When the people around him saw that Yu Lie didn't move, they thought that Yu Lie was afraid of the ghost soldiers, so someone called out: "Tou Yu, if you follow Du Tou on your own initiative, you don't have to worry about the ghost soldiers sucking your blood."
Some people didn't bother to speak out: "This guy named Yu is really shameless. Du Tou takes care of him like this, and he's just pretending."
Others gloated: "Hey! Maybe you were scared. When the ghost soldiers pounce on you, you will only become more stupid."
Luobotou and Lao Hu also reacted.
The former's face was slightly pale, and he looked at the black air in the air with a frightened expression. The latter took a breath, quickly kicked the carrot head, and whispered: "Hurry, you can go to the Yaofang Hall later.
, begging for Brother Yu to see Mr. Fang..."
Discussions started again.
Du Liang waited for a few seconds and saw that Yu Lie didn't move, just staring at him.
His brows furrowed slightly, and his voice became colder:
"Yu Lie, brother, I have given you a lot of respect today. You hurt your colleagues in the alchemy room for no reason, you must go to the Yamen, don't let brother have to do it!"
Wow! The eyes of everyone present were even more focused on Yu Lie.
But a chuckle suddenly sounded.
Yu Lie stared at Du Liang and said coldly:
"Du, who are you? You are worthy of being called 'brother' in front of Yu!"
His voice was clear and full of sneer, like a ladle of cold water that chilled all the voices in the room.
Everyone stared at Yu Lie in shock, unable to react for a moment.
Even Du Liang himself was holding the sign with a dazed look on his face, thinking he had heard the wrong words.
But immediately, Du Liang realized that he had heard correctly. His face twitched and he stared at Yu Lie with sinister eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.
With a cold snort, Du Liang grabbed the sign and waved his hand to let the ghost soldiers fall and tie up Yu Lie. But at the moment he was about to wave, he frowned again and hesitated.
Du Liang's eyes were filled with surprise, and he said secretly: "I have carefully investigated the background of this Yu Lie, and he just doesn't have much to do with that Mr. Fang. Why did he dare to be so presumptuous today... Could it be that there is someone else behind him?
"
Du Liang was struggling, with thousands of thoughts in his mind, and gritted his teeth:
"Never mind! I'm going by the rules today and I'll take this guy to the Yamen first. If someone comes to pick him up then, just ignore him. Anyway, the trouble will not come to my head."
He glanced at the ecstatic round-faced Taoist boy next to him, and sneered in his heart.
It turns out that since the last time he lost a fortune in a gambling house, Du Liang had been suspicious of Yu Lie's sudden wealth, suspected that Yu Lie had a chance, and was eyeing Yu Lie.
For more than half a month, this person had acted cautiously. First, he personally inquired about Yu Lie's background, and then asked people to spread rumors and test whether Yu Lie had any other backers in the alchemy room.
After waiting for a while, Du Liangcai confirmed that Yu Lie had been a poor Taoist boy before, but he was just poor and rich at the same time. Therefore, he used the excuse that Yu Lie had been absent from work for too long and asked someone to take Yu Lie's position.
In this way, he could not only accept a bribe first to subsidize the gambling money, but also let the round-faced Taoist boy conflict with Yu Lie, while he stayed in secret and watched the situation.
The result today was not as Du Liang had expected. As soon as Yu Lie turned his mouth, he had a conflict with the round-faced Taoist boy, which gave him a good excuse to restrain Yu Lie.
As soon as Yu Lie is beaten into the Yamen, the people can break Yu Lie's bones and suck out his marrow, and squeeze out Yu Lie's way to make a fortune!
After making his decision, Du Liang looked at Yu Lie and smiled ferociously in his heart: "No one is rich without windfall. How dare you bluff me! If no one comes to pick you up in the future, I will squeeze the oil out of your bones for you!"
Woohoo!
The poisonous ghost soldiers circled and immediately followed Du Liang's finger and pounced on the remaining columns.
The cold is rising!
The faces of the Taoist boys who were close to the rest of the row changed, and they hurriedly backed away again. From a distance, Lao Hu also pulled the carrot head and hurriedly backed away.
Yu Lie was still staring at Du Liang, his expression unchanged.
I saw him facing the ghost soldiers rushing towards me and scolding:
"Poison-mouthed Taoist boy, if you commit the following offense, please capture him quickly!"
Its sound was like thunder, exploding in the ears of the Taoist boys around, making people frightened.
But what made the Taoist boys' eyes widen even more was that after the black energy rushed to Yu Lie's head, as soon as they heard the scolding, they immediately turned around and flew away.
Whoosh! The ghost soldier took the form of a human and landed behind the round-faced Taoist boy. The face of the round-faced Taoist boy who was originally ecstatic suddenly froze.
The man's face turned pale, his heels turned up involuntarily, and his body straightened up and became stiff.

The ghost soldiers torture people by sticking to the prisoner's back, almost like a parasitic possessor, making the prisoner unable to move on his own and subject to the orders of the orderer.
