Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 104

The wind blows the white waves, how do you want to return to the guests?

Flowers bloom early in Yanguo, and the spring boat carries rain.

Fear snakes and burn gall trees, prevent Gu species from decaying lotus.

The merchant's wife at the entrance of the cave often sends night songs.

……

In this era, long-distance travel is full of dangers. Fatigue and injury, bandits and beasts, even ghosts and evil spirits, etc., whatever you encounter, you can't bear to walk around.

Therefore, if people go on a long journey, they either go in groups or seek escorts from escort agencies, and very few go on the road alone.

Chen Jin is not alone, he has Xiaoqian with him.

It's amazing to say that since Xiaoqian has been with him, the journey has been busy, but the girl has gradually grown.

Just like a flower that was about to wither, it was nourished by the rain and then revived.

Her face is no longer so pale, but has a rosy color; the dark circles under her eyes are slowly fading away, at least she looks more normal; her long hair is gradually returning to black and glowing again.

This is how she looked like a normal girl. Before, she seemed to be a person with severe anorexia symptoms. When people saw her, they would feel an eerie aura.

In the final analysis, the changes in Xiaoqian are simple: eat well and sleep well.

According to her, in the past, when eating, she vomited while eating; sleeping every day was even more of a nightmare...

It's simply not a human life.

Now it's completely different, I can taste the food, sleep more peacefully, and sleep until dawn.

All in all: comfort!
Chen Jin felt relieved. Although he had made a statement with Li Laogui beforehand, it was a good thing to be able to help.

As for Xiaoqian's "diligence and obedience", that's another story.She has been living in the village and lacks social etiquette and experience in daily life, so she often makes a mess, and finally asks Chen Jin to clean it up for her.

Fortunately, Xiaoqian is a quick learner.

In fact, this road is not peaceful, the south of the Lingnan is barren, the official road is in a so-so condition, and there are very few pavilions on the roadside. There are no conventional five-mile short pavilions and ten-mile long pavilions here.Only after a distance of more than a hundred miles did there appear a small grass-roof pavilion for pedestrians to rest, and due to lack of maintenance, most of them were broken, unable to block the wind and rain.

In addition to road conditions and weather conditions, he also encountered wild animals and bandits, and even lived in a black shop.

However, under Chen Jin's sword, all of these were saved from danger.

In comparison, what Chen Jin was more wary of was the old monk who broke into the inner landscape of Niwan Palace from time to time.

This monk is definitely haunted.

Chen Jin knew in his heart that the root was in that golden Buddha.If the Golden Buddha is regarded as the body, then the old monk who comes into the dream is his spirit, the body is immortal, and the spirit never dissipates.

Under conventional means, the Golden Buddha is indestructible and cannot be damaged at all, so there is really no way to deal with it.

Chen Jinben had another choice, to throw it away, or give it away.

That is tantamount to disaster.

But he couldn't do it, and more importantly, Chen Jin couldn't do anything to the old monk, and the old monk couldn't do anything to him.

When the old monk discovered the Confucian Temple in the inner landscape for the first time, his defense-breaking demeanor was quite wonderful, almost swearing, and finally condensed into one sentence: "Amitabha."

Since then, the number of occurrences has dropped sharply.When he came again, it was Su Xiaowen who greeted him.

When the two sides met, there was no fierce scene of tit-for-tat. Instead, they sat face to face and started a debate.

One side is a great Confucian, and the other side calls itself "Buddha". There are indeed many topics that can be discussed or debated.

But obviously, in terms of knowledge reserve, broad-minded vision, and eloquence, the old monk is not Su Xiaowen's opponent, and every time he is refuted speechless, he leaves sullenly.

However, the old monk was not one to bow his head and admit defeat. After a few days of delay, he made a comeback.

The development of the matter to this point was beyond Chen Jin's expectation, and at the same time he was pleasantly surprised, just like the old saying: If you can't be hard, then be soft.

If the teacher can subdue the old monk by relying on his penetrating tongue, that would be fine.

Su Xiaowen has something to say about this: "Shou Heng, this monk is not very proficient in Buddhism, but he is a dead man, his mind is not flexible, and he needs to be given a blow."

Chen Jin said: "So, let him be handed over to the teacher."

"Very good, I'm in a hurry, teaching and reasoning is what my generation is good at, and let the old man have a good lesson with him."

When an "old man" meets an "old monk", the battle between the two elders is bound to be defeated.But Su Xiaowen was almost invincible with his back on Confucian Temple.

The teacher came out, and one was worth two. Chen Jin no longer needed to worry about this matter, and could concentrate on training and on his way.

On this day, after crossing the Qujiang River by boat, it is equivalent to leaving Lingnan and entering the land of the Central Plains.

The Central Plains is vast, with numerous prefectures and counties. It is an extremely prosperous area, which is not the same as the barrenness in the south of the Five Ridges.

To make a simple analogy, it is like entering the city from the countryside.

Chen Jin is a person who is good at observation and gathering information, but there are no newspapers in this time and space, and many things are learned through hearing.

"Heard and hearsay" means just that.

Since it is "heard", there are naturally true and false, and the true and false are mixed, and it needs to be analyzed and accepted by individuals.

What he cares most about is the general situation of the world today, whether there are still wars and so on.

There have been a lot of news spread in this regard. The core theory is that under the rule of the new emperor with an iron fist, the current situation of turmoil and war has been basically suppressed, and opposition forces from all over the country have gone underground. The most famous one is The faction is called "Tongwenhui", and it is playing the banner of "Working together, anti-martial arts and revival of literature".

The most resounding name is naturally Yan Nanfei, the chief rudder.

He is a strange person who wears a mask all year round. It is said that no one has seen his true face. He has a nickname, "White Horse Plum Blossom Gun".And his name comes from the meaning of "Jing Wen Nan, Yan Nan Fei".

Hearing this, Chen Jin suddenly felt a strong breath of rivers and lakes rushing towards his face, and even thought of the soul-stirring couplet: the earth vibrates on the high hills, and the streams and mountains are beautiful through the ages; the gate faces the sea, and the Sanhe River flows through the ages.

However, since ancient times, it has been difficult for civil organizations like this to do anything, because there are too many limitations.

The current reputation of the new emperor is indeed not good. Whether it is the gentry class or the common people, most of the comments they give are "violent and bloodthirsty".The main reason is that the actions of the inner factory are too cruel. No matter whether the inner factory is acting according to the order, or it is inflated and domineering, it is all under the banner of the emperor's minions.

Things above the temple are too far away, and Chen Jin has no way to get in touch with them. He is in the rivers and lakes, and he cares more about the changes around him.

Go out of Lingnan, enter Jiangnan, and go to Jiangzhou.

The journey was exhausting, and even a practitioner of martial arts felt the exhaustion of running around and wanted to take a good rest.

Today, they have already entered the border of Jiangzhou, and they are still a few days away from Jiangzhou City.

At dusk, Chen Jin took Xiaoqian to spend the night in a small town called "Genshui Town".

When night fell, another group of people came to the town, but twenty or thirty officials escorted a prison car.

There was only one inn in the town, and the officials were overbearing, and began to drive away the guests, trying to make room for them to live in.

"Bang bang bang! Open the door, open the door!"

These officials came upstairs and beat Chen Jin's room vigorously.
