"Missing? What the hell is going on? ”

Zhang Xianling's expression was slightly gloomy, his body sitting on the chair leaned forward slightly, and his eyes stared at the catcher not far away.

Zhu Kuai looked a little nervous and said: "Back to my lord, after the villain went to the Baoshun pawnshop, he saw that the door of the pawnshop had been locked, and the villain asked around, only to know that the owner of the pawnshop had been missing for seven days. ”

Zhang Xu on the side frowned, Baoshun Pawnshop was the place where he pawned the jade pendant, and his impression of that place was quite profound.

"Did you say why you disappeared?" Zhang Xianling asked again.

Caught quickly shook his head and said, "The news of this disappearance is still from the pawnshop, but that guy seems to have run away now." ”

Zhang Xianling stroked the beard scattered on his chest, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that the cause of the incident should be the Blood Lingzhi."

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianling waved his hand, then looked at Zhang Xu and Monk Zhiyin, and said with a smile: "Two immortal masters, thank you for your help these days, when the case is over, the official will reward you, and the next thing will be handed over to the official, and the two immortal masters will rest and recuperate first." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xu and the two glanced at each other, knowing that this was Zhang County's order to close the case.

As a monk, Zhang Xu came here for money, and since he can close the case, it would be the best.

Monk Zhiyin didn't speak, just recited the Buddha's name, and then got up and left.

Seeing this, Zhang Xu also followed the monk Zhiyin and left the county office.

Zhang Xian ordered the rest of the people to be sent away, and then said to his subordinates: "Execute these monsters." ”

Then, he slowly looked at the sky and said softly: "There is still half a year, as long as you survive this half year." ”

Leaving the county office, Zhang Xu came to Monk Zhiyin and said, "Master Zhiyin, do you still want to find the master next?" ”

"Well, but this case is not as simple as it seems, and there may be other hidden secrets in it." Monk Zhiyin said with a worried expression.

Zhang Xu said: "We are just entrusted by others, the so-called do our best, obey the destiny of heaven, and then it depends on how the county order is done." ”

Monk Zhiyin sighed, and then said, "All laws have cause and effect, I hope Master Zhang can think it through." ”

The monk Zhiyin lived in the north of the city, and the two separated, and Zhang Xu returned to the inn.

This time, he made a move for the first time, and he was nervous and worried, but also a little excited.

He underestimated the power of the talisman before, just talking about this demon slaying talisman, its lethality to the monster is very amazing, this is only the basic talisman, if it is an intermediate talisman, or even a high-level talisman, the power is definitely greater.

Next, he needs to make more talismans in case he needs them.

Then, he took out the long knife, attached a talisman to seal the evil qi, and set it aside.

Then he inspected his own talismans, a total of thirty-three talismans, eleven of them were used, and he put the rest away for later needs.

At this time, it was still early, and there was still a lot of hustle and bustle outside the inn, Zhang Xu made up his mind to ask Liu Qing for help tomorrow and buy a quiet courtyard.

As soon as I thought of buying a yard, the person who gave the money came.

Liu Yuanwai is also very honest, this time he personally came to the door and handed Zhang Xu five hundred taels of silver.

"Liu Yuanwai, didn't you say three hundred taels before, why are there two hundred taels more?" Zhang Xu ordered the package in his hand, except for one hundred taels of silver, the rest were silver tickets.

Liu Yuanwai gave a respectful salute, and then said: "Since I experienced this monster, I have been nervous in my heart, if this monster appears again, then Liufu doesn't know if it can withstand it, so I hope that the Taoist can give some talismans, so that I can feel at ease." ”

"It turned out that I wanted to ask for a talisman, but this is no problem."

Zhang Xu took out ten talismans and advised: "These five are talismans, which are used to suppress the evil qi in your house, and these two are demon slaying talismans, as long as you stick them at the door of the house, ordinary monsters will not easily enter, as for the remaining three, they are tranquil talismans, which can calm your mind and calm your mind, you can put it away." ”

Liu Yuanwai was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the talisman and carefully put it away.

