Volume 2 Demon Ridge Jingyanggang Chapter 32 Participation
In the next few days, Wang Liang was in a state of watching the show. He didn't know that all kinds of chaos and incidents had happened in and outside Yanggu County during these days.
Some are blatant, while others are secretive and unknown.
The only thing Wang Liang witnessed was the great battle that took place on the Lion Tower yesterday evening.
That was the first time that Wang Liang saw the strength of a ghost cultivator. At the same time, he also understood that no matter what profession one is, as long as one occupies the advantageous location, one can turn the impossible into the possible.
He saw with his own eyes yesterday that the man named Ximen Qing, who had clearly borrowed the Feng Shui magic of the Lion Tower, was dragged into the sea of fire.
Under the flames, everyone nearby smelled a strong and strange medicinal aroma, which was as if countless medicinal herbs were used to cook a roasted pig.
The smell spread over a distance of more than ten miles, and the whole city was filled with this strange smell last night.
Wang Liang believed that for a long time, people in Yanggu County would not have any desire to eat barbecue.
However, he never expected that when Ximen Qing was burned to death, it was not that no one noticed the ghost cultivator's actions , but that no one paid any attention to the matter at that time.
The attack on the Demon Ridge Jingyanggang has reached the most critical stage. The aristocratic families and major forces in Yanggu County all hope to gain some benefits from this battle.
A guy like Ximen Qing, who came from a poor family, was not taken seriously at all.
When he was alive, there might have been a place reserved for him, but now that he is dead, there is nothing left.
If not everyone's attention was focused on Jingyang Ridge, perhaps Ximen Qing's family's wealth would have been divided up the next day, and the women of the Ximen family would not have had a chance to take the wealth and run away.
However, no matter how good these women were at making money, they could not take away the Ximen family's foundation, which was the pharmacy.
So during the day today, Wang Liang noticed that Ximen's pharmacy was in chaos. Two women holding children were arguing in the lobby, and the waiter and the clerk didn't know who to listen to.
Many bored people were watching outside the drugstore. They knew everything about the Ximen family, so they didn't want to care about the chaos in front of them at all.
Wang Liang mixed in the crowd and watched as the fortune of the Ximen family's pharmacy was undergoing some fundamental changes.
This gave Wang Liang the feeling that the plot was moving from one story to another.
Just when Wang Liang wanted to study what changes would happen to the Ximen family after losing Ximen Qing, someone patted him gently from behind.
Wang Liang turned his head and looked behind him, and found that standing behind him was a bystander who also came to watch the fun.
The idle man was wearing linen clothes and had little flesh on his body. His inverted triangle eyes seemed to have little white and his pupils were expressionless. Although his eyes were fixed on the Ximen Pharmacy not far away, no one knew where he was actually looking.
Wang Liang has encountered many such situations in the past few days.
He was a little confused. Why did the ghost cultivator, who could walk freely at night, always appear during the day when looking for him? He also possessed these people at will, making it seem as if the entire city was full of zombies.
"What's the matter?"
Wang Liang said unhappily that after seeing the characteristics of those ghost cultivators in the past few days, he knew how to distinguish the situations of several ghost cultivators during the day.
If the body is covered in sweat, it must be a female ghost pinching small coins. If the eyes are rolled back it means the ghost doesn't want to die. If the pupils are black, it means the ghost has a long life and good fortune.
They were quite polite and would always find Wang Liang every day and whisper to him about what they had done the night before and the progress of their current tasks.
Wang Liang didn't know what they wanted to do, but he guessed that these three must want to join forces with him and participate in the plot of attacking the Demon Ridge Jingyanggang.
"When Ximen Qing died, we got something. We may not be able to use it, but you will be able to use it."
Wang Liang was a little confused when he heard it: "Why give it to me?"
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's find a shady place to talk."
Wang Liang had no way to deal with this situation, after all he was a good man.
Following Fu Shou Man Yuan who left the crowd, they soon came to a shady alley where the sun hardly reached.
Fu Shou Manyuan immediately took out a private seal and handed it to Wang Liang.
The private seal was made of jade and seemed to have traces of being burned.
"This is Ximen Qing's personal seal. It was obtained as a trophy when the three of us surrounded and killed Ximen Qing yesterday. According to the system instructions, with this personal seal, you can choose to take it from either Ximen's pharmacy or Ximen's mansion."
Wang Liang has not been idle these days. He has been inquiring about news in Yanggu County.
Although the civilians in Yanggu County did not feel anything was wrong, the big families had already taken action.
Fu Shou Man Yuan gave away such a thing at this time, definitely for the purpose of exchanging interests.
Wang Liang was somewhat familiar with the articles in the officialdom. He pondered for a moment and said, "I remember when I passed by Jingyanggang, it was the team led by the county magistrate's brother-in-law. His team's convoy was transporting medicinal materials. It seems that he is also engaged in this business. I will be back soon."
As he spoke, Wang Liang took the private seal and then headed towards the county government office.
This is the first time Wang Liang has come in this direction in the past few days.
He knew that this place would be safer before, but because of the incident with the fat merchant Wang Yi, Wang Liang had always been unwilling to go here.
The situation is different this time, Wang Liang already has an idea.
Arriving at the side door of the county government office, Wang Liang saw the servants inside were busy. He stopped a doorman and said, "Sir, I would like to see my parents. I wonder if they are free now."
As he spoke, Wang Liang stuffed a small silver coin into the doorman's hand.
As soon as the doorman took his hand away, he knew he had got something. He smiled at Wang Liang and said with some embarrassment: "The county lord has been very busy these days. I don't know if he will see you."
"Just tell me I have news about his brother-in-law."
As Wang Liang spoke, he took out the Heavenly Master's Thunder Department Order that Wang Yi had given him and handed it to Menzi.
Menzi frowned as he looked at the small bag that was almost turning black, but he still asked Wang Liang to wait for a moment while he went in to report.
About seven or eight minutes later, the doorman came out.
"The county lord wants to see you. He is in the study in the main courtyard."
