Skilled in managing a house

"Let's go and take a look. Although this matter has nothing to do with us on the surface, we are trapped here after all. If we want to leave, we have to rely on the talents of the black market." The tall man said.

There were only eight of them in the yard, and they had nothing to do with each other. They were all here to trade on the black market.

But under the current circumstances, it is inevitable to communicate with each other if something happens. It is said that we are all in the same boat, but in fact it is almost the same. After all, it is easier for them to reach a tacit understanding than those in the black market.

Seeing that the young man's proposal received approval and support from the other two parties, Zhang Yu didn't say anything and nodded directly and said: "Then let's go and take a look!"

After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Yinling and deliberately refused to let the little girl go. But then I thought about it, it was actually safest to be together, but leaving the little girl alone would be dangerous. Therefore, Zhang Yu said nothing.

"Let's go!" the old man said, and he was the first to walk towards the entrance of the courtyard.

The middle-aged man next to him took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Do you want to bring our things with you?"

The old man paused for a step and then said: "No need, being able to go back with your life is more important than anything else. A few magic weapons don't matter."

He didn't care and continued walking forward. The middle-aged man doesn't say much, just keep up. But the middle-aged man's words reminded others.

However, Zhang Yu and others felt that what the old man said was reasonable. Being able to go back with his life saved was more important than anything else. A few magic weapons didn't mean anything.

The tall middle-aged man and the men beside him also walked towards the door together, followed immediately by Zhang Yu, Zhang Yinling, middle-aged men and young people.

The eight people walked out of the yard together and hurried towards the fireworks at the back.

Rushing all the way there, we passed many pavilions and pavilions. These places are all antique buildings. I couldn't see clearly last night, but now I can see that they are indeed Taoist temples.

This made Zhang Yu even more puzzled, how could the black market be a Taoist temple, and what was the origin of Laojun Palace.

The Laojun Palace is indeed large enough, and its scale is no less than that of the Wudang Taoist Temple on Guangming Mountain. On the island, this mountain is not big, but it is really rare to build such a Taoist temple.

On the way there, I really didn’t see anyone. I don’t know if everyone from the black market has arrived, or the black market suffered too heavy losses during the tsunami last night, and there aren’t many people left.

The fireworks lasted for a long time, and Zhang Yu and the others were very fast. After passing through several yards, they finally arrived at the yard where the fireworks were.

There were a lot of people gathered in the courtyard at this moment, at least number seventy or eighty. Some of these people were wearing black clothes and some were wearing white robes. At first glance, they were all black market attire. However, there are also a few who wear Taoist robes, including white Taoist robes and black Taoist robes. It’s just that not many people wear robes.

Because there were so many people, they formed a semi-circle. Zhang Yu and others could not see anything outside. However, everyone's attention seemed to be within the circle, and no one noticed them standing at the entrance of the courtyard.

There is a reason why Zhang Yu and the others did not encounter anyone from the black market along the way. The main reason is that the location they live in is relatively remote from Laojun Palace, and they are not familiar with the route, so their arrival is naturally slow. As for the people in the black market, as soon as they saw the fireworks, they ran away. Except for those who were on duty and were not allowed to move without permission, everyone came over. The location of these people is much closer than Zhang Yu's yard.

Opposite the circle formed by everyone, there were about ten people standing, including the purple-robed man, the Great Protector, Wei Jianlin, Zhao Minghua, Tan Fuyang, and four blue-robed men. In addition, there is a middle-aged woman. This woman is wearing a Taoist robe, but her hair is not in a bun but in a bun. She looks like a noble lady. Next to the lady, there was a boy standing. This boy was the young master that Zhang Yu and the others saw when they came to the black market on the first day. Next to the young master, there is a white-robed Taoist in his mid-twenties and a black-robed Taoist in his late thirties.

In addition to those standing, there were also people lying on the ground. There were seven corpses in total, lying in a row, two men and five women. These seven people were all wearing black Taoist robes.

Before Zhang Yu and others arrived, Wei Jianlin and others had already seen the corpse. The wounds on the corpse were all caused by Buddhist beads. According to the judgment of the Great Protector, he should be the same person who attacked the granary.

The expression on the Great Protector's face was solemn. He kept pacing back and forth, and after a while, he came to the lady. He bowed and said, "Madam, you live in this courtyard. I don't know what the situation was when the incident happened."

The lady said: "I was sleeping in the room at the time. Because I heard the report and knew that something happened on the island, I stepped up the vigilance and asked the seven of them to stay together tonight. I was sleeping when the message cannon sounded, and I heard After that, I got up. When I came out with the magic weapon, I only saw their bodies and no one else. Jiudou came out of the room on the back foot, and you all came one after another."

The black-clothed Taoist priest standing next to the young master was named Xue Jiudou. After the lady finished speaking, he immediately bowed and said: "Uncle, my wife is right. I was also sleeping at the time. After hearing the message, I immediately rushed out with my magic weapon to check. I came out a step later than my wife, and I didn’t see anyone else when I came out. I just saw the bodies of my junior brothers and sisters.”

The Great Protector nodded slightly and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.

At this time, Tan Fuyang suddenly walked up to the Great Protector and said, "Madam, I would like to ask, did you move the body when you came out of the room?"

"No," said the lady.

"No." Xue Jiudou also shook his head.

"This is strange..." Tan Fuyang turned to look at the Great Protector and said: "Brother, although your eyesight is inconvenient, you can definitely find that these seven corpses are lying in a row, but they are slightly uneven. It stands to reason. He said that they were on duty at night and should be spread out, with open and hidden sentries, so that they would not be caught all at once. But they all died in one place, which is obviously not what they should be..."

As soon as these words came out, many people present nodded, thinking that what Tan Fuyang said was very reasonable.

Wei Jianlin then said: "Junior Brother Tan is right. There is definitely something wrong with this situation of dying together... At this moment, I suspect that the person who killed them is probably someone they know..."

"That's right!" Zhao Minghua took a step forward and said, "It's very possible that this person is someone they know. Maybe his status is not low. Otherwise, how could the seven of them, as disciples of the headmaster, stand in a row obediently? , and it hasn’t made any loud noise to disturb the sleeping ladies.”

"It makes sense." "It makes sense." "That makes sense."... Everyone present nodded their heads.
