The moon hangs high in the night sky, and strange energy manifests!

Qu Tujin: "Daoist Master, is there any progress?"

"The county magistrate gave me a death order: solve the case within a specified time, or I'll be in serious trouble."

Qu Tujin forced a smile, but couldn't shed a tear.

What kind of situation is this?

This case of wiping out an entire family was not supervised by the county magistrate, nor were the Eagle Banner troops stationed there. The county magistrate, under pressure from the Hu clan in the county, demanded that the case be solved within a specified time.

The word "official" has two mouths, and each level puts pressure on the next; he now has a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Pei Si stared intently at Qu Tu Jin, and after a moment, suddenly laughed: "Chief Qu, calm down, do as I say, and I'll rid you of this evil spirit tonight!"

"Really?!" Qu Tujin jumped three feet high. Finally, there was a turning point. As expected of the Taoist priest of Tianshi Cave, he really has the ability!

Qu Tu Jin mentally gave Pei Si a thumbs up, "Daoist Master, please give your instructions. As long as it can be resolved, I'll do it for you, not just one thing, but a hundred!"

"Why is this Taoist priest looking at me like that? What's going on?" Qu Tu Jin wondered to himself.

…………

The inn, a room on the top floor.

In front of Pei Si was a small jar containing 'Yin Sha Mud'.

Just now, when examining Qu Tujin's face, Pei Si observed his forehead, the area above his head, and his divine light.

When he arrived, he saw that Qu Tujin's face was sallow, his forehead was dark, and his eyes were unfocused, making him look like a villain.

Ever since he went to Niping Hutong and searched through Hu Shouqian's house.

Next, consider the flexural aspect.

A yellow aura spreads, withered trees come back to life, the spirit returns to its place, and eyes become clear and bright.

Bad things can turn into good things, and misfortune can turn into good fortune.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...

Pei Si unscrewed the lid, scooped out the 'Yin Sha Mud', and smeared it on his body until it was completely absorbed by his skin. His living aura was suppressed, and Pei Si resembled a great evil spirit.

Taking advantage of a moment of free time, Pei Si took out the jade slip containing the secret technique of the substitute life puppet. After checking it and finding no restrictions, Pei Si's eyes became clear, and he entered a meditative state.

"Qi Refiner Proficiency +1..."

After a while, Pei Si put away the jade slip and said in a low voice, "It's not enough to just have the [Proficiency in Paper Making]; we also need to add [Use it for my own purposes]."

The current hurdle lies in meeting the promotion requirements for the [Paper Craftsman]!

Pei Si set up a monkey-embracing-the-moon stance, supplemented with the flesh and blood of a spirit, and began to refine his qi and blood.

Qi and blood flow like thunder, vibrating and resonating within the meridians.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye. The Qi and blood that circulated through the twelve meridians and the Ren and Du meridians finally converged like all rivers flowing into the sea.

A furnace-like form slowly took shape between the dantian and the heart, forging qi and blood. As qi and blood flowed in and out, it seemed to be purifying impurities, and strands of golden threads appeared in the meridians.

Qi and Blood Furnace!

Those strands of blood mixed with golden threads are called "True Blood Yuan Gang". Once the blood and qi in the whole body are transformed into "True Blood Yuan Gang", one can break through the Outer Gang realm!

The fuel for this blood and qi furnace can be medicinal herbs, the flesh and blood of spirits and monsters, or even the blood and qi of battle!

Pei Si was thrilled to have reached the Qi and Blood Furnace Realm. Once things were settled here, he would go and challenge other martial arts schools to advance his [Martial Artist] level!

The moon hangs high in the night sky.

Pei Si stood by the window, arms crossed, his gaze deep.

"The weather is dry, so be careful with fire!"

The night watchman carried a gong and drum, banging the gong and shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Achoo!" The night watchman sneezed, pinched his nose with his fingers, and flicked it down, producing a large, sticky, yellow snot.

