Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 129 Killing Maitreya by coincidence, epiphany for the audience
After learning about what the Maitreya Sect was doing, Chen Jin concluded that the other party must have made an action tonight, and wanted to send down "disaster retribution" as a warning to everyone else.

And to deal with a study, arson is the most deterrent way.

Because no one lives in the shop, and they are not afraid of burning people to death.

We must know that in various cases, whether a person is dead or not is an extremely important basis for judgment.

As long as there is no death, it is considered a small case, and the yamen officials can slowly investigate and handle it.

The Maitreya Sect has a good grasp of this measure.

Now that he had expected it, Chen Jin naturally took precautions, went back to the courtyard, and took Xiaosheng back to the study after dinner.

Xiaosheng is smart and obedient, he doesn't need to be tamed deliberately, he has already become a real spiritual pet.

Having a spiritual pet by your side is equal to an extra arm.

Like Gu Leyou's starlings, they are used for reconnaissance and patrolling, and tipping off the news, which is really useful.

Now Chen Jin also has a little sage. Although he can't open his mouth to speak, he can compare gestures, and he also shows a talent for dictation and writing.He is agile in stature, good at hiding, and can even learn martial arts.

These kinds of specialties are by no means comparable to starlings.

Chen Jin sat in the study to adjust his breath and exercise his kung fu, while Xiaosheng went outside to watch the wind, and waited until late at night for the white-haired incense master to arrive.

This guy had a red scarf on his head and a white robe, so bright and outstanding in the night.Judging by his attire, it is obvious that he is not an ordinary Maitreya disciple, and his blood is quite strong, he is a strong fighter.

The arson work is going to be done by the higher-ups?
Before he had time to think about it, Chen Jin struck first, stabbed down with one sword, followed by the second sword...

Instead of sealing his throat with a sword, he cut off the pipa bone on the right shoulder of the white-haired incense master, and then carried him to the remote and uninhabited river for interrogation.

As for Xiaosheng, he will continue to stay to look at the store, and is also responsible for cleaning up the traces on the ground.

The white-haired Xiangzhu's bones were quite hard, he endured the severe pain, but he didn't say a word.

Chen Jin caught him, kept him alive, and searched his body first, but found no tokens that could prove his identity, but instead found a stack of bank notes, about two or three hundred taels, which was considered a small windfall.

As for other situations, I can only try to pry his mouth open:

"The old man has nothing to say, but you, if you dare to kill me, you will be condemned by the new Buddha, and you will die without a place to die."

"You really don't want to say it?"

"I won't tell you if you kill me."

Chen Jin had no choice but to beat him to death, then tied stones to the body and threw it into the Jinling River to feed the fish.

Looking at the rolling river, Chen Jin sighed a little. He hid in Confucian Temple Street and opened a shop. He really just wanted to do something interesting, sell some calligraphy, and slowly speak up.I never thought of being hostile or conflicting with others.

But life is like this, trouble always comes unexpectedly.

Kill the other party tonight, but the Maitreya Cult will definitely be suspicious, and then send another man...

But he didn't know that Jiang Youcheng's fan had blown away the Jiangzhou branch of Maitreya Sect.

After being hit hard by this, how could the Maitreya Sect have the time to take care of the Sanwei Study?

The night passed.

Chu Xiucai rushed over early the next day. He didn't sleep well all night, and had a dream in a daze.

When I saw the intact shop, I breathed a long sigh of relief, opened the door and entered, and started today's business.

At the same time, I feel puzzled in my heart.

The "disaster retribution" brought down by the Maitreya religion never lasts overnight, so why is the study safe and sound?
Could it be that something happened last night, but it was undone?
However, Chu Xiucai has now learned a lot of tricks to get along with Chen Jin, the most important of which is not to ask questions.

So when Chen Jin came to the store with Xiaoqian, Chu Xiucai had no problems and could only do her own thing in peace.

Today, there is still an endless stream of people who come to buy the calligraphy of the man in the Tao, but the answer they get is without exception: it is out of stock.

Chen Jin didn't write it, so naturally he couldn't sell it.

Mouse Xiang also came and brought a rather shocking news that the incense altar of the Maitreya Sect was attacked last night and many people died.The servants of the government office and the patrol department were all alarmed, and they took action one after another to investigate and arrest.It is said that the one who did it was a member of Tongwenhui.

Hearing this news, Chu Xiucai suddenly understood that this was the reason why the study was safe.

It seems that he was lucky and escaped unharmed.

He didn't doubt Chen Jin, after all, no matter how you look at it, Chen Jin couldn't have done such a major event.

