Chapter 117 When a person is about to die, his words are also good
County Magistrate Yan Jingsi still had an expression of astonishment on his face, and there seemed to be some unwillingness in his eyes.
But at this moment, his body was already dead, and even if he was unwilling, he could not tear the ewe's belly.
The belly of the ewe is a natural place of reincarnation. With his current strength, he has just fallen into reincarnation and can still make his Nascent Soul leave his body and tear open the ewe's belly to escape.
But escape also means death. He has already entered the womb of a sheep. Even if he tears open the ewe's belly, he will find that he is still a sheep when he comes out.
Besides, his physical body had already died at the hands of Chen Shi.
Chen Shi pulled out a stack of talisman papers from his sleeve and searched for the birth-inducing talisman.
Some pregnant women, when their due date arrives, cannot give birth and so they use labor-inducing talismans.
His grandfather once told him that reincarnation has a time limit and cannot be delayed for too long. If it is delayed too long, the soul of the reincarnated soul will not be able to enter the womb after the time limit, and if the reincarnation is missed, it will go back and the baby will be stillborn. Therefore, if the time for delivery comes, if the baby is not born, it must be induced to prevent the baby from dying in the womb.
However, this statement has not been verified, and Chen Shi doesn’t know whether it is true or not.
When his grandfather told him the story, he just treated it as a strange legend.
Chen Shi put the birth-inducing talisman on the ewe's belly, and heard a human voice coming from the sheep's belly, saying, "Chen Shi, why?"
Chen Shi asked in confusion: "Why?"
That voice was Yan Jingsi's. "Why are you killing me? We have no grudges. I was ordered by the Yan family to come and monitor you and your grandson. I never did anything to you. You came to my Xuanwu Pavilion the other day with murderous intentions, but I never did anything to you. I have done my best for you. You have planned everything today, praying for rain and laying mines, and bought so many animals that are about to give birth, in an attempt to take my life. Can I know why?"
Chen Shi said: "The dragon you raised is a kind-hearted one. He kills people for cultivation. It killed too many people and I couldn't stand it, so after I killed it, I came to kill you. If you live, more people will die."
Yan Jingsi was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Is that the reason? You want to kill me for this reason?"
Chen Shi nodded, and realizing that Yan Jingsi couldn't see, he said, "Yes, that's the reason. Are you unwilling to accept it?"
"I can not be reconciled!"
Yan Jingsi was furious. "I have been extremely talented since I was young. I could learn all kinds of Taoist methods collected by the Yan family at a glance and master them as soon as I started. However, my family members were afraid of me and sent me to Xinxiang, a place with wild folk customs, to monitor you and your grandchildren, which ruined my future! But I still have a calm heart for Taoism. I have been practicing hard for ten years! I know that I am not valued by the family, so I put a lot of effort into teaching my disciples! Those unvalued children of the Yan family have received the best inheritance and the most attentive guidance from me! I give them the best resources! I am worthy of my ancestors and the children of the Yan family. You want to kill me for the evil things you did to Shangshan? How can I be willing?"
"What does it have to do with me? I'm not the judge."
Chen Shi was puzzled, waiting for the inducing talisman to take effect, and said, "The dragon you raised killed too many people, so I came to kill you. I can't beat you, so I tried every possible way and used all kinds of tricks to kill you. This is what I should think about."
Yan Jingsi was extremely angry and shouted, "You are killing me for no reason! The people are like livestock and crops. You are killing a scholar like me for livestock and crops. How can this be justified in the world?"
Chen Shi said: "The Master said that when a man is about to die, his words are kind. I have beaten you to death, but you still speak so harshly! Who is lower than you as a human being?"
Yan Jing thought: "I was born in a noble family. My ancestors were royal nobles. My bloodline is high. How can I be compared with ordinary people?"
Chen Shi sneered, "Among the common people, who doesn't have ancestors from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? We are of the same blood, so how can we talk about nobility?"
The lamb's voice became louder and louder, saying, "You want to discuss the Dao with me? Today I will discuss it with you. If there were no rich and noble, how could there be a ruler and subjects? Otherwise, how could there be the Son of Heaven, how could there be princes and nobles? Is there no difference between the blood of the Son of Heaven and the blood of the common people?"
A group of merchants passing by on the road heard a human voice coming from the sheep's stomach and immediately panicked and shouted, "Evil spirit! This sheep has turned into an evil spirit!"
Yan Jingsi sneered, "Such fools deserve to die. As an official, I teach them just like planting crops. If the harvest is good, there will be more money, and if the harvest is bad, there will be less money. There are unexpected events in life, and I just harvested less..."
The merchants came up and prepared to smash the ewe to death.
Chen Shi quickly stopped them and said, "It's the evil spirit in the sheep's stomach that's causing trouble. What does it have to do with the ewe? Wait until the ewe gives birth."
