one's door

At the end of the day, Zhang Shun's physical strength was also tested, and his words were almost broken.Both arms were also sore and limp.

In fact, it is much better now. At the beginning, Zhang Shun was so sore when he pushed the wheelchair around for a day, and his arms were so sore that they were going to be broken. Now his arms are thicker, and although he is also tired, he will not be sore the next day.

After closing the store door, they simply took stock of today's harvest, and then they left together.In addition to Liu Carpenter and Zhang Huiyuan, the younger sister who was nailed in the shop, there was also Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan said that the business in the store is good now, and the money tickets are collected every day, and the road at night is not safe, so he can gain momentum when he comes here.With more than two years of experience in the military, this statement is still very convincing.Not to mention anything else, three or five people like Qingpi will definitely not be able to enter Zhang Yan's body, which has been fulfilled before.

When they arrived at Zhuzui Lane, the group saw the guards patrolling over, and felt a sense of security in their hearts.During this period of time, the garrison's frequent patrols on Zhuzui Lane made everyone in Zhuzui Lane both surprised and happy.The simplest effect is that after the garrison strengthens the patrol here, even thieves and thieves can hardly be seen here.

Carpenter Liu returned to his home as usual, and it was his son who hadn't seen him for a long time who opened the door for him.Recently, Zhang Yan also heard that Carpenter Liu is planning to let his son come to the shop to help.The business is so good that he can't make so many orders by himself.

That's right, it's an order.Now the "Zhang Ji" wheelchair workshop has been in short supply.The inventory made before the store opened has bottomed out.Now I can only accept a deposit, and then pay out bit by bit.Zhang Shun even regretted that he didn't listen to Zhang Yan's advice and rented a bigger store. There were too many people, and the store was already crowded, which prevented the experience store from being able to maximize its significance.

Back home, it was a table of delicious dishes prepared by Wang Lanping.The whole family sat around the table talking and laughing while eating, it was very lively.This scene fell in Wang Lanping's eyes, always grinning from ear to ear.The children in the family have things to do and are striving for success, so she, as a mother, feels at ease.In a few months, we will really start talking about a marriage with the boss Zhang Shun as the second son said.

Looking at the chattering little girl Zhang Huiyuan again, Wang Lanping decided to come down and ask the little girl, this daughter's family should also make preparations earlier.It's just that I don't know which family can be lucky enough to find a good girl like myself.Wang Lanping said secretly.

After dinner, it was Zhang Yan who helped wash the dishes.Zhang Shun was inconvenient, Zhang Huiyuan was too tired and didn't want to move, so Zhang Yan naturally wanted to help.

When they came out after washing the dishes, Zhang Shun and Zhang Huiyuan couldn't talk anymore, and each yawned frequently.

"I'm so sleepy, what are you talking about? I'm going to boil some water, and you can go to sleep after washing. Yan'er, go outside and bring back two buckets of water, or I'm afraid it won't be enough tomorrow morning."

"it is good!"

The biggest inconvenience in Zhuzui Lane is going to the toilet and taking a shower.The second is water.The only water intake point in the whole alley is the large well on the flat dam in the middle of the alley.The water inside is the source of living and drinking water for everyone in the alley.

To say how clean it is, Zhang Yan dare not say, he can only ensure that there is no peculiar smell, and then boil it to drink.

When I came out with a load, the sky was already dark, and it would be curfew time soon, so there were not many people wandering outside, even at the usually bustling well, there were not many people around at this time.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the few people who were chatting by the well couldn't help shivering. They looked at the sky one after another, didn't stay any longer, and went home.For a moment, Zhang Yan was the only one left in this Pingba.

And Zhang Yan looked around, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he didn't know what he was laughing at.

"Bang!" Throw the bucket down, stir it twice to fill it up, lift it up, and then pour it into the two buckets brought by Zhang Yan.After the sound of the rushing water, there was still a little light in the water to form a reflection, but what was printed was not only Zhang Yan's face, but also a human face behind his head, which was pale with a bit of resentment. Xi's long hair fell down and almost fell to Zhang Yan's face.

