As the hungry ghost died, the oil lamp was extinguished, and immediately, an inexplicable force broke out. Then, the surrounding environment changed again, and the original simple room instantly became dilapidated. The hazy moonlight was projected through the already damaged roof. It was vaguely visible that the beams in the corners of the room were covered with dense cobwebs, and the tables, chairs, and beds were also covered with thick dust. The fragrant human flesh in the dishes also turned into pieces of white bones. , as if still indicating the sumptuous banquet that once appeared here.
"This -" Wang Erlang was dumbfounded. However, the repeated horrors had made him more or less resistant. Therefore, he felt that he could barely accept the scene in front of him. At least, it was better than what he had just faced. The hungry ghosts are coming much better.
In comparison, Jiang Chen next to him was much calmer. After all, this was not the first time he encountered a ghost. Although the hungry ghost just now was not weak because he had devoured a large number of humans, it was still lagging behind the zombie mandrill. , with his strength, he is naturally fearless. What's more, now that all the hungry ghosts have been killed by him, the scene in front of him is just the result of the collapse of the ghost realm, and there is nothing to be curious about.
In the low-level fantasy ghost realm, even Dong Xiaoyu, the female ghost he met for the first time, was able to do it. If it weren't for the purpose of giving Wang Erlang a lesson, he would have broken it directly. Now all this has not happened. Not beyond his expectation.
"Stop doing this and that, quickly find a place to rest. We have to be on the road early tomorrow morning!" As he spoke, Jiang Chen waved his sleeves and swept away a piece of dust, then sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes in silence.
Although Wang Erlang didn't want to stay in this damn place, it was dark outside and the shadows were blurry under the moonlight. He didn't know what kind of risks there were, so he didn't dare to wander around.
He cleared a clean place not far from Jiang Chen. After sitting down, he couldn't bear the hunger and took out the dry food he had brought with him. The cold and hard steamed buns were naturally not as cold as the fragrant meat. The pure water is not as good as hot tea, but it is enough to make ends meet.
They spent the night without talking, and early the next morning, they set off to continue their journey to Guobei County. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to navigate. Even if they were riding horses, it took them two or three days to reach Guobei County. It was daytime, and the market in Guobei County was bustling with people coming and going.
"Priest Zhiqiu, this is where my friend's home is." Wang Erlang led Jiang Chen through several streets and alleys, and came to a large-scale mansion. There was a plaque in front of the door with the word "Liu Mansion" , inside and outside the open door, there are four capable guards guarding the courtyard. You can tell at a glance that they are practitioners with real kung fu.
Jiang Chen looked at it and didn't understand. The Liu family seemed to have a lot of wealth, even higher than the Wang Yi family. However, this didn't make any difference to him. He just nodded calmly and said: "Well, since We’re here, so what are you waiting for? Hurry and call for help, it’s important to treat your illness.”
"Okay." Wang Erlang responded, and even though he was very familiar with it, he shouted to a guard outside the door: "Liu Qi, I wonder if Uncle Liu is at home? I brought a Taoist priest with me this time. Come here, the noble scholar, with his magical power, he will be able to cure Brother Liu's strange disease."
"Ah! It's the Second Young Master Wang here!" The guards at the door obviously recognized Wang Erlang. Among them, the guard standing on the left immediately came up to him with a smile: "Second Young Master Wang, do you really mean what you just said? "
"Well, Liu Qi, now that I have spoken, can it still be false?" Wang Erlang snorted softly and said, "If nothing else, just based on my friendship with Brother Liu, I will never If you are going to cheat on this matter, go and report it quickly. It’s okay to chat with me, but you can’t afford to be guilty of wasting the master’s time.”
"Yes, yes." Liu Qi glanced at Jiang Chen next to Wang Erlang, and then responded with a flattering face. While leading Wang Erlang and Jiang Chen inside, he quickly reported to the inner palace.
Not long after the group entered the gate, an old man in his forties or fifty years old in rich clothes came out in the front hall. Wang Erlang bowed his hands and saluted, calling him uncle. Obviously, he was Liu Xun's father. When Wang Erlang introduced Jiang In the morning, when he saw Jiang Chen's young appearance, he couldn't help but frown: "This little Taoist priest, I wonder how sure you are of curing my son's disease?"
