After half an hour, Wang Changsheng, who had eaten and drunk enough, followed the middle-aged man out of the restaurant and walked towards the west of the city.

The middle-aged man introduced the customs and customs of this place to Wang Changsheng, and at the same time wanted to inquire about Wang Changsheng's origin.

In this regard, Wang Changsheng had already prepared and lied that he was a subordinate of a certain magnate, but he did not say which magnate it was.

Knowing that Wang Changsheng was a subordinate of the powerful, the smile on the middle-aged man's face was even more flattering, and his words were all flattering.

"By the way, Boss Qian, when I entered the city, the soldier guarding the door was holding a portrait in his hand, and it seemed that he was searching for someone, why, do you often have bandits here?" Wang Changsheng asked casually.

"That's what you say! This person is the master of Qingyuan Temple outside the city, I heard that the medical skills are very clever, Li Dashan people took his daughter to the door, asked this person for treatment, who knew that this person was a sanctimonious hypocrite, taking advantage of the night, sneaked into Miss Li's room, and wanted to do bad things, fortunately, Li Dashan people found out in time, called other people, which scared this person away, who knew that this person was mad, and actually set fire to the entire Taoist temple, trying to kill people and extinguish the mouth, fortunately, Li Dashan and Miss Li escaped, but the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple and those believers who spent the night were burned to death, for this reason, the government posted notices in various counties to arrest this person, but it has been more than half a month, I haven't caught this person yet, I guess this person hid in the mountains and was bitten to death by a wild beast!"

Hearing this, Wang Changsheng nodded and didn't think much about it.

It didn't take long for the middle-aged man to take Wang Changsheng to a manor covering an area of several acres.

The gate of the manor was closed, and a plaque hung on the door, on which were written the two big characters of Zhoufu.

Boss Qian walked in front of him and patted the door hard.

It didn't take long for an old hunchbacked man with a white beard to walk out.

"You are ······"

"I am the shopkeeper of thyme, Qian Fu, and I know that your son-in-law is going to sell the manor, so I specially brought this son-in-law to buy it," Boss Qian asked straight to the point.

When the hunchbacked old man heard this, he frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "Come with me!"

"Childe, please," Boss Qian nodded, motioning for Wang Changsheng to go first.

Wang Changsheng was not polite and took the lead in walking in.

This manor is really good, the courtyard is connected, the rockery fish pond, and most importantly, this place is very quiet, and it is a good choice to lay out the sound array here and draw the talisman seal.

The hunchbacked old man led Wang Changsheng and the others into the hall, and after making a cup of fragrant tea for the two, he retreated.

After a while, a cheerful voice came from outside the hall: "Who wants to buy my house?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a young man in brocade in his twenties walked in quickly, followed by a hunchbacked old man, and the eyes of the young man in brocade swept over Wang Changsheng and the others, and then fell on Wang Changsheng.

"Zhou Zheng, this prince wants to buy your mansion, but the prince thinks that one thousand taels is too expensive, and eight hundred taels is about the same," Boss Qian's eyes narrowed and he bargained.

Wang Changsheng didn't say anything, took a sip of tea, and looked at the young man in brocade with a calm face.

"What? Eight hundred taels, the money shopkeeper, your price is too low! Our lord bought this house for 1,500 taels at the beginning, and now you only give 800 taels, and the price is too much!" Before the young man in brocade could say anything, the hunchbacked old man spoke first, his expression a little angry.

"Yes, Boss Qian, your price is too low, I am a big house with three entrances and three exits, and the fish in the fish pond alone are more than one hundred taels, so it will cost nine hundred taels!"

"Hmph, Zhou Zheng, I'm not afraid to tell you that this prince is doing things for a certain big person, and he is willing to spend eight hundred taels to buy your house, which is already very face-saving, don't be ashamed," Boss Qian snorted lightly and mentioned Wang Changsheng's identity.

"Okay! Eight hundred taels is eight hundred taels," the young man in brocade said, his face changed slightly, and he agreed.

"Young master, no, this house is the master's ······."

"Shut up, are you a young master or am I a young master, I said eight hundred taels is eight hundred taels," the young man in brocade glared at the hunchbacked old man, interrupting the hunchbacked old man's words, and then squeezed out a smile on his face, and said to Wang Changsheng: "Prince Wang, as long as eight hundred taels, this mansion is yours," After speaking, he took out the house deed.

Wang Changsheng nodded, took out a heavy cloth bag, and threw it to the brocade-clothed youth.

The young man in brocade opened the cloth bag and glanced at it, his face was happy, he handed the deed to Wang Changsheng, and turned to leave.

"Okay, this mansion is not your Zhou Mansion's, you are limited to moving out within half a pillar of incense," Qian Fu said unceremoniously to the hunchbacked old man.

