Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 81

Before coming down, Chen Jin had already observed it, and then set out if there was nothing unusual. Unexpectedly, someone was hanging on the roof of the corridor like a bat, and there seemed to be no sound of breathing. It was really elusive.

When he was attacked suddenly, he didn't panic. With the long sword in his hand, he clicked it out instantly.

The sound of "ding" is like hitting an iron stone.

This sword hit the opponent's claws.

I didn't expect to hit it so easily, and I didn't expect that the pair of claws were not flesh and blood at all, and the tip of the sword couldn't penetrate it, but was caught alive instead.

Chen Jin was slightly startled, the sword moved violently, he drew out his backhand, kicked his feet on the ground, took advantage of the momentum and flicked, the man soared into the sky, and then floated back to the roof.

Unfavorable start, being discovered by the other party, tonight's investigation had to be interrupted and returned to the inn.

He made a decisive decision, leaped down the street, and at the same time cast invisibility.

clap clap clap!
There were several abnormal noises, and when I looked back, I saw several figures appearing on the roof of the government office, each of them was tall and straight, and their postures and movements were indescribably awkward.

"They're obviously not human, are they walking corpses, or zombies?"

In an instant, Chen Jin had a judgment in his mind, he hurried away, returned the same way, jumped in from the open window, and returned to the room.

Close the window, sit down, and breathe a little.

Miao Jiafeng is from Xiangxi, and Yang Rong revealed that he has a master from the Xiangxi sect with him, and Xiangxi is famous for driving corpses...

Combining several factors together, the answer is ready to come out.

Sure enough, it is not an ordinary official family.

Looking at the sword in his hand again, he found that the tip of the sword was twisted like a twist, and it was basically scrapped.

Great claws!

As for the walking corpse, although there was only one face-to-face confrontation, Chen Jinyue also tried out some details:

The body is like copper and iron, quite hard, and the strength is very fierce, but the movements are not fast enough...

As for the quantity, just a while ago, at least four appeared, and I don't know how many are there.

It was the first time for Chen Jin to encounter such a thing. It was neither a human nor a ghost, so it was hard to deal with.

"My sword is still not sharp enough!"

With a sigh, he didn't feel sleepy, and began to exhale and practice.

Regarding the "Shouqiu Tuna Method", the more he learned, the more mysterious it became.

"Tuna" is breathing, but it is higher than breathing. The rhythm of length is very important.The core of it is "vomiting turbidity and accepting clearness". To put it bluntly, it is to eliminate exhaust gas and absorb vitality.

Such huffing and puffing accumulates and beats the internal organs of the body, thus becoming stronger.

The efficiency of breathing is very important. Ordinary people’s breaths are completely out of order, which is purely an instinctive need for survival; while the general breathing method is inefficient. When breathing out, the vitality in the body may be spit out, but when breathing in, it may be exhausted. Exhaust gas is also absorbed in...

Mixed together, not very pure, the practice will naturally become slow.

Of course, the environment for exhaling and exercising is also very important. If you are in a place where vitality is thin, no matter how much you inhale, you will not be able to inhale anything.

To a certain extent, all breathing methods in the world are equivalent to "collecting clothes and refining qi", but the methods of adopting them are different, and the objects are also different.

"Shouqiu Tuna Method" is the fundamental method inherited by the Qiu family. Qiu Bugui and Qiu Bujuan all came from practicing this method.What's more, what they practiced belonged to the same version as what was passed on to Qiu Bao'er, and it was exactly the same. It just depends on who practiced well and how deeply they practiced.

According to the formula, I like moonlight nights the most, and I will get twice the result with half the effort if I speak to the bright moon.

Ever since he learned about Qiu Bujuan's "The Book of Inverting Yin and Yang Tianhu", Chen Jin had some doubts in his heart. This breathing method also has demon elements, and he needs to have the relevant blood to start practicing.

It's a pity that it's raining tonight and we can't see the moonlight.However, rainy nights, filled with water vapor, are also suitable for penance.

The light rain didn't stop, the practice didn't stop, and the night passed.

The next day, instead of checking out, he chose to stay.

This place is not far from the Fuya, and the main street is just across the street, and the Fuya sent people and horses, so they had to pass by, so they could see it clearly.

He didn't just wait here, he came up with a plan, quickly put on a disguise, and went out.

……

Fuya, study.

Wearing casual clothes, Miao Jiafeng's face was gloomy. In front of him, on the left and right, stood a skinny old man, over seventy years old, with gray hair and skinny body:

"Two messengers, did the people who broke in last night leave no clues?"

The old man on the left replied: "No."

His tone was stiff and dry, as if he was not used to speaking.

Miao Jiafeng nodded slightly: "It seems that this person is not an idler, he is most likely a member of the Qiu family. It is a bit tricky to be bumped into the copper corpse by him."

