Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

What happened?

Officer Feng and his five men, along with Old Man Wang, stared dumbfounded at the scene in the main hall.

They neither saw the disheveled state of Master Zhang Shanhai and his companions lying on the ground, nor did they see Xu Zhen reprimanding them.

To everyone's surprise, Xu Zhen and the others lay on the ground, eyes closed and unconscious.

How did they end up on the ground?

Was he dead or just unconscious?

The constables, including Chief Feng, were shocked and incredulous.

"Master Zhang, what's going on?" Officer Feng couldn't help but ask.

"So it was Officer Feng..." Zhang Shanhai said somewhat awkwardly, "I don't know either. Xu Ye and the others fainted not long after they came in."

"Perhaps...it's heatstroke?"

As he spoke, Zhang Shanhai glanced at the sky outside the main hall, his eyes showing a hint of guilt.

He himself didn't quite believe those words.

Officer Feng and the others were stunned.

Did you get heatstroke?

They glanced at the gloomy sky outside the hall, then at Xu Zhen and the others who were unconscious on the ground. Their eyes were strange, revealing disbelief.

It even felt eerie; standing in the main hall of the Zhang family, one could only feel a chill rising from the soles of one's feet.

After glancing at Xu Zhen and the others who were collapsed on the ground, Officer Feng felt a chill run down his spine and decided to take Xu Zhen and the others away from the Zhang family mansion that had sent shivers down his spine.

He immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said, "In that case, Lord Zhang, I will take these people back to the county office and interrogate them in detail."

The words were spoken.

The constables, including Sun Jin, nodded in unison and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They just wanted to leave this eerie Zhang family mansion as soon as possible.

Zhang Shanhai quickly replied politely, "Officer Feng, please go ahead."

Officer Feng nodded, then called over Sun Jin and the other constables, and together they carried the unconscious Xu Zhen and the others towards the outside of the Zhang family residence.

Soon, their figures disappeared from the main hall of the Zhang family.

"Xuan'er, tell your father the truth, how did Xu Zhen and the others faint?" The old father, Zhang Shanhai, couldn't help but ask.

The mother, Xu, her younger brother, Zhang Xing, and Xiao Tao, who were standing nearby, also turned their heads to look at them with surprise and doubt.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen smiled slightly and calmly said, "Father, how could I possibly know? They must have just fainted from heatstroke."

Hearing him say this, Zhang Shanhai and the others were taken aback, their hearts filled with doubt.

For a moment, they felt that their eldest son and elder brother, who had gone mad, were shrouded in mystery.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Outside the Zhang family residence.

Officer Feng led Xu Zhen and the others to a secluded alley and then tried to wake them up.

In a daze, Xu Zhen and the others gradually came to their senses and noticed their surroundings. Their expressions immediately changed.

"Where is this?"

"Officer Feng?"

"What are you doing here?"

Xu Zhen and the others asked in surprise and doubt.

Officer Feng looked grave and immediately began to explain the details to Xu Zhen and the others.

Finally, he asked the question that had been bothering him: "How did you all faint in the Zhang family mansion?"

The words were spoken.

Xu Zhen, Zhao Liuzi, and the others were completely dumbfounded, and at the same time felt a chill.

In the Zhang family mansion, they actually fell into a coma without realizing it.

That's so weird!

Xu Zhen thought for a moment, then said nervously, "Back then, Zhao Liuzi... went to arrest that eldest son of the Zhang family, and then we don't remember anything..."

The eldest son of the Zhang family?

Officer Feng and the others exchanged glances, and couldn't help but recall the handsome young man they had seen in the Zhang family mansion.

Did he do something?

Officer Feng and his men speculated.

At this time.

Zhao Liuzi's face was filled with horror. "Brother Xu, this is too eerie, especially this eldest son of the Zhang family!"

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and exclaimed in horror, "Brother Xu, aren't all the people in Guobei County saying that this eldest son of the Zhang family has gone mad? Some even say he's possessed by an evil spirit!"

"Brother Xu, do you think... it's possible that we were bewitched by the ghost on him, and that the ghost used some kind of magic on us?"

These words were spoken.

Whether it was Officer Feng and his group or Xu Zhen and his group, they all gasped in surprise, instantly feeling that the Zhang family mansion had become eerie.

They had naturally heard what Zhao Liuzi had said.

They hadn't paid much attention before, thinking it was just hearsay, but now, after what happened at the Zhang family mansion, they couldn't help but think about it more.

Could it be that the eldest son of the Zhang family is truly possessed by an evil spirit?

The reason they were unconscious was because of the demon inside him?

As they thought about it, a chill ran down their spines, and they felt a dread creeping up their spines.

Suddenly, Zhao Liuzi remembered something, and a glint of light flashed in his fearful eyes.

He said excitedly, "Brother Xu, Officer Feng, I heard there's a very powerful Taoist priest in Qingping County next door. I heard he has some Taoist skills. Let him exorcise the evil spirits from the Zhang family's eldest son. Who knows, he might be able to see something!"

话落

Officer Feng, Xu Zhen, and the others' eyes lit up.

Zhao Liuzi's idea is great!

That Zhang family mansion, the eldest son of the Zhang family is really a bit strange. It would be a good idea to call a Taoist priest to take a look!

Xu Zhen said with satisfaction, "Zhao Liuzi, I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure you bring that Taoist priest here!"

Zhao Liuzi nodded quickly.

Xu Zhen, Constable Feng, and the others relaxed, and some even secretly looked forward to it.

In a few days, when the Taoist priest Zhao Liuzi mentioned is invited, we will know what the situation is about this eldest son of the Zhang family!

If you are really possessed by evil spirits, you can exorcise and dispel them!

Once the evil spirit is driven away and it's no longer in the way, the Zhang family will be at their mercy!

Thinking of this, Xu Zhen and the others smiled expectantly, eagerly awaiting the appearance of the Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirits from the Zhang family's eldest son.

Officer Feng nodded to Xu Zhen.

"Brother Xu, now that this matter is settled, I should return to the yamen to report to the county magistrate."

Then, he led Sun Jin and the other constables and walked quickly toward the yamen.

Watching Constable Feng walk away, Xu Zhen's eyes flashed coldly. "Hmph, the Zhang family!"

Once the Taoist priest arrives and expels the evil spirits from the eldest son of the Zhang family, he will definitely give the Zhang family a good beating, especially the eldest son.

……

soon.

The backyard of the county government office.

Upon hearing Officer Feng's account, Wang Shenzhi, the county magistrate, showed surprise and curiosity in his eyes.

"Is there really a ghost haunting the eldest son of the Zhang family?"

After pondering for a moment, he also wanted to see how the Taoist priest's exorcism would go in a few days.

……

The sky was overcast, and a storm was brewing.

Zhang Family Residence.

Inside the east wing.

Su Chen ignored what was happening outside and focused all his attention on the Five Animal Frolics.

After two days of practice, I'm almost at the perfect level of the Five Animal Frolics!
