And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 2
Chen Yuan's room is said to be a room, but it is a utility room.

Except for some commonly used sundries such as dustpans and baskets, there is no furniture inside. There is only a crude bed supported by wooden boards, which can barely be used for shelter at night.

The location is in a low hut next to the black hog shed where passers-by were kept in captivity in the backyard on the first floor.

Usually at night, when a breeze blows, the smell of black pig excrement often drifts into the room where he lives, and the stench will wake him up from his sleep.

"But there's nothing I can do. Now I'm in a dangerous situation. It's good if I can live. Don't ask for any living environment."

After Chen Yuan returned to the room, he took a look at the extremely messy room, which was not much better than the enclosure, and said helplessly.

The old man lives on the second floor.

There is a second floor in the long-abandoned inn of the imperial court.

There are three rooms on the second floor, and the old man lives alone in the middle room.

The two rooms on the far left and the far right, due to disrepair for a long time, the roof has collapsed and big holes have been broken, and the beams have decayed under the sun and rain, making it impossible to live in.

So Chen Yuan could only live on the first floor, in this utility room in the backyard.

After returning to the room, he turned off the candles, and Chen Yuan lay on the bed. After half an hour, he still didn't feel sleepy.

Reluctantly, Chen Yuan opened his eyes and got up, and took out a dagger that he hid under the bed, the blade was dotted with dark yellow rust.

The dagger is seven inches long and short, thick and thick as a thumb, and dark in color.

There are no exquisite texture decorations, let alone treasures.

It's just Chen Yuan's family heirloom, a dagger used for body protection.

Because the time is too long, it has grown rust.

In ancient times, every trip was accompanied by huge risks, so Chen Yuan took this short sword with him for self-defense when he went out this time.

Chen Yuan tried it. Although the body of this short sword has rust, the blade is still sharp.

Coupled with the rust on the sword body, it is simply a sharp weapon with its own BUFF.

When encountering an old man before, Chen Yuan was very knowledgeable and quick to beg for mercy.

In addition, he may have other functions for the old man, so he did not reach the point of using this dagger. Later, he hid the dagger under the bed.

During the day, the old man made a request to accept an apprentice, and after Chen Yuan refused, he knew that now he had broken up with the old man, and it would be a matter of time before the old man took action against him.

Holding this short sword in his hand, although he was not sure if he was the old man's opponent, but with this short sword in his hand, at least Chen Yuan had the courage to resist the old man.

The ancients said: "A gentleman hides his utensils in his body and moves them when the time comes."

"If you dare to attack me, even if you die, you will tear off a piece of flesh and blood from this old guy."

Chen Yuan held the dagger in his arms, feeling the icy coolness coming from the dagger from his chest, he lay down on the bed again, a cold light shone from Chen Yuan's eyes in the dark room.

……

Three days are fleeting.

In Huayang Station.

Another six passers-by who entered the station to stay overnight.

Without anyone knowing it, he was turned into a black hog in the backyard pen by the old man with black magic.

As a result, the number of black hogs in the backyard pen increased to ten.

The passers-by who had just entered the inn felt that the stewed meat made by the old man in Huayang inn was very delicious, and everyone ate several bowls before giving up.

But he didn't know that his own catastrophe was imminent.

After eating the stewed meat, they all turned into black pigs within a short time.

Although Chen Yuan brought the dagger on his body again, he still couldn't find the right time to make a move.

Until this day, a special customer came to Huayang Station.

This person is wearing a white luxurious gown, holding a folding fan with a peony pattern in his hand, and his hair is tied up with a jade hairpin. He has an elegant and extraordinary temperament, and he is dressed as a scholar.

He looked like a young man not much older than Chen Yuan.

After the young scholar entered the Huayang post, he opened his mouth and said that he could bring any food in the post, and he was not short of money.

After the old man thought that he had met another good target, he served his specialty stewed meat, but the other party did not move his chopsticks.

Instead, he looked at the old man and said with a hint of joke in his tone:

"You used the magic technique of creating animals to turn passers-by into black pigs, then slaughtered the black pigs, and cooked them for other passers-by to eat. Have you ever thought about the sins you committed, and what will happen after you die?"

