"What's going on?" Shopkeeper Zhu asked in a deep voice.

Seeing that the situation was so bad, shopkeeper Zhu couldn't control his anger and didn't want to.

This is also the center of the Pegasus gathering. Gao Xian has only been here for more than two months, and he doesn’t even know a few people. Who would come to his house in the middle of the night and set fire to it!

Even if he really had a grudge, it would be better to kill Gao Xian directly.

Shopkeeper Zhu felt that this must have been done by Gao Xian himself. Maybe the refining of the elixir failed and a lot of medicinal materials were damaged. He felt that he could not handle the matter.

Or maybe this kid took out the refined elixir and sold it secretly, and then set fire to destroy the evidence? !

Gao Xian lowered his eyes slightly to avoid looking at Shopkeeper Zhu. His many years of working in 996 gave him rich experience in dealing with angry bosses.

Avoid eye contact and show a humble attitude, which can effectively avoid intensifying conflicts.

"Someone came and threw a fire bomb, which almost scared me to death."

Gao Xian's face was innocent but a little frightened, and his expression was very spot on.

The blazing fire illuminated the yard brightly. Shopkeeper Zhu could clearly see the subtle expressions on Gao Xian's face, but he didn't see any problems.

This also made Shopkeeper Zhu somewhat doubtful of his own judgment. Could it be that he had wronged this boy?

After all, Gao Xian was only in his early twenties and had been studying alchemy all his life. He had little life experience and would not act so naturally if there was a problem.

The elixirs provided by Gao Xian are of very good quality and have been praised by many people. It can be seen that Gao Xian is quite talented in alchemy.

You really can't be too rough with such a talent.

Shopkeeper Zhu was a little unsure, and he took a closer look at Gao Xian with Lieyan.

The flames were strong but unstable, swaying and jumping, and Gao Xian's face was illuminated and flickered.

Gao Xian is calm, he is destroying evidence, but he will compensate for the damage. Nothing to be afraid of.

He said loudly: "Brother Zhu, no matter who did it, I will pay for these losses."

Shopkeeper Zhu shook his head with a strange expression, "No, no..."

Gao Xian was slightly shocked. Why did Shopkeeper Zhu see something was wrong?

He knew that he would make mistakes if he spoke too much. He didn't dare to explain randomly if he didn't understand what shopkeeper Zhu meant.

He looked at Shopkeeper Zhu blankly.

Shopkeeper Zhu blessed himself with the Qi Observation Technique, and his little eyes sparkled with light. When he looked at Gao Xian, he could tell something was wrong.

He took two steps back. He suddenly became a little nervous, "Xiao Gao, have you encountered anything unusual recently?"

Gao Xian was a little confused. Shopkeeper Zhu was a little scared?

He thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing unusual. It's just that I seemed to see a black shadow flashing past last night. Maybe it was this guy who set the fire!"

Shopkeeper Zhu’s expression became even more solemn, “Xiao Gao, I see your hall is turning black, I’m afraid it’s because you’ve encountered an evil spirit and been contaminated by evil spirits. It’s very bad!”

"ah?!"

Gao Xian was shocked and suspicious. Did Shopkeeper Zhu really see something, or was he trying to scare him?

He hurriedly asked: "What should we do?"

"There are specialties in the art. You go to Zhou Ye, the owner of Lingfu Hall. This Shaoyang Talisman is very powerful and is good at getting rid of evil spirits."

Shopkeeper Zhu emphasized: "If evil spirits enter the body, if not handled properly, it will corrode the body and mind and attract evil spirits. At that time, your life will be hard to protect. This is no joke."

Hearing what Shopkeeper Zhu said was so serious, Gao Xian was a little scared. He couldn't help but think of that fleeting black shadow. Could it be that he was really evil?

Gao Xian said with some embarrassment: "What about the house?"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he wanted to show off his pity. Maybe if Shopkeeper Zhu softened his heart, he could spend less time with her.

When talking about the house, Shopkeeper Zhu looked more serious: "There are still five hundred Bailu Pills left, which can be converted into fifty spiritual stones. I won't forget the other medicinal materials with you.

"For these fifty spiritual stones, four yuan will be deducted from your monthly payment, and it will be paid off in one and a half years."

Gao Xian was speechless. His monthly salary of five spiritual stones was deducted by four yuan, and he stopped eating and drinking...

Shopkeeper Zhu is really a qualified capitalist. Favors belong to favors and money belongs to money. The two will never be mixed together.

That’s not right, why do you have to pay back a year and a half!

"Brother Zhu, did you make a miscalculation?"

Shopkeeper Zhu looked embarrassed, "The medicinal materials business has a big profit but a small profit, and you earn hard-earned money. Even my spiritual stones are not enough for turnover. I paid fifty spiritual stones from you. The installments are so long, of course the interest must be calculated..."

This reason is so good that even Gao Xian wants to give shopkeeper Zhu a thumbs up. He deserves to be the boss and deserves to make money!

"It's my fault for not thinking carefully." Gao Xian didn't argue and just took out more spiritual stones.

He secretly sold shopkeeper Zhu's elixir, and it was kind enough not to ask him to pay ten times the compensation. He had no right to be unhappy.

"Brother, you are sensible."

