Seeing that the young man was specially guided by the Lin family to sit in the main seat, the other masters at the table were immediately more certain of his identity. Seeing that he did not like to chat, they exchanged glances with each other. Finally, Taoist Changxu, who was sitting on Felix's right, spoke first: "Mr. Lu, I have heard of your name for a long time."

Felix glanced at him: "Who are you calling?"

"Huh?" Taoist Changxu was stunned by the question, "Aren't you the direct descendant of the Lu family invited by Mr. Lin? Why don't you call me Mr. Lu?"

"What Lu family, what Mr. Lu?" Felix frowned, "I am the 62nd generation leader of Taicang Sect, Felix."

Tai...Taicang Sect? What kind of sect is that?

Everyone present exchanged glances and realized that no one had ever heard of it, and their faces suddenly changed.

Taoist Changxu frowned and asked in confusion: "You are not Mr. Lu, so what are you doing here?"

Felix picked up the chopsticks, glanced at the dishes on the table, and then looked at the fragrant door not far away.

He answered as a matter of course: "Of course I come to eat."

Then he ate it without any adulteration.

Seeing him acting like he was alone, everyone was speechless. They sat here just to rest before work. Who would really come here to eat? But Felix not only ate, but also focused on it, with precise chopstick placement, and even remembered to greet the follower beside him: "What are you doing standing there?"

Tuanjieyi, who had become someone else's apprentice for no apparent reason, was still confused. Felix saw that he was slow to start eating and could not help but frowning. His new apprentice was good in every way except that he was a little dull. Not only did he lose his previous slickness and cleverness, but he was also frequently dazed and absent-minded. I wonder if he was overwhelmed by the joy of becoming a disciple so easily.

However, he was indeed a better master than Arthur. Not only did he not ask his apprentice to go out hunting to support himself, he was also very capable and took his apprentice out for food and drink. It was inevitable that the apprentice would be overwhelmed with joy after entering such a master.

Arthur really should learn this from him.

The other people at the table were greatly disappointed when they realized that he was not the "Lu family member" that everyone had been waiting for. In addition, the "Taicang Sect" mentioned by the other party was unknown and no one knew what kind of fake sect it was, so of course their interest in approaching and chatting with him disappeared completely.

The old Taoist priest with a long beard was no longer as polite as before. He frowned and sat a little further away in disdain, shaking his head and complaining to the witch next to him: "How can such a person be treated as a distinguished guest by the Lin family? It's really outrageous."

He suddenly changed his attitude and acted like the leader of the table, but Felix ignored him and just focused on eating. In a blink of an eye, he finished half of the dishes on the table. The old Taoist was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "This is really unreasonable!"

The witch couldn't help but look at Felix's thin body and flat belly. She couldn't believe that he could eat up all the food and wine on the table so easily. As the remaining half of the table of food slowly disappeared, her eyes gradually changed from envy to shock.

Is this still a human? There are more than 30 dishes! The braised pork elbow alone weighs at least three pounds. Where did he put it after he ate it? It's not scientific at all!

At the same time, on the Fengyang Town Expressway, less than 50 kilometers away from the Lin family, a flashy off-road vehicle was speeding.

Lu Wenqing was humming a song in the driver's seat, but the rock music on the stereo was playing softly. His older cousin Li Rui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sighed helplessly: "Wenqing, you have too much yin energy. You really can't do your family's business. Aren't you doing well in your major? Why force yourself to do something that doesn't suit you?"

Lu Wenqing's face changed, he stopped singing, and stared at his cousin fiercely: "Who is not suitable? I think you are too lazy to accompany me to Fengyang. Don't you think whose fault it is? There are so many good businesses in Beijing, and the pay is high, but you insisted on taking this order from a remote place for me."

Li Rui was shocked by his unreasonableness: "Do you still have shame? Don't you look at your own level? Who would dare to let you take orders from Beijing? Do you want to ruin your family's reputation if you take them? If you don't want to do cheap business, then you should restrain yourself and don't be so unlucky."

... Lu Wenqing said stubbornly, "Who is unlucky?"

"Isn't your fate unlucky enough?" Li Rui rolled his eyes and counted his fingers for him. "I won't talk about the usual things like losing money when going out, falling down when going up the mountain to catch ghosts, and being chased and bitten by ghosts. This time when I came to Fengyang, my car broke down on the road. Broken down, my friend, your Mercedes Benz SUV broke down for no reason! There is no signal on the phone in the mountains! If Mr. Shuo Zong hadn't happened to be nearby, we would both be in big trouble!"

After he said this, Lu Wenqing was speechless and couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him.

