"You little bastards, hurry up and practice boxing." Fang Dalong yelled at the children around the aunts.
"Yes, Dad." Six children immediately responded loudly, but they couldn't help but look curiously at the eldest brother of the family. I heard that the eldest brother was a high official in the court and an exorcist. . But Dad's prestige was too great, so the six children all went to practice boxing as usual.
"Qier, I'll take you to your room." Fang Dalong said to his eldest son in a gentle tone.
Meng Chuan did understand Fang Dalong’s family history.
Fang Dalong's ability to rise from an ordinary country boy depends on his ability to fight. There are also boxing techniques in this world, and there are also so-called boxing masters... But the boxing masters only have the power of a thousand catties, and can defeat one against a hundred by relying on their exquisite boxing skills. With the rise of firearms, the status of boxing has declined. After all, more than a dozen muskets were fired at the same time, and the boxing masters had to flee in panic. After all, they were also made of flesh and blood, and if they ran a little slower, they would have a few more holes in their bodies.
"This courtyard is yours." Fang Dalong took Meng Chuan to a small courtyard. "The layout of the house is the same as that of my hometown."
As he said this, he opened the door and entered.
Meng Chuan could tell at a glance that the house was cleaned frequently, very clean, and the layout was similar to what he remembered. There was also a photo of a couple holding their child.
Couple, the man is Fang Dalong when he was young, but the woman is a gentle woman.
"All your things were moved from your hometown together, and not a single thing was lost." Fang Dalong said, walking over and gently wiping the photo. When he was young, taking pictures was very luxurious, and he I still happily took my wife and children to the city to take pictures.
When he was sixteen, Fang Dalong got married. His wife was seventeen, one year older.
He started from scratch and built a big business in that chaotic world. He had contacts with the rebel forces and had a good relationship with the local court officials. He was so powerful that he was a hundred miles away. After attacking him, the official was assassinated by the rebels.
A group of local fierce people believed in him and followed him, and he even brought many fellow villagers to Binhai.
"What I regret most is that I agreed to let you go to the capital and go to the Exorcist Academy." Fang Dalong put down the photo, sat on the bed and sighed. At this moment, this old father has aged a lot.
"I wanted to be an exorcist in the first place. I don't blame you." Meng Chuan said.
When Fang Qi was young, he heard about the scene of exorcists exorcising demons, and he yearned for it.
"I don't agree. How can a little kid like you go to the capital?" Fang Dalong glanced at his son and sighed, "I was too ambitious at the time and thought that firearms were too powerful. Our Fang family Relying on boxing skills is not reliable enough, you have to learn more powerful skills, so I asked you to go to the Exorcist Academy in the capital... In this troubled world, even gold, silver and food are useless. You can only rely on people and powerful skills to gain a foothold. Everyone must be in awe of the exorcist's methods."
Meng Chuan could see that Fang Dalong was indeed a heroic figure.
In his hometown, he led a group of fierce men and was powerful for hundreds of miles. Coming to Binhai City, the most prosperous city nowadays, to be able to buy such a big house, there are more than a dozen nursing staff, which shows that it is still quite prestigious.
"I'm ashamed of your mother. I swore in front of your mother's grave that I would take good care of you two brothers and sisters. I broke my promise." Fang Dalong's voice was a little weak.
In the outside world, he is still fierce, but after all, he is over forty years old, and he can feel that his body is not as good as before.
"But it's good if you come back." Fang Dalong looked at his son, "When you come back, find a few women, have a few babies, and live a good life."
"Where's the little sister?" Meng Chuan changed the topic.
"Your sister is out in the field again. I spoil her too much and I can't control her anymore." Fang Dalong shook his head and said, although he later married some concubines and had other children, Fang Qi was the only one. He loves the brother and sister Fang Qian the most and can't control them the most.
Meng Chuan nodded.
In my memory, my sister Fang Qian is Fang Qi’s half-sister.
