A group of missionaries approached, dressed in gray shirts and black trousers, their hands clasped tightly against their chests, and stopped in front of Uncle Nine with synchronized steps.
The leader was an elderly man with a receding hairline, wearing glasses and a faint smile on his face.
"Father Wu, you've come at the perfect time!" Upon seeing the newcomer, the town mayor immediately beamed and stepped forward, solemnly introducing him to Uncle Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, this is Father Wu, who has come specifically to take over the church..."
Father Wu nodded slightly and said, "We were fortunate to have Uncle Jiu's protection before, but there's no need for that now. We will use holy water to purify the yin energy in this church and give everyone peace of mind."
As he spoke, he nodded to the missionaries behind him.
The missionaries went straight to the church door and tore off the seals and charms pasted on it.
"Wait..." Uncle Nine tried to step forward to stop them, but the town mayor grabbed him and forcibly stopped him.
"Oh, Uncle Jiu, don't worry. With Father Wu here, how dare those demons and monsters come near? Aren't they afraid of God?"
Hearing the mayor's words, Uncle Jiu felt a surge of anger.
God?
If he believed in God, would he need to carry these things around for protection and to ward off evil spirits?
I don't know what possessed these people, that they would disregard the risks and insist on reopening the church.
However, his voice alone was no match for the town mayor's, and with Father Wu and a group of missionaries interfering, the dissenting voices were quickly drowned out by the tide.
Snap——
The church doors were finally pushed open!
As a gust of wind, which had been trapped for three years, blew out from inside, light shone into the spacious church.
"Oh..."
Su Feng stood not far away, and frowned as he felt the wind blowing in his face.
This aura is extraordinary...
Just as Uncle Nine said, it's yin energy, very heavy yin energy!
But clearly, apart from Su Feng and Uncle Nine, almost no one present noticed.
"From today onwards, the church is officially open to the public. If you are interested, you are welcome to come and worship every day. Almighty Lord, welcome to all of you!"
Father Wu stood on the high steps, facing the crowd below, with his arms outstretched.
The sunlight shone on him, making him appear like Jesus, receiving the worship and attention of the crowd below.
"It's unbearable to watch!" Uncle Nine shook his head angrily, then turned and left with his two apprentices.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw Su Feng standing behind him.
"Young Master Su... what are you doing here?"
……
Inside the teahouse, Qiu Shengwencai, like a starving ghost reincarnated, frantically showed off the chicken feet and spare ribs on the table.
Only Uncle Nine and Su Feng were discussing serious matters.
"This is infuriating!" Uncle Nine slapped his thigh and complained through gritted teeth. "I don't know what went wrong with the mayor. He clearly agreed that the church could not be opened until I confirmed that the yin energy had been dispelled, but today he took it upon himself to do so."
Su Feng smiled and took a sip of tea. "There's no need to get angry. There are some things that neither you nor I can change. We should just do our best."
They are not God, much less an omnipotent deity; they are merely exorcists, or to put it bluntly, "working people" serving the people.
Perhaps for some people, this profession is noble and great.
But in most people's eyes, they are still just ordinary people struggling to make ends meet.
Without power or influence, one naturally pales in comparison to the wealthy who are superior to others.
Let's treat today as a game of power.
After all, with the town mayor standing up against it, nothing they said mattered.
"Young Master Su!" Uncle Jiu suddenly thought of something, looked at Su Feng, and said sincerely, "Why don't you go and talk to the mayor? With Young Master Su's strength, he can definitely eliminate the yin energy in the church."
"Heh, even now, Uncle Jiu, you still want to bail them out?" Su Feng chuckled with interest.
It's no wonder that Uncle Nine has always been his idol, precisely because of his unique sense of justice.
No matter how many rumors and gossip he faces, no matter how many cold looks he receives, even from those who have spat on him...
Whenever faced with matters of principle, he is still willing to repay evil with kindness and put saving lives first.
If it were Su Feng, he wouldn't bother with the town mayor's semi-forced exclusion today, ignoring all the hidden threats.
You can't stop someone who's determined to court death.
“Young Master Su, I’m not joking. This matter is not simple…” Uncle Jiu suddenly frowned. “For the past few years, I have been searching for a way to eliminate the yin energy in the church, but I have never been able to find the root cause.”
"We've tried some formations, but they don't seem to work."
Uncle Nine scratched his head, looking quite troubled.
Su Feng saw through it but didn't say anything, "Then isn't the wrong method being used?"
The church is a Western place. Since it comes from the West, how could the local formations and Taoist arts possibly work?
Uncle Nine paused, then looked up at him. "Young Master Su means..."
