Zhenesi is very efficient.

The man named Zhao with the scar on his forehead is not difficult to find. Firstly, his features are quite obvious, and secondly, his status is not low.

This man is a famous jade merchant in Chang'an City, his name is Zhao Fengyang. He was involved in the black market in his early years and became famous for his ruthless behavior and vicious temper. No one dares to provoke him, and he is like a local snake.

Later, like a pie falling from the sky, Zhao Fengyang suddenly made a fortune one day.
Because he had rich experience in jade reselling, it was logical for him to acquire jade, expand his store, and switch from the shady black market to the open jade business in Chang'an City.

This has been done for more than 20 years.

After finding out the identity of the other party, Shi Dai and others followed the clues and found Zhao Fengyang's mansion.

The residence of the owner of the jade shop is indeed extraordinary.
Chongyu Villa is decorated with carved beams and painted buildings. Before you even knock on the main door, you can feel the overwhelming wealth rushing towards you.The jade steps in front of the door are extremely luxurious, and along the wall, you can see a corner of green tiles and flying rafts.

"This is really..."
Yan Qinghuan's eyes twitched when he saw it, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Whether it is the rumored "philanthropic" Mu Tao, the proud Qin Lihe, or this Zhao Fengyang, the three people's business capital is the Zhang family's priceless heirloom jade pendant.

They killed people, stole money, and burned the Zhang family to the ground.A family of three died quietly and inexplicably, but these bandits lived a happy life and became prominent figures.

Who wouldn't feel depressed after seeing this?

There are two doorkeepers at the main entrance.
Shen Liushuang has been working in Zhen'es Division for a long time and is very familiar with this kind of process. He took out his badge and said in a soft voice: "Zhen'es Division is handling the case. Where is Zhao Fengyang?"

Zhen Esi.
The expressions of the two waiters changed.

In Dazhao, if asked what places should not be provoked, [-]% of people would answer Zhen'es.

The chief of the Suppressing Department is to eliminate evil spirits. All the people in the department are strange people from three religions and nine schools, and they deal with ghosts and gods.
How can ordinary people dare to deal with ghosts and gods? A waiter turned pale and said tentatively: "My master went to a village on the outskirts of the city today. May I ask...what happened?"

In Chang'an City, many wealthy families built manors in the mountains to escape the heat in the summer and enjoy the snow and birds in the winter.

"Biezhuang?"
Shi Dai's heart moved: "What is he doing there?"

Three people died in three consecutive days, and they were all bandits who had colluded with Zhao Fengyang.Zhao Fengyang is not an idiot, how could he not see that this is seeking revenge.
Shi Dai didn't think he still had time to see the snow at this time.

Could it be that Zhao Fengyang didn't go to any suburban villa at all, but used this as a cover to actually run away?
But running away always felt inconsistent with his ruthless temper.

"I-I don't know either."
The doorkeeper said: "It seems that the itinerary was decided yesterday."

Jiang Baiyan suddenly said: "What else did Zhao Fengyang do yesterday?"

The two waiters looked at each other.
When Zhen'Esi handles a case, even if it may make his boss angry, he has to answer obediently.

"Master... he went to find the warlock."
A steward said: "The house was very lively yesterday. I saw a few Taoist priests."

Shi Dai realized.

"Zhao Fengyang," Yan Qinghuan was all excited, "Are you planning to kill the puppet master?"

This is a guy who licks blood at the tip of a knife.
Zhao Fengyang was ruthless by nature and was once the leader of four bandits.The other three were his apprentices back then, and perhaps the robbery of the jade pendant was his first-hand plan.

Now that he is wealthy and in a high position, he is even less willing to be controlled by others.Rather than fleeing Chang'an and living in the shadow day after day, it would be better to go head-to-head and get rid of the puppet master.

Hearing Yan Qinghuan talking to himself, the two waiters turned pale and exclaimed at the same time: "Puppet Master?!"

Is he the serial murderer who caused a sensation in Chang'an?God, how could the master be related to the puppet master?

Shi Dai looked at their expressions and felt inexplicably emotional.
They only knew that the puppet master had committed a crime, but they did not know that the "master" they were talking about was a bastard many times more terrifying than the puppet master.

More than 20 years later, how many people still know about the evil deeds in that fire?

Sighing secretly, Shi Dai said: "Where is that villa?"

*
Zhao Fengyang's villa was built on Mingyue Mountain on the outskirts of the city.

It was evening, and the sky was filled with clouds, and because there was no sunlight, it was gloomy and gloomy.
The cold winter is bleak, and the grass and trees in the mountains are withered.The snow from last night has not yet melted, and it is piled in clusters on the branches, forming heavy arcs.

Not long after stepping into Mingyue Mountain, Shi Dai felt a surge of spiritual energy.

