Chapter 143 You Were Sold

Six strong men rushed forward from behind the shopkeeper. One of them tried to strangle Chen Shi from behind, two grabbed Chen Shi's arms, and the other two stood in front and kicked Chen Shi in the lower abdomen. Another one drew out a dagger and planned to pick the tendons of Chen Shi's left hand.

Xiucai and his friends have seen this many times.

He has only read a few years of books, obtained a divine gift from God, and knows a few magic spells, so he thinks he is great. But once someone gets close to him, he is just a poor scholar who is powerless and can do whatever they want.

What's more, they are also scholars.

As they were about to get closer, Chen Shi grabbed the chopsticks from the chopstick holder on the table. Before the two men in front of him kicked his lower abdomen, their legs were already full of chopsticks.

Chopsticks were lined up in a row, inserted from the calves to the thighs of the two men.

The chopstick cage is empty.

In this short moment, Chen Shi actually made more than forty moves, took out more than forty chopsticks from the chopstick cage, and inserted them into their legs!
The two were heartbroken and let out long, shrill howls.

Chen Shi pinched a chopstick on the leg of the man on the left with two fingers, pulled it out of the wound, and stabbed it backwards into the hollow of the shoulder of the man who was holding his neck behind him, avoiding his heart.

The chopstick entered his chest and pierced his shoulder blade behind him.

Chen Shi pulled out two more chopsticks, opened them left and right, and shot them out with a shake of his hand. The chopsticks made a sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air. The two people who came to grab his arms felt a huge force coming at them, and the two chopsticks pierced their palms. They flew backwards, one on the left and one on the right, and hung on the wall with two bangs, holding their hands and screaming.

Another man's dagger stabbed Chen Shi's wrist, but he felt dizzy and before he could make any move, five people around him were injured one after another. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should continue to stab with his dagger.

Especially the two sturdy men in front of Chen Shi, their legs were full of chopsticks. Almost all of the more than 40 chopsticks in the chopstick cage were stuck in their legs. The pain made the two men howl and tremble.

Chen Shi looked at the trembling sword tip in front of him, stretched out his hand, and gently hooked it with his fingertips.

The sturdy man holding the dagger handed it to him tremblingly. Chen Shi looked at the dagger and saw that the sword was about nine inches long, the handle was four inches long, and the blade was five inches long. It was made of fine iron, and there were blood symbols engraved on the handle with cinnabar and black dog blood. After being hit by the sword, the blood would flow continuously.

There are also talismans engraved on both sides of the sword body, but they are Vajra talismans, which are used to bless the sword body and make it strong.

Chen Shi raised his hand to pick up the sword, then put the dagger into the strong man's right hand.

The tendons of the strong man's left hand had been cut and were bleeding.

The sturdy man held the sword, his body shaking. He did not see clearly how Chen Shi cut his tendons because it was too fast.

He gritted his teeth, a shrine and a divine fetus appeared behind him, and he was about to cast a spell.

"I didn't realize you were also a scholar."

Chen Shi was surprised and said, "You just wanted to cut the tendons of my left hand, so I cut the tendons of your left hand, tit for tat. If you want to kill me with magic, then I can only send you to reincarnation."

The sturdy man held his left wrist with his right hand holding the dagger. His face looked a little ferocious. He wanted to take action but did not dare to do so.

Chen Shi still sat at the table and did not stand up. Instead, he turned his head to look at the shopkeeper and thought to himself, "The master said that one should be able to stand on one's own feet at the age of thirty. Now that there are less than thirty people, there is really no need to stand up."

The shopkeeper's face was uncertain, and suddenly he shouted, and a shrine appeared behind him. The divine fetus sat in the shrine, and opened its mouth to spit out a black golden pill.

The golden elixir force field emanated, it was pitch black and gave off an evil aura.

"Black golden elixir, fourth stage of golden elixir... thirteen soul-stirring needles!"

Chen Shi sensed the danger, his face changed slightly, and he raised his hand and threw the round table beside him away!
The round table rotated and cut in front of the shopkeeper, and was suddenly shattered by countless tiny sword energies!
The tables and chairs in the restaurant suddenly began to tremble, the teapots, bowls and dishes clinked, and many tiny holes appeared on the tables and chairs, as if they had been eaten by insects and ants.

Suddenly, many holes appeared on the teapot, bowls and plates, and the tea in the pot flowed out in all directions.

That was the result of the delicate sword energy emitted by the black golden elixir!
The sword energy was as thin as a hair and extremely delicate. It was not the Thirteen Soul-Shocking Needles, but it was similar to the Thirteen Soul-Shocking Needles. They all used extremely thin silver needles or sword energy, and were specifically designed to break the physical methods such as the Gangqi, Golden Body, and Dharma Body.

