Become a Taoist from a woodcutter

Chapter 4: Reborn, a sign of great evil!
Back home, Chu Jiang and Lin Bo deal with the big bastard.

Both of them were surprised. Lin Bo had only seen this basin-sized bastard when he was a child.

"I have been killing fish for many years, but I have never met such a big bastard. Only when I was a kid did someone catch it in the town and sold it for three taels of silver."

Lin Bo said: "It's a waste to just eat it like this. Do you really want to stop selling it?"

Lin Bo skillfully killed the tortoise. He was a famous fish killer in the town. He had killed many tortoises, but this was the first time he had seen such a big one.

"You're not young anymore. You can sell your money and save two years to get a wife." Lin Bo said earnestly.

Chu Jiang said: "There is no suitable one. I can't stand thirteen or fourteen-year-old children. I want to find someone who is seventeen or eighteen years old."

"If you don't sell it, you can eat it yourself." Chu Jiang said, "It's a rare opportunity in your life, so you have to try it."

As for marrying a wife, there is no need to be so anxious, he has not found the right one yet.

Girls in Dongjiang Town get married too early, and there are many who start a family at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

The main reason why Lin Jingxian is not married yet is that she has a younger brother at home, Lin Qinghe, who is studying in a school and the expenses are relatively high.

"Hey, you kid, you still like old girls? Where can you find her?" Lin Bo was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.

In this world where people get married early, seventeen or eighteen years old is indeed an old girl.

Lin Jingxian heard this and said: "Brother Jiang is not looking for a female hero, is he? Those female heroes are not married even when they are twenty-seven or eighty years old."

"A heroine? That's not possible. She is homeless all day long and loves to fight fiercely. How can she live a normal life?" Lin Bo said.

"Okay, don't talk about me anymore. Let's deal with this bastard first. His claws are very powerful. Uncle Lin, be careful."

Chu Jiang said, pressing the tortoise's back, and the tortoise shrank up.

Lin Bo smiled and held an iron hook, stepped on the tortoise's shell, pulled out the tortoise's head with the iron hook, and chopped off the head with a knife.

Ask Lin Jingxian to get boiling water, pour it directly on the tortoise's back, and burn off the membrane on his body.

The tortoise has a tenacious vitality, and it was kept hot for a quarter of an hour before there was no movement at all.

After taking care of the bastard, Lin Bo stood up and said, "Okay, Xiaoxian and I are going back. You can just stew it and eat it."

"Uncle Lin, we agreed to have a drink together." Chu Jiang said: "Without your loan, my father wouldn't have been able to bury him, and I have nothing to thank you for, so I'll treat you to a meal."

Lin Bo helped out at the beginning and made all the arrangements for his father's funeral.

If Uncle Lin hadn't borrowed money and helped him later, although he wouldn't have starved to death, his life would have been difficult.

I have never given thanks properly, but now I have caught a big tortoise, which I will serve with Polygonum multiflorum later, and I will have a drink with Uncle Lin to express my gratitude for the kindness of burying my father.

"I won't say anything to an ordinary bastard, but I really can't bite such a big one."

Lin Bo shook his head: "This thing is too expensive. It belongs to my neighbors. I have paid back the money. I don't owe me anything."

With that said, she pulled Lin Jingxian away.

Chu Jiang wanted to say something else, but Lin Bo waved his hand and said, "Just give me a jar of soju from now on. I can't get used to this precious thing."

Lin Jingxian also smiled and waved her hand, and left with Uncle Lin.

Their family couldn't save three taels of silver in a year.

He really couldn't bear to eat such an expensive bastard, and he was embarrassed to take advantage of Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang sighed lightly and kept half of the big tortoise to send to Uncle Lin tomorrow.

I won’t give him the Polygonum multiflorum. If I take this thing away, there is a high chance that Uncle Lin will send it back and he will not take it back.

Only the meat for the bastard is given. It has been minced anyway and is not easy to sell.

He took out the Polygonum multiflorum and stewed it together in the pot: "It is very precious, but you have to be willing to give it up. Why are you living so hard?"

He had suffered all his life in his previous life, but he really didn't want to suffer anymore in this life, and he prioritized rewarding himself.

Soon, the aroma filled the air. Chu Jiang took out the wine bowl and poured a bowl of wine from the gourd.