The ewe's birth canal was open, and Chen Shi helped the ewe to give birth to a lamb.
The lamb broke free of its placenta, stood on all fours, and said, "I am Yan Jingsi, the magistrate of Lei County. I am your father and mother..."
Before it could finish, a rock hit it and knocked it to the ground.
The lamb was shocked and angry, and shouted, "I was born in the Yan family..."
Stones rained down like rain and soon killed it.
The people were afraid that it would come back to life, so they set it on fire.
As the fire burned, the aroma of roasted lamb wafted into the air.
When everyone saw Chen Shi walking away with the ewe, they looked at each other...
……
Chen Shi led the ewe to look for Hei Guo, who stood on his hind legs and was busy delivering babies. There were many more small animals on the ground, and the most numerous were piglets, which were very energetic and ran around when they were born.
Chen Shi felt worried when he looked at these animals.
The man and the dog came to the river and washed the blood stains on their bodies. Hei Guo jumped into the river and rubbed the blood on his chest and back with his two front paws. Suddenly he stopped and looked back at Chen Shi.
Chen Shi simply took off all his clothes and jumped into the river to take a bath. He saw the dog rubbing its body and looked at it with a strange expression.
Hei Guo was about to explain when Chen Shi asked in confusion, "Hei Guo, there's something wrong. You can't reach the back of your head when you take a shower."
He walked over and helped the dog clean the blood off the back of its head.
Heiguo felt warm in his heart, and after Chen Shi finished washing it, he rubbed Chen Shi's back.
After washing the man and the dog, Chen Shi put on his clothes and went to check on the animals. A boat passed by on the river, so Chen Shi waved and shouted, "Boatman, boatman, are you going to Gangzi Village downstream?"
The boatman came to the shore with the pole and asked, "Go. How many people?"
After a while, the boat was full of livestock.
The boatman carefully controlled the course for fear of capsizing.
When they arrived near Gangzi Village, Chen Shi chased the animals ashore and came to Granny Sha's house. He drove all the animals into Granny Sha's yard and said, "Granny, help me take care of them for one night."
Granny Sha looked at the yard full of animals and felt overwhelmed. She was kept awake all night by the noise.
The next day, Chen Shi brought the people from Huangpo Village. Every household was in high spirits. They led their livestock away and praised the scholar for his generosity and for giving them the livestock.
The scholar's face was uncertain, and he thought: "If I keep these unruly people fat, I can let them do more farm work and I can catch them better. And they will praise me for my kindness!"
Chen Xiucai left a piglet for Granny Sha, who was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and said, "We have roast suckling pig to eat tonight!"
Chen Shi hesitated. The old woman was an experienced person and had no intention of raising the piglets. He had no way of taking advantage of her.
"The magistrate of Lei County is dead?"
When Fu Leisheng heard the news, he was so shocked that he couldn't sleep all night. He hurried to Lei County to inquire and found out that County Magistrate Yan Jingsi had died.
Fu Leisheng inquired carefully and learned that Yan Jingsi was an unkind official who allowed the dragon to cause trouble and drowned many people by the river. Therefore, Xijing sent an envoy to investigate and find out the crime. Yan Jingsi learned about this and assassinated the Xijing envoy, but was killed by the Xijing envoy by the river. It can be said that it was retribution. Fu Leisheng was dumbfounded, and he also inquired in the teahouse that there was an internal conflict in the Yan family and many people were beaten to death in Xuanwu Pavilion.
The tea doctor described the event to the many tea drinkers in vivid detail, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Fu Leisheng drank tea and listened attentively. He thought to himself, "Was it the Xijing envoy who did it, or was it Chen Shi who did it? Xijing shouldn't cover up for Chen Shi, right? So the people above are good, but the officials below are bad."
He felt much more relieved, with a smile on his face, thinking: "Since the Xijing envoy has dealt with Yan Jingsi, then Chen Shi does not need to risk his life with Yan Jingsi. This kid has no idea how powerful the Nascent Soul Realm is, and he is so bold!"
Grandma Sha received the news two days after Fu Lei was born.
The old woman hurriedly found the bearded man and Qingyang, told them about the incident, and asked, "Which of you followed him and protected his safety a few days ago?"
The bearded man and Qingyang looked at each other and shook their heads.
Qing Yang said, "I thought Lao Hu was following him."
The bearded man said, "I thought you were following him, so I didn't go."
Granny Sha was shocked and cried out, "We didn't protect him, and in the blink of an eye, this kid went to do something big! No one was watching, and he died without knowing how! A Jindan Realm dared to kill the county magistrate of the Yuanying Realm, how audacious!"
Qing Yang smiled and said, "Master Fu has a record of using the Jindan Realm to fight against the Yuanying Realm. Mother-in-law, you are making a fuss."
"The Jindan realm is fighting against the Yuanying realm. It was done by old Chen Yindu!"
