Qugou Village was about three or four stops away from the outskirts of the city, one of the few urban villages in the city that had not been demolished or redeveloped. Due to its proximity to the train station and the cheap rent, the population here was extremely diverse—migrant workers, pyramid scheme members, and solicitors were all present. The courtyard was filled with a pungent smell, and clothes were haphazardly hung all over the place. Every night, ordinary tenants would lock their doors early to…- 380.6 K • Completed
- When Wei Yang returned with the food, he was momentarily stunned upon entering the room. Master Zeng was already sitting up by the bed, seemingly awake for some time, while the Little Celestial Master sat obediently beside him, diligently engaged in his usual routine of drawing talismans and performing his rituals. On any other day, this scene would have been perfectly ordinary, but after the events of that morning, even the seasoned conman couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. Seeing Wei Yang…

- For the next two days, Wei Yang was kept busy, running around to set up the plan. The police who had been sent out to investigate had not reported back any news. The Jiangtou Master seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind. This was a case that had even caught the attention of the Provincial Public Security Department, and yet the perpetrator had managed to hide so thoroughly that it was almost terrifying. However, this situation also proved that the other party had not given up. As…

- It was said that they would arrive in the afternoon, but by the time Uncle Qi returned, it was already dark. Besides the ancient book, he also brought some news. "What? Old Jiang is in the hospital too?!" After a full day of bed rest, Old Yao had recovered quite well and was now able to get out of bed. Apart from some lingering stiffness in his legs, there were no signs of his previous soul-loss symptoms. "That's right. Apparently, it was also a home invasion. Not only was his house completely…

- His voice was unprecedentedly stern, and Wei Yang didn't dare hesitate. He immediately took off the leather cord around his neck and handed it over. Zeng Jingxuan didn't stand on ceremony either. He took the bone segment and examined it carefully, as though it wasn't unfamiliar to him. Wei Yang couldn't help but feel nervous. Did Master Zeng know about these bone formations? Or had he heard of things like witch bones? Sure enough, a few minutes later, Zeng Jingxuan put down the leather cord and…

- That night, both the railway bureau and the public security bureau mobilized their forces, spending the entire night to suppress the incident. It was said that the case was eventually portrayed as the work of a theft gang, with the security guard having been drugged by the culprits. The shattered glass and explosions were attributed to malfunctioning tools used in the crime. As for the middle-aged man lying in the back alley, his death was also labeled as an accident caused by myocardial infarction. As for…

- That's right, there were two people! The alley nearby had no streetlights, and from inside the room, only a blurry shadow could be seen. However, when the overwhelming killing intent surged, the man in the shadow also revealed himself. In an instant, Zhang Xiuqi understood that the sleeping curse cast downstairs was merely a diversion, and the real killing move was in the back alley. This was completely unexpected. After all, Old Yao was just an ordinary person. Who could have imagined that the enemy…

- The hand that had been gripping him tightly loosened, and before Wei Yang could react, he heard Zhang Xiuqi blurt out, "Uncle?" Could it be Master Zeng? Watching the rare look of panic on the Little Celestial Master's back, Wei Yang couldn't help but feel nervous as well. He hadn't expected Master Zeng to be involved in Old Yao's case. Could it be that Old Yao's soul hadn't been captured because of this? But where is Master Zeng now? Before he could step forward, Zhang Xiuqi had already turned and…

- The return journey was twice as fast as the trip there. When they parked the car in front of Treasure House again, Heipi, who was guarding the door, rushed over in a flash, yanked open the car door, and shouted at Wei Yang, "Ah Yang, hurry! Uncle Qi is waiting in the courtyard!" Knowing the situation was urgent, Wei Yang didn't waste any time. He quickly led the Little Celestial Master into the courtyard. Uncle Qi wasn't in the workshop anymore; instead, he was pacing anxiously in the small courtyard…

- Something that Uncle Qi treated with such seriousness must either be a rare manuscript or a precious edition. Wei Yang didn't dare to be careless, immediately putting on gloves and carefully approaching the table to examine it. It was an ancient book with brittle pages, filled with tiny traditional Chinese characters in clerical script. Many pages were accompanied by illustrations or a few strokes of talismanic symbols. It didn't seem like an ordinary book; instead, it resembled a diary or a draft. The…
