    Gongs and drums are loud, firecrackers are blasting, red banners can be seen everywhere, and yellow talismans must be posted at every door.

    This is Guzhang County, the annual gathering of Taoist priests to exorcise corpses.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Once this activity started, it was in full swing, the atmosphere was high, and the effect was surprisingly good. It brought huge economic benefits to Guzhang County. Now after several sessions, Guzhang County's economy has almost climbed several levels.

    Such a result made the local government grin from ear to ear. It spared no effort to safeguard every gathering held by the corpse exorcists and ensure that every gathering was perfect.

    Today, another annual gathering of corpse exorcists is coming.

    With the success and publicity of the previous several times, this year's corpse exorcism rally was larger than ever before. The number of tourists attracted increased by tens of thousands every day, making the small county town almost full of population.  The degree of overwhelm.

    When Jiang Le arrived with his curly-haired mother and daughter, she couldn't help but be stunned by the lively atmosphere.

    "Uncle, it's so lively here. My mother brought me here once before, but there weren't so many people at that time." Beibei held her mother in one hand and Jiang Le in the other, with deep excitement in her big eyes.

    Children love to be lively. The more people there are, the happier they will be.

    Jiang Le came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's better to have more people. Come on, let's see what fun things there are in this gathering of corpse exorcists."

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of the street, you can see that every local family is wearing the clothes of the Republic of China, and most of the shops sell Taoist items.  There are magic talismans, talisman pens, bells, and peach wood swords.  Some people also sell glutinous rice and eggs with weird names.  And red dates and other things.

    Such a novel thing attracted a large number of tourists to watch, and the good business made every boss smile from ear to ear.

    "Ah, zombie!" Suddenly Beibei exclaimed, and couldn't help but press her body against Jiang Le's body.

    Jiang Le smiled and said: "Where are there zombies here?"

    "Yes, uncle, look." Beibei pointed to a shop.

    Jiang Le looked over.  I found out that this shop sells sculptures.  And the carvings are still zombies and Taoist priests.

    Looking carefully, Jiang Le couldn't help but be a little surprised.

    Those zombies and Taoist priests vary in size, the big ones are no different from real people, and the small ones are only the size of fists, but each one is lifelike and lifelike.

    "It's so scary. This zombie is exactly the same as what I dreamed about." Beibei said with some fear.

    Jiang Le touched Beibei's head and reassured: "This is fake, don't be afraid."

    After saying that, Jiang Le walked to the front of the store and picked up a small zombie as big as a fist to play with.

    This carving is a little zombie, Q version, it looks cute, but there are some things on it.  But it gives people the illusion of reality, as if this little zombie is indeed real, or that it once did exist.

    Slowly, Jiang Le raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an interesting smile.

    At this time, a young clerk in the store greeted and sent away a few tourists who bought zombie carvings. He walked to Jiang Le and said with a smile: "This Taoist priest must be here to participate in the Taoist priests' meeting to exorcise corpses, but the meeting is tomorrow."  Right. Are you interested in buying some carvings?"

    Jiang Le raised his hand and asked, "How much does this cost?"

    The young clerk smiled and said: "One hundred and eighty."

    "It's quite expensive!" Jiang Leyi raised his eyebrows.

    The young clerk immediately said seriously: "This Taoist priest, I am not boasting about Haikou. These are all artificial carvings, carved one by one with one knife. The carver is also a well-known master. Just for this knife craftsmanship, it is worth a hundred."  , look at this material again, it is carved from our local peach tree in western Hunan, the Taoist priest is also an expert, does he know the function of peach tree? "

    Hearing what the young clerk said was mysterious, Jiang Le burst into laughter.

    When a Taoist priest hears these words, for the sake of his own status, he will definitely say it a few times to show that he doesn¡¯t understand what peach wood is.

    But Jiang Le is a true ascetic and understands that peach wood can ward off evil spirits, but it also depends on how you play with it.

    Ordinary peach wood, just cut off from the peach tree, contains the energy of life, which can ward off evil spirits and drive away bad luck.

    But once the life energy in the peach wood is gone, it is no different from ordinary wood, unless the ascetics carve the peach wood into wooden talismans to preserve the life energy in it, and the effect may be maintained for several years.  But it can't last long.

    Jiang Le couldn¡¯t see the peach wood carving into a little zombie even if he used his magic eye.What's the use of it?  This is obviously an ordinary wood carving.

    Glancing around the store, Jiang Le looked at the young clerk and said, "The carvings in this store were all made by your boss, right?"

    The young clerk was surprised and said: "How does the Taoist know? Can the Taoist know how to calculate?"

    Jiang Le smiled and said nothing, lowered his head and said to Beibei: "Girl, brother, can you buy a Taoist carving for you, so that you are not afraid of zombies?"

    Beibei said happily: "Really?"

    Jiang Le nodded and said to the young clerk: "Do you sell all the sculptures in your shop?"

    The young clerk smiled and nodded: "When we open the door for business, as long as we put it on display, it will naturally be sold."

    Jiang Le said: "Okay, I'll pick one, but you are not allowed to deceive customers or break your promise."

    The young clerk's face was calm and he said proudly: "Definitely not. The Taoist priest can also ask about it. In this street, my safe carving shop has a good reputation."

    Jiang Le put down the zombie carving in his hand and walked into the shop.

    Without looking at the other large and small carvings on display, Jiang Le went directly to the divine cage in the store, pointed at a small thumb-sized Taoist carving next to the half-meter Tianshi statue and said, "I want this."

    "Huh?" The young shop assistant was stunned. There were so many large and small carvings in the store, and each one looked very perfect. The Taoist priest actually didn't want it, but wanted to put it in the divine cage?

    He looked carefully and found that this small Taoist priest carving was black and red in color and was covered with a layer of dust. It was a bit dirty. Normally, he really didn't notice this little thing.

    "This one is so dirty, how about buying a new one?" the young clerk asked a little embarrassed.

    Jiang Le shook his head and said: "No, I want this. If it can be placed in the divine cage, it must have received incense. It must be supernatural. I bought it for my child to keep it safe."

    The young clerk's eyes lit up, and he nodded in a mysterious manner: "That's right. The divine cage statue in our store has been blessed by an expert, and the incense is constantly burning day and night. It must have a spirit after many years, but this spiritual thing  , but a bit more expensive than ordinary ones.¡±

    Jiang Le smiled and said, "You name a price."

    The young clerk looked at the small, dirty Taoist carving and thought to himself, it¡¯s so small, it¡¯s not good if it¡¯s too high, but if it¡¯s paired with something spiritual, wouldn¡¯t it be a disadvantage if it¡¯s too low?

    "Let's do this. I think you are also a Taoist master. I will give you a fair price, ten thousand yuan." After finishing speaking, the young clerk looked at Jiang Le seriously, wanting to make a counter-offer based on Jiang Le's expression.

    "Okay, deal." Unexpectedly, Jiang Le agreed without saying a word.

    The young clerk was stunned for a moment, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

    I went and made a mistake. This man in a Taoist robe was actually such a rich man. If I had known, if I had added tens of thousands more, I might have been able to seal the deal.

    Jiang Le agreed happily and paid even more happily. He reached into the yellow cloth bag and quietly took out a bunch of money from the Luobao money space. He handed it to the young clerk, then picked up the dirty little Taoist priest and took it with him.  With a sly smile, he quickly left the carving shop.