Granny Sha snorted, looking unhappy, and said, "In order to deal with that Yuanying realm cultivator, Old Chen killed twenty black dogs, prepared for eighteen days, drew various talismans, and set up an altar to attract the power of ghosts and gods, luring the opponent into an ambush before fighting him. Moreover, in that battle, the opponent was only injured, but Old Chen was seriously injured. This time, Xiao Shi killed Yan Jingsi!"
If Chen Shi fails, he will be the one to die!
If Chen Shi died, the evil spirits in his body would probably come out and wander around.
Hundreds of demons of the lowest level of evil bodhisattva are blooming everywhere...
Granny Sha sighed and said, "We are not godmothers now, but we are better than godmothers. We have been worried about Xiao Shi... What happened to Xiao Sanzi?"
She couldn't help but be furious: "Such an important matter, but you didn't come to report it!"
She tried to summon the three ghost kings repeatedly, but failed. She was suspicious: "Did Xiao Sanzi get beaten to death? Or was he eaten by Chen Shi?"
At Jinghu Villa, Hei Guo was guarding outside the villa, looking in from time to time. Chen Shi used the Tianpeng Fumo Dafa three times, and his blood and qi were too much, so he looked a little bad, so he had to lie in the coffin for a while.
He has been in the coffin for two days and has not come out yet.
At this time, footsteps were heard. Hei Guo looked in the direction of the sound, a little surprised.
Jinghu Villa is a sparsely populated area and is also a very dark place. Who would come to such a place?
At this time, two women came over. The woman in front looked like a lady walking down from a painting or calligraphy. She wore brown sa shoes with wooden soles, and a pair of red shoes inside. She wore a white long skirt and a blue round-necked, double-breasted jacket. She had her shiny black hair tied up in a bun, with her hair hanging on one side.
The hairpin was complicated, it should be a phoenix hairpin, but it had many beads hanging on it and was trembling slightly.
She also had earrings on her ears, like water drops, illuminated by the sunlight leaking through the leaves, reflecting rainbow colors.
Behind the woman with the phoenix hairpin is a maid in light green clothes, holding a blue cloth bag in her arms. Judging from the shape, there is a pipa in the bag.
"There's a dog!" the maid said in surprise.
The woman glanced at Hei Guo, smiled slightly, and said, "Hei Guo, long time no see. Are you still alive?"
Black Pot lowered his head and looked at the ground.
The woman with the phoenix hairpin asked, "Did anyone go in there?"
Black Pot nodded.
The woman with the phoenix hairpin was not in a hurry to go in, but stood quietly outside the villa with her maid, looking very demure.
Not long after, the sound of a coffin being opened was heard in the villa. Chen Shi moved the coffin board and walked out of the coffin. His blood and energy were abundant, and he was back to normal.
"I've grown a bit taller, and this little house is a bit too small for me. I have to find someone to make a bigger one."
He walked out while thinking. When he was out of the villa, the maid saw him coming out and hurriedly bowed with her legs slightly bent, saying, "This servant greets Master Chen."
The woman with the phoenix hairpin nodded slightly to Chen Shi, her eyes curved, and she smiled, "Xiao Shi, long time no see."
Chen Shi looked at the two of them, bowed and greeted them. He was quite surprised to hear that and asked, "Young lady, do you recognize me?"
The woman with the phoenix hairpin was also quite surprised and asked, "Master Chen didn't mention me to you?"
Chen Shi said honestly: "Grandpa never mentioned his old friend."
The Phoenix Hairpin girl thought for a moment and said with a smile, "He has his concerns. It seems that your memory still cannot be restored. Is your grandfather okay?"
Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Grandpa passed away."
The woman with the phoenix hairpin was sad and whispered, "Even he can't live forever?"
She looked at Chen Shi with a gentle gaze and sighed softly, "Can the refining of water and fire really reverse life and death?"
Chen Shi was a little confused as he watched the woman with the phoenix hairpin walk into Jinghu Villa.
The pretty maid stopped outside the manor and looked at Chen Shi with a smile.
Chen Shi asked the maid, "What's your daughter's name?"
"Madam Hua Li." The maid said crisply.
"So she's married."
Chen Shi was a little disappointed and asked, "What's your name?"
The maid smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents: "My name is Ding Ding."
Chen Shi laughed, thinking that this girl's smile was contagious, and asked, "Do you have a younger sister named Dangdang?"
The maid burst out laughing, put her hands behind her back, straightened her body, and said with a smile: "You guessed wrong, my brother's name is Ding Dang!"
Chen Shi scratched his head and smiled, "I see. Sister Ding Ding, do you really have to stay outside? Madam Hua Li seems to be injured. I'm afraid she will have to stay here for more than ten days. If you have nowhere to go, you can go to my village. I still have a few empty rooms."
