Chapter 91: Confucianism
"It's Chen Shi!"

Fu Leisheng was extremely surprised. When Shao Jing from Juxian Tower introduced Chen Shi to him, he did not see Chen Shi's cultivation level. He just thought that he was an ordinary teenager who had some money at home and had not been to school for many days, so he wanted to become a scholar through Wencai Academy.

This kind of thing was common in the county, so he got ten taels of silver from Chen Shi.

What is this country boy doing now?
Kill the county magistrate’s wife!

The county magistrate's wife is the fourth kind of evil spirit. She is an evil spirit transformed by a demon cultivator who absorbed the moonlight. She can practice like human cultivators, use magic, and is an intelligent evil spirit!
"What kind of cultivation is he?"

Fu Leisheng's eyes fell on the shrine behind Chen Shi, and he was confused and puzzled. There was no divine fetus in the shrine. This was clearly the shrine realm. How could it have such amazing qi and blood, burst out such amazing power, and make thundering sounds?

The thunder sound just now was even comparable to the thunder talisman of palm thunder, and its power burst out, causing a master like him to raise a bamboo pole for defense. Is this the power that a cultivator at the shrine level can burst out?

"He is definitely not in the Shrine Realm. No one in the Shrine Realm possesses such power!"

Fu Leisheng closed his eyes, as if he saw Chen Shi's qi and blood accumulating in his body, forming a boundless sphere.

The ball was moving along his arms, through his heart and lungs, and back to his dantian.

There was a sea of ​​fire in Chen Shi’s dantian, with raging blood and energy condensing to form a strange sight of a huge sun in the fire.

Planting golden lotus in the fire!
Fu Leisheng opened his eyes and the abnormal feeling disappeared.

"Golden elixir, he has refined the golden elixir!"

He was extremely shocked that a child of eleven or twelve years old could actually refine the golden elixir!
It’s just that Chen Shi’s golden elixir is obviously in his body, unlike other people who keep the golden elixir in the mouth of the divine fetus to be nurtured. It’s a bit strange.

But it is also for this reason that Chen Shi’s strength is so terrifying that he can fight evil spirits like the county magistrate’s wife in close combat.

"His cultivation is so high, why does he need to take the exam to become a scholar? Wait, why is there no divine fetus in his shrine? He is missing a realm!"

Fu Leisheng's mind was in a mess.

How can one cultivate the golden elixir without a divine fetus?

How to nurture the golden elixir without the divine fetus?

Why is there an illusion of lotus planted in the Dantian in the sea of ​​fire, which can warm the golden elixir?

He was thinking when suddenly a dog barked in the courtyard of the county government office. Chen Shi dodged and Fu Leisheng walked into the backyard. He shot out the bamboo pole in his hand and pierced the head of the county magistrate's wife.

But then he saw the tall body of the county magistrate's wife, which was larger than he expected.

But the evil spirit's heart was pierced, its arms were broken, and it was stabbed in the neck, lower abdomen, back and other places. The back of its long body was cut into dozens of pieces by the sword energy. It was deader than dead!
It would be a waste of time to fire that shot myself.

"This kind of sword mark should be the mark left by the Ziwu Xie-Slaying Sword."

Fu Leisheng checked the sword marks and murmured, "Is the Ziwu Xie-Slaying Sword so powerful?"

Although the Ziwu Evil-Slaying Sword is the most powerful spell in the Divine Embryo Realm, but at the Golden Core Realm, the power of this sword energy is not as strong as that of the Golden Core. Therefore, Golden Core Realm cultivators often like to use the Golden Core to fight the enemy.

However, the sword energy that killed the county magistrate's wife displayed a power that exceeded the normal perception of sword energy power!

What's more, what shocked him even more was that each of these sword energies of Chen Shi landed accurately at the joints of the county magistrate's wife's body. The sword energy cut into the weakest parts of her joints and split her open.

The so-called butchering of an ox can only go this far.

Fu Leisheng looked away, horrified, but saw that the backyard of the county government office was smelly and filthy, the rockery had collapsed and shattered into pieces, and half of the house was missing. It should be the terrible destructive power left by the evil inner elixir of the county magistrate's wife.

The wall on the opposite side, however, showed signs of corrosion and collapse, with the bricks and tiles seemingly melting into green water and emitting an unpleasant odor.

This should be the damage caused by the county magistrate's wife's inner elixir hitting the wall.

"If this kind of demon pill hits a person..."

He shuddered.

The golden elixir is boundless and is formed by the condensation of essence, energy, blood, and spirit. It has a shape but no substance. It cannot be cut by a knife or broken by an axe. It cannot be dispersed by magic or taken away by treasures. Anything can pass through the golden elixir without hurting it in the slightest. It is extremely difficult to deal with.

But at the same time, the golden elixir possesses extremely powerful strength and incredible abilities. Different golden elixirs can cast different spells.