Chen Jin did not attack the Jiangzhou branch of the Maitreya Sect, he didn't even know the location, but he gave Shen Jiang an unidentified Maitreya Sect white-haired old man.Looking back now, it suddenly became clear: it turned out that the other party did not come to set the fire, but fled and passed by, which was purely coincidental.

But to kill is to kill, there is no wrongdoing.

After this incident, in Jiangzhou, the vitality of the Maitreya Sect has been seriously damaged, and it should stop for a while.

But for the Jiangzhou Government Yamen and the Patrol Department, they have a headache, so many people died overnight, it is definitely a big case.

The most important thing is that the murderer is the remnants of Tong Wenhui.

Where there are Tongwenhui activities, there must be Tiqi from the inner factory to encircle and suppress.

Jiangzhou is full of wind and rain again.

Chen Jin was thinking, who is the powerful person in Tongwenhui this time?
He has a good impression of the heroic chief helmsman. He thinks that the other party is a great hero and has no pretensions in his behavior.At that time, I suppressed my curiosity, didn't lift the mask of the other party, and saw the true face, but I didn't regret it.

If you really read it, it's called trouble.

Chen Jin has always been measured in his work, knowing how to advance and retreat.

At least at this stage, he is unwilling to get too involved with Tongwen.

When the branch of the Maitreya sect was destroyed, Chu Xiucai was overjoyed and almost shouted "I have done a lot of evil, and I am not happy with the retribution".

He has long hated Maitreya Sect's unscrupulous behavior of extorting people's wealth, but he has no ability to change it.

Now that a chivalrous person has made a move, the vision in his heart has just come true, and he feels relieved from the depression and bitterness in his heart, and feels extremely happy.

However, that chivalrous man is from the Tongwenhui, if Chu Xiucai dared to cheer for it, wouldn't he be courting death?

If you don't pay attention, you will be reported to the yamen, and even the spider guards in the inner factory will be alarmed, and you will really die without a place to die.

Therefore, it is good to be secretly happy for a while.

I believe that there are many common people in the city like him at this moment.

Mouse Xiang came here mainly to see if he could buy characters, but when he heard if he hadn't, he had to return disappointed.

The temple fair was approaching, and the streets became more and more lively. Chen Jin asked Chu Xiucai to watch the store, and was going to go out again.

Xiaoqian hurriedly said: "My lord, I want to go too."

Chen Jin said: "I want to go to the Confucian Temple."

"I can do it, I'm not afraid now."

Xiaoqian straightened her body and said.

She hadn't paid much attention to it, but as her figure grew, Xiao He's pointed horns were already exposed.

After the age of 15, the cardamom age, in the Qian dynasty, belongs to the girl's family.

Chen Jin had no choice but to take her out to the streets.

Speaking of which, I really haven’t really gone shopping seriously. In the past, I mainly went to various stores for research, and at that time, Confucian Temple Street was empty and deserted. Compared with now, it’s like a different street.

All kinds of vendors, all kinds of business, dazzling, the most eye-catching is the style of street performers, every other, there is a booth, monkeys, snakes, knives, fire breathing...

It made the audience gasp in amazement from time to time.

"Wow, everyone, come and watch, there is a beheading performance here, the head is chopped off, and it comes back to life after being picked up."

Someone was screaming.

Crashing, the spectators were crowded and formed a large circle.

"My lord, shall we go and have a look?"

Xiaoqian excitedly tugged on Chen Jin's sleeve. Although she is a cultivator, Ghost Cultivator has always lived a secluded way of life. She doesn't know much about the outside world, and many things are novel.Along the way, I bought seven or eight kinds of snacks alone, and my cheeks were full.

The two of them passed by and saw that the crowd was so densely packed that they couldn't squeeze in at all.

"Sir, what should I do?"

"Ride on my shoulder and see."

Xiaoqian frowned: "Is this okay? Then you can't see it?"

Chen Jin replied: "I didn't want to watch it."

"Well."

Xiaoqian skillfully climbed onto his shoulders, condescending and seeing clearly.After staring at it for a while: "One glance is fake, I haven't practiced my kung fu well enough, so I won't watch it."

slipped down.

Chen Jin had expected this for a long time. Even if the street juggling tricks originated from earth magic, the inheritance has long since changed beyond recognition, and he can't practice the real skills.If he really had the ability, he wouldn't have to do this hard work of making a living.

Maybe there will be high-level people who play the world of mortals during the period, but the chances are really low, and it won't be so easy to run into.

Experts themselves are rare enough.

The two continued to walk forward, and watched a few more bustling booths, and they regarded it as entertainment and relaxation.

Finally, when I came outside the Confucian Temple, I looked up, and I could see with the naked eye that a large area of ​​incense smoke was shrouded and lingering.

