Chapter 4: A Lifetime of Love (1)
"Hey, Miss Wen, wait, wait for me." Shen Chen shouted and ran on the street.
"The matter of the Lu Mansion has been settled, do you have anything to do with me?" Wen Bailing turned around and said.
Shen Chen panted and shook the money bag in his hand and said, "Didn't we say before that you are three and I are seven, here is the money given by Master Lu." I'll give you three percent. ”
Wen Bailing said lightly: "Forget it, you can keep it for yourself, money is something outside your body."
Shen Chen was surprised: "Are you sure?" Is this a lot of silver? You need silver everywhere in the world, for example, you need to eat. To stay. Otherwise, you can't drink dew and sleep on the street, right? ”
Wen Bailing lowered her head and frowned, yes, she is no longer here to experience in the world. He also brought the master's last words to collect all the fragments of the Wraith Bead.
Wen Bailing thought for a while and said, "What you said is right, then you can bring it."
At this time, Shen Chen really wanted to slap her mouthful, since she was so uncannibalistic, why did she have to talk to her so much. Is it because there is more silver, and you hold it in your hand? Just when he was very entangled, Shen Chen suddenly had an idea: "Eh~ That Wen girl, you see it's a little late now, and you are leaving this town, you will go and leave here by boat early tomorrow morning, or you will go to my house tonight to stay overnight." Look, you have to pay money for one night in this inn, right, so you give me this money and stay at my house, what do you think? ”
Before Wen Bailing could speak, Shen Chen said, "Then it's decided." After saying that, he didn't look back and left with Wen Bao, Wen Bailing glared twice, and finally could only follow helplessly.
"Is this your home? This is far worse than Master Lu's house, and you still charge me so much silver. ”
Shen Chen smiled awkwardly when he heard this: Hehe~ You also know. This Master Lu is a wealthy businessman, I am a little demon hunter, and I still have to raise Wenbao, so well, the residence must be a little worse.
Wen Bailing knew that she had been pitted by Shen Chen, so she asked angrily, "Then where do I live?"
"Oh, you live in the room on the far right, and I've asked Wen Bao to clean it up for you. By the way, go in and sit down, I don't look very good, but it's not a bad kind. After saying that, Shen Chen walked into the house by himself.
Wen Bailing was attracted by his room full of demon-catching magic weapons and talismans. Exclaimed: "It turns out that you have so many magic weapons and talismans in your house." Then why are you so poor in spiritual power, Lian? Can't even see that the second lady of Lu Fu has lost her soul? ”
"Those are my father's, I've liked to study medicine since I was a child, because my mother was very sick at the beginning, and my father didn't have a lot of money to treat my mother, so what I learned from my father was only enough to keep myself from being disturbed by evil spirits. And I don't know how to use these things. After speaking, Shen Chen casually picked up a lotus lamp and fiddled with it in front of him.
After Wen Bailing listened, she now felt that at least Shen Chen was not as bad as she thought before, it turned out that he was so greedy for money in order to treat the poor and get medicine. She suddenly looked at Shen Chen differently.
"It's because you have too many distracting thoughts in your heart, so every time you cast a spell, your energy can't be concentrated, which leads to your inability to use your spiritual power." Wen Bailing said as she took the lotus lantern in Shen Chen's hand.
Wen Bailing looked at the lotus lamp in his hand and said thoughtfully: "This lotus lamp should be used for self-protection, so you'd better figure out how to use the lotus lantern."
As soon as Shen Chen heard that the lotus lantern could save his life, he immediately took out the demon hunt record left for him by his father from his bag, hoping to find out how to use the lotus lantern.
After a while, Shen Chen suddenly shouted excitedly, "I found it, I found it." After shouting, Shen Chen tried it, but the result was that he couldn't even use the spiritual power to use the lotus lantern.
Wen Bailing on the side encouraged: "Don't be discouraged, you concentrate your energy and try again."
"Left and right, He'an direction." As soon as Shen Chen's voice fell, the lotus lamp that was originally placed on the table emitted a golden light, and then floated in the air. The last golden light formed a protective shield that instantly enveloped the two of them.
"Alright, put it away, let's go out to eat." Wen Bailing said to Shen Chen.
Shen Chen said with an embarrassed face: "Eh~ Just now I only cared about how to use it, and I haven't had time to learn how to collect ............."
On a bamboo table in the backyard, although the dishes don't look good, but fortunately, Wenbao cooks well.
