"And after that?"

After a moment of silence, Gu Ming couldn't help but take the initiative to ask the flower girl.

The flower girl sighed faintly: "At that time, our sisters would rather die than give in. After our struggle, the despicable old fellow finally backed down and agreed to let us run Peach Blossom House on our own.

The current rules of the village were also formulated by our sisters after discussion.

Although we are humiliated by this encounter, there is no way to retreat, and we should enter the world to experience it......"

"The old man you are talking about, he asked you to do this just to make money? No other purpose? ”

Gu Ming asked with some confusion.

The flower girl shook her head and smiled bitterly: "This little woman can't say clearly...... However, the old guy was very obsessed with alchemy, trying in vain to refine the legendary elixir.

And alchemy is quite expensive, and it requires the purchase of a large number of elixirs. ”

"I see!"

Gu Ming nodded thoughtfully.

Although he doesn't know how to do alchemy, he has heard a lot of rumors about it.

Alchemy is indeed a cost-consuming job, and it is said that some rare elixirs cost thousands of taels just to refine them.

However, alchemy has been quite chaotic since ancient times, and it can be said that it is a mixture of fish and dragons.

There are elixirs that are hard to find, as well as so-called "elixirs" that can be bought for dozens of dollars, and even poison pills that kill people.

The original intention of the Taoist alchemy was to cultivate and pursue the path of immortality.

But then it became chaotic.

This may also be determined by the market, those emperors, including some rich and powerful elites, always want to live forever.

As a result, a large number of alchemists have been derived, who have been studying the so-called elixir all day long.

In fact, most of them belong to the gods...... How could a mortal be able to refine an elixir?

The flower girl said in a sad tone: "So, please also ask the son to be considerate of the difficulties of the little girl and her sisters...... Running this village is not what we want, who wants to be forced to deal with different men all day long? ”

Gu Ming said with a solemn face: "What if I can help you?" ”

Hua Girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she was surprised: "Childe is really willing to help us?" ”

"Yes, I can help you get out of the fire pit if you want to."

"But ......"

After receiving Gu Ming's affirmative response, the flower girl hesitated again.

Although she is a demon, she also knows that there is no love in the world for no reason...... So he asked: "I don't know if the son has any conditions?" Let's hear it. ”

"What? Do you really want this son to put forward some conditions? Gu Ming couldn't help but smile and said.

"That's not what the little woman meant, it's just ......"

Hua Guzi bit her lip, lowered her head and groaned for a while, then raised her head and said with a resolute face: "If Gongzi can really save our sisters from fire and water, the little girl is willing to serve Gongzi's side, and she will never complain about being a slave and a maid." ”

It seems that there are many such talented maids around you, which is also very good?

The thoughts in Gu Ming's mind flashed by.

Of course, it's just a matter of thinking, he can't do such a thing to take advantage of others.

What is the difference between that and the evil people who control them?

The girl said seriously, this son just accidentally discovered the secret of this village, and only came to the door to find out if he was curious.

Now that we know what happened, we can't stand by and let that evil man do such nonsense. ”

Hearing this, Sister Hua couldn't help but tears in her eyes, and bowed respectfully to Gu Ming: "The little girl is very grateful to the son for his great kindness, and I also thank you for the sisters." ”

"Girls don't have to be polite! Now, first of all, tell me about the evil man. ”

"Yes~"

The flower girl answered, and began to talk in detail about the situation of the evil man.

……

The next morning, Gu Ming first accompanied Tang Bohu and others back to Gusu Mansion, and invited a group of people to lunch.

After eating and chatting for a while, he made an excuse that he was going out of town to visit a friend, and he would meet again when he returned.

After that, he left Gusu Mansion and headed towards the north of the city.

According to Hua Guzi, the evil Taoist who controls their sisters calls himself Dan Lingzi, and lives in the Chenjiawan area, and she does not know the exact location.

As for its strength...... The mana is not very profound, but he is good at all kinds of spells.

For example, formations, forbidden spells, spells, and so on.

It is precisely with these spells that he can successfully catch the flower girl and the flower demons, and control them to work for it.

In the afternoon, we arrived at Chenjiawan smoothly.

This place is a small mountain town, although the terrain is a little remote, but there are many local people, but it also seems a little lively.

Gu Ming found a tavern to sit down first, and drinking was second, mainly to find out the news.

As a result, as soon as the wine and food were served, I heard several drinkers mention Dan Lingzi's name.

"Have you heard? Sanye Chen's house was haunted and almost scared Mrs. Chen to death. ”

"I've heard about it for a long time......"

"Fortunately, Chen Sanye invited Dan Lingzi Dao Chang to open the altar in time, and then the evil ghost was collected."

"Speaking of which, we are fortunate to have the Spirit Pill Dao Chief in our town......"

Hearing the discussion of the drinkers, Gu Ming couldn't help frowning.

It sounds like this Dan Lingzi seems to be quite loved by the people, and what Hua Guzi said is completely different from what Hua Guzi said, could it be that it is not the same person?

But a small Chen Jiawan won't have two Dan Lingzi, right?

That's a bit weird.

Gu Ming remained silent and continued to listen to the conversation of several drinkers.

After drinking, Gu Ming asked the guy about Dan Lingzi's address, and then followed the guidance to leave the town, walked about five or six miles in the northwest direction, and finally found a small lonely courtyard in a small valley.

The style of the courtyard is a bit like a Taoist temple, and it seems to be the residence of Dan Lingzi.

