Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 144 Windfall, Seven Star Inkstone

Come in the wind, go in the rain.

Chen Jin returned to the courtyard again, without any sleepiness.

After tossing all night, it was already early morning.The rain is gradually lightening and pattering.

Fortunately, it has weakened. If the heavy rain continues, it will definitely cause huge floods.

After changing into dry clothes and sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen Jin flipped his hands and took out something.

It was the inkstone sent by Hanhan before he died.

In order to see more clearly, simply light a candle and observe with the help of candlelight.

This inkstone is obviously an old object. It looks dilapidated and mottled after being soaked in water for a long time.

After reading the front, turn over the back.

"This is……"

Chen Jin focused his eyes, and saw a row of round protrusions on the front of the back, arranged very regularly, like stars in the night sky.

one two Three……

No more, no less, a total of seven.

"Seven Star Inkstone?"

He lost his voice and whispered.

This is a well-known inkstone, known as "Inkstone Treasure".

Of course, it does not mean that there is only one piece in the world, but that the stock is very small, and each piece has unique quality characteristics.

The piece in front of me is distinct and different, the surface is mottled and mottled, but it looks like pulp, and it feels extremely delicate to the touch.

Seven Star Inkstone...

Seven-color divine light...

Chen Jin suddenly thought of this, he didn't think it was a coincidence.

Could it be that the treasure emitting divine light is this inkstone?
Confucian Temple rare treasure?

Resisting the excitement in my heart, I immediately opened my Dharma Eye to look, and I saw a cloud of clear light, which is enough to show that the inkstone is extraordinary, and it already has the quality of a magic weapon.

After looking at it, it has to be verified practically.

So he took out the ink ingot, and after grinding it, he quickly felt the magic. The ink that came out was thick and black and clear, and there was a faint fragrance.

This is by no means an attribute of the ink stick itself.

Ink ingots are one of the four treasures of the study, but they are exquisite, easily damaged, and difficult to preserve.Chen Jin usually uses ordinary ink.

It is obviously the functional effect of the Seven Star Inkstone that can make ordinary things magical.

This alone is the treasure that scholars all over the world dream of.

Chen Jin was not satisfied and continued various experiments.

When the whole candle burns out, it finally comes to an end.

The results are quite gratifying.

The biggest surprise is that the ink that is ground with the Seven Star Inkstone can actually brew a literary charm, which is like a cornucopia.

Wenqi Shenyun is a good thing. It can not only calm the mind, let people express emotions, arouse sympathy, but also bless consecration.

For example, in Chen Jin's painting of fish before, he applied the literary spirit and charm to the statue of the fish god through brushstrokes to help stabilize the ghost of Hanhan.

Such a wonderful use is already the way of practice.

In theory, anyone who is a scholar has the opportunity to condense the charm of literature, but in reality there are many difficulties, and there is no one in a hundred.Even if there is, it is quite superficial, and it will be gone when it is used up.

And those famous masterpieces basically contain literary charm.

So far, Chen Jin has obtained the output of literary spirit and charm through "Li Yan Pian".

As long as it is a good thing, the more the better, especially the kind that can be regarded as "strategic materials".

However, he was not too clear about the production mechanism of the Seven Star Inkstone. He kept his sense of proportion and did not use it arbitrarily as soon as he came up.

It is the most stupid thing to fish in a dry marsh.

Hiding the seven-star inkstone in Hutian, this small treasure house has added another good thing, and I can't help but feel very happy.

So I stretched myself, only to realize that the sky was already bright, the sun was rising in the east, and the rain was over and the sky was fine.

The sun came out, but the various influences caused by the wind and rain in the city last night were lingering, turning into countless rumors in the market, whispering and whispering.

There are people talking about the bustling temple fair;

Those who argue about the merits of the works of the Wenkui Competition;

It is said that the birth of a rare treasure caused the entire Jinling River to be in a turmoil...

Even more daring, he denounced the tyranny of the inner factory and killed the fish god...

In response, the government quickly posted a notice saying that the iron-clad boat crashing into the Spring Tower painting boat was purely accidental, and that it was a sudden accident that occurred in severe windy and rainy weather. Compensation matters have been negotiated and the public opinion is stable;
As for shooting the fish god, according to Neichang spider guard's testimonial, it was not a fish god at all, but a fish monster.At that time, the fish monster was trying to attack and devour the person who fell into the water, and the soldiers of the inner factory had no choice but to shoot arrows in order to save the person...

Faced with such a notice, there are many voices of doubt, but there is no evidence.The families of the victims received compensation and accepted the cruel reality that "people cannot be brought back to life after death", so they stopped making troubles, and they couldn't make troubles anymore.

