Yin time.

It is the turn of day and night before dawn.

When Jin An and the abbot of Bailong Temple returned to Fucheng, it was already the end of the day.

There is only one hour left until sunrise and dawn.

The Taoist priest Yuanshen and the old monk Faxiang chatted about Wang Long along the way, and now there is still an hour before dawn, and the time is still early.

At the gate of the White Dragon Temple, after bidding farewell to the host, Jin An continued to return to the Five Organs Taoist Temple.

When passing by Jia's house, the lively banquet of the Jia family continued, and Jin An was surprised, this Jia family actually held a flowing water banquet all night.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being a big Jia family.

Jin An paid attention to the meeting, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal in the Jia family, his eyes were groaning, and his spirit floated away.

Wow oh oh -

At this time, in the city, there has been a rooster crow from time to time, the rooster is the ancient vermilion bird in mythology, and the rooster crow means that it is almost dawn.

Because of this, there are rumors among the people that the crowing of the rooster can ward off evil spirits and scare away the ghostly charm.

Jin An has the Yang God Yellow Fu to protect the Divine Soul Dao, so he can still wander outside with his Divine Soul now, and he is not afraid of the crowing of the rooster.

And as the rooster crowed, the early people in the city began another busy day.

The sound of the scholar reading aloud......

The proprietress of the tofu shop opened the door to sell tofu......

The owner of the wonton stall carried a burden and began to walk the streets and alleys to sell wontons with bamboo sticks......

The fishermen at the mouth of the river began another day of fishing and casting their nets......

The dock porters, whose business has plummeted, come to the docks with half-full stomachs to look for work......

All the worlds are drawn in front of this sunrise picture.

"Drink!"

When Jin An's spirit floated to the vicinity of a large family, he heard the sound of two people fighting, mixed with the sound of women practicing martial arts.

Jin An looked up curiously and looked in the direction where the sound of martial arts came from, and the direction came from that big family.

"Jiangfu?"

"I remember that there was one of the largest chambers of commerce in Fucheng, surnamed Jianglai, which controlled most of the merchant ships, trade, and shipyards in Fucheng. ”

"This mansion is so well built, just the two stone carvings in front of the door are one story high, and it is difficult to find a more domineering mansion than this Jiang family throughout the city, even the He Mansion, Xue Mansion, and Jia Mansion are a little less meaningful. It seems that this Jiang Mansion should be the Jiang family of the largest chamber of commerce in the city. ”

According to what Jin An usually hears about the Jiang family, the Jiang family seems to have developed in the past ten years or so.

From a small wealthy businessman, it only took more than ten years to annex large and small ship merchants, ship gangs, docks, shipyards, dock gangs... Expand into the largest chamber of commerce in the city.

And this Jiang family seems to be more than satisfied with the business of a Wuzhou Mansion, as the business is getting bigger and bigger, in recent years, there are rumors that the Jiang family's fleet has begun to develop towards sea navigation, and has been working hard to find a golden waterway.

If the Jiang family is really allowed to find the golden waterway, after another ten years, the Jiang family will be able to develop into a rich country.

In fact, this is not alarmist at all.

Merchant ships are as vast as a grain of dust and sand on the endless ocean, as far as the eye can see, as if they are thousands of miles away.

Without a safe shipping lane, merchant ships would either capsize in the ever-changing storms of the sea, or they would be lost in the oceans and would not have been able to meet a single ship for more than a decade.

But the most terrible thing is that people have died of thirst at sea before they can carry it for a few days.

In the boundless ocean, in addition to getting lost, reefs, storms, and waves, the most feared encounter is not being able to find the island in time to replenish fresh water on the way.

Therefore, if anyone masters a safe golden shipping route, who can accumulate wealth that rivals the wealth of the country, the vast ocean of this world, people live in a corner, the major continents are divided by the boundless ocean, this world will be the world of golden shipping after all.

Not to mention anything else, just the inland river is a month and two months of travel, if you change to maritime merchants, you may be able to reach it in half a month under the tailwind.

Moreover, seagoing ships can be built larger, with a deeper draft, and can carry more than several times more cargo than inland ships at one time.

The two trade-off.

The gap is getting wider and wider, and maritime merchants have bigger fleets and build bigger ships.

It is not surprising that in the future it will occupy a large island and set himself up as king.

For details, you can refer to Kezi, Siam, Sin Chew, Luzon and so on.

Jin An quickly found the direction where the sound of the competition came from in Nuo Dajiang's house, mainly because the other party was too obvious under the night sky, his body was as strong as a furnace, and his blood was strong, and in the eyes of the soul, it was as if he saw a flame burning.

It was a clean-looking woman of about eighteen or nineteen years old.

This girl doesn't look young, just like a little female leopard, with a strong personality and a fierce personality, she is competing with people in an open space in the martial arts hall.

