The Soul-Breaking Pill, which was introduced in the Yin-Yang Soul-Ferrying Notes, is not a healing pill, nor is it a pill for improving one's spiritual power. Instead, it is an explosive pill similar to the "Thunder Explosion Bead".
This pill has a nice name, but it is divided into sub-pills and mother pills. The mother pill controls the sub-pills. Whether it is a human or a ghost, once they swallow this pill, there is a danger that their body or soul will be controlled and exploded. The damage is huge.
"Soul-breaking Pill! Damn it, it's actually this kind of pill. It seems that this big smoker came up with it! That big smoker is very cunning!"
I muttered unhappily.
Magu's face was pale and ugly. She looked at the corpses of the ghost officials who died tragically on the ground and said solemnly: "This matter will not end like this! Zuo Weiran!"
Magu suddenly called out Zuo Weiran's name.
Zuo Weiran hurried forward, his face timid, he clasped his fists towards Magu and said, "Master, I'm here."
Magu instructed Zuo Weiran, "Take the ghost officials of Gongyang Pavilion and capture that heavy smoker. Also, find out where the ghosts' lair is... Ghosts that can openly confront Gongyang Pavilion are probably not simple. I'll leave this matter to you."
"You have three days to find out the truth."
Although Zuo Weiran was unsure, he still accepted the order and said, "Yes, Master, I will find out the truth as soon as possible."
"Um!"
Nodding, Magu's eyes fell on me, Zhu Xinglong and others, and she said in a deep voice: "Although many of the ghost officials you brought with you were killed or injured this time, you have also made contributions to the Gongyang Pavilion. As the head of the Gongyang Pavilion, I still have to reward you."
Magu's words made Zhu Xinglong and others show excitement in their eyes, but then when they thought of those dead ghost officials, the light in their eyes dimmed a lot.
"Well, the dead cannot be resurrected, this is their fate... So, I am here to announce that I am appointing Zhu Xinglong as the fifth captain of the Reward and Punishment Hall. The other two ghost officials Nie Gangjie and Zhang Ze, I officially appoint you as the squad leaders of the Reward and Punishment Hall."
"At the same time, the three of you ghost officials will receive a thousand points. With the points, you can exchange them for what you need from the Reward and Punishment Hall... As for you, Yang Tianyi..."
When it came to me, Magu stopped talking.
After thinking for a while, she said, "As for you, Yang Tianyi, you are not a member of the Gongyang Pavilion, so it is unrealistic for me to assign you a position. How about this, based on your contribution to the Gongyang Pavilion, I will reward you with 3,000 points."
Three thousand points
When I heard this number, I was so excited that I couldn't express it in words.
Seeing me standing there in shock, Magu asked with concern, "What's wrong? Yang Tianyi, are you dissatisfied with anything else?"
I have nothing to be dissatisfied with.
Even if I exchanged a 100-year-old "Heaven-Repairing Ganoderma" in the Offering Pavilion, I would only get 800 points. Now I was given 1,000 points, which was really an astronomical figure.
I have to say, Magu really takes good care of me.
After hearing what Magu said, Zuo Weiran, as the captain of the Reward and Punishment Hall, felt a little unhappy.
Zuo Weiran stepped forward and said to Magu respectfully, "Master, it's not good for you to give the points directly to them. Over the years, only those ghost officials who have made outstanding contributions to the Support Pavilion can get points. And when I give rewards to my ghost officials in the Reward and Punishment Hall, I also give rewards according to the level of the task."
"If you follow the task
As for the level, Yang Tianyi and Zhu Xinglong were doing the "first-class" task, which is the lowest level. Even if they lost someone, they can't be directly rewarded with points. This is too unfair to the former ghost officials!"
When I heard this, I was very dissatisfied.
I turned to Zuo Weiran and said coldly, "Butler Zuo, although you are the chief captain of the Reward and Punishment Hall, you must always distinguish right from wrong, right? Yes, we are doing a low-level task, just responsible for gathering information. But there are always exceptions. This time, not only did we lose someone, but we also found out that there were ghosts deliberately targeting the Support Pavilion."
"Even if it is true, we haven't found out anything, but we have eliminated no less than dozens of ghosts who had ill intentions towards Gongyang Pavilion. Isn't this a great contribution? Moreover, as far as I know, even if the number of ghost officials who died in Gongyang Pavilion in the past ten years is not as many as the number of ghost officials who died this time. Don't you see all this?"
Zuo Weiran's face turned cold and unnatural after hearing what I said. The disgust in his eyes was revealed without any concealment.
He gritted his teeth, glared at me fiercely, and stood aside without saying anything.
"Okay, stop arguing! ... This time, many ghost officials from the Gongyang Pavilion died. It was not easy for those who survived. As for the rewards, just do as I said just now! And the bodies of those dead ghost officials should be buried on the spot!"
Magu seemed to have forgotten to reward someone, so I quickly winked at her secretly a few times.
Only then did Magu notice the mustachioed ghost captain, Zhang Rong, who was standing next to her with his head lowered.
"Oh, and there's also Zhang Rong. He was able to promptly inform Yang Tianyi and the others of the danger, which was also a great achievement."
"How about this, I now appoint Zhang Rong as my personal bodyguard, and he will also serve as the captain of the Reward and Punishment Hall. As for the reward, I will give him 2,000 points!"
Zhang Rong looked at Magu, then looked at me, and for a moment, he was stunned.