"Five points." Jiang Chen said calmly: "Before I see the patient, I am only five points sure. The remaining five points can only be made after I see the patient."
Mr. Liu has seen a lot of great immortals, Taoist priests, and eminent monks during this period. They all boasted brilliantly at the beginning, but in the end they were helpless, which made him disgusted with these so-called masters. At this moment, what Jiang Chen said Being modest, he felt a little more trusting and said, "In that case, please follow me to the nursery."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Jiang Chen nodded, and then followed Mr. Liu towards Liu Xun's room. The Liu family's mansion was quite large, and Liu Xun's room was in the backyard. When the group arrived, they saw something in the backyard. , whether it is trees, flowers, grass, or fences and rockeries, they are all covered with large and small talismans.
Jiang Chen glanced over with a strange look on his face, which made Mr. Liu feel guilty for a while, and he said: "These are left by the previous eminent monks, Taoist priests, and immortals. They said they can prevent monsters from entering the Liu family..."
"They are all useless." Jiang Chen sneered inexplicably. Then, he slightly raised his hand and gently twirled his palm. Suddenly, all the talismans in the courtyard, large and small, all over the place were sneered at the same time. It ignites spontaneously, but in just one breath, it burns completely.
"This..." Mr. Liu couldn't help being stunned when he saw this, but Wang Erlang said with a proud smile: "How about it, believe me now, I said, this Zhi Qiudao I invited "Chief, how can a master with magical powers be comparable to those ordinary Taoist monks?"
"Erlang is absolutely right, Zhiqiu Taoist Changguo has magical powers!" After coming back to his senses, Mr. Liu immediately echoed, and even his title was directly upgraded from 'Little Taoist Master' to 'Zhiqiu Taoist Master'. Between words, He was even more delighted. After all, the greater Jiang Chen's ability, the greater his hope of curing his son.
The group of people kept moving forward, and many of the talismans they encountered along the way spontaneously ignited into ashes in the shortest possible time. Not long after, they arrived at the small courtyard where Liu Xun lived. Before they even entered the door, a strong smell of alcohol hit their faces. Come, Mr. Liu said with a bit of a sigh: "Master Zhiqiu, this is the courtyard of the child. I think Erlang has told you about his illness. You have to go in and see for yourself."
"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded lightly, and then, under the guidance of Mr. Liu himself, Jiang Chen walked through the courtyard and came to the door of the inner room. Liu Qi had already shouted loudly: "Xiao Hong, hurry up Open the door, Second Young Master Wang has invited a Taoist master to treat the young master!"
Hearing Liu Qi's call, the door creaked open from the inside. Immediately, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old maid in red poked her head out and said with a bit of sneer: "Another Taoist master, don't follow me." It's the same as last time. The disease was not cured, but he made himself drunk, causing our young master to suffer together."
"Stop talking nonsense!" After hearing this, Mr. Liu shouted loudly, "Zhiqiu Daochang is a real Taoist master. How can he compare to those fake magic sticks before? Hurry and retreat."
"Master!" Seeing that it was Master Liu who was scolding her, Xiaohong was immediately startled, and quickly lowered her head and stepped aside. However, the look in Jiang Chen's eyes still held a bit of contempt and doubt. Obviously, she I no longer want to believe in Taoist priests or eminent monks.
Jiang Chen glanced at her, tilted the corner of his mouth slightly upward, and hinted at a slight smile. Then, he entered the room under the guidance of Mr. Liu.
The huge room was like countless wine jars that had been knocked over. The air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, which gave people the illusion of drinking a glass of strong wine. After a while, Mr. Liu and Wang Erlang His face was already flushed, but Liu Qi, who was quite capable, still looked as normal at this moment.
Through the air filled with the smell of alcohol, it was clearly visible that on the inside of the room, on the bed by the window, there lay a young man with a sallow complexion and skinny muscles. He didn't know how much wine he drank. His belly was swollen and round, like a pregnant woman's ten-month pregnancy. At this moment, I was in a state of unconscious drunkenness, but I was still shouting: "Wine, wine, bring the wine..."
