Chapter 33 Conspiracy
Speaking of Tiebi Weng, the villagers of Huangyang Village were somewhat indignant. Tiebi Weng asked for a place to stay at night, and they were worried that the old man would die outside, so they kindly took him in. However, they did not expect that the old man would use the lives of four children in their village to refine lamp oil for the life-extending lamp!

Seeing that there was some chaos below, the bearded Jinyiwei behind Zhao Yue snorted. The sound was not loud, but he used the power of the divine fetus to make the eardrums of all the villagers buzz.

The slight anger that he had just felt was also shaken away by this snort.

Zhao Yue glanced around and was very satisfied. He asked, "Who will explain?"

No one said anything below.

Chen Shi rescued Liu Fugui and avenged the three children in the village. Although the villagers did not understand the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they could still clearly distinguish between kindness and hatred. Chen Shi had done a favor to the village, so how could they betray him?
"Don't say anything? Be loyal? Country people, you are so naive and cute."

Zhao Yue couldn't help laughing and said leisurely, "You think he has done you a favor, so you don't want to give him up? Foolish. No matter how great the favor is, can it be greater than the law? Foolish people! If you don't tell us who did it, you are all accomplices and will all go to jail!"

His voice suddenly became stern, and he said grimly: "In prison, you will be skinned alive if you don't die!"

Still no one moved below.

Zhao Yue slowly stood up, walked between the kneeling villagers, and came to Liu Fugui. He examined the child and said with a smile, "Little boy, the wounds on your lips, eyes and nose look like they were caused by hooks. Your essence was taken by someone, and they must have used your essence to refine the life-extending lamp oil. You must have suffered a lot, right? Do you remember who saved you?"

Liu Fugui knelt on the ground and dared not move, but said stiffly: "I won't say it!"

Fugui's mother hurriedly pulled the child into her arms, glanced at Zhao Yue in horror, and then quickly looked away.

Zhao Yue immediately understood.

"Everyone, it is one thing that Tiebi Weng used the child to make life-extending lamp oil. He is guilty and should be punished by the law. It is another thing that he was killed by the people you invited. You invited people to kill him and used lynching, which is against the laws of the Ming Dynasty. It is a third thing that my Zhao family avenged Tiebi Weng and the Zhao family's steward. You are country people, you are ignorant and you can't tell the difference between right and wrong."

Zhao Yue stood in the crowd, looked around, raised three fingers, and said, "I will count to three. If no one confesses, don't blame me for torturing you. One!"

He withdrew one finger, and a group of Jinyiwei surrounded the villagers.

"two!"

Zhao Yue withdrew his second finger, but still no one knew who killed Tiebi Weng.

He sighed and retracted his third finger: "Three! Helian Zheng, punish these unruly people!"

Helian Zheng was the bearded Jinyiwei. Just as he was about to give an order, a burly man suddenly stood up from the crowd and blocked Zhao Yue's way. It was Sanwang.

Sanwang opened his arms and shouted loudly: "Don't do it! Do you have any sense of reason? Tiebi Weng from your Zhao family killed three children from our village to make lamp oil. It is your Zhao family that is in the wrong! Since ancient times, killing someone means paying with one's life..."

Helian Zheng raised his three-barreled musket and knocked it on his forehead with a thud, saying angrily, "You are disrespecting your superiors, you are courting death!"

The three-barreled musket was made of fine iron and weighed more than ten pounds, comparable to a sledgehammer. It hit Sanwang on the forehead, and Sanwang suddenly became dazed, with blood all over his head and face. His body shook, but he did not fall.

All the Jinyiwei exclaimed and praised: "Country people are really stubborn. They didn't die this time!"

Helian Zheng saw that his attack had taken Sanwang's life. However, the countryman seemed to be dead but did not fall down, which embarrassed him. He immediately swung his musket and hit him hard again.

"Boom!"

Sanwang's brain burst instantly, his knees went weak, and he fell to the ground.

Zhao Yue took a step back to avoid having the brains splashed on his body and staining his clothes.

He stepped over Sanwang's body and walked out of the crowd. Immediately, the sound of whips and screams were heard from behind.

Zhao Yue didn't look back, but looked at the temple in the ruins in the center of Huangyang Village with a grim gaze.

He represents the laws of the Ming Dynasty and his majesty is inviolable. Even if he breaks into the village to commit crimes, the village god of Huangyang Village dare not resist and can only watch his people being bullied.

