At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
At this moment, the Jiang family's mansion was filled with a strange atmosphere.
A Taoist altar was located in the middle of the courtyard of the Jiang Family's mansion. Immortal Qian stood in front of the Taoist altar and was about to start casting spells. His disciple, Qian Shui, stood by the side and ground cinnabar.
Jiang Yi sat at the back and observed Perfected Qian carefully. The old butler, Yi Tian, stood at the side and served Jiang Yi.
It turned out that Yi Tian wanted Jiang Yi to go back and rest first. He wanted him to watch Perfected Qian cast spells here, but Jiang Yi refused.
Jiang Yi expressed that he wanted to see Immortal Qian's Maoshan Divine Art with his own eyes. He had never seen it before, but in essence, Jiang Yi still had doubts about the Maoshan Divine Art.
Of course, there was another thought in Jiang Yi's heart. If there really was Maoshan Art, he wanted to see with his own eyes how Perfected Qian took away One Eye's life.
"Master, the cinnabar is ready." Qian Shui said.
"Alright, let's light the candles and start the altar now!”Perfected Qian immediately called out.
When Qian Shui heard this, he lit two candles on the altar. Perfected Qian immediately stepped forward and began the ritual.
Immortal Qian picked up a pen on the table and placed it horizontally in front of him, then chanted a spell.
After a while, the incantation ended. Immortal Qian dipped his brush in cinnabar and drew a talisman on the yellow paper. Putting down the pen, Perfected Qian picked up the peach wood sword at the side and did the same thing as before. He held the peach wood sword horizontally in front of his eyes and chanted an incantation.
"Water!" Perfected Qian said.
Upon hearing this, Qian Shui, who was standing at the side, immediately brought the porcelain bowl filled with water and electricity to the mouth of Perfected Qian. At this time, Perfected Qian seemed to have exhausted a lot of strength, and his forehead was already covered in sweat.
Seeing the water, the Immortal Qian immediately gulped it down. In a short while, the water in the porcelain bowl had already reached the bottom.
After drinking the water, Perfected Qian seemed to have recovered his energy. He hit the peach wood sword on the table, hitting the talisman right in the middle. Then, he picked up the magical bell that was placed beside him.
With a sword in one hand and a bell in the other, Immortal Qian walked in circles around the altar with Yu Steps. For some reason, the talisman was firmly attached to the peach wood sword.
One round!
Two laps!
Three laps!
After three rounds, the Immortal Qian stood in front of the altar again and stabbed forward with the peach wood sword in his hand as if he was giving an order. At this time, the talisman on the sword also ignited.
After doing all this, Immortal Qian put down the bell and the peach wood sword in his hands, picked up a straw doll in front of him, tied with a talisman with an eye and eight characters of birth, and chanted another spell.
After it was over, Immortal Qian's face was covered in sweat again, but this time he revealed a successful smile. He picked up a large steel needle and stabbed it fiercely into the heart of the straw doll.
On Eagle Beak Mountain, not far from Chongwen Town, One-eyed Mountain Village was a completely different scene.
Unlike the oppressive Jiang Family Mansion, the atmosphere here was much livelier. Right now, One Eye was holding a banquet.
"Brothers, drink to your heart's content, eat to your heart's content. Tonight, there will be enough good wine and meat!”
One-eye raised his wine bowl and shouted at his underlings.
At this moment, his heart was filled with lofty sentiments. Back then, when he was chased out by Old Master Jiang for stealing, he had brought a few brothers to Eagle Beak Mountain. Now, he had more than 200 brothers under his account. In Chongwen Town, he could be considered a figure.
Today, he had humiliated his old boss, the Jiang family, and robbed them of 5,000 yuan. Three days later, he would get 200,000 yuan. At that time, he would use this money to recruit soldiers and horses. When he had a gun and a man, he would be the one in charge of the entire Fukang County. He might even be able to enjoy the pleasure of being a commander.
"Big brother!"
The word 'big brother' pulled One Eye back to reality from his fantasy.
The person who spoke was the second-in-charge of the stronghold. He was one of the few people who had gone up the mountain with One-eye at the beginning, but he did not like this second-in-charge very much. He always felt that he was too scheming. He heard that he wanted to take his position recently.