The evil golden elixir is more difficult to deal with and its power is more sinister. Fu Leisheng felt it was difficult to deal with when he saw the destructive power of the county magistrate's wife's golden elixir. If it were him, it would not be so easy to kill the county magistrate's wife. As long as the golden elixir appeared, his magic would be contaminated, the talisman would not be able to exert its power, and the treasures would be infected by evil spirits and lose their power.

However, Chen Shi actually beat the county magistrate's wife to death in a head-on confrontation!

"What is the origin of this Chen Shi? Why was he able to get rid of the county magistrate's wife in such a short time...who is that body over there?"

His eyes fell on the body of County Magistrate Geng in the corner again, and he was shocked: "He also killed County Magistrate Geng!"

Geng Chun was a county magistrate appointed by the imperial court. His cultivation strength was certainly extraordinary, but he died at the hands of Chen Shi!

"After killing two Jindan masters, is Chen Shi really only eleven or twelve years old, or does he look young? What is his purpose in taking the exam for a scholar?"

The bailiffs from the county government were rushing over here. They must have heard the noise and came to check it out.

Fu Leisheng left quietly and followed the direction Chen Shi left.

Chen Shi followed Hei Guo's cry and came to the lobby of the county government office. There was a bright mirror hanging high here, and it was the place where criminals were interrogated. When he came here, he felt a sense of oppression and panic. The crimes he had committed before unfolded like a scroll, appearing in his mind, vividly.

Chen Shi was sweating profusely and almost knelt on the ground to confess all the crimes he had committed in the past two years.

"This county government has such a great layout!"

He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and looked at the layout of the county government.

In addition to the county magistrate's desk and chair, there were two rows of interrogation sticks, punishment sticks and flogging sticks, as well as some weapons such as embroidered spring swords. These things were all branded with runes and outlined with cinnabar. Because they were used all year round, they carried a solemn and murderous aura.

There is also a big drum outside the door, with talismans painted on the drum surface. The breath of those who beat the drum to seek justice lingers in it, giving it a sense of oppression.

If so many things were taken out individually, Chen Shi would not feel panic, but when there were too many of them and they were put together, the criminal could not help but confess.

The black pot seemed to be unaffected and was shouting at the altar on one side of the lobby. Chen Shi looked and saw the Ten Thousand Souls Banner on the altar with incense still burning.

This treasure had a great attraction to him, as if it was an extremely delicious delicacy, tempting him to eat the wronged souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. "If I were you, I would never steal the Ten Thousand Souls Banner."

When Fu Leisheng's voice came, Chen Shi paused as he stretched out his hand towards the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. He turned around and asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Mr. Fu?"

Fu Leisheng smiled and said, "The Ten Thousand Souls Banner is a magic weapon to guard Xinxiang County. It is made by gathering the souls of those who were beheaded throughout the ages. Since ancient times, countless vicious people have died in the East Market, and their souls have been collected in this banner. Therefore, the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is extremely great. If the lord of a county raises this banner when facing the enemy, ordinary strong men who have transformed into spirits and refined spirits will not be their opponents. This treasure is so important. If you take it away, you will have no place to stand in the entire Xiniu New Continent."

Chen Shi withdrew his hand and looked at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner reluctantly.

He was not greedy for the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but he had an idea in his heart and wanted to get it urgently. But after Fu Leisheng said this, he gave up the idea.

Seeing him withdraw his hand, Fu Leisheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Geng County Magistrate is a new magistrate and has not had time to sacrifice and refine this treasure. But during the vacancy of the county magistrate, the county magistrate is in charge of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. The county magistrate will be here soon, so we should leave quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Chen Shi followed him, and the two of them and the dog quickly left the county government office.

Chen Shi glanced at Fu Leisheng and felt quite fond of this private school teacher.

Fu Leisheng actually broke into the county government office for the lives of these students. He turned back, probably intending to get rid of the county magistrate and his wife. He was not as bad as Hu Feifei said.

"Mr. Fu is just a scholar, how can he have such strength?" Chen Shi wondered.

Fu Leisheng sighed: "Two county magistrates died in one month. I wonder how long the next county magistrate appointed by the court can last. Xinxiang County is really an ominous place for county magistrates."

Chen Shi thought about it and felt that the deaths of these two county magistrates seemed to be related to him.

The previous County Magistrate Zhao was elected because of the downfall of the Zhao family, and the reason for the downfall of the Zhao family was that his grandfather had eliminated Governor Zhao.

This time, the magistrate of Geng County simply killed himself.

"Mr. Fu, the court has appointed an evildoer as the county magistrate. Has the government become so corrupt?" Chen Shi asked.

Fu Leisheng glanced at him and said, "If you can say this, you will be a guest of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in the future, and you will be beheaded sooner or later."

