After finishing these chores, the time has already reached nine o'clock, which is around five to seven o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Li looked up at the sky. Dark clouds drifting from nowhere had completely covered the sky, making the dusk extremely dark and depressing.
"Shop owner, please just give us a room!"
When Jiang Li walked into the inn, a woman in red and a maid were talking to the innkeeper.
It's just that because Jiang Li brought more than thirty people to check in at once, the hotel rooms were full, so they probably couldn't book a room.
"My wife went back to her parents' house to visit her relatives, but the sky is getting dark and it's about to rain heavily. Storekeeper, just do it. It's okay if we don't want to go to the house."
It is also a custom for a woman to go home to visit her relatives. Within three months after a woman gets married, she should go back to her parents' home once to visit her parents and tell each other how they miss her.
However, the time to return home is also somewhat particular. When the sun rises in the morning, it is best to be full of vitality and purple energy coming from the east, which is an auspicious sign.
At noon, when the sun is strongest, the yang energy is strong, which means peace, and this is the next best thing.
And this time of night is quite taboo in customs. In addition, the weather is now covered with dark clouds, and going home now will probably be regarded as an unlucky sign, which is absolutely unacceptable.
If you encounter unkind parents, you may not even let your own daughter in.
That's why these two people came to this inn, wanting to rest for a night and go home early tomorrow morning.
"Madam, please don't embarrass the shop. The shop really has no guest rooms. Otherwise, how could the shop deliberately not do business?"
The boss kept making excuses.
The mark left by Jiang Li was still clearly visible on his wrist. It was an "immortal trick". Although it was not painful or itchy, he was convinced that as long as he disobeyed, he would die on the spot.
Therefore, how could he dare to touch Jiang Li's brow and ask his people to move the house?
"What happened?"
Jiang Li walked into the inn and asked.
The boss quickly abandoned the two of them, ran to Jiang Li, bowed his hands, and then told him everything in detail.
Jiang Li looked at the two people. People in this era got married early, and the age of the lady and the maid were not much older than him.
"Let your subordinates squeeze in and make a guest room for them."
He threw two identification skills over and found nothing unusual. He didn't intend to embarrass the two women, so he gave it a convenience.
"Yes! Master Immortal!"
The shop owner agreed again.
When the two women over there heard this, they turned around and gave him a thank you gift.
However, as soon as they turned around, Jiang Li was immediately disappointed.
"As expected, everything in the novel is a lie. How is it possible that everyone you meet is a beautiful woman? Forget it and go back to meditate."
He cursed, waved his hand, and returned to the upper room.
....
Putting aside his thoughts and meditating attentively, Jiang Li soon got into the process of listening to the "Avalokitesvara Heart Sutra" again.
Although this Heart Sutra is still severely incomplete, Jiang Li has already fully understood its magic.
This Heart Sutra seems to have a strong connection with someone who has been incarnated in three thousand forms!
So far, Jiang Li's progress in teaching the scriptures has been less than one-thousandth, but by reciting it every day, his other two spells have unexpectedly improved by leaps and bounds.
Those are the two small paths related to the method of incarnation, the technique of planting corpses and the five-power god!
The seeds of the Zombie Seed Technique take root deeper, and while the control is stronger, it can also transfer spiritual energy from the body to the zombie. Although the spiritual energy transferred is limited, it can already increase the zombie's body considerably.
The five-power god has made even greater progress. In a short period of time, he has become the master of all five gods. Although he is not as good as Elder Weng Sanqi, who can control dozens of puppets at the same time, he can control them.
, the puppet's words and deeds are no different from ordinary people.
Moreover, Avalokitesvara! You can observe the sounds of all things in the world!
This Heart Sutra is particularly good at observing and exploring the outside world!
As Jiang Li followed the mysterious voice, he began to chant the Guanyin Heart Sutra.
His ears began to gradually become more and more sensitive, and all the extremely small sounds around him were clearly received by his ears.
A world composed of sounds quickly took shape in his sea of consciousness.
In the shadow of the corner, a cockroach was chewing on grains of rice that had fallen a few days ago.
In the gap of the wooden window, a fly smelled the smell of food and was twisting its body trying to squeeze into the room.
In the next room, two guys were using wet rags to wipe away the dust and stains on the table...
The sounds coming into his ears became clearer and clearer, and the area covered by Jiang Li's hearing also felt larger. Soon, several familiar voices came into his ears.
"What are you afraid of, Daqiang? Can he still hear you from such a distance?"
"But...but do we really have to do this? We can't beat that kid."
"Yes, Wu Han is no match for him in the later stages of Qi training, so where do we stand? What's more, he still has a contract in his hand."
When Jiang Li heard it, it was the voices of those three guys, and it sounded like they were still plotting something, so he calmed down a little and passed away.
