Dragon and Tiger Taoist

Yong'an Lane, the alley entrance is deep and desolate in the cold wind.

The door of the twelfth household was closed, guarded by two strong men, and outside the door there was a thin, middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a light blue brocade robe and a military cap. Take steps.

He was Liu Fang, the steward of the Precious Beast Pavilion. He didn't expect that such a simple transaction would have such flaws.

He didn't care about the death of the monkey charmer's family of five. He had seen this kind of thing too many times. He didn't care about the disappearance of a strange beast. The Rare Beast Pavilion auctioned several strange beasts every year. This happened to Zhang Chunyi, a cultivator of immortality.

The Precious Beast Pavilion is indeed the property of the Beast King Sect, but this is just a branch of the county, and doing business requires harmony and wealth, so it is best not to offend anyone, especially the immortal cultivators, not to mention that he also knows that Master Zhang is from Zhang family in Pingyang.

Click, click, crisp footsteps sounded, and two long shadows were drawn out under the light of the torch.

Seeing these two figures, Liu Fang hurriedly greeted them after recognizing Zhang Zhong.

"The villain Liu Fang, Tian is the steward of the Precious Beast Pavilion, and has met Master Zhang Xian."

When he came to Zhang Chunyi, Liu Fang bowed and saluted without hesitation even though Zhang Chunyi's face was immature. After all, Zhang Zhong was still one step behind the young man.

Hearing this, Zhang Chun took a look at Manager Liu and nodded.

"It's up to you, Manager Liu, this time."

Glancing at the guarded house from the corner of his eye, Zhang Chunyi spoke.

After discovering that the monkey charmer's family had been killed, Zhang Zhong specifically asked the people from the Precious Beast Pavilion to temporarily block the scene, considering Zhang Chunyi's reaction.

To this, the people from the Precious Beast Pavilion nodded and agreed, and judging from the current results, they did a good job.

Hearing this, Liu Fang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Chunyi's calm expression.

"Why talk about trouble? Liu is lucky to be able to serve Master Zhang Xian, not to mention that this matter itself is related to the Precious Beast Pavilion."

Understanding that Zhang Chunyi was not angry, Liu Fang relaxed a lot.

Hearing this, Zhang Chunyi was noncommittal and looked towards the small courtyard.

Understanding what Zhang Chunyi meant, Liu Fang quickly led the way.

"Master Zhang Xian, after the incident occurred, according to your request, I blocked the scene immediately to prevent the news from leaking out. However, the scene inside was a bit ugly, and I'm afraid it might stain your eyes."

Walking to the door, Liu Fang hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"It doesn't matter."

Understanding what Liu Fang was worried about, Zhang Chunyi gave a positive answer.

Hearing this, Liu Fang no longer hesitated. At his signal, the two big men pushed open the closed door.

When the door opened, a breeze blew in, and the pungent smell of blood hit his face.

Without changing his expression, Zhang Chunyi walked into the small courtyard.

The small courtyard was not big, and there were five corpses lying around, old and young, male and female. The soil was soaked with blood, turning black and red, exuding a pungent fishy smell.

One of them, an old man with gray hair and probably in his fifties, had the most terrifying death scene. His chest exploded completely, and his flesh and blood were a blur.

There is still a locked wooden cage in the corner of the courtyard, but it is now half-destroyed. The wooden pillars were violently destroyed, leaving only a wreckage.

Looking around the small courtyard, Zhang Chunyi was thoughtful.

At this time, Liu Fang, who was following carefully, spoke.

"Speaking of which, old man Ding is also pitiful. He has been playing monkey for most of his life. In recent years, he has become famous around Changhe County with his strange monkey. With this, he finally managed to provide a young son with some success, and he was established in the county. I didn’t expect to encounter such a misfortune when I was about to leave the mountain and enjoy peace and happiness.”

"I don't know who he offended."