Zhang Yan: "..."

Relying on "Yin Yang Pupil Art", Zhang Yan naturally saw everything clearly, knowing that a female ghost was approaching very close behind him.But with the Qi shield pinched on his body, the magical steps under his feet are also prepared, and even the Wanxiang beads in his sleeves are ready to respond at any time.There is also a feeling of dancing on the tip of the knife, but at least I know it well, and I dare to do it when I am sure that I will not be hurt.

Just when Zhang Yan was about to bend down to bring up another bucket of water, he clearly felt a strong force coming from his back, pushing him forward. Seeing that Zhang Yan lost his balance and would fall into the well, Zhang Yan Yan's feet twisted for some reason, and his body moved a few feet smoothly with a very strange movement. Not only did he not fall into the well, but he also took off the thrust behind him.

When he regained his footing, he was already holding a strange long sword in his hand, smiling at the female ghost frowning by the well.The push behind him just now was done by the opponent.

Zhang Yan didn't even need to guess to know the idea of ​​the female ghost behind it.It was also after he pretended to be ignorant of the other party before, that the other party's judgment seemed a little too indifferent to him.

If it were any other ordinary person, with the push behind the back and the posture of bending over to carry the bucket, they would definitely be pushed into the well.Then the female ghost only needs to float down and hold the opponent's head to prevent the opponent from breathing, and she can smoothly create a death scene of "accidentally falling into the well and drowning".

Without other injuries, who can say one, two, three about the real method of death by drowning?

It's a pity that Zhang Yan is not an ordinary person. Even if he is not a warrior, the Taoist methods he has learned are not bad for moving alone.Especially after suffering from poor body shape once, even if he still walks like a god, but after adding the understanding of escapism, Zhang Yan's body shape has long been different from before.

Also, the sword Zhang Yan was holding in his hand at this time was no longer the mahogany sword, but replaced with a real magic weapon: the five-coin sword.

Wuqian refers to five copper coins of different ages and styles.It represents the five emperors of heaven, so it is called "five emperors' money".Each of these copper coins is refined with a magic weapon, and then these copper coins are bound into swords with brass wires to form a whole magic weapon long sword with its own magic circle combination.

Before the female ghost could open her mouth, Zhang Yan raised her hand and sprinkled a handful of talismans, turning into sparks all over the sky, and disappearing again in a few breaths, covering a radius of more than ten feet with an invisible blindfold.

The Big Dipper has seven yuan, and the spirit dominates the sky.

The great sage of Tiangang is extremely majestic.

Go up and down, cut off the source of evil...

Gold talismans emerged out of thin air following Zhang Yan's chanting, densely packed and locked all the escape routes around the female ghost.

Chapter 100 Different

"you!"

The female ghost Chu Hongyi was stunned!It was only a few breaths of time, how could there be such a big change?The attack and killing that seemed to be going well at first suddenly reversed, and she became a thing in the urn instead.

Speaking of which, the attack and killing of Chu Hongyi tonight was rather reluctant.Because it's not her job.It was because of the selfishness of the Wu family father and son, who used Tang Niu's disappearance as an excuse, and then asked her to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Although she is a fierce ghost, Chu Hongyi has her own status, and the backing behind her gives her a clear meaning of existence.But under the persecution of Wu's father and son, she was worried that Tang Niu's matter would be misunderstood by Wu's father and son, and she would be punished in front of the "king", so she finally chose to compromise.

I really don't want to get close to that ordinary person named Zhang Yan.Chu Hongyi always felt that that person would give her an extremely dangerous feeling, and wanted to avoid it far away.Just like the beast facing the wildfire.

Resisting the urge to stay away, Chu Hongyi still tentatively approached Zhang Yan, and repeatedly approached. After several times, she was sure that the other party did not seem to be able to detect her existence, but the feeling on her body that made her feel dangerous was due to her approaching. And become bigger.But no real damage.

