The bloody man was the soul of Tian Huaiyi. He thanked his teacher and said that he had fulfilled his last wish after failing to save Shen Yusheng. Although he was deeply reluctant to give up, he was pulled by the power of the netherworld and dragged to the underworld.
"Huaiyi!"
Fu Leisheng yelled and stood up suddenly. He looked around and saw that there was no wind around him and there was no bloody Tian Huaiyi. He thought he had fallen asleep while reading.
After all, Master's books are very boring.
"I think about it every day and dream about it at night. I am always worried that Huaiyi will betray Shen Yusheng for the sake of a high official and a good salary."
He secretly laughed at himself. When Tian Huaiyi was under his tutelage, he was the most naughty and mischievous student, causing him the most headaches. He did not study hard in school and always liked to play with the hair of the female student in front of him. This made the female student burst into tears.
He called his parents and beat Tian Huaiyi.
When practicing spells, I don't practice well either. I hammer here and there, and spend three days fishing and two days drying nets.
But he is very smart and can learn everything quickly. Once he learns it, it is difficult to forget it and he can draw inferences from one example.
Later, Tian Huaiyi passed the scholar examination and received the divine fetus from God. Because it was a third-grade Dou Kuei divine fetus, it was already regarded as a great divine fetus in the county. He was worried that someone would come to snatch it away, so he guarded Tian Huaiyi day and night.
At that time, Chen Shi's divine fetus was poached, causing a commotion. Fu Leisheng was also frightened, and as expected, several groups of people came to snatch the divine fetus.
He worked hard to force the enemy back and save Tian Huaiyi. Because of this incident, the relationship between teachers and students was very good, as close as father and son.
Later, Tian Huaiyi passed the examination and went to other places. Then he heard that he had gone to the garrison and served in the army for many years. When he came back, he changed from a naughty and troublesome boy to a calm official.
The changes were so big that he couldn't help but marvel.
What he was most worried about was that Tian Huaiyi would enter the officialdom and become so dyed that he would not even be able to recognize him. Therefore, after Shen Yusheng got the Wenchang divine fetus this time, he gave many instructions, lest Tian Huaiyi would no longer be the righteous person he was. young man.
"I think too much." He breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, he saw Chen Shi holding out his hand to protect the lamp, and the black dog outside the door was still barking, and he couldn't help but be startled.
He clearly remembered that Chen Shi was dozing off and he was reading a book. Why was it that he was asleep and Chen Shi was awake?
"Mr. Fu, you just fell asleep."
Chen Shi's voice was a little low. He hesitated and said, "Senior Brother Tian came here and entrusted you with a dream. I saw that he was bleeding, so I didn't stop him. Mr. Fu, the county government... something might have happened."
Fu Leisheng's mind was pounding, and his body was shaking. He hurriedly held the desk with both hands, calmed down, and wanted to speak. As soon as the words reached his throat, two lines of hot tears rolled down first.
He raised his hand and wiped it, but the tears grew more and more.
He thought that he was very strong. After teaching Confucianism for so many years, his Taoist heart had long been as solid as a rock, and he would be able to endure it, but he just couldn't.
The tears couldn't help but flow out.
"I……"
He choked and clenched his fists to support his body, but he still couldn't stop the tears in his eyes.
"Chen Shi, please leave me alone for a while..." he said with difficulty.
Chen Shi stood up silently and walked out of the lecture hall. Looking back, he saw Fu Leisheng lying on the table, his body twitching constantly.
"Huaiyi, if you can't beat me, you can run away! Didn't I teach you?"
He burst into tears and scolded Tian Huaiyi for not knowing how to adapt.
"You leave Shen Yusheng and run away! They only want Shen Yusheng, not your life. You are an official of the imperial court and the examiner of Xinxiang County. They will not take your life unless it is absolutely necessary!"
"Run away! Shen Yusheng is my student, and you are my student too! Why don't you run away? You are so stupid!"
…
Chen Shi sat next to Hei Guo, hugging the big dog and looking at the night sky in the county town.
The bright moon is in the sky, and you can see clearly.
"Who said there are no evil spirits in the county? There are evil spirits in people's hearts." He whispered.
I don't know how much time passed, but Fu Leisheng walked out of the lecture hall. His eyes were red and the bags under his eyes were swollen. He was holding an oil lamp in his hand and his voice was a little hoarse. He said softly: "Chen Shi, go to bed early. We have to release the results tomorrow."