Although there are still two days left before the first day of the temple fair, there are already a large number of people entering the temple to offer incense, and they have never stopped from morning to night.

These are not only scholars, but also people from many other industries, which seems to be mixed.

During this grand day, the Confucian Temple is equivalent to opening the door to convenience, and all comers are welcome.

The ghosts and gods in the world are divided into temples, but the common people don't care about so many, as long as they hear of a temple showing spirits, they will flock to it.Maybe even after worshiping the Buddha in the morning, go to worship the Heavenly Lord in the afternoon...

The concept of common people is very simple, they will not worship only one family, but worship whichever one thinks it works.

It is just like Wang Huaiyi's purpose: worship more gods and have gods bless you.

Such behavior may be foolish, but what they want is peace of mind.

The incense gathered, the smell was strong, and the smoke covered it. Chen Jin opened his eyes to look, but was blocked by the grid, and he looked hazy and couldn't see clearly.

Indistinctly, one can feel that the literary spirit and charm in the Confucian Temple is becoming mottled and muddy due to the innumerable incense.

This is tantamount to a type of impact damage.

Can it not hurt?
The master of the Confucian Temple reads to educate and educate people to become talents. Now it is good. Those who seek money, those who seek safety, and even those who seek marriage and children are all pouring in.

In such a situation, no matter how pure the literary spirit is, it cannot withstand the confusion of many impurities.

The so-called awe-inspiring righteousness has long been a legend.

There is no way, this is the result of today's worship atmosphere.Just like the Fish Temple on the edge of the river beach, the original intention of building the temple is to commend the big fish for saving people, and to remember the kindness.However, with the development of the situation, the Temple of Fish has become a place sought after by everyone, and people come to ask for anything, and even become a tool for some people to make money.

Once the atmosphere is formed, it is difficult to change.

When Chen Jin came to the Confucian Temple again today, he wanted to rely on his eyes to see if he could spot some opportunities, but now that he saw it, it was probably a waste of effort.

But he was not reconciled, so he went into the temple and took a closer look.

"Xiaoqian, if you feel uncomfortable, you should speak up in advance."

Chen Jin exhorted.

Xiaoqian smiled and said, "It's different now. Ever since I started practicing the spell, my mother has become very peaceful, and she hasn't been restless for a long time. Now I come to the Confucian Temple with the young master, it is also for the purpose of cultivating temperament, which is beneficial."

Indeed it is.

As long as the mother in her body can accept the form of the Confucian Temple, it will be a great improvement, and it will be quite beneficial to practice.

Chen Jin didn't say any more, and led her up the steps, formally entering the Confucian Temple.

Starting from the Wanren Palace Wall, wander around everywhere.

This time it's a stroll, a quick look at the flowers, not a visualization.

Visualization is meaningless.

What's more, in the current situation, people are everywhere and the voices are noisy, so it is impossible to calm down and visualize.

"It's so noisy."

Xiaoqian couldn't help muttering: "It feels noisier than when I go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables."

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Do you regret coming?"

Xiaoqian shook her head: "This is actually a kind of practice."

Chen Jin was thoughtful: "It is indeed a practice to find tranquility amidst the noise."

It is said that the rolling of the world of mortals is the best way to temper the heart of Taoism. Isn't there a lot of hustle and bustle in the rolling?

Thousands of people came to this Confucian Temple in an endless stream. Different people and different appeals intertwined here, thus creating this lively and complicated scene.

Although it is noisy, it is full of the breath of life, including all kinds of joys, sorrows and joys...

This is sentient beings.

In the method of visualization and induction, there are two well-known sayings, one is "observing the world" and the other is "observing life".

The focus of the latter is not on "viewing", but on "living beings".If you want to wait and see, you must first find out where the "living beings" are.

The concept of sentient beings is huge to say the least, so it is said that "everything is sentient beings".But you can't find it in crowded places, it represents an attitude, a form.

At that moment, standing on the edge of Panchi in the Confucian Temple, surrounded by people coming and going, Chen Jin suddenly had an epiphany, as if he saw all living beings.

This is a kind of opportunity that can't be met, and he immediately caught it, and then he became calm and began to visualize:
Faces with different faces emerged, including happy smiles, anxious expressions, sweaty cheeks, and pious eyebrows...

After seeing many faces, they were superimposed one by one and gradually merged together...

Xiaoqian quickly felt the strangeness of the young master. She was a delicate mind, and she understood in an instant, knowing that Chen Jin had obtained some kind of subtle insight.

The perception is most afraid of being interrupted.

But the surrounding area was too noisy, people were walking around, the girl couldn't help feeling worried, she quickly spread her hands to protect Chen Jin's side, preventing anyone who came and went from touching the young master's body...
