The Water Ghost came over and looked at the place where Dong Yu had just disappeared. He spoke with a rare hint of regret, "Is this the so-called salvation of the dead? Wei Laoda, do you think there really is an underworld and reincarnation in this world?"

Wei Yuan replied, "Maybe, I don't know."

The Water Ghost nodded solemnly and said, "Yeah, after all, you've never died before."

Wei Yuan joked, "Since you're so interested, why don't you try it? Maybe you can go to the underworld and see what it's like."

"When you come back, tell us what it's like down there."

The Water Ghost thought about it seriously, then looked up and asked, "Is there Coca-Cola down there?"

Wei Yuan couldn't help but laugh. His mood improved inexplicably. He stood up and said, "I don't know, there may or may not be. Alright, let's put away the ritual food on the table. I'll make you a new batch. What do you want to eat?"

The group of ghosts and spirits were overjoyed. The Water Ghost held down the soul of the Qi family's soldier and raised his hand, saying, "I want instant noodles with two eggs and a sausage!"

Wei Yuan was stunned, but he laughed and agreed.

While he was preparing the ritual food, Red Embroidered Shoes jumped out again, opened her computer, logged in to an account, and opened a live broadcast room. It was Zhang Yue's food channel. A group of dead ghosts stared at the screen as Zhang Yue devoured food like a starving ghost, quickly devouring the big fish and meat.

These ghosts were drooling as they watched.

Wei Yuan took a glance and paused for a moment.

Zhang Yue definitely had a problem.

But it didn't seem to be related to demons or ghosts.

When he had some free time, he would go check it out...

...

Half a month passed quickly.

Wei Yuan held a book and sat quietly in a rattan chair, breathing calmly.

After the handling of Dong Yu's incident, Wei Yuan gained some merit. Most of his skills came from the basic divine arts that he had to master as a hidden tiger, combining the Longhu swordsmanship and battle formation techniques. The talismans were provided by the current Celestial Master's Palace, which were enough to deal with ordinary demons and ghosts, but he still lacked a fundamental heart technique.

This time, while searching through the Great Han Treasure House, he found a technique belonging to the Chief Inspector of the Imperial Secretariat.

The first part of this technique was originally open to the Chief Inspector's subordinates and did not require merit. However, the previous Chief Inspectors did not expect that future generations would not practice this technique, so they did not prepare any incantations. The technique in the Great Han Treasure House had to be exchanged for merit, and it also included a part of the understanding of the technique, which was prepared to break through bottlenecks.

Wei Yuan had to waste some of it.

He exchanged his merit from Dong Yu's incident for this Hidden Tiger technique.

The era in which it was created was during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Great Han Dynasty, when the world was unified, and the influence of Huang-Lao philosophy had not yet ended. The Confucianism that abolished the Hundred Schools of Thought and honored only Confucianism did not have the sourness of later generations. The witchcraft and gu techniques were popular among the people, and the Hidden Tiger technique was a combination of the strengths of various schools of thought.

A thousand years later, the Chief Inspector of the Imperial Secretariat slayed demons and eliminated evil, verifying and repairing what he learned.

There were also manuscripts from the ancestors of various sects.The cultivation technique became more and more refined, but it still leaned towards the path of hunting demons and monsters.

Wei Yuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling that his meager cultivation had not changed at all, but he didn't mind. Cultivation was accumulated through daily hard work, and it couldn't be seen in just one or two days. Over time, it would be different. At least, this half month was not in vain.

However, he still couldn't see anything unusual about that chapter.

Even with the talismans from the Celestial Master's Palace, it was still the same... the person was neither a demon nor a ghost.

Could it be a monster?

But how could a person turn into a monster?

Clang, clang...

The bell on the door rang.

Someone was at the door.

Wei Yuan's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked up to see two familiar faces.

It was the two girls who came the other day.

Tao Siwen and her best friend.

"Master, we're bothering you again."

"Thank you for last time. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do..."

Tao Siwen expressed her gratitude in the museum.

Wu Antong looked at Wei Yuan with a strange expression. She didn't know why she had looked down on this museum owner before. She thought he was just using words to deceive her friend. But now, her friend had changed her mind and came to thank him in person. Was she under a spell?

