Stepping out of the deep mountains and stepping into the mortal dust, Jiang Chen soon came to the nearby Shangqiu County, in order to facilitate walking in this fairy world, he had already changed into a black robe, carrying the red lin, holding the dust in his hand, although his face looked younger, but after all, he was a master of scattered immortals who had achieved cultivation, and he had an elegant and dusty bearing.

"Well, I have long heard that the literary style of the Song Dynasty was extremely prosperous, and the trade was prosperous, and now it seems that it is really extraordinary" followed the flow of people through the city gate, entered the county seat, walked on the streets, looked at the antique buildings on both sides, and there were vendors selling everywhere, shouting one after another, endlessly, it was really a lively and prosperous scene, and it immediately attracted Jiang Chen's mouth to praise one after another.

Walking through the market and coming to a restaurant, Jiang Chen was thinking about entering it to buy some wine and food, but he never thought that at this time, a shout suddenly came from behind him:

"Wuna Daoist, please stay!"

Jiang Chen turned his head and saw a young man dressed as a family member in Tsing Yi trotting after him from behind, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "Little brother stopped the poor road, but what's the matter?"

"Of course there's something, what should I tell you to do if it's okay?" The third brother is a person who is up and down millions of people every minute!" The family Ding glanced Jiang Chen up and down, his face full of suspicion: "Look at your appearance, are you really a Taoist priest?"

"Of course. Jiang Chen responded indifferently, although he did not have a degree of monkhood, but he was also the inheritance of several Taoist sects such as Maoshan and Kunlun, and he could really be regarded as a Taoist priest.

"Then will you catch ghosts?" The family hurriedly asked again, obviously with a little anxiety in his tone, but after asking, he didn't forget to warn: "You'd better answer honestly, otherwise something will happen at that time, don't blame me Lin Wanrong didn't warn you in advance." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen laughed to himself, and he responded confidently: "What's not going to be, subduing demons and subduing demons, catching ghosts and catching monsters, it is my Taoist's forte, so naturally it is not a problem." This is not an exaggeration, after all, with his current cultivation, unless he meets those old demons who have become enlightened, there are really not many demons and demons in the human world that he can't deal with.

Seeing that he was so confident, the family named Lin Wanrong couldn't help but rejoice: "This is the best, please ask the Taoist chief to come with me, my master is about to ask someone to hunt ghosts and subdue demons." ”

Jiang Chen pretended to groan.

That Lin Wanrong is obviously not a rookie, and he has a lot of attainments in observing words and feelings, so he hurriedly added: "If the Taoist can really subdue the demons, my master will be rewarded heavily, and in addition to money, there is also a gift from the ancestors." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes couldn't help but light up, and then he responded with a somewhat satisfied smile: "In that case, let's lead the way ahead." ”

"Okay!" Lin Wanrong grinned, and immediately led the way, leading Jiang Chen to a large mansion.

Lin Wanrong, nicknamed Lin San, is a member of the Xiao family in Shangqiu, which is a big family in Shangqiu, with hundreds of years of inheritance, rich family wealth and many industries. The Xiao family's mansion is the largest mansion in Shangqiu, but sometimes the house is too big, and there will be problems.

But it is said that the Xiao family has always been not prosperous, and now, there is only one Mrs. Xiao in charge of the house, and this Mrs. Xiao has only two young ladies and a little son under her knees, so that many houses in the house have been idle for a long time and are uninhabited, and the problem is in their idle western house.

Yes, the West Courtyard is haunted!

The matter can be traced back to one night a year ago, that night, there was a sudden burst of crying in the uninhabited West Courtyard, which was full of grievances, like crying and complaining; Mrs. Xiao sent someone to investigate, unexpectedly, the wooden door of the West Courtyard would open and close by itself, "squeaking", very strange.

