Chapter 6 Ghost-faced Yama, the boy with the ancient sword

On the lounge chair in the main room, Wang Erpi, who had lunch, took a cold shower and washed away the blood on his body, was taking a nap.

This house originally belonged to a wealthy family in Hongdong County. However, the family was backward and was taken over by Wang Erlei.

Wang Erlei grew up in a poor family and was known far and wide as a scoundrel who ate, drank, whored and gambled, and was a master of the five vices.

Now that he is older, he has become the leader of gangsters and has a group of rogues under his command.

Kill and watch, and do all kinds of evil.

But in today's world, scoundrels and scoundrels like him have a better chance of survival - the livelihood of honest people is getting more and more difficult, but the lives of scoundrels and scoundrels are getting more and more prosperous.

No, he, a gangster and a scoundrel, could live in such a nice house.

All I can say is that God is blind.

Neighbors nearby passed by Wang Erlei's house, and who didn't secretly salivate?But I dare not speak out in anger.

……

While half asleep and half awake, Wang Erlei suddenly woke up.

I took a quick glance around and found nothing out of the ordinary.

After realizing that it was a false alarm, Wang Erpi grabbed the kettle on the side and poured a few sips into his mouth, then stood up.

Somehow, he felt inexplicably flustered.

He planned to visit Baolong Bank.

Wang Erlei is a scoundrel, and the biggest reason why he is where he is today is because of his relationship with Baolong Bank.

This Baolong Bank is a famous bank all over the world. It is as rich as the country and has a profound background.

Wang Erlei was just a thug for Baolong Bank in Hongdong County, a small county town, and he was like a chicken and a dog, let alone the terrifying strength of Baolong Bank.

If not, Wang Erli wouldn't have the guts to provoke the Shen family.

For a family like the Shen family, even if something happened and they fell into trouble, it would not be something that people like him would be able to do under normal circumstances.

Wang Erlei felt inexplicably uneasy, and subconsciously wanted to find a safe place to strengthen his courage.

And for him, where else is safer than Baolong Bank?Wang Erlei didn't believe that there could be any accidents at Baolong Bank.

Thinking like this, Wang Erlei stood up, but as soon as he stepped out of the door, he stopped dead.

At some point, a black-haired figure in black clothes appeared in the yard, wearing the mask of King Yama.

Who is Shen Guanye if not in disguise?

"Ghost-faced Yama!"

Wang Erlei was so frightened that he almost peed: Why did this murderous figure focus on him?
But after all, he was born in a street fight, and his reaction speed is beyond the comparison of ordinary people.

After hearing his scream, he immediately came to his senses, picked up the stool by the door and threw it at Shen Guanye's head.

Then he rushed into the house without looking at whether he was hit or not.

While running wildly, Wang Erlei's heart was beating fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

He didn't expect that this deadly killer would find him.

This "Ghost-faced Yama" is a heroic figure who only appeared in the past two months. He likes to eliminate violence and bring peace to the people. In just two months, he has committed several serious crimes.

Those who were killed were those who bullied men and dominated women, and were unkind for the sake of wealth.

Because he wears mysterious clothes and a mask of Yama, and every time he kills someone, he leaves a blood letter at the scene saying "The murderer is Yama," so he is called "Kama with the Ghost Face".

This murderer had only appeared for two months, but he was already feared by the upper echelons of Hongdong County. The police station had long issued a wanted order and a high reward, but they had never been able to arrest him.

The ghost-faced Yama is a worry for the officials and wealthy businessmen of Hongdong County (especially those whose reputations are not so good).

But among ordinary people, the popularity of Ghost-faced Yama is very high. The common people don't like the official title given to him, and secretly like to call him "Yam Luo Hero".

Wang Erlei is a thug who does a lot of dirty things on weekdays. He has ghosts in his heart, so he is naturally very scared when he sees the ghost-faced Yama.

He walked through the house as quickly as possible, a sudden surge of hope rising in his heart.

It was clear day now, and as long as he could run to the street and howl a few times, there was still hope of survival.

The back door was knocked open. Wang Erbing used all his strength and was about to shout for help when his throat suddenly seemed to be strangled.

Like a bald rooster with its neck wiped, its cry suddenly disappeared in the throat.

In the yard, under the magnolia tree, the ghost-faced Xuanyi's figure remained the same as before.

Wang Erlei was so frightened that he passed through the back door, so why did he end up in the front yard?

After escaping for his life, he returned to the starting point.No, he is closer to the ghost-faced Yama now than he was just now!

