Best Ascension

Chapter 324

The two suns are rising, and the morning glow is all over the sky.

The gate of Zou's manor opened slowly, and the Patriarch of the Zou family and a group of people walked out surrounded by Zhao Sheng and Gui Li.

Ouch!

With the roar of tigers, two white tigers galloped from a distance dragging the rune speeder, and stopped in front of Zhao Sheng and others in a blink of an eye.

"Patriarch Zou, please stay!" Seeing this, Guili turned around and saluted Patriarch Zou, touching his chest.

"It's a mere gift, and I invite the two adults to accept it with a smile!"

Old Patriarch Zou smiled all over his face, raised his hand as a signal, and saw the servants at the side immediately stepped forward and offered two mahogany carved boxes.

There was no need to be courteous at all, Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, and his own coachman stepped forward to accept the two "small gifts".

The farewell gift is a tradition handed down from ancient times in Hufeng County and even the entire Dagu Dynasty.Of course, the status of the guests is different, and the thickness of the gift received is also very different.

At this time, Guili suddenly looked at Zhao Sheng and persuaded him, "Sanbao, do you really have to go with me? Why don't you stay in the manor for a few days. How about senior brother come to pick you up after three days?"

"Senior brother, don't be so long-winded. Let's talk about breaking the sky today, and I also want to see how Zhengfaxiu subdue demons and demons." Zhao Sheng said with a curious expression and a very firm tone.

"Brother Bao, don't go! Why don't we go with you too!" An accompanying Taoist rolled his eyes and begged suddenly.

"That's right! The Zou Family Manor has food, drink, and many fun games. Why does Senior Brother Bao have to go to that filthy and despicable place in person?"

"Brother, wherever you go, I, Fang Xing, will follow!"

"Hmph, don't talk about it." Zhao Sheng heard this, and said coldly with impatience on his face: "Master, I will go back now. Don't persuade any of you, just stay here. Don't cause trouble for me. Don't make a big fuss either. Otherwise, after returning to the mountain, I will look good to you."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Sheng looked at a boy with a round face, and said: "Zou Qi, this is your home, please take care of these for me. It will benefit you in the future."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Bao, I'll definitely entertain several Junior Brothers." The round-faced boy quickly patted his chest to assure him.

"Hmph, I, Fang Xing, entered the mountain a year earlier than you, Zou Qi, so I should be a senior brother." The chubby tall boy next to him yelled immediately after hearing this.

Zhao Sheng ignored the two pieces of goods, turned around and jumped on the speeding car, got into the car and lay down on a recline.

Seeing this, Gui Li shook his head, nodded at the Zou family members again, and also dodged into the car.

Hey!
Following the coachman's whistle, the two white tigers rushed out, and the rune speeder quickly galloped into the distance.

After running for more than ten miles, Zhao Sheng in the carriage opened the mahogany carving box.

As far as the eye can see, a row of egg-sized, jade-white low-grade spirit stones are neatly placed on the red silk, emitting a faint fluorescence.

"Hehe, including mine, there are a total of twenty spirit stones. The Zou family has counted the capital this time." Gui Li also lifted the lid of the box, and after looking at the contents, a smile appeared on his face.

"Well, there is also the stack of talismans. The Zou family also sold 36 pieces of spirit stones to buy them all. The price is [-]% higher than the market price. Brother, when the spirit stones are delivered to the mountain, how about we split them?"

"Hey, Sanbao, why did you change your temper this time? You are willing to give the brother a dividend?" Gui Li was very surprised after hearing this.

Zhao Sheng closed the lid, and said calmly: "Brother, I am no longer a three-year-old child. I should have understood the rules long ago. Since ancient times, eating alone will not end well."

"Sambo, you have such awareness at a young age. Brother is very optimistic about you, and the mantle will depend on you in the future." Gui Li smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said half-truth.

"Senior brother, my three treasures...!"

While the two were talking on the road, thirty miles passed by in the blink of an eye.

