On this day, Song Ciwan washed ten demons.
On the same day, five handymen died suddenly in the laundry room!
The stewards still had the usual, careless attitude. The old ones died and new ones were added.
The surviving handymen survived the disaster, feeling numb and secretly happy. Of course, there were also some who were sad and frightened, but not many.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same. Unless the knife cuts on one's own neck, a living person will always feel lucky. But that’s it, only then can we be encouraged to live, right?
Song Ciwan was not secretly happy. They were all pitiful people. She couldn't save anyone, but she could at least be calm and respectful.
While she was cleaning the demon, she heard the voices of the stewards outside.
Manager Hu said: "The superiors have increased the ratio of demon corpses that can be exchanged for qi and blood pills. In the past, a low-level mortal demon could exchange it for at most two qi-nourishing pills, but now it can be exchanged for two qi-enhancing pills! And if you officially enter the demon soldier level, you can exchange for five strength pills in the early stage!"
He added: "The demon soldiers are elite, and one demon corpse contains five qi-moving pills! Damn it, it makes me jealous, and I want to kill the demon in exchange for pills!"
Manager Hu was the one who cracked the stone floor with a whip in front of Song Ciwan. Song Ciwan didn't know what level he was in, but he thought he was quite skilled.
Song Ciwan had seen the Qi-nourishing pills and Qi-strengthening pills revealed in Guanshi Hu's words. She still took the Qi-strengthening pills every day, but the Qi-promoting pills were in Song Ciwan's knowledge blind spot.
It sounds like this Qi-activating pill is a higher level pill than the Qi-Strengthening Pill, which makes Song Ciwan secretly think about it: If she can get the complete demon corpse and put it on the scale of heaven and earth to sell it, she wonders if it can be sold. What to get?
At this time, another manager surnamed Wang said: "Who wouldn't want to kill demons in exchange for elixirs, earn practice resources, and rise higher and higher? But Brother Hu, killing demons is dangerous! Many people died last night , it wasn’t enough to kill the demon captain, but it also attracted various masters hidden in our city, you know this Brother Hu, right?"
Manager Hu said: "That's natural. If there is a demonic disaster, how can it not kill people?"
His tone seemed a little disapproving, and Manager Wang laughed and said, "Brother Hu, do you know that when the demonic disaster occurred last night, there was also a Demon-Slaying Captain who died mysteriously at home?"
Manager Hu said: "Who is it? This demon is so rampant now that he doesn't bother ordinary people, but directly comes to attack the Demon-Slaying Captain?"
Manager Wang said: "The name of the Demon-Slaying School Captain is Zhang Ping, and he is a disciple of the Seven Stars Sect of the Shangzong. His death was not caused by a demon, but because his Qi veins went retrograde while practicing Kung Fu, and he died of being possessed by a demon."
Manager Hu suddenly hissed: "Obsessed? How could this... such a good person become obsessed?"
Manager Wang sighed: "Who knows? Every year, we have heard of a lot of people who become obsessed with things, but usually those who become possessed are at least innate..."
He paused suddenly when he said this, as if he was taboo about mentioning Xiantian.
Manager Hu said thoughtfully: "So, what does Brother Wang mean?"
Steward Wang lowered his voice and said: "It's all right. That Zhang Ping became obsessed with evil. It's probably because he killed too many demons and was tainted with something unknown..."
In the washroom, when Song Ciwan heard this, he felt as if he had just experienced a roller coaster ride, and his heart, which was so high, suddenly landed dangerously.
Zhang Ping's death was indeed determined to be a case of obsession! The biggest advantage of this is that if he goes crazy, it is not a homicide. If it is not a homicide, there is no need to pursue the murderer!
There is no need to even pursue the murderer, so the risk of Song Ciwan being exposed is naturally minimized.
She felt relieved.
After finishing the demon washing one day, Song Ciwan went to the vegetable market with a pair of snake demon viscera that she was given today.
The vegetable market seemed less lively than in the past. Most of the people coming and going looked a little hurried, and most of the pedestrians were talking about topics related to last night's demonic disaster.
These are nothing, but the most important thing is that Song Ciwan discovered that the prices in the vegetable market have increased!
It’s not an increase of one or two points, but a double increase.
Just one night of evil, prices skyrocketed.
The entrance of the grain and oil store was crowded with protesting people, and the people were angry.
But the shopkeeper of the grain store stood on the steps and said loudly: "I want you to know that it's not that our boss has a bad conscience and wants to take away your money. In fact, our boss's house also suffered a disaster last night. There was an evil demon who invaded our granary. He swallowed most of the food!"
The granary of the grain store was also plagued by demons, and the angry crowd couldn't help but become quiet.