Chen Shi responded and looked at him without moving.
Fu Leisheng walked out with the lantern in his hand. When passing through the bamboo forest, he broke off a piece of bamboo pole and used it as a staff to walk out.
Chen Shi followed him, and the scapegoat followed Chen Shi.
Fu Leisheng stopped: "Chen Shi, go back. You have nothing to do here."
Chen Shi shook his head and said: "I stay alone in the academy, worried that someone will kill me to get the divine fetus."
Fu Leisheng said nothing more and continued to walk forward.
Chen Shi and Heiguo followed him and arrived at the county government office soon.
The gate of the county government office was open, and it was dark inside. Fu Leisheng walked into the county government office holding a lamp on a bamboo pole.
There was silence inside.
Chen Shi suddenly felt something sticky under his feet. When he raised his feet and looked at them, he saw blood on them.
He looked towards the ground and saw a pool of blood.
He said nothing because he had already seen Tian Huaiyi's body lying in a pool of blood.
Fu Leisheng put the lamp aside and raised his hand, shaking uncontrollably, wanting to touch his student's face.
Tian Huaiyi's face was pale, his eyes were staring, and his pupils were tilted to one side.
Fu Lei clenched his fists tightly and followed his gaze. Shen Yusheng was sitting on a chair not far away, facing them, staring with fear in his eyes.
Fu Leisheng stood up and came to the boy with a childish face. He did not feel any signs of anger on the student.
He touched the back of Shen Yusheng's head and found that his skull had been opened.
There was blood all over his hands.
The corner of Fu Leisheng's mouth moved, as if he was crying but not crying, but he held it back, using a clean palm to close his eyes for Shen Yusheng.
He turned around and looked at the wounds on Tian Huaiyi's body.
Corpses cannot speak, but they can leave a lot of useful information.
What spells the opponent used, what realm the opponent was in, what kind of golden elixir the opponent had, and even the Yuanying Yuanshen would all leave clues on the corpse.
Chen Shi was looking at the Ten Thousand Soul Flags enshrined in the county government office.
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner is a magic weapon, and the souls it contains are often the souls of monks. Only the souls of people who have committed capital crimes are eligible to enter the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
This treasure is so powerful that it can guard a city so that evil spirits dare not come even half a step closer. It can also resist powerful enemies, allowing the county magistrate to fight against masters in the realm of gods!
This Ten Thousand Souls Flag is still on the altar table at this moment, without any fluctuation in power.
Tian Huaiyi seemed to have died in the opponent's hands before he had time to use the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Chen Shi frowned slightly. Tian Huaiyi's strength was definitely not weak. He had lived in the military all year round and was in a dangerous place like the Border Guard Station. His actual combat experience must be extremely amazing. It was impossible for him to die before he could even use the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
In the opponent's hands!
Even if the opponent has cultivated into a soul, he can still activate the Ten Thousand Soul Flags to fight against him!
"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was used once."
Fu Leisheng's voice came, "But the user is not Huaiyi."
Chen Shi was slightly startled and came to Tian Huaiyi's body. The wounds on Tian Huaiyi's body were not ordinary wounds, but bruise-colored wounds. The blood in the wounds had coagulated and they were cold to the touch, unlike those of a newly deceased person.
Chen Shi thought of the blue ghost hand on his chest, and his heart moved slightly: "This is an injury caused by a resentful ghost!"
"It was the injury caused by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner."
Fu Leisheng's eyes fell on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and said, "The resentful spirit ghosts in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner were originally very strong, and after long-term sacrifices, they became even stronger. But Huaiyi did not have time to sacrifice this treasure, and the treasure was taken by the opponent.
Prompt."
Chen Shi was stunned, was he prompted by the other party?
Tian Huaiyi holds the Ten Thousand Souls Flag. Why is the Ten Thousand Souls Flag activated by the opponent?
Fu Leisheng did not answer, but looked into the darkness outside, his voice low and hoarse: "The county government office should always be guarded by government officials, but the government officials on duty are not here, and there was a fight in the government office, but no government officials came to check."
The only people who can mobilize the Ten Thousand Soul Banners and at the same time stop the government officials from doing anything rashly are the county magistrate and the county magistrate.
