Ascension Through Generations

The sun rises at the beginning of the day, and the morning glow fills the sky.

The door of the Zou family manor slowly opened, and the head of the Zou family and a group of people walked out surrounded by Zhao Sheng and Gui Li.

Ouch!

With the roar of tigers, two white tigers dragged the rune speed car from a distance and stopped in front of Zhao Sheng and others in the blink of an eye.

"Master Zou, please stay!" Seeing this, Gui Li turned around and bowed to Master Zou, caressing his chest.

"It's just a small gift, but I hope you two adults will accept it!"

Patriarch Zou had a smile on his face. He raised his hand to signal, and saw the servants on the side immediately stepped forward and presented two mahogany carved boxes.

There was no need to be polite at all, Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, and the driver stepped forward to accept the two "small gifts".

Farewell gifts are a tradition passed down from ancient times in Hufeng County and even the entire Dagu Dynasty. Of course, depending on the identity of the guests, the thickness of the gifts received will also vary greatly.

At this time, Gui Li suddenly looked at Zhao Sheng and persuaded: "Sambo, do you really want to follow me? Why not stay in the manor and play for a few days. How about senior brother coming to pick you up in three days?"

"Senior Brother, please stop being so long-winded. Today, talk about breaking the sky. I also want to see how Zhengfa Cultivator subdues demons and eliminates demons." Zhao Sheng said with a curious look on his face and a very firm tone.

"Senior Brother Bao, don't leave! Why don't we go with you?" A Taoist boy accompanying him suddenly begged as his eyes rolled.

"Yes! There is food and drink in the Zou family manor, and there are many fun games. Why does Senior Brother Bao have to go to that filthy and despicable place in person?"

"Wherever you go, senior brother, I, Fang Xing, will follow you!"

"Hmph, stop talking." When Zhao Sheng heard this, he shouted coldly and impatiently: "I have decided to go back this time. Don't persuade any of you. Just stay here. Don't cause any trouble for me. Don’t make a big deal out of it either. Otherwise, I’ll be as good looking as you when I get back to the mountain.”

After saying that, Zhao Sheng looked at a round-faced young man and ordered: "Zou Qi, this is your home, take care of these people for me. It will benefit you in the future."

"Senior Brother Bao, don't worry, I will definitely entertain several junior fellow apprentices." The round-faced boy hurriedly patted his chest and promised.

"Hmph, I, Fang Xing, entered the mountain a year earlier than you, Zou Qi, so I should be my senior brother." After hearing this, the tall and chubby young man next to him shouted immediately.

Zhao Sheng ignored the two pieces of goods, turned around and jumped on the flying car, got into the carriage and lay down.

Seeing this, Gui Li shook his head, nodded to everyone in the Zou family again, and ducked into the car.

Ouch!

As the coachman whistled, the two white tigers rushed out fiercely, and the rune speed car quickly galloped into the distance.

After running for more than ten miles, Zhao Sheng in the carriage opened the mahogany carving box.

As far as the eye can see, a row of egg-sized, jade-white low-grade spirit stones are neatly placed on the red silk, emitting a faint fluorescence.

"Haha, including mine, there are a total of twenty spiritual stones. The Zou family has counted their capital this time." Gui Li also opened the lid of the box and took a look at the contents, with a smile on his face.

"Well, there are also those stacks of talismans. The Zou family also spent thirty-six pieces of spiritual stones to buy them all, and the price is 20% higher than the market price. Senior brother Gui, how about we split the price after the spiritual stones are delivered to the mountain? "

"Hey, Sanbao, why have you changed your temper this time? Are you willing to share the dividends with your senior brother?" Gui Li looked very surprised after hearing this.

Zhao Sheng closed the lid and said calmly: "Brother, I am no longer a three-year-old child. I should have learned the rules a long time ago. Since ancient times, eating alone has no good consequences."

"Sambo, you have such awareness at a young age. Senior brother is very optimistic about you, and I will rely on you for my future inheritance." Guili smiled slightly when he heard this, and said half-truthfully.

