Song Country, Changping County.
Changping County was a low-grade county in the interior of the Song Kingdom, with a population of less than 100,000.
The most well-known person in the county was Minister Zhang, who had retired as a third-grade official of the imperial court.
When squire Zhang was an official, he had clean sleeves, good reputation, and was kind and charitable.
He often helped the poor and was regarded as a great philanthropist by the people of Changping County.
His reputation spread far and wide.
When Minister Zhang passed away some time ago, many big shots from the county came.
Even the legendary high and mighty emperor had specially sent an envoy to mourn.
It really broadened the horizons of the commoners of Changping County who had never seen much of the world.
It was just that recently, the Zhang family did not seem to be peaceful. First, the Third Master's family in the residence died mysteriously.
Then, Sir System was bewitched. She was acting like a lunatic. She mumbled that retribution was coming, retribution was coming.
This made the onlookers in Changping County curious.
Zhang Manor, in the elegantly decorated reception hall.
An easy-going and dignified man was talking to an old man in a Taoist robe.
The easy-going and dignified man was the current head of the Zhang family, Zhang Chongjing. At this moment, their eyes were filled with seriousness.
"Perfected Chen, the reputation of the Peak Gaze Temple is like thunder in Wu County. The Zhenren in the temple is also very powerful. This time, I invited Zhenren Chen to go down the mountain because my Zhang family has encountered a great disaster. They are facing the danger of extermination."
Zhang Chongjing's face was filled with bitterness.
The old man in Taoist robes called Perfected Chen stroked his beard.
"May I know why Second Master Zhang summoned me?"”
"Sigh, you can't wash your dirty linen in public! There are some things that I, Zhang, am ashamed to say.”
Zhang Chongjing's expression was ugly, and he could not help but sigh.
Perfected Chen shook his head and waved his hand.""If Second Master doesn't tell me the whole story, how can I help your Zhang family?”
Zhang Chongjing hesitated and thought for a long time. He sighed deeply.
He cried out.
"Sigh, a month ago. My father is critically ill.
Summon the three of us to our sickbeds.
He was preparing to give instructions for the funeral.
As the boss was lazy, he could only play.
The third son is not a good person.
So my father wanted to pass the position of master to me.
Let me inherit the Zhang family's business.
Who knew that Eldest Brother and Third Brother were quite dissatisfied with this matter, although they did not say anything on the spot.
However, when I went out to do business, I received news that my father was critically ill.
When I return to the Zhang family.
Our Zhang family has all been dressed in plain clothes.
Although his father's health wasn't good, he could still last for a month.
Doubts arose in my heart, so I asked around. I coerced and bribed someone to learn the truth about my father's death.
He was actually starved to death on the bed by the two bastards, Boss and Third!”
As if recalling the tragic experience of the old minister, Second Master Zhang actually started sobbing silently.
Perfected Chen couldn't help but gasp.
"Old Minister Zhang died of resentment. He was probably already very vicious.
He had probably already turned into a malicious ghost. If he didn't take revenge, he probably wouldn't retreat.”
Zhang Chongjing was shocked and quickly cupped his hands."Perfected Zhang, may I ask how you can resolve the hatred in my father's heart?”
"All those who are related to the death of Old Minister Zhang will pay with their lives.”
A faint voice sounded, causing Zhang Chongjing's heart to tighten and his scalp to go numb.
Even his voice was trembling.
"Could it be that more than half of my Zhang Mansion's dozens of people will die?”
Zhang Chongjing staggered and his body went limp.
"Yes." Perfected Chen nodded indifferently.
"What should we do? The eldest and third brothers deserve to die, but the rest of my Zhang family were forced to do so. They're innocent! Please teach me, Immortal Chen. How can we protect the lives of our Zhang family?”
Perfected Chen shook his head.
"Second Master Zhang, this is an internal matter of the Zhang residence. It is not good for me, an outsider, to interfere in this matter. Moreover, from Old Master Zhang's methods, his cultivation was probably not shallow. I'm not very sure."