"A formation has been set up in the mountain."
Shen Liushuang looked around and raised her eyebrows slightly: "It seems that Zhao Fengyang is fully prepared."

As the owner of a jade shop, he has accumulated countless wealth over the years.They say money can make all the difference, so hiring a few good warlocks won't be a problem.

No wonder Zhao Fengyang dared to come to Biezhuang carelessly. It turned out that he had the intention to wait and see.

"Formation?"
Yan Qinghuan knew nothing about the formation and asked curiously: "What formation is this? Can you stop the puppet master?"

Jiang Baiyan on the other side replied quietly: "Four Directions Locking Disaster Formation."

Shi Dai had seen this formation in ancient books. She raised her head and glanced at Jiang Baiyan, waiting for him to continue.

"The four-sided locking formation can trap evil spirits."
Jiang Baiyan: "Four warlocks guarded the four directions of southeast, northwest, and used spiritual energy as a lock to trap the monster in the middle and endure the severe pain."

Once the dog demon is trapped by the Four Directions Locking Formation, what awaits him will be tortured to death by Zhao Fengyang.

Shi Yunsheng listened quietly, his expression getting colder.
He has lived in the wild for so many years, eating hair and blood, and does not have as strong a sense of morality as most people.

In his view, it is only natural that murder should be repaid with life. Zhao Fengyang once brutally murdered a family of three, so he should pay with blood.

Yan Qinghuan's mood was also very complicated.

In the books on chivalry that he had read, Zhenesi was all looking for people who were full of evildoers, but this time...
The puppet master who made the whole Chang'an panic, in the final analysis, just wanted to avenge his former family.

When the truth was revealed, he had no hatred for the dog demon, and even subconsciously thought:
It turns out that's why those demons and ghosts controlled by puppetry will not attack people.

The dog demon had no intention of harming innocent people and gave no order to attack.
Even later, when the dog demon realized that the gathering of evil spirits would attract uncontrollable evil spirits, he even asked the hung ghost to protect the common people.

These three nights caused uproar throughout the city, and the only real dead were the three villains Qin Lihe, Chen Shuzhi and Mu Tao.

and so……
Walking towards the direction of the Villa, Yan Qinghuan pursed his lips.

Tonight is destined to be uneventful. When the dog demon confronts Zhao Fengyang, will they kill the dog demon and protect Zhao Fengyang?
Yan Qinghuan thought quietly, he definitely wouldn't do it anyway.
First of all, he must be a person who can distinguish between good and evil, and secondly, he must be the bell-ringing doctor of town Esley.

Zhao Fengyang's villa is located on the top of Mingyue Mountain.The group of people walked up from the foot of the mountain and reached the mountainside. Shi Dai frowned slightly.

Not right.

In winter, snow falls everywhere in the mountains. As far as the eye can see, it is all white.
At this moment, wisps of black smoke spread from the top of the mountain, like small snakes swimming, and soon covered most of the ground.

This familiar feeling...
Shi Dai's eyebrows twitched: "The puppet master has already taken action."

The condensation of black mist is a sign of demons and ghosts.

Zhao Fengyang was the main instigator of the massacre that year, and the dog demon would not spare any effort if he wanted to kill him.
This time, the demonic and ghostly auras have almost condensed into a solid entity, so strong that they cannot be dissolved. In the villa on the top of the mountain...

It must be filled with many evil spirits controlled by the puppet master.

"Not only the puppet master, there are also warlocks invited by Zhao Fengyang on the mountain."
Shen Liushuang smiled warmly, her eyes slightly curved, and she seemed to be filled with fierce fighting spirit: "It must be a fierce fight."

Ahri:......
This smiling tiger fighting maniac!

As she finished speaking, there was a gentle rustling of dead branches and leaves in the jungle not far away.

The mountains are covered with snow and the blue wind is howling.
Several black figures walked out of the forest. Some had arms like knives, some had red skirts like blood, and there were also angry ghosts hanging in the air, crying sadly.

They are the Dao Lao ghost, the Painted Skin demon and the Hanged ghost.

"These three kinds of ghosts correspond to the three members of the Zhang family."
Shi Dai understood: "The dog demon manipulated them to come to Mingyue Mountain together. It should be that they want to... take the wishes of the three deceased people to avenge Zhao Fengyang together."

"wait wait wait."
Yan Qinghuan keenly sensed something was wrong: "Do you feel that there is murderous intent in their eyes?"

The demons and ghosts controlled by the puppet master in the past would not show any obvious hostility!
"There are no people living in Mingyue Mountain, so you don't need to be timid in fighting for fear of hurting civilians."
Shen Liushuang was very calm: "What's more, Zhao Fengyang invited so many warlocks. If the dog demon wants to break through the siege, it can only rely on the demon ghost to take the initiative to attack."

In other words, the demons and ghosts all over the mountains and plains today are full of murderous intent.