The round-faced Taoist boy was suddenly paralyzed. He felt that his body was cold, and there seemed to be a corpse pressing against him behind him. It was bone-chilling. He immediately panicked and shouted:
"Save me, Du Tou, save me!"
A loud scream rang out, waking up the others.
Du Liang and the other Taoist boys looked at Yu Lie in surprise, their eyes dim again.
They clearly saw Yu Lie slowly take out a sign from his sleeve and wave it in front of their eyes.
When everyone saw Yu Lie taking out the brand, their eyes suddenly blurred. Someone with sharp eyes was the first to ask: "This brand is..."
"Middle Taoist!"
"When did this remaining column get promoted to the rank of middle-ranking Taoist boy?!"
"He's only been here for a few months!!?"
There were people constantly staring at Yu Lie with doubts and disbelief.
Some people also questioned: "Is that brand real or fake?" But they immediately attracted a look of contempt.
Carrot Tou, Lao Hu and others also looked confused. They were stunned for a long time before they thought: "Could it be that Mr. Yu has been in seclusion these days to break through and be promoted to the middle position..."
Only then did everyone realize that the reason Yu Lie didn't panic at all when facing Du Liang and the ghost soldiers was because he was also a middle-rank Taoist boy and his status was the same as Du Liang's.
As for the medal in Yu Lie's hand, it was the bronze medal he received after being promoted to the middle rank of Taoist priest.
The middle-rank Taoist boy has many privileges in the town. Bronze medals can be used in all major houses. The role of commanding ghost soldiers is only one of them.
Although Yu Lie took the initiative to beat up the round-faced Taoist boy just now, because he was a middle-level Taoist boy and the opponent was a lower-level Taoist boy, as long as Yu Lie did not kill him, the restriction in the ghost soldier's body would not be triggered.
On the contrary, no matter what the reason is, as long as the lower Taoist provokes the middle Taoist, he is justified and weak. The middle Taoist can call the ghost soldiers to torture the opponent at any time, but he can no longer use lynching. He has to go to the Yamen
Interpretation.
in the field,
Du Liang's expression was filled with surprise and uncertainty. He looked at Yu Lie who was right in front of him, and suddenly felt that Yu Lie's smile was extremely dazzling and sarcastic.
The round-faced Taoist boy next to him turned pale, and screamed even more tremblingly: "No! Go away, go away! Spare your life..."
The sound made Du Liang feel even more harsh.
Du Liang's expression changed, and he suddenly shook the sign, causing the ghost soldiers to silence the round-faced Taoist boy, causing the scene to become much quieter.
Then Du Liang took a deep breath and said kindly to Yu Lie: "Brother Yu, when did you get promoted to a middle-level Taoist boy?"
As soon as he said this, it was as if the cold-eyed confrontation between the two just didn't exist at all.
His face was like a chameleon's, and he smiled, but he didn't look flattering.
Yu Lie looked at the other party's dry smile and said interestingly: "Recently."
"Haha, congratulations." Du Liang laughed dryly a few more times, gritted his teeth, and suddenly raised his hands towards Yu Lieyi and said:
"Since Brother Yu is already a middle-ranking Taoist boy, today's matter is naturally a misunderstanding. Brother Yu will have full authority to handle it."
After saying that, Du Liang looked around with a straight face, turned around decisively, and left quickly.
At this time, Du Liang still didn't know that Yu Lie had understood his plan early on and regarded him as an enemy.
Therefore, when Du Liang saw that today's calculation was wrong and that Yu Lie was already a middle-ranking Taoist boy, he made a fool of himself. He decided to interrupt the plan and evade it quickly.
Lest he be unable to restrain himself later and offend Yu Lie even more, making it completely difficult to turn around and establishing an enemy!
But after turning around, Du Liang bit his gums until they bled:
"Damn it! How long did it take for this Yu Lie to complete the transformation of 'like a wolf and like a tiger'? It was less than half a year! How could he complete the 'copper tendons and iron bones' again and become a middle-level Taoist boy?
Where did the money come from? Why didn't he go on the court to show off his strength by playing against that high profit?"
At the same time, Du Liang suddenly felt a pang of regret in his heart, regretting that he had not taken action earlier and had not rushed to take advantage of Yu Lie before he broke through the retreat. Otherwise, if he had taken action earlier, he might have made a lot of money.
His face was gloomy and he walked away quickly.
But suddenly a voice rang out from behind Du Liang again, causing the other party to stop in his tracks:
"Fellow Taoist, please stay!" was Yu Lie's voice.
Du Liang didn't want to talk to him, so he forced himself to leave. But Yu Lie's next words forced him to stay still.
Laughter rang out: "The positions in the town are for those who are capable. Dutou, I see you as incompetent and want to replace you."
I saw Yu Lie standing behind Du Liang, folding his hands and smiling:
"Since there are so many colleagues present who can serve as witnesses, it is better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Please ask Du Tou to abdicate today and give way to others, and leave the poisonous mouth."
Two sentences in succession rang clearly in the ears of the poisonous Taoist boys.
Everyone's face was stunned, their heads were dazed, and their eyes were blurry. Some people's eyes looked like they were watching a big show, and they were extremely excited.
