Chapter 34: Xiaocheng

In the early morning, the sky has just brightened, and the sun has not yet appeared.

The morning humidity condensed a little dew on the weeds on the ground, and the heavy dew bent downward against the tender blades of grass. However, the dew that forces the blades of grass to bow their heads can no longer stay on the tips of the grass under the action of gravity, and reluctantly drip down the leaf face until they fall on a hole in the ground.

Zhang Quan opened his eyelids a little confused, and his godless eyes slowly gained focus as the morning light shone in. Looking left and right, he seemed to be a little puzzled why he was not at home, but in a strange courtyard.

"It looks like I was attacked by a dark shadow on my way home last night?" Why does this place look so familiar?

...... Suddenly, thinking about something, Zhang Quan's face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. Immediately afterwards, a spirited turned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and muttering: "Auntie and grandmother spare your life! Spare your life! There is a wrong, there is a debtor, your man has killed you, you just take your man to resist your life, don't kill innocents indiscriminately!" While kowtowing and begging for mercy, Zhang Quan's body and voice trembled like a sieve.

That's right, Zhang Quan finally remembered where this was. This is a haunted house that is famous for several streets in the neighborhood, the murderous house. What's more important is that Zhang Quan not only knows why this place has become a murderous mansion, but also has been here in person.

That was a few years ago. Originally, there was a young couple living here, and the two of them opened a small restaurant on the nearby street, because of the good craftsmanship, although it cannot be said that the day is making money, but it is also a hot business. For ordinary people, it can be said that they have a successful career, coupled with the harmonious life of the husband and wife, and later the wife became pregnant, and was diagnosed as twins by Langzhong, and it was even more happy, and the neighbors were envious when they saw it.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and during his wife's pregnancy, her husband didn't go into a gambling house with someone and became addicted to drugs. At first, it was just a few small gambles and stopped, but later the more gambling became, the husband was about to sell the shop in exchange for gambling money when the wife found out. Of course, the wife refused, so the two quarreled at home, which later turned into a fight. The husband was anxious and pushed his wife away and turned to leave, but the husband who left did not find that the wife who was pushed away by himself hit her head on the corner of the table, and suddenly died two or three times.

Later, after the body was discovered, someone reported the case, and just when the arrest of the yamen was about to find out the truth and go to arrest the murderer, a strange thing happened. The husband who killed his wife and his unborn son died tragically on the street, along with several gamblers who were said to have instigated her husband to gamble.

And in the following period, strange things continued to happen in the surrounding houses, and for a while, people were panicked, and all the neighbors near the house moved out one after another.

This incident was extremely sensational at the time, and everyone who heard it at the time said that the death of the husband and a few gambling sticks was a wrongful soul asking for his life, the devil and the ghost mother took revenge, and the neighbors were also invaded by the evil spirit of the resentful spirit.

It just so happened that when the yamen came to handle the case, Zhang Quan came over to see the excitement. At that time, Zhang Quan had witnessed the scene of the pregnant woman's death, and he was so frightened that he had nightmares for half a month. And the reason why Zhang Quan is so familiar with this courtyard is because Zhang Quan was standing in his current position and saw the corpse in the house at that time, so much time has passed, and when he saw the house in front of him in a familiar position, the situation of that day was immediately recalled.

Just when Zhang Quan was desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy, a gust of cold wind blew on his body, like a hungry ghost, Zhang Quan, who was already frightened, suddenly had goosebumps all over his body, kowtowed more urgently, and said urgently while banging his head on the ground:

"Grandma spare my life, I'm really innocent. I promise, I've changed, I'll never gamble again, I really don't gamble anymore, please be kind and spare me!"

Not long after Zhang Quan made his vow, the sun rose, and the gentle sunlight shone on Zhang's body, dispelling the chill of the early morning. Feeling the changes in his body, Zhang Quan slowly stopped moving, the expression on his face calmed down, and then he collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and said in a weak voice:

"Thank you aunt and grandmother for sparing your life, the little one will definitely change his mind and be a new person in the future. ”

At this time, Zhang Quan suddenly found that his crotch became wet at some point, and an unpleasant smell also came, but he was scared to pee.

He lay down for a while, and only after regaining some strength did Zhang Quan stand up. At this time, Zhang Quanquan's head was bruised, his face was full of mucus from snot and saliva, his clothes were messy, he was covered with dust on the ground, and there was a water stain under his crotch, and the whole person was very embarrassed. It's just that he can't care about these now, dragging his cramped legs, limping open the courtyard door and walking out. Later, after paying off his gambling debts, he really quit gambling and lived honestly.

At this time, of course, Mo Chen didn't know that his unintentional actions had saved a gambler's life.

At this time, as the Golden Scale Gang entered the north of the city, the form was suddenly very good, and no one dared to come to the west of the city to make trouble. The staff of Zhirui Hall was officially withdrawn in the morning, and Mo Chen returned to his previous life. The difference is that from this day on, every night Mo Chen will dress up in disguise and go to the street to catch some unlucky eggs who are still wandering at night to devour dreams.

Due to Mo Chen's caution and the ability of mental illumination, no one saw Mo Chen's figure head-on under the sneak attack. Moreover, Mo Chen also knocked people unconscious, moved to a remote and uninhabited corner, and left quickly after devouring the dream, the whole process was incredibly fast. As a result, even if someone occasionally passes through these remote places, they only find the unlucky ones who have been knocked unconscious.

Gradually, there was a legend of a demon who loved to play tricks among ordinary people. It is said that recently there was a wandering demon fairy in the city, who haunted at night and loved to play tricks on people, often using spells to stun people, and then moved to a secluded corner to hide. The story is told with a nose and eyes, as if you saw it with your own eyes. Of course, there are also those who say that they are ghosts, some say that they are mountain spirits, and some say that this is not a trick at all, and those who are stunned are all sucked yang energy by the monsters, and their lives are short, and there are all kinds of messy versions.

However, these are only circulated among ordinary people, and there are no casualties or property damage to this matter, and no one else has seen it except the person concerned, and even if the person person says it, no one believes it. It didn't attract much attention, and even Mo Chen, the demon fairy himself, hadn't heard of it.

As Mo Chen devoured more and more dreams during this time, Mo Chen's control over the dream realm not only increased significantly, but the upper limit of his spirit continued to rise, and even the limit of his daily spiritual growth was far beyond usual. On this day, Mo Chen cultivated in a dream. On the grass next to the turbulent river outside the city, Mo Chen sat cross-legged, his eyes closed and he cultivated, and a three-dimensional yin and yang diagram in his mind was constantly intertwined and rotated, so that Mo Chen's spirit continued to grow. In front of you is a wide river, the gentle flow of the river, the breeze mixed with the water vapor, makes people feel comfortable both physically and mentally.

At this time, Mo Chen's spirit suddenly shook, and a special feeling came to his heart, and he suddenly understood in his heart that today, he had finally reached the realm of Xiaocheng in the Concentrating Realm.