"Brother, do you think the Jiang family can really fork out 300,000 yuan? Aren't we asking for too much?"
This was not because he was kind-hearted, but because he knew that although the Jiang family was a wealthy family in Chongwen Town with a lot of land, they did not have 300,000 yuan in cash. They could not really kill Jiang Yi, right? It was easy to kill him, but what if it caused the wealthy families in Chongwen Town to feel insecure and spend money to organize a security team? At that time, they would be playing with fire and burning themselves.
"Second brother, don't worry. Based on my understanding of Jiang Yi, he's probably selling his family's assets to raise money. With the Jiang family's many years of business in Chongwen Town, they wouldn't be able to gather 300,000 yuan!”
One-eye said with a nonchalant expression, but in his heart, he sighed with disdain,"With your guts, you still want to sit in my seat.”
"Big brother is right. But big brother, if this Jiang Yi pays three hundred thousand yuan, you will really let him go. I heard that you think you have a grudge with him!”
The 3rd Head also came over with a wine jar. He was also one of the people who had gone up the mountain with them back then. However, unlike the 2nd Head who had disloyalty, he was loyal to one eye.
"Humph! Of course I won't let him off! I want his money, and I want his life!”
"Three days later, I'll eat one fish and two!”
A wine bowl was fiercely slammed on the table. He had a grudge with Jiang Yi. In fact, when he stole things back then, he was discovered by Jiang Yi, which caused Old Master Jiang to punish him. After suffering five whips, he was chased out of the Jiang family. This made him lie at home for more than half a month, so he swore to make Jiang Yi pay the price.
"Big brother, you're so wise. You even thought of such a brilliant move!”
"Come, come, come. My third brother will toast to my eldest brother!”
As he spoke, the Third Head picked up the wine jar and poured wine into the one-eyed wine bowl.
Just as One-eye raised his bowl and downed the wine in one gulp, something unexpected happened.
"Ah!"
One-eye let out a shrill scream. A bloody hole had inexplicably appeared in his heart, and blood was still flowing out. Then, he fell to the ground and stopped breathing.
One eye was dead.
The scene in front of them frightened everyone in the village, especially the second and third heads who were closest to One-eye. They did not understand what had happened. One-eye had died in front of them in such a strange way. Someone had shot him in the dark. This was what they thought at the same time, but it was quickly overturned by themselves because they did not hear the gunshot just now.
"Third Brother, you actually dared to poison Big Brother in the wine!”
Just as everyone was still wondering what was going on, the second-in-charge took out the pistol at his waist and aimed it at the third-in-charge.
He was indeed shocked by One-eye's sudden death, but he quickly came to his senses. Anyway, he had planned to usurp the throne recently. Wasn't it just nice that One-eye died? It saved him the trouble of making a move and not having to bear the crime of murdering his boss.
Moreover, One-eye had only died after drinking the wine of the third head. It was just right to put the blame on him. Anyway, he had not been on good terms with him for a long time. One had to know that One-eye still had a son. If he wanted to become the boss from the second brother, he had to get rid of this eyesore, the third head.
"I didn't."
A gunshot rang out.
Before the Third Leader could explain, the Second Leader finished him off with a spear.
On this night, the Second Leader led his men to clean up many of One-Eye and Third Leader's trusted aides. They also gave One-Eye's family a fortune. The entire Eagle Beak Mountain was covered in blood. The original 100 bandits were reduced by nearly half.
At this moment, Jiang Yi did not know what was happening at Eagle Beak Mountain. Of course, even if he knew, he would not care.
At this moment, he was still in shock.
Just as Perfected Qian stabbed the steel needle into the scarecrow, a mechanical voice sounded in Jiang Yi's mind.
Ding…Congratulations to the fated person for completing the quest.
Now, the rewards will be distributed.
At this moment, Jiang Yi hurriedly opened the system interface and discovered that in the system space, other than the instruction manual, there were three more lottery tickets.
"I didn't expect the Maoshan technique to be real!”
The completion of the mission announced the death of One Eye. This also severely impacted Jiang Yi's worldview. He knew that a brand new door was opening for him.
