Chapter 247: My Name Is Yuan Wang Lingguan, I'll Handle Things for You

Annan City, old city district.

Public bathhouse.

This bathhouse has at least thirty years of history, and the patina on the door frame is probably older than Zhang Fan's age.

Taking a bath here is still like in the old days, giving a wooden token, which is equivalent to your key tag, and finding a seat according to the number.

"There is still such an old bathhouse in this day and age?" Fang Changle followed Zhang Fan in and couldn't help but show a strange look.

"You are looking for Qin Shi, why come here?"

"Inquiring about news," Zhang Fan said casually.

His so-called connections are just a few lines. Lin Jianyue has a little sister in Huizhou Province, who often orders 【Dao-Nurturing Pills】 from her, and the relationship is good.

That little sister recommended a local big brother, who is basically an information peddler, and is very well-connected in Annan City, and even in the land of Huizhou Province.

Especially the secrets and dirty deeds of those wealthy disciples and cultivation families, he knows them clearly.

Like Qin Shi, it's fine for him to stay behind closed doors for a short time, but if it's too long, he will definitely be suffocated.

As long as you know where he often plays, you can block him one by one.

Hu...

There was almost no one in the old bathhouse. This kind of place is basically for self-entertainment, and many rich people who are nostalgic buy it to play by themselves.

White water vapor permeated the surroundings.

Just at this moment, a strange sound came from the bathhouse, revealing a bit of weirdness.

"Young man..."

"Kneel down and plead guilty immediately, quickly say that what you did is wrong, I will teach you hand by hand to learn immediately, otherwise I will dry your mother to scrap, slap your father to kneel with a big mouth, you don't want to watch your family run around for you..."

"Hmm!?"

Zhang Fan and Fang Changle stopped abruptly, looked at each other, and both showed strange expressions.

"Brother Yuan, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will definitely pay back the money, even if I sell the house and car, I will pay it back to you..."

The next moment, a rapid and panicked plea for mercy came from the white mist.

"Whether you pay back the money or not doesn't matter, but the rules cannot be violated casually. Doing things should pay tribute to the older generation. You dare to run away without any awe for me. I can only dry one of your arms to scrap, and if you don't pay back, I will burn it all to you as the settlement fee below."

That strange and rhythmic sound rang out again.

"No... don't, Brother Yuan, you have to look at Diao Ye's face, I was wrong... I was really wrong..."

The plea for mercy followed one after another, revealing the panic and helplessness that could not be concealed.

"My anger is burning, the fire is straight to the sky, higher than Chu Chaoran's big pants waist, whoever is not convinced, come and try my big treasure knife!"

"Dry him!"

"Ah ah ah..."

As soon as the words fell, a miserable scream came from the white water vapor.

"What kind of thing is this?"

Fang Changle looked at Zhang Fan in a daze, his expression becoming more and more strange.

Just at this moment, two naked men walked out, dragging a figure, wearing only a white towel, one arm was soft, clearly already scrapped, and his body was blue and purple.

The two naked men seemed not to see Zhang Fan and Fang Changle, dragging the person out of the bathhouse.

"Who are you?"

Just at this moment, a lazy voice came from behind.

Zhang Fan turned around and saw a short and thin man with a rough beard walking out. He was barefoot, with a strong upper body, and the lower body was only covered with a white towel.

"We were introduced by Sister Bai, here to find Brother Yuan," Zhang Fan explained his purpose.

Lin Jianyue's little sister is Sister Bai.

"Oh, people introduced by Xiao Jie," the man touched his rough beard, his eyes squinted, and looked at Zhang Fan.

"That's one of our own."

As he spoke, the man slowly stretched out his fist.

Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, that high-pitched and rhythmic sound rang out again.

"My name is Yuan Wang Lingguan, find Brother Yuan for things, I will handle it for you immediately, you and my feelings, worth more than gold."

"..."

"..."

Yuan Wang Lingguan's fist still stayed in mid-air.

Zhang Fan was indeed unable to recover from the petrified state for a long time. What kind of thing is this?

It was Fang Changle who pulled Zhang Fan's corner of the clothes behind him, and the latter's gaze fell on Yuan Wang Lingguan's fist staying in mid-air.

He followed suit, stretched out his fist and collided with it.

Yuan Wang Lingguan curled his lips, showing a satisfied smile, and gave a look.

"Follow me."

As he spoke, Yuan Wang Lingguan took the two out of the pool, turned the corner to the second floor, and came to a lounge.

"Damn, cold day, who turned off the air conditioning?"

Just after entering the door, Yuan Wang Lingguan shivered and scolded: "In this weather, without turning on the air conditioning, how can I be at ease? Damn, freezing me to death, you won't be bored? Not bad for this electricity bill, I am a local tyrant."

