Siheyuan: I'm not happy, don't even think about having a good life

The three of them stayed at Yuelai Inn, a Wanjie chain in Hangzhou. After asking around, they found out that Xu Xian no longer taught, but had opened a study instead.

I specialize in selling storybooks, which tell stories about monsters and demons very realistically. Each volume has 10,000 words and is updated once a week. I have already updated five volumes and the sales are very good.

I went to the study and saw Xu Jiaorong watching the shop. When I asked about Xu Xian, he said that he had gone out for a trip with his wife and had not returned yet. However, when he mentioned that wife, his expression became strange.

Hong Guan bought five volumes of the storybook and took them with him when he left. After reading through them, he found that they were better written than he had imagined. Moreover, they were a coming-of-age novel, telling the story of a little wild boar and how it gradually became a monster.

Fifty thousand words, the little wild boar ate an earthy yellow fruit and became wise. His strength and defense became greater, and he killed a little demon with a sneak attack.

After reading it, Hong Guanyi's forehead was filled with black lines. This is a total autobiography. This story was probably written by a pig demon. It's really thoughtful.

After Hong Guan explained the situation, Bai Suzhen was no longer so worried. She thought that the pig demon must have already prepared to steal the Ganoderma lucidum to save people.

After waiting for two days, the three of them went to the study together to take a look. The sixth volume had been released, but the pig demon did not appear. Xu Xian and Xu Jiaorong were selling books together.

Seeing that Xu Xian was fine, Bai Suzhen was relieved. The three of them did not return to the inn, but flew away from Hangzhou.

When passing by the territory of Jinshan Temple, Hong Guan suddenly looked down and found Fahai looking at the three people in the square, but the look in his eyes when he looked at the two green and white snakes was murderous. This monk must have been possessed!

When the three of them entered Jiangsu, Xiaoqing spoke up, "Brother Guan, did that Fahai just now want to kill us?"

"Haha, it has nothing to do with me. He wants to kill you two!"

"Why? We wanted to help him before!"

"He's possessed by a demon. Let's stay away from him. Once he's over his disaster, everything will be fine!"

When they arrived outside Kaifeng City, the three of them landed. Bai Suzhen asked in confusion, "Brother Guan, why are you here?"

"I used to live in Zhuangyuan Building. The mysterious boss was a book demon. I'm not sure who is behind it, but if we catch this book demon, it will be very useful to us."

"What's so special about this book demon?"

"It is the last bamboo slip in the book burning and scholar burying. It may not know everything about heaven and earth, but at least it knows a lot about the skills of the human world."

Xiao Qing said excitedly, "Brother Guan, let's catch it quickly. My sister and I are just short of magic!"

Hong Guan raised his hand and said, "Don't get excited. That book monster is not simple. Because of its poor foundation, its attack methods may not be good, but it is not something that can be dealt with casually.

I will go into the city by myself and go to the Zhuangyuan Building to find it and lure it out. You guys lie in ambush and wait for me to fight it. Then you can launch a surprise attack. This is the safest way."

"Ah? That doesn't seem very polite. We are heroes!"

Hearing Xiaoqing's words, Hong Guanyi's forehead was filled with black lines. What the hell is a hero? He is just a sophisticated egoist and has nothing to do with a hero at all.

"Do you still want the benefit?"

"Yes!"

"That's it, the benefits are the most important, as long as the method can achieve the goal!"

Xiao Qing smiled innocently and said, "That's true!"

Hong Guan said no more, and walked a dozen meters at a time, and soon he entered Kaifeng City and came to Zhuangyuan Building. As expected, the place had been completely renovated, and there was no trace of its previous dilapidated appearance.

A servant came up and said, "Sir, do you want to stay in the hotel or have a meal?"

"First, serve me a good meal, and then send someone to inform your boss that the guest from Room 4 wants to discuss a deal with him."

The servant asked hesitantly, "Sir, do you know our boss?"

Hong Guan casually threw over fifty taels of silver ingots and said, "This is not something you should worry about. Just ask the steward to pass the message!"

"Okay, sir, you eat first, I'll find the steward right away."

The servant left happily, and soon the wine and food came up. They should have been made by the previous imperial chef, and they tasted very good, but the ancient wine was a bit bland.

Not long after, the manager who had a deal with Chen Shusheng last time came out and walked to Hong Guan. "Sir, my boss asked me to lead the way. Please follow me."

Hong Guan nodded, with no intention of giving any money. He followed the steward and soon came to the secret room from last time and saw the book demon.

"The last time the whole family of the Minister of Revenue was killed, it must have been you who did it, right?"

"Yes, you are very smart."

The book demon opened his folding fan and fanned it casually. "Tell me, what do you want from me this time?"

Hong Guan laughed and said, "The monster behind you should be the Imperial Master Pu Du Ci Hang, right?"

The book demon's face changed, but he didn't deny it. "How did you know?"

"You don't need to know that Pudu Cihang will become the national teacher and steal the dynasty's luck to practice. It should be the method you provided, right? It wants to transform into a dragon?"

The book demon's face suddenly changed. "What do you want to do?"

“Haha, don’t worry, I’m not interested in this, nor do I want to stop it. This dynasty is already corrupt, and stealing the country’s fortune and accelerating its demise may be a good thing for the people.