The hunchbacked old man nodded, sighed, and turned and walked out.

"Good job, this is a reward for you, you can leave if you have nothing to do! I will go to you if you have something," After speaking, Wang Changsheng threw two ingots of silver to Boss Qian.

Boss Qian took the two ingots of silver, thanked him, and left happily.

Wang Changsheng sat in the hall for a while, then turned around and walked out.

Since he was planning to live here for a while, of course he had to take a good look at his residence.

When Wang Changsheng walked out of the hall, he happened to see the hunchbacked old man carrying a package, looking at the grass and trees in the manor, looking quite reluctant.

"Ahh

"Wait, uncle, take this ingot of silver, don't follow your young master," Wang Changsheng stopped the hunchbacked old man and handed him a silver ingot.

"Then thank you, Childe," the hunchbacked old man hesitated slightly, but still accepted the ingot, thanked him, and left.

Wang Changsheng walked around the manor a few times, and after being familiar with the layout of the manor, he walked into a courtyard full of flowers and plants.

This courtyard is the heart of the estate, and it is a good place to draw a sigil.

Wang Changsheng closed his eyes, let go of his divine sense, and after scanning the entire manor, and after confirming that there was no one else, he opened his eyes.

Wang Changsheng slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist, and a black smoke rolled out of it, turning into a black dragon more than ten zhang long.

After killing the six bald men, Wang Changsheng hurried to explore the Ancient Monk Cave Mansion, and had no time to check Xiao Hei's injuries, but now that he had settled down, he naturally wanted to cure Xiao Hei's injuries.

Xiao Hei looked sick, lying lazily in front of Wang Changsheng, and flesh and blood could be seen in many places on his body.

Seeing this, Wang Changsheng raised his eyebrows, he simply cleaned Xiao Hei's wounds, and took out a few hundred years elixir for Xiao Hei to swallow.

After playing with Xiao Hei for a while, Wang Changsheng took it back to the spirit beast bag and let it recuperate quietly.

According to Wang Changsheng's guess, Xiao Hei may have to cultivate for a few months, or even half a year, to recover as before, in this way, if he encounters a strong enemy again, in addition to Fu Seal, the bloodthirsty spirit bat is also his reliance.

Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng flipped his palm, and planted two more wooden boxes in his hands, each with a second-level demon bird Neidan, there were eight bloodthirsty spirit bats, and there were only two Neidan, it seemed that only two could be prioritized.

If there are eight second-level bloodthirsty spirit bats, I am afraid that the monks of the late stage of foundation building are not his opponents, but this is impossible, not to mention whether Wang Changsheng can cultivate all eight bloodthirsty spirit bats to second-level demon beasts, he can't bear just controlling eight first-level bloodthirsty spirit bats, let alone eight second-level bloodthirsty spirit bats.

From the cost consideration, there is no need to cultivate eight bloodthirsty spirit bats, the bloodthirsty spirit bats can only release one wind blade technique, the flight speed is a little faster than the average mid-level magic weapon, the defense ability is not strong, there is that cultivated spirit stone, it is better to use it to cultivate Xiao Hei.

In addition to being able to spray water archery, Xiao Hei has thick skin and thick flesh, can fight enemies in close quarters, and can even spit out some kind of corrosive liquid, Wang Changsheng has seen it with his own eyes, and the high-level attack magic weapons are corroded by a certain liquid spewed out by Xiao Hei.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Changsheng released the eight bloodthirsty spirit bats, selected the two largest ones, swallowed the two inner pills for them, and packed them in a spirit beast bag.

After swallowing the Inner Dan of the second-level demon bird, Wang Changsheng was not sure whether these two bloodthirsty spirit bats would be able to advance to the second level.

After doing all this, Wang Changsheng took out the talisman furnace, took out the materials for refining the rune paper, and began to refine the blank rune paper.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two months have passed.

During this period, Wang Changsheng used the Centennial Elixir in his hand to refine many intermediate rune papers, and used these intermediate rune papers to practice the drawing of several intermediate rune seals.

After a lot of practice, I don't know how many times he failed, Wang Changsheng successfully drew a few trapped beast talismans and golden light talismans, and also drew a few fire escape talismans and firebird talismans.

Wang Changsheng also tried to draw an intermediate thunder rune seal, but instead of drawing an intermediate thunder rune seal, he spent more than a dozen low-level thunder spirit stones, which made Wang Changsheng feel distressed, so he could only temporarily give up drawing an intermediate thunder rune seal.

Although he didn't draw the intermediate thunder rune seal, he drew a lot of the primary thunder rune seal, the thunder fire rune, and the thunder guide rune drew a lot, and with it, the thunder spirit stone was greatly reduced.

