Chapter 7 Expert
"What's the problem?" Liu Shiyou came over to take a look.

Xu Shanshan observed it for a while and said, "This is called the Ebony Ghost Bead, also known as the Dark Wood. It is supposed to be an object to ward off evil spirits, but it was soaked in the blood of a poisonous creature for a year and used as the finishing touch to the creation of a life-seeking array..."

She tapped the ebony ghost bead with her fingertips, and a black gas suddenly came out of it, and the eerie chill instantly dissipated.

It was so thick that even their mortal eyes could vaguely see it. It seemed that there were countless pairs of evil eyes peering at them in the darkness.

hiss!
Damn, this is really an ominous thing, and it looks like it has great lethality.

Father Liu hugged Mother Liu, and they kept each other warm: "Master, what kind of life-demanding formation is this? Can you solve it?"

Even the master was called upon, it seemed that his parents were completely convinced. Liu Shiyou felt amused and helpless, and at the same time felt sad that their Liu family had encountered such a disaster.

What kind of life-claiming array?

To be honest, she really couldn't name it, because to her... it was too low-level, and she had never solved such a simple life-taking array.

Xu Shanshan didn't say anything. She stood in the strongest sunlight at noon, picked up a piece of talisman paper with her fingers, and threw it in the air. The talisman paper ignited without any fire...

Their eyes almost popped out, waiting for the next step, but they saw Xu Shanshan seemed to be thinking about something and did not take the next step.

“What’s wrong? Is it hard to destroy?” they panic.

"That's not the case. It just suddenly occurred to me that it might have other uses."

Liu Shiyou was confused: "For example?"

"Treat others in their own way."

Father Liu, the old scoundrel, understood it instantly.

Yes, if this ghost thing stays in their Liu family, it will harm their Liu family, so he will secretly throw it back to the Xie family and let them suffer the consequences.

Mr. Liu's temperament when he was young is exactly the same as Liu Shiyou's current character. He will never let a grudge go. The Xie family has been so vicious in harming their Liu family, and he will not let it go.

Father Liu's eyes became fierce and his heart darkened.

He took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped the ebony ghost beads returned by Xu Shanshan, fearing that they would be contaminated in the slightest.

Xu Shanshan suddenly said: "It's not contagious."

Father Liu was stunned: "Then why did you wrap it just now?"

"dirty."

Mr. Liu: "..."

In addition, Boss Liu, who had been silent all the time, now looked pale, and the sweat on his head had already soaked his collar.

After this incident, even if he didn't believe all of Xu Shanshan's abilities, he believed half of them.

When he thought of what she had said to him before, his hands and feet went numb, his chest felt suffocated, and even his breathing was in a panic.

Please don’t, please God, please don’t let the words of the liar Xu Shanshan come true…

But the more you fear something, the more likely it will come.

"Young Master..."

When Boss Liu saw his confidant running over in a hurry, he didn't care that Master Liu and the others were there, and started reporting immediately because the situation was urgent.

"Master, someone died in our casino!"

Brother Liu took a breath of cold air.

"That person's identity is not to be underestimated. The government has already closed our casino and taken away everyone inside. I think they will come to Liu Mansion to summon you soon!"

Boss Liu's eyes were empty, and his heart was finally hanging in the air.

-

Well, except for Liu Shiyou, basically everyone in the Liu family was caught up in all kinds of misfortunes and troubles. But when Liu Shiyou thought of the future of the Liu family that she predicted, he suddenly became very panicked.

"Xu Shanshan, no, Master Xu, if we lose the ebony ghost bead, will the life-demanding formation you mentioned just now collapse on its own?"

Liu Shiyou's attitude now has changed 180 degrees, and he is extremely respectful.

Xu Shanshan looked surprised: "Why do you think so? In fact, Master Changqing, who was invited by your Liu Mansion, dug out the seven obscure objects, which led to the rapid completion of the evil formation. I originally estimated that the three-month effect will only last for one month."

The Liu family, young and old, looked as pale as death.

Mother Liu's body went limp, and she cried into Father Liu's arms: "Wuwu... Is there no hope for our Liu family?"

