Chapter 5, Zhang Yuanwai
"Zhou Zheng, five taels of silver."
"Chen Tiancheng, five taels of silver."
"Wang Er, ten taels of silver, one Huoyang Dan."
“……”
"Jiang Chen, twenty taels of silver, five Huoyang Dan."
"I'll rub it, Jiang boy, you are developed, twenty taels, how many meals of flower wine can you drink in a row." Wang Er's eyes lit up.
Zhou Zhan, the head of the patrol, read one name after another in his mouth, the reward of the county commander has finally come down, and this time, Jiang Chen is the one with the most abundant reward.
After all, he is the one who faces the spider spirit directly, and he is facing great danger, if the pure yang skill can't reach the realm of the first glimpse of the door, I'm afraid he will die.
"Jiang Chen should be the first merit."
"It's been a hard time for everyone."
"But remember not to take it lightly, fortunately, that spider spirit is just a goblin who does not enter the stream, and he can't cultivate to his home, otherwise, you will all be wiped out."
Jiang Chen also looked happy, his eyes were excited, twenty taels! His monthly salary was only one tael of silver, and these twenty taels were his eight months of income in a year.
killed a spider spirit, and he got twenty taels, as you can imagine, the horror of the goblin, this is the money he exchanged for his life.
There are also five Fire Yang Pills, which can accelerate the cultivation progress of Pure Yang Gong.
"Heixiong, the boss of Qunfanglou, has already received the news and disappeared for a while, and the owner of the spider spirit is very likely to be this Heixiong."
Jiang Chen learned from the patrol leader that as early as three days ago, when the spider spirit died, Hei Xiong quietly left with all his money.
This guy is by no means good, and if he spoils his good deeds, the black bear must have a grudge against himself.
"Boss, is it possible that the black male is also a goblin?" This is a point that Jiang Chen cares about.
"Whether it is possible or not, everyone must always be vigilant in the near future."
"Recently, the county has not been quiet, and everyone has also raised their spirits." Zhou Zhan seemed to know something, but he was so taboo that he didn't say it carefully.
Everyone nodded their heads, their lives were at stake, and everyone was cautious.
Jiang Chen was secretly vigilant, besides, there was a figure of the Black Tiger Gang behind Heixiong, everything had to be cautious.
"Something has happened to Zhang Yuanwai's family recently, you two go and take a look, if you can't solve it, report it immediately." Zhou Zhan pointed at Jiang Chen and Wang Erlian and spoke.
"Yes, sir."
……
"Lao Wang, what happened to Zhang Yuanwai?" Jiang Chen changed into black clothes and rode a horse.
"I heard that some strange things have happened to Zhang Yuanwai's house recently." Lao Wang changed his past obscenity and spoke a little solemnly.
"The carcasses of some animals appeared one after another, chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, but the blood of these animals disappeared, as if they had been sucked up by something."
"Is it another goblin mess?" Jiang Chen's heart moved.
"No matter what, in short, this matter is a bit evil, we have to act carefully."
"The people of Zhang Yuanwai's family are panicking, and many people are clamoring to leave."
"We've got to get this out of here."
Zhang Yuanwai is a big family on the rich side, and most of the big families are generous, in addition to the cost of handing over to the yamen to do things, the thank you gifts after the work are often rich, enough to make a small profit for them.
The two of them hurriedly, and soon a huge mansion appeared in front of them.
The black gate is hung with two white lanterns, and the lanterns also have a large inscription on them, which means that someone in this mansion has died and is mourning.
The white partition wall is full of ancient charm, and among the green trees, there are neat tiled houses one after another.
In the light, it shines.
As soon as he approached, he was greeted by an old man who was over half a hundred years old and dressed in gorgeous clothes.
"Lord Patrol, I've finally looked forward to you." The old man's face was excited, as if he saw hope.
The wrinkles on his face were as dry and rough as tree bark, and his cloudy eyes showed a glimmer of light from time to time.
As early as on the way here, Wang Er informed Jiang Chen of most of the situation, and this person was Li Ping, Zhang Yuanwai's housekeeper, who was responsible for managing everything at home.
After the two quickly dismounted, two servants respectfully took the horse rope in their hands.
"Steward Li." Jiang Chen also followed Wang Er with a fist in return.
"Two adults, please." Li Ping said respectfully, and led the two into the courtyard on the side.