"Senior brother, I'm the Three Treasures...!"

While the two were talking on the road, the thirty miles passed by in the blink of an eye.

Under the guidance of the leader, Rune Speeder quickly rushed into a dilapidated village.

"Where is your village leader Liu Sanpao? Hurry and call over to greet the noble man. Today, two master mages from the Requiem Temple are here to slay demons for you.

If you don't hurry up and call for someone else, if you neglect your noble lord, I'll tell you to take a walk when you're full! "

The person leading the way was a steward of the Zou family. As soon as he jumped off the speeding car, he rushed towards the cowering villagers by the road with a arrogant look on his face, shouting and shouting.

The clever ones quickly let go and ran towards the village. The remaining group of people were like quails, kneeling by the roadside without daring to raise their heads.

Zhao Sheng got off the carriage and saw this scene at a glance. He frowned slightly, but it passed quickly.

Looking around, all I see are low and cramped thatched houses. Most of the houses are surrounded by a simple fence of branches. Most of the fences have two or three black-feathered chickens, which look very skinny.

The roads in Zhuangzi are muddy, narrow, and bumpy, with excrement and water flowing across the ground. Most of the people in Zhuangzi have yellow and thin faces, most of their chests are bare, and their lower bodies are wrapped in linen pockets. The little kids are all walking around, with shiny black skin.

"Sir, this is the Liu Family Village. Recently, the former owner of this village, his entire family, was killed by a vicious ghost. They died miserably." The steward of the Zou family took advantage of the opportunity to talk to Zhao Sheng and the two about the recent murder of the vicious ghost. Asking for life and strange things.

Zhao Sheng looked around without saying a word, while Gui Li looked much more carefully and kept asking the stewards.

Not long after, four or five village men came running towards this side from the village. The leader was an old man with gray hair and a yellow face.

When they came closer, the old man and his gang suddenly knelt down and yelled, "Welcome to you, I'm sorry for the disrespect. I'm sorry for the disrespect." They were extremely skilled in speaking.

When Zhao Sheng finished speaking, these Zhuang men got up from the ground, but their waists were bent sharply, as if they were afraid of being taller than the little nobleman.

"Liu Sanbao, please tell me how your brother's family died tragically. Don't panic, otherwise you will not be the temporary head of the village."

"Hey, don't worry, Manager Zou. I will definitely work hard, I will definitely use my heart!"

As he said that, the yellow-faced old man looked at Zhao Sheng and Zhao Sheng with a smile on his face.

After receiving the signal from his eyes, his waist suddenly dropped by half, and he said with a sad look on his face: "The matter has to start from half a month ago..."

After half a cup of tea, the yellow-faced old man stopped talking and looked at Zhao Sheng and Gui Li anxiously, but most of his attention was on Gui Li, who was wearing a Taoist robe.

As for Zhao Sheng! An eight-year-old baby, even if he has a noble status, is not as powerful as another mage.

After hearing this, Gui Li frowned and said in a relaxed tone: "The ghost that caused the trouble must have just been born. No matter how ferocious it is, it is just like a resentful ghost. I thought it was an old ghost, but it turned out to be a new ghost." .Junior brother, this is easy."

Zhao Sheng never spoke, but now he shouted coldly: "You Zhuangtou deserve to die!"

The yellow-faced old man's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he hurriedly defended: "Noble sir, we are wronged! This has been the rule in our area since ancient times. When a new wife comes to the house, she must let the head of the village taste the soup. This is The purpose was to check whether my mother-in-law had stolen anything, and the second reason was to collect phoenixes.

My eldest brother didn't know that the woman was so fierce. She hanged herself on the day she came to the house, and after her death she turned into a ghost and demanded her life. I have pity on my old sister-in-law and two eldest nephews. They didn't commit any evil at all, but they were killed together. "

The more the yellow-faced old man talked, the more he felt aggrieved. By the end, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and even the people next to him also shed tears.