As if realizing that his words had scared others, Xu Shanshan said in time: "No, it is actually not difficult to break the formation, as long as..." "As long as?" Four pairs of eyes looked over at the same time.

"As long as we capture the masterminds and bury them in your Liu family, this formation will be broken."

quiet!
The eyes of the entire Liu family widened: "..."

They had also heard of various methods of dealing with strange events, such as using magical instruments to protect the house, exorcise evil spirits and welcome gods, and change feng shui, but such an evil and cruel method of solving the problem was unheard of!

Is this something a normal person can come up with?
Suddenly, I felt a chill on my back due to a cold wind blowing from my chest.

Master Liu suddenly realized that this was her way of treating others in their own way.

It’s a tit-for-tat. If you let me destroy your family, I will destroy you too.

You can't tell, this little Taoist priest looks like he is indifferent to worldly affairs and harmless to people and animals, but in fact he is a living devil.

-

"Originally, we found some clues and speculated that the people behind the Yin Liu family might be the Tang family, but just now the master said that the things sent by the Xie family were not right. Now I am not sure... which party is the mastermind."

I heard Father Liu start to analyze the mastermind. Doesn't this mean he agrees with Xu Shanshan's method of breaking the formation? !

The Liu brothers looked over with a look that said “it turns out my dad is also a ruthless person”.

"Is it possible that both parties want your Liu family to perish?"

Xu Shanshan's light words were like an earthquake, making the Liu family dizzy and at a loss.

Is the Liu family so hated? If the two families really joined forces...the Liu family would have no chance of survival.

Father Liu straightened his spine, his eyes firm and sharp: "No, I will go to the Tang family tomorrow to test it out and see if it was done by the Tang family!"

Liu Shiyou disagreed: "Dad, it's too dangerous, why don't you let me..."

"Don't worry, the Liu family has not been completely defeated. They will not attack your father at this time. Don't forget that your eldest brother's matter has not been dealt with yet. You have to stay at home to help him."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade his father, Liu Shiyou looked at Xu Shanshan again and asked, "Master Xu, can you accompany my father for a while? I'll feel more at ease with you around."

Xu Shanshan nodded: "Okay, I was going to go to Tang's house anyway."

-

How rich is the Tang family?
The city of Jiangling could not accommodate the "mansion" of the Tang family, so the Tang family moved their residence outside the city and built another city called Shangqiu, which is also known as the treasure of Kyushu.

Shangqiu is more like a condensed small country than a city. After walking for more than ten miles, they had to take a raft to travel along the winding river.

There are steep cliffs on both sides and villages built side by side. They rise and fall in the green, orange and bright colors of the mountains. At the other end, a cold waterfall rolls down and finally merges into the emerald green river.

This is Xu Shanshan’s first time to set foot in Shangqiu.

There was a strange and dark look in her eyes.

She had always heard others mention it in the past, but unfortunately she had never had the chance to see it with her own eyes, let alone set foot in the territory under the jurisdiction of King Chen.

After crossing the towering ridge, you will reach Wangxian Valley. The terrain is naturally steep and dangerous, and a beautiful and magnificent town stands behind the valley.

The towering city walls and the solid and heavy city gates are like huge crouching beasts, guarding the peace and harmony of the city.

"The Tang family is really rich."

Master Liu was feeling sour all the way.

Although he is the second oldest in the Liu family in Jiangling City, there is a huge gap between him and the Rentang family.

-

The Tang family is a large family, consisting of the family head, wives and concubines, descendants and clansmen, with a clear hierarchy and clear order of respect and inferiority.

The three people in the Tang family who are responsible for managing family affairs and making decisions are Tang Gengfu, Tang Gengnong and Tang Genghai, and the Tang family respectfully calls them the Three Lords.

The city guard went to report and presented a visiting card: "Mr. Fu, the head of the Liu family is here and wants to see you."

Tang Gengfu took it and read it: "Liu Bocun, why did he come here suddenly?"

"He also brought a Taoist nun with him."

"Taoist nun?" Tang Gengfu smiled disapprovingly: "It seems that he has guessed something. Come if you want. I don't think his Liu family can hire any capable masters."
