Daoist priest, stop fighting. The avenue is almost gone.

Chapter 569: Midnight Vampire, Altar, Night Discussion, Li Shiran’s Problem, Genius, Barley!

"Brother Yi, ah, I'm sorry, to be honest, our valuables were stolen today."

The group refused to believe it, and after wandering around the huge Yi family mansion, they had to admit one fact - the Yi family was really in decline.

The pile of dead leaves in the courtyard alone was one foot thick, and the existing furniture in the mansion was covered with a thick layer of dust. Every detail revealed a sense of desolation and desolation.

Considering Yi Chen's embarrassment at the thank-you ceremony today, and being blown by the cold wind in the courtyard, this group of young masters who came with such a strong momentum had no choice but to stop.

There was a kind-hearted little black fat man who took out a green jade coin from his shoes and socks before leaving and gave it to Yi Chen.

A group of people came in such a threatening manner, and then left in a mighty manner, just like a mob.

"Hey, it seems that we have really lost our minds. Don't we know how capable Brother Yi is? If he had such ability, given his love of showing off and saving face, how could he have refrained from showing it off before?"

"Brother Guo is right. After all, Brother Yi is our brother who slept with the courtesan in Hua Man Lou together. Seeing his miserable state now that his family has fallen into poverty, I feel a little sorry for him. I will send some servants to give him some money later. We are no longer in the same circle. This is to say goodbye to Brother Yi."

Under the leadership of the little black fat man, more than a dozen young men came one after another and promised that they had no extra money on them and would send someone to deliver some jade money later.

This situation was somewhat unexpected for Yi Chen. His expression was complicated for a moment, and he even felt a little guilty.

Sure enough, although the predecessor was a jerk, there was real affection between them, and it was not entirely calculation.

In the evening, night falls and the lanterns are lit.

Yi Chen's expression became even more complicated.

At this moment, there were more than a hundred white jade coins in front of him. Eight more people who claimed to be sent by a certain young master came to give him jade coins. It was less than half of the number of people who had promised to give him jade coins before. The amount of jade coins they gave was not enough to open a bottle of wine in Hua Man Lou...
"These bastards are loyal, but there aren't many of them!"

Yi Chen sighed in his heart and blew out the oil lamp in the room. It was already late, and he wanted to go to the wealthy family in Yangcheng to do some financial logistics and sponsor a poor young man named Yi Lifang.

....
....
Outside of Yangcheng, inside a dark stone temple, a colorful altar was emitting an eerie light.

Three strange shadows in black robes were sitting cross-legged in front of the altar, silent and solemn.

In the center of the altar, a black skull is being enshrined. A vast and strange black liquid is seeping out from the black skull and dripping. Finally, it follows the complicated rituals on the altar and enters a dark river that connects to the large lake in the city.

The black liquid seeped into the water, some was eaten by fish and shrimp, and some dissipated into the lake and disappeared.

Suddenly, a cold and terrifying voice was heard from above the colorful altar.

"Have you found out the identity of the mysterious master in Yangcheng?"

"The black-haired ghost is a powerful ghost in the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation. It mysteriously disappeared in the process of destroying the Yi family and taking back the black jade Buddha. The black jade Buddha must not be lost. The black-haired ghost died for my worship of the Ghost Cult. There must be an explanation for its death. It cannot die in such an unclear way."

"In reply to the Lord Priest, we are already investigating, and we believe we will have the answer after tonight." The cold and terrifying voice broke the silence in the dark cave. Suddenly, the black-robed people sitting around the altar opened their eyes and hurriedly explained.

It seemed as if the voice spoken was full of respect and awe for the owner of the voice on the altar.

"What you mean is that we still don't know the identity of that mysterious man, what a bunch of trash!" After hearing the three people's answers, the voice lingering above the altar suddenly became colder and fiercer, with a hint of suppressed murderous intent revealed in the words.

"Master Priest, some of the black marks in the city have matured. We have sent blood ghosts to harvest them. Moreover, we have cast the evil eye on the blood ghosts this time. If the mysterious man does not take action, we will let the blood ghosts wreak havoc. If he takes action, he will definitely not escape our lock."

"The blood ghost has the strength of a real person, and is the perfect bait."

The leading black-robed figure waved his hand, and suddenly a water mirror appeared in the air. On the mirror, a cloud of dirty blood was slithering underground like a poisonous snake, and its tail dragged a dark red light that flickered.

"You've passed this test. As long as you make sure there are no disciples from the Tianxing Sect or Yanyue Sect in Yangcheng, and there are no traps set for us in the city, you can proceed as you wish."

"I'll give you five more days to recover all the black seals of living animals in Yangcheng. Also, find that mysterious master and take back the black jade Buddha!"

"Otherwise, you will end up like the vampires, waiting for the High Priest to wipe out your spiritual wisdom, stamp you with the slave mark, and become the sharp knife of the church!"

