"Wang Er, ten taels of silver and one Fire Yang Pill."
"..."
"Jiang Chen, twenty taels of silver and five Fire Yang Pills."
"I bet, Mr. Jiang, you are so rich. You have twenty taels. How many meals of flower wine can you drink in a row?" Wang Er's eyes shone.
During the first week of patrolling, Zhan kept chanting one name after another. The reward from the county magistrate finally came. This time, Jiang Chen was the one with the most generous reward.
After all, he is the one facing the spider spirit, and he is facing great danger. If the Pure Yang Kung Fu fails to reach the state of first glimpse, he may be the one who dies.
"Jiang Chen deserves to be the first contributor."
"It's been a hard time for everyone."
"But remember, you must not take it lightly. Fortunately, the spider spirit is just a low-class fairy with insufficient cultivation. Otherwise, you will all be wiped out."
Jiang Chen also had a look of joy and excitement in his eyes, twenty taels! His monthly salary was only one tael of silver, and these twenty taels were his salary for eight months a year.
After killing a spider spirit, he got twenty taels. It can be imagined that the monster is terrible. This is the money he got in exchange for his life.
There are also five Fire Yang Pills, which can speed up the progress of the Pure Yang Kung Fu.
"Hei Xiong, the owner of Qunfang House, has received the news a long time ago and disappeared for a while. The owner mentioned by the spider spirit is most likely this Hei Xiong."
Jiang Chen learned from the patrol leader that as early as three days ago, when the spider spirit died, Hei Xiong quietly left with all his money.
This guy is definitely not a good person. If he ruined his good deeds, the black bear must have a grudge against him.
"Boss, is it possible that Hei Xiong is also a goblin?" This is what Jiang Chen is concerned about.
"Regardless of whether it is possible or not, everyone must remain vigilant in the near future."
"It's not very quiet in the county recently, and everyone is in high spirits." Zhou Zhan seemed to know something, but he was so taboo that he didn't elaborate.
Everyone nodded solemnly, it was a matter of their own lives, everyone treated it with caution.
Jiang Chen was secretly vigilant, and besides, there was the Black Tiger Gang behind Hei Xiong, so he had to be cautious in everything.
"Something happened at Zhang Yuanwai's house recently. You two go take a look. If you can't solve it, report it immediately." Zhou Zhan pointed at Jiang Chen and Wang Erlian and spoke.
"Yes, boss."
…
"Old Wang, what happened outside Zhang Yuanwai?" Jiang Chen put on a black suit and rode a horse.
"I heard that some strange things happened at Zhang Yuan's house recently." Lao Wang changed his usual wretchedness and spoke solemnly.
"The carcasses of some animals, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, appeared one after another in Zhang Yuan's house, but the blood of these animals was missing, as if they had been sucked out by something."
"Is it the goblins causing trouble again?" Jiang Chen's heart moved.
"No matter what, this matter is a bit evil, so we must act carefully."
"People in Zhang Yuan's family are in panic, and many people are clamoring to leave."
"We have to deal with this quickly."
Zhang Yuanwai belongs to a wealthy family. Most wealthy families spend a lot of money. In addition to the fees paid to the Yamen for doing things, the thank you gifts after the work are often generous, which is enough to make a small profit for them.
The two of them rushed forward, and soon a huge mansion appeared in front of them.
There are two white lanterns hanging on the black door. There are also large words of "died" written on the lanterns, which means that someone has passed away in this mansion and is in mourning.
The white partition walls exude an ancient charm, and among the green trees, neat tile-roofed houses are lined up one after another.
Under the illumination of the light, the flowers are shining brightly.
As soon as he got close, he was greeted by an old man over fifty years old and dressed in rich clothes.
"Sir Inspector, we have finally arrived." The old man looked excited, as if he saw hope.
The wrinkles on his face were as dry and rough as tree bark, and his cloudy eyes showed a ray of light from time to time.
On the way here, Wang Er told Jiang Chen most of the situation. This person was Zhang Yuanwai's housekeeper Li Ping, who was responsible for managing everything at home.
After the two men quickly dismounted, two young men respectfully took the horse ropes from their hands.
"Steward Li." Jiang Chen followed Wang Er and clasped his fists in return.
"Two adults, please come inside." Li Ping said with a respectful look, leading the two of them into the courtyard.
As soon as you enter the gate, a blue brick and gravel road in the middle leads directly to the hall. The hall door is four black doors, and the two middle doors are slightly open.