By inheriting this body, he owes Fang Qi karma. Meng Chuan naturally attaches great importance to the people Fang Qi cares about most.
......
Only half an hour later, my sister Fang Qian rushed back.
"Brother, brother." Fang Qian with wavy hair ran quickly along the corridor to Meng Chuan's courtyard.
Meng Chuan heard the sound and walked out of the house. He saw an energetic young and beautiful woman at a glance. His sister Fang Qian looked a bit like her mother in the photo, but she was younger. , eyes are bright. After all, he grew up practicing boxing and is very energetic.
Fang Qian also looked at the young man in cloth in front of her. His sleeves were empty and he had obviously lost his arm. His breath was restrained and calm. He didn’t look like someone in his early twenties at all, but more like an old man in his forties or fifties who had experienced hardships. generation.
Fang Qian looked at her brother's appearance. He was already a teenager when he left home. He could still see his original appearance, but he was more mature.
It’s just this temperament...
Fang Qian knew that the broken arm must be a huge blow to her brother.
"Brother." Fang Qian ran over and hugged her brother tightly, her tears soaking Meng Chuan's clothes.
******
"Third sister, now that the young master is back, I will not let him take charge of the family, right?"
"My master is very fond of those brothers and sisters."
The five women gathered together, eating snacks and discussing.
"Don't worry, if Fang Qi, the eldest young master, was not disabled and had the ability to exorcise demons, he would most likely be in charge of the family. But he is disabled, and our Fang family is also a big family. Let a disabled person take charge of the family. The family will become a joke in Binhai City. I heard that after becoming disabled, my ability to exorcise demons is no longer good, and I can’t even use firearms. In this world, I am not qualified to run a family." San Yiniang said confidently.
Nowadays, the third aunt has the highest status in the Fang family's backyard. After all, she is one of the dozens of murderers who follow the master. Her marksmanship is also very accurate, and she also has many people under her command.Fate, after marrying the master, the other aunts will naturally be afraid of her, and her knowledge will be much wider.
Her speculation is very reasonable. Fang Qi, who was originally just an ordinary exorcist, could only deal with a strange demon with the combined efforts of several companions. After losing his arm, his strength is probably only 10%... He is not even qualified to join forces with his companions to fight against the evil monster. Even if the ability to exorcise demons is useless, it is not far behind.
It’s just that Meng Chuan’s arrival is naturally different.
......
What reassures these aunts is that the young master 'Fang Qi' will not interfere with anything at home after he comes back. The master gave him money, but the eldest young master refused. Instead, he took out an 'orb' and arranged for people in the house to buy exorcism materials. This made Fang Dalong a little more solemn. It seems that his eldest son has not been living in vain these years. Ah, those aunts were dumbfounded. Most of them were short-sighted and only married the master for money and survival.
That fist-sized orb must be worth ten thousand taels! This young master has been in the capital for so many years and is very fat. Immediately, some young aunts changed their attitude and tried to please him.
Meng Chuan naturally looked down upon the accumulation of the Fang family. With his ability, when the palace was in chaos, he used illusions to pick up some rare treasures of the royal family and picked up half a package. "Baby" is a hundred times richer than the Fang family, and can definitely be regarded as the top richest man in the entire Binhai City.
There is no way. Meng Chuan wants to refine the magic weapon. The more precious the material, the higher the price. You may not even be able to buy it. The orbs worth tens of thousands of taels he publicly presented... were just about the cheapest of the treasures in his package.
"Now, the thunder method and the five elements method have been cultivated to the realm of the heavenly master, and the method of formation and weapon refining still needs to be studied." Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the room with a calm expression.
Thunder method is divided into many secret combat methods and escape methods.
The method of the five elements is also divided into many secret methods and the five elements escape method.
If you can’t fight, you have to be able to escape! After all, he is now a mortal. If he fails and loses his life, then he has failed to transcend the tribulation.