He didn't expect that he would actually receive a reward from Pavilion Master Magu, and he didn't expect that he would not only get 2,000 points, but also become Magu's bodyguard. Happiness came too suddenly, like a piece of pie hitting Zhang Rong's face hard.
"Captain Zhang Rong, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Zhang Rong's dull expression, Magu asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Rong quickly bowed and clasped his fists, saying, "That... Thank you, Pavilion Master, for your reward!"
His voice was trembling.
Zuo Weiran, who had not yet left, looked at Zhang Rong with a frown.
Seeing Zhang Rong actually laughing at me, Zuo Weiran realized that something was wrong. Zuo Weiran thought, could it be that Zhang Rong had revealed what he was planning
But if Zhang Rong revealed his affairs, then the Pavilion Master Magu would have been furious, so how could she possibly reward Zhang Rong?
Zuo Weiran was very puzzled. So, even though most of the ghost officials were his men, he did not dare to act rashly.
"Okay, Yang Tianyi, Zhu Xinglong, you've worked hard. Let Chief Steward Zuo take care of the next things. You're all injured, so follow me back to the Support Pavilion!"
"yes!"
Then Magu led the way, and Zhu Xinglong and I followed behind her, walking towards a carriage.
As soon as Zhang Rong took a step, Zuo Weiran grabbed his sleeve.
"Zhang Rong, what's going on? Why are you so close to that Yang kid?"
Zuo Weiran stared at Zhang Rong sternly, his cold eyes filled with unfathomable depth.
Seeing that no one noticed him and Zuo Weiran, Zhang Rong lowered his voice and said to Zuo Weiran, "Master Zuo, it was because I saved Yang Tianyi that he liked me.
How could I possibly tell you about your affairs! In the future, I am still waiting for you to promote me!"
Zhang Rong obviously deceived Zuo Weiran.
But his performance was really good. If he were still alive, he might have won a Golden Horse Award.
After a few simple conversations with Zhang Rong, Zuo Weiran finally felt relieved.
Zuo Weiran patted Zhang Rong on the shoulder with a smile, and reminded him with a smile: "Zhang Rong, now that you have been promoted by the Pavilion Master to be a personal guard, you must do your job well, otherwise, I, Zuo Weiran, will be the first one to not let you go!"
"That's right... That's what Butler Zuo ordered!"
The following few sentences were just Zuo Weiran's pretense.
Soon, Lady Magu took us away on a "paper car and paper horse".
Seeing us leaving, three captains from the Reward and Punishment Hall came up to Zuo Weiran.
Among the three ghost officials, one had thick black eyebrows like swords, named Yu Jianfeng. Another had a dark face and looked a little gloomy, named Lin Chengming. Another had small eyes but very white skin, named Su Xiaoshan.
Three ghost officer captains surrounded Zuo Weiran.
Yu Jianfeng lowered his voice and asked, "Master Zuo, Zhang Rong was promoted by Magu to be a personal guard. Isn't there any problem?"
Yu Jianfeng and Zhang Rong have a very good relationship.
Zuo Weiran chuckled and said, "It's okay, Zhang Rong will be fine. Who knows, he might even be the key to our seizure of the Gongyang Pavilion!"
Yu Jianfeng seemed to realize something and asked in surprise, "Master Zuo, do you mean to let Zhang Rong stab Magu in the back?"
Zuo Weiran smiled and said nothing.
The other three ghost officer captains also realized that this was what Zuo Weiran meant.
But after a while, Lin Chengming, who was standing aside with a silent face, spoke up: "But, Lord Zuo, now Magu has arranged for us to investigate those ghosts who robbed our Gongyang Pavilion of money and food, and to find their lair. What should we do?"
Zuo Weiran sneered and said solemnly: "What does this have to do with our seizure of the Gongyang Pavilion? I won't waste time on this matter. Hunting down those ghosts and looking for their lair is ridiculous!"
"I have decided. Three days later, when we return to the Gongyang Pavilion, we will start to attack Magu and seize the Gongyang Pavilion in one fell swoop."
Hearing that they were about to seize the Gongyang Pavilion, Yu Jianfeng and the others were very excited. After all, they had been waiting for this day for more than ten years.
Lin Chengming was a thoughtful person. He said to Zuo Weiran seriously, "But Sir Zuo, there are still some ghost officials in the Support Pavilion who are not our people. What should we do?"
Zuo Weiran only said one word, "Kill!"
Then, without Zuo Weiran's instructions, Lin Chengming and the other two ghost officials slowly turned around and ran towards the ghost officials behind them.
This time they brought over fifty ghost officials here, and more than a dozen of them were not theirs.
Soon, the dozen or so ghost officials died tragically at the hands of Lin Chengming and others and became ghosts.
Some ghost officials didn't know what was going on until they died.
Of course, there are some ghost officials who are not Zuo Weiran’s men, and they are distributed in the teams that are carrying out tasks.
Seeing that Lin Chengming and the others had killed all the ghost officials, Zuo Weiran ordered Yu Jianfeng, "Jianfeng, go contact the other ghost officials who are doing tasks outside and gather here as soon as possible. In three days, we will launch a general attack on the Gongyang Pavilion!"
"This time, I must make that old woman Magu step down. She is a stinky woman who has been trampling on me for decades. I can't stand it anymore!"
"Yes, Master Zuo!"
