on the way home.

Zhang Ji was thinking about how to use this Chinese New Year time to earn some extra money for himself.

Over the years, Li Xiuqin's pension, plus her salary at the medical clinic, has only saved 80,000.

However, housing prices in Xiazhou Island have reached an average price of 150,000 square meters.

The more luxurious properties start from 300,000 yuan per square meter.

The area where Li Xiuqin currently lives is located outside the island and has to be crossed by a bridge.

In a relatively remote area, if you move to the island, you will be relatively close to Chengmingtang.

The most important thing is that there are relatively many spiritual guards deployed on Xiacheng Island, as well as external spiritual guards.

He knew very well that the more remote the place, the greater the probability of evil spirits appearing.

When Zhang Ji returned home, Li Xiuqin had already cooked white rice. On the table were a pot of smoked duck meat, a plate of sweet potato leaves, and a pot of freshly blanched blood clams.

That is to say, this kind of food can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. On weekdays, Li Xiuqin would not bear to eat like this.

"Where have you been this afternoon?" Li Xiuqin saw a wooden sword in his hand and said with a smile, "How old are you, and you still buy children's toys?"

"This is the Bagua Mirror that I went to Xianyue Mountain and the Zhenwu Taoist Temple to find. I put it at home to ward off evil spirits." Zhang Ji quickly placed the Bagua Mirror in the middle of the top of the hall door.

"You, why don't you just do this kind of thing for me?" Li Xiuqin gave him a full bowl of rice.

"Hey, I have hands and feet. Xianyue Mountain is so far away and it's inconvenient for you to climb the mountain." Zhang Ji hung up the Bagua mirror, put the mahogany sword aside, and said with satisfaction: "Eat!"

After giving Hong Yi acupuncture in the afternoon, he consumed a lot of money, so he poured himself two grams of ninth-grade crystal powder, mixed it with white rice, and ate meat and rice.

"I don't know if it's dangerous for Ajun to perform his mission? Has he eaten now?" Li Xiuqin muttered.

"Don't worry, he can be in any danger. As a logistics soldier, he is the one who is most hungry. He is probably just cooking for the soldiers on duty, delivering equipment and so on." Zhang Ji said without caring.

"That's true." Li Xiuqin was fooled by Zhang Ji after just a few words.

"You are not young now. I will look for a good girl here for you in the past few days."

Zhang Ji's eyelids twitched wildly. His grandmother was really worried about the important events in her life: "Grandma, if you want me to date a good girl, do you have to let me buy a house first and then talk about it?"

"Now that I have become more capable, Mr. Lin will give me a salary increase, and soon we will be able to move to a new house."

"You can throw it away. House prices are so expensive now. With your small salary and my pension, you won't be able to afford it in a hundred years." Li Xiuqin scolded with a smile.

"It's hard to say. Mr. Lin is so rich. I am his apprentice, how can I be worse?" Zhang Ji decided to go to some wealthy communities tomorrow to wander around.

It's best to be someone who is possessed by evil spirits. If you want to be able to cure yourself, why don't you worry about having no money?

"Mr. Lin has accumulated experience over decades. As a man, you have to take it one step at a time, and don't aim too high." Li Xiuqin didn't want to put too much pressure on him.

"I know, I'm going to wash the dishes today, so you should take a rest early."

Just after eating, Zhang Ji felt that his strength and mental power had been restored. He gave Hong Yi a needle and found that he could now condense twelve tiny dust particles.

He knew that the more particles that could be condensed, the stronger the power of thought.

That night.

Zhang Ji closed his eyes and came to the black hall again.

"Hey, you're here?" Pony greeted: "What should I call you?"

"Call me Xiao Zhou. Is the mission completed?" Zhang Jixiao asked.

"It's done." Obviously, this task is not a big deal for Xiao Ma.

"You said before that there are new people. Could it be that besides us, there are other prison guards?" Zhang Ji saw that Jiufeng Nanyi's condition seemed to be much better than yesterday.

"That person is extremely cold and silent. Every time he comes and goes in a hurry, I feel like he is a cruel person." Xiao Ma said intentionally or unintentionally.

"..." Zhang Ji felt that although they were both prison guards, they were probably in a competitive relationship.

He drew out his own soul jade and drew out ten ninth-grade spiritual bodies one after another, and they were swallowed up by Jiufeng Nanyi.

Seeing that he couldn't complete the task within one day, Xiao Ma gave up his doubts.

Indeed, if you have some foundation, you can complete the task within one day.

"There are still five more to go." Jiufeng Nanyi responded.

"What's going on? Didn't he just get ten spirit bodies?" Xiao Ma was a little curious and felt that Jiufeng Nanyi was partial, so he just wanted to reason.

"What he caught was a Yang spirit, or at least a Yang evil spirit that sucked a life out of him."