Shopkeeper Zhu was very satisfied with Gao Xian's well-behaved attitude. He thought for a moment and then said: "The house needs to be renovated. You need to find a place to live for a few days."

"You tonight,"

Shopkeeper Zhu originally wanted to take Gao Xian back to the pharmacy, but then he thought, this kid has evil spirits in him, so he can't take him back.

"Hurry up and find Zhou Ye and get rid of the evil spirit."

After speaking, shopkeeper Zhu waved his hands repeatedly, signaling Gao Xian to leave quickly.

Gao Xian didn't dare to neglect him. Although shopkeeper Zhu was greedy for money, he was quite reliable in his work. Since the other party disliked him so much, it was obvious that evil was not a trivial matter.

He packed his belongings into packages, carried them and left.

Fortunately, the moon was very bright in the sky, which gave Gao Xian a sense of security.

According to the place mentioned by Shopkeeper Zhu, Gao Xian found the Lingfu Hall on the edge of the street in the center of Pegasus Ji.

Ling Fu Tang, as the name suggests, sells magic charms.

The shop is not big, and there is a dark red lantern hanging at the door. If you look carefully, the lantern is actually covered with runes.

Gao Xian didn't do much research on the talisman. He looked at it twice and didn't recognize what the talisman represented. It was probably to ward off evil spirits and ward off impurities.

He secretly sighed: "He is indeed a talisman seller, and he is very wealthy!"

The door of Lingfu Hall was closed tightly, and Gao Xian could only call the door with all his strength.

After a while, an old and dry voice came from inside the door: "It's closed. Come back tomorrow if you have anything to do."

Gao Xian said hurriedly: "I have something urgent to ask Mr. Zhou,"

He was afraid that the other party would reject him, so he added: "Junior Gao Xian, a disciple of Lianyun Sect Xu Mingyuan, shopkeeper Zhu of the medicine shop asked me to come over. Please do it for your convenience."

This Pegasus Market was opened by the Lianyun Sect, and all the big deals in the market such as magic weapons, elixirs, and talismans were in the hands of the Lianyun Sect.

Zhou Ye is naturally a member of the Lianyun Sect.

Lianyun Sect is very big, but Xu Mingyuan is still somewhat famous as a master of alchemy in Lianyun Sect.

Shopkeeper Zhu of the drug store is also a big shot in Pegasus Ji.

Gao Xian carried these two people out, thinking that Zhou Ye should give them some face. He had actually met Zhou Ye, but he didn't know if he remembered him.

Sure enough, there was movement inside the door, and soon the door opened.

An old man in green clothes came out. He raised a lantern and shone it in Gao Xian's face very politely. "It's you. What do you want to do so late?"

The old man in Tsing Yi knew Gao Xian, and he was about to give him a lesson, but before he finished speaking, he saw something was wrong: "The Yintang is dark and full of evil spirits. You are so unlucky!"

Gao Xian was doubtful at first, but now that the old man in Qingyi said so, he really panicked.

"Mr. Zhou, am I serious? Can there be help?!"

The old man in green looked Gao Xian up and down, and said slowly: "Whether you can be saved or not depends on how many spirit stones you have..."

Although he had met Gao Xian and had a little friendship with Xu Mingyuan, it was impossible for him to do it in vain.

Gao Xian wanted to sigh, these cultivators are more fussy than small traders! It's just that his life is at stake, and he can't tolerate his temper.

"It's easy to talk about spiritual stones."

Gao Xian said respectfully: "Please save me first, Mr. Zhou."

"good."

The old man in green stretched out his hand: "Ten spiritual stones."

Gao Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Together with the more than ten spiritual stones given by Lao Wang, he had fifteen spiritual stones, which he could afford!

Zhou Ye collected ten spirit stones and his face looked better, "Come in."

There is a main hall upon entering, and two oil lamps illuminate the room very brightly.

There is a screen with landscape paintings in the middle, and a square table in front of it with some tea sets on it, which seems to be used for entertaining guests.

There are several long tables placed on the walls on both sides, with some talismans, Taoist books and other items placed on them.

Gao Xian was looking around the room when a woman in blue came out from behind the screen, "Dad, who is it so late?"

The woman in blue is only in her early twenties, with curved eyebrows and charming eyes.

Her hair was tied up in a high bun, with a golden phoenix hairpin inserted at an angle. The ruby ​​pendant on the hairpin swayed gently with her steps, shining beautifully under the light, which further highlighted her skin as white as snow.

The azure blue robe seemed to be rippling back and forth with water, which gave the woman a bit more aura of transcendence.

Gao Xian was slightly surprised. The woman was actually wearing a robe. Only then could her whole body shine with aura. She was really a rich woman!

The woman in blue didn't expect there was an outsider in the room. She couldn't help but be startled when she saw Gao Xian. She blinked and looked at Gao Xian carefully, with a look of surprise on her face.

Zhou Ye turned his back to the woman and could not see her expression. He replied casually: "Xu Mingyuan's apprentice is infected with evil spirits. Let me show him."

He turned around and said: "Ling'er, please go back first. Don't stay here. Don't be infected with evil spirits. It will be bad for your health."

"Dad, I'll go back first."

The woman in blue took a deep look at Gao Xian when she left, her eyes were a bit happy and a bit eager.

Gao Xian felt a little itchy in his heart. What did this look mean? Could it be that this woman also had an affair with him? !
