Daliang 641, April 19th.
Late at night, Chongde Square in the south of the city.
Li Mansion, a large house covering an area of five acres.
In the yard, rockeries and waters are arranged at random, and there are spacious houses with blue bricks and tiles.
The nursing staff worked in groups of three, holding lanterns and patrolling the huge mansion in an orderly manner.
In the hidden places at the base of the walls, black-haired guard dogs lurked. Under the moonlight, his eyes reflected a faint red light from time to time.
At this time, a group of men in black suddenly climbed over the wall and entered.
These people fell to the ground silently, as if they were already familiar with the patrol arrangements in the house.
As soon as it hit the ground, it was shot with darts. The guard dog that had just stood up fell to the ground silently.
Immediately, he lurked quietly, waiting for the patrol guard to pass by, and then made a sudden attack.
After killing him with one blow, he quickly lurked to the next patrol point.
Viewed from the sky above the house, seven or eight groups of men in black rushed in at the same time, continuously narrowing the attack circle towards the inner house.
Wherever he passed, the patrolling guards in the yard, the watchmen, and the sleeping maids and servants in the rooms were all silently silenced.
boom!
A door in the inner house suddenly shattered. A wealthy middle-aged man in his forties broke through the door and fell into the courtyard.
He had a ghost-headed sword stuck in his belly, his face covered in blood, and he stared fiercely at the figure who followed him out of the room.
"Shangguantong! How dare you?!"
Smelling the increasingly strong smell of blood, the veins on the rich middle-aged man's neck bulged.
"Why don't I dare." Shangguan Tong was in his forties, with a face as white as jade, and said slowly with his hands behind his back.
"Li Shentong, since you dare to provoke my Shangguan family, you must be prepared to be exterminated."
"When have I ever provoked the Shangguan family?" Li Shentong couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes almost bulging out of anger.
Shangguan Tong looked at the other party with a gloomy face: "You actually forgot."
"Eight years ago today, Chunfeng Tower selected the oiran."
"I was careless and didn't bring enough money."
"I didn't expect that you would come out on top and steal the limelight."
"how dare you?!"
"I have been practicing martial arts hard over the years, and I have long wanted to take revenge for stealing the limelight!"
"I think, just today."
Li Shentong: "..."
"Isn't it because I spent money on courtesan to give it to you?!"
"Do you really remember that I stole your limelight?!"
Shangguan Tong: "..."
"Brother Shen Tong, I... I may have remembered it wrong."
At this time, a man in black suddenly appeared in front of Shangguan Tong, kneeling on one knee: "Second Master, kill them all."
Li Shentong: "..."
Shangguan Tong looked sad: "Forget it, let's go as a family."
"By the way, don't forget to take away his valuables. Especially the land deed."
…
Shangguan's house, in the inner pavilion.
Shangguan Ji sat under the pavilion, leisurely looking at the chess records and slowly studying the chess moves.
"Brother, those families were all killed by me!" Shangguan Tong rushed into the pavilion and said cheerfully.
"How dare you say that the evil spirits in the city are related to us."
"Spreading rumors and provoking the Shangguan family will not be a pity for death!"
Shangguan Ji glanced at the excited Shangguan Tong.
"I didn't catch much last night."
Shangguan Tong immediately grinned.
"Don't always focus on those petty profits. It's just a few small households in the outer city."
"If you can find evidence that several companies in the inner city colluded with those people."
"If you kill a few people, won't you make more money?"
Shangguan Tong immediately scratched his head: "Big brother is still smarter."
"Then...should I look for evidence?"
"Yeah." Shangguan Ji nodded calmly.
"Yu'er went north to look for the Qian Ji Ling."
"This is the opportunity our Shangguan family has been waiting for for a hundred years."
"Until the Thousand Machine Order is found, Tangshan Camp must be stable, and Nanyang Mansion must not be in chaos."
"Those big families have been restless. We must get rid of these unstable factors as soon as possible."