Only in this way did Chu Hongyi feel relieved, laughing at himself for being too sensitive.Thinking of finding a suitable time to kill this person and eat his soul before leaving.Now Langyuan City is not stable, and she still has no clue about Tang Niu's disappearance.Even Tang Wan was held down by her in the deep well of the Wu Mansion and not allowed to come out.

It is not difficult for Chu Hongyi to kill a person as if he died accidentally.So when she saw Zhang Yan bending over to fetch water, she moved, her intention was exactly the same as what Zhang Yan guessed afterwards, that was to drown him.As a result, Zhang Yan usually slipped away without saying a word, and the battle that took place within a few breaths was so shocking that Chu Hongyi couldn't utter a word with his mouth open.

The subsequent changes were even more rapid and shocking. Chu Hongyi saw that Zhang Yan had a strange long sword in his hand at some point, and at the same time bursts of inexplicable tones sounded, the voice was indescribably solemn and shocking, like a With a huge hammer, it struck her soul body fiercely again and again.This feeling was something Chu Hongyi had never experienced before, and she even found that something in her soul was being beaten out invisible by these syllables.

At this moment, Chu Hongyi had no idea to think about why the Zhang Yan in front of him, who hadn't noticed her before, suddenly became like a killing god.She felt that if she didn't think of a way, today would be dangerous.

Maybe... just like what the Wu family father and son said in the words of killing people with a knife, Tang Niu had an accident when he went hunting in the mass graves. It was really Zhang Yan who happened to be out of the city at the time. !

Zhang Yan on the opposite side didn't know that the female ghost he faced would have so many thoughts in such a short time.Now that he has learned the lesson from the previous mass graves, it is best not to talk to the fierce ghosts in the Wu Mansion, since they can't ask anything anyway, it is better to cut the mess quickly and save the other party first, so as not to change later and throw them away A big piece of fat.

So when Zhang Yan came up, he took the lead in "The Big Dipper Mantra". At the same time, he used the five-coin sword in his hand to amplify the power of the mantra, and then aroused the righteousness of the world to integrate into the golden seal produced by the mantra. He hoped to use the fastest The speed first washes away the evil and hostility in the body of the ghost in front of you, and then facilitates the follow-up "The Wonderful Sutra of Resolving Injustice and Eviction" to complete the process.

But just after reading two paragraphs of "The Big Dipper Great God's Curse", the power started to take effect, Zhang Yan saw that the female ghost trapped in the imprint of the magic spell began to struggle against other ghosts.

I saw the female ghost rushing left and right, and even wanted to sneak into the ground, but after being stopped by the mark of the divine curse, she changed her tricks.He actually turned his hands into two long knives, slashing wildly like a praying mantis, and it can be seen that the number of ways he slashes is quite methodical and not random.Even through the feedback on the imprint of the divine spell, the strength and sharpness of the opponent's chopping are still extremely high.If it wasn't for the divine mantra to conquer evil and the five-money sword, she might have cut some flaws.

"What method is this?"

The methods of Li Guihui are limited, either hallucinations, or ghost claws and ghost howls, or possessing to harm people, at most, add some skills such as soul devouring.But why did it ever say that Li Gui can turn his soul into a weapon and fight with disciplined martial arts?

This has never appeared even in Longhushan's miscellaneous notes.

"This should be considered a kind of magic technique, right?" Zhang Yan secretly speculated in his heart, and at the same time, the "Big Dipper Curse" in his mouth also slowed down.He wanted to try more on what the other party's weird method was.

So Zhang Yan's figure flickered, and his feet were as nimble as oil on the female ghost, and the five-coin sword in his hand confronted the opponent one by one.It was soon determined that the opponent really knew the sword technique, but it was not the kind of sword technique on earth, but the unique warrior technique in the wild world.And the weirdest thing is that the opponent's weaponized hands actually showed strong resistance when facing the five-coin sword, instead of being cut by the five-coin sword like a pure soul body.

"Through weaponization to evade the evil spirit in one's own soul, to the point where it can compete with a magic weapon like the five-money sword?!"

