"The strange things started in March this year," the fisherman invited them into the house and prepared clean clothes for them to change into. "At first, Aunt Liu in the town lost her son. Aunt Liu couldn't stand the shock and became a madman overnight, running around the streets and talking nonsense all day. Aunt Liu moved here from another place. There were only two people in the family, mother and son. We were all neighbors and couldn't bear to see her starve to death, so we discussed that each family would take turns to bring her a bowl of rice."
This was a good thing, but gradually people discovered that all the families that had shown favors to her suffered misfortune to varying degrees. Either this family broke their legs or that family broke their backs. The newly married daughter of the Li family became a widow, and the new daughter-in-law of the Wang family ran away with someone else.
If only a few families had bad luck, I could still comfort myself by checking the almanac next time I go out, but when half of the people in the town had bad luck at the same time, things became horrifying.
Everyone tries to avoid Aunt Liu.
But it was useless. Even though no one helped Aunt Liu anymore, the misfortune still spread like a plague. The whole town seemed to be filled with thick dust, making it hard to breathe.
"Which immortal sect is in charge of your town?" Max asked at the right time.
As soon as he asked this question, he found that the atmosphere became strange. Several fishermen who seemed relatively kind turned sour, and some even spat secretly.
"Liuyang Sword Sect, so the mayor sent someone to deliver a letter for help to Liuyang Sword Sect."
Sword school?
Max looked at Jake.
What is the relationship between that and Yingshan Sword Sect?
Jake frowned, as if he was thinking. He felt a strong gaze falling on his face. When he looked back, he met Max's gaze. He immediately turned his head away with a cold face.
Max found his reaction very interesting and his eyes curved slightly.
How could his apprentice dislike him so much? The behavior that interfered with the unity of his villain team must be completely corrected.
"But the people from the Liuyang Sword Sect have been hanging around for more than half a month, saying that the evil spirits had been eliminated, but who would have thought that they would be attacked when they were about to leave, and now they are lying unconscious in the inn."
The fisherman was speechless when he said this. He probably thought that the immortal from Liuyang Sword Sect was too stupid. However, even more outrageous things were yet to come. "We sent a message to Liuyang Sword Sect, but they didn't even want the disciples of the sect, and they also asked us to compensate for the losses!"
Hearing this, Max saw a seldom crack in his icy disciple's expression.
After laying so much groundwork in the beginning, and talking about it all, in the end we are being blackmailed by the Immortal Sect?
The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things.

When distinguished guests came to the town, Mayor Bai heard the news and came to personally welcome them to his home for entertainment.
The name of the town is Qianlong Town. It is said that many generations ago there was an immortal who achieved enlightenment and protected the peace of this sea area when he was alive. One day, he turned into a dragon and flew into the sea, and has never been seen since. The town got its name from this.
"He became a sea god."
The little girl who woke up the dreamer with a word was named Yue Heng, the granddaughter of the mayor's sister. She had thick eyebrows and big eyes, was chubby, and had a lively personality. She didn't even bother to eat the dried fish along the way, and kept chattering, "Kui Snake used a trick to escape, and took out his tendons, skinned him, and stewed him in meat soup."
Max laughed and teased her: "Who told you that? How can an immortal be so cruel?"
Yue Heng glanced at him with dissatisfaction, and said confidently: "How can you protect the people of a place without such a cruel heart!"
"He is quite articulate."
Mayor Bai laughed and said, "Well, she just heard the nonsense from the storyteller in the city."
"You're not kidding!" Yue Heng was very angry, his eyebrows raised, "I've seen it!"
The child was talking nonsense, but Mayor Bai didn't pay any attention to her words. Instead, he thought his granddaughter was very cute.
"My little Yue'er, you must have seen me in your dream!" He picked up Yue Heng, put him on his neck and started running. In a few steps, he made the child laugh.
"The mayor looks old, but he's still in good health." Max walked behind with his arms folded, looking around leisurely. He saw the person next to him with a cold expression and no words, so he moved closer and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Jake walked past him and moved forward.
He was very annoyed with Max now and didn't really want to pay attention to him.
Max raised his eyebrows, stared at the cold and ruthless figure in front of him, thought for a moment, and tentatively shouted:
"Ache?"
Jake was stunned and stopped walking.
He turned around expressionlessly and stared at the overly beautiful face, as if he was looking at a dead person.
But in Max's eyes, it was just a furry kitten.
It looks fierce, but not threatening at all.
"Don't call me that." said the kitten.
"Why?"
"too......"
He originally wanted to say that it was too intimate, but he paused because he couldn't really say the word "intimate". In the next moment, he saw the teasing look in Max's eyes.
A layer of frost suddenly covered his face.
Why should I follow his thinking?
"If you scream that again, I'll kill you."
"Kill me?" Jake's expression and words were always dull. Max was stunned for a moment when he heard him say this, then he laughed and followed him, "I just called him a little more intimately, little immortal, you are so unreasonable."
I really don't know who he learned this craziness from. Wow, it really looks like that.
If he continues like this, sooner or later he will be transformed into a qualified villain who will be beneficial to the protagonist's growth.
There was no other movement behind him for a long time. Jake glanced back suspiciously, only to see the man walking behind him with a relieved face and eyes full of kindness like an old father.
His left foot almost tripped over his right foot.
Jake: "......"
ill.
------
The mayor is worthy of being the mayor, he is more wealthy than ordinary people.
