Chapter 112 People Have Their Own Concerns

The interior space of Xuanwu Pavilion is quite large, covering an area of ​​more than ten acres, with pavilions, terraces, and winding corridors. You may even get lost if you enter rashly.

Yan Qing led the way in front, Yan Rong walked side by side with Chen Shi, and behind them were Yan Fang, Yan Shuo and others, surrounding him in the middle.

"These people are no more than ten feet away from me. If I kill them now, can I kill them all and get away safely?" Chen Shi thought to himself.

difficult.

He had only seen Yan Fang's golden elixir, which was already the seventh level of the golden elixir. However, Yan Fang was obviously not the strongest disciple of the Yan family in Lei County.

The Yan family practices the golden elixir, which includes seven returns, eight changes, and nine returns. They refine the golden elixir into a great medicine, and their strength is far beyond the reach of other golden elixir masters.

Moreover, Yan Fang's martial arts was extremely strange and unique. He could actually act separately and cast spells, and he could grow twelve heads. Chen Shi had never seen or heard of such an evil martial art before.

"They are not the purpose of my trip."

He had originally seen that Xuanwu Pavilion was heavily guarded and the place was large, so he had no way to scout the area and observe the geography. In addition, there were many experts and he had no chance of winning, so he backed out. Now that Yan Rong invited him in, he naturally took the opportunity to look at the scenery in Xuanwu Pavilion.

There is a huge pool in the center of the Xuanwu Pavilion, like a small lake, which should be the dragon-raising pool.

The Yanglong Pond is divided into four courtyards with different functions, including meeting guests, gathering energy, refining elixirs, and the inner court.

The most important place is the Xuanwu Pavilion, which is built on a rockery next to the Yanglong Pond. The rockery is tall and rugged, with many wrinkled stones like dragon scales and holes as thick as a water tank. I think the dragon in the Yanglong Pond will crawl into the holes of the rocks after coming ashore, which is fun.

There are cool breezes in the mountains, which can help you escape the heat.

Chen Shi left Hei Guo at the foot of the mountain and followed Yan Rong up the mountain.

There were white marble steps under their feet, and stone pillars at every corner, with stone lions on the pillars. The lions were the size of the melons in Old Lady Wuzhu's field, and were carved to look lifelike.

There was a flower basket at the corner, the air was filled with fragrance. A maid in a white dress was arranging the flowers, her collar hanging low, revealing her snow-white shoulders.

Chen Shi followed them to the Xuanwu Pavilion, and saw that the pavilion had three floors and was built on the water side of the rockery. On the other side of the mountain was a waterwheel, two or three meters high, driven by the flowing water, rotating and leading water from low places to high places.

So there was a waterfall on the mountain, and the water gushed out from under the pavilion. Although the waterfall was not big, it was winding like a dragon clinging to the cliff.

"Brother Chen Shi, how is the scenery of my Yan family's Xuanwu Pavilion?" Yan Rong asked with a smile.

Chen Shi praised: "The corridor bridge is winding and endless, making people linger. But is there no mosquito in such a big pool?"

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed.

Chen Shida was puzzled and said, "Such a large pool in the yard usually breeds mosquitoes. It's okay during the day, but at night, they're likely to bite people and suck blood."

Yan Qing smiled and said, "Xiu'er, what should we do if we encounter mosquitoes?"

The maid in white who was playing with flowers nearby walked gracefully, and suddenly an image of a divine fetus in a shrine appeared behind her mind. She activated a spell, and saw thin needles made of true energy flying in the air, coming and going as fast as lightning.

The maid named Xiu'er looked weak and frail, but her acupuncture skills were extremely delicate. The needles flew continuously as the maid's hands moved.

This needle is almost invisible to the naked eye. Chen Shi sensed through breath and felt that the needle was four inches long, as thick as a hair, and the attack distance was about ten feet.

If the distance exceeds this, the true Qi will dissipate and the needles will not be able to take shape.

Chen Shi took a step forward, as if he wanted to raise his hand to touch the thin needle in the air, and he just stepped within a distance of ten feet.

The maid hurriedly stepped back, but was still a step too late. The thin needle left a small pinhole in Chen Shi's palm.

Chen Shi raised his hand and looked at the needle hole in his palm, and a drop of blood flowed out.