So Meng Chuan attaches great importance to escape methods. He has learned the fastest lightning escape method, as well as the Five Elements escape method that can cope with various dangerous environments. When he was in the Exorcist Academy, his thunder method reached the level of the Celestial Master. territory! The Five Elements Technique is relatively more complex. After obtaining three exorcism treasure books from the palace, I returned to Binhai City and practiced for half a year before reaching the realm of the Heavenly Master.
"The first step in my practice is to reach the realm of a heavenly master in exorcism, weapon refining, and formations. Now the first step is still far behind." Meng Chuan thought.
To become the strongest in this world, according to his plan, he must first follow the system of this world and practice to the strongest level, including weapon refining and formations.
After you have enough experience, the second step is to create and try to create stronger methods.
The third step is to refine the ‘magic weapon’ and ‘magic circle’ that best suits you.
The reason why people are human is because they are good at using tools! Many of the original magic weapons and formations in this world have been damaged after too long. Meng Chuan, who came to save the second place, didn’t like it either.After all, those weapon-refining exorcists have limited realms. Only by refining the most powerful magic weapon and the most powerful formation, and combining it with many of their own exorcism secrets, can they hope to reach an unprecedented level.
"Even so, can the Origin Demon be killed?" Meng Chuan didn't know.
Because the source demon never died.
"Find a few demons to practice." Every time Meng Chuan achieved success in practice, he would find demons to test, and then took out a compass, a magic weapon: "Trace the demonic energy."
This compass is a magic weapon. It can be controlled to sense the demonic energy within a range of thirty miles.
"Huh?" Looking at the black light on the compass, Meng Chuan was surprised, "With such strong demonic energy, is it a big devil? A big devil appears in Binhai City?"
"I I have never encountered a big demon before coming to this world." Meng Chuan was moved.
For a long time, the Origin Demon only had nine heads, but they were all banned. Once the ban is broken and one of them comes out, it will be a huge disaster.
Although there are more big demons, they are still extremely rare. There may be dozens of them in the world today, but they are scattered all over the world... Meng Chuan wants to encounter one, unless he deliberately looks for it. It's quite difficult.
Staying in Binhai City, encounter a big demon?
At this night, Meng Chuan quietly left Fang Mansion, holding a compass and following the devil's energy, tracking all the way.
After walking for more than ten miles, Meng Chuan came to a prosperous area. Meng Chuan looked up and saw a large number of military guards in front of a luxurious mansion. There were also distinguished guests arriving in cars. This car 'It is a new thing that appeared almost at the same time as the rise of firearms. A car costs thousands of taels of silver and is a status symbol in Binhai City.
"President Wan, please."
"Caravan leader, you can't go in without the commander inviting you."
"Mr. Wu, please." "
"Master Liu, please."
One after another prominent figures in Binhai City entered the mansion.
"Mother Xipi, after all, there are hundreds of people in our Blood Ax Ranking, but my majestic gang leader won't let me in. I'm really looking down on you." A well-dressed man was quite unwilling and looked at The mansion with bright lights and many noble people entering was the mansion of the Marshal, the most popular person in the entire Binhai City now.
Meng Chuan watched these from a distance outside the mansion.
"Huh?" Meng Chuan saw it.
Three cars arrived in a row, and six people came out of the three cars and walked towards the mansion. Among the six people was Fang Dalong.
"Father, is he gone too?" Meng Chuan thought thoughtfully. Fang Dalong brought his fellow villagers to Binhai City and joined his friend's gang, the 'Gold and Silver Gang'. One of the big gangs, Fang Dalong ranks fifth in the Gold and Silver Gang.
Meng Chuan also walked over.
This young man with a broken arm walked over, but did not attract any attention from all parties, and seemed to ignore him instinctively.
"Please." The greeter in front of the gate did not stop him, but instead let Meng Chuan in with a smile.