It is more dangerous than the Thirteen Needles, more delicate, more powerful, and hard to guard against!
As Chen Shi threw the round table, his body flipped backwards and jumped out. The moment his body flipped up, his Ziwu Zhanxie Sword flew out with the sword technique in his left hand!

The invisible sword energy invaded the shopkeeper's golden elixir force field, and in an instant the sword energy was pierced by countless extremely thin sword energies, becoming riddled with holes.

However, even though it was riddled with holes, the evil-killing sword energy still penetrated the golden elixir force field and passed through it in a flash.

The shopkeeper raised his hand and grabbed his neck, staring at Chen Shi with wide eyes.

Chen Shi had already left the restaurant and landed on the street outside. He was secretly upset in his heart: "I still can't achieve the state of being independent at the age of thirty. I am still far from the realm of Master."

Blood was constantly flowing out from where the shopkeeper was holding his hand, and the head on his neck was sliding to one side.

The shopkeeper held his head with both hands, screamed, and ran upstairs with a terrified look, shouting, "Intermittent cream! Quick, get the intermittent cream!"

He was panicking, knowing that his neck had been cut by Chen Shi's sword energy. He had to apply his treasured ointment to the wound to allow the medicinal power to penetrate into the wound, and perhaps save his life.

He didn't care about Chen Shi and ran upstairs while shouting. Unexpectedly, just as his feet landed on the stairs, they suddenly broke with a click.

The shopkeeper staggered and fell down. The head he was holding in his hands was immediately separated from his neck and blood gushed out.

"Oops!"

His head rolled more than ten feet away and rolled into a corner of the wall. He was still thinking, "I used the golden elixir earlier, and the sword energy in the golden elixir was released. The stairs were also hit by a lot of sword energy and were beaten to pieces."

His headless body stood up, and his hands stretched forward, groping around.

Blood was still gushing out of his neck, but the golden elixir flew over and suppressed the surging plasma, greatly reducing the speed of the blood gushing out.

The shopkeeper's wife and several assistants heard the shouting, and hurriedly fetched the ointment and ran down from upstairs. Unexpectedly, they stepped on empty air, and the stairs broke. Several people fell down the stairs and fell to the ground, with the ointment spilling all over the floor.

The shopkeeper's wife hurriedly used her hands to pick up the intermittent ointment on the ground, but suddenly the headless body could not hold on and fell to the ground with a thud.

The shopkeeper's wife was stunned, a look of horror on her face. She didn't care about the shopkeeper's life or death, and ran out quickly, as if she had encountered something extremely terrifying!

Without the restraint of the shopkeeper, the golden elixir of the shopkeeper suddenly burst out with the power contained in it!
"Om-"

Countless tiny black sword energies expanded outwards, engulfing the first floor of the restaurant in an instant.

The bodies of the shopkeeper's wife and the shop assistants turned into bloody bodies in the blink of an eye, pierced by countless needle-shaped sword qi, no matter flesh, bones, or internal organs, they were all pierced! Together with the several strong men who besieged Chen Shi just now, including the shopkeeper himself, they were also shattered by the power of the golden elixir!

All around, there were constant crackling sounds. The pillars, walls, tables, chairs, benches, and other things on the first floor of the restaurant exploded one after another in the sword energy!

Chen Shi stood on the street and saw the restaurant in front of him collapse. The first floor of the restaurant was turned into powder by the sword energy. Then the second floor of the restaurant also fell apart in the sword energy on the way down!
Countless pieces of wood fell and piled up, filling the air with smoke and dust.

The broken wood becomes sawdust, and the sawdust becomes powder.

When the power of this golden elixir completely dissipated, a large round hole appeared on the ground, as if it was caused by a heavy iron ball.

Beads of cold sweat broke out on Chen Shi's forehead.

The magic that this shopkeeper practiced just happened to restrain him. If he were in his golden elixir force field, he would probably be shattered beyond repair.

"Mr. Zhu said that reading ten thousand books is like traveling ten thousand miles. I have learned so much from you, and I must put it into practice. You are sixty years old and have obedient ears. Even if sixty people siege you, you can still make their begging for mercy sound sweet to your ears. That's what a real man is." Chen Shi thought to himself.

The black pot and the wooden cart were just outside the restaurant and were not affected. The tall fellow villager was also there, crushed under the wooden cart, with the black pot stepping on his head. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

It is thought that after this person sold out Chen Shi, he came to the outside of the restaurant to take Chen Shi's wooden cart and take the black pot away to sell it. Unexpectedly, he was beaten up by Chen Shi's wooden cart and the black pot.

"Being beaten by the black pot and the wooden cart together, this guy is half dead if he doesn't die."

Chen Shi walked over and was about to check if anything was missing from the car when a fragrant breeze blew towards him. A soft hand held his arm, and then a girl's chubby body came up to him, and laughter rushed into Chen Shi's ears.

"Brother Chen, you killed someone, and you still dare to stay on the street! Aren't you afraid of death?"

