Panda Inn, in the upper class rooms.

The coachman respectfully said: "Two gentlemen, the outside patrol is tight, and the focus is on interrogating the traveling merchants from Ningzhou, I am afraid that the yamen has received the news." ”

Song Qingzhou smiled: "This Tanhualang is not a stupid person, he is in the limelight now, and he must have thought of provoking the general's revenge." ”

Zhou Qingshan groaned: "Your and my identities have been disguised and can withstand inspection. ”

Song Qingzhou shook his head: "It's not appropriate to live in this inn, let's change places as soon as possible." ”

The coachman hurriedly said: "The two gentlemen don't have to worry, there are good places in the city, they are all very safe, you can go and live immediately." ”

In the past, Steward Yang took people to Panzhou to stay for a while, and Yang Linhe's side had some ideas about Panzhou, so he arranged people to operate here in advance. That night, Steward Yang bumped into Chen Tang and was killed by the Yin ghost when he fled for his life, and he died in a daze. However, the stronghold in the state capital is still there, and it is taken care of every day.

When Zhou Qingshan and the others first entered Panzhou, they wanted to settle down in the inn first, and find out some news by the way. Now that they heard that there was a guard in the city, they did not want to stay here any longer. After all, when it comes to investigation, places like inns and taverns are the first to bear the brunt, and they are the easiest to attract the attention of the government. Although the identity is well disguised, there is always a risk in the face of the soldiers.

Soon, they cleaned up, left the room, and got into the carriage.

The wheels are on wheels, driving through several streets, turning a side road, and finally stopping at the end of a laneway.

It is a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, located in the southwest corner of the state capital, tucked away in a large residential area.

It's a safe place. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the yamen to search house to house, which will cause trouble in the city and make chickens and dogs restless. At present, it is not easy for Panzhou to settle down, and if it makes trouble again, the impact will be bad.

After connecting with the people guarding the courtyard, Song Qingzhou and Zhou Qingshan moved in, and after finishing some trivial affairs, they made a pot of good tea in the room, and discussed important matters while tasting tea:

"Brother Qingzhou, to do that nail head soul extermination technique, you need to take the blood of the main body, etc., which is not easy to do. ”

Zhou Qingshan got straight to the point and mentioned the key issues.

Song Qingzhou asked, "Do we still have anyone in Panzhou Yamen?"

Zhou Qingshan nodded and said: "There are two, but they are both arranged to be idle, and in normal times, it is difficult to see Chen Tang, let alone get close." ”

Song Qingzhou thought for a while: "What about buying the people around Chen Tang? I'm talking about the kind at any cost." ”

Zhou Qingshan smiled bitterly: "It's difficult, it's not easy to buy henchmen, if you don't pay attention to it, you will leak the news, and you will be betrayed." And in this case, it is very time-consuming to operate. ”

Song Qingzhou understood that after all, if he could become a confidant, he would definitely go through all kinds of investigations in terms of loyalty, and if he wanted to rebel, how easy would it be? If it took a year and a half, by that time, there would be more variables, and it would be impossible to start.

Zhou Qingshan sighed and said: "If Chen Tang didn't enter Panzhou, there would not be so many people around him to protect him, but now?"

Song Qingzhou smiled slightly, looking confident: "Brother Qingshan, have you forgotten my housekeeping skills?"

Zhou Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up: "You mean to dispatch that thing?"

He slapped his thigh: "Yes, you have a swarm of Dementor mosquitoes." This worm can not only depart souls, but also suck blood. ”

Song Qingzhou said leisurely: "That's right. ”

Seeing the hope, Zhou Qingshan was a little excited, and then asked: "However, after that worm sucks blood, and holds the blood in its mouth, will its essence purity be contaminated, thus making the secret technique fail." ”

Song Qingzhou smiled and said: "Brother Qingshan doesn't know, I spent countless efforts to raise this group of alien insects, which has its own merits. Even if the blood becomes slightly mixed, it doesn't matter if it doesn't affect the casting of the arcane arts. ”

Zhou Qingshan clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful! In the dead of night, in the middle of the night, you released the soul mosquito and flew straight to the house, wouldn't that blood be at your fingertips? It turns out that Brother Qingzhou has a clever plan, admire and admire!"

was praised by him, Song Qingzhou showed self-sufficiency, and said indifferently: "Even if that guy sleeps with a mosquito net, I'm not afraid, my soul mosquito is unusual and can pierce in." And when he sleeps, he doesn't know that the blood is being collected, and when the blood arrives, isn't it all at our mercy?"

Zhou Qingshan couldn't stop nodding, paused, and said worriedly: "Brother Qingzhou, there is still something to watch out for." ”

"What?"

"He was originally a Tanhualang, but now he has been ordered to sit in Panzhou Mansion, and he is a member of the imperial court, and he has an official spirit. If we use our secret arts, we will definitely suffer a backlash. Although it is said that the food of the king is the responsibility of the king, it is a little unwise to take the lives of you and me in order to deal with Chen Tang. ”

Hearing this, Song Qingzhou glanced at him and said slowly: "I have also taken this into consideration, don't worry, when the time comes, we will join hands to arrange the formation, and post puppet talismans to make arrangements for transferring flowers and trees, and try to minimize the backlash." ”

Zhou Qingshan said happily: "Sure enough, you are still thoughtful, I only look forward to you." ”

Song Qingzhou was very useful: "In the past few days, I have sent people to find out the news, especially about Chen Tang's diet and daily life, and when I get used to it, I will look for an opportunity to release the soul mosquito." As for you, from today onwards, you will have to carve the Yin Man Wooden Talisman. ”

Zhou Qingshan said: "Within three days, it will definitely be completed." ”

With that, the two began to act separately. As for the matter of finding out the news, there were people to do it, and they stayed in the courtyard, one continued to raise mosquitoes, and the other began to carve wood.

It was a strange piece of wood the size of a palm, thick and heavy, and as black as charred charcoal.

Zhou Qingshan held a small knife with a strange pattern in his hand, and after taking a closer look, he began to move the knife.

Sizzle!

Wisps of sawdust fell.

When carrying the knife, Zhou Qingshan looked very struggling, there were green tendons bulging on the back of his hands, and after carving for a while, he was already sweating on his forehead.

He put down the knife, stretched out his hand to wipe a handful of sweat, and muttered: "Carving the Yin Man Talisman, at least one year of life, plus the backlash of the nail head soul destroying technique, you can't run for two years, and it adds up to three years." Three years of life, in exchange for a lifetime of glory and wealth, as well as generations of children and grandchildren, it is also worth it. ”

He has been cultivating for many years, but his heart is still impetuous, he can't bear the loneliness of the world, and he also thinks that the road is hopeless, so he enters the world to join the nobles and enjoy it.

"That's it, it's come to this, it's useless to think about it......"

Zhou Qingshan's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he continued to carve with his knife. He carved a person, but he hadn't seen that person yet, so I don't know what he looked like. Therefore, the first stage is just to carve a rough outline, and then to look at the physiognomy of the target object, and finally to depict it vividly.

At that point, it will be truly completed.
