The lights are dim, and the moon and stars are scarce.

The Zhang family, the richest family in Yufeng Town, had a somewhat tense atmosphere at this time.

Obviously, there are lanterns hanging up and down in the house, but there is always a cold atmosphere.

Master Zhang sat in the hall, about fifty years old, dressed in brocade clothes, and his face was slightly flustered.

He looked at the door from time to time, the teacup on the table was empty, his left hand was attached to the chair handle, slightly forced, and the back of his hand was faintly white.

On Mr. Zhang's side, there was Mrs. Zhang, who was dressed in silk and satin, and her face was also anxious.

The face covered with fat powder also had several furrows because of the frowning tightness.

No matter how well maintained, the traces of time cannot be hidden.

At this time, there was no one else in the hall, and the subordinates of the Zhang Mansion stood around the outside of the hall, forming a protective circle, and the hall was protected.

"Master, do you say that this person from the Immortal Gate will come today?" Mrs. Zhang's silk handkerchief was already deformed in her hand, and she was very nervous.

"Don't worry, although the number of people in the Xiaoyao Immortal Gate is small, but as one of the five great immortal gates, this credit is still there, and I will definitely not agree and regret it. He said he would come tonight, and he would come. ”

When Master Zhang said this, he actually didn't know the bottom in his heart.

After all, he had not been in contact with the people in the Immortal Sect outside of Yufeng Town, and he didn't know what kind of character the people outside were.

What's more, it is said that the white jade boy is not easy to get along with.

Mrs. Zhang's expression softened slightly, and she didn't say anything more, and also looked at the door.

Suddenly, a gust of wind struck, and everyone felt their hairs stand on end.

"Chirp!" a mournful bird's cry came from the sky, piercing the night sky.

The people in Zhang's mansion were all like facing a great enemy, and they looked nervous.

"Old, sir, is this the evil one?" Mrs. Zhang didn't care about her demeanor, and got up and ran to Master Zhang's side.

"No, definitely not, don't think about it, the people of the Immortal Gate haven't arrived yet. Master Zhang comforted.

However, he himself trembled violently, and knew that he was deceiving himself.

"That's good, that's good. Mrs. Zhang didn't doubt it anymore, she had always believed in Master Zhang.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, turned into a violent wind, and began to howl, breaking the branches that had been dried in the summer and making a hoarse noise.

In the distance came the barking of dogs, melancholy and mournful, and the wind was mixed with the roar of a palpitating, unknown beast.

The silence of the night was almost shattered by the staggered sounds, and the lanterns that filled the courtyard were all extinguished.

Finally, Master Zhang no longer pretended to be calm and yelled directly.

"Come on, get that mess out of me!"

The servants who were guarding outside the hall were ordered to scatter in search of the screaming thing.

"Ahh

After a few breaths, the courtyard outside the hall returned to calm, as if it had suddenly become normal.

"Master, is it all right outside?" asked Mrs. Zhang nervously.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang had completely lost the appearance of a noblewoman, the bun on her head was also scattered, and her face was pale.

"I don't know, it should be fine. Master Zhang stood up, held back the fear in his heart, and shrank to the door uneasily.

Why didn't the people outside move?

Mrs. Zhang crouched on the edge of her chair, her hands clasped on her knees, trembling all over, and her eyes staring at the door.

There was a muffled sound, and I don't know what hit Master Zhang's feet, he looked down and stared.

Man is a person of flesh and blood.

This dressed man is his servant!

Ahead, a pair of cold eyes stared at him, making him unable to move.

"Someone, help, help!"

It took a long time for Master Zhang to hold back these words, and he fell to the ground softly, leaning against the wall at the entrance of the hall and panting.

Not far from him, there was a big black bird about a meter tall, its body was shrouded in black qi, and its eyes were extremely evil.

It's not quite like a bird to say it's a leg, because this leg is actually a human leg.

The big bird opened its mouth, and a black gas spewed out of its mouth like a sharp arrow, flying towards Master Zhang.

Old Master Zhang saw the black qi coming towards him, and he was about to fly into his chest.

"Bang!"

A white light exploded, shattering the black qi, and the black and white colors formed a strong contrast.

Immediately afterwards, two blue figures stood in front of Master Zhang, confronting the big bird.

Chen Mu glanced at the big bird, then looked at Yebai beside him, and when he saw him nodding, he turned around and walked towards Master Zhang, helping him up from the ground.

"Master Zhang, don't be too nervous, don't worry, there is Xiaobai here, it's not a big problem. Chen Mu was relieved.

"Ah, two, but are you from the Immortal Gate?" Master Zhang got up with Chen Mu's support and asked.

Thanks to someone around him, these two people had just stopped the big bird that was about to hurt him, and he finally had some confidence.

"Exactly, it was my junior brother who made the move, and the request you sent to the Xiaoyao Immortal Gate in the Ethereal Pavilion was given to you after we received it, so we will naturally come. Chen Mu smiled.

The Ethereal Pavilion was a hub between the monks and the common people, what is now known as the middleman.

If ordinary people encounter some evil spirits and the surrounding immortal sects can't deal with them, they can find the Ethereal Pavilion and ask the Ethereal Pavilion to help contact their favorite immortal sect to help.

And the Ethereal Pavilion can directly use the spirit bird to contact the person in charge of the Xianmen administration, whether the people in the Xianmen agree or not, they will reply to the Ethereal Pavilion through the spirit bird, and the Ethereal Pavilion will notify the person who asks for help.

By charging a fee for those who ask for help, the Ethereal Pavilion will pay some to the Xianmen, but it is not high, it is considered tea money.

The people of ordinary immortal sects themselves have various sources of income, and they will not be inferior to this star.

The reason why they agreed to get rid of the evil is mostly because they want to be famous, and they themselves are only for chivalry.

It's also an interesting place to be, because they charge a fee, and it's based on the property of the person asking for help.

But if an agreement is reached, the person will receive a tenth of the property.

According to Chen Mu's words, this is a profiteer!

Obviously, it doesn't take much effort, at most, it is to find the address of the hundred Xianmen who are willing to participate in the eradication, and if there is an arrangement, they will use the spirit bird to contact, but they have to collect one-tenth of the family's property.

It can be seen that the master of this ethereal pavilion has a black heart and liver.

Master Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, these two people are absolutely extraordinary at first glance, and they will definitely be able to solve this disaster.

When the big bird saw that his attack was blocked, his body trembled, and he was furious, and he waved his wings vigorously and flew towards Yebai.

Yebai's expression did not move, Tao Yao quickly unsheathed, directly met it, and fought with the big bird.

"This immortal, is your junior brother okay?" Old Man Zhang tugged at Chen Mu's sleeve.

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows, "Of course, otherwise you go?"

"Huh? I'll forget it. Master Zhang touched his nose.

Now that Chen Mu is by his side, Master Zhang is also a lot bolder, concentrating on watching Yebai fight with Big Bird.
