Chapter 104 There is an evil spirit in your house
The wealthy businessman by the river was doing business for the Li family. He was afraid that Chen Shi would vent his anger on him, so he quickly ordered someone to do it.
Just now, Chen Shi and Fu Lei were so brutal in their killing that there were dozens of corpses. It was terrifying. If I anger them, I would be in trouble too.
"They have offended the Li family to death. These two are really vicious. I wonder how many ways there are to write the word death?"
The rich man shook his head secretly and ordered, "Collect Mr. Zeng's body and send it to the province. Remember, find someone who is eloquent."
Everyone packed up Mr. Zeng and put him in a coffin. Then someone brought an ox cart and took the coffin to the provincial capital.
Xinxiang County is quite far away from the provincial capital of Xinxiang, and the ox carts are slow, so it was the next day when they arrived at the provincial capital.
Li Xiaozheng is the new governor. Now Xinxiang Province is in a state of disrepair and there are still many vacancies. These days, the door of the Li family is almost broken down by people, most of whom are relatives who can always find some relatives in the Li family.
Or maybe there is someone behind him who is hard to offend, so he has no choice but to meet him.
Even the children of the Li family received a lot of benefits from this and were stuffed with a lot of silver, money and jewelry.
So when an ox cart pulling a thin-skinned coffin appeared in front of the Li family's door, the Li family members were stunned and did not come to their senses for a while, and then the manager came to chase them away.
Fortunately, the man who brought the ox cart this time was a sharp-tongued man with good speech skills. In a short time, he explained who was in the coffin and what the whole thing was. That's why he was not beaten to death in the street by the angry Li family members.
"How dare Chen Shi kill Mr. Zeng and bring his body here to disgrace my Li family!"
The Li family members were furious. Many of them jumped on their horses and rushed to Xinxiang County to kill this guy.
However, before they could leave the city, they were stopped. It was the governor who ordered them not to act on their own.
The Li family's children felt extremely aggrieved and angry.
Killing Mr. Zeng would have been fine as there was still room for maneuver. But killing Mr. Zeng and putting him in a coffin and sending it to the provincial capital in public would have been a slap in the face of this ancient family. They really couldn't understand why the governor could still bear it!
The inner courtyard of Li's mansion had been closed, and no one, whether outside guests or people from the inner court, was allowed to see them.
Li Xiaozheng was sitting in the inner courtyard pavilion. Madam Xia Weiyin waved her hand and asked the maid who was preparing to make tea to go down. She personally poured tea for Li Xiaozheng and said, "Master, is this Chen Shi really the Chen Shi who died ten years ago? How can a dead person be resurrected? Not to mention that he has been dead for ten years."
"Yes."
Li Xiaozheng flipped through the documents and said, "Others cannot bring the dead back to life, but Qianyangshan must have a way."
When Xia Weiyin heard the words "Mr. Qianyang", her body trembled slightly.
These four words are like magic.
Qianyang Shanren is a legend in himself.
It was really difficult for her to connect the man from Qianyang Mountain with the butcher from Xijing.
Li Xiaozheng said softly, "Ten years ago, Chen Shi made a stunning debut in the county exam, and ranked first in both the civil and martial arts exams among the fifty provinces. His record of killing evil with the Ziwu Sword has not been broken in ten years. He was infiltrated by the true god and was given an innate Dao fetus, the supreme divine fetus. Ten years later, he was resurrected from the dead."
He picked up the teacup, drank it all, stood up, looked at the rockery not far away, and said quietly: "The record of Ziwu Slaying Evil Sword that had not been broken for ten years was broken by someone ten years later. The person who broke this record was himself. Moreover, he increased the flying distance of the sword energy to more than eighty feet. I am afraid that no one will be able to break this record in the next hundred years, five hundred years, or a thousand years! Such a person, whether he has a congenital Dao fetus or not, should not be underestimated."
Xia Weiyin poured tea for him and asked, "The True God has already granted him a divine fetus. Will he grant it again? Moreover, he did not participate in the great divine descent ceremony at the Confucian Temple this time, so he did not obtain a divine fetus."
Li Xiaozheng pondered, "This is the weird part. From what I heard from your description of his attack, it must have been possible with a golden elixir. This means he has already refined the golden elixir. Without a divine fetus, how could he refine the golden elixir?"
Xia Weiyin also poured herself a cup of tea, put it to her lips and sniffed the tea fragrance, and asked: "Can the golden elixir be transplanted?"
Li Xiaozheng shook his head.
Xia Weiyin said, "That's strange. He is so powerful that he can kill a master in the Jindan realm with a flying bamboo. Even Mr. Zeng died in his hands. Mr. Zeng is not weak!"
Li Xiaozheng turned around and said, "Mr. Zeng has practiced the magical Five Elements Art to cultivate his Nascent Soul. He has already cultivated to the stage of Nascent Soul leaving the body. His cultivation strength is not bad. A Jindan realm wants to kill him..."