After a long time, Helian Zheng and several Jinyiwei came up behind him with blood all over their faces and bodies. They bowed and said, "Sir, there is a woman who can't stand the torture and confessed!"

Zhao Yue put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "No one can kill my Zhao family and get away with it. Who did they hire?"

Helian Zheng said: "A young talisman master named Chen Shi, who lives in Huangpo Village. He has a grandfather who is also a talisman master."

"Little Talisman Master?"

Zhao Yue was very surprised and asked in confusion, "Tiebi Weng and Manager Zhao Ming are both very powerful. How could this little talisman master kill them?"

night.

A gust of cold wind blew, and a bloody figure floated in the wind. It came to the outside of Huangpo Village, but was blocked by the godmother of Huangpo Village waving branches, and could not enter the village.

"I want to see Master Chen Fu! I want to see Master Chen Fu!"

The ghost cried in the wind, begging his godmother to let him in, but the 28-year-old girl on the ancient tree remained unmoved.

"Let him in." Grandpa appeared in the moonlight and said coldly.

The woman on the old tree had a cold look in her eyes and a stern voice: "If he comes in and harms someone, who will be held responsible? I will protect the village and will never allow outsiders to invade!"

"If you don't let him in, you'll dig up the tree roots." Grandpa said lightly.

The woman snorted and stopped resisting.

A gust of cold wind blew, carrying a strong smell of blood, and rushed into the Chen family yard and went straight to Chen Shi's bedroom.

Grandpa let out a light exclamation. He originally thought that the wronged spirit was coming for him, but unexpectedly it was looking for Chen Shi.

Chen Shi was in a dream when he suddenly saw Sanwang from Huangyang Village coming towards him. His hair was disheveled and his face was covered in blood. He cried to him, "My benefactor, please leave quickly! They are coming to kill you! I wanted to stop them, but I couldn't. I can only come to inform you! Please leave quickly——"

Before he could finish his words, suddenly a long tongue flew out from the darkness, wrapped around Sanwang's neck and dragged him into the darkness.

Chen Shi was startled and woke up from his sleep. He looked around and was filled with confusion.

"This dream is so real, as if Sanwang really came here. It's really weird..." He lay down again, unable to fall asleep for a while. Thinking of the thin tongue wrapped around Sanwang's neck, he couldn't help laughing, "As expected, dreams have everything, no logic."

Not long after, he fell asleep again.

Chen Shi woke up early in the morning, washed up, had breakfast, went out to visit his godmother, and asked Zhu Xiucai for advice on ancient classics before heading towards Gangzi Village.

He still had to go to the Tiger Temple today. Although he had changed his true blood, his five internal organs had not yet been fully cultivated, so he could not be considered a holy fetus. Practicing in the Tiger Temple was much faster than practicing at home.

Chen Shi was walking on the road and saw two people wearing bamboo hats fishing on the roadside, one on the left and one on the right, staring at the water intently.

"There are no fish in this water," he kindly reminded.

"What is it to you?" One of the fishermen had a bad temper and said to him harshly.

Chen Shi ignored him and continued walking forward, but he saw someone catching cicadas in the tree, standing on a high branch with a net bag in his hand. There was also someone under the tree looking up, afraid that the person in the tree would fall.

At this time, a fisherman was heard to exclaim joyfully: "Got it!"

Chen Shi turned around to look, and was surprised: "Is there really a fish? Didn't I catch all the fish in this ditch?"

He was very hungry some time ago and was looking for food everywhere. Not only did he catch all the fish in the ditch, he even caught all the loaches.

Chen Shi had just turned his head when his body suddenly tensed up, and then it was as if a heavy object as big as a mountain was pressing down on him, causing his bones to creak!
"bingo!"

He heard the cicada catcher's laughter above his head, and the man standing under the tree also laughed and said, "I got it, too!"

Chen Shi was startled and looked at his body, only to see golden rays of light wrapped around him, as thick as fingers and covered with scales, wrapped around him for more than ten times, binding his hands and feet and making it impossible for him to exert any strength.

When he looked up, he saw the shadow of a golden hill above his head, pressing on the top of his head. It was this golden mountain that made his bones crack!

Behind him, there was a large tortoise-patterned shield, also made of golden light, which covered the back of his head, intending to block his shrine and prevent him from regulating his cultivation.

