One pound of meat equals one attribute point.

Chapter 13 Boulder
Leaving the villa, walking around a long courtyard wall, lowering my head and passing through the stone archway, I came to the kitchen, and I heard the sound of "Hey Yo Hey Yo" coming from the yard.

Stop and take a closer look.

But I saw more than a dozen security guards surrounding the well, carrying wooden ladders in their hands.

One end of the ladder lies flat on the ground, while the other end rests on the edge of the well.

There was a huge stone lying on the ladder, as big as a millstone. More than ten people worked together to prop up the ladder, trying to make the stone roll down into the well and block the well mouth.

Su Gui was also here, waving his arms and shouting loudly, asking the guards to join in the effort.

With the efforts of the security guards, the ladder was slowly lifted up.

The section that was originally placed on the ground was slowly pulled out of the ground, suspended in the air, and continued to rise.

The stone began to roll, but before it landed in the well, the ladder was unable to bear the weight and began to creak.

Click!

Two wooden sticks broke in the middle.

The stone lost its support and fell down, hitting the feet of a nearby security guard.

It happened so suddenly that the guards had no time to react.

Others screamed. The consequences of thousands of pounds of stone falling straight down were imaginable. I'm afraid I can't save my leg. I don't know what to do for the rest of my life.

But the sound of bones and flesh being smashed into pulp did not sound.

In the courtyard.

A black shadow flashed by, and Su Heng appeared in the crowd.

He stretched out one arm forward in a very casual posture, with almost no sign of deliberate force, but the boulder weighing thousands of pounds was suspended steadily in the air, with the other end resting on the edge of the well.

"Son!"

The unfortunate guard was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. Only then did he react and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, Second Young Master. Thank you for saving my life."

"All of you, get out of the way." Su Heng said.

The other guards hurriedly moved out of the way. Su Gui nervously reminded them in a low voice, "Be careful."

Su Heng nodded.

The ape stretched out its arms, and its two big hands hugged both sides of the stone.

He spread his legs, lowered his center of gravity slightly, and tensed the muscles in his arms with every breath he took.

With a low sigh, he lifted the stone steadily, moved it to a new position, and placed it on the well, just enough to block the well mouth tightly.

The guards and servants around him opened their eyes wide, too shocked to speak.

They knew that their young master was practicing martial arts.

But I didn't expect it to be so powerful. The huge rock that ten people could barely lift with the help of tools must have weighed several thousand pounds.

But Su Heng lifted it by himself without feeling any effort at all.

This kind of strength has surpassed the limits of human beings. Even a body of steel and a diamond that can subdue demons is no more than this.

"Because of what happened to the Xu family, you plan to block the well." Su Heng clapped his hands and looked at his old father.

Su Gui nodded.

"That's what we should do." Su Heng was surprised again, "But what about the water for daily life in the future? There are many people in the mansion, and water consumption is a big problem."

"We plan to get water from the Jiuqu River outside the city."

One of the guards rushed to answer, "Take a carriage, it only takes about half an hour to go back and forth. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is safer."

"That's fine, but I'm sorry to trouble you."

Su Heng nodded slightly, "Now that the world is getting chaotic, the person in charge of this matter can go to the account office to get an extra allowance."

"Mr. Su is a righteous man." The guard heard this and showed excitement on his face. "However, this is not a long-term solution." Su Heng looked up at Su Gui, "Do you have any other plans?"

"To be honest with you, I just had a discussion with the heads of several other families and some officials in the county government." Su Gui gathered his sleeves with a serious expression on his face.

"Have you come up with any solution?" Su Heng asked curiously.

"We plan to invite someone to exorcise the demon." Su Gui said seriously with a stern face.

"..."

Su Heng said speechlessly, "Although our family has a lot of money, there is no need to waste it like this.

What’s more, didn’t you just spend a lot of money to invite a monk from Dinglin Temple to perform a ritual in the yard half a month ago?
But the water ghost still harmed people, it was useless."

"At least it didn't happen in our family, right?" Su Gui felt that his authority as the head of the family was gradually declining, and he couldn't help but argue in a low voice.

"Moreover, this time is different from the past." Su Gui explained, "These two masters came from Qingmao Mountain.

Do you understand Qingmao Mountain?

An ancient tradition that existed before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

These two masters are not only long-established masters in the martial arts world, but they also have a record of conquering demons.

He has helped the government deal with many difficult and strange cases and is very famous in Jiangzhou."

"With government endorsement?" Su Heng looked surprised.

"Yes." Su Gui nodded. "The county government will act as a matchmaker, and several of our big families will pay for it."

"That's indeed somewhat believable." Su Heng sighed, "I hope they can solve this problem as soon as possible."

Su Heng has consulted a lot of information.

These records may be true or false, but one thing can be confirmed.

This is not the first time that demons and monsters have appeared on the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since it has happened in the past, it is normal to have ways to deal with them and even form a unique tradition.

This Qingmao Mountain is most likely the ancient sect in the world that can fight against demons.

"I don't know what methods these Taoists have." When Su Heng thought of this, he felt a little curious.

Qingmao Mountain is not far from Changqing County.

It’s a journey of about seven or eight hundred miles. Even if there is any accident on the way, ten days is enough to get there.

He continued chatting with Su Gui for a few more sentences, ate something, and then returned to his own courtyard.

It was already dark by this time.

Su Shang did not continue to recite the text. He washed up and went to rest and sleep.

A figure stood in the courtyard, waiting silently. It was Su Heng's driver Li Si.

"Have you finished the task I asked you to do?" Su Heng lowered his voice to avoid waking up his sleeping brother.

"There's a result, sir," said Li Si.

During this period, one of the important factors that enabled Su Heng to quickly accumulate attribute points was Tai Sui meat.

only,
After several purchases, the old farmer who sold Tai Sui meat on the black market mysteriously disappeared.

Su Heng sent Li Si to investigate and now he reports the results to himself.

"We searched around and found the village where the old farmer lived in a valley in Heikui Mountain. The place was very remote and isolated from the outside world, but the people there were simple and honest. We asked the local villagers and found the courtyard where the old farmer lived.

Sadly, he was no longer around by then.

Maybe he saved enough money and moved away from the village with his family."

"Although we lost this clue, we did not give up and continued to search for the whereabouts of Tai Sui meat in the village." When he said this, Li Si's face looked a little strange.