Originally standing next to the young scholar, the old man who had just served stewed meat, when he heard that his sorcery was broken by this person, his expression changed slightly.

He knew that he had met an expert!

I often walk by the river, so how can I not wet my shoes?

It is a matter of time before someone like him who practices black arts is approached by a capable expert.

Before the old man could speak, the young scholar looked at him and continued:

"You were originally an ordinary farmer in Xiangshui Village, Qinghe County, Fengyang Prefecture next door. Because you were dissatisfied, you were colluding with officials to bully your family's land, and died accidentally when your only son competed with the neighboring village for irrigation water for the field."

"I don't know where I learned a black art of making animals, so I simply fled to the Luzhou Mansion next door, where I killed ordinary people and practiced black art."

See how this young scholar knows his origin so clearly.

The trace of luck in the old man's heart disappeared without a trace.

He knew that this young scholar might not be the kind of ordinary cultivator who meddles in other affairs but doesn't have many abilities, but an expert with real abilities.

"You are an expert, and the old man's abilities are low, so I don't want to argue with you. I just asked if the expert knew that my only son, who was dependent on me, didn't just die in a fight with the neighboring village for water to irrigate the fields."

"It's just that the village is paying off the murderers of the old man's only son in the next village, so that they will deliberately kill the old man's only son."

"The old man reported the matter to the county government. Who would have thought that the dog official in the county would cover up Li Zheng? He wouldn't uphold justice for the old man, and he wouldn't ask me about injustice. He beat me up in the courtroom and threw the old man away. out."

"What the old man is doing now is just to seek justice."

"Since the officials and local officials are colluding and oppressing the people, and don't make decisions for the old man, I will seek justice for the old man myself."

The old man said in a deep voice.

When he spoke, his tone was frustrating and forceful, and his eyes were not afraid to look directly at the young scholar.

"Your family was oppressed by officials, and your only son died in vain. It stands to reason that you should seek revenge, but you really shouldn't kill ordinary people just to seek revenge."

"Do you know that in March when you were in Pingliang County, more than a hundred people died at your hands."

"What's the difference between you and Lizheng and Zhixian who are bullying your family?"

The young scholar said in a deep voice.

He never felt that a wicked person was born a wicked person.

However, he really couldn't sympathize with those who killed others in order to avenge themselves.

Those ordinary people who were poisoned by the old man, fell into his sorcery, and died tragically in a daze are so innocent.

"But the old man, I, Li Zheng, and that dog official magistrate are too far apart in status. If we can't do something extraordinary, how can we get revenge?"

The old man asked the young scholar back.

The young scholar said:
"Lizheng colluded with county magistrates to oppress goodness. After death, there will be a city god of the underworld to judge their crimes."

"You have done such a great evil, I can't forgive you."

But the old man said:

"Even after they die, there will be city gods of the underworld to judge their crimes, but I can't see the old man."

"Old man, I also don't want to wait for the Lord City God to judge their sins after they die, and let him live until the end of his life. That would be really cheap for them."

"I don't think the old man is a good person, and a good person can't take revenge."

"So when I made this decision, I was already prepared to be approached by an expert like you."

"I just hope that before being approached by an expert, I can avenge my only son. Now that an expert comes to my door, it seems that this old man will not be able to avenge his revenge."

The old man looked very open-minded.

Seeing the old man's expression, the young scholar couldn't help but pause.

He is also well-informed, but this is the first time he has seen a villain who is so persistent and sober like the old man.

"Forget it, your merits and sins will be judged by the city god of the underworld. I won't say more, you go."

The young scholar said.

While speaking, he waved the folding fan in his hand, and an invisible sharp sword slashed towards the old man two meters away.

The head of the old man flew out, his eyes were wide open, and there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes. The corpse fell to the ground, and his head was suddenly in a different place.

Then the young scholar turned his gaze to Chen Yuan who was standing aside.

"You hide the weapon in your body, are you going to fight him to the death?"

The young scholar could tell at a glance that the weapon Chen Yuan was hiding in his arms, he couldn't help laughing.

It was only at this time that Chen Yuan recovered from the series of events.

Seeing the old man who he thought was unfathomable before, was easily killed by the young scholar in front of him.