The maid in white knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed, saying, "I accidentally hurt a guest. I will go get the elixir now!"

"It's just a minor injury. No need to bother."

Chen Shi remained calm, wiped the drop of blood from his palm, and asked, "What kind of magic is this set of acupuncture?"

Yan Rong waved his hand, letting the maid in white leave, and said with a smile: "The Thirteen Soul-Shocking Needles, a spell from the Rejuvenation Technique, is a martial art collected by my Yan family. The maids in Xuanwu Pavilion all practice this martial art, which is specially used to break the golden body skills such as Vajra Indestructible. But where are there so many Vajra Indestructible opponents? So I let the girls practice it, and they just kill some mosquitoes on weekdays."

"If we do anything, the maid must be killed first." Chen Shi thought to himself.

These maids who are proficient in the Thirteen Needles of Terror are too dangerous for him.

Although this maid's cultivation level was only at the Divine Embryo Realm, she was able to restrain him.

Although there is only one realm difference between the Jindan Realm and the Shentai Realm, the gap in strength is huge, just like the gap between the Jindan Realm and the Yuanying Realm, which is an insurmountable chasm!

But the skills of these maids were too special, which aroused Chen Shi's vigilance.

What made him feel even more troubled was that the Rejuvenation Technique and the Thirteen Soul-Shocking Needles were skills that the Yan family had passed down to their maid. The Yan family's inherited skills must be even more powerful!
They walked into the Xuanwu Pavilion. The first floor was a reception area, with tea sets, incense burners, and a small charcoal stove. On one side, a zither girl was playing the zither. She was wearing a light green dress and light makeup, and looked like a lady from a noble family. But when she saw everyone, she hurriedly stood up, came out from behind the zither, took a few small steps forward, and knelt on the ground.

Chen Shi said: "Brother Yan Rong, the rules of Xuanwu Pavilion are very strict."

Yan Rong smiled and said, "It's not that the rules of Xuanwu Pavilion are strict, but the rules of my Yan family are indeed stricter than those of other noble families. Managing a family is like managing a country. At home, there is order between the old and the young, and between the noble and the humble. In a country, the ruler is the ruler, the minister is the minister, and the father is the son. Brother Chen, please come this way."

Chen Shi followed them to the second floor of Xuanwu Pavilion, where County Magistrate Yan Jingsi's family banquet was held. It was divided into two dining areas: the outside where the less prestigious Yan family members had their meals, and the inside where Yan Rong and others had their meals with County Magistrate Yan Jingsi.

As for the female family members, they had no chance to go up to the Xuanwu Pavilion to have meals.

——The Yan family does have many rules.

Chen Shi followed the crowd to a teahouse nearby. Hanging above the teahouse was a banner with the four characters "人有有操" (People Have Something to Do) written on it. The strokes were vigorous and powerful, and the force penetrated through the paper. It was written in the Slender Gold style.

"This is my uncle's handwriting. My uncle has a beautiful handwriting." Yan Rong said with a smile.

Chen Shi nodded slightly and said, "People should have integrity. People should have integrity, have a sense of control, have backbone, and know what to do and what not to do."

Yan Rong smiled and said, "Brother Chen seems to have some realization. If you like it, I'll ask my uncle to write one for you. Please sit down and have some tea first. My uncle is busy with official duties, so we'll wait for a while."

"Not urgent."

Chen Shi sat down and looked around. The tea room on the second floor was not big, and with so many people sitting there drinking tea, it was a bit crowded.

“What a great opportunity.”

He felt a little anxious, and this tea room was a better place to take action, but unfortunately he didn't know the strength of Yan Rong, Yan Qing and the others.

He leaned against the window and could just see the scene in the dragon pond below.

"If there is a dragon in the pond, it must be very comfortable to drink tea here." Chen Shi said with a smile.

Yan Qing, Yan Fang and the others raised their eyebrows, unable to hold back the anger rising in their hearts.

Only Yan Rong remained calm and did not take this as a provocation.

Chen Shi looked around and asked in confusion, "I heard that there is a dragon in the dragon pond of Xuanwu Pavilion. Where is that dragon? Let it come up and drink tea with us. Is it not at home?"

He smiled slightly and said, "Did he go to have tea with Li Tianxiu?" "That's enough!"