"..."

"..."

Zhang Fan and Fang Changle followed behind, the two looked at each other, everything was in silence.

As soon as the words fell, the central air conditioning turned on automatically, and a warm wind blew out.

Yuan Wang Lingguan sat down openly, looked at Zhang Fan and Fang Changle, and smiled: "You came to find me, there must be something to ask."

"Say it, in this land, Brother Yuan's name is useful. Based on our feelings, even if you want to worship into the ten major Daoist mountains, you can handle it casually," Yuan Wang Lingguan skillfully lit a cigarette and said casually.

"Worship into the ten major Daoist mountains? Any sect?" Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looking at Fang Changle.

The ten major Daoist mountains in the world are famous because they have powerful inheritance and strict selection of disciples, not something you can just pay a registration fee to enter.

"Mount Long Hu is not possible, it has been broken for more than eighty years. The other nine mountain gates can be picked casually," Yuan Wang Lingguan said indifferently.

"As long as the meaning is reached, you can worship any seniority you want."

"Meaning reached? Didn't you say that based on our feelings, we can worship casually?" Fang Changle couldn't help but say.

"Little brother, this is our first time meeting today," Yuan Wang Lingguan glanced at him.

"Yes."

"Since it's the first time meeting, where are the feelings?"

"..."

"Brother Yuan really has good methods," Zhang Fan opened his mouth and laughed dryly.

"Good to say, but the ugly words are in the front, only responsible for worshipping the teacher, not responsible for leaving the apprenticeship. After all, the old saying also said..."

"The master leads into the grave, cultivation is in the individual, the road to cultivation is long and difficult to enter, no one can enter the soul in one shot," Yuan Wang Lingguan came again.

"Master leads into the grave?" Zhang Fan heard something wrong.

"Of course, taking the back door can only worship those Daoist seniors who have already died. Anyway, it can't be investigated," Yuan Wang Lingguan said indifferently.

"Just say that he accepted disciples outside, how to investigate? Can't call those old people up from underground."

Speaking of this, Yuan Wang Lingguan spat out a big smoke ring and said with certainty: "Of course, the certificates handled for you are absolutely true, and there are records on the official website of the Daoist Alliance, which can be checked." "..."

"Brother Yuan, we are not here to worship the teacher today, just want to inquire about some news," Zhang Fan didn't pull around anymore and went straight to the point.

"Market price is 10,000, based on our brothers' feelings, give you a 20% discount," Yuan Wang Lingguan said indifferently.

Zhang Fan heard this and hesitated slightly: "Brother Yuan, the news I inquired about today..."

"I don't care who you are, the rules of the road, Brother Yuan will not eat his words and get fat. Even if the sky thunders, even if people die and the whole family is gone, customer safety first, this Brother Yuan will," Yuan Wang Lingguan said indifferently.

As soon as the words fell, he took out a QR code and put it on the table.

"..."

Zhang Fan didn't say a word, opened his phone, and transferred 8,000 directly.

"Ask."

"I want to know, where does Qin Shi usually like to go?" Zhang Fan asked directly.

(Content omitted for brevity)

"Qin Shi... the young master of the Qin family?" Yuan Wang Lingguan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said.

"You asked the right person."

"The ancestors of the Qin family also produced Celestial Masters, but the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. It is inevitable to produce a few prodigal sons."

"Qin Shi is considered to have been reincarnated into their family to balance luck. He usually mixes with people like Li Kongxing."

Speaking of this, Yuan Wang Lingguan paused slightly, and his gaze swept over Zhang Fan and Fang Changle.

"Li Kongxing knows, a dignified disciple of Mount Qiyun, in fact, the dirty deeds he did behind his back have long been no fresh news on the road."

"Don't know," Zhang Fan was expressionless and shook his head.

"Don't know doesn't matter, anyway, it's already a dead person, knowing it is also unlucky," Yuan Wang Lingguan curled his lips and smiled.

"You say mixing with such people can be good?"

Hearing this, Zhang Fan's heart stabilized by three points. This kind of prodigal son, with a body of bad habits, letting him stay behind closed doors, it's fine for a short time, but if it's too long, it's really more uncomfortable than killing him.

"This young master of the Qin family has many hobbies, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, smoking, cheating, kidnapping, stealing..." Yuan Wang Lingguan muttered softly, his brain seemed to be retrieving detailed information about Qin Shi.

"The place he goes most often is the 【Ode to Joy】 in the black market, hehe... good place..."

"【Ode to Joy】!?"

Zhang Fan and Fang Changle looked at each other, showing a look of doubt.

