Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 118
(Please subscribe, scroll for full order!)
Chen Jin has always been consistent in his work. Finding Wu Shoutian's body is only part of the errand. Solving the evil Wu Aifang is the root cause:

"But the village chief, you have to cooperate."

Hearing this sentence, Wu Aping asked tremblingly: "How should the official cooperate?"

Chen Jin said: "Look for a big fat rooster, a few catties of rice, firewood, and a load of clean water..."

The old village head thought he was going to set up an altar to do it, so he quickly sent someone to do it.

But it was strange to see Chen Jin busying himself by the well, digging holes, making soil, and laying bricks.

Wu Aping couldn't help asking: "My lord, what are you doing?"

"Cook."

Wu Aping: "..."

There is a feeling of irony: "If the official is hungry, please go to the house to eat."

Chen Jin waved his hand and said, "I like to do it myself."

When the big rooster arrives, immediately start boiling water and slaughter it.

This quick movement made Wu Aping dumbfounded: the painting style is too different from what he imagined, and he couldn't keep up with it at all.

Chen Jin took out a piece of broken silver: "This is the money for buying ingredients."

How could Wu Aping dare to accept: "The officials handle the case, and we ordinary people should cooperate. How can we accept the money from the officials? It's a shame."

Chen Jin didn't like to take people's things for nothing, so he forced them to go: "You can go away, there may be something happening tonight, don't come out to watch the excitement."

It is for their own good not to let the villagers come out, lest they encounter evil spirits, be shocked by the evil spirits, be frightened, or even get sick.

Wu Aping and the others waited for this sentence, and ran away as if they had received an amnesty.On the way to leave, there was a lot of discussion, thinking that Chen Jin acted strangely and was a weird person.

How can there be a fire to cook on the spot when handling a case?
How can people give money for a chicken?
However, they could all feel that this strange official was a master, and even a good person.

Can make people feel at ease.

Time passed quickly, and it was dusk.

This corner of the village was originally barren and full of desolation, but now, there is a strong smell of meat.

The chicken is done roasting.

Chen Jin started to eat, grilled rice, drank, and threw aside the dry food he was carrying.

He has requirements for the quality of daily life.Since there is delicious food, why bother yourself to eat unnutritious dry food?

Food is the most important thing for the people, and it is inevitable for practitioners to avoid the vulgarity.And to eat better and finer.

You can't get tired of fine food, and you can't get tired of cooking.

That's what it means.

When night fell, a young villager brought an oil lamp, put it down, and ran away as if fleeing.

An old oil lamp casts a dim light.

Under the lamp, Chen Jin took out a book from the pot, and read it slowly.

Since starting "Li Yan Pian", he has always carried books, pens and ink with him, which can be regarded as a change in the focus of his practice.

Liyan means not only reading and writing, but without reading and writing, it is impossible to "liyan". There is a subordinate relationship between the two.

Although Chen Jin had already memorized the relevant formulas, those formulas were quite esoteric and obscure, and it was difficult to understand them.

For this reason, he specifically asked Su Xiaowen for advice.

Thanks to the existence of this senior teacher, I have benefited a lot from explaining Chen Jin's analysis.

The previous "Ligong Pian" corresponds to "Yongzi Eight Swords", which is martial arts and swordsmanship, so Su Xiaowen naturally can't help; but when it comes to "Li Yan Pian", it is different. It is what Su Xiaowen is good at.

As a result, Chen Jin got rid of the embarrassing situation of relying on his own exploration without the guidance of the master.

In such a situation, it is equivalent to a great Confucianism completely giving Chen Jin a small lesson. Can his grades improve by leaps and bounds?
Su Xiaowen even said that as long as he followed him to read books and write articles for half a year, Bao Chen Jin would be able to pass the exam.

Chen Jin had no doubts about this.

The so-called educational resources focus on teachers.Who is Su Xiaowen, he really has a thorough understanding of the imperial examination articles.

Although the new emperor ascended the throne and reformed the imperial examination system, in the initial stage, the essential things are still the same. As long as the form fits, there will be no problem.

For scholars all over the world, the imperial examination is always the best way out.

Although Chen Jin is no longer a pure scholar, he will not reject a bright future, and if he wants to achieve many ideas and concepts, he must have a sufficient identity.

In any case, reading is a pleasant thing.

Even if the environment you are in is like a wilderness.

The sky was completely dark, and the bright moon rose, but it was shrouded in a cloud and looked hazy.

It was quiet all around, except for this oil lamp, every house in the whole village was pitch black.

Lamp oil is expensive, and most farmers cannot afford to light lamps, so they go to bed early.