Yan Qing was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up, stabbing the dragon-slaying sword on the tea table. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Shi, my Yan family has given you face! How dare you use this kind of sword to plot against my uncle Shang Shan! Today is not a toast, but a penalty drink. If you don't give me an explanation, don't even think about leaving Xuanwu Pavilion alive!"

Yan Rong held his shoulders, his face darkened, and shouted, "Yan Qing, sit down!"

Yan Qing suppressed his anger, sat down heavily, and stared at Chen Shi with wide eyes without blinking.

Yan Rong smiled slightly and said, "Brother Chen forged this sword and killed the dragon raised by our Yan family. Don't you intend to give our Yan family an explanation?"

Chen Shi looked at the bronze sword in front of him, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull out the bronze sword. Everyone in the tea room was shocked. Without saying a word, the shrines behind their heads lit up, and the divine fetuses appeared. Everyone opened their mouths and spit out golden elixirs. For a moment, all kinds of lights gathered in the tea room, black, yellow, purple, green, and there was an ochre golden elixir, which belonged to Yan Rong!
Various golden elixirs emitted extremely powerful pressure, causing the tea room to creak!
The various talismans hidden in the dark corners of the walls, paintings, and curtains around the tea room also burst into light and were activated!
At the same time, Chen Shi sensed that the girl who was playing the piano downstairs quietly turned over and stood up, and landed lightly on the ground, just coming to where he was sitting, urging the divine fetus in the shrine to gather a sword energy.

As long as he dared to swing his sword to hurt someone, the sword energy of the Qin girl would immediately fly out from the bottom to the top and split him in half from the bottom up!

Several maids rushed in from outside, each of them preparing their spells. They looked up, moving silently, ready to attack Chen Shi from bottom to top at any time.

There was also a woman who had achieved the Golden Elixir state at the stairs. She had one foot on the third step and the other foot raised. She looked up, her muscles tensed, ready to run up.

On the third floor, he could sense the presence of several other Yan family masters, some of whom were holding onto the window frame, ready to jump down, and some of whom were offering their golden elixirs, ready to punch through the floor and hit him directly on the head. Two others came to the stairs, ready to charge from there.

Although Chen Shi did not see what was happening downstairs and upstairs, his sensitivity to the outside world has become increasingly stronger since he cultivated the Holy Fetus, and he took in all the reactions of these people in his mind.

He flicked the sword lightly and said with a smile, "I heard that there was a flood in Dejiang and many people were drowned, so I spent one and a half taels of silver to make this dragon-slaying sword. I sold it to Qiaowan Town for ten taels of silver. Did you kill your uncle Shangshan with this sword?"

Everyone in the tea room looked unhappy.

Chen Shi put down the bronze sword and asked, "Where are the dragons in your dragon pond?"

Yan Qing couldn't hold it in any longer and said angrily: "Mr. Chen, don't be so shameless! If it weren't for your dead grandfather..."

Chen Shi's face changed drastically. He raised his hand, grabbed his scalp, and slammed it on the tea table in front of him with a bang!
Yan Qing is also a master. He has been training his muscles and bones with herbs since he was young. After he became a golden elixir, he has been able to make his body extremely solid and powerful. But when Chen Shi reached out to grab him, he had no time to dodge. Chen Shi grabbed his head and pressed it down. He felt that his strength could not stop him!
With all his strength, he was like a chick in front of Chen Shi, and was pinned down by him, unable to move.

His head smashed the tea table into pieces and hit his head on the floor. Shocked and angry, Chen Shi hit his cheek with his other fist. With a loud bang, the Xuanwu Pavilion shook violently, and the window frames and doors on the upper, middle and lower floors rattled.

In the tea room, everyone's faces changed drastically and they were about to step forward to help.

Yan Rong suddenly opened his arms, blocked everyone, and said sternly: "No one is allowed to do anything!"

The masters of the Yan family upstairs, the maids downstairs, and the masters on the two staircases were all preparing to take action, but when they heard this, they stopped and continued to stand still.

"Oh!"

There was another violent vibration from the second floor. Chen Shi raised his fist and hit Yan Qing's chin with the second punch, which was even harder than the first one.

"You can say that about me, about my grandfather, you are asking for death!"

