one's door

Zhang Yan nodded with a smile.In the past few days after returning home, he has already figured out Wang Lanping's temperament.She is an old woman who likes to chatter and has a kind heart.Especially for the three children in the family, she is always subconsciously worried. Although she can't help, she is still worried about the children's wanderings outside.

"Okay mother, I'll go there after dinner. Originally, I asked my little sister to arrange this matter in advance. I also went to the store yesterday. They have prepared very well, and there will be no trouble."

"That's it, it's better for you to go there, don't run away without a trace." Wang Lanping pushed the pickles in the small dish towards Zhang Yan, signaling him to eat more.Leave immediately after eating.

Zhang Yan's mentality is very stable. He never felt dissatisfied with Wang Lanping's nagging. On the contrary, he felt that the reason why the Zhang family never collapsed in the most difficult time was that Wang Lanping's nagging played a lot. It has a great effect, because you can feel the love from your family all the time, and you will not feel lonely and helpless in the face of difficulties.

The door of the East Gate Market was opened at Maoshi, and when Zhang Yan went out, it was halfway through Maoshi, and the sky was only getting brighter.

Most people in Huangtianyu wake up very early. After all, ordinary families don't have much entertainment at night, except for sleeping.So even if you wake up early, you are still very energetic.

As soon as you enter the gate of the workshop, the atmosphere inside is in full swing.Whether it's the shouting or the neighing of the animals pulling the carts, it tells everyone how busy the place is and how time is pressing.

Compared with the main street, the hustle and bustle on the back street road at the Dongmen Market is much quieter.Zhang Yan soon arrived at the store along the road. The lights inside were already brightly lit, and several people were busy.

"Huh? Zhang Er is here? Come and see, is there any problem with this?" Zhang Shun, who was in the middle of the wheelchair, moved his eyes to Zhang Yan, waved his hand, and asked Zhang Yan to give the new addition to the store. Arrange some ideas.

"Brother, I said it's okay when I came here yesterday." Zhang Yan finished speaking with a smile, and looked around. The kits were already on display.There are three styles and three different prices.

"Zhang Er, I always wonder if the price of these kits will be high?"

"What's the high price? Isn't the price of ordinary cotton cloth low enough? It's only less than [-]% higher than our cost. People who can afford wheelchairs won't care about this little money."

"I'm talking about the other two types, brocade and embroidered satin, aren't they too expensive? And look, isn't the word 'Zhang Ji' on it too centered? There won't be any problem, right?"

"Brother, how many times have you asked this question? I told you yesterday, there will be no problem. The word Zhang Ji is our family's signboard. Only by embroidering the signboard can it show that it is a product of our time-honored brand. It stands for "the best". Just these three words, and counting the embroidery work, it is completely reasonable to sell it more expensive.

Hehe, brother, this is what my master taught me, it is called "brand premium", you don't need to understand the reason, just use it as it is, you can't go wrong. "

The so-called kit is actually a cushion for the wheelchair, including the armrests, the seat and the backrest.Three styles and three prices.

It was the first time that the so-called brand premium appeared in Huangtianyu, and it was normal for Zhang Shun to feel uneasy.If Zhang Yan hadn't comforted him with the guise of "teacher", this idea would definitely not pass Zhang Shun's test.

When the sky brightened, customers began to come in one after another from Zhang's wheelchair shop.The guys in the store also began to be busy making introductions.Regardless of whether the other party is wearing simple or luxurious outfits, they are all treated equally. Coupled with the novel furnishings and experiential purchase process in the store, very few people will leave soon after entering.And as long as you stay, there is a high probability of paying for it.After all, people who visit here come only when they need something.Most of the spectators are too embarrassed to enter the door, and will watch outside the store.

And soon, the wheelchair kit naturally sold the first piece.

Not the cheapest plain cotton one, but the most expensive embroidered satin one.And until noon, the number of kits sold was seven, only two of which were the cheap cotton ones.

"This..." Zhang Shun couldn't figure it out.He even felt as if the profit from selling the kit was higher than the wheelchair itself.

Zhang Yan didn't explain to Zhang Shun, but let the other party figure it out with a smile.After all, it is impossible for him to help here all the time, and it will depend on the elder brother to manage it himself in the future.In addition, in the final analysis, Zhang Yan is just copying the model from the earth, and he doesn't understand many of the truths at all. It is better not to talk about it, so as not to mislead the elder brother's thinking.