I have a friend who wants to negotiate a deal with you. If it works out, you will get the reward you want."

"What deal?"

"Do you know what Dao Injury is? It's the injury caused by the heavenly thunder, which damages the foundation and cannot be healed?"

"Your friend wants me to help him heal his wounds?"

"Almost. However, the wound is difficult to treat. He wants to ask you for a secret method."

The book demon nodded, "Okay, just let him come to see me."

Hong Guan shook his head. "Due to his situation, he cannot enter the city. You need to go out of the city with me. As for how you two talk, it has nothing to do with me. I am only responsible for the matchmaking."

"Impossible, I will not leave Kaifeng City."

"Nothing is impossible. We are cooperating and it is a win-win situation. You help me and I help you!"

Looking at Hong Guan's narrowed eyes, the book demon understood that if it did not agree, Hong Guan might overturn the table, so it could only nod helplessly.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Hong Guan laughed and said, "That's right. We are all friends, it's mutually beneficial, and there is a possibility of cooperation in the future."

The book demon said something to the steward, then followed Hong Guan out of Kaifeng City and arrived at a forest five kilometers outside the city.

"Where are you going, and where are your friends?"

Hong Guan turned around, looked at the book monster and laughed, "We're already there, sword techniques!" The Dragon Sword appeared in his hand, and the sword turned into thousands of swords, and attacked the book monster.

Although the book demon was not good at fighting, it was impossible for it to avoid this kind of attack. It just let out a light cry and spat out the word "dodge", and its figure appeared a hundred meters away.

Seeing the sword energy turning and chasing after him, the book demon shouted again, "Earth Shield", and an earth shield appeared, blocking Hong Guan's sword energy.

"What are you going to do? Do you really think I can't deal with you?"

"Haha, yes, you just can't deal with me. I'm impressed by your knowledge and want to use you for my own benefit. How about that?"

"Aren't you afraid of Pudu Cihang?"

Hong Guan laughed even more happily. "A giant centipede that dreams of turning into a dragon has already gotten what it wanted. Do you think it will offend an opponent it is not sure of beating just for a book demon?"

The book demon looked at the temple of Pudu Cihang outside Kaifeng City, and sure enough, there was no reaction. His heart sank, knowing that Hong Guan was right. It was no longer valuable to Pudu Cihang!

But how could the Book Demon be willing to surrender? It is a thousand-year-old demon and it has dignity!

Its entire body was flashing with golden light, as if there were millions of words surrounding it, and it was writing in the air: "Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder!" The seven words appeared, taking on different shapes with different attributes.

Gold turned into golden swords, wood turned into towering trees, water turned into raging waves, fire turned into meteor showers, and earth turned into thorns.

The wind turned into a hurricane, and the thunder attracted thunder from the sky, covering the sky and the earth, attacking Hongguan from all directions. It looked very intimidating, but in fact its power was very ordinary.

Demonic energy surged in Hong Guan's body, and with a shadow attack, the shadow energy burst out, which disintegrated all attacks!

The Book Demon was dumbfounded. He knew he could not defeat the demon, so he uttered the word "escape" and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already two miles away.

Immediately afterwards, he uttered the word "疾" from his mouth, and a layer of green energy covered his body, and he was about to rush into Kaifeng City!

But Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen had already ambushed him. They descended from the sky with their blue and white swords, like two dragons, attacking from both sides and blocking the book demon's way.

The book demon's face changed, and he roared "explode". A huge amount of energy appeared, accompanied by a strong light. The green and white snakes subconsciously retreated. The book demon showed a proud look, and his figure turned into a stream of light, and he was about to arrive at the city gate.

It turned out that what happened just now was just a sleight of hand. It had no power at all and was just a way to scare people. The two green and white snakes saw that the book monster was so powerful that they thought it was a big move and subconsciously dodged it.

Just as the book demon showed a smug smile, Hong Guan's figure appeared beside him, and put his big hand on his shoulder. Demonic energy surged into his body, making him stand still and dare not move.

Hong Guan said with a smile on his face, "Run, why don't you run? Do you believe it or not, if you dare to run one more step, I will blow you into pieces and you won't be able to put them together again?"

The skill used by Hong Guan was the bomber skill that had not been used for a long time. Other big monsters might not give Hong Guan this opportunity, but the book monster was only old and its strength was too weak, so it was subdued by Hong Guan in an instant.

The book demon's face darkened, and he turned to look at Hong Guan. "I want to say that it was all a misunderstanding. Do you believe me? We can definitely cooperate. I will tell you whatever you want to know!"

Hong Guan sneered, and a capsule appeared in his hand. "Do you think I've wasted so much effort just to cooperate with you? Eat this thing and you can live, otherwise I will refine your consciousness and turn you into a dead thing."

The book demon stared at Hong Guan, sighed helplessly, and swallowed the loyalty capsule. His expression kept changing, and finally he looked at Hong Guan with a pious look and said, "Greetings, Master."

The system's product is indeed a masterpiece. This is a thousand-year-old monster, and it is a dead object that has become a monster. It actually has an effect. It's really awesome!

Although Pu Du Ci Hang is a big demon, he is short-sighted and does not understand the true value of book demons. But Hong Guan knows that he is really rich this time.