But tonight, I am afraid that everyone dare not fall asleep, but hide at home to listen to the movement, if something is wrong, they will run away immediately.

If it was not impossible, he might have fled during the day.

In fact, they didn't know what was going to happen, they only confirmed that Wu Aifang's soul was still there and claimed Wu Shoutian's life.

The matter itself is enough to be horrifying and frightening.

Suddenly there was another cry in the darkness, it was Wu Shoutian's mother.The woman passed out and cried when she woke up.

Crying and mourning, vaguely mixed with cursing...

The wind picked up suddenly, thick fog was born, and it came out of the mouth of the well.

Cuckoo!
It sounded like water in a well.

After a while, a figure slowly climbed up from the well.

The clothes on her body are bright red, with long sleeves and wide body, and the pleated skirt drags the floor, it looks like a wedding dress.

However, her belly was bulging, and her face was like a bloated rotten steamed bun, ugly and terrifying.

Chen Jin put down the scroll and looked at it with a calm face.

Wu Aifang appeared, ready to pounce, but when she got close to Chen Jinzhangyu, she stopped immediately, as if she was frightened, and hurried back to the mouth of the well.

Chen Jin's third level of Martial Dao "washing the marrow", his whole body was full of energy and blood, and the Yanghuo lamps on his shoulders were burning like torches. These were not decorations, they were the most deterrent to evil spirits.

The reason why wandering arresters like Uncle Guan dare to accept the reward task and come out to deal with evil spirits is because of their martial arts cultivation.

As for who wins in the end, it depends on who is more powerful.

Now it seems that Chen Jin is holding Wu Aifang firmly.

Unexpected.

In fact, if you want to get rid of Wu Aifang, the key is not how to kill, but how to attract the other party to show up.

Uncle Guan and the others came to the village to investigate the case, not to mention that they didn't notice the abandoned well. Even if they found it, they couldn't find Wu Aifang.

It's all because Wu Aifang won't come out at all.

What can be done then?
Throwing stones down a well?
Bulldoze and fill sand?

All are useless.

Xie Chong itself has no entity at all. Without the blessing of some special means, ordinary warriors can't even see each other.

Chen Jin is different, not that he is better than others, but that he has an identity that others do not have:
He is also a scholar!

It is precisely because of this that Wu Aifang came out.

Only after seeing each other above can we proceed to the next step.

If it can be killed directly, it will be easy and easy, but if it is difficult, the opponent will escape.

Right now, Wu Aifang felt the thick energy and blood on Chen Jin's body, immediately sensed the danger, and then backed away.As long as Chen Jin moves slightly, she will go back into the deep well again.

At that time, digging three feet is useless.

Under such circumstances, other means had to be used to stabilize her.

However, the evil spirit has already lost its intelligence and is completely dominated by obsessions, making it difficult to communicate normally.

Fortunately, Chen Jin has another method: open up to the secluded.

The Earth Sha 72 technique is rich in functions and covers all aspects. It has been passed down to this day. Although it has been castrated a lot and its power has been greatly reduced, it is still quite practical in specific scenarios.

With the method of Tongyou, the surrounding fog deepened, and even the moonlight could not shine in.

At the beginning, the communication with Wu Aifang was not smooth. Her obsession was extremely strong, and she wanted to kill all the talented people in the world, including Chen Jin.

This is the extreme point of obsession.

It stands to reason that Wu Aifang was deceived by the son surnamed Wang and ended up with two dead bodies. There are many kinds of obsessions that can be born:

For example, hate those with the surname "Wang";

Another example is hating dudes;
But what she hated was the "scholar", which was somewhat biased. It may be that at that time, the son surnamed Wang deliberately showed off his fame as a scholar in order to hook up with him, which made Wu Aifang fall in love with him.

This makes sense.

When it came to Chen Jin, fame as a scholar was a prerequisite for triggering the case, but it caused subsequent obstacles.

At the critical moment, it was still the enlightenment function of the Confucian Temple that played a positive role and appeased Wu Aifang.

In the sorrowful confession, Chen Jin understood more clearly what happened to Wu Aifang back then.

"I want revenge!"

The roar was silent, full of ferocity.

Chen Jin said word by word: "The injustice has its head, and the debt has its owner. You shouldn't hurt the innocent."

"I want revenge, I must take revenge..."

Wu Aifang kept repeating this angry emotion.

At this point, it is already a dead end.

Even if Chen Jin is pregnant with the Confucian Temple, he can't enlighten and enlighten the other party, so that the other party can let go of their hatred.

