"Is there a big job?"
Li Yan heard it and immediately became interested.
He put on his clothes in a few moments and pushed out the door.
It's snowing outside and clearing up, and the whole courtyard is covered in silver.
Sha LiFei also smelled of alcohol, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was walking towards the house of Wang Dao Xuan, crunching on the snow.
Seeing Li Yan come out, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Sha LiFei's face, "Yan XiaoGe, how was the scenery Flower Calyx Tower last night?"
"Not bad, worth a visit."
Li Yan raised his eyebrows, nodded and smiled.
Sha LiFei had been thinking about it for a long time. Hearing this, his face was full of remorse and he cursed, "It's all my fault that those grandsons from the dental shop are so drunk that they kill themselves. Otherwise, I would have gone there last night."
"By the way, how much did it cost?"
Li Yan subconsciously touched his empty pocket.
"It's all gone."
"What?!" Sha LiFei said as if struck by lightning, "You... didn't you bring a thousand taels with you and it's gone?"
Li Yan sighed, "You can't help spending money."
Shen SanYou, although he is said to be reliable when taking action, and he learned a lot last night, he is really a waste of money if he is not serious.
This guy doesn't regard money as money at all.
Don't worry about your own or other people's. You have to spend all your money and Gan Er your money before you leave.
"That's all, it doesn't matter..."
Sha LiFei groped his heart twice and comforted himself, "After all, that is Flower Calyx Tower. Returning the favor also makes you Yan XiaoGe a man."
As he said that, he became interested again, "Which girl did you fall into? I heard that Flower Calyx Tower is full of flowers, including Yangzhou thin horses, Auntie Mizhi, and Orchid from the Western Regions..."
Li Yan shook his head and said, "No, just drinking and listening to music, nothing else."
"What?!"
"It cost a thousand taels, but I didn't even get the girl's bed!"
Sha LiFei was furious at this and was trembling with anger, "You must have been taken advantage of. You... are you worthy of your father? He can walk around in a brothel without spending any money!"
Li Yan laughed dumbly, "Stop talking about this, Uncle Sha is so happy, what big job did you take?"
Wang Dao Xuan had also gone out at this time. When he saw this, he smiled and said, "Yes, it is already approaching the New Year, why is there still a big job?"
No wonder the two were confused, this is Chang'an!
This is the largest She Ling Soldiers station in the northwest of City God Temple, Divine Land. It regularly searches the mountains and patrols, catches five gangsters, and releases flames... to bless the peace of the northwest of Divine Land.
Not to mention, there are many Dharma lineage and side sect monks.
Especially during the previous winter solstice, Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect had just launched a big operation. Several big caves united with City God Temple from all over the country to hold a great ritual to suppress evil spirits and sweep the entire area north of the Qinling Mountains.
This is a habit formed over the years.
During the Chinese New Year in ancient times, the four seasons of yin and yang alternated. People Nuo Dance drove away evil spirits and avoided the Nian beast. Now, they take advantage of the winter solstice to do this first, so that the Chinese New Year is very peaceful.
It's equivalent to a severe crackdown years ago.
Therefore, Xuanmen is also very quiet during the Chinese New Year.
"Remember Hall Master Bai from Yaxing?"
Sha LiFei smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that I got some news from him. If it's done, we can have a good year..."
Chang'an Southwest, Wei River plain is vast.
After a heavy snowfall, the entire plain was covered with a white blanket, and the sky was vast and the sky was vast.
On Official Road, several riders were galloping, and snow was splashing everywhere.
"Everyone, in front of you is GuoDu Town."
The person leading the way was a disciple of Ya Xing, who was eloquent and knew all the ways in Chang'an City. He said with a smile on his face, "Everyone, this GuoDu Town is not simple. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was Ancient Bo State, King Wen of Zhou, King Wu, the burial place of King Mu."
"Later, the two surnames Guo and Du moved here, Guo Family Village in the south of the town, Du Family Fortress in the north of the town, collectively known as GuoDu Town."
"By the way, Xiangji Temple is also here. Tang Era Wang Mojie has poems. I don't know if Xiangji Temple has entered Yunfeng several miles away..."
"Okay, okay!"
Sha LiFei interrupted him and said impatiently, "Guanzhong This piece of land lacks everything except celebrity allusions."
"What do you mean by saying this? Have you ever found out how much money Landlord Du can give?"
"This..."
The young man choked, but he did not dare to offend a few people, and said with a smile, "Then Landlord Du has a huge wealth. Not only does Guanzhong have a large field, but he also went to sea with the Li family and gained a lot."
"He is a man who has no worries about money. Now he is as anxious as a headless fly. If he can find someone, it is not up to you to decide how much he will give."
"Then hurry up, don't let others get the first step."
Sha LiFei became anxious upon hearing this, shook the reins, and accelerated his horse.