He shook his head with a strange look on his face, and said, "When Chen Shi attacked, there was a tiger roar and a tiger claw that appeared out of nowhere, killing Mr. Zeng. This is even more strange. There is another strange thing. The document said that behind Chen Shi's head was not a shrine, but a small temple."
He spread out the document, and on it was the pattern of a small temple behind Chen Shi's head.
Xia Weiyin looked at it carefully. This kind of temple has a very simple structure and is very ordinary. It can be seen everywhere in the countryside.
But why did the shrine become a small temple?
"Temple is where gods live."
Li Xiaozheng asked, "What god lives in his temple?"
His eyes flickered, and he recalled the scene he saw when he left Xinxiang County to take up his new post two days ago.
It was a tiger head as huge as a mountain, floating above Qianyang Mountain. The tiger roared at the mountains with a powerful aura that was frightening.
"Could the owner of Tiger Claw be that tiger?"
His expression was strange, and he did not express his guess. The tiger was too powerful, so powerful that even he felt a little nervous. How could such an almighty evil spirit live in Chen Shi's small temple?
He shook his head, spread out several other documents, and said, "It doesn't matter how long Chen Shi has been dead. What matters is whether Chen Yindu is dead."
These documents are information about Chen Yindu compiled by various spies.
Although the Li family does not have much power in Xinxiang on the surface, they have been operating secretly for a long time, collecting all kinds of information and compiling them into files.
The Li family’s target is the True King’s Tomb, so they naturally attach great importance to the existence of Chen Yindu.
"The mystery of Chen Yindu's death has not yet been resolved. When he was buried, his clothes and hat were buried, but there was no body in the coffin. This phenomenon is disturbing."
Xia Weiyin listened quietly.
The reason why she has been able to remain prosperous in the Li family over the years is not because of her powerful skills, but because she is quiet enough and good at listening.
Li Xiaozheng said: "When he was buried, the people who knocked on the coffin included my Li family's spies. Ten years ago, Chen Yindu caused a big disturbance in Xijing. The five armies, Shenji, and Shenshu, the three major camps guarding Xijing, were crippled, and countless nobles in Xijing were killed and injured. I heard that the cabinet minister at that time was also seriously injured, and the supervisor of the East Factory was crippled and could only sit in a wheelchair. But Chen Yindu was also seriously injured, and then retreated to Qianyang Mountain. It was said that they had a gentleman's agreement between them, Chen Yindu would not dwell on the old things, and Xijing would not cause trouble for the Chen family. In this way, there was peace for ten years."
Xia Weiyin said: "If Chen Yin were dead, then we wouldn't be able to live in peace any longer."
Li Xiaozheng nodded slightly and said, "What's strange is that there is no Chen Yindu in Chen Yindu's coffin. Many people in Xijing may not be able to sleep well. If he is really dead, those big shots will rest easy. If he is not dead, it will be a headache."
He paused and said, "These big shots really want to use me to test whether Chen Yindu is really dead. There must be a lot of eyes staring at this place at this time. Maybe there are even many people in my Li family staring at me, hoping that I will take the initiative to test it."
Xia Weiyin said: "But the master will not take the initiative to test."
"will not."
Li Xiaozheng smiled slightly and said, "This kind of humiliation is nothing. When I had not yet established a firm foothold in the Li family, my half brother scolded me and spit on my face, but I did not move at all. The spit was blown away by the wind, and I never wiped it off. Now it is just a corpse. As long as I am calm enough, the person who can't help it will definitely not be me, but the nobleman of Xijing." Xia Weiyin sighed and said, "The master is a man of great talent and forbearance, but the children we brought with us may not have the same character as the master."
Li Xiaozheng smiled and said, "This requires Madam to restrain them."
Xia Weiyin said, "I'll do my best. What if Chen Yindu is really dead?"
Li Xiaozheng laughed and said, "Then Chen Shi, an orphan, dared to try to shake a tree like an ant, so he deserved to die."
Xinxiang County.
Chen Shi was holding an umbrella. Fu Leisheng stood up and looked at the small temple behind his head in disbelief.
This small temple was beyond his understanding and subverted his cognition!
It was even more subversive than the policy essay written by Chen Shi!
The policy paper merely misinterpreted the Master's words, but this small temple actually overturned the shrine!
Heresy!
magic!
This was the first thought that popped into Fu Leisheng's mind, and then a new thought popped up: "Should I exorcise the demons and sacrifice my life for justice?"
He thought about it and decided that he didn't want to sacrifice his life for justice, so he left with Chen Shi with peace of mind.
Hei Guo was hiding under the eaves and was not wet. When he saw them coming, he hurriedly got up and followed them away.