After the matter spread, the entire Xiao family was panicked, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly invited Taoist priests and monks to come to exorcise evil spirits, but I don't know if those Taoist priests and monks are not strong in mana, or the demons and monsters in the west courtyard are too powerful.

It is also strange to say that those demons and monsters are just entrenched in the West Courtyard, without the slightest intention of expanding outward, and they have never harmed the Xiao family. Whenever I think of this, Mrs. Xiao has trouble sleeping and eating, and this is the ancestral house, so she can't give it up, so she can only offer a heavy reward, looking for Taoist monks everywhere, hoping to subdue the demons in the courtyard.

Jiang Chen has obviously become the target of the Xiao family.

"Here, this is the ancestral house of the Xiao family!" Standing in front of the gate, Lin Wanrong smiled and spoke, and between her words, there was obviously a bit of awe, not in awe of the Xiao family, but in awe of the demons and monsters entrenched in the western courtyard.

Looking at the huge mansion in front of you, the house stretches for nearly a mile, overlapping levels, covering almost half of the street, and the end is the home of the wealthy, which is luxurious!

"Xiao Mansion!"

On the plaque at the main entrance, there are two large characters of ancient seals, the font is flying, the ancient meaning is clear, this ancient seal can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty at the earliest, it can be seen that the Xiao family has a long heritage.

On both sides of the house gate, there is a big stone lion with two people tall, the posture is mighty, the eyes are open, the mane is flying, in ancient times, the big families liked to use it to town houses, deter demons and monsters, but obviously, the Xiao family did not play any role in the stone lions, otherwise, there would be no demons and monsters in the west courtyard of the Xiao family.

In addition to a pair of stone lions, there were also two family guards at the door, and they saw Lin Wanrong leading a young Taoist priest back, and immediately said with a bit of a joke: "Third brother, I didn't expect you to come back so soon, and you also invited back a Taoist master, where did you get it?"

"Right in front of the street. Lin Wanrong replied with a little smile: "I said that I am very good at subduing demons and eliminating demons, so I will take him back to try it." ”

Another older family member said with a somewhat flattering smile: "Then the third brother, you are really going to be developed this time, although this Taoist chief looks younger, but he is a fairy wind and bones, and his bearing is extraordinary, he must not be an idle person, if the demon is successful, Mrs. will definitely reward him, and then the third brother, you must remember to invite us to tea!"

In the past year, all kinds of Taoist priests and monks who have entered and exited the gate of the Xiao family, not a hundred, but dozens of them, have seen too many such characters, and the Xiao family's family members naturally have increased their eyesight, especially the older one, whose eyesight is not bad, he saw Jiang Chen at a glance, and felt that Jiang Chen had a different kind of dusty atmosphere, coupled with the dust in his hands and the light of the sword behind him, it was obviously extraordinary.

Judging from these circumstances, although he had never seen Jiang Chen's methods, he also vaguely guessed that this was probably really a Dao Sect master!

Hearing the other party's words, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but squint and smile, and thought to herself, Master, I am really destiny, this year's gold medal of the Xiao family, it seems that I am the master.

However, he never thought about it, but at this moment, he heard the Ding who opened his mouth before: "I don't think so, the Taoist leader that Xiao Feng led in just now is also very powerful, I heard that it is a real person from the Laoshan faction, the Taoist number is really small, the magic power is profound, the magic power is vast, the best at subduing demons and subduing demons, and I think it is also very capable!"

"Xiao Feng?!" At first hearing this name, Jiang Chen couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

Lin Wanrong's face also changed greatly, and he frowned, and hurriedly asked, "That guy Xiao Feng has also invited a Taoist priest?"

"Not bad. The family Ding smiled and replied, "Just now, before you came back, I heard that Madame was very satisfied with that Zhenwei Daoist. ”

"Damn, I didn't expect that a delay would make this kid take the lead!" Lin Wanrong snorted softly, no longer hesitated at the moment, and hurriedly led Jiang Chen into the door, all the way to the main hall (to be continued. )