Soon, the sound from the altar became intermittent and increasingly faint, as if the owner of the sound was cutting off the connection here.
Seeing this, the three black-robed figures couldn't help but tense up slightly, and immediately looked intently at the water mirror in the air.

At this time, the vampires had entered the city and began killing in the dark.

"I'm so hungry. I'm so hungry."

"I'll give you one chance. I'll count to ten. Anyone who doesn't hide well will be eaten by me."

The sky was dim, about to brighten, like a glowing glass bowl inverted on the earth.

The glass bowl glowed faintly, but it was dark inside.

In a large house with red walls and green tiles, a fat black man looked at the murderous bloody figure with fear as he turned his back.
As Blood Shadow counted down, he immediately began to walk towards a hidden vegetable cellar in his home in panic.

He couldn't help but be afraid at this moment, because his father's head was in the hands of the ferocious blood shadow. A fountain of blood gushed out from the headless corpse like a waterfall and all went into the mouth of the ferocious blood shadow.

"Hide! Hide! Hide!"

"Live! I must live! I am sure that the Jingye Division of Daqian will not let go of these ghosts who dare to wreak havoc in the city. I just need to hold on for a little while longer. Just a little while will be enough."

The little black fat man muttered to himself as he stumbled towards the vegetable cellar.

In the corner of his eye, he saw with his own eyes that some of the servants in the house wanted to escape from the house, but when they left, they seemed to encounter some invisible barrier and could not push open the door of the house.

No, it’s not that it can’t be pushed open, it’s that it can’t be touched at all!

At this moment, the servants, maids and old women wanted to turn around, but it was too late.

"Nine!"

"ten!"

"I'm here to catch you!"

The sad blood shadow turned around and transformed into a dwarf monster with an extremely large head and a short body, as big as a small sauerkraut jar. It looked at the scattered servants with murderous eyes.

The fat little black man with his eyes closed in the vegetable cellar heard the desperate cries coming from the ground from time to time, and his whole body trembled even more violently.

Die, die!
As the screams and cries from the ground gradually died down, the little black fat man felt more and more anxious.

He didn't know when the night would end.

Tick, tick.

From time to time, condensed water droplets fell from the top of the vegetable cellar and landed on the stone slabs. The dripping sound was particularly harsh in the darkness.

The little black fat man buried himself in the thick vegetables. With the faint light coming through the air holes in the vegetable cellar, he found that the ferocious bloody shadow did not come in. Only then did his frightened heart calm down a little.

After the fear, there was a flood of worry. He didn't know how his family was doing.

Time passed by bit by bit. He didn't know how long it had been. The little black fat man only knew that the faint light coming through the air vent was getting brighter and brighter. After counting a thousand numbers silently in his mind, he finally crawled out from the pile of vegetables tremblingly.

Tick, tick.

A drop of cool, smelly liquid suddenly fell on the little black fat man's face.

"water?"

“No, why does this water have such a strong smell of blood!” The little black fat man raised his head, only to see a dwarf blood shadow firmly attached to the top of the vegetable cellar, giving him a hideous smile.

In an instant, the corners of the dwarf Blood Shadow's mouth completely split open, expanding to a width of one meter, revealing two rows of sharp triangular teeth, closed like a wedge, exposed in the air and flashing a cold white light.

"I found you. I thought you could hide longer. This is really interesting!"

A terrifying big face suddenly enlarged in the eyes of the little black fat man!

"what!"

Guangzhou, night.

The moon star is thin, and the black dragonfly flies south.

In the darkness, Master Guo let out a scream and suddenly jumped up from his bed, sweat all over his head, as if he had been pulled out of cold water.

There was a surge of heat in my lower body, and it felt warm!
"Damn it, why would I have such a dream! It's so scary!"

Mr. Guo wanted to get up and light a candle to dispel the darkness and ease his inner fear, but looking at the thick and impenetrable darkness in the room tonight, he still fell into hesitation.

He tried calling a few times and waited for a long time but no servant came to respond, as if the entire Guo family mansion had fallen asleep.

"No, I have to get up. If people knew that the person I was about to marry had wet her pants in the middle of the night, I would have no right to live as a human being."

"Those servants are not very good at keeping their mouths shut. If this gets out, I'll have to sit at the table with the kids when I go out for drinks in the future."

When Mr. Guo, who had taken out a green jade coin from his socks for Yi Chen during the day, thought of the predicament he might face, an inexplicable courage surged in his heart. It was this courage that overcame his inner fear!
He struggled to get up, trembling, and fumbled to light a candle, then went out to change his pants, throwing away the wet one.

pat!

As the tinder lit the candle on the table, a dim but warm light suddenly filled the entire room. The light made Mr. Guo's fear subside a lot. He looked at his now wet and cold lower body and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Hey, you really scared yourself. Yangcheng has been peaceful for a long time, how could there be ghosts, especially such vicious ones."

