In fact, during the Spring Festival in the earth world, whether people are going home or going out to work, although people are tired, there is still some expression of "expectation" in the corners of their eyes and eyebrows.
But in front of us, there were several rooms full of people, their faces were ashen and their eyes were lifeless. If you looked closely, you could see a slight numbness, even despair. Only a few people had deep unwillingness hidden in their eyes.
Isn't this a bit too much? Chen Taizhong really can't describe his mood at this moment.
These casual cultivators are all caused by me! He turned around silently and continued to explore the courtyard.
At this moment, a scream came from not far away, it was a woman's voice.
However, at this moment, Chen Taizhong was as calm as a man facing a forced marriage by his mistress. He had already made up his mind and no external factors could affect him.
He moved to that place unhurriedly, no matter how the woman inside was crying.
However, when he finally stood at the door of that room, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and almost had some impulse: Is it really the original sin to be a rogue cultivator?
Two men and one woman in the room were tortured on a little girl, and he could see the torture at a glance. The seventy-two marrow-drawing fingers were a punishment even more sinister than the pulse-cutting palm.
What's worse is that he knows this girl. Although he doesn't know her name, he calls her "Ba Dao"!
"You'd better explain yourself," a woman hugged her arms and sneered. "With your brother and sister, you can actually have one high spirit and thirty-seven middle spirits in your family. You know a lot about the Zhou family, and you are suddenly rich.
...Also after Chen Taizhong left."
"I told you, it was given to me by my master," the girl grinned in pain and sweated profusely. "If you don't believe it, you can search for the soul, but... my master will not let you go."
"I accept you as a wandering immortal as my disciple, and your master is just an ant." The woman sneered and said, "Maybe it's your fault that you met Chen Taizhong, and Huaibi... it's a big mistake!"
It turned out that the spiritual being was discovered. Chen Taizhong was speechless, but the girl was cautious enough. He remembered that he gave her ten or fifteen spiritual beings at that time, but now only one spiritual being was discovered.
, as well as dozens of spirits, proving that she is still very careful in doing things.
Obviously, the Zheng family did not think that this little girl must know Chen Taizhong, but she just wanted to kill the wrong person and not let him go.
If this could lead to the discovery of the little girl's secret of earning spiritual power, the torture would not be in vain.
In short, for the Zheng family, this woman's suspicion is dispensable, and the soul-searching technique cannot be used casually, so she was not soul-searched.
As for the deterrent power of the "master" in her mouth, only God knows.
When Chen Taizhong turned to leave, for some reason, he thought of the brother and sister who died at Fei Qiu's hands. He took a deep breath and said: This kind of tragedy will never happen again in front of me.
Next, I don't know if it was for psychological reasons. He always felt that he became more cautious when exploring other places - strictly speaking, he felt that time passed a little too slowly.
When he explored Lei Xiaosheng's yard in front and back, the sky was already getting slightly dark. He observed carefully for a while in front of the yard and found that unless he walked straight in from the front door, it would be difficult not to be alarmed.
The other party - too many warnings.
Then he came up with the idea of building a wall. There were also some early warning devices on the wall, but if he really wanted to climb over the wall, as long as he looked at the right footing, he would basically not alert the other party.
But in the end, Chen Taizhong still chose to go up to the house. The yard was not big, just two acres of land. There were obvious warning arrays on the tiles of the house, and the gaps were also very obvious.
The reason why he chose to go to the house was because the early warning array on the roof was connected with the large array in the entire station. The method was similar and not weird. In other words, the Zheng family did not make any changes to the roof.
.
After going to the house, he easily chose a safe spot in the yard and jumped down gently.
The place where he jumped was on the side of the wing. Then he turned his head and saw that in the middle of the main room, there was a young man sitting on a chair, holding a paper book in his hand, and on the table next to him.
, there is a pot of tea.
The young man was very engrossed in reading, taking a sip of tea from time to time without even raising his eyelids.
Chen Taizhong did not dare to use his spiritual consciousness to observe the other person's level, and he did not even dare to scan this person with his spiritual eyes.
Because he has been scanned by spiritual eyes more than once, he knows that for those with keen senses, being observed by spiritual eyes can also produce some reactions.
So he didn't know what level of spiritual immortal this person was. The only thing that was certain was that this person's level was higher than his.
He was already a fifth-level spirit immortal, and those above him, except for sixth-level immortals, were all high-level spiritual immortals or above, so he believed that this person was most likely Zheng Yongchang.
He didn't dare to investigate Zheng Yongchang, but he still dared to explore the surrounding environment. After this investigation, he couldn't help but take another breath of cold air. The area around this house was not as heavily guarded as usual.
He didn't know anything else. At least there was a defensive formation around Zheng Yongchang ready to go. Inside the threshold, there was a phantom formation. As for the phantom formation, there were two more formations. He couldn't see clearly at first, but they were probably for killing.
Array.
