Taoism is very particular; the title of immortal is not given lightly.
Ordinary people may call them gods, but they themselves cannot accept that title.
So as not to hinder one's spiritual practice.
Lin Xuan withdrew the golden light from his body and stepped forward to help the villagers up, explaining that he was just a cultivator who was only slightly stronger.
They are not gods or immortals.
He is not yet worthy of that title!
It took a lot of time to help everyone up and explain things.
But this didn't do much good. Many villagers still believed that Lin Xuan was a deity descended to earth, and they looked at him with awe and worship.
It's not that they haven't met Taoist practitioners before; Uncle Ying is an old friend of theirs.
But where can you find a cultivator whose body radiates golden light and whose sword emits blue light?
Many speculated that Lin Xuan's refusal to admit it was probably because he himself didn't know he was a celestial being descended to earth, or that he was simply being modest.
People on Hong Kong Island have always believed in gods, spirits, and ghosts.
Moreover, Zhao Family Village is not a large village; most of the people who remain in the village are elderly, and they have hardly left in recent years.
Having witnessed such a miracle, how could one not believe that Lin Xuan was a deity?
In short, it took a lot of effort to get Village Chief Zhao and his group to speak properly.
Uncle Ying explained to Lin Xuan what had happened and why so many bats had been attracted.
The situation was not much different from that in the movie, except that some bats moved the wooden sign indicating the water level, and when the villagers dug it up, they unearthed an ancient corpse.
Then the sky changed color and thunder rumbled.
When the news reached Uncle Ying, he brought a group of people to investigate, and then they were attacked by a large swarm of bats.
Next, Lin Xuan arrived.
"Unfortunately, that ancient corpse was definitely strange; it was most likely a zombie! It got away!"
"Although we've eliminated the bats this time, the zombie is still alive. If we don't get rid of it, there could be a serious problem!" Uncle Ying said, frowning.
He didn't sense much corpse energy from that zombie; instead, he felt a strange aura, which suggested it was some kind of mutant zombie!
Moreover, the fact that the other party could control bats to rescue him suggests that they are likely quite intelligent.
This time it escaped, and it probably won't be easy to catch it again.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked Uncle Ying to check on the lunch I was preparing, the water level wouldn't have been moved, and this wouldn't have happened." Village Chief Zhao secretly regretted his actions.
He can take care of lunch himself; there's no need to ask Uncle Ying to check on it.
As a result, this has caused such a huge disaster.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Since the other party can control bats to move the wooden sign, they probably have other ways to dig out the ancient corpse. It's just that moving the wooden sign is more convenient. You can't blame anyone else."
“Village Chief Zhao, this evil spirit may not be simple. The cracking of the dragon pearl in that stream is probably also related to it.”
As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, Uncle Ying said, "Lin Xuan, do you know something?"
Uncle Ying had a premonition that Lin Xuan definitely knew something he didn't.
Lin Xuan nodded, made no attempt to hide anything, and told everything he could.
"If I'm not mistaken, the ancient corpse buried here is one of the two priests who came here to preach decades ago."
"I found the remains of another priest near the church. He had various exorcism tools in his meditation room, and he committed suicide by crucifixion!"
"I suspect that the other party sealed this ancient corpse back then, and then committed suicide after discovering that he was infected with corpse poison and had no way to get rid of it."
Lin Xuan told him what he knew.
Just then, as the rain stopped, Baozhu, who had just run over from the church, heard this and nodded.
"I can vouch for that. The priest's skeleton is still in the meditation room, and there are quite a few garlic cloves and other things inside."
Baozhu had gone to the quiet room to take shelter from the rain, so he naturally knew that what Lin Xuan said was true.
Lin Xuan displayed incredible power, eliminating so many bats. In the eyes of the villagers, he was like a god, and everyone believed what he said.
With Baozhu as a witness, it's practically a done deal.
Uncle Ying nodded, "So it's a Western zombie!"
When he opened a Taoist temple in Kowloon, he encountered foreign ghosts. Although he had never seen a Western zombie, he had heard of them.