"Now that things have come to this, let's change our pants first!"

"Hey, how come the voodoo doll that my mother gave me on the bed fell off? The rope is broken. Which bastard servant is so careless? It seems that I am too kind to them on weekdays."

After changing his pants, Mr. Guo became a lot bolder. He suddenly saw a doll with a pair of white cloth legs sticking out from under the bed, and a look of anger flashed across his face.

This doll was a relic given to him by his mother before she died. It is said to be able to ward off disasters and misfortunes, and to ward off evil spirits.
In short, it was said to be very strange. His mother spent a lot of money to ask someone from her parents' home to get it for him. In the past ten years or so, he had never seen any use for this doll, so he had been hanging it on the mast at the head of the bed as a souvenir.

Now seeing that the red string that tied the doll was torn apart and the doll was cracked, revealing the gray filling inside, he was immediately furious and decided to call the servant who cleaned the room for him tomorrow and torture him severely.

But the most urgent thing now is to throw away the wet pants and bed sheets.

After tidying up, Mr. Guo opened the door of the room with great stealthiness, like a child stealing a dog.

Just after he left the room, he suddenly found that the sky was showing a scene like in a dream. A feeling of horror suddenly emerged in his heart, making the hairs on his body stand up.

Just at this moment, there was a rustling sound suddenly coming from the corner of the courtyard.

It seemed as if something foreign was pushing towards him from under the ground.

boom!
Just as he was retreating again and again, suddenly the strange object underground emerged from the ground, and it was a ferocious bloody monster.

It has a huge head, limbs as short as a sauerkraut jar, and terrifying teeth like the monster seen in a dream.

"what!"

"Help!"

The monster grinned at him, and the horrifying face kept getting bigger in his pupils. Then his eyes rolled up, and he fell into a sleep like a baby.

Before the world began to become dark, he saw a flash of green light and a strong figure from the corner of his eye.

"Hey, Mr. Guo, my good brother, I won't take your money for nothing. I will give you a life!"

"No, it's the life of your whole family!"

At this moment, in front of Mr. Guo who was lying on the ground, a tall and strong figure was standing between him and the ferocious bloody shadow.

A strange green energy was rising from the body of this majestic figure, dancing like a raging flame, so powerful that it was heart-stirring.

A huge hole was melted above the Guo family residence, and starlight fell from the hole. The barrier in the air was also slowly dissolving.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be an idiot ghost with a brain watt. Forget it, I'll send you on your way."

Yi Chen's big hand clasped the vicious blood ghost's forehead tightly like an iron clamp. He spat out a terrifying extreme energy, accompanied by a stream of information that flashed by, and killed it instantly!

The balance of the deep red dots jumped and increased by another 1,200 points.

After doing all this, Yi Chen slowly stood up, and used his internal energy to lift Master Guo, who was holding wet pants and bed sheets, back to bed and fell asleep again.

"Miss Shishi, since you are already here, please show yourself!"

Facing a corner of the courtyard, Yi Chen's eyes flashed and he spoke suddenly.

As Yi Chen finished speaking, a slender figure slowly emerged.

This woman was wearing a veil and had an extraordinary temperament. Who else could she be but Miss Shishi, whom Yi Chen had specially gone to meet today?
Master Guo was an open-minded person. When Mr. Guo was about to leave, he sent someone to deliver nine green jade coins. There was no other way. Even though he knew that this action would expose his strength and the figure of the woman in white was flying towards him, he still chose to take action.

Yi Chen didn’t know what would happen to the Guo family otherwise, but Mr. Guo’s head would definitely not be saved.

"Master Yi is so well hidden. It seems that Shi Ran was a little too nosy when the black-haired ghost wanted to come and kill you."

"But Mr. Yi, do you want to chat with Shi Ran here?"

The woman in white glanced at Yi Chen's figure with a deep gaze, and a hint of shock flashed in the depths of her eyes.

This person has such a strong body and such miraculous powers!
"Then let's go to my house! My house is big! And it's quiet!"

Yi Chen glanced at the woman in white, his figure flashed, and he quietly broke through the air and left.

Inside the Yi Mansion, a teapot was bubbling on a clay stove. Amidst the mist of tea, two figures were sitting opposite each other.

However, the first sentence spoken by the woman in white almost made Yi Chen lose his composure.

"Mr. Yi, let me introduce myself. My name is Li Shiran, and I am an inner disciple of the Tianxing Sect."

"I wonder what the meaning of the thank-you gift that the young master gave to Shi Ran today, which was a bunch of roasted wheat?"

"What is the young master hinting at Shi Ran?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on the face of the Great Qin State Master suddenly froze.

What's the deep meaning?
Did he want Yichengzi to say that he was blessing her with barley?