Meng Chuan walked into the mansion, walked through the front yard, and came to aThere were many guests sitting in the brightly lit hall. There was a high platform at the front of the hall. On the high platform, there were singers singing, and a group of dancers wearing only a few pieces of thin cloth danced in a fiery way. This singer is also a famous singer in Binhai City, but today few of the many guests sitting in the hall paid attention to her.
"The commander-in-chief has taken over half of Binhai City. He has summoned all the prominent people in Binhai City here today. I am afraid that the people who come here are not evil."
"Humph, he has not done everything thoroughly. If all parties join forces to occupy Binhai City, he will have to flee back."
"How can it be so easy if all parties join forces?" >
The guests were talking quietly.
Fang Dalong sat there, frowning slightly.
"Brothers, the Marshal never summoned our Gold and Silver Gang when he came to Binhai City, but the first summons was in public. It feels wrong." The leader's thin old man's voice was cold.
"It depends on the situation." The majestic man next to him said.
"When I visited before, I always stayed behind closed doors. I am asking for a lot." A fair-skinned man said softly.
“Look how big his appetite is.” Fang Dalong said.
......
Meng Chuan was sitting at a corner table. There were two guests at the same table. They all smiled and nodded to Meng Chuan, but they were slightly confused. , seems...not to know this person.
"A warlord, there are sixteen strange demons and one big demon in his house." Meng Chuan was a little surprised. He could already sense it at such a close distance. The aura of the big demon was deep and vast, far beyond Meng Chuan's. Sichuan. It's just that the exorcist uses the power of heaven and earth to fight against the enemy...the strength cannot be judged from the surface.
After a while, the singing and dancing ended.
Finally, surrounded by two lieutenants, a middle-aged man with a straight figure and sharp eyes in military uniform walked to the center of the stage. Suddenly all the guests in the audience fell silent. The man in front of them was now Binhai The most powerful man in the city.
“Everyone, Shi has led the army to fight for more than ten years. Now the Dayu Dynasty has finally been overthrown, but many brothers in the army have fallen on the road. They fight with money, and Shi even pensions his elders. "Brothers, I can't even spare any money. I'm sorry for the old brothers who went out with me." The middle-aged man sighed, "Shi knows that Binhai City is a city of heroes, and you are among the best. I look forward to seeing you today." Shi will be grateful for your support. With your wealth, if you are still stingy, you will be my enemy."
The middle-aged man looked at the person sitting in the front row. of a fat man.
The fat man even said loudly: "The commander-in-chief will lead the army to fight, and we will naturally be able to help. I am willing to contribute one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"President Wan, thank you. ." The commander smiled and nodded.
The expressions of many guests below changed.
President Wan is not a big shot among the upper echelons of Binhai City, but he has to spend one hundred thousand taels. That the highest-ranking force is not allowed to use "one million taels" as a unit? This is not blood sucking;I want to cut off my thigh!
"Master Li, where are you?" The commander's eyes fell on an old man next to President Wan.
"I, I am willing to pay..." the old man gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to pay thirty thousand taels! Commander, this is all my liquid money."
"Too much That’s stingy.”
The commander shook his head.
Bang!
A bloody hole appeared between the old man's eyebrows, and blood was pouring out. It was one of the many soldiers standing at the edge of the hall who shot him.
This made the entire hall tremble.
"I said, stinginess is Shi's enemy." The commander's sharp eyes showed murderous intent, "The enemy must be killed, of course."
"How much do you pay? Money, it depends on each other's wishes. Even if the commander is not satisfied, we can discuss it. Why not just shoot him without giving him a chance to talk?" An old man with a sarcoid between his eyebrows sitting in the front row said calmly.
“If you want money so much, are you going to rob the entire Binhai City and risk losing your teeth?” Another young man with his wife also sneered.