As soon as you enter the gate, a blue brick and stone road in the middle leads to the hall, and the hall door is four black doors, and the middle two doors are slightly open.
A white curtain can be seen inside, and in the middle of the hall, there is a black coffin made of precious wood.
The coffin is carved with delicate patterns and is one meter above the ground.
"Is that Mrs. Zhang's coffin?" Jiang Chen's eyes froze, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, when his eyes looked at the coffin, a chill involuntarily appeared in his body, and the pure yang gong operated on its own, and the chill disappeared in an instant.
"Definitely not a delusion!" At noon, Jiang Chen secretly left his eyes.
Along the way, the two of them could see that between the courtyards, there were guard families with swords everywhere, these people were all thick and round-shouldered, and they were strong, and they knew that they were not easy to mess with at a glance.
"The trouble of this outsider doesn't seem to be simple..."Jiang Chen pondered.
Steward Li and the two of them quickly walked through the spacious corridor, and there were pavilions and pavilions everywhere, small bridges and flowing water, which were scattered.
The crowd came to the meeting room.
Zhang Yuanwai is a middle-aged man with a somewhat obese body with small eyes and a shrewd look.
But his eye sockets were black, his expression was haggard, and he looked like he had been tortured a lot.
"With the arrival of the lord of the Yamen, coupled with the pure and void view of the chief of the forest, this strange matter will definitely be solved." Zhang Yuanwai greeted Jiang Chen and the others, sat down in front of the hall, instructed his subordinates to pour tea and water, and then sighed.
Jiang Chen noticed that there were two Taoist priests wearing yellow robes in front of the hall, one old and one young.
The eldest one was in his forties, with a long beard, squinting eyes, and carrying a peachwood sword, and the old Taoist priest saw Jiang Chen and the two come in, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen twice.
"This kid has so much yang energy."
"Seeing that his aura is just an ordinary person, such an ordinary person with strong yang energy is easy to provoke ghosts and evil ......"
The old Taoist priest could see Jiang Chen's difference at a glance.
The other little Taoist priest is the same age as Jiang Chen, with no white beard, delicate skin, some baby fat, looks good-looking, yes, it is good-looking, this is Jiang Chen's first thought.
The little Taoist stared at Jiang Chen and the others, and his eyes also showed curiosity.
This Zhang not only invited people from the yamen, but also invited two Taoist priests, and it seems that the problems in the house have been bothering him for a long time.
"Let's talk about the specifics first." Wang Er smiled.
"Alas......" Zhang Yuanwai sighed and said, "My ancestors of the Zhang family are all families who accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and I don't know why they encountered such strange things. ”
"Just three days ago, the corpses of wild cats began to appear in the house, which was extremely terrifying, and some people in the house also found that the fresh chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep purchased back were turned into shriveled corpses the next day."
"It's been like this for a few days in a row, these days the family maids in the house are panicked and have no intention of doing things, Dao Chief, young heroes, you must help the old man, if it continues, my Zhang family may not be at peace."
"In the past few days, the old man has not eaten well, he can't sleep well, his mind is full of this matter, and the business can't continue to be done, you must help me, the old man will be grateful." Zhang Yuanwai had a sad face.
"Zhang Yuanwai, rest assured, there is an old Taoist here, and I will definitely help you settle this matter." As soon as the chief heard the heavy thanks, he instantly opened his eyes and swore to speak.
"The old man acted first, thank you for the aisle!" Zhang Yuanwai hurriedly thanked.
"Has anything happened in the house recently?" Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and asked.
Most demons like to suck the essence and blood of people, and they are not interested in the blood of chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, which may not be the work of demons.
But this possibility is not ruled out!
Zhang Yuanwai shook his head and said: "Since nothing has happened, if you have to say that there is, it is also the end of Jiaci's life." ”
Thinking of it, Jiang Chen had some kind of guess in his heart, sucking human blood, and happened to meet Mrs. Zhang who had just died, and the coffin was still in the house.
"Is it a zombie?" Jiang Chen was secretly vigilant, zombies were not like goblins.
Zombies are inhumane, lose their minds, and gather resentment because they don't look at death, and the yin qi is too heavy and then the corpse is a monster.
It is said that in addition to absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon to nourish the body, zombies can also suck blood from people like Western vampires.
Blood is the food of zombies, Jiang Chen has watched a lot of zombie movies in his previous life, and bloodsucking is almost a necessary plot in the film.