The two fought fiercely.

The blood on the bodies of a man and a woman is burning like a ball of fire, and ordinary Xiao Xiaoxiao is afraid that if they can't get close, the two of them will be forced to death by masculine blood.

The man who competed with the little female leopard was an old man in his fifties and sixties.

His palms are red like a red-hot soldering iron, and he seems to be a master of kung fu in the palm of his hand.

"Such a strong qi and blood, these two are among the first-class masters, especially the woman, who is still so young, and another generation of geniuses has risen. If you can grow up safely and don't die early, you will be a rookie martial arts star in the martial arts world. ”

"It's a pity that this competition was doomed from the beginning, the old man was afraid of being young and strong, even though the old man was also a first-class master, but he was old and weak, and his blood was insufficient, which doomed him to defeat at the beginning. ”

Burst!

As soon as Jin An's thoughts fell, sure enough, the old man knew that his physical strength was insufficient, and he was anxious to seek merit, and was deliberately sold by the woman to a flaw behind him, the person did not react enough, and was continuously pursued by the other party, his body fell backwards again and again, his breath was disordered, and the last intimate palm was slammed on the old man's chest.

The old man immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Lost the ability to fight.

Jin An thought that this competition was over, but after the old man lost his ability to resist, the woman did not stop and continued to make a dead hand.

Her ears pierced with the wind, and her fists were wrapped in the power of the tiger's pounce, slapping heavily on the old man's temple.

"Poof!"

The old man spurted blood from his mouth again, his face was red, and his eyes were bloodshot and he fell to the ground.

His cerebral blood vessels were blown up by women.

When the woman killed the old man mercilessly, immediately someone from the Jiang family handed the woman a handkerchief to wipe the blood on her hands.

Jin An frowned.

This woman is a little ruthless.

However, before understanding the actual situation, Jin An could not easily criticize the Jiang family's woman's rights and wrongs, if the old man was an assassin who broke into the Jiang family at night, it would be understandable for the Jiang family to kill the other party.

Next, the Jiang family nursing home began to come forward to clean up the bloodstains and corpses.

Looking at the actions of the Jiang family's nurses skillfully cleaning up the corpses, it seemed that they had become accustomed to this situation, and they had cleaned up the corpses for their own young lady in the Yanwu Hall more than once......

Jin An's original frowning brows furrowed even tighter.

Then his spirit drifted away.

Return to the Five Organs Taoist Temple.

Not long after Jin An left, he didn't see that in a small dark courtyard of the Jiang family's mansion, the door opened from the inside, and a trembling old man came out.

The old man was wearing a yin and yang robe, and his face and hands were covered with blue-gray old age spots, and the old age spots were so dense that they looked like a corpse that had been dead for a long time and was covered with corpse spots.

The breath on his body was gloomy and gloomy.

With the gloomy smell of the coffin.

After he walked out of the house, he looked up and glanced in a certain direction above the Jiang family.

That direction of the void was the direction where Jin An's divine soul was just now.

At this time, there were people who had been outside the house since then, and when they saw the old man walking out of the house, they hurriedly stepped forward to help him respectfully.

The next person is about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he is the healthiest and most vigorous teenager with the healthiest qi and blood, and he has fine skin and tender meat, and his eyebrows are clear and beautiful.

The old man was too old.

He is so old that he has difficulty even walking, and he needs someone to help him.

He has reached the age of running out of oil and lamps, and he looks much older than his ninety.

And just as the old man walked out of the house, and the man stood under the eaves, part of his body happened to be illuminated by the moonlight above his head, and then a strange scene happened.

The palm of the old man's exposed sleeve, which was densely packed, large and small blue-gray old age spots, underwent a treacherous transformation in the moonlight, and the old age spots quickly turned into corpse spots.

The body temperature is getting colder.

The yin qi on the body is getting heavier and heavier.

Even the skin began to turn to the grayish white of the dead, and the blood and qi were rapidly decaying.

The earth has the air of filthy earth, and the moon above the head has a moon cloud.

The dead are most taboo to occupy the land with two feet, and the corpse shines to the moonlight, so when the people deal with the corpse of the dead, they prevent the corpse from falling to the ground with two feet and shining to the moon, so as to prevent the corpse from being cheated.

The situation of the old man in the yin and yang robe in front of him is like a virtue of cheating the corpse.

The old man noticed the change in his palm, he quietly covered his palm with his sleeve, and then looked at the young man who was waiting at the door, came over to support him, and showed a kind and kind smile: "Young man, what is your name?

The young man hurriedly bowed his head and replied: "My name is Yuan Yan, I am a descendant who has just entered the Jiang family, and the housekeeper said that you like young people and young people are energetic, so I ordered me to serve you." ”

The young man moved his nose as he spoke, as if he had smelled something strange in the old man.