Meng Chuan knew these two people. They were both quite famous exorcists. There were two major exorcism sects in the coastal area, the 'Soul Bell Sect' and the 'Sea Demon Sect'. The sect has a long history, with exorcists and exorcists as the core. In troubled times, there are guns and men... and various means of exerting the power of heaven and earth. This is the real top force in Binhai City.
The commander looked at the two people and knew the sects behind these two representatives. He couldn't help but smile: "Shi Mou admires the exorcism sect's contribution to countless people. The Soul Bell Sect and the Hai... The demon sect only needs one million taels of silver, and Shi will be satisfied."
"With your tens of thousands of troops?" the young man said lightly, stroking his wife's hand.
The Sea Demon Sect has thousands of well-equipped men and horses, and even controls a number of 'Sea Demons'. In a head-on fight, the Sea Demon Sect is not afraid of the so-called 30,000 army. It's just a sect with a long tradition and rarely fights.
When it comes to battles in the hall, the exorcist has never been afraid of a small number of battles! Exorcists are the only beings in this world who can deal with demons, even demons, let alone mortals.
"The commander-in-chief is fighting in all directions. Comrades from the Sea Demon Sect and the Soul Bell Sect should understand the commander-in-chief's hard work." An old man in gray robes appeared from the illusion and stood beside the commander-in-chief.
"Sect Master Feng?"
"Sect Master Feng?"
The expressions of the young man and the old man with sarcoma changed.
The gray-robed old man in front of me is the contemporary master of the Demon Refining Sect, one of the top ten sects in the world. The Demon Refining Sect is a lineage that focuses on controlling demons! The Demon Refining Sect has refined a total of three 'big demons' in its history. Two of these three big demons are still alive today. Although it is difficult to drive...but driving one big demon is comparable to the strength of an exorcist. . Master Feng is the one who can drive the 'big demon' in the sect and is a real big figure in the world of exorcism.
"Comrades from the Soul Bell Sect and the Sea Demon Sect, each took outOne million taels of silver, I believe they are willing. "The old man in gray robe said with a smile.
The young man and the old man with sarcoma looked at each other.
" Master Feng said, we are willing to give the commander this face. "The young man and the old man with sarcoma can only endure it. After all, the two major sects in Binhai City combined are inferior to the Demon Refining Sect. The masters of the Demon Refining Sect have all appeared, and there are also other exorcists from the Demon Refining Sect. Follow.
"It seems that in these troubled times, the Demon Refining Sect supports Marshal Shi in his fight for the world. "All parties in the hall also understand this.
Now that warlords have emerged in the world, Marshal Shi's strength is not outstanding, and he is not considered first-rate, but there are also powerful exorcists behind the first-rate warlords. Force support.
Shuai Shi can make the Demon Refining Sect support, and the opinions of all parties have also changed.
"My Li family is willing to support the marshal with two hundred thousand taels. "
"My Fu family is willing to pay two hundred thousand taels. ”
All parties followed the example of President Wan, who was the first, and gritted their teeth and made bids based on their own strength.
The commander-in-chief’s army alone is not terrible, but if you add the world’s top The great exorcism force, the Demon Refining Sect, is a bit scary.
“My Gold and Silver Gang is willing to give me one million taels. "The leader of the Gold and Silver Gang also spoke.
"The Gold and Silver Gang is one of the three major gangs in Binhai City and is famous for its wealth of gold and silver. One million taels is too little. Marshal Shi smiled and said, "Shi thinks that five million taels is more in line with the status of your Gold and Silver Gang." ”
The expressions of several senior members of the Gold and Silver Gang changed drastically.
The Gold and Silver Gang is indeed powerful, but with so many gang members, their daily consumption is also staggering. The gang looks glamorous on the surface , but the actual situation is not as good as that of some big businesses. Taking out one million taels has already drained the gang's cash flow, and the gang will have to mortgage its assets for the next operation. As for five million taels, it is no longer a cut. It's terrible.
Shuai Shi looked at it with a smile, but his eyes were cold.