"They are controlled by a puppet master and may not have any malicious intent."
Taking out a few talismans from her sleeves, Shi Dai said softly: "If you can, just cut off the spiritual thread, okay?"

Before she finished speaking, she saw a flash of sword light.
Jiang Baiyan's movements were so fast that it was difficult to catch them with his eyesight. The sword light enveloped the snow and bloomed. It was so powerful that people couldn't help but squint their eyes.

He drew his sword fiercely, seemingly not listening to what Shi Dai said, but when the sword energy fell, he could only cut off the puppet magic threads tied to the demon's limbs.
The spiritual thread broke, and several black figures collapsed to the ground.

Yan Qinghuan had never seen such a swift sword move before, and was stunned for a moment.

"Be normal. If you see it too much, you will get used to it."
Shi Dai patted him on the shoulder: "I once saw Mr. Jiang fight against dozens of Swordsman Ghosts alone, and he didn't lose at all. With a few swipes, his eyes closed and opened, and the Swordsman Ghosts were all gone."

This, this is Chang'an!
Yan Qinghuan was overjoyed: "He is really a god! This is much more powerful than the swordsman in the storybook!"

Jiang Baiyan:......
very noisy.

Shen Liushuang found it interesting. Even in such a dangerous place, he was always in a good mood and smiling.

Shi Yunsheng snorted coldly, curled his lips silently, and clenched the straight knife in his hand.
This knife is called Po Xiao and was given by Shi Jingcheng.He is no worse than Jiang Baiyan in using a knife.

The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the thicker the yin energy becomes.
In addition to the three kinds of ghosts controlled by the puppet master, there are also many evil spirits who are attracted, and the ghosts overlap and intersect.

Subconsciously, Shi Dai moved in front of Shi Yunsheng.

Shi Yunsheng raised his eyelids.
Although Shi Dai is his elder sister, she is several years older than him, but in terms of aura...
Just like a cat guarding a wolf.

She has a slender figure, and because she wants to catch monsters, her black hair is simply pulled up, exposing a fragile part of her neck.In contrast, the child behind him had sharp features and murderous intent in his eyes, and his whole body was like a knife that had not yet been drawn out of its sheath.

Shi Yunsheng wanted to stretch out his hand and pull her behind him, but his fingertips moved slightly, but he held back and only hummed: "What are you doing in front of me?"

Shi Dai turned her head sideways, swaying the talisman in her hand, and the flames suddenly burst out, burning several puppet spiritual threads.
She raised her lips and smiled, showing her tiger teeth. Her clear voice was incompatible with the ghostly spirit in the mountain: "Although my brother is very powerful, as a sister, I also want to protect you."

Shi Yunsheng:......
It felt like a gentle poke on the tip of his heart, and the little dissatisfaction he felt just after hearing them praise Jiang Baiyan disappeared.

The child pursed his lips to suppress a smile and pulled out the straight knife from his waist.

Tonight in Mingyue Mountain, demons are dancing wildly, and hundreds of ghosts are walking at night.
A roar sounded, and a giant shadow shrouded it, enveloping it with a cold and sinister air.

Shi Dai followed the reputation and held her breath.

Deep in the dense forest, a black shadow that looked like a human but not human came slowly.The giant shadow was more than three people tall. Its entire body was as black as ink, and the outline of a human figure could be vaguely discerned. The closer it got, the more suffocating it became.

The pressure surged like a tide, making people breathless.

Shi Yunsheng didn't care what it was.

The fighting spirit generated by Shi Dai's words was instantly ignited, and the knife rose up like a north wind sweeping the ground.

Dressed in black, he jumped up suddenly in the dusk, as if he was startled.
The blood in the eyes is thicker, which comes from the uncontrollable killing intent and joy when the wolves hunt their prey.

The long knife was raised, then fell suddenly, hitting the giant shadow's head.

"This, this is the legendary grudge spirit!"
Relying on the countless story books he had read, Yan Qinghuan recognized the identity of the monster at a glance: "The resentful spirit is made up of thousands of resentments and has taken physical form. Be careful--!"

Needless to say.

The grudge spirit was not killed by the knife, and raised his hands high, wrapping around Shi Yunsheng's right arm like vines——
But then, a shrill scream came out.

Shi Yunsheng laughed sinisterly, lowering his head and biting down. The sharp teeth were like blades, tearing off large pieces of flesh.

hiss…!
Shi Dai was about to use the talisman to support her, but when she saw this scene, she took a breath of air.

You can't eat this thing!
The flesh was bitten off by Shi Yunsheng, and the resentful spirit wailed.Jiang Baiyan's sword energy followed, and the rapid light turned into clear shadows, tearing apart the giant shadows vertically and horizontally.

Before the grudge spirit fell to the ground, Shi Yunsheng quickly jumped down and landed next to Shi Dai.
The child looked coldly and raised his head, as if waiting for her to say something.

