Jiang Li looked up at the sky. The dark clouds that had come from nowhere had completely covered the sky, making the evening extremely dark and depressing.

"Shopkeeper, please be kind and give us a room upstairs!"

When Jiang Li walked into the inn, a woman in red and a maid were talking to the innkeeper.

However, because Jiang Li brought more than thirty people to stay at once, the inn was full, so they probably couldn't book a room.

"My wife is visiting her parents, but it's getting dark and it's going to rain. Please, owner, please be kind and don't let us go upstairs."

It is also a custom for a woman to go home to visit her parents. Within three months after getting married, she should go back to her parents' home to visit them and express her longing for them.

But the time to go home is somewhat particular. It is best when the sun rises in the morning, with purple air coming from the east and full of vitality, which is a good sign.

At noon when the sun is at its hottest, the Yang energy is strong, which means peace. This is the second best.

The time of nightfall is considered taboo in the customs. In addition, the sky is overcast now, so going home now would be considered a bad omen, which is absolutely unacceptable.

If she were to meet heartless parents, they would probably not even let their own daughter into the house.

That's why these two came to this inn, wanting to rest for a night and go home early tomorrow morning.

"Madam, please don't make things difficult for us. We really don't have any guest rooms. Otherwise, why would we deliberately not do business?"

The boss kept making excuses.

The mark left by Jiang Li on his wrist was still clearly visible. That was a "magic trick". Although it didn't hurt, he firmly believed that if he didn't obey, he would die on the spot.

Therefore, he dared not to offend Jiang Li again and asked his people to move out.

"What happened?"

Jiang Li walked into the inn and asked.

The boss immediately left the two of them behind, ran to Jiang Li, bowed, and told him everything.

Jiang Li looked at the two people. People in this era married early, and the age of the lady and the maid was not much older than him.

"Let the men squeeze in and make room for them in a guest room."

He threw two identification spells over, but found nothing unusual. He also didn't intend to make things difficult for the two women, so he gave them a favor.

"Yes! Master Immortal!"

The shop owner bowed again and agreed.

The two women over there heard this, turned around, and thanked him.

However, as soon as they turned around, Jiang Li was immediately disappointed.

"Novels are really lies. How can it be possible that every person I meet is a beauty? Forget it, I will go back and meditate."

He muttered in his heart, waved his hand, and went back to the upper room.

. . . .

Putting aside his thoughts and concentrating on meditation, Jiang Li soon entered into the listening of the Heart Sutra of Avalokitesvara.

Although this Heart Sutra is still seriously incomplete, Jiang Li has already deeply experienced its magical aspects.

This Heart Sutra seems to have a deep connection with someone who has incarnated three thousand times! So far, Jiang Li's progress in passing on the sutra is less than one-third of the way through, but his daily recitation has unexpectedly made his other two spells progress by leaps and bounds.

Those are two minor techniques that are related to the method of incarnation, the technique of corpse puppetry, and the Five-Power Divine Art!

The seed of the puppet technique is more deeply rooted, and while the control is stronger, it can also transfer spiritual energy from the body to the zombie. Although the spiritual energy transferred is limited, it can already significantly increase the puppet.

The Five-Power God has made even greater progress. In a short period of time, he has mastered all five powers: eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and tongue. Although he is not as good as Elder Weng Sanqi, who can control dozens of puppets at the same time, under his control, the puppets' words and actions are no different from those of ordinary people.

Moreover, Guanyin! She can see the sounds of all things in the world! This Heart Sutra is particularly good at observing and exploring the outside world! As Jiang Li followed the voice in the dark, he began to chant the Guanyin Heart Sutra.

His ears gradually became more sensitive, and all the extremely tiny sounds around him were clearly heard by him.

A world made up of sounds quickly took shape in his sea of ​​consciousness.

In the shadow of the corner, a cockroach was gnawing on rice grains that had fallen a few days ago.

In the gap of the wooden window, a fly smelled the food and was twisting its body trying to squeeze into the room.

In the next room, two guys were wiping the dust and stains on the table with a wet rag. . .

The sounds that came into his ears became clearer and clearer, and the range of Jiang Li's hearing became larger and larger. Soon, several familiar voices came into his ears.

"Da Qiang, what are you afraid of? Can he still hear me from such a distance?"

"But...but do we really want to do this? We can't beat that guy."

"Yes, even Wu Han in the late stage of Qi training was not his match, so how could we stand a chance? What's more, he has the contract in his hand."

Jiang Li heard the voices of those three guys, and it sounded like they were still plotting something, so he immediately paid some attention to them.

"No, I suspect that boy is not that powerful at all!"

One of them said this in a "wise" tone.

