"Look, this notice is looking for capable people to investigate the Red Mansion Incident. As long as you can solve the strange evil spirits, you can get a reward of five thousand taels. There are other rewards to discuss." "This time the Yamen is really bleeding money. Yes, five thousand taels. I have never seen even ten taels of silver. How much is five thousand taels? I don’t have to worry about it in this life. I can spend my life with plenty of fish and meat."
It's a pity that they are all ordinary people, and they have no ability to cause trouble for evil spirits. If one person is not good, maybe this body of flesh will tell the truth. You can't afford to mess with this thing. It's better to leave it to professionals.
Unfortunately, as the afternoon passed, no one came to reveal the list.
At night, the whole city was silent. Under the ban, no one dared to go out. People in the city had long been panicked, fearing that evil spirits would come to the door, so they closed the doors tightly.
Strangely enough, no new people were killed for two consecutive days. It seemed that the evil spirit had left.
The news from the Demon Suppressing Division has also been passed on, and it will take seven days before the manpower is available to come and investigate. During this period, the curfew continues and no one is allowed to go out at night.
The third night.
A dark cloud came in the sky.
Zhuang Buzhou opened the door. He was wearing a black robe, a long knife worn close to his body, and a pocket hanging on his waist. The pocket contained almost all the wealth he had accumulated over the years, three hundred taels of silver. In addition to silver, there were also these Qingyun tea accumulated over the years, with a mask in his arms.
"It's a dark and windy night, I hope everything goes well. I've been waiting for this opportunity for too long."
Zhuang Buzhou looked up at the sky and took a deep breath secretly. Today was the day when the trade fair was held, and it was night. This time, he had to do something and there must be a result. Just to get a chance.
Even if it means giving up all your wealth, you won't hesitate.
Once you enter the transcendent realm, you step into the ranks of practitioners. That's one step to the top.
"I hope I won't encounter any evil spirits."
Zhuang Buzhou thought to himself.
This time when we go to Green Willow Villa, we need to pass through the South Gate, which is the location of the South District. There are red buildings there. No one knows if they will encounter them. Once they do, it will be quite dangerous. No one knows the evil spirits. What kind of abilities it has.
However, no matter how dangerous it is, you must go.
If he missed this time, he was afraid that he would really have no chance.
Squeak!
Close the door again and follow towards South Street.
Dang Dang Dang! !
"The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful about the fire."
In the dark night, there was silence. Under the forbidden sky, no pedestrians went out, not even the policemen. Only the watchmen were still out and about at night, and the crisp sound of the watch could be heard from time to time.
Walking quietly in the night. Suddenly, in the dark night, two red lights flashed in front of my eyes.
"Red lantern, red building."
Zhuang Buzhou was startled and took a closer look. In an open space in front of him, there was an extremely large courtyard. The overall area was huge, the color was fragrant, and it exuded an ancient charm. In front of the door, there was a pair of big red lanterns, high Hanging high, shining with bright red lights. The door is wide open. It seems that waves of singing and singing are constantly reaching the ears, making people unconsciously feel a kind of heat, and thoughts are floating in their minds.
The feet beneath him almost subconsciously moved towards the red building.
Dang Dang Dang! !
Just as he was about to step out, there was a crisp sound of the night sky in the night sky.
"The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful about the fire."
The sound of the clock wakes Zhuang Buzhou up, and he glances over subconsciously. The red building just now disappeared without knowing when, and an old man with a somewhat curvy body walked past.
Lantern, gong, cloak, coir raincoat, bamboo tube.
"It's Huber."
When Zhuang Buzhou saw it, he was slightly startled. He turned his eyes, and in an instant, a number appeared in his eyes.
Forty-three years, June eleven days, five hours, twenty-one minutes and seven seconds.
"Uncle Huber is already in his fifties, and he started to watch the clock very early. He still has so much time left, and his lifespan is actually over 100 years old."
A lifespan of a hundred years is the same as that of Hong Gu. It is already the ultimate in the world. Are such people really just ordinary watchers? You know, since ancient times, the life span of the human race has not been very long. The average lifespan is only forty or fifty, and at forty people already know their destiny. Anyone who can live to be a hundred years old is simply a longevity star. Even if I saw one, I actually saw two in this small Qingyun City.
If this was normal, Zhuang Buzhou wouldn't believe it even if he took his head off.
"The Red Mansion disappeared just now. Was it because of Uncle Huber?"
A thought flashed through Zhuang Buzhou's mind.
Looking at Huber's back, I couldn't help but think about it secretly. It seemed that the world was really elusive. A person who usually looked familiar might have a completely different identity behind his back.
"No matter what the world is like, I will eventually step into it."
I made up my mind secretly in my heart without any hesitation. After the red building disappeared, there were no obstacles. He walked quickly towards the city gate. It was already night and the city gate had been closed. Ordinary people were prohibited from going out. However, this city gate could stop ordinary people, but it could not stop the real strong. Those who have practiced martial arts, and have reached the tenth level of acquired skills, the light skill of flying on grass is not a wasted reputation, plus some special tools.