It was noon, Zhang Yan was about to go back, while Zhang Shun and Zhang Huiyuan wanted to stay in the store.

But just as Zhang Yan was about to go out, he saw a few familiar people walking in.

"Hey, Brother Zhang is here in person? I haven't seen you for a long time, and the business here is booming!"

"Huh? Xiao Chongwen, what are you doing here?" Zhang Yan glanced at the three of Xiao Chongwen with a half-smile on his face, then his eyes skipped over them, and fell on a young man in brocade robe who was in the middle.

Chapter 93 Meeting

Zhang Yan's eyes subconsciously twitched when he saw the young man in Jinpao. In his memory, he had seen him far away downstairs in the flower building a few years ago, and knew his name: Wu Qingling.

Say this is a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken, right?Zhang Yan felt that it was inappropriate, after all, in his eyes, he was not a chicken to be slaughtered, and Wu Qingling was not a ferocious monster that could not be resisted.

But it is inevitable that the other party is uneasy and kind.

"Brother Zhang, we heard that your family has set up a shop selling chairs. Mr. Wu just heard that an elder in his family also has inconvenient legs and feet, so we accompanied him to see if there are any suitable chairs. Brother Zhang , would you like to introduce Mr. Wu?"

Zhang Shun and Zhang Huiyuan knew Xiao Chongwen and the other three. Although Ma Shan died, they hated the three of them quite a bit.Originally, he wanted to go up and scold, but Zhang Yan stopped him by raising his hand.

"I didn't expect Mr. Wu to be face to face. It's really disappointing. Please don't blame me, Mr. Zhang Yan." Zhang Yan responded with a smile, but he didn't go to see Xiao Chongwen and the others. But the waist was straight, saying that it was "too far away", but at this time, he didn't even arch his hands.

It's time now, there's no need to play dumb in front of Wu Qingling.Zhang Yan wants to see what the other party is going to do.

The clerk in the store was also a frequent visitor to the market, and after a few more glances he recognized who Wu Qingling was, so he hurriedly approached Zhang Shun, the owner, to tell him, and at the same time let Zhang Huiyuan listen.Only then did the two realize that the rather pale young man in front of them was actually Wu Qingling, the only son of Langyuan City's biggest dandy, the city administrator Wu Yuan's only son that had been rumored for a long time! ?

The reputation of being a wicked young man was not something that was blown out, it was a real deterrent to ordinary people like Zhang Shun and Zhang Huiyuan, the two of them felt a little nervous for a while, they didn't know the purpose of the other party's coming.

Especially Zhang Shun, when he saw Xiao Chongwen and Wu Qingling coming all the way, his heart trembled fiercely, and he secretly guessed: the person behind the frame of Zhang Er was Wu Qingling, right? !

The others kept guessing in their hearts, but Wu Qingling smiled and put her hands behind her back. Seeing that Zhang Yan was only responding to a few polite words but didn't even bother to greet him, this posture was basically clear.

So Wu Qingling smiled and said, "Blame? If I want to blame you, this small shop of yours will be closed tomorrow. Do you believe it?"

Zhang Yan also laughed, and said: "Mr. Wu's words are not true in Langyuan City? Naturally, the grassroots believe it. But the things in the small shop are solid and good things, and I think they should satisfy you."

"Hehe, then just tell me, I want to buy one for my elders with handicapped legs, which one should I choose?" Wu Qingling looked at the calm Zhang Yan in front of him with a half-smile while talking.The other party's calm look made him feel more and more annoying.But he didn't show it directly.

Zhang Yan casually took a trial chair from the side, pushed it in front of Wu Qingling, and said, "My lord, you can try this one. It's made of high-quality green iron wood. It's not only durable, but also light and flexible to use." ..."

Although he was introducing the chair in his hand, Zhang Yan's heart suddenly trembled, because after Wu Qingling came in, he smelled a special smell, which did not belong to a living person.

But Wu Qingling is indeed a living person, and she is not in a state of being possessed by a ghost.The only possibility is that Ben came in with Wu Qingling, and unclean things came into the shop.

So Zhang Yan took advantage of explaining the stalls of the wheelchair to Wu Qingling, opened up his perception to the maximum, and at the same time opened the "Yin-Yang Pupil Technique" to make his vision both yin and yang.So he found a woman's face that had penetrated into the house on the beam of the shop in the corner.

It was the adult-looking ghost that I had seen on the execution platform before.

