Chapter 47 Sneaky
  "A Shen, you said it would be great if we had the final say in Lanhe County!" Chen Zheng said suddenly.

Wang Shen was stunned after hearing this and looked at him in surprise. Chen Zheng's words made him a little worried. Being able to say such words proved that he had already had such thoughts in his heart, and such thoughts were very dangerous.

"Azheng, your master has the final say on the Qinghe Gang."

There are many things in this world that can be shared, but there are also some things that absolutely cannot be shared, such as women, such as power!
  Some people regard power as more important than their own lives and do not allow others to get involved in it.

"Of course I know this, but Master is not in Lanhe County now, so I have the final say on the Qinghe Gang. This is what Master said before I came here."

"I think it would be better for you to write to the gang leader for instructions before doing something."

"I wrote him letters, and not just one, but he didn't reply. Master always only looks at the results and not the process. Ah Shen, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I know what's appropriate," Chen Zhengdao said.

Wang Shen collected the money and looked at Chen Zheng's back as he left.

This brother of mine has become more and more confident recently, and his confidence is somewhat inflated. This is the influence of power on a person.

Wang Shen could only kindly remind him that talking too much would be bad and would only arouse the other party's resentment.

"That's all, I'd better practice hard."

On a sunny day, Chen Zheng's senior brother Lu Boxhi came to Lanhe County and met Chen Zheng. The two chatted for a long time.

Outside Lanhe County, by the Qinghe River, Wang Shen couldn't remember exactly how many times he had put the iron sign in his hand into the Qinghe River.

That strange feeling is getting stronger and stronger. It seemed that there was a voice calling in my ears.

"Come on, come to the water."

As his cultivation progressed, the volume of water he could control also increased, from two bowls of water to one bucket of water now, but it was also only limited to the water of Qinghe River.

But now he can sense something through the feedback of the river water.

The swaying water plants at the bottom of the river and the fish swimming in the river. When Wang Shen closed his eyes, a very blurry picture would appear in his mind, but it was limited to a fairly small area.

"What exactly is this iron plate?"

When he returned home, he found a man sneaking around the village.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

He was slightly startled when he got closer and saw the man's face clearly.

"Pei Jin, what are you doing here?"

"It's you?!"

Pei Jin was stunned when she saw Wang Shen.

"Master Pei, why are you here?"

"Why are you here in Lanhe? Are you here with Chen Zheng?"

"Yes." Wang Shen nodded. "Master Pei is investigating the case?"

"Ah, investigating the case." Pei Jin nodded.

"What case? How did you find it here?"

"This is a Yamen matter, why are you asking so many questions?" Pei Jin blocked Wang Shen with one sentence, obviously not wanting to have too much communication with him on this matter.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Wang Shen didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked towards home.

Pei Jin looked at Wang Shen's back and said, "Why is this guy here too? What a coincidence!"

Although Pei Jin didn't say what he was doing here, it didn't mean that Wang Shen didn't know.

Soon, he heard from people in the village that Pei Jin seemed to be looking for something, something growing in the ground.

"Things that grow in the ground, special plants?" The key question is that Pei Jin is always hanging around, which will affect Dao Wang Shen's practice. He doesn't want to be in the woods when he is practicing. A person can come out, although this possibility is not high.

"We have to find a way to get him away!"

A few days later, a story began to spread in the mountain village. Recently, a man was sneaking around here, specifically picking out homes where no one was home, and breaking into their homes to steal things. This man not only stole chickens and dogs, but also stole children.

The news quickly spread throughout the village and then to nearby villages.

When Pei Jin appeared nearby, he found that people looked at him strangely, as if they were guarding against thieves.

Someone even reported it to the police, and a police officer arrested him directly. After he revealed his identity, the police officer hurriedly apologized.

Soon, some Qinghe Gang disciples appeared in the village below, and they seemed to be looking for something.

"What are you looking for?"

"Looking for what Pei Jin is looking for." This was Chen Zheng's answer.

"Then what is Pei Jin looking for?"

"Honestly, I don't know either, but it must be something extraordinary." Chen Zheng said with a smile.

Hey, Pei Jin sighed after hearing the news. It was originally a quite secret matter, but now it is well known to everyone. I don’t know who spread the rumors.

"Things have become a little unexpected." Wang Shen looked at the Qinghe Gang disciples wandering around the village.

He originally just wanted to let Pei Jin leave here through rumors, but he didn't expect that the rumors actually attracted Chen Zheng's attention, or that Pei Jin caught Chen Zheng's idea.

On this day, Wang Shen, who had been practicing at home for a long time, came out of his home and was about to buy something to eat. Suddenly he saw a disciple from the Qinghe Gang trotting away.

Less than an hour later, Chen Zheng appeared in the village. He also went to Wang Shen's home and chatted with him for a while.

"We found what Pei Jin was looking for."

"what?"

"A stone tablet."

"Stone tablet?" Wang Shen was stunned after hearing this, "What stone tablet? What is written on it?"

"I don't know either. If you want to see it, it's right outside."

Wang Shen followed Chen Zheng out and saw the stone tablet. It looked like an incomplete tombstone, with some ancient characters engraved on one side and a strange pattern engraved on the other.

"What's he doing looking for this?"

"I don't know." Chen Zheng shook his head, "But Master has sent a letter and he also wants this stone tablet."

"Gang leader, is he out of prison?"

"Out of customs."

The next day, in a manor in Wuyang County, a man in a cloak looked at an incomplete stone tablet in front of him.

"Unexpectedly, this stone monument is actually here."

"Sir, what is this?"

"This is the Tianhe Stele. It is said that there are thirty-six stone stele in total, and each one records the secrets of some rivers in the world. If I guessed correctly, what is recorded on this stele should be the secrets of the Qinghe River. It’s a secret, but it’s a pity that this stone tablet is incomplete and most of it is missing.” said the man covered in a cloak.

"Sir, can you get any useful information from these incomplete words?"

The man hiding in the cloak stared at the words on the stone tablet and read it carefully several times.