Zhang Yan was really shocked.What surprised him even more was the intelligence of the other party.The words first begged, then threatened, and finally tried to hope that Zhang Yan would negotiate a strike with it.He even said that as long as Zhang Yan lets go, he is willing to help Zhang Yan kill Wu's father and son to avenge Yunyun...

If this is another occasion, how is this female ghost different from a normal living person?

This kind of wisdom is very rare in Li Gui.Because generally speaking, ghosts are not equal to living souls, and there will always be a shortage of spiritual inheritance, which causes them to behave strangely.But for the one in front of him, Zhang Yan really couldn't feel the difference in intelligence between the other party and a normal living person.

Perhaps because he sensed that Zhang Yan was "teasing" on purpose, like a cat playing with a mouse, Chu Hongyi couldn't stand it anymore, and understood that he was in danger today.In the end, he could only utter cruel words, saying that if Zhang Yan killed her, bad luck would soon come. At that time, Zhang Yan and the Zhang family would struggle in the quagmire of pain, and finally become the object of their mouths.

Zhang Yan didn't take the other party's threats to heart at all.He even looked forward to the "trouble" after saving this female ghost. It would be best if the hidden "King" could come and increase his knowledge, at worst, use the "God's Arrival Technique" again, anyway, his Biqing Dan already has an idea and can afford it.

With this thought in mind, there is no longer any new ability to detect the other party.Zhang Yan jumped out, no longer entangled with the other party, and continued to recite the "Bei Diou Da Shen Mantra" to continue to squeeze the evil spirit and hostility in the other party's soul, ready to complete the transcendence.

Chapter 101 Panic

It was rare for Wu Qingling to stay honestly in the Wu Mansion without going anywhere.After Wu Yuan went to work in the morning, he sat in the gazebo in the backyard. He didn't move the place until Wu Yuan came back from work in the afternoon. He didn't even eat any food. He just ate some pastries and drank a little water in between.

Wu Yuan didn't go to the study as usual after his business trip, but asked someone to put the food in the gazebo, where the father and son seemed to be eating and chatting.

After serving the dishes, the servants walked away and did not dare to approach, especially the ashen complexion of Young Master Wu, so that they didn't even raise their heads.Even the old butler was the same, he quickly left after greeting his servants.The small garden where the entire gazebo is located is only the father and son of the Wu family.

After everyone had left, Wu Yuan poured a glass of wine for his son, glanced at a deep well in a flower bed not far from the gazebo, and asked, "How is it? Have you not returned yet?"

Wu Qingling shook his head. He has been guarding since before dawn until now, but he still hasn't seen Chu Hongyi who went out yesterday afternoon.

"Father, do you think something happened to Chu Hongyi too?" Wu Qingling's voice clearly showed some anxiety.This is rarely seen in him who has always been smooth sailing.

Wu Qingling couldn't help being in a hurry.Yesterday afternoon, Chu Hongyi, who was finally persuaded, left the Wu residence. The purpose of this trip was to follow Zhang Yan first, to see if there was a suitable opportunity to kill him.Make it look like some kind of accidental death, and that'll get the trouble out of the way once and for all.Then I will clean up the people related to Zhang Yan, as well as some tails that have been designed.

In Wu Yuan's words, it is to "clean up as soon as possible".Wu Qingling also sensed a sense of urgency from his father's words, as if there was something he didn't know was pressing on his father's shoulders.In fact, this can be seen from the fact that his father forced Chu Hongyi to take action.Because this is different from the strategy against Zhang Yan that my father said before.

But what was thought to be a surefire thing at this time turned out to be an accident.Chu Hongyi, who was supposed to come back in the middle of the night, didn't return all night, and even disappeared at the end of the next day.

This is unusual.And thinking of the consequences, Wu Qingling was restless.One must know that Chu Hongyi was called by their father and son to go here.Now that something happened, the carelessness of their father and son would never be concealed. Once the "king" pursued him, it would be no joke.

Although Wu Qingling only met the "Wang" a few years ago, she was deeply impressed. The fear and awe of the "Wang" has never diminished by half.

Wu Yuan picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, then looked at his son, motioning for him to talk while eating.