In the back seat, Mr. Shuo Zong, as they called him, was leaning against the window with his eyes closed. He had a good-looking face, with a high nose bridge that seemed to have been carved, and sharp eyebrows and eyes that were temporarily closed. He looked handsome, and his age was hard to tell. This was nothing unusual, after all, there were so many beautiful women in the world. What was strange was that in such a hot season, this man was still wearing long sleeves. He sat steadily, and even the angle of his head seemed meticulous. He looked like an old scholar who followed the rules. However, there were some totem patterns extending from the unusually high collar of his shirt, climbing from his slender neck all the way to the base of his left ear. A closer look showed that even the entire back of his right hand was not spared.

The totem was obscure, not like the green dragon on the left and white tiger on the right of the street brother's house, nor like the non-mainstream sadness of young lovers, but like a twisted rune with no rules to follow, which was always puzzling at first glance. However, upon closer inspection, the totem was inexplicably fierce, telling a strange threat that if you look at it again, I will kill you.

It's a combination of madness and rationality.

The complex never opened his eyes, but the aura around him did not weaken at all. He seemed to know everything that was happening around him without even looking. He said calmly, "Watch the road."

Lu Wenqing shuddered, immediately sat up straight, and replaced the music that was already so soft that it was almost a whisper with the radio.

The host of the car radio was slowly reporting an accident that occurred today on Fengyang Mountain, a famous scenic spot in Fengyang Town. The accident process was very strange, and the host was also very excited. The content frequently mentioned a sect called Taicang Sect, which was said to have been learned from the security guards of the scenic spot. Lu Wenqing was not in the mood to listen at the moment, and his attention was all drawn to the back.

Regarding Mr. Shuo Zong, Lu Wenqing remembered that he had been in his home when he was very young.

At that time, the people following him were his parents, who now run most of the Lu family's business. So many years have passed, he has grown up and his parents are getting old, but he seems to have stopped in time, and he is exactly the same as he was in his memory.

As the only outsider living in the Lu family, outsiders always thought that Mr. Shuo Zong was a cousin or distant friend of the Lu family. However, Lu Wenqing, as a direct descendant of the Lu family, knew clearly that the relationship between the other party and his elders was far more complicated than he had guessed.

Not to mention his parents who were always cautious in front of him, even the ancestors of the Lu family who had never been out of the mountain had to be respectful when seeing this person. Compared with relatives, Lu Wenqing felt that their attitude towards Mr. Shuo Zong was more like a precious treasure worshipped at home. And Mr. Shuo Zong was indeed very different from ordinary people. Not to mention his strength and face, his unique good fortune alone was something that Lu Wenqing, who had been unlucky for more than 20 years, could never achieve in his lifetime.

This time, the car they drove to Fengyang broke down on the highway. There was no village or shop nearby and their cell phones had no signal. They had already despairedly accepted the reality of having to walk dangerously on the highway, but Mr. Shuo Zong was unexpectedly nearby. When the two sides met, the other party opened the car door and sat in without saying a word - and the car miraculously caught fire.

Lu Wenqing had a weak destiny and a lot of yin energy. When he was a child, even the wild ghosts on the roadside dared to bully him to death. How could he get a little bit of luck from this person? He thought too much and hurriedly came back to his senses, only to find that he had been in a daze for so long, but the car was still driving straight as a line. The front was empty and there was no obstacle in sight.

I guess it was thanks to Mr. Shuo Zong who was sitting on the motorcycle.

Li Rui, the cousin in the co-pilot's seat, whispered, "Well, you have to understand that the Lin family is your first order, so you have to complete it independently, right? I can't always guide you step by step."

Lu Wenqing suddenly became even more worried. Every time he came to this point, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only admit that he was not talented enough in the study of yin and yang. His parents and brothers and sisters had taught him for so many years, but he only learned a little about Feng Shui. But maybe because he was bullied by wild ghosts a lot when he was a child, he could never get over the psychological shadow. Once he encountered troubles that were not limited to the scope of Feng Shui, he would first scare himself to death psychologically, let alone subdue the other party.

Lu Wenqing gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe there's just something wrong with the furnishings in his house."

Li Rui smiled evilly: "Maybe not. Haven't you seen how exhausted and lifeless the couple looked? Tsk tsk tsk, it's like they were being stared at by a ghost."

When Lu Wenqing heard those two words, he felt a gust of cold wind and his arms holding the steering wheel broke out in goose bumps.

