  "Let's talk about it when we get there!"

  Although this fat man is timid, he is also very curious, especially about these mysterious things. Otherwise, he would not have been so fascinated by the inverted fight back then. He was initially unwilling, but after getting on the carriage, his curiosity arose: "Taoist, did you invite a master to deal with that thing?"

  "It's far away in the sky, yet right before our eyes!" Wen Fei said casually.

  "Who are you?" Zhang Yu was suddenly shocked and stopped the car: "Bring it on, I still don't know your background. You've practiced Taoist magic for so many years, but you can't even compare to a three-legged cat, at most you're just a one-legged old mouse..."

  "After three days, one should look at each other with new eyes." Wen Fei said lazily: "Don't use that old eye light that has been pinched by the door seam to look at me!"

  "Get lost!" Zhang Yu cursed, then curiously asked: "Did you really meet a master and learn some real skills?"

  "Indeed!" Wen Fei nodded: "Still not stupid at home!"

  Wen Fei said this with such certainty, Zhang Yu was half-believing and half-doubting. The car continued to move forward, but Wen Fei himself also had no bottom line...

  The two arrived in the old town, and it was indeed already late afternoon, with neon lights just starting to come on. However, in this old town, I don't know if it's because of the old houses or the fact that there are too few people living here now, but somehow the sky seems darker than elsewhere. There aren't even any neon lights, making it look shabby and desolate.

  "This kind of place opens a private restaurant, it's simply asking to lose money!" Wen Fei finally understood that he must have been deceived by Zhang Yu. In such a place, who would come to eat at night? It's scary to death.

  The car stopped by the side of the road, occupying half of the entire street. It's not that Zhang Yu's car is being bossy, it's just that the road surface is too narrow.

  "Really going in?" Zhang Yu swallowed his saliva, and his voice was filled with fear, but also a hint of excitement.

  "Go ahead!" Wen Fei gripped the key tightly and said. Huang Sheng directly threw the keys at him today, but for the property certificate and other things, it's estimated that they still need to go through some formalities.

  Although Zhang Yu said that this courtyard was the guild hall of Shanxi merchants in the past, Wen Fei really couldn't see it. The courtyard wall was mottled and in disrepair. Even the large gate was made of iron plate with a layer of red rust-proof paint on top, but over time, some of it had fallen off.

  The big iron gate was locked with a large iron lock and had begun to rust. Probably except for the last time Zhang Yu came, no one else had come.

  The sound of the gate opening was extremely loud and startling. There were pedestrians passing by on the road, curiously glancing over here before hurrying past.

  "Let's go in..." Zhang Yu swallowed his saliva and followed Wen Fei into the old house, feeling as if the temperature had dropped by two degrees after entering.

  Zhang Yu's arm suddenly broke out in a dense layer of goosebumps, and he rubbed his arm vigorously with both hands. Wen Fei also felt a bit guilty, but in front of Zhang Yu, he naturally had to put on a brave face.

  To be honest, although Wen Fei sounded confident in front of Zhang Yu, his heart was actually racing with anxiety. Although he had been practicing the earth's energy he had absorbed and was confident that he could unleash two or three palm thunderclaps at any time, but after all, he didn't have a plan, so he called Zhang Yu over to boost his courage.

  "What if the thing inside bursts out and possesses me?!" Wen Fei suddenly realized something was off. He had called Zhang Yu over to boost his courage, but what if that thing possessed Zhang Yu's body at that moment? It was said that when someone was possessed, they would become incredibly strong and fearless of pain. Wouldn't that make it impossible for him to defeat Zhang Yu? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?!

  Wen Fei was just about to let Zhang Yu leave when he heard the creaking of the door. Zhang Yu was startled and turned his head, but saw that the big gate was still intact and hadn't been closed, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  "Don't look anymore, it's not the main gate!" Wen Fei said irritably: "This is just a wooden door creaking, the main gate is made of iron!"

  Zhang Yu's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, but he didn't know that Wen Fei had also looked back and only reacted afterwards.

  The two suddenly realized that there was a problem - it wasn't the gate creaking, where did the sound come from? There were only the two of them in this old house!

  "It's coming out!" Wen Fei judged immediately and started operating.

  "Or else, I'll just go out and wait... You see, I'm not much help anyway!" Zhang Yu swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice.

  Wen Fei nodded silently, not saying a word. Zhang Yu suddenly felt like he had been pardoned and was about to walk out. But then a sharp, glass-shattering sound suddenly rang out, making people's spines tingle. A brick fell from somewhere, seemingly about to hit Zhang Yu.

  As mentioned earlier, this old house was originally dilapidated and after the founding of the country, when the landlord's property was divided, a large mansion was allocated to more than a dozen households for residence. As a result, there were many makeshift structures inside, almost completely obscuring the original layout of the old mansion. Upon entering, it felt particularly cramped and gloomy; if a brick fell, others would only think it was an accident.

  But after what happened last time, neither of them would be so naive. "Watch out!" Wen Fei pulled Zhang Yu away just in time, and the brick fell to the ground with a loud crash, sending shards flying everywhere.

  One after another, bricks came flying over. Even the most foolish person knew something was wrong, and the two of them fled in a flurry, trying to escape through the door, but it slammed shut with a bang.

  Wen flew a tile on his shoulder, and was also hit by a brick on his back. Fortunately, they all avoided the vital parts and were not injured. Zhang Yu was less fortunate, hitting his head heavily, bleeding from the wound, but this way is better, at least there will be no internal injury.

  Wen Fei's anger ignited, and he directed a palm-thunder strike towards the direction of the incoming brick.

  This palm thunder is the simplest entry-level spell of Taoist thunder method, which is to launch the "qi" collected and existing in the body like a rocket shell. It can be launched several times or all at once. If it's launched all at once, its power will naturally increase a lot.

  Wen Fei's hand this time was filled with anger, and with one move, he released all the earth energy stored within his body. If someone with opened eyes could see it, Wen Fei naturally couldn't, but he also felt that after releasing a palm thunder, his body seemed to be hollowed out. He felt that the energy had rushed out all at once.

  A dull thud like the sound of a drumhead bursting in the air, followed by a series of chirping sounds...
