Chapter 10: His Fame Spreads Through Wei City!
“Daoist Master Yanchu’s gone mad! Quick, someone restrain him!” a panicked onlooker shouted.
Bang!
Someone behind him kicked him hard, knocking him to the ground.
“Are you blind? Daoist Master Yanchu just eliminated an evil spirit and rid the people of a menace!”
“That’s right! Daoist Master Yanchu is truly a Daoist master of Wei City. Having him here is a blessing for all of us!”
Many of those present were local townsfolk. Daoist Magistrate Xuancheng of Qingyun Temple was known for being upright and often helped people dispel evil.
And now the current abbot, Daoist Master Yanchu, was a gifted and accomplished young man. Many had heard of how he once drove out a spirit for the third young lady of the Chen family.
He was truly someone with real skill.
Especially after witnessing that ghostly paper effigy reveal its true form upon death, no one doubted any longer that Li Yanchu had been performing an exorcism.
“That’s right! It was I who invited Daoist Master Yanchu here to specifically deal with ghosts and monsters. If not for him, that foul spirit might’ve taken my life!” the innkeeper said, still shaken.
In an instant, everyone turned admiring gazes toward Li Yanchu. Even the man who had shouted that he was crazy quickly changed his tune. As long as I apologize fast enough, no one will kick me again!
