The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

Chapter 727 - 727: Observing the World from a Well, Seeing the Universe in the Sun and Moon

In the early morning, Li Muyang found a new driver in the city and paid him to travel to the next destination.

Although hiring a driver alone was expensive, the last exorcism had earned him a substantial amount of Silver Coin, and now Li Muyang’s purse was full.

Sitting in the drafty carriage, Li Muyang watched as the carriage left the city, which housed six Evil Spirits, and headed towards the distant horizon.

However, not long after leaving the city, a familiar figure appeared on the desolate road ahead.

Dressed in a brownish-yellow monk robe, holding a tin staff in the left hand and a living human head in the right.

Despite the eerie and frightening appearance, the driver was extremely excited when he saw it, immediately stopping the carriage and kneeling to worship.

“Humble Ding Liang offers his respects to the Saint Monk.”

The driver evidently knew the reputation of the headless Saint Monk. Seeing the Saint Monk appear, he excitedly bowed repeatedly, begging for a divine blessing.

And Miao Fengjun, holding the human head, chuckled, stretched out his tin staff in a very charlatan manner, touched the driver’s shoulder and performed a blessing gesture.

Then he turned to Li Muyang in the carriage and smiled, saying: “Little disciple, I too am leaving this place. Unfortunately, the direction I am heading is opposite to yours.”

“Upon this parting, who knows when we will meet again.”

“Before parting, I have a word of advice for you.”

Miao Fengjun’s cosplay of a high monk was incredibly lifelike and flawless.

Li Muyang got out of the carriage and said, “Please speak, Saint Monk.”

He wanted to know what trickery this old demon was up to.

Seeing Miao Fengjun gently tapping his tin staff, he laughed heartily and sang:

“One views the world from within a well, sees the universe in the sun and moon.”

“As you walk in this world, what you should fear most, little disciple, is not evil spirits, but living people!”

“Hahaha…”

The Saint Monk-like Miao Fengjun left with a big laugh, his demeanor elegant and unrestrained.

The slowly rising driver, Ding Liang, had eyes full of admiration.

“Saint Monk Liao Kong truly is like the legends say, not a man of the Mortal World…”

The driver was completely charmed by Miao Fengjun’s unrestrained and sacred demeanor.

Li Muyang, however, frowned deeply, watching the old demon’s deliberately nonchalant departing figure, pondering his words.

In this world, one should fear not the evil spirits but the living people?

What is this old demon implying?

The carriage quickly resumed its journey, with Li Muyang sitting inside and contemplating.

And because of Miao Fengjun’s parting words, the driver’s attitude towards Li Muyang improved tremendously; he even offered to return the paid fare, claiming it was improper to accept money from a friend of the Saint Monk.

After two days of travel, Li Muyang reached his next destination.

The place was a small mountain village. Upon entering the village, the system detected traces of Evil Spirits and prompted a mission arrow.

Opening the system map, there were three red dots indicating the presence of Evil Spirits both inside and outside the village.

Upon seeing Li Muyang, a passerby carrying a corpse, the villagers approached excitedly.

“Excuse me, are you Master Puppet Master?”

“There have been Evil Spirits here in our village! They’ve already claimed several lives!”

The villagers surrounded the carriage like finding a savior.

After inquiring upon disembarking from the carriage, Li Muyang learned that the Evil Spirits had been appearing in this village for more than ten days.

After the first victim appeared, the villagers hurriedly went to the city to seek a Puppet Master, hoping the Puppet Master would come here to exorcise demons.

However, more than ten days passed, and the few villagers who were sent to find a Puppet Master still hadn’t returned, and three more lives were lost in the village.

At this moment, upon seeing Li Muyang, who they suspected to be a Puppet Master, the villagers felt as if they had seen a lifesaver and were extremely excited.

They hurriedly presented a heavy money bag, which was a collection of Silver Coin from the villagers, already prepared in advance according to market prices.

But this time, Li Muyang did not accept the money.

He weighed the bag in his hand and shook his head: “I’m in a good mood this time, I won’t take your money, I’ll exorcise the demon for free.”

Li Muyang threw the money bag back to them.

He didn’t disdain the practice of Black Feather Pavilion, who charged money for exorcism, although he also respected those Puppet Masters who exorcised demons without charging.

This time, he did not take money simply because he saw that the village was rather poor and he himself was not short of money for the time being.

He just took the opportunity to do a good deed.

Anyway, he didn’t charge money in the last town he exorcised demons in.

Such an act from Li Muyang naturally delighted the villagers, who immediately prepared chickens and sheep for slaughter, warmly entertaining Li Muyang and the driver.

As the driver was accompanying Li Muyang, he was also surrounded by villagers and boasted with pride.

“Our Puppet Master here is no ordinary Puppet Master. He is a good friend of Liao Kong Saint Monk!”

“Aiming for high virtues and full of compassion, I am influenced by the Puppet Master himself, and that’s why I drove him here for free.”

“The senior had already heard that there was an Evil Spirit causing trouble here, and he came from afar specifically to help you exorcise it.”

“Otherwise, why would we come to such a remote and barren place with our carriage?”

The driver boasted, half bluffing and half guessing, believing he understood Li Muyang’s intentions of travelling through mountains and valleys to this place.

In his boasting, he didn’t forget to praise himself, saying that he brought the Puppet Master here for free, also contributing to the exorcism of the Evil Spirit.

After he finished speaking, the villagers were even more grateful, many of them running to Li Muyang to kowtow in front of him, which left Li Muyang somewhat speechless.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Muyang had no choice but to stop the increasingly enthusiastic scene by saying, “It’s getting dark, you all should go to sleep, I need to prepare for the exorcism.”

“Everyone must keep their doors and windows closed, and do not come out no matter what noises you hear.”

When Li Muyang gave the order, the villagers dared not disobey, and they all hurriedly scattered like birds, frantically returning to their homes.

Only the driver, Ding Liang, who was still munching greasily, stood with a steel pitchfork he had gotten from somewhere, seriously standing beside Li Muyang.

Li Muyang frowned and looked at the guy, saying, “Why are you standing here?”

Ding Liang immediately straightened up and said seriously: “I’m staying to help you as a protector! I heard that when a Puppet Master slays an Evil Spirit, their physical body becomes very vulnerable, it’s best to have strong men around to protect.”

Ding Liang’s words made Li Muyang give him a slant look from top to bottom.

Though not feeble, he was far from strong, obviously malnourished resulting in a weak body.

Li Muyang shook his head speechlessly: “You protect, what protection?”

He was about to tell Ding Liang to get lost, but before he could speak, three red dots suddenly appeared outside the courtyard gate on the map.

These three specters were different from the specters he had encountered before, as this time they took the initiative to come to him.

And they knew how to cooperate.

Seeing the three red dots already at the courtyard gate, Li Muyang furrowed his brows.

“Forget it, you can stay.”

Giving Ding Liang a glance, Li Muyang stood up: “Stand behind me later, don’t run around or make any sudden moves.”