He can be soft-hearted for a big family with strong exorcism power.
< p>As for the so-called three major gangs? A group of gangsters, he has no intention of letting any of them go."The three major gangs have equal status. Each party will give five million taels. I feel pretty good. "Shuai Shi said.
"This——"
"Shuai! ”
The top leaders of the other two major gangs were also anxious.
The gangs seemed to be numerous, but they were far from being compared with tens of thousands of troops, so with an order, the top leaders of the three major gangs They all have to come over, but I didn’t expect Marshal Shi to be so ruthless.
“Don’t worry, you two gangs. I’ll talk to the Gold and Silver Gang first. I believe they all love the army and the people. " Marshal Shi looked at the top brass of the Gold and Silver Gang, and the top brass of the other two gangs turned pale.
" Marshal, he wants to eat our three gangs. "The thin old man, the leader of the Gold and Silver Gang, said.
"Isn't it natural for the big fish to eat the small fish? Marshal Shi looked at the old man.
“I can’t get out five million taels.” "The thin old man shook his head and saidThe man Bian Xiongzhuang also said: "If you give the entire Gold and Silver Gang to the commander, you can't even collect five million taels."
"Of course the gang can't take it out. After all, a lot of the gang's money is in your home." , just search your homes and you’ll have enough.” Marshal Shi smiled, “Either you become my enemies and I’ll kill you and send troops to search your homes, or you become my friends and take the initiative to take out five. One million taels."
If he really killed these high-level officials, the gang would be in chaos, and the gang members would run away with the money, it would be really hard for him to find that much.
Forcing these senior executives to do it on their own will only help them get more.
"These mud-legged people."
Other people in the hall looked at this scene with cold eyes. There is a big difference between gangs and big families, big chambers of commerce, and exorcism sects. Gangs are Rising from the bottom, it became so huge in troubled times.
I didn’t see that although Dashuai Shi was ruthless in persecuting other forces, he was extremely deadly to the three major gangs.
"Does the Gold and Silver Gang want to be my enemy?" Marshal Shi looked at the six senior members of the Gold and Silver Gang, and suddenly a soldier pointed a gun at them.
Fang Dalong was also very aggrieved at the moment.
When the rebels are weak, they have to make friends with local forces, which was the case in their hometown.
But after the imperial court was completely destroyed, the rebels became more fierce. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Fang Dalong sold all his fields early, moved his family to Binhai City, defected to his old friends, and joined the Gold and Silver Gang.
Who would have thought that the Gold and Silver Gang would also be forced.
"In troubled times, big fish eat small fish, and the Gold and Silver Gang are also small fish." Fang Dalong understood this.
"Huh?" Fang Dalong suddenly felt something. He turned around and saw a young man with a broken arm walking beside him.
"Qi'er?" Fang Dalong was surprised, why is his son here?
Although Meng Chuan has excellent exorcism methods, he is still ordinary after all. If the distance is far and a bullet is fired at his father, he will not have time to intercept it, so he stands by his side! He is here... No matter how many troops there are, they can't threaten Fang Dalong.
"You hurry up and leave." Fang Dalong urged in a low voice. He was pointing a gun at the top of the Gold and Silver Gang and did not deal with his son. If his son ran out, wouldn't he put himself in a desperate situation?
"It's okay."
Meng Chuan comforted him, looked up at Marshal Shi, and said, "Marshal Shi, I'm very confused. The capital is in the north. The imperial court Most of the army gathered in the north. You want to overthrow the imperial court. Why did the army keep running south and reach Binhai City?"
The hall was quiet, and everyone was surprised that this young man with a broken arm was so brave, even with gold and silver? Several other high-level officials were extremely surprised.
"Who are you?" Marshal Shi on the stage said indifferently. The old man in gray robe, Master Feng, made a seal with one hand on his sleeve, looking at Meng Chuan with purple eyes, his face changed slightly.