The night watchman, seemingly unconcerned, wiped his fingers with his rags, hunched his shoulders, and complained, "This damn weather, it's fucking cold."

"Of all the bad luck I've had, I drew the lot for night duty!"

"How wonderful it would be to have a pot of hot noodle soup right now!"

"Mud Bottle Alley, tsk, that's a bad omen, I'd better stay away from it."

At this time, two constables were still guarding the entrance to the alley.

The night watchman spat, stamped his foot, and hurried away from the area.

Suddenly.

The night watchman froze, his hair stood on end, and a chill ran down his spine and straight to the back of his head.

It seemed like something had just breathed into his ear.

"Come on, Wang Er, you're off duty now. Come here and have a bowl of hot noodle soup to warm yourself up!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice reached Wang Er's ears. He rubbed his eyes and saw a small stall set up not far in front of him.

A small, yellowish oil lamp hung on the stall, emitting a reassuring orange glow, making it seem like a sanctuary in this dark place.

The stall owner was hand-pulling noodles, a large pot of boiling water was steaming, there were four or five small square tables and stools on the ground, and his colleagues were hurriedly drinking noodles and loudly calling him over.

Wang Er hesitated slightly. Wasn't he on night duty just now?

How could this be... how could this be...

A cold wind blew up, and feathers fell to the ground unexpectedly.

In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with a layer of silver.

It's snowing! It's snowing heavily!

Wang Er couldn't help but shiver; it was damn cold.

"Wang Er, what are you standing there for? Come and eat some noodle soup!"

"Can't you even afford a bowl of noodle soup? How much does a bowl of noodle soup cost? Brother Wang, remember this: you won't go broke from eating."

"Exactly! We eat and drink as much as we want, and if we don't have money, we buy on credit!"

Faced with his colleagues' enthusiastic invitation, Wang Er rubbed his hands together and breathed out a warm breath: "Come, come, I'm coming right now."

Wang Er took a step as if possessed, his foot creaking on the ground.

The bowl of noodle soup seemed to grow larger in Wang Er's eyes. He reached out to pick it up.

In the blink of an eye, a ray of cold light shot out.

With a bang.

A throwing knife was pinned to the table with such force that it penetrated deep into the wood.

Wang Er exclaimed in surprise and looked up at the sky.

The moon hangs high in the night sky, its light spilling onto the eaves.

A tall, thin man in a straw hat stood on the rooftop, head bowed, one hand resting on the hilt of his sword, standing silently.

He raised his head slightly, and a white sheep's face came into Wang Er's view.

Wang Er shivered for no reason. For some reason, his legs trembled uncontrollably when he saw the man in the bamboo hat.

Pei Si's eyes narrowed slightly beneath his mask, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Gotcha!"

A wisp of pure energy manifested.

"Boom!"

"Hiss~"

The sound of galloping hooves startled Wang Er, who stumbled. Where did these cavalry come from?

In Pei Si's eyes, dozens of [Investigating Scouts] swarmed in from all directions, wielding binding chains with cinnabar runes engraved on them, such as "Manifestation" and "Suppressing Evil".

"blockade!"

All the [Investigating Scouts and Hooks] shouted in unison.

The Heavenly Warriors and the Qi-Gathering and Qi-Eating Officials manifested beside Pei Si.

The [Investigating Scourge] gathered, constantly compressing the space occupied by the servants' treacherous energy.

The binding chains crossed, and the cinnabar runes on them glowed red.

The servant's sinister aura has manifested!

First, a pool of flowing dark patterns appeared.

Then, the skeleton is highlighted and the outline is drawn.

Extremely tall and thin, with slightly pointed ears and extremely long limbs, its slender fingers can touch the ground. From a distance, it looks like a dark, smoky shadow.

His face was semi-transparent, with twisted incantations flowing slowly across it, and two points of bone-white cold fire suddenly lit up.

The long sword was drawn.

Pei Si slowly said, "Kill!"