The shopkeeper added: "The owner originally wanted to close the shop, but he was worried that the old neighbors would often come to buy food. He was afraid that you might not have enough food at home, so he asked me to open the shop despite the pressure."
The shopkeeper sighed, wiped the corners of his eyes, and chanted: "Everyone, this grain... there is only so much, and it will be gone when it is sold out. It is not easy for everyone, and I understand if you think it is expensive, otherwise you will have to eat it every bucket." I’ll give you a penny and you can come and buy it if you can afford it…”
He ordered the waiter to open the door, and the crowd that had been blocking him outside to curse him suddenly burst into the store like a tidal wave.
This one shouted: "Buy it, why don't you buy it? Give me ten buckets!"
The one said: "Give me a hand, give me a hand, I'll buy twenty buckets!"
Crazy, absolutely crazy.
Song Ciwan was stunned, and her horizons were opened again.
She silently stepped aside and separated from the surging crowd.
If you want to buy food, you can’t buy food today. I can only say that she is lucky that she used to have a hoarding habit and has saved a lot of food at home and in the Tiandi Scale space.
If only she and the big white goose ate, it wouldn't be a problem to manage it for a year and a half.
The entrance to the grain store here was in a mess. Song Ciwan changed direction and heard the sound of iron hammering suddenly coming from across the street.
Then a voice shouted loudly: "Neighbors and fellow villagers, the City God's Temple has released a family-protecting amulet. You can buy one home for a hundred cents! Everyone, hurry up and ask for it. Please come back to your home to ward off evil spirits and keep you safe." !”
This voice was really effective, and most of the people buying food immediately split up.
People were very excited. Some people said: "Is it true that the City God's Temple has a family-protecting amulet? One hundred coins... Oops, my third uncle asked for it before, and I heard it costs at least ten taels of silver! Quick, run!"
Of course, there are some people who find it too expensive. Those who find it too expensive are really moved to tears by it: "But I don't have a hundred coins. I don't have a hundred coins. I'm going to be in trouble at home. One hundred coins, I asked for a talisman, but I can't buy this food." purchase?"
…
Song Ciwan regarded all the various scenes of the human world as his background and ran towards the City God's Temple.
She also wanted to buy the talisman from the Chenghuang Temple and take it home to take a look at it.
There is no need to go into too much detail hereafter, but in short, it was a sea of people. Song Ciwan didn't know until he arrived at the gate of the City God's Temple that there were so many people living in Suyang City.
There are really too many people, and the City God's Temple can't control order. It can only let people squeeze in. Whoever squeezes in first can buy the family protection amulet first.
Among them, those who practice martial arts and are strong will definitely take advantage. But fortunately, there are not many such people in general. After all, real masters have already found other ways, and they will not compete with ordinary people for a chance to buy talismans at this time.
Song Ciwan was just a commoner. She didn't use any magical powers. She just followed the flow of people and listened to the roar of the crowd. Finally, at a certain moment when the sun set, she rushed into the gate of the City God's Temple with the cheers of the crowd around her.
Someone said excitedly: "I finally came in, Taoist Master, I want ten family protection talismans!"
Hey, ten pieces, so greedy.
What a pity, there are restrictions at the Chenghuang Temple, and one person can only exchange for one at most.
Song Ciwan got a family protection talisman and left the City God's Temple through the other door in disgrace.
When I came out, I saw that the sunset had completely set, and the afterglow dimmed the sky. A series of shops next to the Chenghuang Temple were lit with lanterns, and the lights meandered in the dim skylight, as if turning the stars in the sky into stars on earth.
Next to Song Ciwan, a short boy who grabbed the talisman cried and laughed: "I grabbed it, hahaha, the family protection talisman, oooooooo..."
Crying and laughing, this person has a beautiful face.
Wiping away his tears, he was knocked by the crowd and rushed towards Song Ciwan.
"Ouch!" the man exclaimed again, "I hit someone, I hit someone, get out of the way!"
Song Ciwan stretched out a hand and quickly pressed him against him. The man's small body hit Song Ciwan's hand, and he fell down and squatted on his butt.
Song Ciwan couldn't help but be stunned, and the boy who fell to the ground was also stunned. There was still a crowd of people crowding nearby, and Song Ciwan immediately stretched out her hand to help the boy who fell to the ground.
The young man rubbed his butt and then his arms. Then he looked at Song Ciwan and giggled again like "hehehe": "I got the family protection talisman, haha, haha! Haha." Ha ha!"
The current situation of madness is comparable to Fan Jin's passing the imperial examination.
Song Ciwan couldn't help but relax, and laughed softly at that time.