Wei Yuan asked, "Did the talisman work?"

Tao Siwen nodded heavily.

When she returned home that day, she found that the talisman in her pocket had turned into ashes. In retrospect, she realized that she had noticed something was wrong and was able to control herself at the beginning, not instinctively turning around. It should be the effect of the talisman.

After that, the ghost had to use Wu Antong's voice to trick her into turning around.

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "That's good."

Tao Siwen felt a little embarrassed and asked, "Um... Master, can you give me two more talismans? I'll pay for them."

Wei Yuan looked at her and saw that she was no longer in a state of being plagued by evil spirits. As long as she wasn't afraid, the three lamps on her body would keep the ordinary ghosts away. He took out two talismans that were not very effective and handed them over, saying, "Here you go. But I don't have many of these talismans, and they're not as effective as last time."

Tao Siwen was a little disappointed.

Wu Antong felt that the museum owner had fooled her friend with words. She thought he looked good the last time she saw him, but now she was unhappy with him because of her friend.

Wei Yuan closed the book in his hand and looked out the window. Several military green trucks drove by on the street, with soldiers in camouflage sitting in the back, their expressions cold and calm. Wei Yuan thought of what Zhou Yi had said before, and his expression was slightly surprised.

Is it time to prepare?

Wu Antong followed his gaze and said, "They're soldiers from the Divine Mechanic Corps."

China had become more prosperous, but the military unit numbers still bore the stamp of the previous era.

She remembered the news she had seen this morning and explained casually, "They're probably here for training.""It seems that our Jiangnan Military Region is going to conduct a military exercise in the mountains around Quan City. Almost two battalions of Shenji Battalion soldiers have been transferred here, and it seems that a lot of powerful weapons have been brought in as well, including fighter jets. It's probably going to be a live-fire drill."

Two battalions, almost a thousand people?

And powerful weapons.

Are they going to plow through the Crouching Tiger Mountain with gunpowder?

Wei Yuan vaguely guessed what Zhou Yi meant when she contacted him a few days ago to prepare.

Tao Siwen asked, "Is Master Wei also interested in military exercises?"

Wei Yuan looked back and smiled, "After all, I am a man."

Tao Siwen nodded, then said with some regret:

"Unfortunately, the military exercise is confidential, and the exercise area is now under alert. We can only see the news, and even if there are pictures, they only last for a few seconds."

Wu Antong saw that they were going to continue chatting and pulled Tao Siwen's sleeve, "Siwen, we have expressed our gratitude and got the talisman, let's go. I know a newly opened restaurant, let's have lunch there, okay?"

Tao Siwen was still somewhat reluctant to leave.

Wei Yuan saw a military vehicle leaving the street and driving towards his museum. The heavy and solid vehicle stopped steadily outside. Two soldiers in special combat uniforms got out of the car, walked into the open museum with big strides, carrying guns on their backs, and wrapped in a cold aura.

The two guests in the shop were stunned.

The two soldiers walked up to Wei Yuan, whom they had already seen in the photos, and stood straight.

However, there was still a hint of doubt in their eyes.

With crisp and powerful footsteps, Zhou Yi, wearing a combat uniform and with short, sharp hair, got out of another car and strode in. She was surprised to see two guests in this usually quiet museum and showed a gentle smile to the two girls. Then, she put a gun on the table, pushed it towards Wei Yuan, and said:

"It happened suddenly."

Search bit.ly/3iBfjkV for the original.

"Also, this is your gun."

Guns are at least effective in hindering and interrupting at long distances.

Wei Yuan was mentally prepared when he saw the army and didn't say much. He nodded, put down the talisman book in his hand, got up to take his sword, dressed in black, tightened his wrist with a wrist guard for convenience, carried the long sword on his back, and inserted the broken sword diagonally at his waist. Then, he put away the gun. The special action team's belt had a concealed holster, in addition to the positions for talismans and pills.

Silence filled the air.

Only the low hum of the sword in its scabbard and the slight click of the gun being holstered could be heard.

The original museum had an added atmosphere of solemnity.

Wei Yuan looked at his rare guests, thought for a moment, and had to say:

"Sorry, we're closing early today."