"It usually attaches to a living person, but it will consume more when it is imprisoned. The same goes for replenishing me."

"What you caught are Yin evil spirits corroding each other and killing each other in the burial ground. They are slightly different from Yang evil spirits." Jiufeng Nanyi explained.

"But I didn't see any Yang spirits with my spiritual eyes. Many Yin spirits are afraid to stay away from the crowd." Xiao Ma frowned and said.

"The formation of Yang spirits is when someone casts large-scale spells, combines the nature of heaven and earth, and the desires of people, and breeds countless kinds of evil spirits. When they are strong enough, they can even complete short-term body snatching, so they are more powerful than ordinary Yin evil spirits.

." Jiufeng Nanyi replied.

Zhang Ji was shocked, which meant that someone had laid a curse array in Xiazhou.

Thinking of those people in the city who suddenly went crazy and attacked their own people, they were cursed by the other party, which was probably the same as I guessed.

This curse must have lasted for several years.

"How is it possible? Jingzhou is guarded by King Wenxing Zhixing. It is impossible for someone to place a curse in the city without knowing it!" Xiao Ma remembered that Zhang Ji said that he was from Jingzhou.

"This is a positive curse that is inevitable and irresistible."

"As long as the human heart has strong emotions and desires, and there are causes and effects, it will be difficult to resist." Jiufeng Nanyi responded.

Zhang Ji immediately understood what was going on with the evil spirits he had encountered in the past few days. At least half of the people in Xiazhou were now possessed by evil spirits.

The Eye of the Spirit is a soul jade integrated into the body. The power it unlocks can be controlled by a prison guard, not just him.

"Xiao Zhou, you're not from Jingzhou, are you?" Xiao Ma said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ji's heart skipped a beat.

"That ruthless man is also from Jingzhou. It is impossible for you to be in the same place. He is dealing with Yin spirits, while you are both Yang spirits."

"As Jiufeng Nanyi said, if someone casts a large-scale Yang curse, they may only be in a border guard area." After saying this, Xiao Ma stared at him.

"Isn't Zhezhou a borderland?" Zhang Ji asked rhetorically.

"Although Zhezhou, Xiazhou, and Guangdong are border garrison areas, they are all along the coast. There are relatively few monster invasions. Nowadays, only Longzhou in the northeast is experiencing serious war."

"Sword Immortal Pei Qianli, Wuxianguan Rentudu all went to suppress the battle in person, you should be from Longzhou, right?" Xiao Ma started to make some blind analysis.

"If you say yes, then I will be the one. Does it matter?" Seeing that the other party relied on guesswork, Zhang Ji stopped defending.

However, it can also be seen that Xiao Ma likes to dig into details, and he should be more careful with his words in the future.

Judging from what Jiufeng Nanyi said, Xiazhou is likely to be attacked by evil spirits, judging from the recent attacks on the wakers and the successive turmoils in the city.

When Zhang Ji opened his eyes, he felt strong and full of energy.

The morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year is another beautiful day.

Li Xiuqin made the dumplings herself, and Zhang Ji started to help after washing up.

"Normally, we here don't eat dumplings on New Year's Day, right?" Zhang Jixiao asked.

"My hometown is in the north. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, coins are put into the dumplings. Who can eat them? It means that they will have good fortune in the new year." Li Xiuqin made the dumplings very neatly and her waist was straightened up a lot.

.

The effect of Ninth Grade Crystal Powder is immediate.

Zhang Ji knew that this kind of thing would be indispensable in the future as he continued to practice.

He was going to go out to get some money after dinner.

At the same time, I felt that it was necessary to meet Nan Yu, so I sent a text message to Zhou Jun.

"I just said, our family seems to be the only one who eats dumplings during the Chinese New Year." Zhang Ji is also very nimble with his hands and feet, and he has been able to handle things at home since he was a child.

After a while, the dumplings came out of the pan.

Zhang Ji got the coin in his first bite and spit it out.

Li Xiuqin smiled happily and said, "It seems that you will have good fortune in the new year."

"That's right, we will let you live on the island soon. This place is somewhat remote, and there are usually no people in the neighborhood that you can talk to." Zhang Ji was in a very good mood.

"Where are you going today? I don't care about you. You are going to visit some old friends' houses." Li Xiuqin knew that it was the Chinese New Year and some of their daughters had come back.

I am going to look for a wife for Zhang Ji.

At the same time, I also want to buy a gold bracelet as some compensation for Yang Li.

"Then I'll go out and walk around. Tomorrow we'll go to Mr. Lin's house to pay New Year's greetings and see if there's anything good." Zhang Ji was grateful in his heart. That book on acupuncture is valuable.

It can be seen that even people like Hong Yi cherish it so much.

"Okay, okay." Seeing Zhang Ji thinking about this, Li Xiuqin nodded repeatedly: "Go ahead."

He walked out of his house and found a black jeep not far from his door.
