"Master Lei, are you going for a walk again today?" A man with a stern face, holding a tiger-like exotic beast in his hand, greeted the old man next door who had just gone out.
"Yes, we are getting old. If we don't move our body every day, we always feel tired." He Zhao responded to the enthusiastic neighbor with a smile. He spent a five-element stone to hire the child half a month ago. I can only say that the money was not wasted.
That day, after dinner, he followed the boy to the small courtyard the other party mentioned. After learning about it in detail, he happily took out fifteen pieces of evil jade and rented it for three months, using it as a temporary home.
Then, he adopted the pseudonym Lei Er. Among the hundreds of surnames, [Lei He Ni Tang], the second one after Lei - He. It is estimated that no one in this world can understand the deep meaning of the name.
Immediately afterwards, I discovered that my neighbor, a good-tempered Disciplinary Team member, was actually the guard responsible for maintaining order and collecting money at the gate of the city that day.
The young man's name is Wang Xing. He looks cold and inhumane. In fact, something went wrong during his cultivation, which prevented his face from making expressions corresponding to various emotions. He can only wear a serious face every day, and look lifeless.
Look like no one is allowed in.
However, it was a blessing in disguise. When the people from the disciplinary team saw his calm and intimidating face, they immediately called him in. When others saw him during patrol, most of them wanted to walk around, let alone commit crimes.
His strength is also very good. As a team member who maintains peace in the first city in the north, his treatment goes without saying. Now he is a little expert in building the second line. He is somewhat famous in Longshoufang, but not very famous.
Don't think that in the world of refining evil spirits, you are not as good as a dog in building pulses, and you can take elixirs all over the place. Generally speaking, the status of refining evil spirits in some small cities is not low.
Not to mention building pulses, which requires soaking in evil ponds. Every year, there are more than 100 cities and towns, and at most 300 people can come out. If some people choose to build five veins, the number of people will be cut in half.
In addition to battles, adventures, lifespan and other reasons, the Pulse Building Realm cannot be said to be rare, and the chance of encountering it outside the city is very low. Those evil spirits who only have 10% or 20% of promotion to take the elixir, take the risk and choose to force it, and thus fail.
, simply countless.
Most people choose to practice again, but the chance of success plummets by half. Basically, after failing twice, there is no hope of conquering the alchemy realm for the rest of their lives, even the most unattractive virtual elixir.
Therefore, it is good to build the second channel.
After half a month of getting along, he, "Lei Er", got along quite well with Xiao Wang.
The two of them would sometimes drink at night. Wang Xing, who had no idea that he had been deceived, raised many questions, but He solved them one by one. Especially regarding cultivation, he always got to the point.
As a result, the two became friends forever. Although they did not talk about everything, I believe that after a period of time, the other party would reveal the color of the underwear.
There is no way, the young man has never been out of the city, and he has a serious face. Let alone strangers who dare not come up to make friends, even colleagues who know everything about him are not willing.
After all, who likes to face a stern face every day.
The plan He Zhao made half a month ago was to wander around Longshoufang every morning, first to explore the various areas and roads in Fangshi. When exploring the map, he would use all his strength to sense the evil spirits around him.
The ultimate "Nine-Destruction Golden Body" is extremely sensitive to evil spirits. The evil spirits on evil beasts are different from those of evil refiners. It is a kind of riot with outstanding characteristics.
In half a month, except for the boss's mansion and the center of the mine, I could basically feel everything clearly. Even if I walked with my eyes closed, I could still find the way home.
The only pity is that after almost scraping the market, I didn't notice anything wrong.
"well."
With a helpless sigh, he took out the map he drew from his arms.
There are some places on it with big red crosses painted on them.
The marked locations are all places where children disappeared.
More than a dozen red crosses crisscross the street, creating a connection with a certain street.
"Rabbits don't eat grass near their nests, let alone cunning and cunning beasts. Mark the center point of the land, and it might be the nest."
Of course, there is no absolute, it is just a guess.
No matter what, you have to get a head, otherwise you will be like a headless fly. Can you find it in the year of the monkey and the horse in the month?
If I get lucky one day, I'm afraid my injuries will be healed long ago.
"Well, let's take the Talisman Painting Street as a dot and slowly search in all directions." The Talisman Painting Street he mentioned is a gathering place for a large number of middle and low-level Talisman Painting Masters, with dozens of shops with different focuses.
.