Chen Shi beat and scolded Yan Qing, punching him one after another. The left half of Yan Qing's face was beaten like a pig's head. Then Chen Shi picked him up, pressed the other side of his face to the ground, and continued to beat him.

He was shocked and angry. At first he still had the strength to resist and tried to use his golden elixir to hurt others, but Chen Shi's palm pressed on the occipital point behind his head, blocking his occipital bone. He could not think out anything and his golden elixir was completely useless.

After being hit more than a dozen times, Yan Qing was already in a daze, with his mind going blank.

Chen Shi seemed to be tired of beating Yan Qing, so he let go of Yan Qing, straightened his back, grabbed the teapot beside him and smashed it down hard. Bang, bang, bang, the copper teapot was flattened.

He jumped up again, stomped on Yan Qing a few times, spat at him, and said viciously: "If you say anything about my grandfather again next time, I'll beat you to death!"

In the tea room, everyone's faces turned green and red, but no one moved.

Chen Shi stretched out his hands, tidied up his messy hair, and said apologetically: "Dear brothers of the Yan family, I lost my temper. Please forgive me. Please forgive me."

He was quite satisfied in his heart, as he had finally found out the cultivation level of everyone in this building.

Yan Rong was about to speak when he suddenly heard the maid's voice: "The master is almost here!"

A group of maids came in one after another, went upstairs, and brought all kinds of delicacies and placed them in the main hall facing the water.

When the food was served, a maid brought hot water, towels, a silver basin and a brand new towel for each person.

After everyone washed their hands, they heard the sound of steady footsteps coming up the stairs.

Chen Shi clearly heard footsteps, but did not sense anyone coming up the stairs, and was startled.

The person who went upstairs was like a ball of air, completely out of his perception!

"Yan Jingsi's cultivation is really too high!"

Yan Rong smiled and said, "Brother Chen, please."

Chen Shi calmed himself down and walked out of the tea room with them. Yan Rong waved to the maids beside him, signaling them to carry the unconscious Yan Qing away and clean up the tea room.

Chen Shi and the others came to the main hall and saw an adult sitting on a Luohan bed on one side. He was in his thirties or forties, thin, with a slight beard, bags under his eyes, and a Taoist bun. He was also wearing a Taoist robe. He did not look like a county magistrate, but rather a Taoist student.

He was clearly sitting there, but Chen Shi still couldn't sense him.

Yan Fang approached the elder and whispered, "Uncle, Uncle Shangshan..."

"It doesn't matter."

The Taoist priest was Yan Jingsi, the magistrate of Lei County. He raised his hand and said, "Shangshan has killed too many lives. He wants to transform into a dragon, so he is destined to have this disaster. I have used Ziwei numerology to calculate that it cannot escape this disaster. It is nothing more than God using Brother Chen's hand to let it face the disaster. Brother, please take your seat."

"My lord please."

Everyone took their seats, each with a maid serving them.

Chen Shi was arranged to sit next to Yan Jingsi. He just grabbed the chopsticks and then remembered to toast. He quickly clamped the chopsticks under his palm, stood up and toasted, saying: "I am Chen Shi, and I toast to you, my Lord."

Yan Jingsi raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Chen Shi felt like a thorn in his back from the maidservant behind him, so he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

At this banquet, the guests and hosts were all having a good time. Everyone kept urging people to drink, but no one mentioned Shangshan's murder. Chen Shi got drunk and stumbled down the stairs. When he reached the bottom of the hill, he almost fell.

Hei Guo quickly followed.

Chen Shi staggered back and forth, waving his hands to the Yan family members, saying, "I, I can walk, no need to help me! I'll tell my grandfather later that the Yan family... are all great! My grandfather will definitely... take good care of you! Go back, go back!"

Everyone sent him out of Xuanwu Pavilion. Chen Shi staggered along the street and unknowingly came to a teahouse. He felt his lips and mouth were dry, so he went upstairs to drink tea.

Dr. Tea quickly poured tea for him, wondering in his heart, "He actually walked out alive. Could he not be seeking revenge?"

Chen Shi took out a hundred-liang silver note, put it under the teapot, and whispered, "Shopkeeper, please buy me a dozen pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep for the pregnant women."

——Another big chapter! Please vote for me at the end of the month, and the new book will be on the list!