The person holding his arm was not an outsider, but Hu Feifei, a classmate from Wencai Academy. She pulled him out and whispered, "You've just arrived in Gongzhou and you've already caused trouble. The whole restaurant is ruined by you. Are you waiting for the government to arrest you?"

Chen Shi quickly took out the compass, threw it to Hei Guo, and whispered, "Hei Guo, drive and follow us!"

Hei Guo quickly caught the compass, stood up, grabbed the compass with his two front paws, and controlled the wooden cart to catch up with Chen Shi and Hu Feifei.

The golden elixir exploded and the restaurant collapsed, causing quite a noise, which attracted people on the street to rush over here.

Hei Guo controlled the wooden cart and squeezed out of the crowd. The people in Gongzhou provincial capital were generally well-informed and were not surprised by this.

The wooden cart gradually accelerated, following Chen Shi and Hu Feifei through the wide streets and into the narrow and dark alleys.

A man, a fox, a dog and a car sped through the alley. When they met pedestrians, they stuck to the wall and passed by them.

However, the wooden cart was a bit wide, and when pedestrians could not pass through, the wooden cart would grow six or seven sturdy arms, each more than a meter long, which would lift the pedestrians high up and carry them to the next pair of arms, then relay them all the way to the other side.

Hu Feifei ran two or three miles before she slowed down and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, have you been sold? You are so stupid!"

She smiled and panted, raising her hand to fan the edge of her clothes. The wind blew up a gust of spring light, snow-white, appearing and disappearing.

Chen Shi asked curiously, "How do you know I was sold?"

Hu Feifei's eyes curved with laughter, and she said in a somewhat innocent voice, "Because I sold seven or eight human traffickers."

She smiled with a sense of pride and said, "They saw that I was from the countryside and wanted to sell me to a brothel to serve customers, so I took advantage of their situation and sold them to a farm outside the city to do hard labor."

Chen Shi was stunned.

However, this is a racial talent and cannot be envied.

Seeing this, Hu Feifei became even more proud. She took his hand and walked towards the street outside, saying with a smile: "I saw you standing outside the restaurant and killed everyone in the restaurant. I knew that Brother Chen was sold out..."

Chen Shi's face flushed red, and he protested, "Sister Feifei, there's no need to mention this matter anymore. And I didn't kill everyone, I only killed the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper's golden elixir went out of control and killed everyone else."

Hu Feifei smiled and said, "Don't mention it. You are a scholar, and you came to take the exam. How could you be sold out? Don't you know that you have to meet the school supervisor of Gongzhou Province first to take the exam?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "What is the school commander?"

Hu Feifei asked in confusion: "Your private school teacher never taught you? Yes, your private school teacher is Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu ran away to Qiaowan Town. I guess you didn't go to find him. No wonder you were sold out."

Chen Shi protested: "You said you wouldn't mention this, but in just a short moment, you mentioned it three times!"

Hu Feifei smiled and said, "Don't mention it, don't mention it."

"What is a school officer?" Chen Shi asked.

Hu Feifei said: "The education officials are appointed by the court. They are officials in charge of the spring examinations in each province and are also responsible for selecting scholars. Those with good conduct will be appointed, while those with bad conduct will even be deposed and have their titles revoked. We, the scholars who go to the provincial capital to take the exam, must report to the education officials after arriving in the provincial capital. The education officials will arrange places like post stations for us to stay, so that we don't have to wander around and get sold."

"You brought it up again!" Chen Shi was so angry that his stomach swelled.

Hu Feifei suppressed her laughter and said, "Don't mention it, don't mention it. I have been selling people to make money these days, and I haven't had time to pay a visit to the education official. It's a good opportunity for us to go together. Don't go out these days. The restaurant owner you killed is probably related to a senior official in Gongzhou Province. Otherwise, who would dare to buy and sell people in a restaurant?"

Chen Shi followed her and asked, "There are so many people trafficking in the provincial capital. Why don't the government intervene?"

Hu Feifei smiled and said, "Can ordinary people do this kind of business in the provincial capital? Why would the government care about the government? Even if it is not the government's business, it still puts a lot of money into the pockets of the officials every year. The relationship is very good."

Chen Shi fell silent, and said sadly: "How can this be? What's the point of studying?"

"Of course it is useful. If you study hard, you can take the exam and join them."

Hu Feifei said, "Studying can also make you pure and self-disciplined. If all else fails, you can just do what I did, find a talented scholar to marry, and become the wife of a county magistrate or a governor!"

Chen Shi whispered, "Join them? Those who are innocent will be innocent? I don't want any of that. Can I change them?"

"Change the world?"

Hu Feifei burst out laughing and held onto his arm tightly. "Brother Chen is so mature sometimes, but why is he so naive sometimes? Countless people have tried to change the world, but were taught a lesson by it, and it's hard for them to even make a living! We're here at the Admiral's Academy!"