As for the identity of the "fish god", there was no other way. The big fish had disappeared, so it was impossible to come out and say anything.

With the testimony of others, it is difficult to prove whether it is a fish god or a fish monster.

Can't tell at all.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that such official notices and documents cannot come from the inner factory.The spider guards have always been ruthless and merciless in their work, and they will not explain anything to others. They can either arrest or kill them.

Who dares to refuse?
Therefore, it is naturally Wang's handwriting who issued this notice.

The Wang family is a famous family in Jiangzhou, which has been entrenched here for generations.After finishing work in the inner factory, you can leave with a pat on the butt, but Wang's can't.Therefore, in many ways, they will pay attention to the reputation and reputation of their clan, and will not make things into a mess, causing their reputation to be ruined.

What happened last night was really a big deal.

Those who shoot and kill the fish god, break the painting boat, and fall into the water are basically scholars with fame and reputation, even if they are only the lowest level of scholars.

In this regard, Wang would rather pay a large sum of money for compensation and keep her mouth shut.

In fact, they were also quite depressed. Last night they had been busy for half the night, but in the end they had nothing to fetch from the bamboo basket. They only saw the light of the strange treasure.

It's really inexplicable to say, the whole thing is weird.

However, the matter is extraordinary, which is itself weird, indescribable, and indescribable.

Fortunately, in the Wenkui Competition, the children of the Wang family accounted for more than half of the places, which was a consolation.

Although this is actually a self-consolation, it is a reputation after all.

……

"Young master, are you there?"

While speaking, Chu Xiucai walked into the yard.

At this time, Chen Jin was having breakfast with Xiaoqian.

The breakfast is very rich, there are deep-fried dough sticks and white porridge, pancakes and soybean juice, etc., there are seven or eight kinds, and the portion is very large.

Hearing Chu Xiucai's cry, Chen Jin put down his bowl and went out, and said with a smile, "Chu Xiucai, why are you here?"

Seeing him, Chu Xiucai breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "My lord, were you okay last night?"

"Hehe, I came ashore. I'm in the Confucian Temple. What can I do? But you stayed on the boat. Then there was a storm, the river surged, and the waves were rough. It was very dangerous."

Chu Xiucai suddenly said with a bitter face: "Speaking of it, it is really dangerous to shave your head. I almost went to see Lord Dragon."

"Oh, tell me about it."

Chu Xiucai immediately spoke in detail.

There were a lot of accidents last night, under Ji Sanniang's order, the boatmen took a risk, instead of mooring at the pier, they searched for a nearby shallow bay, dropped anchor and ran aground on the shore.Because of the continuous wind and rain and the chaos on the shore, no one dared to disembark, so they honestly stayed on board for the night.

When dawn breaks in the morning, everything is fine, and then they go back to their respective homes.

When Chu Xiucai came home, his wife, Xiuniang, had been waiting for her eyes and cried for half the night. When she saw him come back safely, she was so relieved that she passed out.

After working so hard all morning, he calmed down his wife and children, worried about Chen Jin, and hurried to the riverside again.

After listening, Chen Jin sighed: "Chu Xiucai, this time I invite you to board the boat, but I almost let you have an accident."

Chu Xiucai hurriedly said: "Such natural disasters and calamities are beyond human predictability and have nothing to do with your son. In fact, I should thank you very much."

"Thank you?"

"That's right, if I don't have the young master to invite guests, I won't be able to board the boat, so how can I see this world?"

Chu Xiucai said seriously: "Master, after you got off the boat, Ji Sanniang, the owner of Qiuyue Building, invited me upstairs. She was extremely polite. All of this is due to your credit."

Chen Jin frowned: "She wants to inquire about my situation?"

Chu Xiucai hurriedly said: "Yes, but I shouldn't say a word, I didn't say a word."

Chen Jin smiled slightly: "Is there anything I shouldn't say?"

Chu Xiucai was dumbfounded, unable to speak for a while.In fact, he wasn't sure which ones were taboo. The key was that Chen Jin had an indescribable sense of mystery, which was unpredictable and hard to find out.

He felt very clearly that Chen Jin seemed approachable without any airs, but there was an invisible gap between them, and they were not from the same world.

Chen Jin asked again: "From what you can see, why would Ji Sanniang inquire about me?"

Chu Xiucai thought for a while and replied, "I should ask you to compose poems and lyrics."

"It's that simple?"

"Ah, composing poems and lyrics is not easy... Uh, for the young master, it is really easy."

