Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 40 Delusion (The book is already fat, don't raise it)

Surprised, Chen Jin hurriedly dodged, the scene suddenly changed, and he came to the square on the village, in front of a small house with blue bricks and black tiles.

That is Qiu's ancestral hall, a mysterious place that is only open on the day of sacrifice.

Chen Jin was fostered in his grandfather's house, and strictly speaking, he did not belong to his own family. He was not qualified to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, and he never went in to see it.

He is quite curious now, and wants to sneak in to see what is enshrined in the ancestral hall when there is no one around.

Do whatever you want, and tiptoe over, but before you open the door, you hear a strange noise.

It was the sound of sharpening a knife, and then I heard the uncle saying: "The boy is coming back soon, I have to sharpen the knife, I will tie him up later, wipe his neck with the knife and let the blood out, just like killing a pig. Jie Jie, after more than ten years of raising her, she must have gained weight."

Chen Jin was horrified when he heard that, besides himself, who else is the "boy" in the uncle's mouth?
"Who? Who's out there?"

The uncle yelled violently, and rushed out with a knife in hand.

Chen Jin was terrified, turned around and fled, and quickly fled back to his room in the courtyard, closing the door tightly.

This is a plainly furnished room, with a bed, a chair, a desk, and a bookshelf against the wall. There were originally a dazzling array of books on it, but now most of them are empty.

Some of those books were burned, and most of the others were sold in the city.

Chen Jin was still in shock, but found someone in the room, standing in front of the bookshelf looking around, looking very anxious: "Where are the books, where are my books?"

""Landscape On Governance" is gone, "Liberal Arts Analysis" is gone, and my favorite "Zhimin Lun"!"

Hearing the sound of someone entering the room, he turned around abruptly, with a handsome face, as if he had been printed in the same mold as Chen Jin, but he looked much weaker.

This "Chen Jin" rushed over, grabbed Chen Jin's shoulder, and said grimly, "Give me back my book!"

"Give me back!"

Chen Jin couldn't help being in a trance for a while, with a sense of confusing confusion.

At this moment, he smelled the smell of incense, and a bright light shone, "Chen Jin" disappeared, the room disappeared, and the whole old Qiuzhuang ceased to exist.

Instead, there is a temple.

This is the Temple of Confucianism. Although it has been in decline, it looks like it has been through vicissitudes and is riddled with holes, but it still stands tall and has its own charm.

Chen Jin walked over, entered the temple, and saw that simple lamp, the fire was warm and clean, as if it could illuminate all the darkness in the world.

He immediately woke up in the light, panting heavily, and his clothes were wet with cold sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Looking out of the window again, it was gloomy, and the incense in the furnace had already been burned out.

I got up to fetch water, washed my body, changed my clothes, and then lay down on the bed, feeling calm:

The first time I got out of my body, the situation was much more dangerous than expected.

The biting cousin, the knife-sharpening uncle, and the life-threatening predecessor...

In fact, these are delusions formed by Chen Jin's subconscious obsession, suspicion, and scruples.

Illusion should not be underestimated. If you can’t see through it, if you can’t get out, you will be trapped in it, and you can’t get rid of it. If you are bitten to death, you are dead; if you are hacked to death, you are dead...

Once the soul dies, the person loses his soul and becomes a vegetable, leaving only an empty shell of his body. What's the point?
At the critical moment, it was the Confucian Temple in the inner landscape that played a role. The lamp of the natal soul illuminated the emptiness and made Chen Jin wake up.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is inevitable to encounter danger for the first time out of the body.When other practitioners try it, there will basically be masters and elders around them to protect the Dharma.

Chen Jin does not have a master, but with the support of the Confucian Temple, it is safer.After all, no matter how good the master is, it is also an external factor, while the interior landscape of the Confucian Temple is the foundation of his integration with himself.

With the first time, it will be much smoother to get out of the body later, and as time goes by, the night travel environment will be stable.

But in the initial stage, you have to take it easy, and the frequency should not be too frequent, so as not to hurt the primordial spirit.

He felt very tired and fell asleep under the blanket.

I slept soundly this time, and when I woke up, it was already noon the next day.The head is still a little groggy, which is the sequelae of getting out of the body.

"Conservation? Conservation, you are back!"

Wang Huaiyi's voice came, and he stepped into the house: "I came to look for you twice a few days ago, and when I saw the door locked, I thought you had moved out of the city."

Chen Jin replied vaguely: "I went to do some things."

Wang Huaiyi looked at him: "What's the matter with you? You look very bad, maybe you have a cold? Or, I'll accompany you to see the doctor."

Chen Jin waved his hand and said, "No, I might be tired."

"Then have you eaten yet?"

"just got up."

"Exactly, I didn't eat it either, let's go, I invite you to eat duck at Shiwenju."

The duck from Shiwenju and the roast chicken from Wuweizhai are the two famous foods in Gaozhou Fucheng.

Chen Jin asked: "Are you sure you want to go to Shiwenju? Their ducks are not cheap."

Wang Huaiyiman said indifferently: "It's expensive, but it tastes good."

Chen Jin felt the need to tell the truth: "Huaiyi, I have a good appetite recently and eat a lot."

Wang Huaiyi said proudly: "Shou Heng, what are you talking about? Is it possible that if I treat you to dinner, I can still starve you and not let you eat?"

Speaking of this, Chen Jin couldn't refuse.

A quarter of an hour later, there was an elegant seat on the second floor of Shiwenju.

Looking at the messy cups and plates and the pile of duck bones on the table, Wang Huaiyi was dumbfounded.

It turned out that what Chen Jin said "has a good appetite, eat a lot" is actually like this.

But this is too much to eat, there are three big fat ducks!There are several other vegetables and meat, as well as rice.

Wang Huaiyi had time to eat a few duck necks.

He couldn't help reaching into his pocket to weigh the silver, feeling a little flustered, it was obvious that the money he had on him was not enough to pay the bill.

How can this be good?

Overlord meals are not eligible to eat, it seems that they have to find an excuse to go home and get the money.

Chen Jin gnawed the last duck leg clean, put down the bone, finally felt a little full, and said with a smile: "The duck here tastes really good, I can't help but eat more, it makes Huai Yi laugh."

This is called "eating more"?
Wang Huaiyi hesitated and said: "Shou Heng, you were never so edible before."

"Hehe, I have recently learned martial arts from my uncle as my teacher. People who learn martial arts naturally have a good appetite."

Wang Huaiyi suddenly said: "So that's the case, but you have no reason, why did you go to learn martial arts?"

Chen Jin's eyes sparkled: "The world is not peaceful, learning martial arts can help you defend yourself."

"Pity."

Wang Huaiyi murmured, Chen Jin abandoned literature and martial arts, but at this age, what can he learn?Don't make it impossible to accomplish anything without writing.

Chen Jin suddenly said: "I eat most of the ducks, so I'll treat you to this meal."

"Ah, what can I do? Before you come, make sure I invite you."

"Invite me to tea later, I have something to talk to you about."

Chen Jin got up straight away, took out the silver and paid the bill.

Wang Huaiyi didn't say anything else, although he felt sorry, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
