didn't know what to ask.The old man lived next to a temple in an old, crowded dormitory building. He told us that his daughter hadn't been returning home at night lately. At thirty years old, she was...Outside the tent stood a girl dressed in studded punk attire, with fiery red short hair. A quintessential bad girl look.

"How come you're everywhere, you hedgehog! " My brother said impatiently.

Xi Lingzhou angrily retorted, "You're the one who's a hedgehog spirit! This is our territory, it's strange for me to be here! It's you two, quickly return my substitute puppet and fox head!"

"You're kidding, right That fox head was ours! You're all talk and no action, you got hurt and fainted, it was my sister who took you to the hospital. Not only are you ungrateful, but you're asking us for things Have some shame" My brother said proudly.

She said angrily, "If I hadn't caught that fox spirit and put her in the stand-in puppet, you wouldn't have been able to get the fox head and bones so easily!"

"Hey, you were given a chance to shine, but look at yourself! You got caught and your neck was slashed. You managed to stick it out till the end, I'll give you that. Now you want to come off the battlefield and share the spoils There are rules about this kind of thing! You only take advantage of kind people like Xiao Qiao. After taking something from my hands, you still want to split it up Just because!"

My brother never gives someone face when he finds them disagreeable.

He's not afraid to argue or fight, and his moral standards vary depending on the person. He's good to the good, and bad to the bad.

In short, there's no losing either way.

Xi Lingzhou had interacted with us so many times, she already knew how capable my brother was. She stomped up to me angrily: “Mu Xiaqiao, you promised me!”

"What's the matter, what's the matter Bullying my little Qiao, are you" My brother stood in front of me and pushed her away directly.

"Brother, forget it..." I quietly tugged at my brother's sleeve.

I'm actually quite envious of my brother's personality. He can get along with anyone, and he even manages to make them lose their temper.

Xi Lingzhou directly gave up confronting my brother head-on, and focused on me, saying: "That puppet stand-in, you can have it. But the fox head is important, my master urgently needs it!"

I was about to speak when my older brother immediately interjected, "Urgent Then what's with that attitude It's really funny... We're not in a hurry, are we It's not like we need it urgently!"

"You—"

"Let Old Mrs. Ma ask for it herself. If she's asking for favors, don't put on airs in front of us." My brother snorted coldly.

This tent is being used by Master Ma's apprentice. Inside should be Xi Linzhou's senior sister, she's guarding outside - not even allowing anyone in It seems like she isn't well-received among Master Ma's apprentices.

It's understandable that Old Mrs. Ma favors her because she has a special constitution.

The other disciples must surely envy her, and she's so unlikeable!

Therefore, she wanted to use this fox head to pay respects to her master, hoping to gain status and a voice within the sect.

“Xi Linzhou, you need to understand that although we are about the same age, our statuses are different, do you understand It’s fine to chat and argue casually, but if it’s serious business, please send someone with equal status, okay Qiao and I are in charge of both families, what are you, you can't even manage yourself, and you dare to boss us around, isn’t this courting death”

My brother "kindly" said to her.

Xi Linzhou angrily said, "Then what do you want What conditions are you willing to exchange"

My brother raised an eyebrow: "Haven't decided yet, I'll let you know when I have... Ah, I don't even know if you'd be useful to us. After all, we can handle a lot of things ourselves. You better step up your game!"

She was so angry she could spit fire. Didn't this mean she had to crawl and beg

"Gee, you're so mean... are you going to bully this little witch too" I whispered.

"Not bully her Not bully her, she wants to go to heaven! I didn't mess with her, that's already good..."

My brother lifted the military tent and went in. Sure enough, Zhao Jie was guarding the altar inside. I don't understand their folk magic rituals, but looking at that bowl of blood made me feel sick.

"Hey, Zhaojie, this big bowl of black dog blood isn't cheap, you went all out! You really are willing to spend money on this tiring and thankless task." My brother teased.

Zhao Jie managed a strained smile and immediately had the other disciples take her place kneeling before the altar. She walked over to my brother and said with a fawning smile, "Master Mu, Miss Mu, how have you two arrived... We were counting on you two to save us!"

Wow, Zhao Jie's eldest disciple is truly an old hand. Just by listening to her speak, you can tell she's a hundred times more sensible than Xi Lingzhou.

"We dare not interrupt your ways, we happened to know about this, seeing all of you so knowledgeable and righteous, we came to learn from all of you, and feel the atmosphere of the imperial capital circle."

My brother said it so sincerely, if I didn't know him, I would have believed him.

Dogs correspond to the Earth element of the 12 Terrestrial Branches, namely Wu Earth, which is yang earth. Moreover, black dogs possess spiritual energy, so a pure black puppy without any mixed fur is a common symbol of yang spirit in folklore.

Of course not all black dogs are like this. People in the circle have their own special ways of raising things. There is a rule in the circle that it is strictly forbidden to kill dogs for blood, because blood with resentment will be ineffective.

Therefore, wizards who raise black dogs are usually very kind to them. They only take a small amount of blood using a syringe and accumulate it gradually. The black dog blood we see in the ghost market, even a small tube, is incredibly expensive.

Zhaojie was chatting with us politely when suddenly a rat scurried into the tent, acting as if possessed and running around crazily.

The mouse was gray and white, this mouse was old. It scurried in like it was having a seizure, even jumping forward and doing a somersault!

Such a large rat scurrying around, several female disciples screamed — where would women not be afraid of this

Zhao Jie suddenly cried out: "Bad! Quickly catch it! This thing has been struck by evil spirits! It dared to come in, looking for a talisman!"

The moment the words left his mouth, he saw the rat dash onto the altar!

It jumped up three feet, spinning around! It then slammed itself into the bowl of black dog blood —

To catch a mad rat is too difficult, none of us are as agile as it.

The gray rat crashed into the bowl, shattering the porcelain whole. It rolled around in a coating of black dog blood, sizzling and smoking on its fur.

This rat is too smart! It was racing through the tent, treading on blood, and finally squeezed out through a gap.

This military tent is covered in blood footprints, which is quite eerie.

"Zhao Jie roared, "Where are the guards outside! Xi Linzhou! Lao Jiu! Are you blind! How did you let a living creature in!"

She angrily flung open the tent flap, and outside, a ghostly, withered head hung before her...
