Yongle Town is a small town outside Chang'an City.
Although it is adjacent to Kyoto and has extremely convenient transportation, its population is only over 10,000.
It's not that Yongle Town doesn't want to expand its scale, it's just that the location here is too embarrassing.
Although there is convenient transportation here, it is less than half an hour away from Kyoto.
Most of the time, this was a transit station leading to Chang'an. In previous years, only those scholars who had no money and were rushing to take exams would choose to stay and rest here temporarily.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and Yongle Town is certainly no exception.
Not long ago, a monk from a different place suddenly came to Yongle Town, where we were familiar with each other.
Without excessive questioning and scrutiny, the townspeople could tell from the accent alone that the monk was not a native of Chang'an, but a traveling monk.
Normally, as long as the other party went to the county government to register, the people of Yongle Town wouldn't care so much.
But the problem is that not long after the wandering monk arrived in Yongle Town, various strange and evil incidents occurred frequently in Yongle Town.
At first, it was just the barking of local dogs kept in captivity at home, but later it gradually evolved into howling ghosts and wolves at night. Some townspeople even heard the faint cry of children...
The only good thing is that despite all kinds of weird and evil incidents happening constantly, there have never been any casualties in Yongle Town.
However, as time passed, the panicked Yongle Town decided to expel the monk.
As a result, they were surprised to find that they could not approach the Earth Temple where the wandering monk stayed.

"Why do you want me to go again?!"
Although Mo Laosan is the watchman in Yongle Town, he also behaves very boldly on weekdays.
But when he heard that the mayor planned to let him go to the nearby Earth Temple to persuade the wandering monk to leave Yongle Town, he couldn't help but complain.
"I, Mo Laosan, am indeed a person with three shortcomings and five shortcomings, but I can't just let me do all the messy things, right?"
The so-called three shortcomings refer to lack of money, power and life, while the five disadvantages refer to being widowed, widowed, lonely, alone and disabled.
In superstition, it is often believed that it is difficult for such people to survive. If they can survive to adulthood, it means that they have a hard life and are not afraid of ordinary monsters and evil spirits.
Of course Mo Laosan is not a disabled person, but he is indeed one of the few hard-working people in Yongle Town.
When I was young, I was almost dragged into the water by a water ghost...
When I was a little older, my parents passed away again...
When things finally turned around, due to a moment of negligence, his ancestral home was burned down...
In desperation, in order to have a place to live, Mo Laosan had to take over the original watchman's job and became the new watchman of Yongle Town.
"Third brother, it's not that my uncle will come to you for any trouble. In fact, it's more appropriate for you to go to this kind of thing."
He sighed helplessly. The mayor actually didn't want Mo Laosan to go.
After all, Mo Laosan lost his parents when he was young and grew up eating a lot of food. The mayor has long treated him as half a relative.
However, the noise caused by the wandering monk was so great that only Mo Laosan, who had three shortcomings and five shortcomings, could enter the earth temple.
"I have met that monk. He behaved very politely. He should be the kind of serious monk who has read the scriptures."
"You only need to go to the disciples and talk to him, and he will naturally understand."
When he said this, the mayor's voice paused slightly before continuing.
"If he insists on not wanting to leave, don't pester him too much. Someone from the government will naturally handle it when the time comes."
The seemingly kind-hearted mayor was not an easy person to talk to when he was young.
Under the premise that the wandering monk's confidence was temporarily unclear, the mayor's "courtesy first and then attack" strategy really couldn't find any fault.
As long as the monk dared to show the slightest hint of rejection, the mayor would have reason to go directly to the government to call for help and force the monk out of Yongle Town.
"Tsk, tsk, ginger is still hotter than ever!"
Immediately he heard the hidden meaning in the mayor's words. Mo Laosan was stunned at first, and then flattered him with joy.
"Uncle, how about I deliberately find trouble and drive that guy out of town?"
Hearing this, the mayor immediately glared at Mo Laosan and deliberately raised his voice to emphasize.
"Don't do those unnecessary things!"
"You just need to be responsible for informing the other party!"
The mayor knew Mo Laosan's character. If he allowed the other party to show off his will, this matter that could have been solved quietly would definitely become known to everyone.
"That monk is not an ordinary person. Be careful of getting into big trouble."
This time it was Mo Laosan's turn to be stunned.
Because in his impression, the mayor rarely seemed to show such a cautious attitude.
"Uncle, are the recent events in the town really related to that monk?"
No wonder Mo Laosan was so surprised. In fact, he didn't think at first that the evil incidents in the town were related to the monk.
To put it bluntly, Mo Laosan, who works on duty all year round, knows a little bit about all kinds of evil spirits in and outside the town.
In Mo Laosan's opinion, the various strange events that occurred in the town during this period were not so much caused by evil spirits as they were caused by the townspeople scaring themselves.
After all, there are so many evil spirits these days, but it is quite rare for evil spirits to never kill or harm anyone from beginning to end.
"Hey, don't ask so many questions, just remember not to provoke that monk."
Sighing deeply again, the mayor, who obviously knew something, just warned him like this.
"Uncle, even if this person is going to die, you have to let me die, right?"
How could Mo Laosan, who was bold by nature, let the mayor off like this? He quickly asked.
"I may not know what will happen this time. Isn't it good for you to hide it from me?"
After slightly rolling his eyes, the mayor did not continue to explain anything, but shouted very neatly.
"You kid, just go if you are told. Why is there all this nonsense!"
"Anyway, just remember not to provoke that monk. You can't afford to provoke that monk!"
Even until the end, the mayor did not tell Mo Laosan clearly.
But through the mayor's attitude, Mo Laosan had already guessed something.
"That monk is a real mage!"
It was obviously a question sentence, but Mo Laosan was very sure when he said this sentence.
"And what happened in the town recently was that the mage was exorcising evil spirits!"
When the monk was mentioned again, Mo Laosan's attitude was finally no longer as cynical as before, and he even took the initiative to adopt the more respectful title of "Mage".
"Exorcism? If only it were that easy!"
Walking towards his home on crutches, the mayor only left Mo Laosan with a lonely figure.
