Zhang Yan immediately forgot about the matter of purchasing ingredients at home, and followed the three ghosts floating away against the wall with some excitement.
After not finding any place where Yin Qi accumulated in the city for most of yesterday, he was already curious, and even speculated whether there was some reason why there were no ghosts in Langyuan City. But now three ghosts ran in front of him at once, which all meant that there were no ghosts in Langyuan City, but that they were hidden in a place that he had not searched for yesterday.
Where is it?
It is not difficult for Zhang Yan to track the three fierce ghosts. He only needs to follow the hanging Yin Qi, and he doesn't even need to see the other party in the Yin and Yang vision. In his perception, the ghost is like a crawling snail, leaving obvious traces of its path in a short time wherever it passes.
Following the three ghosts, they left the Dongmen Market. They walked all the way back to the street. They must have deliberately avoided the crowds on the main street. The ghosts felt uncomfortable under the surge of yang energy.
In the end, the Yin Qi left by the evil ghosts stayed within a tall courtyard wall. It disappeared after a moment, and then showed no signs of moving further. This means that the hiding place of the three fierce ghosts must be here.
Zhang Yan actually came here yesterday and passed by this huge house. He even took a second look at the word "Wu Mansion" on the main gate of the house. The bright copper nails on the door also show that the owner of this house is unusual.
The residence of Wu Yuan, the political official of Langyuan City, is naturally not simple.
"Is this a bad idea?" Zhang Yan was also very interested in this coincidence.
Is there a ghost's lair hidden in the palace of a dignified city official? This... Anyway, Zhang Yan felt a little weird.
The lair of the evil ghost must be a place where yin energy accumulates. There is nothing to say about this. Generally speaking, the place where Yin Qi accumulates will not be locked and covered by a mere house. Moreover, there is no such thing as a magic circle in the Wild Sky Domain. The warriors here have no means to deal with Yin Qi just like they deal with ghosts.
Either there is some unique natural topography within the courtyard wall, or the place where Yin Qi accumulates has a special structure. It is impossible to stop the spread of Yin Qi.
Natural terrain, this possibility is too small. After all, this is a city, and every inch of land has been plowed. Even if it was originally there, it will be gone after the construction. That leaves only the latter possibility: special construction.
Zhang Yan has seen this before, otherwise he would not have thought of it. Just like the dry well next to the ghost willow in the center of Luohua Lane in Xuanhua City.
The small mouth of the well will not allow the Yin Qi to spread too far. If you go deep underground, you can also use the earth's tolerance of the Yin Qi as a concealment. As long as the well is deep enough, it is indeed possible to hide a place where Yin Qi accumulates within the courtyard wall without being noticed by the outside world.
But then again. Even though a deep well covers the spread of Yin Qi where Yin Qi accumulates, the evil ghost inside is a real existence, and that thing is a fatal threat to all ordinary people. So how do the Wu family, who are neighbors of the evil ghost, live a stable life?
Zhang Yan turned around and found the place where the three ghosts had finally entered through the wall. He took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms and secretly stuffed it into the gap in the stone foundation under the courtyard wall. Repeating this, Zhang Yan stuffed a total of six talisman papers, all of which were paper talismans drawn in the "Four Senses of True Sense". With these paper talismans, he could sense whenever there were evil spirits on the walls of the Wu Mansion. At that time, if you have been aware of it in advance, it will be logical to wait and wait.
After Zhang Yan finished doing this, he remembered that he was still empty-handed after being out for so long, and his family might be worried. So I quickly trotted to the Dongmen Market to buy some vegetables and fresh meat, and then ran home.
After lunch, the adjutant named Wang Bin went to the house as agreed. Then he took away two bone-strengthening pills from Zhang Yan again. He didn't say any other unnecessary words. When he said goodbye, he put another brocade box on the table. It contained money bills, which was a bit thicker than last time.
"Yan'er, is it appropriate for us to take so much money from Mr. Zhou?" Wang Lanping looked at the money in the brocade box and was a little worried. She didn't know what the bone-strengthening pill her second son gave her was, but she felt a little guilty for getting so much money for two medicine balls.
Zhang Yan smiled and took out half of the money from the brocade box. He pushed the rest in front of Wang Lanping, and then said to her: "Mom, just keep it. Mr. Zhou is not a charity man. If the things are not If it's worth that price, he won't be a fool, right? Moreover, this is based on the friendship between Mr. Zhou and our family, otherwise the price of the two pills will have to be doubled."
"Ah? This..." Wang Lanping really didn't know how to respond after hearing this. She found that after her second son came back, everything seemed to be easy to do, and he seemed to be a completely different person.
Unlike Wang Lanping, who is always full of worries, the younger sister Zhang Huiyuan doesn't have so many ideas. She simply thinks that the richer her family is, the better. Thinking about how tight the family was before, now she really felt that it was great to have her second brother at home.
"Hehe, mother, do you think this money is enough to find a wife for my second brother?"
"Yes! This reminds me that this money is quite a lot. I will collect some more after the crops are harvested this year. It will be enough to give your second brother a good wife." Wang Lanping then smiled on her face. meaning.
Zhang Yan's hands shook. He had never thought of getting married so early! Is it because he can't move anymore? Or is the girl in the flower house no longer fragrant?
"Mom, please stop worrying about me. How old am I? If you want to find a wife, why don't you tell your elder brother first? Let's raise more money, and my elder brother will lose two legs, and it won't delay our marriage."
"Bah! Did you say such stupid things about your brother? Are you looking for a beating?" Wang Lanping covered her mouth and smiled, but her son's words really touched her heart.
Zhang Yan ignored the "shameful and angry roar" of the eldest brother Zhang Shun in the back room, and continued to say to his mother with a smile: "Mom, the eldest brother is our eldest son, so we have to get married as soon as possible! The family used to be in a tight situation, but now it is better off. After a while, Once I have settled the matter here, you can propose a marriage to your eldest brother."
After saying that, Zhang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turning my mother's attention to her eldest brother. It is estimated that my mother will no longer notice him before the marriage is finalized for her eldest brother.
After chatting for a while, the younger sister Zhang Huiyuan suddenly remembered and said to Zhang Yan: "By the way, second brother, I met Uncle Liu when I came back before. He seemed to want to see you for something."
"Oh? Okay, I'll go over and see what's going on."
Uncle Liu is talking about Carpenter Liu opposite. Naturally, it would only be a matter of wheelchair for him to find Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan is also curious. It has only been a day. How far has Carpenter Liu achieved with the wheelchair?