"Thank you, Chief." Liu Yuanwai bowed with a smile.

Zhang Xu smiled, and then suddenly thought that this Liu Yuan has a lot of money and a wide range of connections, so he may be able to solve the housing problem for himself.

So he said his plan, and after listening to it, Liu Yuan patted his chest and said: "Hey, Daochang Zhang, please rest assured, although there are not so many houses in Xia except Liufu, I know a lot of big households, if you want, you can introduce them to Daochang." ”

"Yes, then tomorrow, Poor Dao needs a relatively quiet courtyard to facilitate cultivation." Zhang Xu replied.

Liu Yuanwai promised that this little thing was really not a big deal for him, and he could win Zhang Xu's favor, so he naturally would not refuse.

Liu Yuanwai left satisfied, and Zhang Xu was also relieved.

After that, he began his daily practice.

The sun set and sunrise, the day passed quickly, and Liu Yuanwai came to Zhang Xu very early.

This time, Liu Yuanwai introduced three sets of courtyards to Zhang Xu, two of which were in the south and one in the north city.

Under the leadership of the servants of the Liufu, they took a carriage to the three places, and finally Zhang Xu picked a set of courtyards in Nancheng.

"Hehe, the Taoist has good eyesight, this courtyard is the best of the three, there are three bedrooms, a demolition room, a kitchen, the outside yard is also very large, there is a well and a pavilion in the courtyard, and although it is located in a relatively remote place, it is better to be secluded, which is very suitable for monks like the Taoist to live." Liu Yuanwai introduced with a smile.

Zhang Xu stood in the courtyard, looked around, and quietly felt the Yuan Qi around him, and then had some surprises.

The Yuan Qi here is much richer than the one outside, which is of great help to the cultivation.

Zhang Xu felt very satisfied, turned around and asked, "I don't know how much silver is needed?" ”

"Hehe, since the Taoist chief likes it, I'll give it to the Taoist in the next place." Liu Yuanwai said with a smile.

Zhang Xu frowned and said: "The so-called reactive power is not rewarded, let's talk about the price of this yard." ”

For cultivators, the most important thing is cause and effect, and Zhang Xu will not accept the so-called "kindness" of others at will.

Liu Yuanwai looked at Zhang Xu's serious expression, pursed his lips, sighed slightly, and then said: "Since the Taoist chief is so insistent, it is not good to say anything in the next, if the Taoist chief can afford to be in the bottom, give fifty taels of silver." ”

"Fifty taels." Zhang Xu pondered for a moment and roughly estimated the price, this price may be cheaper, but it is not much different from the price in his heart.

After receiving the silver ticket, a smile appeared on Liu Yuanwai's face again, and said: "If the Taoist chief does not dislike it, I can let my subordinates accompany the Taoist to buy daily necessities, multiple people, multiple helpers." ”

Zhang Xu did not refuse again this time, and by the time all the daily necessities were placed, the sky had already darkened.

Liu Yuanwai also said goodbye to Zhang Xu, and before parting, Zhang Xu took out three talismans, which were counted as a thank you gift for Liu Yuanwai to help him.

After bidding farewell to Liu Yuanwai, Zhang Xu came to the pavilion in the courtyard and sat down, and couldn't wait to start practicing.

After just a few breaths, Zhang Xu felt that the Yuan Qi around him was like a torrent, frantically surging towards his acupoint.

For a while, Zhang Xu even felt some swelling pain in his muscles and veins.

"This Yuan Qi is also too thick, if I continue to practice at this rate, I don't think it will take me more than a month to complete the Xiao Zhou Tian cycle."

Zhang Xu was very excited in his heart, this is simply a dozing pillow, what he needs most now is strength, only when his strength is improved, it is possible to deal with the blood ape in the bronze mirror.

However, while he was practicing, a green snake slowly crawled into the courtyard from outside the wall and crawled towards Zhang Xu silently.