Li Rui felt a little sorry for his brother when he saw him so frightened. Instead, he comforted him: "Oh, I'm just trying to scare you. I'm with you. What's there to be afraid of? If all else fails, don't you still have Mr. Shuo Zong? When the time comes, Mr. Shuo Zong will give you a magic weapon that will be enough for you to show off your power in front of evil spirits."

Li Rui felt that he was really smart, and he started laughing as he spoke. Mr. Shuo Zong, who had been quiet in the back seat, finally opened his eyelids, his eyes were sharp without any sleepiness. Under the other party's calm gaze, Li Rui's laughter became lower and lower, until it finally disappeared and turned into an awkward cough.

Lu Wenqing was also speechless. He wondered if his cousin had become mentally retarded for saying such illogical things.

How could Mr. Shuo Zong give him something? It’s good enough that he didn’t ask him for money to repair the car.

Sure enough, his mind changed, and the gaze that had stared at Li Rui to eliminate his thoughts turned to himself, and the gaze was colder than the cold wind blown by a ghost.

Alas, there was no way to avoid it. Lu Wenqing had been with the other party for more than 20 years with his parents, so he naturally knew what that meant. He immediately said, "Don't worry, sir. I will pay you the cost of repairing the car when I return to Beijing."

The heavy feeling of pressure on my back finally disappeared.

Lu Wenqing was about to cry and almost cried out loud.

The price for asking Mr. Shuo Zong to help is not cheap. This trip to Fengyang is definitely in vain. I might even have to pay a lot.

I made a loss the first time I took an order. What kind of thing is this?

***

At the Lin family's old house, thanks to Felix, the banquet started and ended quickly. The old Taoist with a long beard was a little slow with his chopsticks, so he didn't eat anything from beginning to end and left the table hungry.

Even if he didn't care about food, he still felt very upset at this moment.

The agreed time was approaching, but the invited Lu family members were still nowhere to be seen. Old Mrs. Lin was a little anxious, and the old Taoist with a long beard looked dark: "Our waiting time is precious, there is no point in waiting any longer."

Seeing his tough attitude, Mrs. Lin could not delay any longer and could only signal the servants to leave. She then sat in the living room with her son and daughter-in-law as she was told.

Lin Hanyang and his wife looked at Felix frequently. Secretly, they wanted to ask Felix for help. The other magicians in the room were just reluctant to be dismissed for the sake of their mother's face. But they didn't expect that when everyone else was busy setting out their magic tools, Felix was sitting leisurely in the corner of the corridor with a can of Coke in his hand and a sense of unity.

The old Taoist priest was directing his apprentice to place the incense table. Seeing this scene, the disdain on his face became even more obvious.

Felix also didn't understand what these people were doing. It was just catching a bunch of little ghosts, why would it take so much effort? He would be better off eating a few more bites of food with that energy.

Thinking of this, he took another sip of the strange wine in his hand, and was instantly intoxicated by the cold and jumping sweetness in his mouth. It was simply the most wonderful taste he had ever tasted in his life.

Felix sighed secretly, thinking that even the finest wine from the gods could only be like this.

Tuanjieyi didn't eat anything just now, but after a meal, he came back to his senses. He squatted beside Felix, watching him sip the can of Coke with relish. He looked around the house that he didn't have time to see just now, and felt a little admiration in his heart: "Brother---"

Felix looked at him.

"...Master." Just call me that. It won't cost you a piece of meat anyway. Tuan Tuan Yi has always been generous. "Master, I didn't realize you are so powerful!"

They are both committing fraud. They sneak into houses, pick locks and pretend to be blind to beg for food, and at most they can steal an electric bike. But the other party managed to trick someone who lives in a villa. What a fat sheep!

This was the first time Felix encountered flattery, but he remained calm and just straightened his back slightly.

Very shrewd!

*****Second update******

The magicians in the center of the living room had already started showing off their magical powers, some were performing trance dances, some were chanting scriptures, some were telling stories, and some were offering roosters to the sky. The witch was also standing solemnly at the door, dancing with joy. After a while, she prepared some incense ash and talisman water for the Lin family to drink. However, after all this, everyone still looked solemn, and it was obvious that they had gained nothing.

The old Taoist priest with a long beard standing nearby snorted at this moment: "How dare you show off such a petty trick? Get out of the way!"

Everyone was unhappy with his arrogance, but the old Taoist priest did have some skills. After muttering to himself for a while in front of the incense table, he raised the peach wood sword and pointed it at the door that Felix had been paying attention to, motioning for his disciples to go up and open it.

He took out a piece of talisman paper, held it between his hands and blew on it. The talisman paper then floated up and flew towards the room.