Feeling carefully, only one came this time, and the other ghost child that Zhang Yan had seen did not come over.But Zhang Yan was a little strange.He had clearly arranged many paper figurines around the Wu Mansion as his eyes and ears, why didn't he know that the female ghost had left the Wu Mansion this time?Didn't realize it until the other party showed up?

From Zhang Yan's point of view, there were only two possibilities in this situation.One is that there is some kind of magic weapon that can shelter the female ghost, and taking it out of Wu's mansion avoids the superficial monitoring of the paper figurine, and Zhang Yan didn't know about it in advance.

Another possibility is, possession.By attaching to a living person to cover up one's own evil spirit, one can also avoid the induction of the paper figurine.It's just that this method generally has a huge disadvantage, that is, it will cause damage to the possessed person.And the longer the possession time, the greater the damage.

The former possibility, now Zhang Yan dare not be as sure as before, after all, he discovered the existence of suspected ghost cultivators in the previous battle at the mass grave in Langyuan City, so he can no longer be sure that the world Without monks other than him, it is hard to say whether the device must not exist.

But even if there is a magic weapon, it is not something the Wu family can use.Because the Wu family came in and out of the mansion, the peeking of the paper figurines never found any aura of monks.

And the female ghost is not a ghost cultivator, and she can't open the magic weapon to take shelter on her own.

So relying on the magic weapon to pretend the female ghost to avoid the surveillance of the paper figurine talisman, this possibility was quickly discarded by Zhang Yan.The odds are too low.

Then the only thing left is possession.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan had some confidence in his heart.But he was a little curious about the person who let the ghost possess him as a vehicle.If it goes on like this, most people are afraid that they will fall ill within a few times, or even become insane.The secrets of the Wu family are hard to hide.Is it possible to use this as a breakthrough to explore the inside of the Wu family?

Zhang Yan was planning in his heart, but he didn't hesitate at all. Compared with the guys in the shop, he introduced wheelchairs as well, and he was as sharp as a professional for this.

In the end, Wu Qingling actually bought a wheelchair, and also a set of embroidered satin for the kit.A large bill was still on the cash drawer, and he waved his hand and said no to the change.

But before going out, he seemed to suddenly think of something, turned to Zhang Yan and said, "Your family's business looks pretty good now, do you want to go out? Make it a big business that spreads across ten cities? Don't Answer me in a hurry, think slowly, come to the money shop to find me when you figure it out, I will pay, and I will give you [-]% of the money!"

After Wu Qingling finished speaking, she turned and left without waiting for Zhang Yan's answer.Behind them, Xiao Chongwen and the others followed, and another follower came in and took away the wheelchair that Wu Qingling had bought.And Zhang Yan also sent it to the door. First, he looked around at the attendants behind Wu Qingling, but he didn't find the sick-looking person he thought.

So Zhang Yan threw a piece of paper figurine out without leaving a trace, and it floated far above his head like the wind, following Wu Qingling and the female ghost.

Chapter 94 Spiritual Medium

Wu Qingling dismissed the three of Xiao Chongwen with a wave of his hand.These three people are becoming less and less useful to him now, and if he doesn't deal with them for the time being, he also wants to deal with Zhang Yan first and then deal with them again, so as not to cause complications.So leave it for now.

The three of Xiao Chongwen who were sent away were also in a fog all the way.They thought that Wu Qingling came to the door this time to teach the Zhang family a lesson, and when they happened to meet Zhang Yan in the store, they were secretly excited. It would be great if Wu Qingling had a spark with Zhang Yan on the spot. .

Thinking of Ma Shan's weird "face-changing" scene before, the three of Xiao Chongwen can't get rid of it like a nightmare, and they wish Zhang Yan could die quickly.After a long delay, they even worried that one day they would die as strangely as Ma Shan.And the only one they can rely on now is Wu Qingling.

But Wu Qingling actually went to the store to buy a wheelchair and left. Before leaving, she left a message for Zhang Yan, as if she wanted to do business with Zhang Yan.What's the idea?

After dismissing Xiao Chongwen and the others, Wu Qingling did not wander around, but walked straight towards the Wu Mansion.Of course, he didn't know that there was a paper figure talisman floating in the wind behind him that was "watching" him all the time.

When approaching the gate of the Wu Mansion, Wu Qingling suddenly paused, as if standing still and thinking about something, the few followers around him didn't take offense, they just surrounded him for protection.

