There is a saying that you disdain me today, and you can't afford to climb up to me tomorrow.

This sentence is very suitable for Zhang Xiaopaw.

The expressions of the people of the seven major families were wonderful, and their intestines were full of regret. The heart said that there is a great heavenly master, you said it earlier, you said that we can only know, how can we know if you don't say it? You name it, who doesn't hold you up as the most beautiful cub in the audience, how can these unpleasant things happen?

Under the envious gaze of the children of the seven major families, Zhang Xiaopaw and the three of them followed the Tianwu Dao people out of the courtyard.

As soon as the Tianwu Dao people left, the pressure suddenly disappeared, and everyone collapsed on the ground, only to find that in just a short time, their clothes had been soaked in cold sweat.

"Let's all go and heal. Qi Yoyo dropped a sentence and left with a bad mood.

Outside the collapsed courtyard wall, there were two figures standing, Wan Qiuqing and Qi Wuwei.

"Haotian, that kid is good. Qi Wuwei said with a melancholy expression. He has always been very optimistic about Li Haotian, with dignified appearance, excellent qualifications, young and promising, and particularly self-motivated. Although he has become a quasi-son-in-law in his heart, at least it is already the standard for choosing a son-in-law. But after this incident, I am afraid that it is impossible for these two children to be able to do so.

Well, it must not be possible.

He would never agree to his daughter marrying into such an irresponsible family.

Wan Qiuqing snorted coldly and said, "If there are interests mixed in the marriage, happiness will not be guaranteed." Today you are the lord of the city, he treats your daughter like a treasure, and tomorrow you are deposed, he may immediately send your daughter a letter of resignation. ”

Qi Wuwei shook his head and smiled: "In the huge wild goose city, there are so many young and handsome people, in terms of appearance, talent, qualifications, family background, etc., there are all kinds of everything, is there no one you can look at?

"Whoa. Don't be an old face. Wan Qiuqing spat him angrily and said, "It's not that I fell in love, but that your daughter herself fell in love." The old lady wondered, your daughter has always looked at men with her nostrils, why did she look down on such a poor, ugly, and stupid boy?

Qi Wuwei took a sullen breath stuck in his throat, and said in an urn voice: "Speak well, you are not allowed to point at Sang and scold Huai." ”

Looking at Qi Wuwei's depressed appearance, Wan Qiuqing couldn't help but sneer, looking at Qi Yoyo's departing back, and said with a hint of schadenfreude: "The knots between your daughter and the silly boy are not easy to solve, you see that her brows are about to wrinkle together." ”

"Is there a mother like you?" Qi Wuwei said speechlessly.

The sky in the northern eight cities was shrouded in white smoke, and the air was filled with the smell of burning paper and burning incense. In front of every house, there is a thick pile of paper ashes, and incense roots are piled up as high as a hill of incense burners, and the door, lintel, and door frame are all covered with yellow paper charms to ward off evil spirits. Some wealthy families even put charms on the courtyard walls, and some even used cinnabar as paint to paint the entire courtyard walls.

At this time, it had been two hours at night, and the entire North Eight Cities were dead silent. Only occasionally a gust of wind blew, causing smoke to swirl in the air, blowing paper money all over the street. The miserable white moonlight, which was obscured by the thick smoke, finally shone in and shone on the black, white, blue and green paper figures erected on both sides of the street, making the empty street even more eerie and terrifying.

The ghosts of the North Eight Cities are getting more and more fierce, and they have already disturbed the whole city. As soon as night fell, every house was closed, and the lights were not lit or silent, for fear of attracting a terrible ghost who would ask for his life.

People hid in their rooms, shivering, hoping that the paper money and incense outside the courtyard gate would satisfy the ghosts, that the yellow paper charms on the doors and windows would keep the demons and monsters out, and that the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the room would appear to protect them and keep them safe.

However, thousands of people are still killed by the ghosts every night, and many of them are powerful and powerful families, and one is burned

The paper money of the car, lit with the high incense of the tall tree, is the charm written by the famous Taoist master in the city with the best yellow paper and cinnabar, but he still could not escape the ghost asking for his life, and the whole family was killed, which was unbearable.

What makes the people of the North Eight Cities desperate the most is that no one seems to be able to subdue the evil ghosts.

Zhao Gang, the chief catcher in Dongcheng District, and dozens of catchers invited Lao Dao to catch ghosts in the middle of the night, but all of them died at the hands of powerful ghosts.

Zhen Yuanwu, the chief catcher in Xicheng District, patrolled at night and suffered misfortune.

The Special Operations Group did not take the initiative to provoke the ghosts, but they were wiped out by the ghosts overnight.

The super masters sent from above, the strong men of the Special Operations Division, the Buddhist monks, the real people of the Daomen, etc., none of them could survive the night in the North Eight Cities.

Fear and despair enveloped the entire North Eight Cities, and the people under the gloom were about to have a nervous breakdown and could not hold on.

At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, in a small courtyard with two entrances in Dongcheng District, the bedroom located on the east side suddenly lit up, not because the owner got up at night to go to the toilet, but because he had just woken up.

He got up and sat on the edge of the bed, his hands clenched into fists, his arms stretched out to the sides, a big lazy waist, and a comfortable moan came out of his mouth, which showed that he slept very comfortably.

In this tense period when the wind is loud and everyone is in danger, he can still sleep peacefully, light the lamp at night, and do what ordinary people dare not do.

A handsome maid took out a white gown from the closet and dressed it for the young man sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Did a lot of people die last night?" the young man asked in a lazy voice while enjoying the maid's service, not at all afraid that his voice would attract ghosts.

