Chapter 99 I'm Going To Kill
Chapter 99 I'm Going To Kill
The bloody man was the soul of Tian Huaiyi. He bowed to thank his master and said that he had fulfilled his last wish after failing to save Shen Yusheng. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he was pulled by the power of the underworld and dragged towards the underworld.
"Huai Yi!"
Fu Leisheng screamed and stood up suddenly. He looked around and saw that there was no cold wind and no bloody Tian Huaiyi. He thought that he had fallen asleep while reading.
After all, the Master's book is very boring.
"What you think about during the day, you will dream about at night. I am always worried that Huaiyi will betray Shen Yusheng for a high position and generous salary."
He secretly laughed at himself, saying that when Tian Huaiyi was his student, he was the most mischievous student, which gave him the most headaches. He didn't study well in school and always liked to play with the hair of the girl in front of him, which made the girl cry.
He called the parents and beat Tian Huaiyi up.
He didn't practice magic well, he was half-hearted and half-hearted.
But he is very smart and can learn things very quickly. Once he has learned something, he finds it difficult to forget it and can apply it to other situations.
Later, Tian Huaiyi passed the examination and was given a divine fetus by God. Because it was a third-rank Doukuai divine fetus, it was considered a very remarkable divine fetus in the county. He was worried that someone would come to take it away, so he guarded Tian Huaiyi day and night.
At that time, Chen Shi's divine fetus had been dug out by someone, causing a lot of trouble. Fu Leisheng was also worried, and sure enough, he encountered several groups of people who came to snatch the divine fetus.
He went through a lot of trouble to force the invaders to retreat and save Tian Huaiyi. Because of this incident, the relationship between teacher and student was very good, as close as father and son.
Later, Tian Huaiyi passed the imperial examination and went to another place. Then I heard that he went to the garrison and served in the army for many years. When he came back, he had changed from a naughty boy to a calm official.
The change was so great that he couldn't help but marvel at it.
What he was most worried about was that Tian Huaiyi would enter the big dye vat of officialdom and be stained to such an extent that he could not even recognize him. Therefore, after Shen Yusheng obtained the Wenchang divine fetus this time, he gave many instructions, fearing that Tian Huaiyi would no longer be the righteous young man.
"I've been thinking too much." He breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he saw Chen Shi holding out his hand to protect the lamp, and the black dog outside the door was still barking, and he was stunned.
He clearly remembered that it was Chen Shi who dozed off while he was reading, so why did he become the one who fell asleep while Chen Shi was awake?
"Mr. Fu, you just fell asleep."
Chen Shi's voice was a little low, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Senior Brother Tian came here and told you in a dream. I saw that he was covered in blood, so I didn't stop him. Mr. Fu, the county government...may have had an accident."
Fu Leisheng's head buzzed, his body trembled, and he hurriedly held on to the desk with both hands. He calmed himself down and wanted to speak, but as soon as the words reached his throat, two lines of hot tears rolled down.
He raised his hand to wipe his tears, but his tears kept coming.
He thought he was very strong. He had been studying Confucius' teachings for so many years and his faith in the Tao had long been as solid as a rock. He thought he could definitely hold it in, but he just couldn't.
The tears just couldn't help but flow out.
"I……"
He choked and supported his body with clenched fists, but he still couldn't stop the tears from his eyes.
"Chen Shi, let me be alone for a while..." he said with difficulty.
Chen Shi stood up silently, walked out of the lecture hall, and looked back, only to see Fu Leisheng lying on the table, his body twitching constantly.
"Huai Yi, if you can't beat me, just run away! Didn't I teach you that?"
He burst into tears, and while crying he scolded Tian Huaiyi for being inflexible.
"You left Shen Yusheng and ran away! They only want Shen Yusheng, not your life. You are an official appointed by the court, the chief examiner of Xinxiang County. They will not take your life unless it is absolutely necessary!"
"Run! Shen Yusheng is my student, and you are also my student! Why don't you run? You are so stubborn!"
……
Chen Shi sat next to Hei Guo, hugged the big dog, and looked at the night sky of the county town.
The moon is bright in the sky, and everything is clear.
"Who said there is no evil spirit in the county? It's all blame. Evil spirits live in people's hearts." He whispered.
