her heart, it's over, this girl has been killed.
In this way, on this trip to catch monsters, the five taels of silver mentioned in the notice were not even a dime, but I got two roosters, three boxes of eggs, four boxes of oranges, and the two statues at the entrance of the village without any A stone man with facial features.
"Hahahaha." An Zhi looked at the two stone men and suddenly laughed, and asked: "Ran Kui, which one do you think is me? There are no noses, eyes or ears, hahahaha."
Kui Ran was extremely depressed. Not only was Shen Anzhi praised by the villagers, but he even called his own name wrong, so he said depressedly: "Miss, my name is Kui Ran. Kui Ran, I don't know Ran Kui. If it weren't for you today, I won’t get a penny either.”
Shen Anzhi was in a very good mood at this time. It was the first time in his life that he was recognized. It doesn't matter if the stone statue doesn't look like him, as long as he thinks it is. "Okay, I'll give you my share of these eggs and oranges. ”
"That's what you said." Kui Ran was not polite and immediately turned around and headed towards the ferry.
In less than half an hour, the buyer from the ferry came and bought them all for ten cents.
Stand at the intersection of the ferry, go straight to Jingdezhen, go up right and enter Fengcheng.
"Shen Anzhi, let's say goodbye. Don't let me meet you again in the future." Kui Ran packed his luggage after saying that.
An Zhibai glanced: "I don't want to see you yet."
After that, the two parted ways...
Although he has a sense of accomplishment, Shen Anzhi wants to cry because the spirit snake has not been found until now.
Just when she was at a loss, Anzhi finally discovered the spirit snake in the woods in front of the ferry.
"Snake treasure, snake treasure, you, where have you been? I'm so worried." An Zhi held the spirit snake in his hand and kissed it again and again.
The spirit snake fiddled with the two tentacles on its head and said: "Haha, I have some good news for you."
"What's the good news?" An Zhi looked at it.
Spirit Snake: "I found out that the monster that stole the river monster's seal was in Jingdezhen, and it was the porcelain monster."
"Oh, that's it." An Zhi suddenly had a new idea: "Let's go to the town and have a look."
Spirit Snake: "Okay, Master, don't be soft-hearted next time you see monsters. Didn't Master Menghong teach you in your dream? You must be ruthless when facing monsters, and you must not be kind. They are monsters."
……
An Zhi and Ling She happily left for Jingdezhen.
After they left, Kui Ran emerged from behind a big tree, and he followed closely...