The maid was sleepy-eyed, and she had just woken up shortly after hearing her master's inquiry, her sleepy eyes widened a lot, and her delicate body couldn't help but shiver, and nodded: "It is said that more than 3,000 people were killed by ghosts last night, which is terrible." Fortunately, Gongzi, you have a talisman magic weapon, so that the ghosts dare not approach, otherwise the slaves and maids will have to be like them now, and they will be scared and afraid at night, and they will not even dare to close their eyes. ”

The maid slapped her chest in fear and happiness, turned her head to look at the tea table in the room, and her eyes fell on an old rusty short sword on the tea table, the short sword looked extremely ordinary, she couldn't see anything unusual, but her son-in-law told her that this was a sword that could drive away evil spirits and suppress ghosts, and with it, no demon or monster dared to approach half a step.

The maid has always believed in her son-in-law's words, coupled with the panic in the whole city these days, everyone is in danger, can't eat, can't sleep at night, but her son-in-law eats and sleeps every day, and doesn't take the haunted thing to heart at all, which makes her even more convinced of the old sword that can drive away evil spirits and suppress ghosts. Then I also relaxed and fell asleep.

The young man heard the slapping sound of the maid's chest, his eyes looked conditionally over, and a bright snow white suddenly came into view, and the chest-length placket was closed with the maid's white and tender little hands, although only a small gap was opened, but his height was much taller than the maid, his eyes were condescending, and the spring color hidden in it was just seen at a glance along the small gap.

A stream of heat rushed up in the young man's lower abdomen, and he had the urge to tear open the placket of his unsightly garment, and press this mature and mature man to the bed to pamper him. As soon as this thought was born, it was like a great fire, and it instantly invaded his brain, so that he could not think about anything else, and his eyes shot a fiery light, and he grabbed the maid's chest.

But just as his fingers were about to touch the maid's body, they retracted violently as if they had been stung by a poisonous scorpion. At the same time, a fishy-sweet smell burst in his mouth, the smell of blood, as he bit a bloody hole in the tip of his tongue. It was this heartache that stopped his **.

The young man hurriedly looked away from the maid's chest, who had no idea what was happening, and coughed dryly

Twice, he pretended to be serious and said: "In the future, you are not allowed to wear such revealing clothes again, and cover your body tightly." ”

He didn't understand what had happened to him lately, and why all kinds of ** were getting stronger and stronger. If you want to go to the casino to gamble, if you want to go to the boxing stadium to watch a boxing match, if you want to kill all the people who have an enmity with him, if you want to give the maid to a short life, the thought of a lifetime will be the same as just now, it will be difficult to control.

Although he didn't understand, he knew that this was extremely abnormal, so he had been trying his best to control **, so that his good tongue had been bitten by him.

"Yes. The maid replied with both grievance and shame when she heard this.

The grievance is not because her son-in-law scolded her for wearing less, but because her son-in-law never spoiled her, and seemed to dislike her. The shame was because she had deliberately worn less in the past two days, and she felt that she had been discovered by her son-in-law, so she panicked.

The young man looked at the old short sword on the tea table, smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart: "What a bullshit sword, it's just a piece of rotten iron picked up on the side of the road." ”

The reason why he picked up such a piece of tatters and came back was just to give the maid a reassuring pill and let her live in peace.

In his opinion, it's a day of worrying, and it's a day of eating and sleeping, anyway, as long as the ghost comes to the door, he won't be able to escape, so why not sleep soundly?

"Is there anyone dead near us?" asked the young man.

"Yes!" the maid replied in a low voice, as if she was afraid that the loud voice would attract the ghosts, she said with a panicked expression: "The Wei Yuan's family in the east, the whole family with slaves and guards, there is no one left, all of them were killed by the ghosts." ”

"Wei Wei three can't help but know his family?" the young man couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, and asked in disbelief.

At the same time, his face quickly lost its blood, and infinite fear rose in his heart, because this Wei Yuan's family lived in the sixth house east of his courtyard, which means that last night, the terrible ghost who asked for his life was only a few hundred steps away from their master and servant, and their master and servant didn't hear any movement at all, and they felt scared when they thought about it.

"Yes. The maid nodded in reply.

The young man slowly sat back on the bed, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said with a bitter expression: "Wei Sanpao, this bastard, last time he gambled in the boxing ring, he lost a lot, and he still owes me 50,000 taels and didn't pay it? How can he die so easily?"

He pinched Wei Sanpao when he met on weekdays, wishing that there was no place to bury this guy, but now that this guy is really dead, not only is he not happy at all, but he is empty, and there is an indescribable sense of sadness.

The news that the Wei family was destroyed by the devil spread as soon as possible, and people rushed in to loot like crazy, and the huge family business was looted in just half a day. The maid said.

"It can be imagined. Zhu Zixiao nodded, because the families who were wiped out before this were all looted by the people who came to hear the news as soon as the news came out. What's funny is that the Wei family robbed the Yu family the day before yesterday, I'm afraid they never dreamed that it would be their turn so soon.

Suddenly, a terrible thought popped up in Zhu Zixiao's mind, and then quickly expanded, he looked at the maid suddenly, and asked in a slightly hurried tone: "What about the Hong family in the south of the city?

"Ahh

grunt

Zhu Zixiao swallowed violently, stared at the maid's eyes, and asked word by word: "Tell me, you didn't go to Wei's house with everyone to grab things during the day." ”

The maid was frightened by Zhu Zixiao's eyes, and after hearing Zhu Zixiao's words, her face instantly lost her blood, her two hands grabbed and kneaded together, and her voice trembled and said: "Father-in-law, I'm sorry!

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Zixiao only felt as if a heavenly thunder had struck the heavenly spirit cover.

It's going to die!