In addition to making talismans, in his spare time, Wang Changsheng would go out for a walk, silently observe the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the mortals around him, and comprehend and introspect from the perspective of immortal cultivators.

The life of mortals is indeed different from that of immortal cultivators, everything they do is to live and work hard to live better, while everything immortal cultivators do is to live for immortality and work hard for a longer life.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Zheng, the former owner of the manor where Wang Changsheng now lives, spent the eight hundred taels that sold the house, because he had no skills, and he was lazy and disgusting, and finally became a beggar and starved to death on the street.

During this period, a strange thing happened here, the number of beggars in the city gradually decreased, and in the end there was no one, which made the local county magistrate happy, saying that he was well governed, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Although the beggars are gone, on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Dashan still opens a porridge shed to give porridge to the poor, which makes the local people praise.

Xu is Li Dashanren's kindness touched the heavens, Miss Li's strange illness was cured by Song Yu's doctor, Li Dashanren really took out half of the family wealth as a gift, this matter has become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner for a while.

But soon, everyone's attention was attracted by another thing, I don't know when, the local young children began to disappear frequently, most of the young children disappeared at night, at first, everyone did not care, thinking that it was just human traffickers stealing children, but with the increase in the number of missing young children, people began to panic, as soon as the night closed the door, some even tied themselves and the child together with a rope, but it was useless, the child was still lost.

According to the people who lost the child, they woke up and the child was gone, and no one knows how the child was lost.

In this case, the government sent out soldiers to hunt for thieves and patrols, but even so, the number of missing children is still increasing.

Young children kept disappearing, and the government said that human traffickers did it, but they couldn't solve the case.

Some people say that these children were sold far away by human traffickers, others say that they were done by monsters, and that the missing children were eaten by monsters, and some people say that these children were lost by themselves, but no matter which way they say, the people who lost their children are in tears all day long, and some people even can't think of committing suicide.

Chen Qingfeng is the county magistrate of Guangning County, he is the Jinshi of Zhende for 21 years, he has been in the position of county magistrate for 20 years, if he has not made special achievements, it is estimated that he will be a seven-grade county magistrate in this life.

In this regard, Chen Qingfeng also felt that there was something wrong, the reason why he stayed in the position of county magistrate for 20 years, in addition to the reason that he did not make special political achievements, and not bribing his boss with money was also an important reason, which was a well-known Qing official in Guangning County.

For a long time, Chen Qingfeng has also regarded himself as a clean official, not greedy for money, not lustful, and not in love with power, he only has a good name, and a clean official is the name he cares about the most.

But now, Chen Qingfeng is about to go crazy, in the recent period, in the area under his governance, young children have frequently disappeared, although all the arresters in the yamen have been sent out, but still no thieves have been caught, and the people have everything they say.

One of the rumors made Chen Qingfeng particularly angry, saying that he colluded with human traffickers to sell young children in Guangning County, and it was because he turned a blind eye that the traffickers were not arrested and brought to justice, and in private people have already accused him of being a dog official and a corrupt official.

Chen Qingfeng has always regarded himself as a clean official, how can he bear the people scolding him as a corrupt official and a dog official, anger is anger, he also understands that the top priority is to arrest the traffickers, otherwise let alone the people scolding him, if things are allowed to develop like this, I am afraid that the black gauze hat on his head will not be able to keep it, and he may even be beheaded by his boss on the charge of corrupt officials to show the public, in order to vent the anger of the people.

"County Lieutenant Li, how many days have passed, why can't you catch that trafficker," Chen Qingfeng slapped the table hard, looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of him, and said with some annoyance.

The middle-aged man had a resolute face, frowned, and faced the reprimand of his boss, he did not refute, nor did he have the face to refute.

It's been a month, and as a county lieutenant in charge of public security and thieves, he can't even catch a few traffickers, so how can he have the face to refute his boss's reprimand.

To be honest, it's not that he doesn't want to arrest these traffickers, in order to arrest these traffickers, he hasn't been home for half a month, no matter how many people he arranges to ambush families with children, the next morning, the children are still lost.

Afterwards, he asked his subordinates, they all said that they fell asleep in a daze, and the child disappeared when he woke up, and he personally squatted if he did not believe in evil, for this reason, he also took several antidotes of incense, but there was no effect, he also fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up, the child was still gone, which made him a little uneasy, and he vaguely felt that the disappearance of the young child may not be related to human traffickers, it is very likely to be like the folk legend, it is made by monsters.

"Lord Chen, I suspect that this matter was not done by humans, well, it is very likely that the monster did it, I think, let's report this matter! Let the above deal with it!" The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth to suggest.