You can vaguely see that the interior is covered with white curtains, and in the middle of the hall, there is a black coffin carefully made of precious wood.
The coffin is carved with exquisite patterns and is one meter high from the ground.
"Is that the coffin of Mrs. Zhang?" Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. When he looked at the coffin, a chill appeared in his body involuntarily, and the pure Yang skill started to work on its own, and the chill suddenly disappeared.
Pass away.
"It's definitely not an illusion!" At noon, Jiang Chen secretly thought.
Along the way, the two of them could see that there were families of guards armed with swords everywhere in the courtyard. These people were all thick-waisted and strong, and they knew they were not easy to mess with.
"The trouble in this member's wife's family doesn't look simple," Jiang Chen pondered.
Butler Li quickly led the two of them through the spacious corridor, where pavilions, bridges and flowing water could be seen everywhere.
Everyone came to the living room.
Zhang Yuanwai is a somewhat obese middle-aged man with small eyes and looks very shrewd.
But his eye sockets were black, his expression was haggard, and he looked severely tortured.
"The adults from the Yamen are here, and together with Taoist priest Lin from Qingxu Temple, we can definitely solve this strange thing." Zhang Yuanwai greeted Jiang Chen and the two of them, sat down in front of the hall, ordered his servants to pour tea and water, and then sighed with emotion.
.
Only then did Jiang Chen notice that there were two Taoist priests wearing yellow robes in front of the hall, one old and one young.
The older one was in his forties, had a long beard, squinted his eyes, and carried a mahogany sword on his back. When the old Taoist priest saw Jiang Chen and the others coming in, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen a few more times.
"This boy has such a strong yang energy."
"Looking at his aura, he is just an ordinary person. An ordinary person with such a strong yang energy can easily attract ghosts and evil spirits..."
The old Taoist priest could tell at a glance that Jiang Chen was different.
The other little Taoist priest is about the same age as Jiang Chen. He has no white beard, delicate skin, and some baby fat. He looks very good-looking. Yes, he is good-looking. This was Jiang Chen's first thought.
The little Taoist priest stared at Jiang Chen and the two with curiosity in his eyes.
Zhang Yuanwai not only invited people from the yamen, but also two Taoist priests. He saw that the problems in his house had been bothering him for a long time.
"Please tell me the specific situation first." Wang Er said with a smile.
"Alas..." Zhang Yuanwai sighed and said, "My Zhang family's ancestors are all virtuous and do good deeds. I don't know why we encountered such strange things."
"Just three days ago, the carcasses of wild cats began to appear in the mansion. It was extremely gruesome. Some servants in the mansion also discovered that the live chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep they had purchased had turned into shriveled corpses the next day.
"
"It's been like this for several days in a row. The servants and maids in the house are in panic these days and have no intention of doing anything. Taoist priest, young heroes, you must help me. If this continues, my Zhang family may not be able to live in peace."
"In the past few days, I haven't been able to eat well or sleep well. This matter is all on my mind, and my business can't continue. You must help me. I will be very grateful." Zhang Yuanwai looked sad.
.
"Zhang Yuanwai, don't worry, I'm here and will definitely help you settle this matter." As soon as the Taoist priest heard the deep thanks, he opened his eyes instantly and spoke with confidence.
"I'll go ahead and thank the Taoist priest!" Zhang Yuanwai quickly thanked him.
"Has anything happened at home recently?" Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and asked.
Most demons like to suck human blood, but are not interested in the blood of chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep. This may not be what demons do.
But we don’t rule out the possibility!
Zhang Yuanwai shook his head and said: "Of course nothing happened. If I have to say it did, it would be the end of Jia Ci's life."
Thinking about it, Jiang Chen had some speculation in his heart that he was sucking human blood, and he happened to encounter Mrs. Zhang who had just passed away, and the coffin was still in the house.
"Is it a zombie?" Jiang Chen secretly warned, zombies are not like goblins.
Zombies have no humanity, lose their senses, and are filled with resentment because they refuse to close their eyes to death. The yin energy is too strong and they turn into monsters.
The most basic characteristic of zombies is that they remain dead. It is said that in addition to absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to nourish the body, zombies can also suck blood from people like Western vampires.
Blood is the food of zombies. Jiang Chen has watched many zombie movies in his previous life, and blood-sucking is almost a must-have plot in the movies.