Tuanjieyi carefully observed what new scam this was. After looking for a long time, he couldn't see where the fishing line was hanging. He rubbed his arms and said, "Master, do you feel like the temperature has dropped again?"

Felix ignored him and stared fixedly at the open room.

The moment the talisman paper floated into the house, it spontaneously ignited without any fire. Then a gust of cold wind appeared out of nowhere and blew the burnt talisman ashes back to the living room.

Everyone else in the room was horrified by this scene, but the old Taoist with a long beard smiled confidently: "Sure enough, it's here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in his field of vision began to distort, and countless tiny pieces of ashes began to gather in one direction until they formed an indistinct black shadow.

Unity: "?"

The black shadow howled miserably and suddenly pounced towards the old Taoist priest!

Unity: "????!!!!"

The old Taoist immediately raised the peach wood sword and started fighting with the black shadow. The scene was so thrilling with flying sand and rocks. The black shadow rushed left and right. Although it had no real shape, it was very difficult to deal with. The old Taoist took a lot of effort to chop it up with the peach wood sword, and he himself spat out blood with a pale face.

But he finally chopped the shadow into pieces. He wiped the corner of his mouth and said proudly: "Nothing more than that."

Everyone present was horrified after watching the scene. Even Lin Hanyang, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, looked at him with awe: "This... is it solved?"

The old Taoist snorted, and his disciples showed proud expressions on their faces, and explained proudly: "Of course, this little trouble is nothing to the master. Mr. Lin, don't worry, your family troubles are just caused by wild ghosts. Now that the wild ghosts have fled, your predicament will certainly be solved."

Mrs. Lin was overjoyed and immediately came forward to offer tea and water to express her gratitude. Other sorcerers also went forward to congratulate him, ashamed of themselves. The old Taoist glanced at everyone's respectful eyes, and then glanced at Felix who was sitting alone in the corner without moving. He snorted in his heart, thinking that the boy who just sat in the first seat without knowing the etiquette must be ashamed of himself.

Tuanjieyi was probably the only person present who was not in the right situation. He was completely confused at this moment: "What the f*ck is that...what the f*ck was that just now?!"

He turned to look at Felix beside him, but found that Felix had no intention of giving him an answer. He was still staring at the wide open room with a burning gaze, and there seemed to be more excitement in his eyes that was not there before.

Tuan Tuan Yi didn't know why his heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong.

The old Taoist perhaps also noticed something, and suddenly raised his head amid the many flattering voices.

Before everyone understood what was going on, the house, which had just been full of joy, was once again plunged into bottomless cold.

The voice disappeared instantly, but in the empty room, a voice came from somewhere: "Hehe."

The laughter was delicate and charming, and no one knew how such a beautiful woman could make it. However, those present did not have the courage to appreciate or imagine it. The most courageous person, Mrs. Lin, was so frightened that her face turned blue and she held her chest, gasping for breath.

Lin Hanyang stuttered, "Wang, Taoist Wang, what's going on?!"

The old Taoist priest did not answer, but picked up the peach wood sword again with a serious expression, his eyes fixed in one direction.

A vague shape appeared again in the room with the door open, but this time it was different from the last time. What appeared was not just a mass of black gas, but it became clearer and longer, until finally, a slender figure like a woman's was revealed.

The old Taoist's expression suddenly changed, and he called it with certainty: "Feng Yang Xian."

People gathered around and someone asked, "What is Feng Yangxian? Is she a deity?"

The witch was a gossip-monger, and she immediately explained, "What kind of deity is this? She was a female ghost who died on Fengyang Mountain. However, she has a long career, so I just gave her a respectful title. I heard that she devoured an entire village of villagers ten years ago in order to transform into a human. The Fengyang Town Government was in a state of panic at that time, and they invited many magicians from surrounding cities to hold a seminar. But she immediately hid herself after that, and it seems that her transformation into a human was unsuccessful."

1. The residents of a village! Everyone was almost pissing themselves after hearing this: "Can this, this, this Taoist Master Wang withstand this?"

"It will be fine, everyone should trust him." The witch said as she started to pack her things: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave now."

However, she had no way to escape. Feng Yangxian glanced at her and laughed sinisterly: "I live well here and am satisfied with everything. Suddenly, you guys broke in, filling the place with chicken blood and dog urine, making it stink, and even killed my foot-washing maid. Now you come and go as you please. Do you think this is an elevator?"

After saying that, she raised her hand and the wind whistled past. Dozens of black shadows that looked exactly like the ones just killed by the old Taoist priest gathered behind her, and they opened their mouths and roared in unison as if to show off their strength to the boss.