"You don't need to guess, if you haven't returned now, something must have happened."

"Isn't that really related to that Zhang Yan?"

"It's hard to say." Wu Yuan didn't say anything dead.It seems there are other ideas.

Wu Qingling was a little anxious when she heard the words, and asked quickly: "Why is it hard to say? Father, this matter has nothing to do with us. If Tang Niu and Chu Hongyi's accidents are all related to that Zhang Yan, or push it to Zhang Yan If we go to the body, at least we will be less guilty in front of the 'king', and maybe even exonerated from the crime..."

But before Wu Qingling finished speaking, Wu Yuan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, frowning, and didn't let him continue.

"I told you that your cleverness must be used in the right place, otherwise it will not be clever but stupid. In addition, you can't always worry about the result in a panic, but think about how to avoid it before the result comes out. "Wu Yuan said, without stopping the chopsticks in his hand, he ate the food in small mouthfuls.

Seeing her father like this, Wu Qingling also took a deep breath, picked up the bowls and chopsticks in front of her and started to eat.He was really hungry, and he followed his father's example to calm himself down as soon as possible.

The father and son ate in silence for a meal.After three bowls of rice, Wu Qingling put down the bowls and chopsticks, while Wu Yuan, who was opposite him, was already full after eating just one bowl, drinking tea and waiting for him.

Wu Yuan was very satisfied with his son's silence.Regardless of whether he really calmed down or not, at least his son is clearly trying to calm himself down, which is a good start.When the limelight is over, Wu Yuan is about to start throwing his son into the big dye vat of official career.

Of course, this hurdle has to be passed at the moment.

"Our Wu family is born different from most people, this special physique has brought us a lot of troubles and also brought us fortunes.

They said that we are the "Holy Body", hehe, Qing Ling, do you think we are the Holy Body? "

Wu Qingling thought for a while, then nodded, and said, "It should be, otherwise why would others not?"

Thinking back, when he was able to see those "spirits", Wu Qingling was often frightened. It was because he was still young, and he was more resistant to his own ability.Only when I grew up later did I realize that this is actually the lifeblood of the family, and I also accepted the "Holy Body" that the "spirit" said.Be different and feel superior.

"Bullshit 'Holy Body'." Wu Yuan took a sip of wine, with a rare look of disdain on his face.Seeing the surprised expression on his son's face, he continued: "The world is ever-changing. Although our Wu family's bloodline is strange, it is only one of the thousands of changes. How can it be the Holy Body? Can it go to the sky or enter the earth? It's just the next door. Bragging, it's just used to wash your and my brains, you can use it as a claim, but you can't really believe that.

In fact, the word "mutual benefit" is more appropriate.You have been messing around outside for so many years, you should be able to understand what I said, right? "

Although the content of the words had a great impact on Wu Qingling, he had seen the world, so he could understand the meaning of his father's words without using his brain.So he nodded again and again.

Wu Yuan went on to say: "Since it is 'mutual benefit', don't put your position on the other side. Our Wu family has its own foothold and is not a servant of the 'king'. Even those sad "spirits" We have always regarded us as such, but we must be aware of the distance in our hearts, and don't really put ourselves down.

So don't be afraid.

But things are not something you can just perfunctory or transfer over with your cleverness.Need to be watertight. "

"My child is stupid, so I ask my father to teach me!" Wu Qingling asked for advice while refilling a cup of hot tea for her father.He suddenly understood that maybe this was his father waiting for him to teach him a crucial lesson for the Wu family's blood to survive in the world.If it weren't for this sudden incident, I don't know when this lesson will be postponed.

Wu Yuan took a sip of tea, and said seriously: "Facts are facts, there is no need to deliberately transfer them to Zhang Yan. Chu Hongyi has already had an accident, just like Tang Niu. So who can know that we let her go? "

"But father, if we hadn't asked her to find Zhang Yan, she..."

Wu Yuan interrupted his son again, saying: "Remember, we didn't ask her to find Zhang Yan, but she went to Langyuan City to find out why Tang Niu disappeared."