Perhaps after mastering "Li De Pian", through the role of "morality", Wu Aifang can "return to the shore".

But now, he can't.

And, even if it could be done, should it really be done?

Those who die in vain sink into the sea of ​​misery, and those who do evil get away with it.

This is not the situation Chen Jin wants to see.

What is the use of learning a sword?
What is the use of learning?
Some things have to be done by someone.

He suddenly said, "I can avenge you."

"you help me?"

"good."

"Why should I trust you?"

"You have no better choice."

Wu Aifang remained silent.

Chen Jin didn't urge him, and put his hands behind his back, with a calm expression on his face.

After a while, Wu Aifang suddenly knelt down and said, "My family, I would like to thank you for your success, but I hope you will do what you say."

Chen Jin smiled: "What I promise to others, I will definitely do."

"it is good!"

Wu Aifang smiled sadly, and her figure began to melt in the thick fog. A moment later, with a ding, something fell on the edge of the well.

two pieces.

One is pitch black, about the size of a child's palm, and it's neither iron nor wood.

It's not the first time Chen Jin has obtained this item, but this one is slightly larger than the one dropped by "Xing Catcher";
The other one is a copper hairpin, which is full of rust.

It was the so-called "Love token" given to Wu Aifang by the prince.

Chen Jin stepped forward to pick it up and sighed quietly.

The thick fog dissipated, and the surrounding area became clear again, and the oil lamp was dim.

He sat on the ground, stopped reading, and practiced breathing.

One night passed, and at dawn, a rooster crowed.

The crowing of the rooster brought vitality to the village, indicating that the night had passed safely and no disaster had occurred.Otherwise, it may be the result of "the chicken and the dog don't stay".

Wu Aping, who didn't sleep well all night, came surrounded by young and strong villagers, and soon saw Chen Jin sitting by the edge of the barren well.

The figure is still the same, wearing a bamboo hat and a green shirt, which has a sense of elegance.

"Master!"

Wu Aping hurried forward to salute.

Chen Jin stood up: "The matter has been resolved, and there will be no more evil spirits."

"Thank you, sir."

Hei pressure knelt down.

Chen Jin: "..."

He doesn't like being kneeled by people, he always feels uncomfortable, but this is the case in this world, people kneel down easily, whether they feel fear or awe, or gratitude, they all like to use the behavior of "kneeling" to express it.

Then go with them.

In fact, Chen Jin knew in his heart that the villagers would not fully believe him. After he left, he would definitely seal the well, and then invite a certain half-immortal to exorcise evil spirits.

Chen Jin didn't care about those things, he just had to do his own thing well.Without further ado, he used his body skills, left Wushan Village, returned to Jiangzhou City, and went straight to the Siyamen for patrolling and arresting.

"Have you completed your mission?"

The fan servant with the mustache had a dull expression on his face, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Chen Jin briefly talked about Wu Aifang's matter, and finally modified the process, saying that it was beheaded.

"Is there any token?" asked the fan servant.

Such a thing cannot be taken for granted.

Chen Jin took out the ghost heart: "Is this thing feasible?"

Fan Yan was knowledgeable, and immediately said: "Sure enough, he killed Xie Chong."

"And my bounty?"

"It can be sent to you now, but Chen Youchu, according to the rules, this ghost heart should be recovered by the patrol department. Don't worry, the price will not be lower than the outside market."

"it is good."

Chen Jin had no choice but to pretend that the material was dirty, but it was of no use to him, so it happened to be cashed out, and it saved him from having to find a buyer outside.

The Patrol Division made such a rule, on the one hand, because ghosts and gods are valuable and are rare things, and they are recycled, which is of great use;After all, it is difficult to determine whether the task about evil spirits released outside has been completed.

The evil mission is different from others. If it is a monster corpse, if there is a body, physical evidence can be taken.

And the most direct proof of killing evil spirits is to get ghost hearts.

Of course, if a person has multiple ghost hearts, he can cheat rewards, but if he cheats once, he has to recover one ghost heart, and sooner or later the recycling will be completed.

This will not cause any loss to the patrol department, and the hundreds of taels of silver cheated are nothing compared to the dirty materials.

What's more, a character who can easily kill evil spirits, how could it be so short of money?

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Jin walked out of the patrol department, feeling happy.

The last time I came here was to make money for an emergency, but now I have come back with a full reward.

Originally thought it would take several days, but now it can be done in two days.Once you have mastered the means and skills, making money suddenly becomes easier.

But he didn't go back to the house, but went to another place.

What is promised must be done.

No need to wait overnight!