Max lifted his legs onto the table, his eyes slowly moving as he surveyed the main room with four corners inlaid with giant luminous pearls, while his other hand was pulling at the leaves of a potted plant nearby.
After the mayor settled Yue Heng down, he came in and saw that the precious Tumi he had bought at a high price had been plucked out. He almost couldn't breathe.
He tried his best to calm down, and quietly moved the poor withered flowers away. He personally made tea for the two of them, "Master, please."
Max didn't like to drink it, but he liked the fragrance. He held the teacup in his hand and stirred the foam from time to time.
He had nothing to do here, and everyone's eyes were on Jake.
Jake sat upright with an elegant and generous manner. The sunlight shone through the shade of the trees onto his thin face. His thin eyelids let in the light, and from certain angles, he still looked a bit childish.
"What's up, Mayor?"
He got straight to the point. Although the mayor felt a little embarrassed, he didn't want to be polite with him and said, "I'm sure the Immortal Master has heard about it. To be honest, I do have something to ask you to do. I asked you two to come here to wake up the three disciples of the Liuyang Sword Sect. We are desperate. I hope the Immortal Master will show mercy and save us."
"Desperate?"
Jake subconsciously glanced at Max.
The devil's purpose of staying here is definitely not to become a savior.
But he couldn't guess it, and because he couldn't guess it, he became more and more depressed.
"Yes, they want natural red glass as compensation, but where can we get that rare thing?" Elder Bai burst into tears and glanced at Jake, "I heard that people who have opened their immortal orifices have immortal consciousness, and immortal consciousness can communicate directly with each other. Those three disciples closed their five senses and couldn't hear the outside world calling them, so they couldn't wake up."
"Red Glaze?" Max paused, his eyes slightly raised, "What's the use of it?"
"I think it's for sale... This natural red glass is also called red glass flower. It's not very useful, but it's valuable. It can be polished into objects for appreciation. It's the favorite of the rich kids. If an ordinary family has such a thing, they will also take it as a family heirloom."
Mayor Bai said a lot, but Max only heard two words - valuable.
He flicked his fingers at the red petals that piled up like a hill in the system space, and curved his eyes in satisfaction.
It’s really valuable.
------
At night, the two stayed at the mayor's house.
There were several people in the mayor's family, and they could only vacate one empty room. The apprentice refused to sleep on the same bed with him no matter what. Max rolled around on the soft mattress, expressing great regret.
The moon is at its zenith, and all is quiet.
Max's breathing was subtle and long when he slept, making only a small noise that disappeared into the silent night.
The hazy moonlight shines obliquely onto the wall through the window lattice, softly reflecting the shadows of the people in the room.
Was he born to be an evil demon who could bewitch people, so he looked like this?
Jake stood in front of the bed, staring at his handsome face, his cold eyes tinged with coldness, without any extra emotions.
The shadow of a dagger suddenly appeared on the wall, with the short blade pointing downwards, flashing a sharp cold light.
The person on the bed was sleeping soundly. The tip of the knife was only half an inch away from his eyes. His eyelashes just trembled slightly, and a word in his sleep came out from his lips, and then he fell asleep again.
The dagger moved down and pierced the neck without hesitation.
The sleeping man groaned in pain, and a steady stream of demonic energy gushed out from his horrifying wounds.
Jake's face changed slightly, buzz------
His head seemed to be hit by a heavy object. When he regained consciousness, there was a thin red line on his wrist, and the other end was tied to Max by the window. He was playing with the dagger, observing the patterns on the wooden handle in the moonlight with great interest.
"Good stuff," he smiled at Jake, "specially for suppressing evil spirits?"
Jake said calmly: "No, I just want to suppress you."
"Well," Max seemed very surprised, "I have a lot of face."
"You won't kill me?"
"I won't kill you," Max threw the dagger to him, his eyes raised with a smile, "I can't wait to love you."
Jake ignored his nonsense, caught the dagger, and slashed it into the air the next moment. A cold light flashed, and the red line floated in the night wind, as intact as steel.
He could sense an unusual power lingering on the red thread, it was... strange.
Max suddenly came to his side, stretched out his hand slightly, and the sharp blade cut his palm.
Jake suddenly felt a pain in his palm.
Max's palm was oozing with blood, but the pain was felt in his hand.
He was slightly surprised: "Return to the same line..."
In the end, the manipulator can transfer his or her own feelings to another person, including death.
"Gui Yi Sheng?" Max thought about it and said, "It's a good name."
"How come the treasure of the Fan family in Luozhou is here with you?"
Max raised his eyebrows and said word by word: "No. Tell. You."
Of course it was redeemed from the points mall. How can I tell you?
Jake's chest heaved violently, and his hands clenched tightly, the force almost made his palms bleed, "You wiped out their entire family?!"
The table was hit with a loud bang, and his voice suddenly increased. He grabbed Max by the collar and stared at him with bloodshot eyes.
I have never seen him so out of control. He was like a wild animal who had lost its cubs and was going crazy without a care in the world under the hunter's gun.
Too bad there are no hunters here.
"No." Max put away his usual smiling face and looked unusually serious. Jake didn't know what happened to him, but he gradually calmed down just because of his two words. It was as if three fires were lit on his head and then all went out with a puff.
Max glanced down and said lightly: "If you don't let me go..."
Under the moonlight, there seemed to be dense black shadows crawling at a very fast speed.
The two people's faces were very close because of the conflict just now, and their warm breath sprayed on each other's faces when they spoke.
"The monsters outside are about to come in."