But he was a subordinate.

At this time, I didn't dare to look up at all.

I'm afraid of bumping into the old man in front of me

The old man still smiled kindly and said, "Yes, yes, old man, I like young people who are full of vitality the most." ”

"With young people, it seems like I feel much younger. ”

"As long as you can serve by the master's side, this is Yuan Yan's blessing. The housekeeper said that you are very talkative, as long as you serve you well, Yuan Yan will soon be able to buy medicine for her mother. The young man plucked up his courage and said.

When the old man heard this, the smile on his face became even kinder.

The young man who had been bowing his head to answer didn't notice that the old age spots on the old man's face at this moment were gradually turning into corpse spots under the moonlight, spreading rapidly.

"I didn't expect to be a filial son, I was really moved by the old man. Old man, I like young people and dutiful sons the most in my life. ”

"Yuan Yan, apart from your sick old mother, do you have any other relatives at home?"

The old man who ran out of oil and the lamp was dead.

And following the old man who was covered with age spots, he saw that the light in his room was dark, and he couldn't see the other layouts in the house clearly, only a black-painted ironwood coffin.

But at this time the black coffin opened.

"I'm just a relative of my mother. The young man replied respectfully.

"It's good to be young......"

"Fine-skinned and tender meat ......"

"It's really enviable and nostalgic......"

"Yuan Yan, I'm a little tired, help me back to the house. ”

The young man said respectfully: "Okay, master." ”

When the young man helped the old man in the yin and yang robe back to the house, bang, the door closed, and the room fell into darkness.

It's like some monster is gobbling up flesh.

There was a smell of blood in the moon.

The sound of flesh and bones chewing lasted for about a long time, and in the originally dark room, the lights and candles lit up, and then the door opened from the inside, and an old man in a yin and yang robe came out.

The old man in the yin and yang robe still had undried blood stains on his clothes and the corners of his mouth, but the corpse spots on his face, hands, and the skin surface on his body had already receded, and even the old age spots had receded a lot, as if he was a few years younger, and even his legs and feet were sharper.

This time he went out, no longer like the oil that needed to be supported before.

Even the body temperature has warmed up a lot.

Vigorous blood and energy.

When the old man in the yin-yang robe came out this time, a young man was already standing in the courtyard outside the door.

"Sir, why did you wake up from your slumber early, didn't you say you wouldn't wake up until the passage opened?"

The young man asked respectfully.

At this time, the old man in the yin and yang robe who had recovered his vigor and blood, even if he stood under the moon shade, the old age spots on his body no longer turned into corpse spots, he stood in the courtyard like a normal person, looking up at the moon: "I sensed that the passage was about to open, so I came out in advance to move the body bones that slept stiffly, so as not to sleep in the coffin all the time, and the body was stiff." In the days when I was asleep, did anything happen in the city?"

"In the days when Mr. was asleep, there were indeed several major events in Fucheng, one was that the Yinyi River was cut off, and hundreds of people died in the government; the second was the Dragon King case; the third was the civil strife in the White Dragon Temple; the fourth was that the Jia family fell into the water and drowned and was captured by the Dragon King to be the lady of the water god, and came back, last night the Jia family held a banquet all night, sir, you must save me, that stinky girl must come ashore to kill me. ”

The young man asked the old man in the yin and yang robe for help.

This person is the nephew of Zongren who killed his uncle and nephew and snatched the fragments of Luo Geng's jade plate!

Unexpectedly, after he came back that night, he mixed into Jiang's house.

"Oh, she drowned in the Yinyi River, and was captured by the Dragon King to be the water goddess Niangniang, she was resentful, and the three souls and seven spirits were all in this Yinyi River, how did she get ashore?"

Zong Ren said in a panic: "Someone must have gone into the water to fish for the corpse and carried this stinky girl!"

"I didn't take her ashore that night, because I looked back behind me before I went ashore, and I found it early, and I scuttled the boat, and she sank it into the river on the shore with her, and no one knew where she sank with the boat without me telling her the exact location. But just yesterday, the Jia family gave her a big feast! She went ashore yesterday! I don't know who salvaged her ashore, she is a dead person, only a living person can scoop her up if he goes into the water to fish for corpses, and the person who fishes the corpses ashore, he doesn't know how terrible the water god Niangniang is, and many people will die in this city!"

"Sir, I dedicated Luo Geng's jade plate to you, you must save me this time!"

The old man in the yin and yang robe groaned with a deep face: "Tomorrow, I will personally visit Jia's house to see what the situation is." ”

After the old man finished saying this, he no longer cared about Zongren, but turned his head to look in the direction of the gate of the courtyard: "Eighth Miss is here." ”

"Master. ”

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman walked in from outside the courtyard, clasping her fists at the old man and saluting.

It was the ruthless Miss Jiang family.