"No, I doubt that boy is actually that powerful at all!"
One of them said this in a "wisdom" tone.
"How to say it, hurry up! Tell it carefully!"
The other two people suddenly became energetic and asked quickly.
"Didn't you notice that the way Jiang Li walked became a little strange after he entered the city?"
"When you said that, I remembered it. He didn't seem to walk like this at first, but then suddenly his walking speed slowed down, and... he became a lot stiffer."
"But what does this mean?"
The other two people also noticed something strange about Jiang Li, but they didn't understand the reason.
"It's a pill!"
"Elixir?" The other two people were still confused.
"That's right, we have inquired before that Jiang Li is actually a registered disciple of the Alchemy Hall. He must have a lot of pills with him."
"Don't you wonder why he was able to kill Wu Han in the middle of his Qi training? I suspect that he took some kind of explosive elixir to become so powerful."
"It wasn't that he didn't want to kill us at that time, but that he no longer had the ability to kill us, so he tricked us into signing the contract!"
"Then, do you remember that he deliberately avoided us and stayed alone for a few breaths? That must be the side effects of the elixir, and he needs to take other elixirs to suppress it!"
"Then he started to move slowly and stayed in the room. I'm sure he must be very weak now and doesn't have much strength at all!"
The other two people thought about what he said and suddenly realized it at the same time, and then a wave of anger rushed into their hearts.
"Damn it! Then we have been tricked by him!"
Being tricked into signing that kind of contract by a weakling, they naturally felt extremely angry.
"But now that the contract is in his hands, there's nothing we can do about it?"
"That's why we have to take a long-term approach and wait until he relaxes his vigilance to strike back! At that time, we will also let him have a taste of what it's like to sign a contract of betrayal!"
"Yes, let's hang him up again, just as he said, lower! Let him not be afraid of heights!"
If Jiang Li put some thought into giving them psychological counseling, it would not be difficult to conquer them to the point where they can be used reliably.
But Jiang Li didn't do that. The three of them were Jiang Li, used as bait to test an idea.
The chance of surviving in the end was not high, so it was not worth his trouble.
During Jiang Li's teaching and cultivation and their conspiracy, the sky turned completely dark.
They didn't know that there were already several pairs of eyes quietly staring at them in a dark corner.
....
At night, under the shroud of dark clouds, Yunxi City was completely dark.
Only this inn still had the lights on, and the kitchen was even more busy, not daring to slack off at all.
All kinds of exquisite dishes, bowls and plates were brought to the dining table. Jars of good wine were patted off the sealing mud, mixed with half of the water and placed aside.
Jiang Li specially ordered that the wine be mixed with water to prevent the spirits from getting too drunk and unable to help him.
Soon, pairs of dark bamboo chopsticks were neatly placed on the twenty Eight Immortals tables, waiting for the guests' good news.
The smell of meat mixed with the smell of wine spread far and wide, and the children next door couldn't stand it anymore, so they moved away overnight.
finally.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Knock four more times, the hour has passed!
In the dark night, pairs of glowing eyes lit up. It was clear that no one was walking on the road. Noisy sounds suddenly sounded, but it was clearly as noisy as a busy street.
Various monster guests presented gifts and took their seats, and the twenty Eight Immortals tables were quickly filled to the brim.
Jiang Li still underestimated the enthusiasm of these monsters, and quickly ordered his men to quickly add dining table seats. He also knocked on the doors of several restaurants overnight and asked them to start a stove and light a fire and help cook together.
However, while delicacies are more tempting to these spirits, gold and silver are even more tempting to them.
Jiang Li only saw countless black figures, lining up to exchange gold and silver, pouring into the bamboo shed like a flowing stream, eating quickly for a while, then leaving from the other side like a flowing stream, and hurriedly went to catch the ghosts again.
.
Jiang Li looked delighted, this scene was much better than he expected.
But...he felt a strong sense of disobedience in his heart.
Something seemed wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what exactly was wrong.
It wasn't until two hours later that the innkeeper hurried upstairs and said a word to Jiang Li that he finally woke up!
"Master Immortal! Master Immortal! It's not good!"
"That money! It's almost not enough!"
Jiang Li froze on the spot, seven hundred thousand taels of silver... wasn't enough!?
etc!
Five taels of silver per ghost, five taels of silver per soul...could it be that they captured nearly 70,000 souls in one night!?
This is impossible!
Jiang Li's first reaction was disbelief!
I suspect that those three guys were dishonest and gave away too much money.
After all, a normal soul will completely dissipate in just seven days without the nourishment of Yin Qi.
How could this city with a population of only 400,000 have such a large number of souls appear in such a short period of time?
But thinking about the endless stream of monsters, it seems that this is the case.
He walked to the window and looked out at Yunxi City in the dark night.
"Elder Duan Shuang...what on earth did you do in this city!"