Soon, a sizable town appeared in front of everyone, with Official Road running smoothly from east to west, north and south, surrounded by rolling hills, and Wei River tributaries passing through it. The geographical location was extremely advantageous.
The town itself has many inns and carriage shops for travelers and merchants to rest, and the people have benefited a lot from it. It is considered the richest town near Chang'an.
It's winter now, the road is blocked by heavy snow, and there are not many passers-by on Official Road.
After several people entered the town, they were not in a hurry to find an inn to stay. Instead, they headed directly to the north of the town under the leadership of the disciples of Yixing.
After leaving the town, I saw a large-scale mansion standing alone in the fertile fields. It was several times larger than the one outside Lu Yuan in Gushui Village. The high-walled compound was very impressive.
"Hi-!"
Wang Dao Xuan looked at the hills and rivers in the distance, then looked around, held the hand in hand, and gasped, "This house has been decorated by an expert."
Sha LiFei asked, "Master Dao, what do you say?"
Wang Dao Xuan looked around, "Generally speaking, this lonely house in the wilderness is not good. It is not nourished by the popularity of the town, but it is built here and cleverly uses the mountains and terrain to form Dripping Marrow Formation."
"Look to the west, it should be Ancient Haojing, Dragon Head Plain is to the north, and the drinking water Wei River flows here, just cut off by the terrain of Ancient Haojing. The Du family was built here, like a jade bowl, and the dragon marrow drips."
"Although there is only a little bit, it is still a blessed place."
"Master Dao is amazing!"
The disciple of Yahang quickly flattered him, "The Du family used to be ordinary. The old house was in the town. But since this house was built, the situation has been getting better and better every year."
Wang Dao Xuan shook his head and said, "Yes, but it is not good for us. Since we know such an expert, we will probably go there in vain."
Li Yan shook his left hand and said thoughtfully, "Let's go, take a look first and then talk."
Just now, Gou Liao responded.
Although it was weak and fleeting, it still made him interested.
Could it be that there is a hidden criminal here?
As they approached the mansion, everyone immediately realized something was wrong.
The New Year is approaching, and big families like this are very particular about preparing early and killing pigs and sheep, which is very busy.
But now, a huge white lantern hangs on the gate, and many people coming in and out wear white belts to pay their respects, and the atmosphere is very depressing.
"Who are you!"
Before he even got close, servants of the Du family intercepted him. They were all armed with swords, guns and sticks, and looked evil.
The disciple of Yaxing hurriedly dismounted from his horse and stepped forward, smiling apologetically and cupping his hands, saying, "Everyone, Steward Wang is here. Please let me know and say Chang'an Zhao Jiu is here to see you."
The leading servant had a gloomy face and was about to curse angrily, but when he heard the name Steward Wang, he still held it back and snorted, "Just wait here, don't wander around."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the mansion.
As he walked away, he cursed in a low voice, "You coward, as soon as something happened, a bunch of dogs came smelling the smell, and none of them can stand up to it..."
"Oh, you!"
Sha LiFei was about to scold him as soon as he heard this, but was stopped by Li Yan with a wave of his hand. He shook his head slightly, indicating that he should hold back for the time being.
"Yan XiaoGe, have a problem?"
Sha LiFei suddenly understood and asked in a low voice.
He knew Li Yan very well and never suffered any loss. It was just that he had been keeping a low profile for a while after he first entered the world, so Ghost's Bane's reputation was not highlighted.
He is just talking about it, if Li Yan is unhappy, he means it.
Being so low-key, he must have discovered something.
"Don't worry, let's take a look..."
Li Yan shook his head slightly, thoughtfully.
As soon as he arrived here, he smelled a strange smell. It was not Yin Soul, but more like something rancid and rotten.
Of course, this smell is very light, and ordinary people don't care at all. Instead, they find the air here refreshing and pleasant.
Not long after, an old man who looked like a butler walked out quickly, still wearing mourning clothes, with a somewhat uncomfortable look on his face.
He hurriedly came to Zhao Jiu in Yaxing and scolded him in a low voice, "Why are you here to join in the fun? I got a lesson from you."
As he said that, he glanced at Li Yan and the three of them, and when he saw Wang Dao Xuan Daoist robe, he suddenly understood. He said with an ugly face, "Take them away quickly, the matter is over."
"Hey hey hey..."
Zhao Jiu is a disciple of Yaxing. He talks nonsense to others and lies to ghosts. No matter how eloquent or shameless he is, he is no worse than Sha LiFei. How could he leave so easily? He grabbed the housekeeper and whispered:
"Steward Wang, you are unreasonable. These are people that Chang'an City can count. It took a lot of effort for me to invite them here."
"You know Fire Bear Gang, after suffering the losses of these people, you still dare not let go of a fart, don't you want my life!"