Under the guidance of the guide, the rune speeder rushed into a dilapidated village.

"Where's Liu San, the head of your village? Hurry up and call over to meet the nobleman. Today, the two mages from the Requiem Temple are here to exterminate demons and demons for you.

Don't rush to call someone, if you neglect the nobleman, I will tell you to go around when you are full! "

The one who led the way was a steward of the Zou family. As soon as he jumped off the speeding car, he rushed to the timid villagers beside the road with a proud face, yelling and shouting.

Cleverly, he quickly let go of the girl and ran into the village, the remaining group of people were like quails, kneeling by the side of the road, not daring to lift their heads.

Zhao Sheng got down from the carriage, saw this scene at a glance, frowned slightly, but it was fleeting.

Looking around, all I can see are low and cramped thatched huts, and the outside of the huts is mostly surrounded by a simple fence with branches. Most of the fences have two or three black-haired chickens scattered around, which look skinny.

The roads in Zhuangzi are muddy and narrow, full of potholes, and the ground is full of excrement and water. Most of the people in Zhuangzi are yellow and thin, with most of their chests exposed, and their lower bodies are wrapped in linen pockets.

"My lord, this place is the Liu Family Village. Recently, all the old and young family of the former village head in this village were murdered by the ghosts, and they died in a terrible way." The steward of the Zou family took advantage of the time to talk to Zhao Sheng and the two of them about the recent murder of the ghosts. Stranger things.

Zhao Sheng looked around without opening his mouth, while Gui Li was more careful and kept asking the steward.

Not long after, four or five Zhuang Han came running from the village, the leader was a yellow-faced old man with gray hair.

When they came to the front, the old man and his gang knelt down at once, shouting in their mouths to welcome the nobleman for neglecting. Forgive the disrespect, and the words are extremely skilled.

When Zhao Sheng spoke, these Zhuang Han got up from the ground, but their waists were bent sharply, as if they were afraid of being taller than the little nobleman.

"Liu Sanba, hurry up and tell the nobleman how your brother and his family died tragically. Don't panic, or you won't be the temporary head of the village."

"Hey, don't worry, Mr. Zou. I will definitely work hard, I will work hard!"

As he spoke, the yellow-faced old man looked at Zhao Sheng and the two with a smile all over his face.

After he was able to make a gesture with his eyes, his waist suddenly dropped by half, and he said with a sad face: "The matter has to start half a month ago..."

After half a cup of tea, the yellow-faced old man stopped talking and looked at Zhao Sheng and Gui Li anxiously, but most of his attention was on Gui Li who was wearing a Taoist robe.

As for Zhao Sheng!An eight-year-old baby, even if he is noble, is not as powerful as another mage.

After hearing this, Gui Li frowned, and said in a relaxed manner: "The haunted ghost should have just been born, no matter how fierce it is, it's nothing more than a grudge ghost. I thought it was an old ghost, but it turned out to be a new ghost Junior brother, this matter is easy."

Zhao Sheng didn't open his mouth all the time, but now he shouted coldly: "Damn you Zhuangtou!"

The yellow-faced old man's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he hurriedly argued in a panic: "My lord, we have been wronged! This has been the rule in our area since ancient times. When a new wife passes through the door, she must let Zhuangtou taste the soup. This is To check whether the mother-in-law has stolen from others, and secondly to collect phoenix.

My eldest brother didn't know that the woman was so violent, she hanged herself on the day she passed the door, and after she died, she turned into a ghost and demanded her life.Pity my old sister-in-law and two elder nephews.They didn't do any evil at all, but they were killed together. "

The more the yellow-faced old man talked, the more he felt aggrieved. In the end, he couldn't help crying, and even the people next to him also shed tears.

"Our Zhuangtou is a man of righteousness. It has been three years since other Zhuangzis received their blood tax, but we only have two years. Even the interest rate is a few percent lower than other Zhuangzis. The owner of the Zhuangzi is righteous!" You boldly Xiao Mo helped me out.

