Chapter 14: Blood Lotus Blooms
According to Chu Zhantian's fiery temper, he directly wanted to slaughter the county order and Chen Shoushan, but his wife had different opinions.
This woman of the Chu family is famous. Fallen Leaf Town belongs to the border town of Yanhuang Ancient Kingdom, and she is the sister of the current monarch's sister, lonely as smoke.
This person's personality has always been strong, and when he comes up with that stubbornness, even the current monarch has to retreat, lest he avoid it, and naturally he will not take the county order of this small town in his eyes.
It's just that the laws of the ancient country of Yanhuang are strict, and there is no conclusive evidence, so he killed the county order in front of everyone, which is really unreasonable, and this matter also involves Yin Haifeng.
The county government was too small to fit so many people, so under the advice of the old housekeeper Zhuge Chunyi, Chu Zhantian set up the public hall at the entrance of the vegetable market, which immediately attracted a large number of onlookers.
Chu Zhantian sat in the first seat, on the left hand side was as silent as smoke, on the right side were Moying and Yin Haifeng, the Chu family members were separated on both sides, each with a cold expression, holding a bright blade in his hand, the scene was very scary.
"Tell me, what's going on here?" Silence was like a smoke with a smile on his face, but this smile was comparable to that of a demon, and it made people shudder and be frightened at a glance.
"This ......" the county magistrate bowed, his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and secretly glanced at the silence, and explained the ins and outs of the matter carefully......
In the end, he said tremblingly: "At that time, Chen Shoushan sent Chu Yan and the confession to the hands of the lower officials, and the lower officials sent people to report to the Criminal Department for approval in accordance with the law, and they didn't know anything else. ”
"You're a good talker, but you've picked yourself clean. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Shoushan below: "Tell me too, what's going on with this confession, did you forge it?"
"The grass people are wronged. Chen Shoushan "pounced" and knelt down, "It was Chu Yan who confessed by himself, he did kill the grandson of the grass people, and the people in the Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall can all testify." ”
"Okay, bring all the people in the Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall. ”
As soon as he commanded, he saw the family behind him turn away, and after a while, Xu Zhenyuan and those students were pulled over.
"Say, what did you see at that time?" Chu Zhantian shouted violently, so frightened that these people immediately trembled, so he talked nonsense and told the whole thing one by one.
It's just that Chu Yan used soul hypnosis at that time to completely change his appearance, and the students in the martial arts hall who did it had already been killed by Chen Shoushan to vent his anger at this time, so it had nothing to do with Chu Yan at all.
"Chen Shoushan, is this the evidence you said?"
Silent as smoke, his eyes were cold, and then he glanced at Xu Zhenyuan and the others, and said coldly: "Which of you saw it, my Yan'er was in the martial arts hall at that time, and who saw it, how did my Yan'er kill people?"
The voice is not loud, but it is full of endless majesty, which is a unique characteristic of staying in the top position for a long time, how can these ordinary people stand it, and immediately tremble all over their bodies, shaking their heads again and again.
Seeing this, Chen Shoushan was a little breathless, and asked sharply: "Xu Zhenyuan, didn't you say that the murderer was in the cabin in Jinye Village?
"Yes...... Yes, but the murderer was not Chu Yan, maybe after that person went in, he left again. ”
"You...... You ......" Chen Shoushan glared, if he couldn't pass this pass today, I am afraid that his Chen family would disappear completely.
"President Yin, you know this matter well, ...... at that time"
"This matter has nothing to do with the old man. Without waiting for Chen Shoushan to finish speaking, Yin Haifeng hurriedly opened his mouth.
Seeing this, Chen Shoushan was completely desperate, sitting on the ground, his eyes were scattered, the family that had been painstakingly run for several generations was probably coming to an end today.
"Hmph...... I didn't expect the Chen family to have today, they should have died a long time ago. ”
"Yes, especially Chen Yuqing's kid, he is simply a bully, he usually bullies men and women, does all kinds of bad things, and his death is also his evil retribution. ”
"yes, I can't find the murderer, but I falsely accuse a four-year-old child, it's just a crazy bastard. ”
At this time, the surrounding people spoke out one after another, telling all the crimes committed by the Chen family.
I felt that it was almost, and the silence was as good as smoke, "Chen Shoushan, you are rich and unkind, you do evil, in the fish and meat township, and set up a private torture hall, exercise the power of the monarch, and falsely accuse Chu Yan of committing murder, this kind of evil behavior is simply indignant to people and gods, and heaven is intolerable, I will do the right thing for heaven today, come on......"
As he spoke, he commanded: "Correct Chen Shoushan on the spot and calm the anger of the people." ”
As soon as the words fell, a family member had already rushed forward, and with a wave of his bright long sword, he cut off Chen Shoushan's head.
Seeing this, the county magistrate on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and fortunately he reacted quickly, otherwise he would not have gotten it and would not have ended well, but he didn't want to let him go.
After counting more than a dozen counts of this goods, he handed over the county order to the Criminal Department for issuance, and then turned his head to look at Yin Haifeng: "President Yin, I don't know if you have any different opinions about this kind of treatment?"
"I didn't ...... No. ”
Yin Haifeng's old face flushed, "The eldest princess is decent, distinguishes between right and wrong, and gets rid of the true evil and corrupt officials of the fallen leaves, which is really a blessing for the people, and the old man admires it." ”
Thank you President Yin for your compliment, the little woman is ashamed. ”
As he spoke, Silence Ruyan stretched out his hand: "I have heard for a long time that President Yin is a genius in alchemy, and I have been hit by the Soul Binding Pill in Yan'er, and I also ask President Yin to give me an antidote." ”
"Ah, this ......" Yin Haifeng smiled dryly: "It's a coincidence, the old man happened to have an antidote pill in his hand, and fortunately he gave it to the eldest princess." ”
Seeing this scene, the ink shadow next to him smiled bitterly, and at the same time praised the silence like smoke.