"What do you mean? Come on! Tell me in detail!"

The other two immediately perked up and asked quickly.

"Didn't you notice that Jiang Li's way of walking became a little strange after entering the city?"

"Now that you mention it, I remember it. He didn't seem to walk like this at first, but then he suddenly walked slower and...more stiffly."

The other two also noticed that Jiang Li was acting strangely, but they didn't understand the reason.

“It’s a pill!”

"Pills?" The other two were still confused.

"That's right. We have inquired before. Jiang Li is actually a registered disciple of the Alchemy Hall. He must have a lot of elixirs on him."

"Aren't you wondering how he, a mid-stage Qi training man, could kill Wu Han? I suspect he must have taken some kind of explosive elixir to become so powerful."

"It wasn't that he didn't want to kill us at the time, but he no longer had the ability to kill us, so he tricked us into signing that contract!"

"Then do you remember that he deliberately avoided us and stayed alone for a few moments? That must be the side effect of the pill, and he needed to take other pills to suppress it!"

"Later, his movements became slow and he stayed in his room all the time. I'm sure he must be very weak now and has no strength at all!"

The other two people thought about what he said and suddenly realized it at the same time, and then a wave of anger rushed into their hearts.

"Damn it! We have fallen into his trap!"

Naturally, they felt extremely angry because they were tricked into signing such a contract by a spent force.

"But now the contract is in his hands, there is nothing we can do?"

"That's why we have to plan ahead and wait until he lets his guard down before striking back! By then, we'll let him have a taste of what it's like to sign a contract to sell himself!"

"Yes, let's hang him up again, just as he said, and hang him lower! Let him not be afraid of heights!"

If Jiang Li puts some thought into giving them psychological counseling, it won't be difficult to win them over to the point where they can be relied upon.

But Jiang Li did not do that. The three of them were actually baits used by Jiang Li to test an idea.

The chances of surviving in the end were not high, so it was not worth the effort.

As Jiang Li was teaching and practicing, and as they were plotting, the sky darkened completely.

They didn't know yet that in some dark corner, several pairs of eyes were quietly staring at them.

. . . .

At night, under the cover of dark clouds, the Yunxi City was completely dark.

Only this inn still had the lights on, and the kitchen was bustling with activity, no one dared to slack off at all.

Various exquisite dishes and bowls were brought to the dining table one by one, and jars of fine wine had their seals removed and were half-mixed with water and placed aside.

Jiang Li specifically ordered that water be added to the wine to prevent the monsters from getting too drunk and being unable to help him.

Soon, pairs of black bamboo chopsticks were neatly placed on the twenty eight-person tables, waiting for the guests' good news.

The aroma of meat mixed with wine spread from far away. The children next door couldn't resist the greed and moved away overnight.

finally.

Dong, dong, dong, dong! The watch struck four times, and the midnight hour had passed! In the darkness, pairs of glowing eyes lit up. Although no one was walking on the road, a noisy sound suddenly arose, and it was as noisy as a busy street.

Various monster guests presented gifts and took their seats. The twenty eight-person tables were soon filled to the brim.

Jiang Li still underestimated the enthusiasm of these monsters, and hurriedly ordered his men to add more dining tables and seats. He also knocked on the doors of several restaurants overnight and asked them to light the stoves and help cook.

However, delicious food is a great temptation to these monsters, but gold and silver are even more tempting to them.

Jiang Li only saw countless black shadows queuing up to exchange gold and silver, pouring into the bamboo shed like water, eating quickly for a while, and then leaving from the other side like water, and hurried to catch ghosts and spirits.

Jiang Li looked at him with joy; this scene was much better than he had expected.

But... He felt a strong sense of disobedience in his heart.

Something seemed to be wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

It was not until two hours later that the innkeeper hurried upstairs and said something to Jiang Li that he suddenly realized what was going on! "Master Immortal! Master Immortal! Something bad has happened!"

"That silver! It's almost not enough!"

Jiang Li was stunned on the spot. Seven hundred thousand taels of silver... Not enough!? Wait!

Five taels of silver for a ghost, five taels of silver for a living soul... Could it be that they captured nearly 70,000 souls in one night!? This is impossible!

Jiang Li’s first reaction was disbelief!

I suspect that those three guys were dishonest and gave out too much silver.

After all, a normal soul, without the nourishment of Yin energy, will completely dissipate in just seven days.

How could such a large number of souls appear in such a short period of time in a city with a population of only 400,000?

But thinking about the endlessly moving long dragon of monsters, it seems to be the case.

He walked to the window and looked out at Yunxi City in the dark night.

"Elder Duan Shuang...what on earth did you do in this city!"

There will be more later, please vote here!
