As soon as Mingruo and Si Haochen entered the room, the shopkeeper brought two friends to bring hot water. By the way, he reminded: "Master, madam, remember not to open the window, and you cannot hold lights after sunset. The lights and the breath of a stranger are the most likely to attract evil spirits."

"Okay." Mingruo nodded.

"You go down." Si Haochen waved his hand.

"Yes." The shopkeeper called the two guys to the kitchen to help, and made sure to prepare dinner before sunset.

Si Haochen closed the door with his back hand, Mingruo pushed the window open a gap and observed the shop selling talismans opposite. The small shop had a lot of guests and the business was very prosperous.

After a while, a man in a blue-gray Taoist robe came out of the shop and hung it at the door with a sign of "sold out of talismans" in his hand. The people in the queue saw the sign and didn't say much, leaving with a sigh and the street quickly returned to peace.

Si Haochen hugged Mingruo from behind: "What did you see?"

"I didn't see anything at the moment, but this shop is very suspicious." Mingruo hung a grass ring on the window. "They know how to restrain corpse poison, but they are afraid they have a close relationship with the mastermind behind the refining corpse Gu."

"After night, I'll check it out." Si Haochen was sure that there must be something wrong with this shop.

"I want to go too!" Mingruo was afraid that his husband would be plotted against, so he decided to take a few small people with him.

"Okay." The wife never plays according to the rules, but she still puts it under her nose to feel at ease.

As soon as the Youth hour arrived, the shopkeeper sent dinner, and four dishes and one soup looked quite sumptuous.

"The evil spirits are rampant recently, and there are not enough vegetables, meat and eggs." The shopkeeper lowered his head, "The master will use some, and his subordinates will send someone to the neighboring town to buy it tomorrow morning."

"No, I'm just passing here and I'll have to rush to the road tomorrow." Si Haochen looked in the direction of the window, "Did the shop selling talismans have already existed?"

"No, that shop originally sold wine, but the evil spirits in the town became more and more fierce. The wine shop owner sold the shop and took the family to the city to join relatives." The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "It was only half a month before he started selling talismans."

"Yes." Si Haochen nodded slightly.

After dinner, Si Haochen told him not to disturb him, so he took his wife to climb out of the room.

Si Haochen held Mingruo's waist and landed on the roof of the opposite shop in a few strokes, lifting the tiles of the shop.

The people below were placing silver - the silver ingots were placed in one place, and the broken silver was weighed and packed, and both boxes were almost full.

Mingruo smelled a scent of medicine and signaled to the backyard. Si Haochen gently tapped his toes and flew towards the backyard.

Some of the yards are mixed with the cooked medicinal juice in the sink where pulp is stored, some are scattered with bamboo curtains, some are pressed on paper, and some are cut into the size of a talisman, and the whole yard is filled with the smell of medicine.

Because of the work, the yard was brightly lit and there was no fear of attracting "evil". Si Haochen landed more cautiously on the roof of the main room in the backyard and lifted a piece of tile.

Two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, were both wearing yellow Taoist robes. The fat man's Taoist robes were tightly tied around his body, as if they were about to collapse the next moment. The thin man's Taoist robes were too fat again, as if a child was wearing adult clothes.

The fat man pulled off a chicken leg and put it into the skinny bowl, then held the roast chicken and chewed it. The skinny man raised his feet and poured wine into his mouth. The cup and plate on the table were in a mess, and two wine jars rolled under the table.

A young man was locked in a corner of the main hall by iron chains, with a low stool in front of him. On the stool were a stack of cut talisman paper and adjusted cinnabar. The young man trembled and drew a 'talisman', put down his bald brush, and turned around his sore wrists.

With a 'bang', the whip twitched on the boy's shoulder. The thin man slanted his eyes and said, "You still dare to be lazy! I can't finish drawing three hundred talismans today, so I have no food to eat!"

The boy didn't say a word, and his eyes looked at the thin man with a bare face and coldness.

The thin man was obviously angry by the boy's eyes. The whip in his hand slapped the boy's cheek, leaving a blood mark: "Looking at me like this, I will pull out my eyes for you!"

The boy bit his lips until his hair turned white, lowered his head, and held the brush to "draw the talisman".

When the thin man saw the young man surrender, he felt extremely satisfied and swayed back to the table: "It's getting late, go and release those poisonous people."

The fat man spit out a chicken bone, wiped his greasy hand on the Taoist robe, picked up the copper bell at the corner of the table, pushed the door and walked out, shouting loudly: "Everyone goes back to the house and come out in a quarter of an hour!"

After hearing this, the working people in the yard hid in the room and bolted the door skillfully.

The fat man opened the side door of the yard, then walked to the side of the well, moved the stone above, and pushed the stone slab pressing against the well to one side, similar to the sound of a beast's hissing sound coming from the deep well.

The fat man shook the copper bell in his hand, and a figure rushed out of the well like an animal. He smelled the smell of medicine in the yard and became slow, and his eyes, which were originally glowing green, gradually became holes. Then, another poisonous man came out of the well.

With the lights in the yard, we can clearly see that several poisonous people were dressed in blue-gray and ragged, covered in blood, not knowing whether they were someone else's or their own.

Five poisonous people came out in succession, and continued to shaking the copper bell without any movement: "Tsk tsk, another one died..."

The fat man sprinkled a handful of medicine powder on himself, then shook the copper bell to lead the poisonous people out of the door. Without herbs, the poisonous people were put on all sides again and disappeared quickly into the night.

The fat man closed the door and said to himself: "Go and go, go and get a few more bites. Otherwise, if you don't have enough food, you can only eat your own people..."

Mingruo felt nauseous and could only blame his five senses for being too sensitive. After making a gesture of leaving, His Majesty Yun Emperor immediately took his wife back to the roof of the inn.

Mingruo caressed his chest and took a few deep breaths to make him feel better.

Si Haochen looked at Mingruo with some concern: "Let's go back."

"I'm fine, it's just that the bloody smell was too irritating..." Ming Ruo took out the water bag from the 'sleeve bag' and drank a few sips, "Do you want to drink water?"

Si Haochen shook his head and wiped the water from the corner of Mingruo's lips with his fingers: "Don't be anxious, drink it slowly."

"I won't drink it anymore. Those poisonous people don't think it's right. Let's go over and take a look." Mingruo stuffed the water bag back into the 'sleeve bag'.

Mingruo's white face returned to normal, and Si Haochen took her to chase the Gu people away.

After chasing for a while, the traces were broken. Si Haochen was about to call the secret guards over when he heard a fight not far away and rushed over.

Three secret guards surrounded a poisonous man. They did not want to kill the poisonous man, and they had to be careful of being bitten by the poisonous man. They were very passive when they were beaten.

Linglong didn't see her own people at a disadvantage? She almost slapped the poisonous man's head with one wing.

The secret guard saw that the poisonous man with a fang-browed claw suddenly fell, so he took the opportunity to stop him and stuffed him a pill to relieve the corpse.