Outside the threshold, there is a strip-shaped trigger array, which should be able to activate the magic array, but this trigger array is also connected to two well-hidden nozzles.
There is definitely nothing good in this nozzle, but Chen Taizhong believes that the possibility of poison being sprayed is very small. It is more likely that what is sprayed is special spices or... developing powder.
Obviously, the other party was so heavily guarded to prevent him from being invisible, and Zheng Yongchang stayed here, presumably considering the possibility of him coming to assassinate him.
With such a tight guard, Chen Taizhong would definitely not be able to succeed with one blow. As long as there was a slight delay, the book boy who was a ninth-level immortal next to him would rush over to support him.
After being poisoned by spices or developing powder, it will be difficult for him to escape. The Zheng family can always ask for the support of the third-level angel.
From this point of view, only fools would put poison in the nozzle. If the poison does not kill the opponent and cannot keep anyone alive, then it is a waste of time. If the developing powder or spices are stained on the body, Chen Taizhong will have endless troubles.
Trouble.
Such a design cannot be said to be ingenious, but no matter how deliberate the Zheng family was, they never expected that someone would actually learn the legendary forbidden art - Spiritual Eyes.
The spiritual eye technique coupled with countless cautions is the reason why my brother is able to stand firmly here now. Thinking of this, Chen Taizhong couldn't help but feel a little proud.
However, after feeling proud, he began to scratch his head. This guy was so guarded, how could I kill him?
Of course, he could choose Zheng Hai to kill. Killing the ninth-level spirit immortal should remove the biggest threat to his trip.
However, Chen Taizhong didn't think so. Although Zheng Yongchang's level was a little lower, he was only a seventh-level spiritual immortal, but as a descendant of the Zheng family who was listed in the genealogy, his status was not comparable to that of Zheng Hai.
The Zheng family came prepared this time, and any trump card they have must be Zheng Yongchang.
So according to his estimation, this seventh-level immortal should be harder to kill than the ninth-level immortal.
But now, he can only choose to wait.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the door of the wing room opposite rang, and a young man with white teeth and red lips walked out. He walked to the door of the main room in a few steps and bowed slightly, "Second Young Master, what do you want to eat tonight?"
?”
Chen Taizhong did not regard this man as a young man. In fact, this young man has a pair of eyes that are not consistent with his age. Those calm, old and cold eyes, anyone who is interested can tell at a glance that this man is definitely an old man.
Guy.
For cultivators, appearance and body shape can deceive people, but eyes can rarely deceive people.
Chen Taizhong did not dare to look directly into the other person's eyes for fear of arousing the other person's vigilance, but even so, he could also conclude that the other person was not young.
As for this person being an eighth-level wandering immortal, he did not use the spiritual eye technique to investigate. However, he was certain that next to the seventh-level spiritual immortal, there was an old guy who looked like a teenager. If this old guy was an eighth-level wandering immortal,
Immortal - who believes it?
The bookboy asked, and the second young master waved his hand, "No need to prepare. The food in this small place is too ordinary, not as good as the dry food in my storage bag. If you are interested, you can eat it yourself."
The book boy smiled, turned around, opened the door and left.
Seeing the wide open courtyard door, Chen Taizhong felt a faint urge to take action, but he still pressed it forcefully: now was not a good time to take action.
In fact, he could leave a nuclear bomb here, pat his butt and leave. When he is far away, he can directly detonate it by remote control. However, thinking of the many casual cultivators not far away, he felt that he could not do this - what are the casual cultivators?
Guilty?
Moreover, the nuclear bombs in his hand are non-renewable resources. It is really not worthwhile to use one less for a mere seventh-level fairy.
Then just wait and see, Chen Taizhong has made a decision. Once Chen decides what to do, he has a lot of patience.
The bookboy came back not long after he left, carrying various kinds of food in his hands. After eating, he put the plate outside the door and closed the courtyard door.
There was no conversation for the rest of the night. At night, the second young master turned off the lights and went to sleep. Chen Taizhong didn't even think about breaking in.
When it got light the next day, Chen Taizhong was sitting there quietly cross-legged, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Immediately afterwards, a raindrop the size of a soybean fell on his face...it was actually raining!
Damn it, Chen Taizhong cursed in his heart, his invisibility skills were what made him most afraid of encountering this kind of weather. Was it because of the rain that Mr. Nabei saw through his whereabouts?
The courtyard of Lei Xiaosheng is also very poorly built. Except for the main house, the eaves of the side rooms on both sides are less than 20 centimeters, so there is no way to shelter from the rain.
Should he hide under the tree or under the eaves of the main house? Chen Taizhong was hesitating when the book boy in green clothes and a small hat opened the door and walked out. He glanced at the sky and said, "Oh, it's raining."
(Next week is coming soon, I will continue to work on the recommendation list on Monday, because I have to see a doctor during the day tomorrow, and I will update it in the early morning, so I will book a recommendation ticket for Monday.)
