Chapter 446 General
Different from the layout of the front yard and the middle yard, the back yard is mainly composed of bedrooms of different sizes.

There are three relatively large master bedrooms, and the rest are relatively small secondary bedrooms, as many as twenty or thirty.

In addition, there is a pool with a rockery beside it and green trees next to the rockery, which makes the layout quite comfortable.

Su Ming followed Qing Yin in, and after entering, he could no longer see its shadow.

The cold wind raged, filling the entire backyard, but the color was lighter than the front yard and the middle yard. In other words, there were fewer cold winds here and their density was lower.

Wang shared Su Ming’s perspective and was also wondering where the blue seal had gone, and how he would find it if it were him.

If he were asked to come, all he could do was search room by room.

Look around while searching to see if there are any clues here about Qingyin.

As for where to start looking, it is of course the master bedroom.

It is quite reasonable for something as precious as the blue seal to appear in the master bedroom.

Su Ming did as he thought. He cut through the cold wind and came to the master bedroom in the middle.

I pushed open the door of the room and walked in, and the door closed by itself.

Snapped–

Several candles were lit one by one, illuminating the entire room.

A mahogany double bed with an exquisite snake pattern carved on the headboard and the sheets and quilt covers also have patterns of green snakes and white snakes painted on them.

On the small table, there were bamboo slips, black pens, carving knives and other tools. There were also calligraphy and paintings on the wall. All together, it made it look more like a place for civil servants.

Su Ming walked to the small table, sat down, picked up a scroll of bamboo slips and began to read it.

The bamboo slips recorded recent events, including the elite soldiers from Qingcheng who went to various places to suppress ghosts and monsters.

“On September 3rd of the 33rd year, I led my elite troops to Qingyun Village to deal with the ghost. It was said that it was a bamboo monster that had turned into a spirit. After it turned into a spirit, it began to attack the villagers. Later, I found out that it was a bamboo worm that had turned into a spirit and used the green bamboo to behave like a demon… I cut the bamboo with an axe and burned it with fire to kill it.”

“On September 12, the 33rd year, a new long sword was cast at a cost of 1,800 coins.”

“On September 16, the 33rd year, a new round shield was minted at a cost of 2,400 coins.”

“On September 25, the 33rd year, a pair of blue boots, costing eight hundred coins.”

……

“My wife told me that the government’s expenditure this month exceeded the budget. We can’t make new weapons because the old ones are not broken. My wife is right. We can’t do this again in the future.”

……

“On October 3, the 33rd year, the two-handed iron hammer was accidentally damaged. A new one was cast for it. The cost was 4,000 coins, 90% off for 3,900 coins.”

“On October 10, the 33rd year, the halberd was accidentally damaged, so a new one was cast. The cost was 5,000 coins, 90% off for 4,500 coins.”

……

“My wife told me that the government has more expenses this month, so she told me not to break weapons on purpose. If I want to buy new ones, I can just buy them. I can sell the old ones at a discount and get some money back. If they are broken, I can only sell them as scrap metal, which is a big loss. My wife is absolutely right!”

……

Su Ming flipped through two pages, and Wang was reading with great interest, wanting to read on.

However, he simply put away this volume and picked up another one. After taking a look, he found that it was not what he wanted, so he switched to the next one, the next one, and the next one.

Finally, here comes the latest volume.

“On May 6th of the 44th year, the lives of all the living people in the city will be entrusted to the bodies of the Green Snake and the White Snake. As long as we believe in the Green Snake, those ghosts will not harm the living. We no longer have to take action ourselves and risk death to kill the ghosts. It sounds like a win-win situation, but what is the price?”

The information density of the middle content is very high. Compared with the previous bamboo scrolls, the information density of this scroll is very high, and every page is engraved with words.

According to Wang’s description, Qingcheng began to change, the influence of the Green Snake became deeper and deeper, and its reputation in Qingcheng became higher and higher. As long as one began to practice the power of the Green Snake, the efficiency of becoming stronger would be several times that of previous practice methods.

But I always feel uneasy when using the power of others.

As long as the green snake stands on their side, everything will be fine.

But if one day, any conflict arises between them, how will they be able to fight back?

Unfortunately, the Green Snake and the White Snake were too powerful, and there was a group of monks who were capable of dealing with them.

However, in the middle, they all left Qingcheng because of some unknown reasons.

The most basic logic of things still has to be expressed through fists.

Even those who resisted the Green Snake gradually accepted it. Even the backbone of the boycotting faction, the general, began to cultivate the power of the Green Snake due to pressure from all sides.

By the end, ten years had passed: “On March 3rd of the fifty-second year, something happened to the Green Snake. There was basically no sign. When I learned about this, I knew that something was wrong. I didn’t know if Qingcheng and Qingshan could survive this disaster. People still have to rely on themselves!”

When he got to the end.

Outside, the cold wind was gusting wildly, enveloping the backyard and him.

The incident happened so suddenly that Wang was frightened and shocked.

His channel to observe the outside world was also completely cut off, which made him even more panicked: “Boss, are you okay? Boss?”

Su Ming’s voice came over: “Don’t shout, I’m fine. I’ll get the second blue seal soon.”

A vortex appeared in the black wind, isolating Su Ming from the surrounding dark wind.

Then, a tall, blurry figure took shape inside, holding a long knife in his hand and slashing towards him.

The Grim Reaper’s scythe also appeared in Su Ming’s hand, and he rushed forward and collided with the opponent.

A tremendous force was transmitted to his body from above, making his steps unsteady and he was about to fall to the ground.

The opponent’s strength is quite powerful, having reached the late stage of the extraordinary level, which is much stronger than him. Moreover, he is the kind of extraordinary strong man who is good at frontal combat.

However, the opponent still held back and did not use his full strength, otherwise, he would be in a worse situation than he is now.

Su Ming barely held on, and after enduring six moves from the opponent, the tall figure stopped his attack and said in a deep voice: “In terms of strength, it can only be said to be barely adequate, but you are the first person who can come here in decades.”

“Tell me, should I believe you?” The figure formed by the cold wind swayed, as if thinking, and then asked: “You also have the power of the green snake in your body, and the purity is quite high. It can be seen that you are also a loyal believer of the green snake?”

Su Ming shook his head and firmly denied: “I am not a believer in it. I am a pragmatist. The reason why I have the power of the green snake is just because it is useful and can make me stronger.”

This sentence aroused the interest of the human shadow: “Oh… a pragmatist… That’s an interesting statement. So, I am also a pragmatist. Unfortunately, once I use this thing, I have no choice!”
