Chapter 58: The Mo Village

Seeing Xu Luo's confused expression, Li Qinghe finally explained a few words.

"The job was taken over by Da Tieniu, and something strange happened in the Mo family's manor outside the city.

But the Mo family didn’t seem to want to publicize it too much, so they approached Tieniu privately to see if they could resolve it privately.”

"The Mo family? The Mo family that sells medicine!"

Li Qinghe glanced at him and sneered.

"Except for that Mo family, who else can hire four elites from the Exorcism Department at the same time? You don't treat exorcists as a dish!"

Xu Luo was too lazy to pay attention to his boasting, thinking about the Mo family's information in his mind.

The Mo family they mentioned was a famous drug dealer in Moshan County. It was also the Mo family that the Gu family of Sanhe Fort wanted Baba to marry.

Counting from Uncle Cui, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Xu Luo's enemy.

The Mo family accounts for almost 40% of the elixirs and precious materials produced in the Huanjian Mountains. They are really rich and powerful.

But that's just the impression in the minds of ordinary people. When placed in front of the huge exorcism department, it's nothing!

Ordinarily, in today's world, it would not be unusual for a wealthy family like this to have some exorcists and practitioners to look after the home and the courtyard.

But as he stayed in the Exorcism Department longer, Xu Luo gradually understood the twists and turns involved.

In Moshan County, all awakened exorcists need to register with the Exorcism Department.

The so-called Yiyuantang is specially prepared for these local snakes, wealthy gentry, and all kinds of second generations.

This hall is nominally responsible for defense, and there is no need for you to go out and fight everywhere. But your whole family is staying in the county, so I want you to guard this city headquarters, right?

Moreover, the current Sizheng of Moshan County is the head of the Gu family, the largest exorcism family in Moshan County.

The big tigers have entered the gate, where else do you little kittens want to jump?

Judging from this period of time, the Exorcism Department's control over Moshan County was still very strict and powerful.

The characteristics of various cultivators' companions and skills are all registered in detail. Even small things like Xu Luo and others need to report it when they go out of the city.

Not to mention, if you kill something without authorization, it would be fine if you kill something evil, but what if you kill an ordinary person?

Haha, you think the Emperor of Yan spends so much tax treasures to support the imperial army, but he only wants to rob farms?

Mojia Manor was not far from the city, and several people arrived there an hour later.

There was an old man in his fifties who looked like a housekeeper at the entrance of Zhuangzi, waiting anxiously.

Seeing Wang Peiran's conspicuous tall figure, the old man smiled on his face.

"Master Wang, you are finally here!"

Having said this, he paused for a moment, looked at Xu Luo and the two people who were following him, looked wary, and his voice suddenly dropped.

"It was specifically explained above that Dalang has full authority to handle this matter.

If there is any need for the old man's help, just give him the order. As for the rest of the people, you see..."

Wang Peiran changed his naive behavior in the exorcism department and nodded calmly.

"Don't worry, old housekeeper, your two families have been friends for generations, and the Mo family's affairs are my nephew's affairs.

Just in case, my nephew specially invited a few good brothers from the department, but they are all elites in our class."

The old housekeeper's expression softened, and when he saw the green ox cart approaching, his face seemed to change, and he smiled enthusiastically.

"Please come in, everyone. Arrangements have been made in the village. All the idle people have been assigned to work outside the village. I leave everything to you!"

Only then did Wang Peiran wink at Xu Luo.

The two walked side by side, and he explained the whole story in detail.

The Mo family's manor occupies a vast area. It not only produces rice and grains, but is also the base for the Mo family to purchase medicinal materials from Huanjian Mountain.

Since three days ago, at nightfall, the sad cry of a woman can be heard in the manor.

Nothing happened the first night.

But on the second night, old man Lei, who was guarding the mountain goods warehouse, let out a woman's cry and then fell to the ground without making a sound.

After a life was lost, the old housekeeper reported the matter to the head of the city.

But before the Mo family could figure out a way to deal with it, the third night was last night.

Old Man Lei's eldest son's family of three, plus a younger son, all showed weird crying faces and fell to the ground dead for no reason!

Upon hearing this, Wang Peiran took off a small leather bag from his waist and poured out a vicious beetle the size of three fingers with seven-star spots all over its body.

This is his companion, the Seven-Star Iron Ox. It is fully armored and invulnerable. It can be called the Hercules among the Zerg.

This kind of talent is inconspicuous on insects, but it is terrifying when projected on a wild bull like Wang Peiran!

In their spare time, Xu and Luo once competed with each other.

Even Xu Luo, who practiced "Devil Ape Chaos Body", felt a little ashamed when he didn't exert his full strength.

Of course, what Xu Luo didn't know was that the shock he brought to others was even more terrifying!

Who would have thought that with his thin body and a disability, he could compete with Wang Peiran, whose mind is connected to the Seven-Star Iron Bull, and not fall behind!

Li Heqing was surrounded by pink smoke, which made the old housekeeper couldn't help but stare at her frequently.

Xu Luobian sat on the shaft of the car, tapping his crutches on the ground, making a dull noise.

As for Yang Qing, he held tightly to the Xuanshan pen in his hand...

Okay, let's ignore him!

"how to do?"

This time Wang Peiran was nominally in charge, so Xu Luo couldn't express his thoughts first and asked directly.

Wang Peiran obviously had something in mind and said calmly.

"I think we should go to Old Man Lei's house first. There must be something wrong with his family. As the saying goes, there is no way for good or misfortune, only people bring it to their own devices!"

Xu Luo frowned slightly, he was more interested in the mountain goods warehouse than Old Man Lei's house.

"It's almost noon now, let's try not to delay it until night. If another life is lost, our brothers' faces won't look good.

Why don't we split the troops into two groups, Tieniu, you go to Old Man Lei's house, and I'll go to the mountain goods warehouse to take a look?"

"OK!"

Wang Peiran didn't care. The main purpose of this trip was to help Xu Luo earn some extra money. They didn't have any desire for credit.

In the past hundred years, demons and monsters have become ferocious and rampant.

But in a place where humanity is prosperous like the big city in the county, evil things with a little bit of brains will not come looking for death, and I think this time will be no exception.

Yang Qing is the weakest among the four, so he simply follows Xu Luo. At least he can be carried away by the cart when he encounters danger.

The warehouse was built beside a small lake behind the manor. In order to prevent fire and theft, the walls were all built with hard bluestone.

The only way in and out is the nearly two-foot-thick copper-clad door in front. Even the transom has been reinforced with iron bars, making it foolproof.

The Qingniu cart was parked outside the door. Xu Luo walked through the shelves with a wooden crutch, his nose filled with a faint pungent fragrance.

The steward who came to lead the way introduced.

"This is Baicao Xiang, which is specially designed to control snakes, insects, rats, and ants. It is quite effective, but it is expensive.

If it weren’t for the fact that the manor had collected some strange things this time, the old steward wouldn’t have been willing to light this incense!”

Xu Luo, who was observing on the fourth floor, was moved in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"Oh, can I go take a look and gain some insights?"
