I have a city in another world

Chapter 1571 The Frightened Shopkeeper

"That little... Xiaoqing, you don't have to go to work!"

The white-haired old man thought for a long time, but couldn't find a reasonable excuse, so he could only bite the bullet and give Miss Xiaoqing a holiday.

If it was possible, he hoped that Miss Xiaoqing would never come. Once the spirit that he cultivated so hard was frightened to death, the old man would vomit blood.

In order to capture and cultivate these weapon spirits, the old man has put in a lot of effort, and almost half of his wealth has been spent on them, and he must not be negligent.

Putting aside his own losses, just letting him stand next to a legendary ghost king made him feel uncomfortable, for fear of offending this big guy who came out of nowhere and followed Xiaoqing. guy.

Tang Zhen chuckled secretly. This old man who made profit from making spirit body ornaments met a king-level spiritual cultivator, a real ghost ancestor.

It was very interesting to see how frightened he was.

Sister Xiaoqing is just an ordinary person, and she doesn't know what happened at all. After hearing what the old man said, she immediately asked in a nervous tone: "Uncle Tong, is there something wrong with me? If something is wrong, just follow me." Say, don't drive me away!"

It can be seen from Xiaoqing's clothes that her family background is not very good. Obviously, this job is very important to her. Now that the old man suddenly asks her not to go to work, Xiaoqing will naturally become nervous.

On weekdays, she performed very well, and she was diligent and thoughtful in her work. She really didn't know what was wrong with her, which would make the old man say such things.

"No, no, Xiaoqing, you misunderstood!"

Seeing the grievance on Xiaoqing's face, the old man was so frightened that he almost jumped up. If Xiaoqing had any relationship with the ghost king behind him, it would be bad if he let the boss take his anger on him.

"I...I'm not open today because I have old friends coming and it's inconvenient to open for business!"

His head was about to cramp, so the old man held back an excuse and said to Xiaoqing with a flattering smile.

"Oh, so that's the case, then I'll come back tomorrow!"

Sister Xiaoqing nodded, as long as it wasn't her problem, she let go of her hanging heart, and said to the old man with a sweet smile.

The old man smiled wryly when he heard the words, and thought to himself, what the hell is going on, if you get the boss behind you again, my aunt, will my shop still be open?

I was very anxious, but I didn't dare to explain, which made the old man very depressed.

"Just go about your business as usual, and there will be no problem."

Tang Zhen's voice sounded from the side, making the troubled old man startled, and then he seriously looked at the young man beside Xiaoqing.

It looks very ordinary, and the body is also very thin, there seems to be nothing out of the ordinary.

But there is a lot of mystery in his words, if the old man's guess is correct, it means that the ghost king next to Xiaoqing will not cause harm to his weapon spirit.

"Xiaoqing, this is...?"

Hearing the old man's inquiry, Sister Xiaoqing smiled and said, "His name is Su Huanzhen, and he was my former neighbor."

"Oh, that's how it is, how are you, Xiao Su."

The old man looked at Tang Zhen suspiciously, not knowing whether what he said just now was intentional or not. If it was intentional, it would be interesting!

Turning to look at the ghost king, he suddenly spoke, and the voice came directly into his mind, making the old man tremble slightly.

"I only want to protect Xiaoqing, and it won't affect your business, stop talking nonsense!"

Hearing Wang Ji Lingxiu's warning, the old man quickly agreed in his heart, then smiled and said to Xiaoqing: "That Xiaoqing, I suddenly remembered that I remembered the date wrongly, and my friend won't come today."

"When people are old, their memory is also poor. Time is not forgiving!"

"We are still open for business today, you go and prepare!"

After finishing speaking, the old man was about to turn around, but suddenly remembered something, and said hastily: "You have been in the store for so long, and you work so diligently, I decided to give you a raise from today, double it!"

Miss Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, and quickly thanked the old man, happily walked into the shop and got busy, humming an unknown song.

"Treat Sister Xiaoqing well, and you'll have to benefit from it, otherwise you'll look good on me!"