The murderous aura around him has not receded, and there is a bright glint in his eyes. He is obviously eager to kill and is wild and untamable.
But such a boastful appearance... looks more like a peacock with its tail spread open.

Shi Dai couldn't help but chuckle: "That move just now was so powerful. I could feel the sword's intention from such a distance."

Humph.
Shi Yunsheng straightened his back and was about to say "It's a piece of cake" when something fell on his lips.

Shi Dai wrapped her right hand with her cuff. She moved gently but did not allow resistance, and wiped it on his lips: "How can you bite that thing casually? It's just dirty, but what if it's poisonous?"

……so troublesome.
He felt uncomfortable because of the rubbing. He licked the tips of his teeth and said dullly: "It's not a big deal."

When he was a child, he lived with wolves in the woods. Shi Yunsheng even ate rotten animal carcasses.It wasn't until I moved into Shi's Mansion that I had inexplicably extra rules. I had to have three meals a day, and I couldn't eat raw meat...
They were also stuffed with a lot of sweet and greasy desserts and fruits.

He did not avoid Shi Dai's touch and awkwardly looked away. Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Baiyan walking beside him.

hateful.
He could obviously deal with the grudge spirit alone, but Jiang Baiyan suddenly drew his sword.

Sensing this provocative gaze, Jiang Baiyan glanced at him sideways, and said in a calm tone, neither salty nor cold: "Just now, thank you very much, Young Master Shi, for your help."

Shi Yunsheng:......
This, this guy!

The child choked at his words and reluctantly puffed out his cheeks: "You're not bad either."

Shen Liushuang laughed out loud.

Walking beside her, Yan Qinghuan couldn't help but be curious and glanced at the black mask hanging around her waist.

He heard that Shen Liushuang was a famous Nuo master.
Nuo masters can penetrate the underworld, expel diseases and eliminate ghosts, and eliminate disasters and evil spirits.He heard that in some places, Nuo operas and dances were performed during festivals to worship gods and drive away ghosts.

Yan Qinghuan and Shen Liushuang met not long ago, but they had never seen her sing a Nuo opera before.The only time Shen Liushuang showed his skills was when Shen Liushuang smashed the stone next to the thief with one punch. It was very straightforward and violent.

Just as he was thinking secretly, his sleeve was suddenly gently tugged.

"Watch out."
Shen Liushuang whispered: "There is a trap ahead."

Before Yan Qinghuan could react, he saw Shi Dai wielding a Delirium Talisman.
The golden light shines like the rising sun, defeating the obstacles set by evil spirits.

In the blink of an eye, the originally seemingly empty mountain road was filled with hordes of hanged ghosts, scaring him to the point of trembling.

"I wonder how the fight is going on the mountain."
Chen Liushuang squinted her eyes and looked at the garden standing on the top of the mountain: "Let's fight quickly."

As she opened her mouth, she took off the mask from her waist and placed it lightly on her face.

The mask is dark, the facial features are straight, the eyes are wide open, and there are sharp fangs, which is majestic.
The Nuo mask that Shen Liushuang is wearing today is called General Kailu.

"One dozen thunders in the sky, two dozen thunders on the ground, three dozen..."
She turned her voice from flat to high, and a long knife actually appeared in Shen Liushuang's hand, which was completely black and surrounded by electric light.

Her voice was not loud, but every word was clear, like the cold winter wind and frost, making people tremble uncontrollably: "Three strikes, and all traces of the plague family's ghosts will be wiped out."

The sound falls and the thunder rises.
The dazzling thunder roared like a dragon, gathering into a huge net that covered the sky and the earth, trapping the evil spirits in it.

Chen Liushuang's long knife was charged with electricity, and wherever it passed, the spiritual threads were annihilated in chaos.

Yan Qinghuan:...
Yan Qinghuan's heart was beating wildly.Yan Qinghuan was in a trance for a while.Yan Qinghuan took a deep breath.

father, mother.
Chang'an...it's really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
*
Chang'an City tonight is destined to be unstable.

There was a dull thunder in the sky, but it didn't rain for a long time.In the villa on the top of Mingyue Mountain, there was a murderous atmosphere.

Zhao Fengyang leaned against the corner, looking at the scene in front of him with trembling fear.

He knew full well that he was not a good person.
Being kind to others is just a burden to him.Rather than working hard and being thankless, it is better to follow your heart.

Take what you like, grab what you want, and if anyone blocks his way, kill that person.
As long as he lives smoothly, what does it matter to others?
Just like when I saw that jade pendant more than 20 years ago.

The owner of the jade pendant was a farmer. Because his daughter was seriously ill, he had to sell family heirlooms to raise some money.