After an unknown amount of time, Fu Leisheng walked out of the lecture hall. His eyes were red and his eye bags were swollen. He was holding an oil lamp in his hand. His voice was a little hoarse as he said softly, "Chen Shi, go to bed early. The results will be announced tomorrow."
Chen Shi responded and looked at him without moving.
Fu Leisheng walked out with a lantern in his hand. When he passed the bamboo forest, he broke off a piece of bamboo pole, used it as a walking stick, and walked out.
Chen Shi followed him, and the black pot followed Chen Shi.
Fu Leisheng stopped and said, "Chen Shi, go back. There is nothing for you to do here."
Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I stayed alone in the academy, worried that someone would kill me and take the divine fetus."
Fu Leisheng said nothing more and continued walking forward.
Chen Shi and Hei Guo followed him and soon arrived at the county government office.
The gate of the county government office was open and it was pitch black inside. Fu Leisheng walked into the government office holding a lamp on a bamboo pole.
There was silence inside.
Chen Shi suddenly felt something sticky under his feet. He lifted his feet and saw blood all over them.
He looked at the ground and saw a pool of blood.
He didn't say anything because he had already seen Tian Huaiyi's body, lying in a pool of blood.
Fu Leisheng put the lamp aside and raised his hand, which was shaking uncontrollably, as he wanted to touch the face of his student.
Tian Huaiyi's face was pale, his eyes were wide open, and his pupils were tilted to one side.
Fu Lei clenched his fists tightly and looked in the direction he was looking. Shen Yusheng was sitting on a chair not far away, facing them with his eyes wide open and full of fear.
Fu Leisheng stood up and walked to the childish boy. He did not feel any signs of life in this student.
He touched the back of Shen Yusheng's head and found that his skull had been opened.
His hands were covered in blood.
The corners of Fu Leisheng's mouth twitched, as if he was about to cry, but he forced himself to hold it back. He used a clean hand to close Shen Yusheng's eyes.
He turned around and checked the wounds on Tian Huaiyi's body.
Corpses can't speak, but they can leave behind a lot of useful information.
What magic the opponent used, what realm the opponent was in, what kind of golden elixir the opponent had, and even the opponent's Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit, will all leave clues on the corpse.
Chen Shi was looking at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner enshrined in the county government office.
The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is a magic weapon. The souls it contains are often the souls of cultivators. Only the souls of those who have committed capital crimes are qualified to enter the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.
This treasure is extremely powerful. It can guard a city and prevent evil spirits from getting close. It can also resist powerful enemies, allowing the county magistrate to fight against masters in the realm of transformation!
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner is still on the altar at this moment, without any fluctuation of its power.
It seemed that Tian Huaiyi died at the hands of the opponent before he could use the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Chen Shi frowned slightly. Tian Huaiyi's strength was definitely not weak. He had been in the army for many years. In addition, he was in a dangerous place like a frontier garrison. His actual combat experience must be amazing. It was impossible for him to die in the hands of the other party without even having the chance to use the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!
Even if the opponent has cultivated his primordial spirit, he can activate the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to fight him!
"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was used once."
Fu Leisheng's voice came, "But the user is not Huaiyi."
Chen Shi was slightly startled and came to Tian Huaiyi's body. The wounds on Tian Huaiyi's body were not ordinary wounds, but bruises. The blood in the wounds was coagulated and it was cold to the touch, not like a person who had just died.
Chen Shi thought of the green ghost hand on his chest, and his heart moved slightly: "This is the wound caused by the evil spirit!"
"It was the injury caused by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner."
Fu Leisheng's eyes fell on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and said, "The resentful spirits and evil spirits in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner were originally very powerful, and they have become even more powerful after being sacrificed for a long time. But Huaiyi didn't have time to sacrifice this treasure, and it was activated by the other party."
Chen Shi was stunned. Was he being urged by the other party?
Tian Huaiyi was holding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Why could the Ten Thousand Souls Banner be activated by the other party?
Fu Leisheng did not answer, but looked towards the darkness outside, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "The county government office should have been guarded by yamen runners all the time, but the yamen runners on duty are not here, and there was a fight in the yamen, but no yamen runners came to check." The only people who can mobilize the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and at the same time prevent the yamen runners from acting rashly are the county magistrate and the county magistrate.
However, the Xinxiang County magistrate was already dead, and the County Magistrate Zheng Shiyun was far less powerful than Tian Huaiyi, so it was impossible for him to kill Tian Huaiyi so easily.