And just when Wu Qingling stopped in his tracks, the female ghost who was following behind them jumped onto Wu Qingling's back as agreed with Wu Qingling, and then embedded into his body.The whole process takes less than three breaths.Then Wu Qingling continued to walk forward with her usual expression, and entered the gate of Wu Mansion.

"It's actually attached to Wu Qingling's body?!"

Through the paper figurine, Zhang Yan just "saw" the scene where the female ghost possessed Wu Qingling, and was very surprised.Because although Wu Qingling's face looked pale and her body was quite thin, it was only caused by the injury caused by alcohol and sex, not because of the damage caused by the entry of Yin Qi into the body when possessing the body.Even Wu Qingling couldn't feel the remnants of Yin Qi at all.This is very different from what it looks like after being possessed by a demon.

Zhang Yan couldn't help recalling all the details when he saw Wu Qingling before, that was an ordinary person, not a monk or a warrior.

But now that Wu Qingling was clearly possessed by a fierce ghost, not to mention hiding the other party's evil spirit, she was able to keep her own Yang energy from being corroded, and even her sanity was not affected at all.From the appearance alone, it doesn't look like a person possessed by a ghost. Even Zhang Yan can only sense a very weak sinister aura emanating from Wu Qingling's body, even if he peeps through the paper figurine. It can easily be overlooked.

Why is it so strange?

He kept pondering in his head, walked out of the wheelchair shop, and Zhang Yan was startled when he reached the door of his house, and two words popped out of his mind: psychic medium!

Only this kind of possibility can explain the strange situation in front of Wu Qingling.

The so-called psychic medium is actually not a kind of doorway, but more appropriately, it should be a special kind of physique.This kind of physique is very rare, and generally speaking, one in ten thousand people may not be able to find one.And some special stimulation is needed to activate the ability of this physique.

It seems very mysterious to say it, but in fact there is only one ability of a psychic medium: he can use himself as a container to store ghosts.

In other words, ghost possession, which is extremely harmful to ordinary people, has a different meaning for psychics.As long as the ghost does not stay for a long time, the psychic can almost be immune to the erosion of Yin Qi caused by ghost possession, let alone allow Yin Qi to enter the body.

In Longhushan's records, psychics are a typical example of both good and evil. Some of them use their own physique to use the power of ghosts to do evil, and some of them use this ability to dissolve the hostility of ghosts and perform acts of salvation.

Moreover, psychics are born with yin and yang eyes without any magical assistance. For them, the world is very different from the world in the eyes of ordinary people from the very beginning.

"Psychic mediums are inherited by blood. In this way, it is not easy to come down from the Wu family's blood. Could this be the reason why those ghosts sheltered in the Wu mansion, and the mysterious 'king' came to the Wu family?"

Zhang Yan thought to himself while trying to let the paper figurine talisman fall into the Wu residence.It's a pity that as soon as the paper figurine talisman crossed the courtyard wall, there was an aura covering it, so Zhang Yan could only sigh inwardly, and controlled the paper figurine talisman to fall with the wind like ordinary paper scraps, and finally landed outside the courtyard wall.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yan has not been able to cut into Wu's mansion to observe closely. There are powerful warriors in the mansion who are waiting day and night, and they will not let go of any trouble.He didn't dare to try it either. Once the other party was aware of the existence of the paper figurine, it might lead to many changes. This was not what Zhang Yan wanted.

After the paper figurine fell to the ground and was silently and spontaneously burned to ashes, Zhang Yan regained his full consciousness.Pushing open the door, he smiled and greeted Wang Lanping who was already serving the dishes...

At the same time, Wu Qingling, who had just stepped into the gate of the Wu Mansion, didn't know that the secret on him was discovered by a piece of inconspicuous confetti that followed him from afar. He waved his hand and turned away the followers behind him.

"Clean up the chairs, and I'll take them to grandma myself later." After speaking, Wu Qingling followed the housekeeper to lead her to the study at home.

Wu Yuan didn't go to work today, so he practiced calligraphy in the study after lunch.

"Father." Wu Qingling knocked on the door and promised, pushed the door open and entered the study, closed the door, and bowed to Wu Yuan who was writing seriously at the desk.

"Yeah. Are you back? Is things going well?" Although Wu Yuan doesn't have much official business, he would sit in the yamen even if he is free, instead of staying at home like today.It was all because Wu Qingling's trip today was unusual that he stayed at home and waited for the result.

"Well, it went well. I ran into Zhang Yan as soon as I entered the store. His attitude was not hidden, nor was he pretending to be stupid. It was clear that it was 'the visitor was not kind'. The Ma Shan mouth who died before The leak should have made Zhang Yan stare at me."