I don’t know why, but everyone always likes to get together when doing business.
I went out early this morning to negotiate rent with the owner of a shop.
He planned to expand his network of contacts and inquire about all kinds of news about missing cases in the city. What other profession could make it easier to deal with people than being a businessman?
After arriving at the destination, I found the owner of the rental house and had a heated exchange of words. The two parties had a three-month deadline and each time they had to pay fifteen evil jade rents.
Five pieces of evil jade per month, there is a saying that the price is not cheap, of course it is not too expensive, it is more reasonable.
There is no need to tidy up the shop. All valuable things can be taken away by the boss.
The shop is not big, about fifty square meters, with a counter at the entrance and many charms hanging on the surrounding walls.
Before deciding to rent it, he roughly visited the shops on both sides of the street. Most of them were offensive spells, and only a small part were defensive and therapeutic spells.
We currently operate seven types of low- and intermediate-level spells, all of which are defensive and therapeutic, with no attack type.
Not to mention, a few evil spirits came to the door as soon as it opened. They just saw that the price marked was half higher than the market price. They didn't even think about bargaining, so they turned around and left immediately.
"."
Do you know what you get for what you pay for? I am a master of spells. If I don’t double it four or five times, I will make a profit if I buy it!
He did the whole show and waited until night before closing the shop.
Today's turnover: 0.
On the way, I still tried my best to sense the fluctuations of evil spirits around me, but unfortunately I found nothing.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. The cheap master has wasted hundreds of years just for a beast. I'm only half a month old, so there's nothing to be anxious about." He comforted himself and returned home.
Polite Heianbo boss: "You!"
Go back to the bedroom and start practicing immediately!
The strength of his physical body has increased the speed and quality of his practice of the Three Treasures of Essence, Qi, and God several times. After practicing for one night, he will be able to compete with the previous three days. In another half month, he should be able to advance to the Dan-Conquering Realm.
After a night of silence, I got up and took a shower in high spirits.
The ultimate "Inner Alchemy" is really powerful.
In the past, I was exhausted after practicing for once.
Nowadays, it is not the case. Not only do I not feel tired at all after a night, but I feel invigorated, and I feel like I am continuing my efforts and staying up late to cultivate immortality.
It’s not surprising, as with the growth of the Three Treasures of Jing, Qi and Shen, it is inevitable to have strong energy.
In the past, it only consumed the three, but now it is growing little by little.
After a night, my energy and energy have not been wasted, but have doubled. Being exhausted is a sign of ghosts!
The next day, continue "going to work".
After opening the door, he thought about it. It was not a problem to passively wait for people to buy.
Find a sign and write down six characters - "One cent, one cent".
Throw it out, hum a tune, sit behind the counter, close your eyes and relax.
Several evil spirits came one after another in the morning, and because of the sign outside, they became interested.
As a result, when I entered the store and looked at the prices, everyone left.
Can't afford it, can't afford it!
In the afternoon, several richly dressed young men came into the store.
I bought a few of them without saying a word, and I didn't say any harsh words before leaving. Who knows if I can afford to offend him or not?
They were just not short of money, so they decided to buy a few to see if they were worthy of the name.
The afternoon passed by in a flash.
Before closing, the guys who were buying charms smiled happily and wrapped all the charms in the shop.
"."
My goal is to deal with more people, how can I do business if you buy them all?
The next day, I took out another stack of replenishment supplies.
Low and intermediate level spells are completely trivial.
The price has gone up again, doubling the market price.
Perhaps, because of the publicity given by the young master, there were many more customers in the shop today.
In one morning, everything was sold out.
As a last resort, I replenished the goods again in the afternoon and continued to increase the price until it doubled the market price.
In the afternoon, there was still an endless stream of people buying charms.
Nothing else, who told him to congratulate someone with a charm, the effect is better than the ones on the market!
Especially the "King Kong Talisman" and "Rejuvenation Talisman" are selling like hot cakes and are definitely the best-selling items in the shop.
There was really no other way, so he had no choice but to impose purchase restrictions.
Business is going well, but the original intention is not to make money, but to make friends and get information.
On the third day, Wang Xing led several colleagues from the disciplinary team to the door.
"Hey, it turns out that the famous spell master in the city is you, Mr. Lei!" The young man blurted out with a surprised look on his face while holding the strange beast in his hand.
"Xiao Wang, are you here to buy some charms?" Wu Renzhao asked with a smile on his face, with the kind expression of the grandfather next door.