However, the Xinxiang County Magistrate was dead, and the County Magistrate Zheng Shiyun was far less powerful than Tian Huaiyi, so it was impossible to kill Tian Huaiyi so cleanly.
There are also many masters in Xinxiang County, who may be hiding in the realm of gods. However, Tian Huaiyi is the chief examiner of the county examination in Xinxiang County. His official position is not high, but he is an official of the imperial court. The masters in the county will never dare to risk being punished by the imperial court.
risk and kill him.
"So, it can only be outsiders."
Chen Shi said, "Among the foreigners in recent days, the most powerful ones are probably the Li family in Quanzhou. Governor Li Xiaozheng passed through Xinxiang County."
Fu Leisheng's eyes twitched, he picked up the lamp, turned around and walked out, saying: "Governor Li rushed to the provincial capital yesterday and took office. He was not in Xinxiang County. Chen Shi, you don't have to ask about this matter."
Chen Shi didn't say anything and still followed him.
Fu Leisheng knocked on the door of the coffin shop, walked in, and said to the shopkeeper: "Two coffins, the quality should be better."
The shopkeeper of the coffin shop was taken aback and asked him to come in quickly, saying, "Mr. Fu, what happened?"
"nothing."
Fu Leisheng didn't say much and said, "Add one more, three coffins. How much does it cost?"
"It's made of cypress wood, six taels of silver a mouthful."
Fu Leisheng paid the money without bargaining, and said: "Ask a few guys to come with me and send two wooden coffins to the county government office. There are two corpses in the government office. Let the guys bury them. There is one more one left in the shop for now."
The shopkeeper of the coffin shop was shocked. Normally, Fu Leisheng would always bargain and haggle over the price, even if it took him a long time to haggle over a copper plate, there was no bargaining today.
"Everything comes to an end after death. Did Mr. Fu prepare this last coffin for himself?"
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and then whispered to the waiter, "You go to the county government office to collect Mr. Fu's body. Just collect it and don't ask about anything else. Also, be careful in the past few days. If you hear any unfortunate news about Mr. Fu, let us know."
I have to be trustworthy when doing business. If he dies, I will bury him in this coffin."
The store clerk said yes.
Chen Shi followed Fu Leisheng and saw him hurriedly putting Tian Huaiyi and Shen Yusheng into coffins.
Before I knew it, it was already dawn.
The two of them stayed up all night and followed the store clerk's wooden cart to deliver the two coffins to Wencai Academy for temporary storage.
The strange thing is that such a big thing happened at the county government office. They were busy working at the county government office all night, but no official came to ask questions.
"Chen Shi, today is the day when the results are released. You and your classmates are going to see the results. I haven't slept all night and I have to go home to rest."
Fu Leisheng said, "As for my affairs, you don't have to ask about it. When Shao Jing asked me to help you, he actually paid me a sum of money, but I also charged you a sum of money. You don't owe the academy anything."
Chen Shi said: "If something happens to Mr. Fu, just come to the academy and let me know."
Fu Leisheng nodded slightly, walked out of the academy and walked home.
His house is indeed as Hu Feifei said, very luxurious. It is built by the Qingqu River. There is a dock just outside the door. It has a yard of more than an acre, with main buildings in the east and west wings, and a small pond surrounding it.
The pond is paved with a rock garden and planted with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums.
Although it is a small place, everything looks exquisite and elegant.
His wife is a person who is good at taking care of things and keeps the house very tidy. Their two children are also very good and have married, so he does not need to worry about them.
His wife had already made breakfast. When she saw him returning, she asked, "Did anything happen last night?"
"fine."
Fu Leisheng said while drinking porridge, "Xiurong, thank you for following me all these years."
His wife sat sideways next to him, watched him eating, and said with a smile: "What's so hard about it? I only work hard inside, and you work hard outside."
Fu Leisheng said: "Mingzhi and Zhiyuan are both married. Although they have no future, they can support themselves. You haven't been back to your hometown for a long time. Why not go back and burn some paper money for my parents and father-in-law. I had a dream last night,
Some of these old people said they have no money to spend down there."
The wife hesitated and said, "Something happened?"
"No."
Fu Leisheng took a bite of bacon and said, "It's not peaceful in the countryside. You ask Mingzhi and Zhiyuan to go with you, take their wives and children there, and just go back to your hometown for a few days to relax."
"And you?"
"I won't go, I have other things to do in the city."
The wife cried and said, "Did something happen? Do you have to stay?"