This place... listening... seems...

"That's right, it's the kind of place you think of."

"Ode to Joy, send in and send out, carefree and happy," Yuan Wang Lingguan said lightly.

"So he likes this bite..." Zhang Fan said indifferently.

Wine is a poisonous medicine that pierces the intestines, color is a steel knife that scrapes bones, wealth is a fierce tiger going down the mountain, and anger is the root of trouble.

The ancestors have already said it clearly. Falling into these four harms is happy without bounds, and the disaster is without bounds.

"Hehe, woman..." Yuan Wang Lingguan listened to Zhang Fan's tone and curled his lips and smiled.

"Pan Jin Lian's medicine, Yan Dongping's smile, men's tears fall, only by striving for self-improvement can you not be dumped as garbage!"

"..."

"Brother, the women in this 【Ode to Joy】 are not ordinary women." Yuan Wang Lingguan reminded.

"How to say?"

"They are all demons."

"Demons?"

Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow, and Fang Changle couldn't help but show a strange look.

"Can there be so many demons?"

"Brother asked the point," Yuan Wang Lingguan lowered his voice and said: "They will catch some mountain spirits and wild monsters, use pills to catalyze inner alchemy, and then seal the soul aspects of those mountain spirits and wild monsters into the inner alchemy, forcibly seizing human bodies..."

"Man-made demons!?" Zhang Fan showed a strange look.

He knew that the process of spirits becoming demons requires a process, the most important of which is to cultivate inner alchemy to guard the soul aspect, so that they can further seize human bodies.

Only in this way can the rejection reaction of the human body be minimized, so as not to demonize.

However, the man-made demons catalyzed by 【Ode to Joy】 are equivalent to using hormones to catalyze pork, and there must be side effects more or less.

"That must have side effects..."

"First of all, the lifespan of these man-made demons must be very short, generally not long..." Yuan Wang Lingguan said indifferently.

First of all, this process of becoming a demon is greatly shortened, disrupting the heavenly law, and naturally has to pay a price.

Secondly, because their inner alchemy is catalyzed, even if they seize the body and become a demon, it is difficult to truly preserve the soul aspect, and there will be demonization conditions on their bodies more or less.

In fact, this is the fun of it.

For example, a carp spirit becomes a demon, and a sticky liquid will secrete from its body from time to time. That degree of wetness is the favorite of some guests.

Another example, a fox spirit becomes a demon, and it will grow ears and tails because of demonization.

These animal ears and animal tails are also extremely popular.

"The characteristics of Ode to Joy belong to a unique one in the entire Annan City..." Yuan Wang Lingguan said indifferently.

However, because the lifespan of these man-made demons is extremely short, every once in a while, they have to go into the mountains to catch a batch of mountain spirits and wild monsters for catalysis and transformation.

As a result, the mountain spirits and wild monsters nearby are also like birds of prey, and they have already communicated with each other internally.

Anyone who introduces work, introduces cultivation paths, etc., to pull you out of the mountains and into the city, must be extremely cautious, especially when familiar spirits from the same mountain and water pull you, you must keep an eye on it.

Outside is not better than in the mountains, fraud is everywhere, spirits need to save themselves.

"Why do I feel a bit familiar?" Fang Changle couldn't help but say.

"Recently, that young master of the Qin family has rarely come out to play. Before, he stayed in Ode to Joy for at least half the time every month," Yuan Wang Lingguan said indifferently.

"Really rich," Zhang Fan couldn't help but say.

Although he hadn't been there, ordinary people would have to pay 498 to pinch their feet once, not to mention that kind of place. Thinking about it, you know it's a place to spend money.

"I think it's eight out of ten that Li Kongxing's death scared him," Yuan Wang Lingguan sneered.

According to what he knew, this young master of the Qin family also participated in many of Li Kongxing's dirty deeds, which is not a secret on the road.

"But recently, he might go," Yuan Wang Lingguan changed the subject.

"Why?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Because Ode to Joy has a new batch of goods recently, this young master of the Qin family is a VIP there, and he must have been notified," Yuan Wang Lingguan curled his lips and smiled.

"Understood," Zhang Fan nodded, stood up, and was about to say goodbye.

"Brother Yuan, let's go first."

"Come and play often when you have time," Yuan Wang Lingguan waved his hand, but didn't get up to see them off.

He watched Zhang Fan and Fang Changle walk out of the room, spat out a big smoke ring, which opened in front of him, covering his face.

"Zhang family's people, extraordinary soul, killing you until there is no road to heaven, no door to earth..."

"Hehe, there is excitement to watch."

Smoke filled the air, and a strange laughter dissolved eerily within the room.
