Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 10

The reason why Chen Jin didn't wait for Qiu Bugui to go back to the city together was mainly because he was hiding a lot of secrets, and he had to keep a certain distance from the people around him, so as not to be found out and difficult to explain.

It is a kind of subconscious self-protection.

You know, Uncle and the others are not ordinary people.

When entering the city, I quickly felt the tension in the atmosphere.The soldiers guarding the city gate all looked fierce, looking like they wanted to eat people.

In the city, there are not many pedestrians and vendors, and it is rather desolate and deserted.

Gaozhou Prefecture is located in the south of the Lingnan Mountains, so it is good to be affected by the turmoil.In several major counties in the Central Plains, they have been devastated by the flames of war, and military disasters are rampant, and they have not been able to recover so far, which is miserable.

Chen Jin's purpose is very clear, first find a bookstore to sell books.After asking, I found that the market for books has dropped a lot, and the price has dropped by about [-] to [-] percent.

But there is no way, the sale has to be sold.

I sold the money, put it in a bag, and transferred it to the Su family.

But on the door of the Su family's house, there is a big "seal" character, which means that the door is dilapidated.

After watching for a while, Chen Jin turned and left.

"Conservation?"

A low cry.

Chen Jin was startled, and raised his head to recognize the person: "Huaiyi?"

Na Huaiyi said pleasantly: "Conservation, it really is you."

Pulling it, he turned into a nearby courtyard, quickly closed the door, and said, "Shou Heng, when did you come out? How dare you linger here?"

Wang Huaiyi, Chen Jin's classmate and good friend, the two have a very close personal relationship.

Chen Jin replied: "My uncle used his connections to save me, and I'm fine."

Wang Huaiyi clapped his hands and said, "That's great!"

Chen Jin let out a sigh of relief: "It's a pity that the teacher can't be saved."

Wang Huaiyi sighed endlessly.

Feeling sad for a while, Chen Jin asked: "Huaiyi, do you have any news about my junior sister?"

"Little Junior Sister" is the affectionate name of Fang Jin, a student of the Su Clan.

Since he entrusted his uncle to find no one, Chen Jin himself had to look for it again.

This is what he promised the teacher.

Wang Huaiyi said: "The incident happened suddenly that day, and there was chaos. The husband was arrested and the junior sister disappeared. I also searched for it later, but I couldn't find it. I wondered if the husband had made arrangements to send the junior sister away from Fucheng. "

Chen Jin frowned: "I hope so."

Wang Huaiyi asked: "Shou Heng, what are your plans for the future?"

Chen Jin didn't answer directly, but asked instead, "What about you?"

"What else? I just continue to study and see if I can win the exam."

For most scholars, it is their lifelong wish to study for fame.Other than that, it's hard for them to do anything else.

Chen Jin said in a deep voice, "I think I won't take the exam again."

Wang Huaiyi persuaded: "Please think twice about conserving, your talents and writings are highly praised by the master."

"so what?"

Chen Jin smiled coldly: "Everyone like a teacher has ended up like this. In this era, when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason for it. Talented people learn articles, but they are all waste paper."

Wang Huaiyi only thought that he had been in prison and became cynical, and continued to persuade: "It is precisely because of this that we have to gain fame and fame. Only when we step into official careers can we bring order out of chaos and plead for the people."

There is impassioned meaning in the words.

However, Chen Jin is not optimistic. The officialdom itself is a big dye vat. If you want to innovate and change, you must start from the top.

From the bottom up, there is only one way to rely on.

Otherwise, you can't climb up at all.

But these reasons are not easy to say.

After chatting for a few more words, Chen Jin took his leave and left.

Watching his back, Wang Huaiyi was full of sighs, feeling faintly: Chen Jin has changed a lot, the former Chen Jin was full of passion, he liked to talk and give advice.

Thinking about it again, because of Su Xiaowen's involvement, these students need to change schools and learn from other teachers.Chen Jin was so upright that he was imprisoned and suffered such a catastrophe...

Chen Jin bought some dry food in the city, and also bought a strong bamboo stick. He took big strides out of the city and went to Goutoupo Yizhuang in the western suburbs of the city to deal with the affairs of the practitioner.

Su Xiaowen is not a local person, he was born as a second-class Jinshi, and later became a county magistrate, so he would have a bright future.It's just that his temper is upright and upright, which offended the powerful and powerful, which led to rebuffs everywhere in the officialdom, and was eventually demoted to Gaozhou resettlement.

The so-called "placement" is a form of relegation of officials, which is better than exile.

Su Xiaowen was hit by this, but he was open-minded, and he set up a school in Fucheng, where he was studying, and became a famous Confucianist in the local area for more than ten years.

Since his wife died of illness, he and his daughter Ajin have been living together.

In this accident, the original friends and disciples drew a clear line with it and avoided it; the daughter Ajin disappeared.

Su Xiaowen's body had no relatives or friends to collect it, so it was arranged by the government and left in the Yizhuang. It has been some time.

In Gaozhou Prefecture, there are actually several Yizhuangs, but those who died tragically and those who have no burials are all concentrated on the Goutoupo side.

Chen Jin didn't know the way, so he asked someone on the way. When the person heard the word "Goutoupo Yizhuang", he immediately showed awe, pointed in the direction, and ran away quickly.

Walking along the direction, deviated from the official road, the scenery around is gradually deserted.

In the past, Chen Jin would not have dared to come here alone, but after learning the sword, his courage has changed dramatically.

After walking for several miles, I saw a slope in front of me, shaped like a dog's head, and there was a black building at the bottom of the slope, which was small and square.

Arrived.

He let out a breath, and didn't rush to go there. He found a nearby tree, took out the dry food he had bought under the shade of the tree, ate food and water, and filled his stomach first.

The weeds rustled over there, and after a while, a dog's head poked out, and a pair of eyes had a faint green light flickering.

Some wild dogs dig graves and gnaw corpses, eat too much carrion, become evil, and have green lights in their eyes.

It is no longer a wild dog, but a "corpse dog".

Not afraid, Chen Jin reached out and picked up a stone the size of an egg, and smashed it hard.

With a bang, he hit the corpse dog directly on the forehead.

The corpse dog groaned in pain, turned around and ran away.

After eating dry food, we continued to move forward, and soon came to the gate of Yizhuang, and looked at it: it was a square house, about 100 square meters, with blue walls and black tiles, and a dark door, which looked gloomy.

"There are guests!"

But it was a starling with pitch-black feathers. It stood under the eaves and almost merged with the house. If you didn't observe carefully, you couldn't see that there was a living thing there.

This starling is spiritual, and he opens his mouth to call, and his words are correct.

Then with a hook of its claws, it pulled a row of wind chimes under the eaves, ding ding dong dong, and they rang.

The wooden door of Yizhuang babbled open, and a person came out. It was a young Taoist priest in sloppy robes, about [-] years old, with scorched yellow hair tied up randomly, with an ebony hairpin inserted, beardless, wine-like nose, and a few pus growing on his cheeks. Sores, a pair of small eyes were bloodshot, red, and looked quite fierce.

Chen Jin's eyes were suddenly attracted by the things behind the Taoist priest.

That is a big sword!