"Oh~ By the way, young master, Uncle Zhang from the next town came to look for you at noon today. Uncle Zhang said that there was a monster in the river in their town, and he wanted you to go over and take a look. Wen Bao said while eating the food in the bowl with relish.
Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "Then you will send the medicine I put in the house tomorrow to Granny Li, the broken house on the corner of Dongjie Lane."
"Oh. Knowing the young master," Wen Bao nodded symbolically and continued to eat.
Wen Bailing put down the dishes and chopsticks and said with a serious face: "Shen liar, I'll go with you tomorrow to have a look."
Wen Bao on the side asked in a low voice after seeing Wen Bailing leave, "Young Master, why is she so kind all of a sudden?"
Shen Chen shook his head and said that he didn't know either.
The next day, early in the morning, Wen Bailing and Shen Chen went to the next town, Zhangjia Village.
As soon as they entered the town, everyone looked at the two of them with panicked eyes.
Seeing the arrival of the two of them, Uncle Zhang hurriedly came up to greet him and said, "Shen Zhenren, you are here." We're all waiting for you. ”
Wen Bailing on the side looked at the street and saw that there was no turbidity, and the Wraith Bead didn't see any movement, so it shouldn't be a dream-eating tapir.
"Uncle Zhang, can you take us to see the river where things are going on?"
Uncle Zhang glanced at Wen Bailing, then at Shen Chen, who was slightly embarrassed, and asked, "Who is this?"
Shen Chen suddenly said: "This is Miss Wen Bailing, she can also kill demons, so let's come over and take a look this time."
"Oh, then, come with me." After speaking, Uncle Zhang took Shen Chen and Wen Bailing and walked to the river.
Wen Bailing was still far away by the river, and the wraith beads in her purse began to move, she looked up at the river and saw that the black turbidity was hovering across the river, and it was much more than that of the Lu Mansion before. It can be seen that things in the river are probably not so simple.
Shen Chen asked Uncle Zhang on the side with a blank face: "This river is so calm, it doesn't look like there is a demon making trouble."
Uncle Zhang replied with a melancholy face: "It's okay during the day, but this evening, there are bursts of women's cries from the river. And as soon as they reached the river, they would jump down as if something was attracting them. What's even stranger is that it stands to reason that when it rains, the rivers are speeding up, and the corpses should go downstream, but the next day the corpses will still come upstream, and the hearts of those corpses are dug up. ”
Shen Chen hurriedly asked, "When did this happen, why haven't I heard you say it before?"
Zhang Bo looked at the river and sighed: "It's been more than half a month since this happened. There have been strange things in the past. But none of them come as a surprise. No one lost their lives, and we suspected that it was a child's prank. I didn't pay attention to it, but for half a month, every night someone would jump into the river by themselves. No matter how heavy the rain falls or how fast the river is, the corpses will be sent back. So I guessed that there might be a monster in the river. ”
Wen Bailing thought about it, wasn't half a moon when something happened in the Seven Star Palace? And the turbidity here is so dark, and there are so many shows how hateful the resentment should be. The master also said that the Wraith Bead is the better it is, the more evil it is, the more evil it is, and it must be that the things in this river must have picked up the fragments of the Wraith Bead to increase their own cultivation. Only now do I dare to be so presumptuous.
Wen Bailing asked Uncle Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, may I ask what happened in this river before?"
Chambers paused and then said helplessly, "No."
Wen Bailing found that Uncle Zhang was a little wrong when he answered, so he asked again: "Uncle Zhang, didn't you just say that there would always be some strange things in the past?"
Chambers paused and smiled awkwardly: "Oh, I'm old and confused. In the past, there were often things on the surface of this river for no reason. For example, some people will see a large fish swimming around the river. Some people also saw women bathing in the river at night. ”
"What about those people? What happened to them? Shen Chen asked anxiously.
Uncle Zhang thought for a moment and replied, "Some of those people are dead. Some people don't know how to go down the river, but it's fine. ”
Shen Chen said respectfully, "That's it, Uncle Zhang, since you said that there is only movement at night, then let's come back in the evening." ”
"That's fine, yes. The big guys in the town have thought of you coming all the way and have already arranged a place for you to stay. Let's go, I'll take you there. After Zhang Bo finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the road he had just come.
Wen Bailing also glanced at the river when she left, and felt that things were not as simple as Uncle Zhang said. So what is he hiding?