Chapter 102 Two sides

Wu Yuan never felt that he was born to be so-and-so's servant.How can there be such absurd things in this world?Do you want to humiliate yourself just because of your unusual physique?There is no such reason.

Not only Wu Yuan, but all the senior members of the Wu family also had the same idea as Wu Yuan, and they all hid it well.On the surface, he bowed his head, but secretly he had his own calculations.

It is precisely by relying on the ability of these two faces that the Wu family changed the family's destiny little by little from the bottom of the ordinary people, and after five generations, they have the majesty and prestige of sitting in a big city.

The reason is also very simple.Relying on the "king", using the other party's means to overcome some difficult hurdles in the official career, so that the future will become smoother, and naturally you will slowly find a path for promotion and gradually go straight up.

In return, the Wu family has always acted as a cover for the "spirits" under the "king" and provided these "spirits" with sufficient growth.There are too many twists and turns here.And it didn't happen overnight, it was gradually raised according to the Wu family's status and ability.

The reason is basically the special physique of the Wu family.The "king" called it "holy body" and called himself "holy king", with the same word first, but the Wu family who owned "holy body" was not equal enough and could only be a servant.Similar to a vassal relationship.Of course, the Wu family did not approve of this vassal relationship in their hearts.

Wu Yuan originally planned to tell his son these words after he officially entered the official career, because at that time his son's mind would be more mature and his vision would be wider, and he would dilute the so-called "" The ridiculous impression of "Holy Eucharist", and adjusted the relationship with the "king" and distinguished family interests in the city.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, Tang Niu and Chu Hongyi had accidents one after another, so Wu Yuan had to advance his son's lesson, because if his son still kept his eyes on the "king" at this time, it would be a big problem for Wu Yuan. home in great trouble.At this time, the interests of the Wu family should come first.

Wu Qingling's brain is not stupid, on the contrary, he is a very smart person, otherwise he would not have done evil for so many years but never left anything for others to catch.And for his father, he is very convinced in his heart.So even though what he heard just now was shocking enough, he could still think of the key point, which was the words "Wu family's interests".In addition, since she was a child, although the idea of ​​"Holy Body" has been deeply rooted in Wu Qingling's heart, it can't be said to be deeply rooted because of the family's intentional or unintentional downplaying, and the subversion is not particularly difficult to accept now.

However, Wu Qingling still put forward her own thoughts and said, "Father, if you don't acknowledge the matter of Zhang Yan, how should you explain Chu Hongyi's going out?"

"In this world, one thing descends from another. Those 'spirits' rely on devouring living souls or their own kind to feed on. Naturally, some people prey on them. You will not forget the white-faced scholar 15 years ago, right?"

White-faced scholar? 15 years ago?

After these two words were connected together, a past event deep in Wu Qingling's memory was pulled out.At that time, he was still young, and his cognition of "spirit" and his own "Holy Body" was still in the stage of consolidation.At that time, he felt that he was very special, and he was proud of the power of the "spirit" and the ability to communicate with the "spirit".Until the white-faced scholar appeared.

Wu Qingling still can't forget the scene of the white-faced scholar looking for the powerful "spirit" as a snack to feed the monster on his shoulder. He can only hide it deep in his heart and don't want to think about it.Now being mentioned by his father, he swallowed subconsciously, his legs trembling slightly.

"Father, do you think that Zhang Yan is the same as that white-faced scholar?" Wu Qingling felt terrified at the mention of his father, and the fear deep in his memory was instantly awakened, and even brought the peculiarity of Zhang Yan's body together. I contacted the white-faced scholar everywhere.

But Wu Yuan shook his head and said: "The white-faced scholar can control monsters. Apart from being fair and clean, it is no different from a human race, so it should be a rare monster. Zhang Yan has been in the army for more than two years, and if it were a monster, there would be no bones left.

Therefore, we don't need to specifically say what Chu Hongyi did, we just need to tell the story of "Tang Niu disappeared first, and then Chu Hongyi went out to look for it".We don't know anything about it. "