"The head of our village is a very upright man. It took three years for other villagers to collect their blood taxes, but we only have two years. Even the interest rate is a few cents lower than other villagers. The owner of the village is very upright!" You are bold! The gentle touch helped.

Guili suddenly snorted coldly, and a large number of people knelt down around him.

"Junior brother, Feng Kui is a kind of precious blood designated for collection by this sect. This thing contains both life and death, and has many mysterious functions." Gui Li explained lightly.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed and his tone was very cold: "Get up and take me to see the scene."

Liujiazhuang is small in area, with only a hundred households. There is only one dirt road connecting the inside and outside of the village, and a green brick courtyard at the end of the dirt road is where the incident happened.

There are ten large tile-roofed houses in this courtyard. The five facing south are for people to live in. The two on the left are livestock houses, the two on the right are kitchens and utility rooms, and the one with bluestone walls is a granary. .

At this time, four thin pine coffins were parked in the open space in the middle of the yard. The coffins were covered with black-winged flies, and they were covered with black flies.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the other villagers stopped in their tracks, their expressions full of fear and panic, but the yellow-faced old man ran over first, waving his hands wildly to drive away the flies.

Zhao Sheng looked at the black blood scabs on the ground at the door of the main house with a thoughtful look on his face.

Gui Li strode to the coffin, waved his sleeves, and the coffin lid was immediately flipped to the ground.

"Junior brother, come and see."

Zhao Sheng stepped forward in response and looked down into the coffin. He saw that the corpse's skin was pale and covered in spots. His face was full of despair and fear, but there were no scars on his body.

Looking at the other three corpses, they also looked like this.

When Gui Li saw this scene, he couldn't help but nod secretly, thinking: "The corpse smells like this, but the junior brother's expression remains unchanged. It seems that everyone has underestimated him. San Bao is not as frivolous and arrogant as he appears."

"Well, this person's soul was indeed swallowed up by a ghost. There were no wounds on his body, but blood flowed all over the floor. Senior brother, that ghost is not simple! I'm afraid it has the ability to suck blood from a distance."

"The talents of ghosts are all kinds of weird, and it's not uncommon for them to just suck blood. However, this ghost can kill four people in a row just after it was born. We must not let it continue to be vicious, otherwise it will become a big disaster in a hundred years." Gui Lihuan Looking around, his expression was extremely cold.

"Strange, where did the female corpse go?" Zhao Sheng muttered to himself, then looked at the yellow-faced old man and asked: "Where is the hanged female corpse now? Take us to see it."

When Gui Li heard this, his eyes turned to this person.

"My lord, the corpse suddenly disappeared from the courtyard the night before."

The yellow-faced old man knelt down again and spoke in a trembling voice, as if he was very afraid of being blamed.

"Hey, is it a living corpse?"

After hearing this, Gui Li looked happy and immediately turned his hands over, revealing a yellow paper talisman on his fingertips.

He muttered words, then pointed out his sword, and a ball of flame suddenly ignited on the talisman, burning it into ashes. At the same time, a circle of faint golden light spread rapidly, covering the entire courtyard.

The next second, four streams of gray gas rose from the four coffins, which were really conspicuous under the golden light.

Gui Li looked at it and frowned, "It's strange that there is no corpse energy of that female corpse here?"

Zhao Sheng said, "Senior brother, it doesn't matter where the female corpse went or was stolen by some master. What's important is to get rid of the resentful ghost first to prevent it from harming others again."

"Junior brother, yes, what I said makes sense. Senior brother, I'm happy to see you. I just fell in love with you."

After saying that, Gui Li moved his sleeve, and a palm-sized black porcelain bottle fell into his hand.

He muttered words and poured his spiritual power into the porcelain bottle. White light bloomed at the mouth of the bottle, and then a three-foot-tall blue-black human shadow emerged from the bottle.

The figure's entire body exuded a faint scent of incense, and waves of cold air came out of its body. The temperature in the courtyard suddenly dropped rapidly, like a sudden drop of frost.

The sun is high in the sky, but this ghost is not afraid of being burned by the sun.