Wang Erlei turned around and wanted to run away. Although it was very likely that he would go back to the back door after passing through the front door, it was better than being so close now.

"Imperial Order·Standing the Body."

Wang Erlei only listened to the ghost-faced Yama's words, and then he was frozen.

"The art of body-holding! You are a Taoist priest!"

Wang Erlei was horrified and lost his voice.

Shen Guanye turned a deaf ear and walked forward slowly.

Just at this moment, the people in the side room suddenly exploded, and among the broken wood flying, a dark red figure flew towards Shen Guanye faster than the broken wood.

The cold sword light encircled the red sword energy and slashed straight towards Shen Guanye.

It was actually the Mo Dao warrior whom Shen Guanye had seen in the morning!

However, in the face of such a change, Shen Guanye seemed to have expected it and did not panic at all.

Suddenly, a pattern like an ancient sword tattoo appeared on his right wrist, and the next second, a white jade-like light bloomed from Shen Guanye's wrist.

The childish voice sounded.

"The Master said: To learn and to learn from time to time, isn't it also said?"

The light dissipated, and next to Shen Guanye was a boy carved in pink and jade, wearing a white Confucian robe and holding an eight-sided Han sword, standing in the air.

Just listen to him reciting the Analects of Confucius while sending out his sword.

Haoran's righteousness exploded, and there was a loud "dang" sound. It seemed like an egg hitting a stone, but it was not the egg that was knocked away instantly, but the stone!

I saw Soldier Modao being blown away, smashing through the wall and falling into the side room. His chest collapsed and he was unable to fight anymore.

A sword!
Just one sword blow seriously injured the Modao warrior.

What's even more strange is that despite such a loud noise, the neighbors still didn't make any movement, as if they didn't hear it at all.

On Wang Erlei's face, the smile of successful conspiracy suddenly stopped.

Shen Guanye looked at the Gujian boy. The Gujian boy understood and shook his head slightly like a little adult.

He then knew that there was no second Mo Dao warrior hiding in this house.

Shen Guanye was not surprised that Wang Erlei's family would have Mo Dao warriors.

Because in this world, heroic spirits can be rented.

That’s right, leasing.

There is a famous saying on earth, "When the profit reaches 10%, they will be ready to take action; when the profit reaches 50%, they will take desperate risks; when the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample all laws in the world; when the profit reaches 300%, they will dare to trample all laws in the world; When it reaches [-]%, they even dare to sell the rope to hang themselves.”

The same applies to this world.

After the heroic spirits are recruited, they will be of no use as long as there is no war.

There are countless wealthy officials who are not qualified to recruit heroic spirits, but still need the powerful force of heroic spirits.

If possible, they are willing to spend a lot of money to hire heroic spirits, just to slightly improve their inner sense of security.

What a vast and lucrative market this is?

Therefore, the Lords of Apocalypse and the smart people around them will think:
Since there is such a vast market, and during non-war times, a large number of heroic spirits are indeed of no use and can only eat dust in warehouses.

So is it possible to rent out these heroic spirits that are temporarily unused?
It is logical that soon after the emergence of heroic spirits and heroic spirit lairs, the rental business of heroic spirits appeared in the world, earning a lot of money for the Apocalypse Lords of all sizes.

This is a profitable business, a true cornucopia.

For example, the price of renting a Mo Dao soldier is about 30 silver dollars a month, which is equivalent to the monthly salary of three adult workers. It doesn't look very exaggerated, does it?

But you must know that it only costs 100 silver dollars for Lord Apocalypse to recruit a Mo Dao warrior from the military building. The principal will be almost returned in three months, and every additional month will be pure profit.

Therefore, there are quite a few people who hire heroic spirits as bodyguards.

The Shen family had hired two Mo Dao warriors before, plus the two Mo Dao warriors recruited by Father Shen himself, for a total of four Mo Dao warriors.

This was on the surface, but secretly Father Shen also hired two chickadees, one for personal protection and the other to guard the house.

The Titmouse is a Tier 2 unit of the Mountain and Sea Department, and the hiring price is 80 silver dollars per month.

This accounts for one-third of the Shen family's monthly expenses.

Wang Erlei had several lives on his hands, and he had done more ordinary evil deeds. How could he not worry about encountering ghosts in the middle of the night?
In addition, now that he has money in his hands, it is almost certain that he will rent heroic spirits to protect himself - he can't afford to rent them because they are expensive, so why can't he afford to rent one or two level 1 heroic spirits?