This wine was a bit bad, the lowest quality Shao Daozi cost five cents a pound. He usually took a few sips with it when it was very humid in the mountains.

But who says good food must be paired with good wine?
I took a bite of the tortoise pork, it was extremely tender, and paired with a piece of Polygonum multiflorum, my whole body felt warm.

Fragrant!
Really fragrant!

Chu Jiang finally realized what this old bastard felt like and why there were so many rich people in his previous life buying them at high prices.

I ate several pieces in one go, and I also ate most of the Polygonum multiflorum.

My body was warm, I didn't feel cold late at night, and all the fatigue and sleepiness seemed to have been eliminated.

After finishing the bowl of wine, the Polygonum multiflorum was finished, and the big tortoise was almost done.

"Comfortable!"

Chu Jiang stood up and felt that his whole body was full of strength. The next moment, his vision was blurred, his face felt warm, and there was a stream of heat on his nose.

"Is this... too much?"

Chu Jiang's expression changed, and his nose and eyes were bleeding.

Then came the ears, mouth...

Blood oozes from the seven orifices!

But he didn't feel any pain, his whole body only felt unbearably hot, and dark red mist oozed from the pores on his body.

砰

Before he could think more, his consciousness went dark and he fell straight down.

……

The next morning.

A stench hit him, and Chu Jiang opened his eyes. He felt that his vision was much clearer, and even some small holes on the ground could be seen clearly.

"I am..."

Chu Jiang's heart was shocked, and he stretched out his hand to touch his face, feeling a layer of skin.

With a gentle rub, the skin fell off.

The same was true on his hands, peeling off a layer of old skin to reveal white and tender skin.

Moreover, he felt that his body was filled with a huge force, as if he had endless energy.

A possibility emerged in his mind——

Reborn!

Only reborn, in line with his changes!
"Yesterday was not an overdone, but a radical change."

Chu Jiang murmured: "Isn't this world low-level martial arts?"

The compass appeared in his mind again, with markings on the east, west, east, and west.

During this incident, he felt that his connection with the compass had deepened, and he also understood that observing Qi was centered on himself.

The compass changed again. The east side was full of angry black air, pure black, and the water was sparkling.

If there is great danger to the east, it should be in the water!

Chu Jiang's heart skipped a beat. If he went east, he would reach the edge of the East China Sea, and further east would be the East China Sea.

If there are water waves, it is either the section where the Yangtze River merges into the East China Sea, or it is the East China Sea!
There is no change in the north, which means everything is normal and calm.

Entering the mountains from the west is equally smooth, with no dangers or opportunities.

A red light appeared in the south, as red as blood, and the shadow of the mountains appeared below.

The omen of great misfortune should be in the mountains!
The compass disappeared, and Chu Jiang recalled the compass hexagram in his mind: "Both the east and the south are signs of great misfortune. The color is as red as the Yang. The Yang is originally a good omen, but the color red is like blood, which means that the Yang pole will reverse and become a sign of great misfortune."

"The black air in the east is pure, a sign of death."

You can't go to the east and south today. If you want to fish, the fishing rod has cracks and is not suitable.

I happened to go to collect firewood and went to the bamboo forest in the mountains to find a piece of bamboo to use as a fishing rod.

Thinking of this, he went out first and fetched water from the well in the yard.

He felt hot all over his body now, and the cold well water in the early morning did not feel the slightest chill.

He rinsed it with cold water and it didn't feel cold, but felt very comfortable.

After packing up and going out, Uncle Lin had already gone to work, Lin Jingxian had also returned to Buzhuang, and only Aunt Lin was at home.

"Auntie, this is the remaining half of the tortoise meat. You guys stew it tonight." Chu Jiang said.

"That's not possible, it's too expensive." Aunt Lin quickly refused.

Chu Jiang smiled and said: "Auntie, I heard that this thing can become aura after eating brain seeds. Maybe after eating this bastard meat, Qinghe will be able to get the top score in the examination."

"After eating this thing, will Qinghe's brain melon seeds really turn into spiritual light?" Aunt Lin was tempted.

"You will know after you try it. This thing is a great tonic, and it will definitely replenish your brain."

Lin Qinghe is the treasure of their family, and they all hope that this kid will succeed. As long as he mentions this kid, he will definitely accept it.

Of course, Lin Qinghe was not very successful in his studies and preferred to go fishing with Chu Jiang.