Zhao Fengyang had been in the black market for a long time, and he could tell at a glance that the jade pendant was something special.If he wanted to buy it, he would not be able to earn the money required in his lifetime.

But... who said he could only buy it?

Zhao Fengyang was good at making excuses, and pretended to be a buyer to talk to the farmer. When he heard that his daughter was sick, he proposed to go to his house to have a look, maybe he could help his daughter find a famous doctor.

He has never forgotten the farmer's expression at that time.Surprise, joy, and confusion were mixed with undisguised gratitude, as if I had met some kind person.
It's ridiculous.

What happened next was not far from what he expected.

The farmer led him and the three apprentices back home and entertained him warmly.On the surface, he was chatting and laughing, but he had already made plans in his heart.

In fact, Zhao Fengyang could not remember exactly what happened that night. All he could remember was the smell of blood that filled his nose, the endless cries and curses, and the blazing fire that filled his eyes.

Oh, and when he snatched away the jade pendant and thrust the blade into the farmer's heart, the latter's eyes were astonished.

It can't be his fault.
People are not killed for their own sake.

The jade pendant was sold at a high price on the black market. Since then, the four of them have completely turned around.

Chen Shuzhi was the youngest in the group and was timid. He was so frightened that he cried and even thought about giving up.
The result was that he was not blocked by money.

Qin Lihe and Mu Tao both chose to use the money to do business. Unfortunately, one had a bad temper and the other always liked to be a peacemaker. Their business was not big or small, and they could not make a name for themselves.

Only he, Zhao Fengyang, became the richest jade merchant in Chang'an day by day.So...why on earth, more than 20 years have passed since that incident, and there are still people seeking revenge?
He had clearly confirmed carefully that all the members of that family were completely dead, and even their bodies had been burned to ashes by the fire.

The news of his death for three consecutive days was like a bolt from the blue to him.
But why did he run away?He is rich and powerful, so why should he be afraid of an unknown puppet master?

Anyone who blocks the way will be killed.

Today he set up a dragnet in Mingyue Mountain, just waiting for the puppet master to fly into the flames.

Sure enough, the man heard the news and came.

Wearing a black robe and tall, Zhao Fengyang suddenly realized when he saw the two black dog ears on his head——
It turned out to be a demon that only cultivated into human form.

That family did have a dog.

The puppet master is not weak, but the seven warlocks he invited are by no means ordinary.
The two sides fought for a long time. Zhao Fengyang thought he was sure of victory, but gradually realized something was wrong.

At first, the puppet master seems to be alone, but in fact he controls dozens or hundreds of monsters.
The main hall of the villa had limited space and was occupied by a huge number of monsters. It was almost blocked, causing the warlocks to struggle.

Secondly, that dog demon, he fought with no regard for his life.
He didn't care about his injuries at all. Even if he was pierced by the Taoist priest's sword in the chest, he could still continue to fight after breaking free.

Warlocks are all paid to do things, how can they be willing to risk their lives, all of them are tied up.

However...Zhao Fengyang also discovered that the dog demon had never dealt a fatal blow to the warlock. He only tried briefly and never touched the vital points.

That mean monster wanted nothing more than to kill him.

Zhao Fengyang sneered.
It is precisely because of this meaningless kindness that the dog demon accidentally fell into the four-way locking formation.

Accompanied by several Taoist priests standing with swords in their hands, chanting the magic formula at the same time, a large formation suddenly rose up.
The chains are like giant pythons, surrounding the dog demon from all directions.The dog demon was already exhausted from the battle, and the chains penetrated the bones of his limbs.

He was still struggling, covered in blood, trying to break through the shackles.

Three of the warlocks were unconscious in the chaos, and the remaining four were scarred and could barely support the formation.
Seeing that one of them was about to lose his strength, Zhao Fengyang hurriedly shouted: "Hold on! He, he is the puppet master who committed three murders! If he breaks free of the formation, we will all die here!"

The four warlocks had to maintain the four-sided evil formation, but also had to be distracted to deal with many evil spirits, which was extremely miserable.

They also regret it.
The recent case of the Puppet Master made a lot of noise. When Zhao Fengyang approached them, he not only paid a large sum of money, but also made it clear that he had a chance to be a hero.

Once they get rid of the puppet master, they will surely become famous.

Which warlock has never had a dream of punishing evil and eradicating evil? They came here with confidence, and now...

A Taoist priest had a sweet taste in his throat. When he narrowly escaped death, he said his sincere words: "I need more money!"

"Okay, add money!"
Zhao Fengyang hurriedly responded: "Thank you all Taoist priests for protecting me from the evil demon."

Evil monster.
These two words fell upon his ears, and the dog demon in the center of the formation sneered.

He attracted ghosts and killed three people one after another, making everyone in Chang'an feel in danger.Thinking about it this way, he is indeed an evil monster.