As he spoke, there was a hint of sigh in Liu Fang's words. In his opinion, since it was not murder for money, then it should be a vendetta, otherwise Old Dingtou would not have died so tragically.

After all, it is not difficult to kill someone, not to this extent.

Hearing this, Zhang Chunyi walked slowly to the body of Old Man Ding without commenting.

Squatting down and ignoring the pungent smell of blood, Zhang Chunyi looked at it carefully.

"This kind of power is not something that ordinary martial artists can possess."

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Zhang Chunyi pulled out a hair dyed red with blood from a piece of blurred flesh.

"Monkey Feather, have you really turned into a demon?"

As thoughts swirled in his mind, Zhang Chunyi's eyes were filled with a hint of greenness.

But looking at it, Zhang Chunyi frowned.

After listening to Zhang Zhong's story, Zhang Chunyi wondered whether the ape suddenly turned into a demon and became ferocious and killed the entire monkey charmer's family.

After arriving at this small courtyard, the thoughts in Zhang Chunyi's heart faded a little. Although the scene in the courtyard was tragic, it was calmer compared to the tyranny of the monsters. Except for Old Man Ding, the other four people were His heart was broken and he died without much trauma. This kind of control is not something that a newly transformed monster can have.

What puzzled Zhang Chunyi the most was that he did see a ray of demonic energy on this monkey hair, but this strand of demonic aura was extremely weak and lifeless. It did not have the wantonness and publicity that normal demonic aura should have, giving people a sense of A sense of twilight.

"There is a demonic aura, but it doesn't look like a demonic aura spontaneously generated by a demon. It's more like a demonic aura that has been absorbed after being in contact with a demon for a long time."

"Something interesting."

As his thoughts turned, Zhang Chunyi became more and more interested in this strange beast that he had not yet seen.

Monsters have the largest number among monsters, but the bloodline of ordinary monsters may not necessarily be monsters. Only some monsters with strong bloodline can be passed down stably, and their children will be born as monsters, or they can naturally turn into monsters after growing up to a certain age. .

In the Taixuan Realm, there is a monster with a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, dark purple hair, and flesh marks like antlers between its eyebrows. It is ferocious in nature and is good at handling thunder. Because there was a giant monster in the clan who was called Thunder Lord. , so this family is called Thunder Ape.

Although the reputation of this clan is far less prominent than that of the real dragon, phoenix and other demon clans, it cannot be underestimated.

The reason why Zhang Chunyi was interested in this strange beast at the beginning was that he saw a vague look of thunder on its face, and guessed that it might have some thunder ape blood in its body, and it had the potential to transform into a monster, but now it seems that things are worse than he expected. Even more interesting.

He stood up, turned his demon-seeking eyes, and with a sweeping gaze, Zhang Chunyi found a few more monkey hairs stained with a light demonic aura. Other than that, he found no other traces of demonic aura.

It had not been long since the incident. If it was really a monster, unless you had the ability to cover it up deliberately, this would not be the only trace of the monster left behind.

Looking away, Zhang Chunyi made a decision in his heart.

"Manager Liu, I hope you can help me deal with the matter here."

Hearing this, Liu Fang was startled. He did not expect that Zhang Chunyi would make such a request.

When such a murder occurred, the government would naturally have to be notified according to normal procedures, but Zhang Chunyi's intention was to let him suppress the matter and handle it quietly without going through the government.

"Please rest assured, Immortal Master."

After thinking for a moment and gritting his teeth, Liu Fang agreed to Zhang Chunyi's request.

Since you have decided to show your good will to the other party, you should just go to the end. The matter has not exploded yet. With the power of the Precious Beast Pavilion, it can still be suppressed, but it will only cost five lives.

Hearing this answer, Zhang Chunyi nodded with satisfaction. He didn't want the matter to go through the government because he didn't want to bring changes. Now he is more and more interested in the strange beast.

Of course, since Liu Fang made such a decision, he would not hesitate to give the other party some benefits afterwards.