The witch's face turned pale instantly, not to mention the old Taoist priest. He was already exhausted after killing that little ghost just now, but he had no idea that the thing he had beaten to exhaustion just now was actually just one of the opponent's minions.

He immediately raised the peach wood sword and took out all the talismans in his pocket, but he was unable to resist Feng Yangxian's tricks. The female ghost tilted her head, and her long hair swung like a spirit snake, completely ignoring his blessed peach wood sword, and wrapped around him, pulling him into the room.

Everyone in the house was frightened by this scene. Some screamed and some ran away. None of the masters crawling on the ground dared to step forward to help. Those who could move all rushed madly to the corner farthest from the crime scene.

Tuanjieyi, as a staunch materialist, was originally incompatible with the charlatans in the room. Watching the special effects movie live at this moment made him even more dizzy and his mind went blank. He was as quiet as a stuffed chicken in the screams of the crowd, but at this moment, a huge force hit his shoulder and lifted him into the air.

After the old Taoist priest was dragged into the room, he felt himself being smashed to the ground. Feng Yangxian's long hair was so dense that it almost suffocated him. It was pitch black in front of his eyes, and he could only hear the screams of the crowd outside. He knew that no one was useful. At that moment, his mind flashed through his life story, and he couldn't help but sighed - my life is over.

However, after waiting for a while, what greeted him was not Feng Yangxian's sharp teeth, but the other party's angry scolding.

"Bold!"

The hair that was wrapped around him suddenly loosened. The old Taoist priest lay on the ground in a daze for a moment, then raised his head. At first glance, he saw the black shadows around him who were standing there like dumbfounded chickens. Then he looked again and almost couldn't breathe!

The ragged young man had entered the room at some point and was riding on Feng Yangxian tightly, his eyes shining. He held Feng Yangxian's head and pulled it up as hard as if he was pulling a carrot!

Old Taoist priest: "????"

Feng Yangxian's younger brothers were also confused, but Feng Yangxian herself was furious. Her neck was pulled so long that it was almost like a chicken's neck, but the man on her didn't let go. Maybe he felt that sitting was not convenient, so he stood up and put one foot on her back to continue pulling!

Her slender figure was trampled flat and wide, and the man on top of her was extremely strong, so she couldn't escape for a moment. When she struggled a little harder, the man on top of her raised his fist and hit her.

The style of that punch was very strange. She could feel each punch hitting her soul as if it were hitting her flesh. Feng Yang was so angry that she was about to collapse. Her long hair was flying all over the sky, as if she wanted to take the life of this daring thief.

Felix was so greedy by the evil spirit that spread out when she got angry that his mouth was about to drool, but this evil ghost was very resilient and he couldn't pull her neck off no matter how hard he tried. He tossed around for a long time and was getting very hungry, so he simply grabbed Feng Yangxian's hair, forced her to raise her face, and bit her head directly.

Feng Yangxian had half of her cheek bitten off by him: "...????"

No, wait a minute, my friend, what are you doing? Where is your peach wood sword? Where is your black dog blood yin and yang talisman? Wake up! This is not the procedure you should follow!

The soul was torn apart directly, and ghosts would also feel pain. Feng Yangxian was stunned and suddenly felt unbearable pain and fear, and began to struggle, howling wildly.

Felix ignored her screams and counterattacks, held down her rolling body, grabbed her head and bit her one bite after another. Occasionally, when she struggled too hard, he felt it was inconvenient to eat her, so he swung his arms and punched her twice. Such a brutal scene frightened the old Taoist priest with a long beard and the little ghosts in the room so much that they could hardly take care of themselves. They huddled together in the corner and shivered. Several little evil ghosts who had opened their minds and killed people without restraint were so frightened that they could not move and could only open their mouths and scream helplessly like sheep.

When Felix bit Feng Yangxian's chin, Feng Yangxian no longer had a head to make a sound, which made it much easier for him to eat. But he suddenly remembered something and stopped.

Felix raised his head and found that Tuan Tuanyi, whom he had brought with him just now, was still standing at the door, staring at him in a trance.

Being stared at like this, Felix felt guilty for the first time, as if he had followed in Arthur's footsteps. So after weighing it for a moment, he pulled hard and tore off half of Feng Yangxian's arm.

"Swear brotherhood." Felix held down the violently bouncing evil spirit under him, then extended his arm to his sweet-mouthed disciple, and said lovingly: "Come and eat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clang and Tuanjieyi fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back.

Felix was stunned for a moment, and without knowing the truth, he swung his arm and started beating Feng Yangxian.

He was furious: "How dare you hurt my apprentice!!!"

Feng Yangxian, who had no brains to refute, said: ...