So what?
The more noise he made, the more people knew about the stories he wrote.He has arranged for puppets to post "Dog Demon" on the city wall at midnight tonight.

Everyone will know who those four bastards are.

When he came to Mingyue Mountain, he guessed that Zhao Fengyang would not sit still and wait for death, so he had no intention of going back alive.
No matter what, I have to try to see if I can kill this moth with my own hands.

The dog demon has been waiting for this day for too long.

After the Zhang family was wiped out, he collected the bones and spent several days in despair before deciding to take revenge.

It took him a year to recover the demon pill, and in the following days, he began to investigate the identities of the four bandits while practicing his magic.
The reason why I learned puppetry was just to use puppets to imitate the appearance of the family of three and to accompany them when they were lonely.

The first person the dog demon found was Mu Tao.
Mu Tao's shop has become famous, and he has become a good person among his neighbors because of his charity.

Great Good Man, these three words are so ironic.

That day, he was standing on the street, watching Mu Tao talking eloquently surrounded by people, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
Just killing them is not enough.

He wanted to discredit these four bastards.
That's right... not only the people around them, but the entire Chang'an City should know what they have done.

Only in this way can the souls in heaven who died unjustly be comforted.

How to attract the attention of Chang'an City?
A piece of paper, a farce, a big enough stunt.

Over the years, he had recalled the stories written by Zhang Sanlang countless times, and they were so unforgettable.
He...should also be able to write.

As for slapstick and stunts, you can use puppetry.
This is actually very difficult. Let the controlled monsters wander around the streets without letting them actually hurt people——

Twenty years ago, that family always liked to pat him on the head and nag him not to bite strangers.
He remembers it all.

Later, he gradually found out the identities of the four bandits.
Later, his puppetry skills reached the realm of transformation.

His carefully planned revenge really shocked the whole of Chang'an.

Today, there is only one last goal left.

Consciousness gradually returned, and the dog demon gritted his teeth due to the severe pain all over his body.

He was tightly imprisoned by the four-sided lock formation, and all his limbs were pierced by chains, making him unable to move.
He sneered and held the chain hard, trying to pull it out of his flesh and blood.

Even if they die together, he will still fight his way out.

But God didn't intend to help him.
Without warning, the dog demon heard a Taoist priest exclaim: "There is someone outside! Could it be that Zhen'esi is here?!"

The smile on his lips froze.

Zhen Ersi!
On the other side, the frightened Zhao Fengyang was also slightly startled.

Who doesn't know that Zhen'Esi has been hunting down the puppet master recently?As long as the adults from Zhen'Esi arrive... this dog demon will be finished!
"Look at you, how embarrassed you are now."
The ecstasy of surviving the disaster almost made him laugh out loud and cry: "Zhen'es is here! Now, how do you want to kill me?"

*
All the way to the top of the mountain, Shi Dai shivered from the biting cold wind.
This villa should be used to escape the summer heat.

Entering the villa, the number of demons and ghosts controlled by the puppet master increased dramatically.

The Painted Skin and Hanged Ghosts are okay, but the too dense density of Dao Lao Ghosts is really unbearable.

According to Yan Qinghuan, the long knives on the arms of this monster are poisonous.
They had fought against the Dao Lao Ghost before, but at that time they could only approach a few together. Unlike now, when more than 20 Dao Lao Ghosts surrounded the entrance of the main hall.

Through a few gaps, Shi Dai faintly glimpsed the scene inside the house.

The four-sided locking formation has been activated, and a figure in the center is dripping with blood and is tightly bound.

Is that the Puppet Master?

"Everyone, be careful and try to avoid Dao Laogui's sword."
Yan Qinghuan said urgently: "The roar of the Dao Lao ghost can be transformed into wind blades. The wind blades are non-toxic... but the two ones they carry are highly poisonous."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Baiyan glanced at him and said in his usual tone: "Master Yan said that he would be able to detoxify this poison."

This... it will indeed happen.
Yan Qinghuan was stunned and nodded.

Looking up again, he saw Jiang Baiyan's wrist bones moving slightly, and the long sword stretched out: "I will open the way."

Yan Qinghuan:? !
The puppet master obviously noticed their arrival, and the demons gathered in front of the main hall and attacked fiercely.
If you want to break through the encirclement, it is impossible not to get injured.

Jiang Baiyan didn't care about this.
No matter the pain or poison, as long as there is still one life left, in his opinion, it is not a loss.

Furthermore... he enjoys the pleasure of killing and is also addicted to the piercing pain.

His movements are extremely fast, and his sword energy is as bright as the bright moon.Several knife labor ghosts swarmed up to him, and their blades fell on his back shoulders.
There is pain and numbness.

Jiang Baiyan laughed silently and waved his sword.

More sword lights roared towards him, but this time, Jiang Baiyan was slightly startled.

