Surrounded by the crowd, Wang Zhengde could clearly distinguish the important and the urgent.
Now is not the time to be polite.
Therefore, even though he spoke, he suppressed the compliments from everyone.
After everyone stopped talking, he looked around and said.
"This time my Luoyue Town was robbed, and the residents of the town were exterminated one after another. I was deeply saddened. I also sent people to investigate, but the manpower is exhausted. Sometimes some things cannot be solved with our best efforts.
For example, let’s talk about things in our town.” When Wang Zhengde said this, fear flashed in his eyes.
Not only him, but also the surrounding gentry.
Ever since people began to die in the town, and they were all rich people, they had not slept peacefully for a day, for fear that they might not wake up if they accidentally died that night.
Therefore, when I heard that Solid Rock City was coming for help, I rushed over without stopping.
Wang Zhengde suppressed the fear in his heart and continued,
"In order to prevent the residents of the town from being killed, I also reported it to Solid Rock City.
But everyone also knows that the current situation in Solid Rock City makes it impossible to spare manpower.
Therefore, we can only issue a reward and let talented people come to solve it.
The few chivalrous men in the house now came here just to unveil the list.
However, people come regardless of the danger, but we cannot let others come in vain. That is not our way of hospitality in Luoyue Mountain.
Therefore, I have called everyone together to raise some silver taels as a token of gratitude. I will first offer you a hundred taels. It is up to you how much you contribute."
When it comes to their own safety, these bosses are not fools. They naturally know when to be stingy and when to be generous.
When Wang Zhengde finished speaking, the people below immediately agreed.
"Master Li Zheng is right. We can't let these young heroes work in vain. If we want them to see our enthusiasm in Luoyue Town, I will pay fifty taels!"
"I listen to Master Li Zheng, I will pay sixty taels..."
"Thirty taels..."
In just a moment, the living room turned into a vegetable market again.
One by one, the wealthy gentry waved their silver coins and handed them to Wang Zhengde.
Hou Jiuming did not stand alone, and gave out thirty taels of silver, neither too much nor too little.
After a lot of busy work, I finally counted and found that more than forty people had collected more than two thousand taels of silver.
Seeing so much money made Hou Jiuming's eyes watery.
"You make money by killing ghosts?
How many Wuling Pills can I refine with this money?"
Suddenly, he had the urge to go to Solid Rock City to reveal the list.
Fortunately, in the end, reason suppressed desire and did not choose to act impulsively.
…………
After Wang Zhengde got the money, he comforted everyone and told them to go back immediately and let his family move to Lizheng Mansion or live nearby.
In this way, you can react quickly when something happens.
As soon as this method came out, everyone immediately dispersed overjoyed.
When they think about it, there are several masters living nearby, and ghosts are trying to harm people. Are they looking for death?
So everyone hurried back to make arrangements.
Hou Jiuming didn't leave, and he didn't have any family members, so he naturally didn't need to make any arrangements.
He found the housekeeper of Li Zheng Mansion, gave him a piece of silver, and a clean and comfortable room became his temporary residence.
Moreover, it is the room closest to several experts.
…………
As time passed, the gentry of Luoyue Town also moved into Lizheng Mansion one after another.
More than forty households and hundreds of people gathered together, and the result can be imagined. The children were crying and the owners were scolding. It was much more lively than the living room in the afternoon.
However, as Wang Zhengde had been prepared, everything was in order, and everything was put in place as soon as it got dark.
In the evening, Wang Zhengde held a banquet for the guests and introduced the four young heroes to everyone.
The Confucian scholar Fan Wenxiu, the great Han Zeng Jinfei, the middle-aged man Zong Qisheng, and the beautiful woman Wang Qiongyan.
Not to mention the three men, when the wealthy gentry saw Wang Qiongyan, they were all shocked.
Although they are wealthy people and have numerous wives, when have they ever seen such a beautiful woman?
With breakable skin, cool temperament, and flawless facial features, no one knows what to use to describe the woman. They can only express the image of the woman in their hearts as a goddess descending to earth.
When Hou Jiuming, who was mixed in the crowd, saw the woman, he was surprised at her beauty and narrowed his eyes.
"You found a special skill, do you want to copy it?"
"whether"
"Yes~"
The light collapsed, and a small level spiritual eye spell was automatically mastered.
"My surname is Wang, he is also an immortal cultivator, and he appears here by coincidence. Could it be that he is a monk sent by the Wang family to solve the problem?"
While Hou Jiuming was thinking wildly, Wang Qiongyan glanced at everyone with bright eyes.
It was out of habit, but when he saw Hou Jiuming, his eyes paused slightly.
However, it quickly passed by as if nothing happened.
"What is the purpose of cultivating immortals, casual cultivators, or those with ulterior motives?"
She was sent by her family to Luoyue Town to resolve the issues here, but now she accidentally met an immortal cultivator, so she naturally became suspicious.
"No matter who you are, you are only at the fourth level of Qi training. If you dare to have evil intentions, you will be killed directly!"
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Hou Jiuming, who was thinking wildly, didn't know that the person he was guessing had murderous intentions towards him.
Everyone's mind was not on the banquet, so they just made a brief acquaintance and ended the banquet in a hurry.
After that, everyone went back to their respective residences, anxiously waiting for the matter to be resolved.
…………
At the same time, inside an abandoned house in Luoyue Town.
A man wrapped in a black cloak was looking in the direction of Li Zheng Mansion with disdain.
"A bunch of chickens and dogs, do you think they can resist the cultivators by hiring a few warriors? How naive!"
It seemed that he didn't care about the warriors at all. He shook his head and started to meditate.
Time passed, and when the moon came up, the man opened his eyes.
I looked up at the moon in the sky.
Guessing that the time was almost up, he took out a dark flag from his arms.
“@#%%#%……”
Complex and incomprehensible spells were uttered from his mouth, and at the same time, he kept waving the flag in his hand.
At first, the flag was like a dead object, without any reaction.
But when the man poured his magic power into it, the dark pennant immediately glowed with black glow.
On it, the originally lifelike portraits of terrifying characters seemed to come alive and began to struggle.
No, it's not like, but it really came to life.
I saw the palm-sized pennant, first the arms of rotting flesh and blood stretched out, and then the head and body.
Horrible ghosts with disheveled hair, rotten bodies, and a strong stench quietly crawled out of the flags.
The man didn't stop the spell until the last ghost came out.
But, immediately there was a low shout!
"go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ghosts who had been standing quietly rushed out of the deserted house one by one and disappeared into the night.
Looking at the ghost going away, a cruel expression appeared on the man's face.
"Hmph, I originally wanted you to live for a while longer, but I didn't expect you to seek death on your own. I can't blame you for that. However, those warriors are rare materials for fighting gods..." This chapter has been completed!