Zhang Chongjing gritted his teeth and bowed to Perfected Chen.
"If Perfected Chen is willing to help my Zhang family get through this calamity, my Zhang family is willing to offer three thousand taels of silver. When my father was an official, he recorded a spell, the Spirit Charging Sword Art. I'm willing to use this as a reward to ask Perfected Zhang for help, regardless of success or failure. The Zhang family will offer the reward with both hands!"
Perfected Chen couldn't help but be moved.
His name was Chen Xiyi, and he was an elder of one of Wu County's major sects, Peak Gaze Temple.
His cultivation had reached the shocking Xiantian realm, and his status in the entire Wu County was not low.
There were very few things that could move him. Spells were an exception.
In the hands of the hundreds of cultivation forces in the Great Song, the number of spells they mastered was extremely small, and they were never taught to outsiders.
If they leaked it to outsiders, they would be hunted down by the entire sect! From this, one could see how precious spells were.
Even the Peak Gaze Monastery, a sect that had a small reputation in the Song Country, was not as famous. There were only a dozen legacy spells!
And an additional spell technique meant an additional technique and an additional strength.
If he obtained a new spell and presented it to the Abbey Dean, he might have a high chance of becoming a Deputy Abbey Dean. At the very least, he would be rewarded with a considerable sum of money.
He looked around and lowered his voice."Can I take a look at the spell technique first?"
He wasn't a fool. Before confirming the authenticity of the spell, he definitely wouldn't give in first.
After all, it was quite difficult for him to deal with malicious ghosts.
Seeing Chen Xiyi moved, Zhang Chongjing was delighted.
As long as he could ensure the safety of the manor, a spell that was of little value to him was nothing.
"Please wait a moment, Zhenren Chen. I'll be back soon."”
Chen Xiyi nodded.
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the inner residence.
About 15 minutes later.
Zhang Chongjing walked out with a brocade box wrapped in silk. Chen Xiyi suppressed the excitement in his heart. She tried her best to calm herself down.
Zhang Chongjing took off the silk and opened the brocade box. What greeted his eyes was a book that emitted an ancient aura.
On it were four large words written in a flamboyant manner: Spirit Charging Sword Technique! He took out the ancient book from the brocade box and handed it to Chen Xiyi.
Chen Xiyi eagerly took it and flipped through the ancient book. The smile on his face grew brighter.
"Ahem, what do you think, Perfected Chen?”A light cough woke Chen Xiyi up.
Chen Xiyi nodded awkwardly,
He kept the ancient book into his sleeve without batting an eyelid. "Not bad, it's authentic!"”。Not only was it not bad, but even the three great spells of the sect were also so-so. This time, he really made a killing.
Seeing Chen Xiyi's little action, Zhang Chongjing did not say anything and exposed it.
Chen Xiyi was a cultivator who had achieved success in cultivation, while he was just a mortal.
He couldn't do anything to him. She could only hope that he would keep his promise and solve her problem after taking her things.
"Then what about my Zhang family?" Zhang Chongjing asked carefully.
"Since you've accepted Second Master's gift. I'll do my best to help Second Master.”Chen Xiyi vowed.
It was just a malicious ghost, so he still had hope of subduing it. If he really couldn't deal with it, he could just run away.
At that time, the death of the Zhang family would have nothing to do with him.
Zhang Chongjing was overjoyed and bowed again."Then the lives of dozens of people in my Zhang family will be handed over to Perfected Chen!”
Chen Xiyi stroked his beard.
He nodded solemnly.
"I won't let you down, Second Master!" Specters usually travel at night. After I pack up my methods, I can subdue Old Master Zhang by midnight!”
Zhang Chongjing lowered his head and pondered for a while."I wonder if you can spare my father's life?”
Chen Xiyi shook his head. Not to mention that he had already turned into a malicious ghost, only his soul would be scattered!”
After a long time…
Zhang Chongjing sighed faintly."In order to ensure the safety of everyone in the residence, you can do whatever you want.”