Shi Yunsheng rushed forward at some point, gritting his teeth to block the attack from behind.Shen Liushuang faced a gust of wind knife, his cheek was cut with several bloody wounds, and he held the thunder blade to split the bright color.

Three fire talismans came out from Shi Dai's hand, and the fire suddenly started. Jiang Baiyan heard her voice: "We are a small team. Even if we are injured, how can we let you go alone?"

Jiang Baiyan didn't quite understand.

He has been the evil cultivator's puppet for a long time, and has become accustomed to standing in the front and bearing the pain with his body.

Why should they follow?Let him clean up all the demons and ghosts, and then move forward unimpeded...
Wouldn't it be a better choice for them?
"S-Sir, help!"
In the main hall, Zhao Fengyang shouted at the top of his lungs: "I don't know anything, this mad dog is clinging to me...Help!"

God will not kill him!

The puppet master killed three people in a row, and in the eyes of Zhen'Esi, he was already a very vicious person.The people in front of me must have come here to hunt him down.

As long as they kill the dog demon, there will be no witnesses to the family murder case more than 20 years ago, and there will be no evidence.
He can still be his big jade boss and cut off contact with the past. Any karma and retribution are all a joke!

There was a fanatical smile in his eyes, but tears were streaming down Zhao Fengyang's face: "He is the puppet master! My lords, kill him quickly!"

In the center of the four-sided lock formation, chains collided and made a loud crash.

His whole body was numb with pain. The dog demon took a strong breath and clenched his fists.

He didn't expect that Zhen'Esi could be found so quickly——
Although he left the manuscript of "The Dog Demon" in the wooden house, he did not reveal the identity of the last person.

How can they find Mingyue Mountain?

If only those four exhausted Taoist priests had risked their lives, he might have been able to kill Zhao Fengyang before he died.Now that Zhenesi has arrived, he can do nothing but die.

His chest was filled with despair, and he refused to give in.
How could he be willing to do so.

The enemy is right in front of him, but he is trapped in place by the iron chain. It is clear that he is just a little bit away...
Why can't I always reach it?
In the end, he was still so useless.
Just like 20 years ago, when the fire gradually engulfed the three people.

"quick!"
Zhao Fengyang urged urgently: "You, those four Taoist priests, quickly strengthen the formation and kill-ah!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was so frightened that he screamed.

That dog demon... actually held a chain in his hand and wanted to pull out the entire chain that penetrated the bone and blood!

The murderous intention that swallowed up the heaven and the earth enveloped him, and he understood with horror:
This monster plans to die together!
"Something's not right inside."
Shen Liushuang made a quick decision: "Yun Sheng and I will hold off these monsters, and Dai Dai and Young Master Jiang will take the opportunity to enter the main hall. How about that?"

Both Dog Demon and Zhao Fengyang wanted to kill each other. At such a critical moment, no one would care even if Zhen'Esi's name was given.
To put it bluntly, it is impossible for the dog demon to trust Zhenesi and surrender obediently.

Shi Dai nodded.

In the main hall, the evil spirit became stronger and stronger.
If you forcefully break away from the four-sided locking formation, you will encounter strong backlash.After just pulling out the first chain, the dog demon's face turned white and he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The four Taoist priests were seriously injured, and they groaned as they received backlash at this moment.

The formation was crumbling.

Just a little.
With three more... he could kill that man.

Unfortunately, it seems it's too late.

The sword energy suddenly came from behind, and someone from Zhen'esi entered the main hall.

Reluctance, despair, anger, and hopeless pain are devastating, burning all limbs and bones.
The moment the sword light was approaching, the dog demon's eyes shed scarlet tears of blood, and he rushed towards Zhao Fengyang——

He actually wanted to risk his life and use the power of the demon pill to forcibly defeat the formation at the cost of his own death!
The man holding the sword was a strong man and faster than him.
Before he could break out of the four-dimensional locking formation, the sword edge had already passed by his throat.Immediately following, there was a dazzling golden talisman light.

……finished?
His vision was blurred by blood and tears. Unexpectedly, the severe pain did not come as expected.

what……?
Why...is he still alive?

A drop of bloody tears fell, and the dog demon vaguely realized something. He lowered his head and looked at his blood-stained hands and feet.

On the wrists and ankles that should have been pierced, there are chains formed by the square formation...
Disappeared.

His body couldn't stop shaking, and tears fell in large drops. His back trembled slightly, and he gritted his teeth and looked to his side.

The sword energy cut off the formation eye, and the talisman landed on the formation eye accurately.
They didn't hurt him at all.

The formation's eyes were broken, and the four-dimensional locking formation perished.

--why?
Shi Dai was also a little confused.

The dog demon tries to forcefully break through the formation, but even if he can get out, he will end up with a tragic death.
Without much hesitation, she directly destroyed the formation eye with the ever-lighting lamp on.

