The moon is like a hook at night, and the beautiful white moonlight penetrates the dark clouds overhead and falls into Fengxi County.
In Zhangjia Hutong, the Zhangjia mansion is located quietly at the entrance of the alley. The huge courtyard is quiet, and two begging lanterns are hung high in front of the door.
The Zhang family is a big family, and they are the most particular.
There is a saying that if there is no light at the front door, the backyard will not be bright.
This light also means prosperity, and many wealthy households will even waste money to keep candles burning until dawn.
At this time, the gate was quiet. Suddenly, a strange dark wind blew through the long street. The two wind lamps swayed and emitted a dim light. The watchman immediately shivered when the wind blew.
The watchman was a little strange. It was midsummer at this time. Even if it was midnight and the scorching heat of the day had left, it would not be so cold.
Frightened, he quickly left.
But in the darkness, strange shadows emerged from the darkness. When he looked carefully, he saw that they were white paper figures.
It's just that the pupils of these paper figures are bright red, like drops of blood. They are like skilled assassins hiding in the shadows. As soon as these paper figures appeared, the bright and dark whistles all around the Zhang family's mansion fell into unconsciousness in an instant.
It's just that it's close to the Zhang family's residence.
However, at this moment, a layer of invisible purple clouds suddenly bloomed over the Zhang family's residence, and there was a layer of invisible, majestic energy that dispersed.
Holy, majestic.
This layer of energy trembled slightly, and suddenly these paper figures were seen trembling all over, with thick smoke rising from their bodies, and they quickly retreated one by one.
A humane look of fear.
"Dragon and Tiger Qi!"
In the backyard of Zhang Ji's paper shop, Zhang, the paper figurine sitting quietly under the shrine, opened his eyes and his face changed slightly.
On the table, the oil lamp swayed like a strong wind.
There seemed to be an invisible surge sweeping through it.
Behind the paper man Zhang, Wang Yuanlang and Ji Ming stood tall. Seeing this scene, Wang Yuanlang couldn't see the mystery, but Ji Ming knew it all too well.
The Zhang family was awarded the plaque of "House of Accumulating Good Deeds" by the imperial court. It was somewhat protected by the aura of dragon and tiger, making it difficult for external evil to invade.
But that's not a problem.
In front of the Zhang family's mansion, a group of people appeared soon after and covered the golden plaque with a huge pot of dirty blood.
After the basin of dirty blood was poured on it, the layer of magnificent invisible lavender energy hovering over the Zhang family immediately dissipated slowly.
Regarding this scene, the paper man Zhang and Ji Ming both felt it.
The paper man Zhang remained motionless, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Ji Ming's mouth.
"It's done, it's a lot more convenient without the dragon-tiger aura!"
"After all, the Zhang family is just a local wealthy family. It lacks any background and has many treasures but doesn't know how to cherish them!"
The root of the dragon-tiger spirit lies in the court.
It suppressed all parties and prevented the orthodoxy of the imperial court from being affected by all evil.
This ray of energy is so powerful!
Ji Ming has also heard about the origin of this dragon and tiger energy. One theory is that it is the orthodox power of the country that gave birth to China.
One theory is that it comes from an unimaginable existence called the God of Sheji.
It is also said that it comes from the underworld and the emperor's heavenly decree, so this magical power is sent down to protect all people, or it is simply the power of all people.
Ji Ming is not sure which legend is true, but they, the side sect warlocks, will actively avoid this kind of power.
Before the orthodoxy of the imperial court is overthrown, people outside the country will not choose to resist forcefully.
At this time, there were two more people who sensed the dissipation of the Zhang family's dragon and tiger energy.
These two people are both in the Zhang family.
In the Zhang Family Temple, Zhang Jian has been staying here for this period of time. This is because he and Zhang Yi jointly studied "Nine Chapters of Tongshan Purity" through the solemn treasure of the family.
The two of them participated in the research together, and one person figured out the shortcomings and the other figured out the strengths. Each of them made a lot of gains, and thus began to step into the door of the avenue.
Zhang Jian practiced "Nine Chapters of Tongshan Purity" faster. He transformed the breath in his body into a power with extremely special properties in almost one day.
He called it spiritual power.
Either because it is related to the practice of "Tiangang Boy Gong", or because he himself is pure yang, and the spiritual power he has gained through practice is extremely yang.
But this is different from mana.
Only when the magic power is completely integrated with its own roots can the magic power of the intertwined cultivation of life and life be born. Magic power is also a kind of power condensed from one's own essence, life span, and blessings. Its mysterious and abnormal nature cannot be formed by ordinary people.
It requires orthodox Taoist law, special qualifications, plus a certain amount of opportunity and perseverance to develop.
The spiritual power is somewhat similar to the innate inner breath condensed in the innate stage, but it is more magical. It is only a part of the energy condensed by the power of the three treasures.
Zhang Yi was slightly slower, and it took him nearly a week to gradually transform his spiritual power.
Being able to transform spiritual power shows that both of them have the qualifications to practice, but Zhang Jian's qualifications are obviously more outstanding.
When the dragon-tiger energy dissipated, the two of them sensed the changes in the outside world in advance with the help of their newly condensed spiritual consciousness, and faintly sensed the existence of the dragon-tiger energy.
At the same time, the two of them sensed an extremely sinister force approaching the Zhang family residence.
Sensing the change, the two subconsciously stood up and prepared to take action.
But inside the ancestral hall, the stone mirror suddenly radiated with brilliance, and a layer of strong golden light pierced out from it. Then the two of them saw that under the golden light, some evil spirits were nowhere to be seen outside the Zhang family residence.
Strange paper figures appeared out of thin air, but they wailed and screamed in despair before melting under the golden light.
"paper man?"
The two of them appeared very fast outside the Zhang family's residence. They immediately saw the paper man turning into ashes under the reflection of the 'spiritual consciousness'.
Both Zhang Yi and Zhang Jian faced such a scene for the first time, and the strange scene made people shudder.
The paper figures look like living people!
At the same time, the two of them were also surprised by the power of the stone mirror in the ancestral hall.
It's so sharp.
Especially Zhang Jian, his heart couldn't help but secretly change. It seemed that his previous five senses were not wrong. That stone mirror was indeed the Zhang family's treasure.
"It seems that someone wants to plot against us, but they never thought that my Zhang family still has such a treasure?"
"But these paper figures seem a bit familiar!"
Zhang Yi frowned at the naive paper figures at this time. He was in charge of the Zhang family ancestral hall, and every major ceremony of the Zhang family passed through his hands before it could be held smoothly. These funeral paper figures were all too familiar.
Zhang Jian had already recognized it, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "Zhang Ji Zhi Zhi Shop!"
Zhang Yi's eyes condensed slightly.
"I gonna go see!"
"Let's get together!"
Zhang Yi was slightly surprised when he saw Zhang Jian's figure rushing out, but after thinking about it, he quickly jumped up to follow him.
As for the Zhang family's mansion, they can rest assured. With the Zhang family's guards and treasures guarding it, it won't be that easy to break through.
At the same time, Zhang Ji Zhi was in the store. The paper man Zhang suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning. A layer of intense golden light suddenly erupted all over his body, almost roasting him on the spot. He still couldn't help but let out a low wailing sound.
Even his eyes glowed golden.
Golden light burned his body, and he let out bursts of inhuman screams.
The oil lamp on the desk was blown by the strong wind, shook violently, and was almost extinguished.
"It's been eaten back!"
Looking at this scene, Ji Ming's expression changed.
