The afternoon sun shines on the courtyard, making it warm and comfortable.
Su Yi was sitting in a bamboo chair, tying up a bunch of green wickers.
The courtyard has been thoroughly swept and is spacious and clean.
Hu Quan also carefully purchased bedding, toiletries and other items, and repaired the vegetable bed and pergola.
Wu Guangbin and three other doctors have returned to Xinghuang Medical Center for consultation.
On the contrary, Su Yi, the shopkeeper, felt at ease.
"Brother Su, what is this rooster used for?"
Not far away, Huang Ganjun was boredly teasing a rooster he had just bought.
This bird is extremely ferocious, has sharp claws and a sharp beak, walks like the wind, and crows loudly.
Huang Ganjun took more than ten servants with him and dug almost three feet of the ground in the city market before they found such a majestic and powerful rooster.
"Kill and bleed."
Su Yi ordered casually.
After what happened today, he suddenly discovered that it would be good to have a handyman by his side, which could save a lot of time and energy.
"okay."
Huang Ganjun took out a short knife from his waist and began to work.
Not long after, a bowl of bright red chicken blood was brought to Su Yi.
"Okay, it's none of your business anymore, you can go home."
Su Yi picked up a bundle of tied willow sticks and dipped the willow tips into the bowl of chicken blood little by little. The green leaves and scarlet blood smeared together, which was particularly eye-catching.
Huang Ganjun hesitated and said: "Brother Su, in my opinion, you have kicked out all the people who worked for Wen Changqing at Xinghuang Medical Center. If Wen Changqing knew about it, he would definitely not let it go. Do you want me to go to my father to warn him?" Wen Changqing?"
Su Yi glanced at him and said: "If you are interested, go and find out for me which family in Guangling City is the best at forging weapons."
Huang Qianjun perked up and said: "Brother Su, this is easy to handle. Our Huang family has a monopoly on the weapon refining business in the city. There are more than thirty weapon refining masters! What kind of weapons do you want to refine? Just say it, I promise to have the best weapon refiner work for you!"
Only then did Su Yi realize that of the three major clans in Guangling City, the Wen family monopolized the medicinal herb business, the Li family monopolized the grain and grain business, and the Huang family monopolized the weapon refining business.
"I plan to make a sword." Su Yi said.
Huang Ganjun suddenly laughed and said: "Forging swords? Then go find Wang Tianyang. Mr. Wang's sword-making skills are one of the best in Guangling City. Many people from outside come here just to ask for a good sword from Mr. Wang. .”
Su Yi nodded and said, "Come here tomorrow morning and take me to see him."
Huang Qianjun readily agreed and said, "Brother Su, is there anything else?"
When it comes to working for Su Yi, he is extremely enthusiastic.
"Go home now."
Su Yi waved his hand.
"Brother Su, then I'll come back tomorrow."
Huang Qianjun then bowed and left.
He is very sensible, and if he sticks to Su Yi's side all the time, he will also annoy him.
Just like when he used to visit a brothel, the most annoying thing was the followers his father sent to him...
After soaking the bundled willow sticks in the rooster's blood, Su Yi picked up a knife and started chopping a three-foot-long piece of green peach wood.
As the fine wood chips peeled off, a mahogany sword soon took shape.
Then, Su Yi stood up from the bamboo chair, held the mahogany sword in front of his eyes, looked at it, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Just waiting for tonight."
Su Yi waved the mahogany sword casually and glanced at the green wicker soaked in the rooster's blood.
His eyes immediately moved and fell on the old locust tree not far from the courtyard. The locust tree is the ghost in the tree!
This tree belongs to the yin category and is most likely to attract ghosts and evil spirits to live on it.
However, the bad layout of this courtyard is on the side of the locust tree. There is a well dug out, and the evil energy rising underground will only turn this courtyard into a "haunted house" in the eyes of ordinary people.
"This well has obviously been sealed off. It seems that someone had already noticed that there was something wrong with this well."
"But unfortunately, no one told me this..."
Su Yi was thoughtful.
…
Writer.
Wen Changqing's residence.
"Father, I just got the news that on the first day that bastard Su Yi took over the business of Xinghuang Medical Center, he kicked all the servants of our family away. Isn't this a slap in our family's face?"
Wen Jieyuan said angrily.
He is the son of Wen Changqing. He is nineteen years old, full of vigor, and possesses the cultivation level of "Meat Refining" in the Blood Moving Realm. In half a year, he will go to Qinghe Sword Mansion to practice.
"I didn't expect that this piece of trash could be so cruel."
Wen Changqing frowned and asked, "Where is he now?"
Wen Jieyuan said: "It is said that he settled in the haunted house behind Xinghuang Medical Center."
"Um?"
Wen Changqing's eyes flashed with strange color, and his frown relaxed, and he said, "If that's the case, there's no need for us to do anything. I'm afraid that loser won't survive tonight!"
"Why is this?" Wen Jieyuan was startled.
Wen Changqing recalled: "Nine years ago, a tragedy occurred in that haunted house. A doctor and two pharmacists who lived there all died suddenly and mysteriously overnight."
"This incident caused an uproar in the city and seriously affected the business of our Xinghuang Medical Clinic."
"I spent a lot of money to hire a well-known traveling Taoist priest."
