I'm catching monsters in Liaozhai

North of the city.

Manxianglou.

There is a small courtyard next to Manxiang Tower.

A table covered with tawny silk cloth was placed in the middle of the small courtyard.

There is an incense burner placed on it.

Three incense sticks are burning in the furnace.

An old Taoist priest was shaking a palm-sized yellow bell in his hand, and was walking around the offering table while mumbling something.

A few meters away.

There was also a tall, middle-aged man in his thirties standing.

He is the boss of Manxiang Tower, Wang Deman.

Wang Deman was originally a low-class local scoundrel. If he had not been helped by noble people and had no bad luck, he would have been stealing and eating like this all his life, waiting to die.

There is a saying that goes well.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

His brother-in-law, Lang Xiaoer, was originally just a small leader of the former Black Panther Gang. He accidentally became one of the Four King Kongs, and then accidentally founded the Wolf Gang and became the leader of the gang.

Therefore, he also ascended to heaven in one step.

He used some means to take over other people's Manxiang Tower as his own.

This is the largest restaurant in Shicheng.

Rijin Doujin.

Wang Deman, who got Manxiang Tower, could lie down directly.

I thought that such good days would continue, but I didn't expect that a restaurant named Shenxianju would appear in the south of the city.

Directly compared to his Manxiang Tower.

Although the daily income of his Manxiang Tower is still considerable, compared with before, it is completely different.

This made him very dissatisfied.

then.

He found his brother-in-law, Xiaoer.

That is, the current leader of the Canglang Gang, Canglang.

He hoped that Canglang could help and suppress Manxianglou.

But who knows, after telling him, Canglang not only refused to help him.

Instead, he scolded him and told him not to cause trouble to Manxianglou in the future.

Wang Deman agreed verbally, but how could he endure this tone.

Not only did he not listen, but he felt that Canglang, who now owned nearly two-thirds of Shicheng's territory, was less courageous than before.

Wang Deman knew a little bit about the background of the Immortal Tower. Since Canglang wouldn't let him cause trouble, he naturally couldn't do it openly.

I am also afraid that I will be scolded by the wolf.

If you can't do it openly, then do it secretly.

That's always okay.

He thought of bribing the chef of Shenxian Tower.

But I didn't expect that after I paid such a high salary, the lame cook wouldn't pay him any attention.

Just when he wanted to teach the lame man a lesson, a friend introduced him to Daochang Hao.

A strange man who can call the wind and rain, and is omnipotent.

When Wang Deman heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

He asked people to invite Taoist Hao and told him his situation.

Daochang Hao said that he could let the Immortal Tower collapse without anyone noticing.

but.

He also pointed out that this was extremely draining on his energy.

Wang Deman naturally understands.

He promised to give him a thousand taels of silver as a reward for his hard work if he succeeded.

that's it.

The two hit it off.

Therefore, the fortune of Shenxian Tower has been stolen in the past few days.

"call--!"

A gust of wind blew by.

Five green ghosts held hands and floated down from the sky to the front of the altar table where Taoist Hao was performing the ritual.

The five green ghosts opened their mouths and spit out wisps of gas.

The five ghosts who exhaled gas suddenly seemed to have collapsed, and their originally illusory figures became even more illusory.

Then, with a hiss, it turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into a small jar on the altar table.

Taoist priest Hao quickly rang the bell to gather all the gas exhaled by the five ghosts into one ball, and then waved the hand holding the bell towards Manxiang Tower.

That ball of gas suddenly exploded like a cloud and disappeared into the corners of Manxiang Tower...

After finishing all this, Taoist Hao couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath.

Naturally, Wang Deman couldn't see the five ghosts.

But he could feel the cold atmosphere just now.

At the same time, he also believed in Daochang Hao's abilities.

Because these days, Manxianglou's income is indeed much higher than before.

"Master Hao, thank you for your hard work."

Wang Deman quickly stepped forward to support the other party.

"Take people's money to eliminate disasters for them. Since I promised Boss Wang, this hard work is also deserved."

Daochang Hao said, "If this process continues, the Immortal Tower will be closed in less than half a month."

His powers are limited.

So we can only let the five ghosts carry each other's wealth little by little every night.

"It's a good move!"

at this time.

A figure clapped his hands and walked out of the darkness.

This shocked Wang Deman and Hao Daoren.

Wang Deman quickly came to his senses, stared at the man and said, "Who are you?"

The man smiled and did not answer, but asked: "Are you Wang Deman?"

"Yes. I am Wang Deman."

Wang Deman narrowed his eyes slightly and pulled out a dagger, "I don't care who you are, if you know our secret today, then I have to kill you. If you want to blame, just blame yourself for coming here."

After saying that, he rushed forward with a dagger.

"boom--!"

The man kicked Wang Deman on the chest and kicked him away.

Wang Deman's face was red and he was breathing heavily. It took him a while to get up.

The man looked at him and said, "I just want to ask you a question. Does this matter have anything to do with Canglang?"

"who are you?"

Wang Deman frowned.

"Xu Lang." The man said calmly.

"It's you, you are Xu Lang!"

Wang Deman turned pale in shock, but then he sneered, "Even if you are Xu Lang, so what, do you still want to kill us?"

"Killing you is just a snap of the fingers." Xu Lang said.

"Aren't you afraid that my brother-in-law will take revenge on me?" Wang Deman said.

"I'm afraid, so I asked if this matter has anything to do with Canglang." Xu Lang said with a smile.

That smile immediately chilled Wang Deman's heart. This wasn't fear, it was clearly...

"So, can you answer what I just said now? Does this matter have anything to do with Canglang?" Xu Lang said again.

"This matter is my own idea."

Wang Deman's throat rolled.

Although the young man in front of him always had a calm tone.

Just an ordinary person.

But it put a lot of pressure on him.

"Is that so? Taoist Priest!"

Xu Lang turned to look at Daochang Hao.

"That's true." Taoist priest Hao nodded quickly.

"So, Taoist Priest, you helped others steal the wealth from my Immortal Tower. How do you think I should handle this matter?" Xu Lang asked.

"Boss Xu, you won't suffer too much loss this time. Look, I will give you all of my one thousand taels of silver this time, Boss Xu. What do you think?" Hao Daochang said.

"not so good."

Xu Lang shook his head and said, "This Taoist priest, as a Taoist, you sold yourself for just one thousand taels. It seems that if you can cultivate the Tao, it would be better not to practice at all."

"What do you want?" Hao Daozhang asked.

"You'd better not practice Taoism anymore."

Xu Lang said, grabbing Taoist Hao with one hand...