Knowing that she said something wrong, Chu Xiucai hurriedly made up a rainbow fart, and then explained: "The competition between the big spring buildings is fierce. In order to win, the girls under your command must not only have outstanding looks, but also have various talents. Skills, playing and singing, need to constantly launch new and powerful works..."

Speaking of this, when he saw Chen Jin staring at him, he thought something was wrong, and asked nervously, "My lord, is there something on my face?"

Chen Jin waved his hand: "No... I'm just wondering, isn't it the first time you have boarded the Spring Tower? How do you put it so well, like a veteran of Huashuong?"

Chu Xiucai touched her chin in embarrassment, and said embarrassingly: "I also asked the girls about these things when I was on the boat."

Chen Jin's face was stunned: "Haha, so I have had in-depth communication with the girls."

Chu Xiucai quickly shook his head: "My lord, don't misunderstand me. Although I spent the night on the boat, I didn't do anything. The relationship between me and the girls is clean and clear."

For some reason, upon hearing the word "innocent", Chen Jin felt a sense of joy in snickering.

Chu Xiucai also felt that the description was getting darker and darker, so he quickly changed the subject: "My lord, if there are no accidents, Ji Sanniang will come to invite you as a guest. In fact, not only the Qiuyue Tower, but also the other Chunlou Goulan."

Chen Jin asked: "Am I so popular?"

"Although this Wenkui Contest was held hastily, and it is suspected of being an official decision, it is a pioneering move in Jiangzhou, and its influence is not small. Your son, you turned out to be out of everyone's expectations. Just because of this , is hot enough.”

Hearing this, Chen Jin just smiled.

What "turned out" and "hot" are all flattering words of Chu Xiucai, which cannot be taken seriously.

But having said that, the entertainment industry is a vanity fair, and it is normal to praise the high and depress the low. It is not surprising that he has shown his face and gained some fame by being among the best.

Chu Xiucai asked expectantly: "My lord, if they come to invite you, will you agree?"

Chen Jin said: "It depends on the situation, the opportunity, and the reward."

Hearing the "three-look" condition, Chu Xiucai was a little confused again, especially when the word "remuneration" came out of Chen Jin's mouth, it felt weird.Since the opening of Sanwei Study, which of Chen Jin's various operations has he cared about the reward?
Chen Jin didn't explain too much: "Chu Xiucai, everyone has been tossing all night, the shop will be closed today, there is no need to open the door for business, go home and have a good rest for a day."

"Okay, listen to your son."

Chu Xiucai has no objection.

"If you hold this ingot of silver, it will shock you."

Chen Jin took out the silver and said.

Chu Xiucai rejected it subconsciously: "How can this make..." Dang met Chen Jin's quiet eyes, took it quickly, thanked him repeatedly, and then left.

After breakfast, Chen Jin came to the embankment on the river bank outside the door, and Xiaosheng followed him as usual.

Looking at the torrential river, which has risen a little, Chen Jin thought deeply: The terrifying storm seems to have passed, but the undercurrent hidden underneath is raging and will not subside at all...

……

Wang's Lane, Wang's main residence, inside the study.

After listening to the report of the last group of spies, Wang Zhixiang, who hadn't slept all night, leaned on the rattan chair, and he seemed to have aged several years overnight.

In this operation, Wang's teamed up with Neichang to overpower Jiangzhou. No matter if it is the government office, the patrol department, or the Maitreya Sect of the Tongwenhui, they all have to stand aside.

The plan went smoothly, the works were selected, the ceremony was held, and then the strange treasure was born...

In the wind and rain, the Wang family dispatched a large number of people to assist the inner factory in winning the treasure.

Speaking of "assistance", in fact, there may not be other thoughts, but before getting the treasure, these thoughts were naturally suppressed.

The strange treasure appeared in the river, adding a lot of difficulty to the competition.

But they had already prepared, not only a large number of "water ghosts" who are proficient in water, but also two master priests who are good at water escape.

When did things change?

No one knew that the storm had thrown everything into chaos.

The iron-clad boat in the middle of the river crashed into the painting boat; Tiqi from the inner factory on the bank and the chaotic party of the Tongwenhui got into a scuffle;

The most terrible thing is that the strange treasure appeared twice, and then disappeared without a trace.

Is it hidden in the bottom of the river?
Or have you already recognized the Lord and been acquired by others?
So far, no one knows.

Wang Zhixiang only felt a deep sense of unwillingness and depression, and he didn't think the matter was over like this.

not that simple.

Next, even if the Jinling River is reversed, even if the city is searched, the treasure must be excavated.

Things are just getting started...