A voice suddenly sounded in the old man's ear, which sounded a little familiar, but when he turned around to check, he only saw the figure of a thin young man gradually going away.

"This boy... I'm afraid it's not easy!"

The old man muttered in a voice that only he could hear, shook his head lightly, and walked upstairs.

If I have such old arms and legs, if I am frightened like this again, I will definitely have a heart attack!

However, when he thought that there was a legendary ghost king downstairs, the old man became uneasy again. The incense and tea that he enjoyed in the past seemed to have become tasteless.

……

Tang Zhen left Miss Xiaoqing's place of work, but did not return home. Now that he had finally found a clue, he naturally had to follow the clues to complete the task.

Feeling the location of the strong man with the broken arm, Tang Zhen arrived at the target location with a teleport.

This is a manor located on the outskirts of the city, and it looks very quiet in the night. Although it looks like nothing on the surface, Tang Zhen can feel the bloody atmosphere here.

Many people have died here, and there is a lot of resentment.

The strong man whose arm was cut off by himself was lying in a room at the moment, drinking heavily and cursing, and the person who scolded was Tang Zhen.

In addition to this strong man, there are dozens of people in this manor, more than a dozen of them have energy fluctuations in their bodies, and the rest are ordinary people.

And in the dungeon of this manor, there are still several women imprisoned, their eyes are dull and lifeless, as if they have been given some kind of tranquilizer.

These pictures are the result of Tang Zhen's use of spiritual power to investigate. Those guys with mental power fluctuations are all the targets Tang Zhen wants to eliminate.

He snapped his fingers lightly, and the reincarnation mirror appeared, followed by a dozen or so evil spirit monks floating out of the mirror, rushing towards those monks in the manor with hideous faces.

Although it is convenient to kill them directly, it is too cheap, so Tang Zhen is going to torture them, it is best to scare them to death.

Just a few seconds after these evil spirit monks flew out, there was a shrill scream in the manor, as if the person who made the sound had encountered the most terrifying thing in the world.

The screams came one after another, resounding from every corner of the manor. It was extremely loud at the beginning, accompanied by the sound of objects being thrown away and smashed, but it soon became feeble.

Tang Zhen walked slowly in the manor, and saw a woman standing on a stool, putting her head into a noose, and then kicking the stool over, struggling continuously with her feet hanging in the air.

After a while, her tongue stuck out, and her body hung upright in mid-air.

An evil spirit monk next to him nodded in satisfaction, jumped around the corpse to celebrate, then pulled out a newly formed ignorant spirit body from the corpse, and rushed into the mirror of reincarnation with a grinning grin.

The monks in the manor died tragically one after another, and their souls were sent into the mirror of reincarnation by the evil spirit monks. What awaited them would be endless torture.

Walking in front of a wall, Tang Zhen waved his hand, and the wall collapsed, revealing a secret passage, but there was not a trace of dust floating during the period.

Stepping into it, Tang Zhen glanced around and pointed his finger at the iron gate beside him.

The iron gate suddenly turned into an iron ball, revealing the contents of the house, the most attractive one is a huge safe.

Stepping forward to tear open the safe, Tang Zhen put away all the banknotes inside, turned and walked to another room.

Several women were imprisoned here, and they were staring blankly at Tang Zhen in the iron cage, their eyes without any focus.

Using mental power to investigate and force the medicine out of their bodies, Tang Zhen shook his head and quietly appeared outside the manor.

"What is going on, that the task has not been completed yet?"

Having not received the reward for a long time, Tang Zhen revealed a puzzled look, and casually took out something similar to a ledger from the storage equipment.

After flipping through the account book obtained from the safe, Tang Zhen's expression suddenly changed.

"Sure enough, there is a mastermind behind the scenes. I guess after killing him, my first task will be completed!"

After whispering a word, Tang Zhen put away the ledger and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

　Thanks to: "Master Xiaoyao Pavilion" for the reward, and to book friends for their support!