Gui Li suddenly let out a cold snort, and a large area around him immediately knelt down.

"Junior Brother, Fengkui is a kind of precious blood designated by our sect. This thing also contains life and death, and has many mysterious functions." Gui Li explained lightly.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and his tone was very cold: "Get up, take me to see the scene."

Liujiazhuang is small in size, with only a hundred households. There is only one dirt road connecting the inside and outside of the village, and a green brick courtyard at the end of the dirt road is where the incident happened.

There are ten large tile-roofed houses in this yard, five of which face north and south are places for people to live in, two on the left are livestock houses, two on the right are kitchens and utility rooms, and one with a bluestone wall is a granary .

At this time, four thin pine coffins were parked in the open space in the middle of the yard, and the coffins were covered with black-winged blackflies in huge patches.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the other villagers stopped immediately, their expressions full of fear and panic, but the yellow-faced old man ran over first, waving his hands wildly to drive away the flies.

Zhao Sheng looked at the black blood scab all over the ground at the door of the main house, his face thoughtful.

Gui Li strode to the coffin, and with a wave of his sleeves, the coffin lid was thrown to the ground.

"Junior brother, come and see."

Zhao Sheng stepped forward in response, looked down into the coffin, and saw that the skin of the corpse was pale, covered with spots, and the face was full of despair and fear, but there was no scar on the body.

Looking at the other three corpses, they also looked like this.

Seeing this scene, Gui Li couldn't help but nodded secretly, thinking: "The body stinks like this, but the younger brother doesn't change his face. It seems that everyone underestimates him. Three treasures are not as frivolous and arrogant as they appear on the surface."

"Well, this person's soul was indeed swallowed by the ghost. There was no wound on his body, but the blood flowed all over the place. Brother, that ghost is not simple! I'm afraid it has the ability to suck blood through the air."

"Ghosts have all sorts of strange talents. It's just blood-sucking. It's not uncommon. However, this ghost can kill four people in a row right after it was born. Don't let it continue to be fierce, or it will become a big disaster in a hundred years." Gui Lihuan Looking around, his expression was extremely stern.

"Strange, where is the female corpse?" Zhao Sheng muttered to himself, then looked at the yellow-faced old man, and asked, "Where is the hanged female corpse now? Take us to see it."

Guili heard the words, and turned his gaze to this person.

"My lord, the corpse suddenly disappeared from the yard the night before."

The yellow-faced old man knelt down again, his voice was trembling, as if he was very afraid of being blamed by adults.

"Hey, is it a living corpse?"

After hearing this, Gui Li's face was overjoyed, and he immediately turned his hands over, and there was a yellow paper talisman on his fingertips.

He muttered something, and then pointed out a sword, a ball of flame suddenly ignited on the talisman, burning it to fly ashes, and at the same time a circle of faint golden light spread rapidly, covering the entire courtyard.

In the next second, four puffs of gray gas rose from the four coffins, which were really conspicuous under the golden light.

Gui Li looked at Zhi, frowning, "It's strange, there is no corpse of that female corpse here?"

Zhao Sheng said: "Senior brother, it doesn't matter where the female corpse went or was stolen by some expert. The important thing is to get rid of the grieving ghost first, so that it won't harm others again."

"Senior brother, yes, what the younger brother said is reasonable, I am very happy to see Lie Xin, senior brother, I just got a picture."

After finishing speaking, Guili moved his cuff, and a palm-sized black porcelain bottle fell into his hand.

He muttered something, poured his spiritual power into the porcelain bottle, and saw streaks of white light blooming from the mouth of the bottle, and then a three-foot-high blue-black human shadow emerged from the bottle.

The whole body of the figure exuded a faint scent of incense, and bursts of cold breath gushed out of his body, and the temperature in the courtyard suddenly dropped rapidly, like a sudden drop of frost.

The sun is high, and this ghost is not afraid of the sun.