Having said that, he sighed and said, "The government is corrupt? Hehe, it's more than that. This is clearly the corruption of state affairs!"

Chen Shi glanced at him and felt that he had the potential to be beheaded together with him.

When they returned to Wencai Academy, they saw Hu Feifei bullying a big white goose, grabbing its neck and pulling its feathers. There were also several big white geese standing dejectedly in the corner, probably having just been beaten.

"Fei Fei holds a grudge!" Chen Shi felt awe in his heart.

He and other students also beat up Hu Feifei, fearing that this vixen would take revenge on him.

Fu Leisheng waited until the vixen had beaten them before he sacrificed his golden elixir. The golden elixir shone brightly, and the talismans on the white geese were broken, and they all returned to normal.

After all, they were still children. They were so scared that they hugged each other and cried. Some of them even bowed to Fu Leisheng to thank him.

Fu Leisheng smiled and said, "We are all cultivators. Why should we cry about such a small matter as turning into a goose? We may encounter more such things in the future."

The students looked pale.

"Don't go home yet. The county magistrate will come over later and ask the yamen runners to take you back."

Fu Leisheng said, "Children from the countryside should stay in the academy overnight. The teacher saved your lives. Tomorrow, ask your family to send a hundred bucks to thank the teacher. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded hurriedly and followed his arrangements.

Sure enough, not long after, a deep male voice was heard outside the academy, saying, "Mr. Fu, Zheng Shiyun is here to visit."

Fu Leisheng smiled and said, "It's County Magistrate Zheng."

He went forward and heard Zheng Shiyun say, "I am incompetent and have been investigating evil spirits that steal children. I didn't expect that the evil spirits would eat the county magistrate and his wife right under my nose, and then transform into the appearance of the county magistrate and his wife, almost harming the children. Fortunately, Mr. Fu killed the evil spirits and eliminated the monsters, so I didn't commit a serious crime. Are the students safe?"

Fu Leisheng smiled and said, "They are all safe. The evil spirit ate the county magistrate and his wife, disguised as County Magistrate Geng, and wanted to reproduce in my Xinxiang, but fortunately, Lord Zheng was very observant and discovered the evil spirit's flaws. We were able to get rid of these two evil spirits and save so many children, all thanks to Lord Zheng. What credit can I have? I just helped Lord Zheng."

Zheng Shiyun smiled and said, "Mr. Fu is very kind. Without Mr. Fu's help, how could I have solved this major case? I will definitely report to the court and ask for credit for you!"

Fu Leisheng said repeatedly: "No, no. I haven't done anything, how dare I take credit? I am so ashamed. Lord Zheng, my Wencai Academy has been in disrepair for a long time. The children are terrified to go to school, fearing that the building will collapse. Can the county allocate some money..."

Zheng Shiyun understood and took out a small bag of silver. He then asked the yamen runner who came with him to take out all the silver and money on him and gave it to Fu Leisheng, saying, "I just killed those two evil spirits and came here in a hurry. I only have these few dozen taels of silver on me. If Mr. Fu thinks it's too little..."

Fu Leisheng quickly accepted the silver and said with a smile, "Not a small amount, not a small amount."

"Then these children..."

"I'd like to trouble Lord Zheng to send them to their respective homes."

Zheng Shiyun was overjoyed and ordered the yamen runners to come up and said, "Beat the gongs and drums and send these children back door to door. Let the whole city know about our yamen's righteous act!"

Everyone agreed and took the frightened children away.

Fu Leisheng was very happy and hid aside to count the money.

Hu Feifei came close to Chen Shi, and Chen Shi suddenly became nervous. Hu Feifei smiled and said, "Brother Chen, I'm not a tigress, what are you afraid of? You should be grateful to me today. If it weren't for me and Mr. Fu, you would have died in the county government office."

Chen Shi looked at Fu Leisheng and whispered, "I don't think Mr. Fu is a greedy person. He risked his life to save the students. His greed is just a disguise."

Hu Feifei chuckled and said, "You were fooled by him! He really saved us, but he was also greedy for money. You haven't been to his house. His house is magnificent, countless times more luxurious than this Wencai Academy!"

Fu Leisheng counted the money, walked over, and said calmly: "Love of money and righteousness are not contradictory. A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. Every penny I earn is earned with a clear conscience."

He handed over a small bag of silver to Chen Shi and said, "This is yours."

He then handed another small bag of silver to Hu Feifei and said, "This is yours. You two have done a good deed tonight, so you should accept it."

Chen Shi was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean, sir?"

Fu Leisheng said: "If you take the gold, it will not harm your behavior. This is the principle taught by the Master."

Chen Shi was somewhat bewildered, thinking, "Doesn't this sentence mean that if you kill an enemy and plunder his body for gold and silver, your moral character will not be damaged? How did Mr. Fu misinterpret this?"