She didn't expect that Jiang Baiyan would actually do the same thing.

With some confusion, Shi Dai looked up and realized that Jiang Baiyan was also looking at her.
There is neither sadness nor joy in those narrow peach blossom eyes, which seem to be smeared with ink. If you look closely, you can see some obscure meanings.

I remembered.
Jiang Baiyan... was also wiped out when he was a child. To this day, he is still investigating the clues to the murder of the Jiang family.

In fact, he can most empathize with the obsession and unwillingness in the dog demon's heart.

He didn't say anything along the way. What was Jiang Baiyan thinking when he heard the Zhang family's story?
"Um……"
Taking a gentle breath, Shi Dai glanced at the formation eye that was damaged by the two of them, raised her lips and smiled: "The talisman was knocked crooked just now. It's strange, how did it fall on the formation eye?"

She had some injuries on her body, and she was standing in the blood-soaked main hall, slender but upright, like a bamboo in the dark wind and rain.

How could Jiang Baiyan not understand what she meant.
The young man looked at her intently, then chuckled softly for a long time: "The sword is also crooked."

What, what? !
Coldness climbed up his spine like a vine, Zhao Fengyang's eyes widened, and his palms were soaked in cold sweat.

What's wrong?You are suppressing Esi...you are suppressing Esi, are you so partial to murderers? !
The provocative smile disappeared. When the bloody figure slowly approached him, this powerful jade merchant, known for his cold-blooded cruelty, shed two lines of hot tears from his eyes.

He wanted to retreat and escape, but his legs became weak unconsciously, and he suddenly collapsed on the ground.

"Don't, don't...where's the Taoist priest, Taoist priest!"
Cursing and turning his head, he realized that several Taoist priests had already exhausted their spiritual energy and fell to the ground unconscious.

In front of him, the dog demon was getting closer and closer to him.

How did things turn out like this?
"I... I was wrong."
Fear gripped him tightly, and unprecedented despair surged down. Zhao Fengyang trembled and choked: "What do you want? I have money, lots and lots of money, I can give it to you! Or apologize? I was wrong, really wrong! forgive me!"

The other party ignored it and moved his fingers.

The spiritual thread was pulled, and a sword-laden ghost walked over.

"Do you remember? Zhang Sanlang."
The dog demon chuckled in a low voice, his eyes were scarlet with blood and tears, which was particularly scary: "He kindly invited you to be a guest at home, but you hacked him to death with random knives."

The smile in his eyes grew stronger, and the dog demon used a gentle tone: "Go."

As soon as the voice fell, Dao Laogui swung his long knife, the sharp blade landed on Zhao Fengyang's chest, arms and thighs again and again.

No matter how much he cried for mercy, he never stopped.
Just like how they treated Zhang Sanlang back then.

"After that……"

The spiritual thread was pulled again, and this time it was the Painted Skin Demon.

"Zhang Xiaowan...she even called you uncle."
The dog demon tilted his head: "Do you know what she likes to do the most? It's painting."

Zhao Fengyang shivered in pain, and for some reason, a biting coldness ran down his spine.
The next moment, he heard the dog demon's voice: "Go. This is the painting skin for you."

This...this madman! ! !
Zhao Fengyang's wailing tore through the night. Starting from his right hand, he felt severe pain that he had never experienced in his life.

But it's not over yet.
A hanged ghost walked out from the side, and the dog demon whispered: "Yue Niang. When you were killing Zhang Sanlang, she desperately tried to block the knife for her husband, but in the end she got a hemp rope."

The ghostly aura was so strong that Zhao Fengyang was engulfed by a strong sense of suffocation.

Tears welled up, and he could only cry and repeat over and over again: "Please, don't kill me."

The dog demon smiled.

He has waited for this moment for too long.
Painted-skin demons, hanged ghosts and sword-fighting ghosts surrounded him, and he took out a knife from his arms.

It was the knife used by four bandits to kill a family of three. It was abandoned in the mountains by the four bandits because it was stained with blood.
The dog demon picked it up and kept it.

Are they, who have already returned to the underworld, watching this scene at this moment?
The blade slowly sank in, piercing Zhao Fengyang's chest bit by bit.
The dog demon closed his eyes, and his voice was hoarse and trembling: "This sword is for Saburo."

Then came the second blow.
"This sword is for Yueniang."

Zhao Fengyang was speechless, only tears could not stop falling, and he wanted to curse. When the words came to his lips, they turned into desperate cries: "Please, please..."

"This knife is for Xiaowan."

The hatred and grievances that lasted for more than 20 years were settled tonight by him and them.
Soon, through that piece of paper posted on the city wall, the whole of Chang'an will know the truth of that year.

The last knife fell on Zhao Fengyang's heart.

"This knife..."
The dog demon whispered: "Go to hell with all the stigma on your body."
