Chapter 118 Peach Blossom Talisman Brings Romantic Luck

The maid Ding Ding hesitated for a moment, a little hesitant. After all, they had just met and had only exchanged a few words. How could it make sense for her to live in someone else's home?

Seeing her hesitation, Chen Shi smiled and asked, "Does Ding Ding think I'm a bad guy?"

Ding Ding shook his head: "Not like that."

Chen Shi said, "Since I don't look like a bad person, what are you afraid of, sister? I am well-respected in the village and a well-known kind person. Sister Ding Ding, my dog ​​can cook and he is quite good at it. Let him cook a few dishes tonight."

Ding Ding's eyes widened, and he looked at the black pot in surprise, and he stammered, "It can cook?"

"I am good at cutting vegetables, cooking, frying, stir-frying and deep-frying."

Chen Shi said, "If you live in my house, you will see it. Do you want to stay here alone at night?"

Ding Ding looked at the coffin in the villa, tightened the blue-green pipa bag in her arms, and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Chen Shi walked out, turned back and said with a smile: "Let's go together! It won't be too late to come and see Madam Hua Li in a few days."

Ding Ding gritted his teeth and hurried to catch up with him.

The two men and the dog walked out of the mountain. Ding Ding followed him and asked quietly, "Can your black pot really cook?"

Madam Hua Li was already lying in the coffin at this time. She overheard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but secretly shook her head: "Chen Shi is just like his grandfather back then, with a sweet mouth and is best at deceiving young girls."

She did not say anything to stop him and let Chen Shi take Ding Ding away.

Ding Ding followed Chen Shi to Huangpo Village. Just as Chen Shi had said, the villagers were very enthusiastic. The expressions on their faces when they looked at Mr. Chen were as if they were looking at a hen that lays golden eggs.

"What a beautiful girl! Don't be fooled by the bully." Grandma Yuzhu looked at Chen Shi with a smile on her face and whispered to Ding Ding.

"Run away while you have a chance." Another old lady said in a low voice, gritting her teeth and smiling.

"Do you want us to report to the police?" Another woman came up to her quietly, smiled at the village tyrant, but asked her in a low voice.

"Don't report it to the authorities! The officials have eaten him and killed several people!"

"Were you deceived or robbed?"

……

Ding Ding finally got rid of the enthusiastic villagers and followed Chen Shi to Chen's house. As soon as they got home, Hei Guo went to sweep the floor. Ding Ding stared at the dog in surprise, but after a moment, she felt that this was normal and her overreaction was a little abnormal.

Chen Shi went out and borrowed oil, salt, meat, eggs, vegetables and fruits from every household.

The villagers saw them off warmly and enthusiastically.

Sure enough, Ding Ding saw Hei Guo putting on an apron, picking and washing vegetables, then cutting them and sorting them neatly.

"Stop looking at Ding Ding, let's go clean up the guest room."

Chen Shi called out, and Ding Ding came to her senses and hurried over. The two of them cleaned up the guest room and made up the bedding together.

Chen Shi put the bedding on a wooden rack and lit a plate of goose pear incense underneath to make the bedding fragrant. He smiled and said, "There are more than a dozen spices in the incense, such as goose pear, agarwood, sandalwood, etc. I picked the goose pear in the mountains, squeezed it into juice, and mixed it with spices to make fragrant honey, and then made into incense. These are all spices that calm the mind and soothe the nerves. Fumigating the bedding will make you sleep particularly soundly at night. Sister Ding Ding, are you used to the smell?"

Ding Ding sniffed the scent and smiled, "It smells good."

Chen Shi was very happy and sat on the bed: "As long as you like it. It's just me and Hei Guo at home, it's boring. Sister Ding Ding can chat with me."

Ding Ding sat down, her heart pounding.

Chen Shi became excited and spoke eloquently about the interesting things he had encountered, from his grandfather eating candles to the kiln factory, from the kiln factory to the evil Bodhisattva, and then to the rules in the mountains, various strange evil spirits, and the methods of exorcising evil spirits.

He was very excited. He took out the secret records of various evil spirits that he had drawn, turned the pages one by one to show Ding Ding, and then explained the key points of these evil spirits.

Ding Ding only felt that he was getting closer and closer, and she felt a little flustered, as if something was going to happen next.

"Snapped!"

Chen Shi closed the evil spirit secret record he had drawn and said, "Don't worry about being bored staying at my house. I am also a talisman master and can take you to exorcise evil spirits. It's just that business has been a bit bad recently."

He was a little worried.

There used to be a lot of evil spirits in Qianyang Mountain, but now no one knows where they have gone, and it is difficult to find even one.

"Could it be that a big evil spirit appeared in the mountain and drove away all the other evil spirits?" Chen Shi was stunned.

"According to what my sisters said, he should have done something to me, right?" Ding Ding's heart was pounding.

Chen Shi stood up and walked out, saying, "Hei Guo said the food is ready, let's eat."

Ding Ding was stunned and hurried to catch up with him, thinking: "He is a gentleman, I misunderstood him."