"I don't mean anything by it." Su Feng shrugged and smiled. "I came to Jiuquan Town this time with no intention of getting involved in anything else. I'm just here to relax and have some fun."
Uncle Nine was speechless and could only nod with a wry smile.
Sometimes he really couldn't understand what Su Feng was thinking.
He clearly possesses extraordinary talent and exceptional abilities; he should use them to help more people.
But Su Feng, unfortunately, preferred a carefree and leisurely life, detached from worldly affairs... This mindset left him helpless.
Never mind...
After all, Su Feng was not a disciple of Maoshan, so he had no obligation to share the heavy responsibility of exorcising demons.
It seems that Uncle Nine could only lament his own incompetence.
If a way to eliminate the evil spirits in the church had been found sooner, it wouldn't be in this state now.
Seeing Uncle Jiu's worried expression, Su Feng couldn't help but sigh. "Does Uncle Jiu know where the mayor lives?"
Uncle Nine's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked up. "Young Master Su, does that mean you've agreed?"
"It wouldn't hurt to give it a try, but I'm just an ordinary businessman. It's hard to say whether I can convince the town mayor," Su Feng said softly.
"It's alright! As long as Young Master Su is willing to step in and help, everything can be resolved!" Uncle Nine said, standing up impatiently and glaring at Qiu Shengwencai, who was still happily eating. "Stop eating, let's set off now!"
……
The town mayor's residence is not too far away.
After walking through a few streets, you can see the grand mansion standing in the distance!
The extravagant decor and unique courtyard design exude the grandeur and extravagance of the wealthy.
Even Su Feng couldn't help but take a few more glances at it, memorizing the design so that he could find some time to renovate the Su residence properly.
Following the servant into the inner hall, the mayor was talking to someone at the tea table.
Judging from that broad back, Su Feng recognized the man's identity at a glance.
"Hey! What are you doing here?"
As soon as I stepped through the door, I heard that familiar shouting from the side.
Su Feng turned around and saw David, whom he had met at the Hunan restaurant.
However, he was not surprised. David was the mayor's son; if he wasn't here, he could be in heaven.
"Oh? It's you?" David saw Su Feng and immediately strode forward. "You dare to come here on your own initiative? What, are you here to apologize?"
Su Feng sneered, "The person I'm looking for isn't you."
"Hmph! Then there's nothing more to say! This is my home, get out of here!" David ordered directly. "And you, you stinking Taoist priest, don't you dare dirty my place!"
He was about to reach out and push Su Feng out the door.
Strangely, no matter how hard he tried, Su Feng remained motionless, standing perfectly straight.
As if he had seen a ghost, David swallowed hard and took two steps back.
The commotion at the door naturally attracted the attention of the others inside.
The person who was talking to the town mayor looked up and saw that it was Su Feng, and immediately shouted out.
"Oh dear! Young Master Su!"
Jiang Dalong jogged over enthusiastically and grasped Su Feng's hands tightly. "I didn't expect Young Master Su to come to Jiuquan Town! What a coincidence!"
The imposing and arrogant warlord Jiang Dalong was like a humble servant in front of Su Feng, showing him great concern and care.
This scene shocked David so much that he almost fell to the ground in surprise.
This kid actually knows General Jiang?
Who exactly is this person that makes General Jiang have to fawn over and smile at them?
A sense of fear and dread arose spontaneously, and the palm of his hand that had just shoved Su Feng was now burning hot, making David break out in a cold sweat.
"I'm here to talk to the town mayor about some things," Su Feng said casually.
Jiang Dalong then realized that he had been somewhat out of line, so he quickly straightened his back, turned to look at the town mayor, and said, "Mayor, these are my friends, very important friends. You should know what to do, right?"
The town mayor was already puzzled as to why Uncle Nine was here, but now, after hearing Jiang Dalong's words, he felt as if a fog had descended upon him, leaving him completely confused.
But the warlord's words were law, and he dared not disobey. He quickly nodded and bowed in agreement, then personally prepared tea for four people and invited Su Feng and the others to sit down.
As if they were at home, Jiang Dalong and Su Feng chatted about everyday things after taking their seats.
When talking about his two-month-old son, he smiled so broadly that his eyes disappeared, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Su Feng, calling him "Young Master" this and "Young Master" that.
Throughout the entire process, the mayor and David and his son were on pins and needles, trembling with fear!
One concern was that Uncle Nine was actually connected to General Chiang.
One was worried about Su Feng's mysterious and powerful background, fearing that he would be punished later.
Neither of them dared to interrupt, and could only nod in agreement.