Fu Leisheng was silent for a moment and said: "I have to stay. You go, pack up, leave today, don't delay. I'm going to sleep, don't let Mingzhi and Zhiyuan come to bother me. After tomorrow, if I am alive, I will go
Looking for you."
The wife wiped away her tears while packing her things.
Fu Leisheng ate and drank enough and slept soundly.
Many students have already come to Wencai Academy. They exclaimed repeatedly at the two coffins parked in the academy and speculated about what happened.
Hu Feifei asked Chen Shi, but Chen Shi didn't say anything.
At noon, the government office released the results. Students flocked to the county government office to see the results.
"Brother Chen, you won! Number one in Xinxiang County!"
Hu Feifei was inexplicably excited and said to Chen Shi, "I can't believe that you are so good at literature and can actually pass high school! Hey, strange, why is there no Shen Yusheng's name?"
She looked up and down the list, but couldn't find Shen Yusheng's name. Logically speaking, Shen Yusheng got the divine fetus without a divine sacrifice, so he should be at the top of the list. But for some reason, she scanned it several times and couldn't find Shen Yusheng.
Not only was Shen Yusheng's name missing, but the news of the examiner Tian Huaiyi's death was also not reported. The death of the examiner was eerily silent.
Chen Shi said silently in his heart: "This noble lady indeed has great supernatural powers. She can cover the sky with one hand in Xinxiang County."
The day after the announcement of the results is the grand sacrifice of the gods.
The God's Coming Festival is held every three years and is very lively. People in the county treat this festival as a festival, with lights and colorful decorations everywhere. Stores also take the opportunity to shout and announce price cuts to attract customers.
Chen Shi, Hu Feifei and several students from the Wencai Academy dressed up in scholarly clothes, with red scarves and ribbons on their heads and green belts around their waists.
With a smile on his face, Fu Leisheng tidied their clothes personally, hung a big red flower tied with satin on Chen Shi's chest, and sent them to the Confucian Temple.
The Confucian Temple has already been decorated, and the statues of Confucius and Wenchang are also draped in red clothes. The scholars have not yet arrived, and the smell of incense is like blue smoke, rising up.
Others have prepared chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, pigs and other animals. These are living sacrifices, gifts to the true God. There are also more melons, pears, peaches and other fruits, put in flower baskets, basket after basket.
.
There are incense candles on both sides of the road. Some of them are as thick as an arm and as tall as a person, and they have been lit. Several children are blowing incense with their cheeks puffed up, and lighting firecrackers with crackling sounds.
Gongs and drums were beating everywhere, and people were beaming with joy. Some people couldn't help but congratulate Fu Leisheng, and some people stretched out their hands to touch the big red flower on Chen Shi's chest, feeling happy.
Chen Shi ranked first in the Xinxiang County Examination, so it was naturally very grand and he was at the forefront of the scholars.
Hu Feifei followed him, and she was also very proud and laughed softly: "This time I became a scholar, got a divine child, and then I can meet mature scholars by taking the exam. The long-cherished wish of us fox girls will be fulfilled.
!whee……"
Chen Shi looked around and suddenly saw Fu Leisheng turning around and squeezing out of the crowd.
A sudden thought occurred in his mind, and he looked at the people busy on the altar, and then looked up at the two great suns in the sky. For the past two years, it has been his obsession to regain the recognition of the true God and give him a divine fetus.
He hesitated, and now that he ranked first in the Xinxiang County Examination, it was time to fulfill his obsession.
If you miss it, you never know when you will have such an opportunity!
He was a scholar, received a divine child, and returned home to honor his ancestors. The old lady Wuzhu also looked up to him.
If he committed a crime, he would definitely be a bandit. He was afraid that every time the ducks from Yuzhu's family passed by him, they would spit twice before leaving!
Chen Shi gritted his teeth, suddenly took off the big red flower on his chest, stuffed it into Hu Feifei's arms, pushed aside the crowd with both hands, and walked out.
Hu Feifei was stunned and said quickly: "Chen Shi, Chen Shi! What are you doing? You are the number one in Xinxiang and will be on stage soon! Do you still want this divine child?"
Chen Shi disappeared into the crowd, and a voice came: "You stay here, I will kill someone!"
He looks like a tiger with a fierce look in his eyes.
The body is straight, the shadow is straight, and the heart is to kill and set fire!