So, Gu Ming quietly walked around to the back of the courtyard...... The breeze blows on the face, sending a faint medicinal fragrance.

In order to prevent the other party from discovering it, Gu Ming did not recklessly climb the courtyard wall to visit, but used his skills to discern everything.

The magic of this skill lies in the fact that others can't see, and what others can't hear, which is somewhat similar to the divine sense of a master of cultivation, even if you close your eyes, you can sense the surrounding environment and movement, so that demons and ghosts have nothing to hide.

However, due to the skill level, the current maximum distance is about thirty meters, but it is enough to explore this small courtyard.

After this investigation, Gu Ming was glad that he did not rush in, there were obviously traps in the courtyard, and there were people in the courtyard.

Judging from the momentum of the breath, it is the target person.

At the same moment, Dan Lingzi, who was alchemy in the courtyard, seemed to feel something, and couldn't help frowning lightly and looking around...... Nothing out of the ordinary.

"Strange, is it a delusion?"

This old man is barely a cultivator, so he has a certain sense of divine consciousness.

However, although the skill Gu Ming used was similar to divine consciousness, it was not divine consciousness, so Dan Lingzi had no way of perceiving it at all, it was just an intuition in his heart.

In addition, alchemy should not be distracted, so I no longer doubt it and continue to concentrate on alchemy.

Although it was separated by the courtyard wall, the situation in the courtyard was reflected in Gu Ming's mind like a projection, including some existences that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Soon, Gu Ming noticed that there were a few small jars in one of the rooms that were unusual.

There are talismans attached to the jar, and there is a faint leakage of yin qi.

So, Gu Ming condensed his spirit at one point and went all out to visit one of the jars.

As a result, it was discovered that this was a magic weapon that looked like a small jar, and there was another cave inside, and a male ghost was sealed.

But to say that the seal is not quite like it, that ghost does not have the pain of being sealed at all, but is very leisurely.

Looking at another jar, it's pretty much the same thing.

This made Gu Ming can't help but have a suspicion and association: Could it be that these ghosts were raised by Dan Lingzi?

I remember watching Mr. Zombie in my previous life, there was a Jianghu Taoist named Maoshan Ming who secretly raised ghosts, and then let the ghosts go to the people, and then he came forward to catch ghosts in order to make money from it.

Could it be that this Dan Lingzi is also raising ghosts and harming people?

If that's the case, then this guy is simply too vicious.

directing the trick of catching ghosts and releasing ghosts, making money and fame, is really a good calculation.

Of course, this is just speculation.

In order to confirm his speculation, Gu Ming decided to wait and see what abnormal behavior this old guy would have next.

Then it was dark and dark.

Dan Lingzi finally stopped alchemy, walked into the house and began to drink.

After drinking for a while, he got up and walked to the room where the small jars were kept, and uncovered the talismans one by one.

There were four jars in total, and as soon as the Dao talisman was opened, four wisps of light smoke came out of it, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into three men and one woman.

"I've seen the Taoist!"

"Well, you guys can have a few drinks with me, too."

"Yes!"

The four ghosts responded in unison, and then laughed and drank happily as Dan Lingzi walked to the table.

The female ghost was even more flattering, and even sat on Dan Lingzi's lap with a wine glass to feed him.

After feeding a few cups, it was not enjoyable, so I simply drank it into Sakura's mouth first, and then fed it mouth-to-mouth...... I was so envious that the three male ghosts were red-eyed.

Dan Lingzi was also not polite, and drank while going up and down......

"Dao Chief, it's better to let the slave family go out tonight and breathe this yang qi back, so that Dao Chang can have more fun......

"Hahaha, okay, yes. However, don't make trouble for people's lives, so as not to cause extraneous branches and be targeted by other masters. ”

"Yes, the slave family has a measured ......"

"And the three of you, you have to pay more attention in the future, it doesn't matter how you play, as long as you don't cause death.

As soon as someone dies, it is easy to be targeted by the government or other high-ranking people......"

"Obey the instructions of the Taoist."

These scenes all passed through Gu Ming's mind one by one like a movie.

In this way, I finally understood what kind of virtue this so-called master is.

Be punished!

However, if you break in directly, it will be easy to suffer, after all, there are organs in this courtyard, and the best way is to lure the old guy out.

So, Gu Ming ran around and found some dead branches to put next to the wall against the side of the house, and lit them.

As soon as the flames were together, they shouted softly: "The wind is coming!" ”

Suddenly, the wind fueled the fire, and thick smoke billowed out.

"Not good!"

In the room, Dan Lingzi's face was startled and he hurriedly ran out.

"Why did it suddenly catch fire?"

The four ghosts also floated out, looking puzzled.

"What are you still doing? Fire suppression! ”

"Yes!"

The four ghosts responded, and they split up and floated into the air to spit out wisps of cold mist. Under the suppression of their cold aura, the fire was quickly brought under control.

Outside the wall, Gu Ming frowned, his eyes drifting to a nearby stream......

Since the fire attack is not good, then it is better to flood.

Anyway, force the old guy out of the yard.

So he no longer hid his breath, and his mind moved, and he took out a brush and shouted: "Water!" ”

"Wow~"

The stream was agitated, and a column of water as thick as a bucket immediately flew to the top of the courtyard with the stroke of the pen.

Not enough!

"Good is like water~"

"You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky!"

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

This time the movement was even greater, as if the stream had been cut off, and a large wave of water rose up in the sky, gushing like a flash torrent......