Shangguan Tong chuckled: "Just watch!"
"Whether there is evidence or not, I will find the evidence for you."
…
Lin Hengfang, Chen Zhai.
Chen Mu's mouth was dry after reciting mantras for three days, and he finally entered the door today.
Soul Locking Curse: 12/10000/level one;
"Keep reading." Chen Mu was helpless.
He likes to gain proficiency. But I don’t like to brush hard in such a hurry.
But he needed to imitate the Dragon Transformation Pill as soon as possible, so he had to give up other skills and spend all his time reciting the Soul Locking Curse.
Fortunately, after entering the first level, proficiency continues to bring insights. Hundreds of difficult-to-pronounce verses turned into more than thirty weird syllables.
"It should be faster in the back."
Three strange syllables came out of his mouth.
Five clouds of black smoke appeared in front of him.
"Five ghosts move mountains!"
The black smoke suddenly swirled into circles, and a strong sense of hunger suddenly hit my heart.
The mouth secretes saliva crazily, and the eager desire to devour constantly attacks the brain.
After a long while, Chen Mu dispersed the black smoke and took back the five ghosts.
"It seems that I can restrain the urge to devour a little bit."
"Is this the function of the Soul Locking Curse? To restrict the five ghosts? In other words, to control the five ghosts more powerfully."
"Let's wait and see when it's brushed up."
Take a sip of the throat soothing herbal tea. Chen Mu took advantage of his break to spread out the Book of Thousand Mountains.
In addition to the soul-locking curse, there is also a prescription called Shengxian Dan to nourish the medicine person.
"This has nothing to do with the word "nurturing." Chen Mu was speechless as he looked at it: "It is completely a tiger-wolf medicine that forcibly stimulates vitality regardless of life!"
"It seems to be to strengthen the medicine man's energy and blood..."
"Perhaps, this can also be used on animals." Chen Mu squinted and thought.
…
Nanyang Mansion, Luohe.
A fifty-meter cargo ship floated slowly on the wide river.
At the bow of the ship, a man in his forties with a Chinese character face sat cross-legged on the deck.
There is a square and short table in front of him.
There was a black porcelain pot on the low table, and the rich aroma of wine wafted out of the pot.
There are two side dishes on the table, a plate of sliced pork head and a plate of fried peanuts.
The middle-aged man was enjoying the breeze blowing from the river and was drinking for himself with a contented look on his face.
"Brother, there is news from the third child that last night in the outer city, seven families, big and small, were wiped out." A round-faced man came behind the middle-aged man and said with his fists in his hands.
"The prefect's Yamen said to the outside world that the war in the north caused evil spirits to rage."
"Nonsense." The middle-aged man with a Chinese character said with a smile.
"It's really nonsense." The round-faced man said with a mocking look on his face: "Anyway, I haven't heard of any evil spirit digging three feet into the ground to search for property."
"The third child is very capable. He actually tricked seven family members into helping us test Shangguan Ji." The middle-aged man with a Chinese-style face said with a smile.
The round-faced man murmured for a long time: "Two families."
The middle-aged man with a Chinese-character face turned his head in confusion.
"The third child only moved two families."
"What about the other five?"
The round-faced man shrugged: "The one who led the team to exterminate the family was Shangguan Tong."
"Hey! I'm here to make money!" The middle-aged man with a Chinese-character face laughed.
"Shangguan Ji isn't afraid that Shangguan Tong will do something bad to him?" the round-faced man wondered.
"He did it on purpose." Guo Zilian smiled lightly: "To scare Xiao Xiao."
"Just the slightest rumor will immediately kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
"I guess that evil-proofing mirror must have been taken away by Shangguan Yu!"
"Keep letting people test you."
"It's best to leave some evidence and contact a few people in the inner city."
"Let them fight first!"
"Okay." The round-faced man clasped his fists respectfully.
"Find some unoccupied and idle houses in the city and slowly bring our people in." The Chinese character face continued to order: "Go ahead."
"yes!"