When Zhao Sheng saw it, he immediately realized that this ghost was a spirit ghost who had been sacrificed by the secret method of Tiandaoism.

"The way of heaven is supreme, all ghosts bow their heads! The spirit ghost is looking for you, go!" Gui Li shouted anxiously, and saw the ghost spirit swim around the courtyard, then suddenly turned into a wisp of black smoke and flew out of the courtyard .

"Junior brother, you stay here, don't move!"

After hastily uttering a word, Gui Li suddenly shot out like an arrow.

Zhao Sheng walked out of the courtyard in a few steps, only in time to see Gui Li's back.

Only a few figures flickered, and he disappeared behind the mound a few miles away in a blink of an eye.

There are overgrown grasses on the mound, and a few bumps of earth rise faintly among the grass, which seem to be several tombs.

Zhao Sheng saw that he couldn't catch up, so he stopped.

Suddenly, he turned his head back, stared at the yellow-faced old man with lightning-like eyes, and asked coldly, "Say! How do people die?"

"My lord, I was wronged! He really hanged himself, I really don't know why the body disappeared. I wonder too!" The yellow-faced old man looked aggrieved and wronged.

"It seems that if you don't suffer a little, you are not telling the truth." Zhao Sheng smiled coldly, stepped forward in two steps, and poked his finger hard half an inch below the Tanzhong acupoint on the old man's chest and abdomen.

Hey!
The yellow-faced old man was poked, his old face turned pale, and he let out an inhuman howl, his body curled up into a ball and rolled all over the ground in pain.

In just two breaths, the man sweated and drenched his clothes, his whole body was convulsed violently, and he was on the verge of passing out.

But he still couldn't fall into a coma, but the pain became more and more clear, as if he was tormenting in hell.

After another ten breaths, it is estimated that the heat is almost ready.

Zhao Sheng kicked the old man's Fengshen acupoint and released his dark hands.

"Tell me, how did people die? Where did the corpse go? If you don't tell the truth, my master makes your life worse than death!"

In his opinion, since there have been such absurd things as Chu Yequan in the local area since ancient times, the new wife should not hang herself for such things.

There must be something odd about it.

"My lord, tell me the little girl will tell you the little girl! That little daughter-in-law really hanged herself, but my goddamn Zhuangtou has a habit of abusing people. I really played too much that day. The little girl couldn't bear the torture, so she couldn't think about it for a while and hanged herself." !"

"Where's the corpse?" Zhao Sheng's voice was as cold as ice.

"Corpse? I swear to God, we didn't hide the corpse. It really disappeared overnight. We were also very scared."

At this moment, the manager of the Zou family, who had been keeping silent all this time, suddenly kicked the yellow-faced old man over, and shouted angrily: "Damn you! The reputation of the Zou family's benevolence and righteousness has been ruined by you bastards. The local people are simple and honest. The people are pure and kind, I didn’t expect this kind of evil to happen! Your Liu Family Village is very good. When I go back, I will report to Master Gao, and I will definitely punish you for your crimes!"

After that, Guanshi Zou's expression changed drastically, and he smiled flatteringly at Zhao Sheng: "My lord, calm down, don't get angry because of a bunch of ignorant idiots."

Zhao Sheng didn't pay attention to this person at all, his eyes suddenly turned to the side of the mound, his eyes were unusually deep, as calm as water.

At this time, Gui Li just turned around the mound, and rushed towards this side with a joyful expression, holding a pitch-black porcelain altar in his hand,
"Junior brother, this trip is really worthwhile! This female ghost has excellent qualities, and after the sacrifice, she is a rare high-level spirit ghost." Gui Li said to Zhao Sheng happily as soon as he came back.

"Brother, I'm tired! You can do what you can save."

Seeing that his junior brother was somewhat dispirited, Guili shook his head secretly, "Sure enough, the true nature is revealed. Children's interest comes and goes faster! They don't care about the benefits of a high-class spirit ghost at all."

"Alright! Let's go to the next one now."