Speaking of Ma Shan, Wu Qingling's face was a bit ugly.Up to now, Ma Shan's death is still inexplicable.Most of those bastards were caught, but the matter of Sha Mashan was full of weirdness.Because those bastards also said in unison that they clearly saw that the person who was beaten up was Zhang Yanyun, but it matched the words of Xiao Chongwen and the others.

"How to say?"

"I'd better let Chu Hongyi tell you. I didn't dare to communicate with her all the way. I'm worried that I really have eyes and ears like you guessed." Wu Qingling shook her body as she said.

Following Wu Qingling's shaking, a figure in a red dress broke away from him.It was the female ghost who was attached to him to hide his eyes.

Chapter 95 Murder

The female ghost detached from Wu Qingling's body, floated in the room, and bowed slightly to Wu Yuan who was in front of the desk as a courtesy.

"Chu Hongyi, can you see that Zhang Yan clearly?"

"Well, I see clearly."

"How?" Wu Yuan put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and looked at the female ghost in red with a rare serious expression.

The female ghost seemed to hesitate, and said after a while: "That Zhang Yan is not a person of the Eucharist, and he does not have the sense of tolerance that is unique to the Eucharist."

As soon as the female ghost said this, Wu Yuan nodded. This matter did not exceed his expectations.

But the female ghost went on to say: "But although Zhang Yan is not a person of the Holy Body, he has an aura that makes me very uncomfortable. I want to avoid him from a distance. And his soul is very strong, far stronger than ordinary people. people."

"The soul is very strong? Does it make you feel uncomfortable? You mean that Zhang Yan hides his strength, but he is actually a warrior with high strength?" Wu Qingling next to him glared, very alert to the female ghost's discovery.Because if Zhang Yan was not an ordinary person, then Ma Shan's death might have something to do with Zhang Yan.

However, the female ghost shook her head and rejected Wu Qingling's guess, saying: "Zhang Yan is not a warrior, and his aura is completely different from that of a warrior. It makes me feel even more uneasy."

Having said that, Wu Yuan nodded, and said, "Is it the method of miscellaneous studies?"

Wu Yuan's words made Wu Qingling look over, and asked curiously: "Father, are you talking about Zhang Yan?"

"That's right, I was talking about him. You failed to get rid of Zhang Yan as soon as possible, and Zhou Cang intervened and wanted to protect him with a tough attitude. I asked someone to check Zhang Yan's details in the army. Because The records of military exploits are very strict in the army, so it took a lot of time for the news to come back this time.

In the army, the reason why Zhang Yan was able to plead guilty in just two years and made friends with important figures in the army was due to the means of miscellaneous studies.For example, the wheelchair they opened in Zhangjia this time is exquisite and practical, and it is also a thing in miscellaneous learning.

According to legend, there are very few people in the line of miscellaneous studies, and most of them hide from the world, and what they learn and seek are the principles of the world and the mysteries of heaven and earth.The number of ways is far from that of martial arts, but it is not simple.

The most famous master of miscellaneous studies is "Chen Tang", you must have heard of it, right? "

Although Wu Qingling is a dude, she is not an ignorant person. Hearing the name Chen Tang, a large section of books and records immediately popped up in her mind.

"My son has heard of it. Chen Tang is a friend of the legendary martial sage Xu Fengyang. He helped Xu Fengyang overcome difficulties several times. Later, Xu Fengyang wrote "The Essence of Martial Arts" and it was Chen Tang who helped sort it out and spread it to the world. However, father , you don’t want to say that Chen Tuan is a person of miscellaneous studies?”

"Hehe, of course. Chen Tang is not only a member of the school of miscellaneous studies, but also one of the founders of the school of miscellaneous studies."

Wu Qingling had also heard of miscellaneous studies, but had never seen it, and had never taken it to heart.Now hearing from his father that he has such a big background, he is shocked.

"Father, according to what you said, if Zhang Yan is also a person of miscellaneous studies, wouldn't it be difficult for us to touch him?!"

Wu Yuan shook his head, paced around the room, and said after a while: "It's not that you can't move, but you need to be famous. And now that Zhang Yan's methods are displayed, there may be more variables if this drags on. I'm afraid there will be more than one Zhou Cang who jumped out to protect him."

"Father, could the news be wrong? That Zhang Yan used to be an ordinary person, and his mind was not very bright. Why did he suddenly..."