The heart said that the rumors from the outside world were really true, the hand that hid the knife in the smile and the needle in the cotton was really beautiful, but it was much stronger than Chu Zhantian, who was thick and hot-tempered.
After this incident, Chu Yan followed Chu Zhantian and his wife back to the imperial capital of the ancient kingdom of Yanhuang, Yanhuang City, and the ten years passed quietly in the blink of an eye.
......
Fighting Soul Continent, the imperial capital of the ancient country of Yanhuang, Yanhuang City.
The tall city walls, the scattered and magnificent buildings of various colors, the noisy streets, the traffic and the bustling crowd...... The whole Yanhuang City is stable and prosperous, and it is a happy scene.
On the edge of this bustling city, there is a manor house that is out of place.
The whole manor is built on the mountain, ingenious, exquisite, a clear stream runs through the east and west, gathered in the lotus pond in the distance, exuding a quaint atmosphere everywhere.
At this time, Chu Yan was almost fifteen years old, sitting cross-legged in the woods by the river, cultivating with all his might.
The fighting soul in his body had already awakened, it was the fighting soul of the six-grade earth and fire, but under Chu Yan's deliberate adjustment, it seemed that there were only four-grade, but despite this, it also made Chu Zhantian and his wife happy enough.
You must know that with the dual attributes of earth and fire, you can become an alchemist, and there is no such thing in the Chu family at present.
From that time on, the two began to fantasize that in the near future, Chu Yan would definitely soar into the sky, and the future was limitless.
But I don't know what the reason is, since he was four years old, Chu Yan has been cultivating here every day, but his cultivation has not made any progress.
Now that ten years have passed, there is still no achievement, and it has been stuck in the original appearance, the first order of the Awakening Realm.
At this time, it was getting late, Chu Zhantian and Silent were like smoke, standing on the edge of the woods, looking at Chu Yan, who was still engrossed in cultivation, his brows were tightly locked, and he shook his head and sighed.
Both of them are masters of the Tongtian Realm, and they have fire attribute five-grade fighting souls, which is already remarkable in the entire Yanhuang Ancient Kingdom, and they naturally know everything about cultivation.
Although Chu Yan's current situation, they are not very clear, but ten years have passed, and there is no progress in cultivation, I am afraid that in the future, I can only be an ordinary person, and the previous fiery heart has long been frozen now.
Just thinking about it, it's good to be an ordinary person, with the power of the Chu family, he is not afraid that someone will dare to bully him.
In fact, Chu Yan's current situation is only clear to him. Carrying the double six-rank fighting soul of earth and fire, how can he be an ordinary person.
However, for a whole ten years, with the assistance of various pills, his cultivation made no progress, which was also an indisputable fact, and as for the reason, it was all caused by the shriveled blood lotus.
It was because of this thing that Chu Yan worked hard every day, and all the heaven and earth elements that he had absorbed from his cultivation were robbed.
At first, he didn't care too much, thinking that as long as he fed the blood lotus, it would be no problem, so he also refined various pills to increase his cultivation.
But who would have thought that this thing was like a bottomless pit, which made Chu Yan's cultivation make no progress.
However, there seems to be movement in the past few days, because he clearly senses that the shriveled blood lotus has been full of luster, and a petal is beginning to move, and it is slowly opening, so he desperately sends the energy over.
Before you know it, the time has come to the middle of the night, and everyone has fallen asleep.
At this time, Chu Yan was still sitting in the woods by the river, frantically absorbing the elements of heaven and earth, and the petals that were about to move seemed to be ready to open at any time.
The elements of heaven and earth frantically poured into Chu Yan's body, and the next moment, he was unceremoniously snatched away by the blood lotus, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid he would have exploded and died a long time ago, and there would be no scum left.
But despite this, Chu Yan also felt very uncomfortable, and the pain all over his body was unbearable.
This time is very dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will cause an irreparable situation, and maybe a small life will be put into it.
But Chu Yan didn't stop, the blood lotus finally showed signs of blooming under his continuous watering for ten years, and I believe that no matter who it is, it is impossible to let it go easily.
And he was also very curious about what kind of situation it would be after this petal opened, and a kind of consciousness faintly told him that this matter was definitely not simple.
An undetectable blood-colored light emanated from Chu Yan's body, enveloping him in it.
At the same time, the body also became illusory, looking a little unreal, and the petals finally vibrated violently.
It's a little bit close, it's a little bit close......
Chu Yan was very angry in his heart, biting the tip of his tongue, and a wisp of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, this was because he was afraid that he would pass out, because he was not sure that he missed this opportunity, and when would he have to wait.
The heaven and earth elements in the woods suddenly emptied, and even the small river that had been flowing smoothly on the opposite side began to vibrate.
Chu Yan opened his eyes violently, his eyeballs were already covered with bloodshots, and he was trying his best to bulge forward, coupled with the increasingly dazzling blood light around his body, it looked a little hideous and weird.
A loud "boom" broke the originally quiet night.
The furious energy was like an invisible blade, overwhelming the mountains and seas, and the rivers that burst their banks scattered in all directions, leveling the entire forest to the ground, and at the same time alarming everyone in the manor.
In Chu Yan's impression, a large group of people rushed over, and the petals that were about to move finally opened, and then he didn't know anything and fell headlong.