"This person's name is Wu Ruoqiu. When he entered the haunted house and took a look, he said that there was a vicious ghost attached to the well next to the old locust tree!"
"According to Taoist Wu, no one can conquer that ghost unless they have the cultivation level of a master!"
Hearing this, Wen Jieyuan was shocked and said: "What happened next?"
Wen Changqing said: "Taoist Wu asked me to forge a batch of chains and seal the well with strange secret techniques. He said that as long as no living person lives in that courtyard, the ghost will not appear again."
When Wen Jieyuan heard this, he suddenly understood, "So, as long as Su Yi lives in that haunted house tonight, he will definitely die?"
Wen Changqing laughed and said, "It should be so. This year, I have never understood why the old lady insisted on Lingzhao marrying this Su Yi. But no matter what, if Su Yi dies, it will be a disaster for our Wen family.
It can be considered a good thing."
Wen Jieyuan nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, now cousin Lingzhao is about to become a 'grandmaster's disciple'. How can this status be matched by that good-for-nothing Su Yi? As long as he dies, it will be a good thing for cousin Lingzhao."
.”
Wen Changqing's expression suddenly became serious and he said: "This matter must not be leaked to other people. Otherwise, if others know, we know that there is a problem in the haunted house but do not remind Su Yi, it is inevitable that we will be implicated."
Wen Jieyuan agreed with a smile, "I understand, this is asking him to commit suicide. Do you really think that Xinghuang Medical Clinic is so easy to get? Speaking of which, the person who killed Su Yi should be his mother-in-law Qin Qing."
Wen Changqing scolded: "Don't be presumptuous. That is your third aunt and Lingzhao's mother. Remember to be more respectful in the future!"
Wen Jieyuan nodded disapprovingly.
Night gradually falls.
After a busy day, Xinghuang Medical Clinic has closed its doors.
In the courtyard, Su Yi was sitting alone in a room, breathing and meditating. Qi and blood were flowing around her body, constantly kneading the fascia of her body.
This is the vomiting and breathing method at the third level of "refining tendons" in the blood-moving realm.
The so-called muscle training is to use Qi and blood to temper the fascia of the body, making it as tough as a bow string and as soft as cotton wool, thereby making the body as flexible as a civet cat.
It is said to rise like an arrow, fall like the wind, move like a raccoon cat, and can do things that are difficult for ordinary people to do.
The core of all this is "training".
After the fascia is exercised, the strength of the whole body will skyrocket.
In the practice of moving blood, it has been recognized since ancient times that "it is easy to train skin and flesh, but it is difficult to train muscles and bones." When you start to train muscles, it means that you have reached the late stage of moving blood.
After a long time, Su Yi stood up from meditating and drank the prepared cup of ginseng tea in one gulp. Feeling the boiling power that warmed his whole body, he couldn't help but look forward to tonight's action.
Since his reincarnation, he has never actually fought in a real sense.
Who would have thought that the first opponent might be a ghost?
Next, Su Yi picked up the bundled wicker sticks and peach wood sword, walked out of the room, moved a bamboo chair, and sat casually in front of the stone steps.
The bundle of willow branches had been soaked in the rooster's blood for several hours, and the green willow leaves and branches were faintly tinged with blood. When held in the hand, it looked like a soft whip.
The peach wood sword was leaned against the side of the bamboo chair by Su Yi.
When he really needs to draw his sword, it means he needs to take action.
"In any other blood-moving realm, even if I encounter ordinary ghosts, I'm afraid I won't be my opponent. However, I had a fight with the Ghost King of Ximing in my previous life. He was willing to admit defeat and obediently gave me a copy of the "Ten Directions Shura Sutra"
Give me, it is said to be the supreme Taoist scripture in the eyes of a ghost cultivator..."
Su Yi sat there, his thoughts racing.
The night breeze blows, and the sky becomes darker and darker.
It was almost early in the morning, and the lights on the streets of Guangling City were gradually extinguished, and darkness was like a tide, flooding the earth.
The whole city seemed to have subsided from the excitement and fell into sleep, with only the occasional dog barking coming from the distance.
The sky is thick with dark clouds tonight, covering up the stars.
In the courtyard where Su Yi was, there was only one candle flickering in the room, which looked dim and dim through the window paper.
Holding a wicker in his hand, he sat quietly alone in the darkness of the night, unhurried, calm and tranquil.
There was only a little bit of expectation in those eyes.
Suddenly, the branches of the old locust tree in the courtyard swayed and the leaves rustled, just like whispers coming from far and near in the night.
On one side of the ancient well, the rusty chains binding the manhole cover were like a group of awakened snakes, rubbing against each other and squirming, making a neighing sound like a night owl, which was heartbreaking.
The air suddenly turned cold, like a midwinter cold wave invading, stabbing your bones.
Phew~
On the ground, a gust of fallen locust leaves were picked up by a gust of wind as soon as they fell, flying in the ink-like night, like countless shadows dancing wildly.
Su Yi's green robe was blown by the wind.
His pupils also narrowed slightly.
When a dark wind blew the fallen leaves, he finally moved.
He raised his right arm and flicked his wrist.
A bundle of soft willow sticks with a faint blood-colored sheen suddenly straightened and whipped down in the void.
Snapped!
It sounded like thunder, exploding in the night.