Raising corpses in the government office, once spread, will inevitably attract criticism and lead to huge negative public opinion.

As an official, this is quite taboo.

Miao Jiafeng felt a little annoyed, his plan was going well, first he calculated Qiu Bugui, if Qiu Bugui died, the old Qiuzhuang would fall down and the monkeys would scatter, he could do whatever he wanted.But I don't know which link went wrong, and a large number of people, including Master Li and He Sandangjia, fell into it, and no one was alive or dead.

Then there was no news of Qiu Bugui's death...

This means that unknown and unexpected problems have arisen.

Miao Jiafeng must re-examine the Qiu family, and then formulate new plans, such as closing down Yuelai Firm, arresting Qiu Bulai, etc.

These are all conspiracies.

The authority in the hands of officials is the most powerful weapon.

As a result, this conspiracy was also resolved, and the guards in the squad couldn't enter the gate of Laoqiuzhuang at all, so they couldn't take the opportunity to knock on it.

All things were unfavorable, which made Zhifu Miao restless.

At noon, a Master Zhou who was out on errands came back and finally brought back a piece of good news: Deputy General Zhao, who was in command of Bingjia, had agreed to send troops to patrol the outskirts of the city to hunt down and kill the Black Mountain bandits.

Hearing the news, Prefect Miao smiled: Asking Vice General Zhao to send troops is only a superficial first step; next, to provoke the relationship between Vice General Zhao and Qiu Bugui is the real good show.

As long as Deputy General Zhao's ambition is aroused and he wants to take the position, then Qiu Bugui will become a stumbling block.

Having said that, what kind of situation is Qiu Bugui in the end?
Is it dead?Still not dead?
Or is it dying?
According to the information fed back by the Black Bandit, although Qiu Bugui was not killed on the spot, Qiu Bugui was seriously injured and it was hopeless to recover.

In this case, he should have died the night he was sent back to the old hill.

Is it fate?

After all, Qiu Bugui's martial arts cultivation base is not low, and his vitality is different from that of ordinary people. If he is treated in time with the magic medicine, he may survive.

On the same day, the Qiu family invited Miracle Doctor Chu, who is well-known in the Lingnan area.

Another possibility is that Qiu Bugui is dead, but Qiu's funeral is kept secret to delay time...

After much deliberation, but couldn't figure it out, Magistrate Miao was quite bored, he hated such an uncertain situation, and even thought about whether he should go to the village to see for himself in the name of a visit.

In the evening, his confidant Ah Zhe came back with good news, saying that Huang Xian and Shu Xian had agreed to help.

As for the other three companies, they seemed hesitant and did not agree in person.

Ah Zhe said: "If it wasn't for time constraints, if I stayed on the mountain to persuade them more, they would definitely join."

Miao Jiafeng waved his hand: "It's enough for two families to join forces. Since the other three families don't know how to praise, let them go. After finishing this matter, it will not be too late to settle it slowly."

Ah Zhe understands the meaning of "liquidation", and can foresee that in the near future, there may only be "two immortals" left in Wuling's "five immortals".

Miao Jiafeng asked again: "Huangxian Shuxian, did you ever say how to do it?"

"They will go directly to Old Qiuzhuang, but time is not dead, and I don't want to push too hard."

"Yes, these two families are smart, they will understand my lord's intention."

Miao Jiafeng was very satisfied, but he didn't know when the Black Bandits would come, it should only take two days.

At that time, the Qiu family will definitely not be able to support it, and the Miao prefect will personally harvest it, and a mantis catching cicadas will not be too perfect.

But someone came to report, saying that rumors suddenly spread in the market, saying that there are walking corpses haunting government offices, eating human flesh and drinking human blood, and rumors spread that there are noses and faces.

There has never been a lack of market for this kind of appalling strange talk, and it is even more bizarre that this time it involves important places in the Yamen.

It stands to reason that it is a taboo among the people to talk about public affairs indiscriminately. How can ordinary people dare to do it?
Therefore, it is obvious that behind the rumors, someone must be manipulating and promoting.

Miao Jiafeng was furious, and the other party really made a fuss about this matter, and immediately shouted: "Order the squad leader to go out and investigate strictly, arrest anyone who dares to speak up, interrogate them, and find out who is behind the scenes."

……

At this moment, the "behind-the-scenes messenger" was drinking with someone in a wine shop.

That man was none other than Ma Shengshen, the arresting officer of Huazhou Prefecture.

The last time Ma Shengshen was temporarily transferred to help, Chen Jin made friends with him, shared the same temper, sympathized with each other, and became friends.

"Brother Ma, what case did you come to Gaozhou Mansion for this time?"

