There is still some distance away from the small town, and the few people walked to the gate of the small town when the sky was about to dawn.

At this time, the garrison officers and soldiers of the small town had just opened the city gate.

When the officers and soldiers saw the outfits of several people, they couldn't help asking

"May I ask how many Taoist priests of the Shangqing Temple?"

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, I am the Taoist priest of Shangqing Temple" Yun Xin said solemnly, holding Ziwu Jue with both hands

"Hello, Taoist priest, are you going to the Chen Mansion in the east of the city?" After receiving Yun Xin's affirmative answer, the actions and tone of the officers and soldiers became respectful.

"exactly"

"The Taoist priest came really fast. Yesterday, several Taoist priests came to Chen's mansion to subdue the snake demon, but there was an accident on the way. I heard that Miss Chen's boudoir caught fire for some reason yesterday evening. Luan and the snake demon eloped, and several priests disappeared, and everyone said that it was probably more ominous than good luck.” The officer and soldier said with a sigh of regret: “Oh, the master of the Chen family died in a fit of anger when he saw this scene. Only Mrs. Chen was left hanging in the room."

"What, isn't the Chen Mansion doomed..."

"Whoever says it's not, it's all to blame for that Ms. Chen, who had an affair with the snake demon, ruined her family, and cost the lives of several priests for nothing." The officers and soldiers said excitedly, and the people in the city felt sorry for the Chen family and the Taoists

"The family is broken?" I don't know which part of Yun Xin's heart was touched, and his tone became a little low

"Yes, but the Taoist priests came really fast. We were still thinking about whether we should go to the Shangqing Temple to report. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priests came first."

The officers and soldiers thought it was Yun Xin who was feeling sorry for his fellow Taoist, and stood aside after speaking

"Brother, since the Chen Mansion is empty, and they think we are dead, why don't we just go back to the Taoist temple?"

Shi looked at the officers and soldiers while talking in a low voice. If he let them know that he was the Taoist priests they said was dead, it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Don't go back yet, let's go to the Chen Mansion to have a look." Yun Xin walked into the city gate without looking back.

Shi Yi hurriedly asked Mozun to follow up

The vicinity of the Chen Mansion is still deserted, and no one has dared to approach even half a step since the accident yesterday.

Only the old butler is struggling to hang the white cloth

The old housekeeper kept wiping away his tears, but he didn't see a few people

"Brother, if we just enter like this, how can we explain it to the steward?"

"No need to explain." Yun Xin said lightly, stretched out his hand towards the direction of the old housekeeper and gently grabbed it, a wisp of mist floated out of the old housekeeper's body

The old butler who had just hung up the white cloth and was about to enter the door suddenly fainted

Yun Xin held the struggling mist in his hand and walked up the steps, walking past the old housekeeper with a blank expression.

Shi Yi turned his head and looked around, but fortunately there was no one there, otherwise he would not be able to tell clearly even if he was covered in mouths.

Shi Yi came down from the Demon Lord's back, the demonic energy in his body was already negligible, only his arms were still a bit inconvenient

Helped Mozun to lift the old butler from the ground, fortunately there was a porter next to him, settled the old butler, closed the gate, and then entered the courtyard with peace of mind

Yunxin has long since disappeared

The hall in the front yard has been arranged to look like a mourning hall. The coffins of Master Chen and Mrs. Chen are placed in the middle. Due to a strange incident in the Chen residence, no one dares to approach it. Even the coffin shop dare not accept this business. The old butler finally begged the boss, and promised a lot of money, the boss of the coffin shop brought his assistants to collect the coffin and arrange it, and he didn't dare to stay any longer

Speaking of which, this old butler is absolutely loyal to Mr. Chen

Shi Yi looked around, and although it was a little crude, it was considered to be fully prepared.

There are only three sticks of incense stuck in the incense burner on the altar table, which are about to burn out, and the brazier in front of the mourning hall only has a small amount of rubbing paper ashes.

Since the accident in Chen's house, all friends and relatives have avoided it, and now no one wants to get in trouble and come to express their condolences

Shi Yi burned three sticks of incense, and recited the scriptures on superseding salvation, which made him feel better.