Of course there is a lot of exaggeration in the words.
This is also a common way of talking in the dental industry.
If you really can't get a job, you have to ask someone to cough up some hard work and travel money. Even if it doesn't work, you have to owe someone a favor.
Of course, he was really anxious.
He was also present on the night of the fight. Although the Li Yan people had just become famous in Xuanmen, in his eyes, they were already great big shots, so how could they dare to let others go out in vain.
Seeing his expression, Steward Wang was also heartbroken. He quickly pulled Zhao Jiu away, muttered for a while, then came to Li Yan and others, cupped his fists and said, "Gentlemen, I'm really sorry, the matter is over. I will go to Chang'an in a few days to serve wine to apologize."
Speaking of which, there is no hope.
Sha LiFei curled his lips and said, "Dele, let's go, they won't even let us in, so what's the point of staying..."
At this moment, Li Yan put his hand behind his back and made a gesture.
"Wait!"
When Wang Dao Xuan saw it, he immediately rode out, looked at the house in the distance, frowned and said, "I'm afraid the matter is not over yet. Steward Wang can give you a report. If Landlord Du really thinks this matter is over, then I will turn around and leave."
Steward Wang was stunned, "What does Daoist Master mean?"
"Alas~"
Wang Dao Xuan shook his head slightly and sighed, "I just can't bear it. That's all. Steward Wang can pass it on. Believe it or not, Landlord Du has the final say."
Sha LiFei also rolled his eyes when he saw this, "Daoist Master, you are still too kind-hearted, and others ignore us, so why bother."
In fact, they both knew nothing.
This is the secret code set between the three people. If Li Yan finds something wrong, he will immediately signal it, and the two of them will cooperate to lay down "Horse-Tying Post".
Seeing the three of them looking like this, Steward Wang was also frightened, his eyes were filled with uncertainty, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "You three, please wait a moment, I'll go and send the message."
After that, he left in a hurry.
After he left, the Yaxing disciple Zhao Jiu immediately gave a thumbs up, "You three, what a great trick."
"Horse-Tying Post" is a trick that a layman can't see, but it can't be concealed from a man like him.
Wang Dao Xuan also quickly whispered, "What did you see?"
Li Yan shook his head and said, "Not yet, we have to go in first."
The three of them got the news that the grandson of Landlord Du had been possessed by an evil spirit. Even calling in a few witches and gods was useless, and he even got lost.
Originally, they wanted to use the Li family's connections to ask Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect to take action, but Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect seemed to have other important matters. All the elites came out, and even Luo MingZi left overnight.
Landlord Du has no choice but to issue a high bounty.
Li Yan There is Smelling Mystical Power. I am familiar with finding someone, so I came over quickly to take a look at the situation.
This Landlord Du is Chang'an's famous big account. If it succeeds, not only will it make a lot of money during the New Year, but its reputation will also be completely opened up.
But looking at the situation now, it seems that things have changed...
After a while, Steward Wang hurried out with a red slap mark on his face, lamenting and complaining. "Guys, you are really hurting me. I invite you to come in, but don't be like the previous few."
Li Yan and others looked at each other, then handed the horses to the Du family's clerk, and under the leadership of Steward Wang, entered the mansion.
Along the way, Li Yan started with his hands behind his back.
Wang Dao Xuan and Sha LiFei were behind, always watching his gestures.
If something is discovered, with a hint, Wang Dao Xuan will observe carefully and make inferences.
Both of them have shortcomings and must cooperate with each other.
However, what puzzled Wang Dao Xuan was that Li Yan never made any move. Looking at the white cloth wrapped around the trees and the servants in mourning clothes, he felt a sigh in his heart.
I'm afraid I'll be late and no one will be there...
Sure enough, when we arrived at the main courtyard, we saw that a mourning hall had been set up inside, but the name written on the tent was the old lady of the Du family.
Sha LiFei and Wang Dao Xuan glanced at each other.
Didn't you say that the grandson was in trouble? Why did the old man go?
Finally, they came to the main hall and saw the Landlord Du.
However, Sha LiFei suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart.
I saw an old man sitting in the main hall, wearing mourning clothes. Although his temples were white, he was tall and tall, with a majestic face. He was Landlord Du.
There are several servants standing in the hall, all of them are full of Bear Waist and Killing Intent.
What's more important is that next to him, sitting on Chief Seat on the left, is a white-robed Daoist. He is the disciple of Shang Mountain Dharma Lineage who failed in the battle that night, Luo Faqing.
The other party looked at them with sneers in their eyes.
And Landlord Du also had a bad look on his face, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said solemnly, "These are all people in the world, so it's normal for Du to play this 'Horse-Tying Post'."
"But if you can't tell me that you are ugly, I will definitely make you look good today!"