Ma Shengshen said directly, "I've already been transferred."

Chen Jin was taken aback: "You mean you are no longer in the Huazhou Patrol Division?"

Ma Shengshen nodded: "I was not very happy with what I did there, and it happened to be appreciated by Mr. Yang, so I came to Gaozhou Mansion."

Isn't this just "job hopping", it's not new.

As for the "not very happy" mentioned, there is nothing unusual.Ma Sheng insists on principles, has a very upright style of work, does things in full compliance with laws and regulations, is not greedy, does not form cliques with others, and does not rub sand in his eyes.

Such a character is destined not to be popular in the public office, and is bound to be repelled and even attacked.

So he has good skills, but it is still difficult to get promoted, so he can only be a catcher.

He was able to be transferred to Gaozhou Prefecture, and Chen Jin naturally welcomed him: "Then you have been promoted to the chief arrester?"

Ma Shengshen shook his head: "No, Mr. Yang originally said that he could promote me to head arrest, but I didn't agree."

"Why don't you agree?"

No matter what kind of public sect you are in, you can't do without the official rank. For people in the public sect, this is also an extremely important thing, representing status and authority.

The level in the Patrol Department is higher than that of the head arrester, and the status and treatment are also higher. There is more than half of the difference between the two.

Ma Shengshen said slowly: "I just transferred here. I haven't made any achievements. I haven't done anything. It would be unfair to others and cause gossip if I was directly promoted to the chief arrester."

Chen Jin persuaded: "Gaozhou Prefecture's Patrol Division is currently short of manpower, and there is a vacancy for head arresters, so Master Yang recruited you here. Since you have real skills, what's the problem with becoming a head arrester first? After performing your duties, you will make meritorious deeds." Not too late."

Ma Shengshen disagreed: "That's the truth, but I have my own persistence. Anyway, it's not too late. When I make achievements, my promotion will come naturally, lest people say that I have left." adult relationship."

Chen Jin: "..."

Asked: "Sister-in-law has no objection?"

Ma Shengshen's parents died young, but he married a wife and started a family when he was in his twenties. It is a pity that he has been married for many years, but he has never had children.

When he mentioned his wife, he had a rare gentle expression on his face: "She is very good and never interferes with my affairs."

This is indeed very good. From the standpoint of modern people, if a woman marries such a man who does not know how to fight for benefits, I am afraid that the sky will be turned upside down, and it will even be broken up.

Chen Jin will not say more, he has always admired people who speak principles and do things seriously, they are very precious.

Although such a person often feels stupid and stupid in the eyes of others.

Ma Shengshen suddenly asked, "Shou Heng, I heard something happened to your uncle."

"You knew already?"

"I'm from the Patrol Division."

Chen Jin sighed: "That's right, my uncle was plotted against the bandits and was seriously injured, but he survived."

Ma Shengshen's eyes were fixed: "This matter is really tricky."

Chen Jindao: "Actually, I have talked with Mr. Yang, but what he meant is that the Patrol Department is not an internal factory and will not interfere with official affairs."

The scope of power of the Patrol Department is to govern the Jianghu and evil spirits.The main reason is that Yang Rong didn't want to stand on the opposite side of Miao Jiafeng in this matter.

Ma Shengshen raised his brows: "But the Heishan bandits are doing harm to the village, so it's up to the Patrol Division."

Chen Jin understood what he meant: "You want to help me?"

Ma Shengshen smiled: "I'm not just helping you, I'm also doing things according to the law. As the saying goes: If you eat the king's salary and be loyal to the king, if I work for the court, I will naturally eliminate harm for the people."

Chen Jin is overjoyed, he is now worried about being alone, and needs help.Although he had never seen Ma Shengshen make a move, he felt the energy and blood in his body, and he was an absolute head-hunting warrior.Moreover, Ma Shengshen's official status can also be of great use in key occasions.

Ma Shengshen continued: "In fact, I also have selfish intentions in doing this. As long as I do it well and make meritorious service, I can be promoted, right?"

"Haha, being able to eliminate harm for the people and make meritorious deeds is a practical thing that kills two birds with one stone. It's a great thing."

Chen Jin followed his words and said good things without any trace.

Ma Shengshen continued: "However, when I handle a case, I have my own standpoint, and I don't want to be influenced by other people's interference."

Chen Jin said with a smile: "Then I bought the drink tonight, so it doesn't count as interference?"

Ma Shengshen blinked: "It's not office hours, it's a private meeting with friends, so naturally it doesn't count."

Chen Jin laughed, and felt that this guy was cute sometimes, not completely pedantic or unreasonable, and immediately shouted: "It's hard to know yourself in life, let's make it clear, I have to drink a few more glasses tonight... Xiao Er, Cut another five catties of good meat and serve wine!"