In front of one of the fishermen, a piece of talisman paper was floating, which was quietly burning. The talisman on it exploded with power, and golden light flew out from the paper, like a golden python dancing.

There is also a burning talisman in front of the cicada catcher on the tree, and the talisman takes the shape of a mountain.

A talisman with a shield pattern painted on it was floating in front of the man under the tree, and it was also burning.

"Spirit snake talisman! Mountain-moving talisman! Sealing talisman!" Chen Shi recognized the three types of talismans.

He had learned these three types of talismans from his grandfather, but they were combat talismans, so his grandfather rarely drew them. The talismans that he and his grandfather usually sold were talismans for warding off evil spirits.

"Is this the kid who killed Tiebi Weng and Manager Zhao?"

Another fisherman dropped his fishing rod, took off his bamboo hat, and walked up to Chen Shi. He looked him up and down and asked in confusion, "I thought he was a superhuman being, but it turned out to be just a kid. Tiebi Weng is also an old hand, how could he die in his hands?"

He couldn't help but shake his head: "The Third Young Master asked us to disguise and ambush him here. He is really too cautious."

Chen Shi was panicking: "My crime has been discovered. They are government officials who want to capture and behead me... Wait a minute, I still have two armor and horse talismans! I can escape!"

Just as he thought of this, the fisherman in front of him fumbled around on his body, found two armor and horse talismans, and put them in his arms.

"Is this kid a talisman master?"

The fisherman was even more puzzled. "Which talisman master doesn't have dozens or even hundreds of talismans on him? But he only has two armor and horse talismans. Is he the real murderer who killed Tiebi Weng? Tiebi Weng is very powerful, not weaker than me. How could he be killed by him?"

The other three were all Jinyiwei of the Zhao family. They all complimented him, saying, "Among the talisman masters, Fu Shanke ranks even higher than Tiebi Weng. If Fu Shanke takes action, he will be easily captured."

Fu Shanke was very pleased to hear this and said with a smile, "I was able to gain a foothold in the Zhao family's Xuanying Mansion because of my ability, not because I am someone like Tiebi Weng who can only flatter others."

He had just said this when he suddenly heard a sound like a mountain torrent pouring down his body. That sound came from inside Chen's body, as if a flood was rushing inside Chen's body.

Fu Shanke's eyes widened. Chen Shi, who was in front of him, grew taller rapidly. The golden spirit snake wrapped around his body was tightened tighter and tighter, and the gaps between the snake scales became wider and wider!

"not good!"

Fu Shanke's face suddenly changed. With a bang, the golden snake formed by the snake talisman was stretched to pieces by Chen Shi and turned into red cinnabar that splashed everywhere.

"He destroyed my Spirit Snake Talisman! With such great strength! Could this guy be a human-shaped evil spirit?"

Fu Shanke remained calm in the face of danger and took a step back. As he took this step, a breeze suddenly emerged from under his feet, lifting his body up and sliding him back more than a meter.

At the same time, the protective talisman flew out from his left sleeve, and the divine power in the talisman burst out!
A talisman also flew out from the sleeve of his right hand and was held in his hand. It was the Hercules Talisman.

He responded calmly. The Jia Ma Talisman was on his feet, the Liu Ding Liu Jia Talisman was on his left sleeve, and the Li Shi Talisman was on his right hand. These were enough to give him the strength to fight in close combat in a short period of time!

At the moment when the power of his various talismans exploded, Chen Shi raised his foot, turned around, and stepped heavily. He was only three feet away from Fu Shanke. While turning around, he swung his right hand backwards and chopped.

The blow was as fast as lightning and hit Fu Shanke's throat.

Fu Shanke's larynx was broken. Chen Shi's palm was like the back of a heavy knife, hitting the fourth bone of his cervical spine, causing it to jump backwards from the cervical vertebrae!

A large bulge suddenly appeared on the back of Fu Shanke's neck, and he immediately lost control of his body. He watched Chen Shi suddenly stop and then crash backwards.

It rushed forward, stopped, and then retreated, as if it had no inertia at all, and was incredibly fast.

"With a mountain of gold on his head, how can he still be so fast?"

Fu Shanke was horrified and his body fell down uncontrollably. More air was exhaling than coming in, and it was obvious that he was dying.

He died faster than Tiebi Weng!