"Those bats were probably raised by Western zombies. In the mouths of those Westerners, they were called 'family members' or something."
Uncle Ying suddenly realized why the ancient corpse had an unusual aura; it turned out to be a foreigner turned zombie.
“Yes, Westerners call these zombies vampires, and they do have the ability to control bats!” Lin Xuan nodded and said.
This was his first time dealing with a vampire.
At this moment, the nuns from the church also arrived.
They demanded that the church not be burned down!
They had just learned that the strange occurrences in their village were caused by Western vampires, and the villagers had absolutely no affection for the church.
When the five nuns came over and shouted that the church must not be burned, the villagers were furious.
"No way! Western vampires originated from your church. Who knows what else might be inside? I think this church should be burned down!"
Baozhu chimed in, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. There were a lot of bats building nests in the church, and then they ran out of the church!"
"Look, there are so many bat carcasses. There must be bats that came from the church among them!"
When it came to bats, Maria and the four young nuns felt a little guilty, but burning down the church was definitely out of the question!
"Didn't you say there are Western vampires? Our Lord will deal with them. This is a test from the Lord for us!"
"We will surely defeat the evil!"
"Therefore, the church must not be burned down. Without the church, our Lord cannot deal with it!"
Maria was quite perceptive and believed she could save the church by dealing with the Western vampires.
Although she had little confidence in eliminating Western vampires.
She had heard of methods to eliminate evil spirits, including garlic, crosses, and holy water.
Maria wasn't actually sure whether these things would be useful.
But Mary believed that her Lord would save her.
"What master? No need. We have Daoist Lin Xuan here. We're not afraid of any monsters, whether Western or Eastern!"
Having just witnessed Lin Xuan's extraordinary prowess, the villagers were completely unmoved by Sister Maria's rhetoric.
They trusted Lin Xuan completely, believing him to be a god descended from heaven, and that Western vampires were nothing to worry about!
As soon as the villagers spoke, Sister Maria was stunned.
Is the church destined to be burned down today?
Dean Mary made the sign of the cross on her chest, bowed her head, and prayed to her Lord.
May our Lord appear quickly and protect the church from burning down!
Seeing this, Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "The church doesn't need to be burned. The strange thing was caused by Western vampires, and has nothing to do with the church."
Whether the church burns down or not is irrelevant; Lin Xuan doesn't want to waste time on this.
He only wanted to find the Western vampire, kill him, and gain merit points. As for the church, there was nothing inside, so Lin Xuan didn't care.
Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, the villagers of Zhao Family Village immediately fell silent.
If Lin Xuan says not to burn it, then we won't burn it!
They now have complete faith in Lin Xuan.
When the nuns heard that the church would not be burned down, they all looked at Lin Xuan with gratitude in their eyes.
Two of the younger nuns, in particular, blushed as they looked at Lin Xuan, seemingly lost in thought.
"Lin Xuan, are you confident you can find that Western vampire?" Uncle Ying leaned in and asked in a low voice.
Zhao Family Village is not large, but it is surrounded by small hills and forests. If the Western vampire does not come out to do evil and escapes into the mountains, or simply leaves the vicinity of Zhao Family Village, it will not be easy for them to find this Western vampire.
"Uncle-Master, don't worry!" Lin Xuan said with a light laugh.
Lin Xuan wasn't worried about the Western vampire escaping.
With the Tongtian Talisman, he could draw a third-order corpse talisman at any time and find the other party by their aura.
Western vampires are actually a variant of zombies, and many domestic Taoist methods are useless against them. Chicken blood ropes, glutinous rice, and the like cannot subdue Western vampires at all.
But as long as a Western vampire is a dead body, the Maoshan Corpse Talisman can always track it down!
Moreover, Western vampires are not afraid of some Chinese Taoist magic, but physical attacks are effective.
Whether it's the Azure Origin Sword Technique or the Lightning Thunder Fist, both can severely injure or even destroy it!
Furthermore, Western vampires also have many weaknesses, such as garlic, holy water, and crosses, which can kill or eliminate them.
Lin Xuan wasn't worried about finding a Western vampire.