He hurriedly said respectfully and gratefully: "Thank you immortal for saving my life."

Hearing this, the young scholar looked at Chen Yuan with a trace of surprise in his eyes:

"You know I'm a fairy?"

Chen Yuan's thoughts turned sharply:

"Just now, the old man is proficient in sorcery, can transform humans into animals, and his strength is unfathomable. But to get rid of this old man so easily, in my opinion, he must be an immortal."

The young scholar immediately laughed when he heard the words:

"You guessed it wrong. The old man doesn't have much skill, but he just learned a sorcery called "creating animals" from somewhere."

Chen Yuan was surprised: "The art of making animals?"

The young scholar continued:
"That's right, Animal Creation."

"Actually, his strength is very weak, and he has not even stepped into the path of real cultivation. Even this "art of creating animals" has not been fully cultivated."

"It is precisely because of this that he took the risk of killing people and practiced the art of creating animals with heretical methods. As long as he kills 360 people, this spell will be fully practiced."

"As a matter of fact, as long as you are careful, don't fall into his schemes. You don't need a capable expert to step in. Even a strong man with a weapon in his hand and who has practiced fists and kicks can kill him. "

"If he hadn't been here, the commotion would have been too great, and I wouldn't have appeared here."

Thinking of the old man's suggestion two days ago that he wanted to accept himself as a disciple.

"Fortunately, I didn't agree to the other party."

Chen Yuan secretly rejoiced in his heart.

If he was forced by the situation that day, he agreed to worship the other party as his teacher.

Then he was bound together with this old man who had killed more than a hundred people.

Even if he sticks to his heart and doesn't do evil, it may be difficult to separate himself from the old man on the ground after this young scholar comes to his door.

"Although I don't know why the old man left you alone and didn't turn you into a pig, but seeing that you are not covered by sin, it seems that you are not the old man's accomplice."

The young scholar sized Chen Yuan up and said again.

"I don't know why he kept me, but according to the old man, it seems that I have another use for him."

Chen Yuan explained.

Hearing this, the young scholar looked Chen Yuan up and down carefully again.

This time, he seemed to see some tricks.

A look of surprise and surprise flashed in his eyes.

"So it turns out that your soul is inherently stronger than ordinary people. If you can turn you into a beast, one person will be worth more than ten ordinary people."

"However, because of this, it is extremely difficult to turn you into a livestock by using the animal creation technique on you, and the possibility of success is very slim."

"Even to a certain extent, you can be immune to the sorcery that the old man has not practiced yet."

The young scholar said.

At this time, Chen Yuan also realized that the reason why the old man didn't turn him into the second senior brother these days.

It's not that the other party doesn't want to attack him, but that the other party's animal-making skills don't work for him.

This can be seen from the pot of stew that the old man must bring to the table when eating these days.

Of course, he himself was careful enough not to give the old man a chance to harm him.

He thought the old man was unfathomable at first, but now that he thought about it, the old man might have a headache when he met him.

"Is this considered chicken pecking at each other?"

Chen Yuan couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.

Now it seems that the old man has no good intentions when he proposes to accept him as an apprentice.

However, no matter what kind of thoughts the old man had when he proposed to accept apprentices two days ago, now he followed the old man and was killed by the young scholar in front of him, everything is unknown.

"He practiced animal creation, and most of them have died tragically. There should be survivors, haven't they been mutilated?"

After Chen Yuan came back to his senses, the young scholar asked Chen Yuan.

"They are all locked up in a pen in the backyard. I usually take care of them. I will take the immortal there now."

Chen Yuan replied.

While speaking, Chen Yuan brought the young scholar to the enclosure in the backyard.

The young scholar stood outside the pen, fanning his nose with a folding fan, the pungent smell in the pen.

"You guys are lucky to meet me."

The young scholar looked at ten black hogs in the pen.

"It's all back to the source, let's go back to the way it was."

While speaking, he used the folding fan in his hand to slap the black hogs in the enclosure.

A gust of breeze blew through the pen, and the pungent smell in the pen was swept away. Not to mention, the ten black hogs of different sizes, under the gazes of Chen Yuan and the young scholar, turned back to their original form at the same time. people.