Sure enough, Heiguo had already prepared four dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetarian.

The two of them sat at the table. Heiguo took off his apron, went to the well to fetch a bucket of water, washed his claws, looked at the two half-grown boys and girls who were eating, and sighed.

The old owner is gone. Without me, I don’t know how long this family can last.

At night, Ding Ding washed herself, took a bath, bolted the door, and lay on the bed, her heart pounding: "If he comes running over, will I open the door? I won't open it... But what if he begs me? Should I open it or not..."

She was lost in thought when she heard some noise in the yard.

She secretly got up and went to the window to look. She saw the bright moonlight outside. Chen Shi had just taken a medicinal bath and was practicing in the yard with only a pair of white trousers and bare chest.

The young man looked very pious, as if cultivation was a sacred thing.

He stepped into the fighting stance, and his movements were as fierce as a tiger, with an invincible mind. Every step he took, balls of starlight exploded and flowed through the muscle texture on the surface of his skin.

Behind his head, a small temple was floating, and there seemed to be sunlight shining in the small temple, like a yellow light.

In the temple, the lights of the sun, moon and stars turned into rolling streams of light and flowed into Chen's entity.

On the shrine of the small temple, the Three Ghost Kings sat upright, like an old Buddha, and there was something sacred about them.

These days, it has been practicing with Chen Shi. Although it was frightened and was always treated as a deity by Chen Shi, it actually benefited a lot and its cultivation level increased greatly!
Especially, a lot of ghost energy and evil energy have been refined away, and there is a tendency that he will surpass the Great Ghost King and become the leader in one fell swoop!

After practicing for a while, Chen Shi returned to his room and did not attack the west wing at night.

Ding Ding was a little disappointed. He yawned, curled up in the quilt, and fell asleep after a while.

In the yard, Gouzi sighed.

Even pigs don't know how to dig up cabbages.

Sad heart.

Ding Ding spent a night at Chen Shi's house. When she woke up in the morning, she saw Hei Guo cooking breakfast, but Chen Shi was not at home.

She was used to serving others, and she felt uncomfortable being served by the dog, so she hurried forward to help.

The man and the dog cooked and chatted, talking about family matters, very happily. After a long time, Ding Ding suddenly woke up for a moment and wondered: "Did Chen Shi's dog speak? Strange, why don't I have any memory of this, only a vague impression? Who was I talking to just now?"

She didn't feel a little creepy, but she felt that Hei Guo's look at her was a little strange.

Fortunately, she quickly put the matter behind her in the eyes of the dog.

Chen Shi paid respects to his godmother, studied for the morning lessons, and returned home to have breakfast with Ding Ding. Ding Ding helped to wash the pots and dishes, while Chen Shi took out a knife, cut the black pot, and then mixed cinnabar to draw the armor and horse symbol of the wooden cart.

Ding Ding had washed the pots and pans, and Chen Shi had already tied up the car.

Ding Ding was carrying a blue cloth bag on her back. Chen Shi had already gotten on the cart and pulled her in. The two of them sat on the cart. The wooden cart was rolling along, with Hei Guo leading the way in front, heading out of the village.

"Maybe because of the demonic incident in Qianyang Mountain, there are fewer evil spirits. We have no business in Qianyang Mountain. There is no need to go to Heishan. I have done a very clean job there."

In the car, Chen Shi analyzed, "The county magistrate of Xinxiang County has changed twice, and I have killed the biggest evil spirits. It's not a big deal. As for Lei County, I won't go there because I have committed a crime there. As for Shuiniu County... I won't go there. Now the only place that can run a talisman stall business is Fei County."

The county seat of Feixian is located in the southwest corner of the Qianyang Mountains, more than 200 miles away from the Qianyang Mountains. It does not belong to Xinxiang Province, but to Gongzhou Province.

However, the place they went to was not the county town, but the villages and towns of Fei County. One purpose was to sell talismans, and the other was to exorcise evil spirits.

Children from poor families have to grow up early. Chen Shi has been spending money like water these days and has to save money to marry a wife. Unfortunately, most of the evil spirits in Qianyang Mountain have run away, leaving him without business. Now he has no choice but to run to Fei County.

Grandpa once said that this kind of behavior is called overstepping one's boundaries, which is despised by colleagues and other talisman masters. However, Chen Shi is at the end of his rope and can only go to Fei County to make money.

The wooden cart always squeaked and moved slowly in grandpa's hands, but in Chen Shi's hands, it whistled like the wind, and the armor and horse talisman was pushed to the extreme, rushing along the post road.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Xinglong Town in Fei County.

Chen Shi parked his car in the downtown area of ​​the town, set up his stall, and displayed various talismans that he had drawn long ago, but no one came to patronize him.

Ding Ding asked, "Is this a peach blossom charm? Have you ever used it on me, young master?"

Chen Shi shook his head: "I'm still young, I can't use this."

Ding Ding stuck out her tongue and smiled, "Can I use one?"