There are also many masters in Xinxiang County, and there may be some who have reached the level of God Transformation. However, Tian Huaiyi is the chief examiner of the county examination in Xinxiang County. Although his position is not high, he is an official appointed by the imperial court. The masters in the county definitely dare not risk the imperial court’s extermination of their entire clan and kill him.
“So, it can only be an outsider.”
Chen Shi said, "Among the foreign visitors in recent days, the most powerful one is probably the Li family from Quanzhou. Governor Li Xiaozheng passed through Xinxiang County."
Fu Leisheng's eyes twitched, he picked up the lamp, turned around and walked out, saying, "Governor Li had already rushed to the provincial capital yesterday to take up his post, and he is not in Xinxiang County. Chen Shi, you don't need to ask about this matter."
Chen Shi didn't say anything and just followed him.
Fu Leisheng knocked on the door of the coffin shop, walked in, and said to the shopkeeper: "Two coffins, of good quality."
The coffin shop owner was surprised and quickly invited him in, saying, "Mr. Fu, what happened?"
"nothing."
Fu Leisheng didn't say much, and said, "Add one more coffin, three coffins. How much?"
"It's made of cypress wood. Six taels of silver per piece."
Fu Leisheng paid the money without bargaining and said, "Ask a few of the men to follow me and take the two coffins to the county government office. There are two bodies in the government office. Ask the men to bury them. The other one will stay in the store for now."
The owner of the coffin shop was shocked. In the past, Fu Leisheng would definitely bargain and haggle over the price, even for a penny. But today, he didn't bargain.
"When a person dies, all things come to an end. Did Mr. Fu prepare this coffin for himself?"
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, then quietly instructed his clerk, "Go to the county government office to collect Mr. Fu's body. Just collect it and don't ask anything else. Also, be careful in the next few days. If you hear any unfortunate news about Mr. Fu, let me know. We must keep our word in business. If he dies, use this coffin to bury him."
The shop assistant said yes.
Chen Shi followed Fu Leisheng and saw him busying around, burying Tian Huaiyi and Shen Yusheng in the coffin.
Before I knew it, it was already dawn.
The two men did not sleep all night and followed the shop assistant's wooden cart to deliver the two coffins to Wencai Academy for temporary storage.
What was strange was that even though such a big thing happened in the county government office, they worked there all night and still no bailiff came to inquire about it.
"Chen Shi, today is the day when the results are announced. You and your classmates can go and check the results. I haven't slept all night, so I have to go home and rest."
Fu Leisheng said, "As for my affairs, you don't need to ask about them. When Shao Jing asked me to help you, he actually paid me a sum of money, but I also received a sum of money from you. You don't owe the academy anything."
Chen Shi said: "If Mr. Fu has anything to do, just come to the academy and let me know."
Fu Leisheng nodded slightly, walked out of the academy and went back home.
His house was indeed as Hu Feifei said, very luxurious. It was built on the bank of Qingqu River, with the dock right outside the door. The yard was more than an acre in size, with a main building in the east and west wings, and a small pond. A rockery garden was laid around the pond, with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum planted.
Although it is a small place, it looks exquisite and graceful everywhere.
His wife is a good housekeeper who keeps the house very tidy. His two children are also very good and have started their own families, so he doesn't have to worry about them.
His wife had already prepared breakfast. When she saw him coming back, she asked, "Did anything happen last night?"
"fine."
Fu Leisheng drank his porridge while saying, "Xiu Rong, thank you for following me all these years."
His wife sat beside him, watching him eat, and said with a smile: "How can it be hard? I am only busy at home, you are the one who is hard at work outside."
Fu Leisheng said, "Mingzhi and Zhiyuan are already married. Although they are not very successful, they can at least support themselves. You haven't been back to your hometown for a long time. Why don't you go back and burn some paper money for my parents and my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I had a dream last night that the old people said they had no money to spend down there."
The wife hesitated and asked, "What happened?"
"No."
Fu Lei ate a mouthful of bacon and said, "The countryside is not peaceful. You can ask Mingzhi and Zhiyuan to go with you, and take their wives and children with you. Just think of it as going back to the countryside for a few days to relax."
"What about you?"
"I won't go. I have other things to do in the city."
The wife burst into tears and asked, "Something happened? Do you have to stay?"