It started raining. The rain was not heavy at first, just a drizzle, but gradually it became heavier.
The surface of the river was gurgling, and many stone faucets protruded from both sides of the river, spraying water outward into the Qingqu River.
Now the pleasure boat has closed down, and at the pier not far away the boatman and his daughter are mooring their boat, wearing rain hats and straw raincoats, working hard.
"Dad, look! Look!"
The boat girl saw the two people and the dog on the shore, and hurriedly pulled the boatman and pointed to the shore. The boatman looked over and was shocked, saying in amazement: "What a ghost! They are still alive after seeking revenge on the Li family! What a ghost!"
The father and daughter watched the two men and the dog walk away, and the boat girl suddenly shouted, "Dad, boat, boat!"
The pleasure boat was not properly moored and was nearly washed away by the current. The father and daughter worked hard again to finally tie the boat down.
Chen Shi and Fu Leisheng were too tired to notice them, but Hei Guo stopped, looked across the river, and then followed Chen Shi.
Opposite the father and daughter, under the eaves of a row of houses stood a green sheep, standing up and leaning against a storefront along the street to avoid the rain.
Qingyang's hooves were not hooves, but sharp claws. He was holding a pen clumsily in his other hand, and holding a book of white paper, scribbling on it. The picture he drew was of Chen Shi sacrificing the yellow tiger and beating Mr. Zeng to death.
The green sheep couldn't be drawn properly, so he leaned over to look at the bearded man next to him, and saw that the man's drawing was very lifelike.
"Xiao Shi is right. He can indeed activate the mountain king."
The bearded man put down his writing brush, looked worried, and said, "Sacrificing the mountain king's mount to kill the enemy, hehe, how shameless is that? Aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven?"
Qingyang nodded repeatedly, also with a worried look on his face: "If I can sacrifice the mountain king mount today, I will dare to sacrifice the mountain king tomorrow!"
What kind of existence is tiger?
The guardian of Qianyang Mountain, the king and monarch of all living things in Qianyang Mountain, sacrificing the King of Qianyang Mountain to kill the enemy is a hundred times more heinous than sacrificing the big snake Xuanshan or Chen Yindu to kill the enemy!
"The most important thing is, what is the origin of this small temple?"
The bearded man asked, "How can this small, dilapidated temple command the Lord of Qianyang Mountain?"
Qingyang pondered, "This little dilapidated temple was given to Xiaoshi by his godmother Shitou. Who is Shitou's godmother?"
The two evil spirits looked at each other in bewilderment: "Chen Yindu, who is the godmother you found for Xiao Shi?"
They were puzzled, so they rolled up the scroll, grabbed the umbrella in the corner, and left one after another.
"Let's go find Granny Sha! By the way, did you notice that Xiao Shi's black dog has been watching us?"
"I also discovered that we were monitoring Xiao Shi, and it was monitoring us! This guy is becoming less and less like a dog!"
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner in Xinxiang County had long sensed the aura of the two evil spirits, but the eight thousand vengeful spirits in the banner, which had been tempered by thousands of times, were suppressed by the aura of the two evil spirits and could not move.
Only when they left Xinxiang County did the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner recover.
When Chen Shi passed by the Confucian Temple, the rain was getting heavier. The sacrifice in the temple had ended, the gods had descended, and the scholars had already gone home.
He looked at the Confucian Temple, thinking of his obsession with obtaining the divine fetus, and felt a little lost.
But then he put the matter behind him.
"Can the innate Taoist fetus be compared to a big tiger?" he thought to himself.
Although it was raining heavily, Chen Shi still took a wooden cart with Fu Leisheng and traveled to the countryside in the rainy night.
The Li family is powerful and can’t do anything to Chen Shi, so how can they not do anything to Fu Leisheng?
So Fu Leisheng decided to hide in the countryside for a while.
Because it was getting late, he stayed at Chen Shi's house first.
Chen Shi went to the village to borrow some vegetables, meat and eggs. Heiguo put on an apron and fried four dishes for them.
Fu Leisheng stared blankly at the black dog busying around, making a soup and preparing to boil medicine for Chen Shi. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Chen Shi, have you noticed that your dog is a little weird?" He couldn't help but whispered.
The dog who was burning fire beside the stove pricked up his ears, slowly turned his head, and glanced at him resentfully.
Chen Shi sighed and said, "Sir, eat vegetables. That's how dogs from our poor families are."
Fu Lei was suspicious and thought, "Is there a person under this dog's skin? There is definitely something wrong with this dog!"
When he woke up the next day, he saw the black pot that was used to cook breakfast, and he actually thought that it was normal for the dog to do this and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.
"Oops! This dog has influenced my mind!"
Fu Lei was horrified. "There is an evil spirit in Chen Shi's house. It's this dog! It looked at me again... I'm overthinking it. This dog is obviously normal."