Zhao Sheng took a look and immediately realized that this ghost was a spirit ghost that had been sacrificed through the secret methods of Tiandao.

"The law of heaven is supreme, all ghosts bow their heads! The spirit ghost is looking for traces, go!" Gui Li shouted urgently, and then he saw the spirit ghost swimming around quickly in the courtyard, then suddenly turned into a wisp of black smoke and flew out of the hospital. .

"Junior brother, stay here and don't move!"

After hurriedly saying a word, Gui Li suddenly ran out like an arrow.

Zhao Sheng walked out of the hospital in a few steps and only had time to see Gui Li's retreating figure.

Just a few figures flickered, and the others disappeared behind the mounds a few miles away in the blink of an eye.

The mound was overgrown with grass, and a few mounds of earth were faintly raised between the grass, which seemed to be several tombs.

Zhao Sheng saw that he could not catch up, so he stopped.

Suddenly, he turned around, stared at the yellow-faced old man with lightning eyes, and asked coldly: "Tell me! How do people die?"

"Noble sir, I am unjustly accused! He really hanged himself. I really don't know how the body disappeared. I am also confused!" The yellow-faced old man looked aggrieved and unjustly accused.

"It seems that you won't tell the truth without suffering a little pain." Zhao Sheng smiled coldly, stepped forward in two steps, and stabbed the old man's chest and abdomen half an inch below the Tanzhong point with a finger.

Ouch!

The yellow-faced old man was poked, his old face turned white, and he let out an inhuman howl. His body curled up into a ball and rolled on the ground in pain.

In just two breaths, the man's clothes were soaked with sweat, his whole body was twitching violently, and he almost fainted.

But he still couldn't fall into coma. Instead, the more painful he became, the more conscious he became, as if he was suffering in hell.

After more than ten breaths, I guess the heat is almost there.

Zhao Sheng kicked the old man's Fengshen point and released the secret hand.

"Tell me, how did the person die? Where did the body go? If you don't tell the truth, I will make your life worse than death!"

In his opinion, since ridiculous things like the right to the first night have existed in the local area since ancient times, the new wife should not hang herself for such a thing.

There must be something fishy in it.

"Sir, the younger one must confess to the younger one! That little daughter-in-law really hanged herself, but my damn village boss has a habit of abusing people. He really went too far that day, and the little daughter-in-law couldn't bear the torture, so she couldn't think about it for a moment and hanged herself. !”

"Where is the body?" Zhao Sheng's voice was as cold as ice.

"Corpse? I swear to God, we really didn't hide the corpse. It was really gone overnight. We were also very scared."

At this moment, the steward of the Zou family who had been silent suddenly kicked the yellow-faced old man and shouted angrily: "You deserve to die! The Zou family's reputation for kindness and justice has been ruined by you bunch of bastards. The local people are simple and honest. The people are pure and kind, and I never expected that such evil things would happen! Your Liujiazhuang is doing very well. When I go back and report to Master Gao, I will definitely punish you for your crimes!"

After saying that, Manager Zou's expression changed suddenly, he smiled flatteringly at Zhao Sheng and said, "Sir, please calm down. Don't ever get angry because of a bunch of ignorant idiots."

Zhao Sheng ignored this person at all. His eyes suddenly turned to the mound, his eyes were unusually deep and calm as water.

At this time, Gui Li just turned around the mound and rushed towards this side with a joyful expression, holding a dark porcelain altar in his hand.

"Junior brother, this trip is really worth it! This female ghost has excellent qualities, and after the sacrifice, she will become a rare high-grade spirit ghost." Gui Li said happily to Zhao Sheng as soon as he came back.

"Senior brother, I'm tired! You can just do whatever you want to save."

Seeing that his junior brother was a little less interested, Gui Li shook his head secretly, "Sure enough, the true colors are revealed. The child's interest comes and goes quickly! He doesn't even pay attention to the benefits of a high-quality spirit ghost."

"That's fine! Let's leave for the next one now."