Seeing that there was no business, Chen Shi took out one and handed it to her.

"How to use it?"

"Do you have a sachet? Take a strand of your hair, wrap it with the talisman, and put it in the sachet."

Chen Shi plucked out a strand of her hair and wrapped it with talisman paper.

Ding Ding took out the sachet, took the talisman paper and stuffed it into the bag, then smiled and said, "Is this it?"

When the girl smiled, Chen Shi suddenly felt that the world became brighter and more charming and colorful. He felt as if a string in his heart was plucked and began to beat wildly.

Every man passing by in the busy streets of Xinglong Town would involuntarily have their eyes attracted to Ding Ding, and once their eyes were fixed on her, it would be difficult for them to look away.

Ding Ding was startled and quickly stuffed the sachet into Chen Shi's hand.

As soon as Chen Shi held the sachet, Ding Ding's eyes fell on him. She felt that this young man was as charming as a spring breeze blowing her hair, and her face blushed.

Some women came up from all directions and stopped in front of the talisman stall.

Chen Shi quickly threw the sachet aside.

"Master Talisman, I want your peach blossom talisman!" a woman woke up and said hurriedly.

"Give me a peach blossom charm!"

"I want three!"

……

At once, the crowd rushed forward and took out silver and money. Chen Shi was smiling happily. He and Ding Ding were selling talismans and collecting money, and they were very happy.

Seeing this, Hei Guo was suspicious: "Is it that the young master's skills have improved, or is it that my blood and yang energy have become stronger? Could it be that... I am going to reveal my true form?"

It is uneasy.

The talismans on Chen Shi's stall were sold out quickly. He made a lot of money and was very happy. He packed up the wooden cart and took Ding Ding to buy things. They bought everything from delicious and fun things to rouge and powder for girls.

The two were very satisfied and returned to the wooden cart, only to find someone already waiting in front of the cart. It was a scholar in blue clothes. When he saw them coming, he bowed and said, "Master Fu, there is an evil spirit in our village. Please help us!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "What about the other talisman masters? I have already crossed the line, I can't steal their business anymore."

The scholar in blue hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth, "To be honest, three talisman masters have died."

Chen Shi's face was solemn, and he said: "This matter, at least..."

He gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty taels of silver!"

He was very worried, as twenty taels of silver was a huge ask.

He made up his mind that as long as the other party bargained, he would agree!
"Deal!" the scholar in blue said happily.

Chen Shi was stunned.

Ding Ding leaned over to his ear, her breath tickling his ear, and whispered, "You want too little."

Li Mansion, Xinxiang Province.

Li Xiaozheng received the order from the Western Capital Cabinet and couldn't help laughing in anger. He said to his first wife Xia Weiyin, "Xinxiang County Magistrate Geng Chun was sent by the Zhang family. Chen Shi killed Geng Chun, but the Zhang family didn't even mention revenge. They issued an order saying that Geng Chun was an evil spirit and arranged a Xinxiang County Magistrate on the way. Chen Shi also killed Lei County Magistrate Yan Jingsi. Yan Jingsi was from the second wife's family, the Yan family. As a result, the Yan family ignored it and even exposed their own shortcomings, accusing Yan Jingsi of condoning the dragon to cause trouble. Now the order from the cabinet says that a new Lei County Magistrate has been arranged and is also on the way to take office!"

He slammed the decree on the table and said angrily: "If Chen Shi kills me, the governor of Xinxiang, one day, will the cabinet also charge me with treason? The officials of Xinxiang Province have already been replaced because of Chen Shi. Are they going to be replaced again?"

Xia Weiyin suppressed her laughter and consoled him, "Master, isn't it because the old gentlemen in the cabinet are worried that Chen Yin is still alive, so they are keeping their troops on hold? They are just waiting for others to make a move and test the situation."

Li Xiaozheng turned his anger into laughter and said, "I also know what these old gentlemen are thinking. They just want my Li family to come out on top. But I have extraordinary determination and will not be fooled. Chen Shi likes to make trouble, so let him make trouble. My Li family only sets its sights on the Ming treasure ship."

Xia Weiyin asked, "How is the Ming treasure ship doing these days?"

The smile on Li Xiaozheng's face disappeared, he sighed and said, "More than 30 people have died."

Xia Weiyin was shocked and asked why. Li Xiaozheng sighed, "It's okay to get close to that treasure ship, but once it touches it, the hidden ghost and god domain will be released immediately. Many Li family members didn't have time to escape and were turned into stone statues. Now my seventh brother and others are testing to find the limit of the stone ship's ghost and god domain."

Xia Weiyin frowned slightly and said, "Even if we measure the limit, there is nothing we can do if we can't get on the boat."

"There is a way to get on board without touching the ground."

Li Xiaozheng said, "I plan to board the ship myself and find the center of the ghost realm!"

That afternoon, Li Xiaozheng led his men into the treasure ship.

At night, the news of Li Xiaozheng's petrification reached the Li Mansion, causing chaos throughout the mansion.