It was easy to climb over the city wall.
Going out of town at night is quite dangerous.
Outside the city at night, there are a large number of wild beasts and even evil monsters hiding in the darkness, and they may be in danger at any time. Generally speaking, it is not necessary to leave the city easily. Except for some accident, calling for help is impossible.
Zhuang Buzhou did not hesitate. He had already made detailed preparations before this.
Maps, insect repellent sachets at night, etc. are all carried with you.
Follow the route indicated on the map and quickly walk towards Green Willow Villa.
The villa is not too far from Qingyun City.
However, we have already arrived near the villa.
Graves, dead trees, crows, will-o'-the-wisps.
A dilapidated villa is located under the mass graves.
This villa covers a large area. Although it is dilapidated, there is no doubt that it was also a manor where wealthy families lived before. The area is probably no less than a hundred acres. Before it was abandoned, there were not only gardens, rockeries, but also lakes. Surrounded by a large number of willow trees, the scenery is quite beautiful. But things are different now. Except for the willow trees, everything else looks much dilapidated without anyone taking care of it.
Incomparable to before.
"Will-o'-the-wisp, it's a will-o'-the-wisp lantern. This is undoubtedly the place where the trade fair is held."
Zhuang Buzhou came to the villa and looked at the two lanterns hanging in front of the door. The lanterns emitted a green fire. They were will-o'-wisps, giving people an eerie feeling, and a chill could not help but feel on the back.
There was a feeling of awe in my heart.
Put the prepared mask on your face. The mask is a faceless mask with only the eyes exposed. Two small holes are cut out at the nose, and holes for breathing are pierced at the mouth. From the outside, no one can see his appearance through the mask.
There are no guards at the villa at all.
The door is open, and anyone who can come here can enter.
When I walked in, I saw that there were many people in the villa, and they were all gathered in an open space. All of them wore black robes and masks to hide their identities. There were not many people, probably around a hundred people.
"Are there so many monks near Qingyun City?"
Zhuang Buzhou was secretly frightened, but he also guessed that not all of them were monks. They must be like himself and wanted to seek opportunities to become monks here.
When the people here saw Zhuang Buzhou coming in, they just raised their eyes and glanced at him. They didn't say anything and had no intention of greeting him. When you come here, you naturally know where this place is and have your own purpose. No greeting is needed.
Those who set up stalls set up stalls, and those who wandered around.
Once you fancy something, you can start negotiating a deal.
"What kind of talismans are these and what do they do?"
The first thing Zhuang Buzhou saw was a stall at the entrance. Behind the stall, there sat a man wearing a green robe and wearing a monkey-face mask. Needless to say, his face was not specific, and nothing could be seen.
However, he could see the numbers floating above his head.
"Thirty-seven years, May, twenty-three days, six hours, thirty-four minutes and sixteen seconds."
Judging from his age, this is another being whose lifespan has reached the limit of mortal life.
There must be something magical.
"This is a talisman. I have three kinds of talismans here, namely the exorcism talisman, the house-killing talisman, and the fireball talisman. They are all first-level low-grade talismans. The exorcism talisman can get rid of evil spirits of the same level. Strange and higher-level evil spirits can also have a certain effect. Function: The house-killing talisman is attached to the house to keep the family safe. Ordinary evil spirits do not dare to approach easily, and it has a strong protection for the family. There is also the fireball talisman, which can be turned into a fireball after being activated. An acquired A warrior at the peak of his realm will be instantly reduced to ashes under the fireball."
A slightly older voice came into his ears.
"what price."
Zhuang Buzhou was secretly surprised. This was a truly extraordinary item. He was very excited when he saw it with his own eyes.
"In terms of worldly money, one piece of silver is one hundred taels. If there are talisman coins, one piece requires nine copper talisman coins."
The old man glanced at Zhuang Buzhou and said slowly.
It seems that he is a newcomer who has first come into contact with the world of spiritual practice.
"Dare to ask senior, what is the talisman money?"
Zhuang Buzhou didn't shy away from it. In a place like this, he couldn't hide the fact that he was a newcomer. Many things would be revealed in just a few words. Instead of doing this, it is better to be generous and generous, which is not shameful.
"Newcomer."
The old man said without any surprise: "talisman money is a kind of currency in the spiritual world. Blank talisman money is cast using a special method, and then, by absorbing the power of incense and vows, it can become a real talisman money that can be circulated. There are copper talisman coins, silver talisman coins. The price difference between talisman money and gold talisman money is a hundred times. One hundred copper talisman money can be exchanged for one silver talisman money, and one hundred silver talisman money can be exchanged for one gold talisman money. Talisman money contains wishes. Power can be absorbed. Tempering one's own spiritual roots."
The old man seemed quite friendly.