Fu Leisheng was silent for a moment, then said, "I have to stay. You guys go, pack up, and leave today, don't delay any longer. I'm going to sleep, don't let Mingzhi and Zhiyuan come to bother me. After tomorrow, if I'm still alive, I'll go find you."
The wife wiped her tears while packing her things.
Fu Leisheng ate and drank his fill and fell into a deep sleep.
Many students have come to Wencai Academy. They exclaimed in surprise at the two coffins parked in the academy and made various guesses, not knowing what had happened.
Hu Feifei asked Chen Shi, but Chen Shi didn't say anything.
At noon, the government office announced the results of the exam. Students flocked to the county government office to see the list.
"Brother Chen, you won! First in Xinxiang County!"
Hu Feifei was inexplicably excited and said to Chen Shi, "I never thought you could get into high school with such a good literary talent! Hey, that's strange, why is Shen Yusheng's name not on the list?"
She looked up and down the list but did not find Shen Yusheng's name. Logically speaking, Shen Yusheng should have been at the top of the list since he obtained the divine fetus without the need for a divine sacrifice. But for some reason, she looked through the list several times but did not find Shen Yusheng.
Not only was Shen Yusheng's name not mentioned, but there was no news of the death of the chief examiner, Tian Huaiyi. The death of the chief examiner was terrifyingly silent.
Chen Shi said silently in his heart: "This noble lady is indeed very powerful. She can cover the sky with one hand in Xinxiang County."
The day after the results are announced, there will be a grand ceremony to commemorate the descent of God.
The God's Descent Festival is held every three years and is very lively. People in the county treat this festival as a festival, and lights and decorations are hung everywhere. Shop owners also take the opportunity to shout and announce price cuts to attract customers.
Chen Shi, Hu Feifei and several students from Wencai Academy put on scholar's clothes, wore red scarves with ribbons on their heads and green belts around their waists.
With a smile on his face, Fu Leisheng personally straightened their clothes, hung a big red silk flower on Chen Shi's chest, and sent them to the Confucian Temple.
The Confucian Temple had already been decorated, and the statues of Confucius and Wenchang were draped in red robes. The scholars had not yet arrived, but the smell of incense was like green smoke, rising up.
Some people had already prepared chickens and ducks, and brought cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock. These were living sacrifices and gifts to the true God. There were even more fruits such as melons, pears, peaches, etc., which were packed in flower baskets, one basket after another.
There were incense sticks on both sides of the road, some of which were as thick as an arm and more than a person tall, and had already been lit. Several children were blowing the incense with their cheeks puffed out and lighting firecrackers, which were crackling.
There were drums and gongs everywhere, and the atmosphere was full of joy. People kept congratulating Fu Leisheng, and some even reached out to touch the big red flower on Chen Shi's chest to share in the joy.
Chen Shi ranked first in the Xinxiang County examination, so it was naturally very grand and he was at the forefront of the other scholars.
Hu Feifei followed behind him, also very proud, and laughed softly: "This time I became a scholar and obtained the divine fetus. If I take the imperial examination again, I will be able to see a mature scholar. The long-cherished wish of us female foxes will be fulfilled! Hehe..."
Chen Shi looked around and suddenly saw Fu Leisheng turn around and squeeze out of the crowd.
His heart skipped a beat. He looked at the people busy at the altar, then raised his head to look at the two big suns in the sky. For the past two years, regaining the recognition of the true God and being granted a divine fetus has been his obsession.
He hesitated for a moment. Now that he had ranked first in the Xinxiang County exam, it was time to fulfill his obsession.
If you miss it, you don’t know when you will have such an opportunity again!
He passed the imperial examination and was blessed with a divine fetus. He returned home to bring honor to his family, and old lady Wuzhu also looked up to him.
If he committed a crime, he might be considered a bandit. I'm afraid the ducks from Yuzhu's family would spit at him before leaving!
Chen Shi gritted his teeth, suddenly took off the big red flower on his chest, stuffed it into Hu Feifei's arms, pushed through the crowd with both hands, and walked out.
Hu Feifei was stunned and quickly said, "Chen Shi, Chen Shi! Where are you going? You are the best in Xinxiang and you will be on stage soon! Do you still want this divine fetus?"
Chen Shi disappeared in the crowd, and a voice came: "You stay here, I'm going to kill people!"
He looks like a tiger, with fierce eyes.
The body is upright and the shadow is straight, but the heart is murderous and arsonistic!