"Well, the recent disappearances have made people panic. People in the team said that there is a high probability that someone is refining elixirs or refining weapons. If you are unlucky and ask us to meet you, it will inevitably lead to a fight between dragons and tigers.
So spend some money and buy some charms. Being prepared at critical moments can save a life. I heard from some people that the charms in your shop are more effective than those on the market, so we are here."
Wang Xing said one by one, introducing his colleagues by the way.
The famous ruthless man was very happy about this, and the number of news channels increased.
"Others are limited to purchasing five of each type of charm. Since you are members of the disciplinary team, you can purchase ten for each of you."
When everyone heard this, they immediately clasped their hands and thanked him.
Before they came, they naturally inquired about the rules of the store.
Nowadays, if you can get the old man to break the rules and sell them more charms, you must be grateful.
"There are ten pieces of "Diamond Talisman" and "Rejuvenation Talisman" each. Outsiders say that Mr. Lei, your "Diamond Talisman" can ignore inferior magic weapons and even resist part of the power of medium magic weapons.
The "Rejuvenation Talisman" is even more remarkable. As long as the body and limbs are not broken, most external injuries and internal injuries can be cured with just one spell."
"Hahaha, I have been painting talismans for hundreds of years, and the "Vajra Talisman" and "Rejuvenation Talisman" are even more handy. Otherwise, the price would not be twice that of the same talisman on the market."
After some pleasantries, everyone bought the charms and left.
Before leaving, Wang Xing said that he would treat him to a drink at the Kelai Restaurant in the evening to repay his kindness for breaking the rules today.
He Zhao happily agreed and made friends with more disciplinary team evil warriors, which was originally part of the plan.
Before dark, close the door and head to the restaurant.
Xiao Wang and the others had already left the office and were waiting in the private room for a long time.
A group of people eat and drink. When people are drunk, most of them like to chat and are willing to talk about themselves.
Some people said they encountered something strange today, and they arrested a few strangers who were doing something in the city.
As they talked, they talked about the disappearance case.
"Hey, last night, another child disappeared. But he was not twelve or three years old, but fifteen years old. If this continues, seventeen or eight years old, an adult. If he develops and develops, he might become a strange person.
, the evil-refining warrior.”
A red-faced member of the disciplinary team talked about a case that has been hotly debated recently.
"Oh? I haven't heard anyone mention it recently." Renren Zhao, disguised as a kind-faced old man, asked in a drunken and hazy state with his eyes narrowed.
"Hi, old man. You don't know, the matter is a bit big. Not to mention that most mortals don't dare to go out at night, and sometimes even in the daytime they don't dare to leave the house.
The captain issued a silence order, not only not allowing our team members involved in the investigation to speak out, but also some victims, parents who lost their children, neighbors, and anyone with knowledge of the matter were not allowed to speak.
Once someone leaks the secret, he will be taken directly to the prison of the disciplinary team and served. Yes, old man, please don't tell anyone about this, otherwise I will definitely shed a layer of my skin."
The red-faced man hurriedly made amends. Although the news was leaked and nothing major happened, there was no need to suffer.
"Don't worry, I have lived a long life and have a very strict mouth."
While talking, he invited everyone to drink.
While a group of people were confused, he made subtle insinuations.
The people in the disciplinary team were confused and their mouths were as loose as the waistband of their pants. They said whatever they wanted.
‘Sanshui Street, Yinshi.’
By comparing the information from the members of the disciplinary team, he found that the time when the evil beast eats people is getting later and later. It no longer commits crimes during the day. Instead, it is postponed to after midnight, and its actions become more secretive.
According to the confession they asked, the victim got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, but did not come back until dawn. When his parents looked for him, the door to the toilet was open and empty.
'The last attack has been postponed for seven days. It seems that the injuries should be relieved and not as anxious as before.'
At the beginning of the disappearance case, the first five victims were separated by one day at the shortest and two days at the longest.
'You can't be in a hurry, and you can't go to the missing place to investigate in person.'
Who knows if there is an ambush by the disciplinary team? If they really happened to encounter it, they might be blamed.
'Well, I'll ask those rich kids tomorrow. They must also have information channels, so they can make comparisons and narrow down the scope. Or, mark the areas where the evil beasts may be hiding.'
After finishing the meal, everyone went back to their homes.
On the way, he and Wang Xing returned side by side.
