The woman happily twisted her waist and went to the table, took out a pair of jade bracelets from the brocade box, and stared at them intently.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu!"

She was about to put the bracelet on her hand when she suddenly heard a woman's whimpering sound coming from the other side of the wall.

Her curiosity was so strong that she didn't see Xu Laoqian's increasingly ugly face, and listened against the wall.

The woman's screams could not be heard, and her face turned pale with fear.

"Master, what's the sound over there..."

The woman talked coquettishly to Xu Laoqian, but was shocked by Xu Laoqian's expression.

"master……"

She said tremblingly, but saw that Xu Laoqian didn't even look at her and shouted coldly to the outside.

"Get rid of her."

The moment she finished speaking, the woman was dragged away by several men, and the jade bracelet she was wearing fell to the ground.

"call."

Xu Laoqian picked up the bracelet on the ground, blew on it, carefully blew away the dust on the bracelet, and then put the bracelet into the brocade box again.

If Liang Yu'er were here at this time, he would be surprised to find that the logo on this brocade box is exactly the same as the logo on the house in the weird village behind the mountain.

After Xu Laoqian finished all this, he sat leisurely on the recliner and asked someone to bring another woman.

It was as if what just happened had never happened.

With a "creak", the door was pushed open.

Xu Laoqian raised his face slightly, and his pupils instantly dilated when he saw the person coming.

"you……"

He sat up from the recliner and shouted outside.

"Who sent her here? Take her away quickly!"

The woman was wearing clothes from the back mountain village, and her hair was tightly braided with whips. Unlike the silver necklaces that the men wore around their necks, what she wore around her neck was a piece of emerald green.

The water head of that jadeite is extremely good, which is rare even in a place like the capital where everyone is powerful.

She spoke with an accent, slightly lame but still beautiful.

"Have you forgotten me so quickly?"

"Get out of here, who are you? I don't even recognize you!"

Xu Laoqian rolled down from the recliner, touched a teacup on the table, and threw it at the woman.

The woman was not afraid and walked towards Xu Laoqian.

"Come on, come on!"

Xu Laoqian screamed so hard that his voice became hoarse because of fear.

The door was opened, and the guards guarding Xu Laoqian swarmed over.

A man helped Xu Laoqian up.

"Hurry up, throw that woman out and kill her!"

Xu Laoqian half-slumped on the man's body and said breathlessly.

The man looked around suspiciously and then said.

"Master, who are you talking about? There are no women here."

Xu Laoqian trembled and looked around, but there was really no one there.

The two men helped Xu Laoqian back to the recliner.

"Master, have you read it wrong? We brothers are all standing outside, and absolutely no one can come in."

"Then where is the woman I asked you to send just now?"

Xu Laoqian managed to calm down his breathing and asked the man.

The man high-fived, and then a woman dressed in a particularly cool outfit appeared.

"She just came here and we were searching her body earlier."

Xu Laoqian looked at the woman's face intently. Not only was her face different from the one he saw before, but even the clothes she was wearing were completely different.

The previous fright was more like a nightmare in the clear sky.

Except for the broken tea cup lying on the ground, there was no trace of anything.

Xu Laoqian stared at the fragments of the tea cup with dull eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

He didn't know how long it took before he relaxed his tense body and slumped down on the chair.

"Go and hire the best master for me. I will perform a ritual ceremony."

Things often happen to the Xu family, and Mr. Xu is always suspicious and does things not once or twice.

The man didn't speak, nodded and left with the others.

No one noticed that the window not far away was wide open, and the snowflakes were blowing into the house with the east wind, showing an inconspicuous footprint.

The master who performed rituals for Xu Laoqian was still a Taoist priest from Liuwan Mountain, whom Xu Laoqian was accustomed to.

This time it was a new face.

Xu Laoqian glanced at him and asked, "I didn't invite Chief Hong, who are you?"

The visitor claimed to be Zhenyi, saluted Xu Laoqian and said.

"Pindao is the junior brother of Hongdao. Pindao's senior brother accidentally fell down due to the slippery road in the snow and needs to recover. I heard that Mr. Xu came to invite me, and I couldn't bear to refuse this ritual, so I called Pindao. .”

Mr. Xu felt extremely comfortable with the implicit compliment in his words, and put down the tea cup in his hand.

"Since you are the junior disciple of Daoist Master Hong, I will treat you well. As long as the Taoist Master can do this well, I will give you this number."

He said, gesturing with five fingers.

Shinichi knew that this meant five hundred taels of silver.

He waved his fly whisk, recited "Infinite Heavenly Lord" and said to Xu Laoqian.

"Pindao is willing to try his best."

Shinichi looked at it as he spoke, threw the whisk away, walked several steps around the house, and finally stopped in front of a wall.

"Taoist Priest, why did you stop here?"

Xu Laoqian asked nervously.

Shinichi said directly without beating around the bush with him.

"Your wall is not clean. If Pindao guessed correctly, there must be something sinister and evil hidden in this wall."

The man next to Xu Laoqian pulled out his long sword and put it against Zhenyi's neck.

"I killed you, but if you don't say anything, it's outrageous."

"If you kill me, it will be the fate of a poor man. But if I die, you will really have no chance to save your life."

"Put down the sword."

Xu Laoqian said to the man.

Under Xu Laoqian's gaze, the man finally reluctantly put down the sword in his hand and looked at Shinichi warily.

"Taoist Priest, this brother of mine has a bad temper. I hope Taoist Priest won't be angry. Please tell me, Taoist Priest, how to solve this wall."

Shinichi counted his fingers, sighed and said.

"If you want to get rid of this thing, it's impossible. All we can do now is try our best to resolve the root cause."

Xu Laoqian tasted Zhenyi's meaning and seemed to know the inside story, so he treated Xu Laoqian with more respect.

He has never told anyone about this matter. Even the man who has been staying by his side only knows that there is a secret inside this wall. Not to mention that Koichi is the elder, Shinichi naturally doesn’t know.

Shinichi smiled slightly, then gently twirled his fingers.

Xu Laoqian knew what this meant, and then hurriedly asked the man to get the banknote.

For him, doing things for money is the most trustworthy thing.

Shinichi put the banknote in his sleeve, and then asked Mr. Xu to come over.
