144~145, the Huang family's mansion, a crazy person
Bell Bell –
After finishing the exercise, Chen Zheng lightly hammered his chest, and suddenly made a heavier metal impact sound.
As the strength subsided, the crimson luster on his skin faded, but his eyes were extremely satisfied.
In the past few days, he spent time concocting another golden jade paste that specializes in cultivating the unbroken vajra, and directly sealed it as the vajra spirit treasure ointment.
After a few days of consumption and refining, and under the refining of powerful medicinal power, the realm of the Xuantie body increased again, directly to perfection, and began to march towards the second-level red bronze body.
After a period of time, the residual medicinal power will be formally digested, and it will inevitably be able to steadily advance to the realm of the red bronze body, and at that time, the physical strength will inevitably rise to a big level again.
Of course, even now, his physical strength has increased a lot compared to a few days ago.
"After three months of practicing to become a Xuantie body, and entering the red bronze body, I don't know if the creator of this exercise is as fast as me?"
Chen Zheng touched his chin and sighed silently.
It has only been more than three months since the practice of "Not Bad King Kong" has been completed until today.
Not bad King Kong is a person's absolute true skill, the difficulty is not low, according to the progress of a normal martial artist, there is no three or five years of hard work, don't want to practice to the first level, he has been hanging for more than three months and has initial success, how a cool word.
That's when it happened.
Outside the hospital, there was a sudden knock on the door, and at the same time, the familiar voices of Chai Tiefeng and Chang Qing came:
"My lord, are you at home?"
Chen Zheng's heart moved, quickly put on his clothes, and opened the courtyard door:
"What's the matter?"
Outside the door, the two of them led the horse and stood respectfully, and Chai Tiefeng arched his hand and said:
"My lord, just now the division received a report that a farm outside the city is suspected of being evil, so he ordered me to wait to investigate."
It's finally here.
After being a shopkeeper for a few days, Chen Zheng suddenly came to his senses when he heard that there was an evil spirit:
"What's going on?"
Chang Qing quickly said:
"I heard that the farm has been haunted frequently these days, and the sound of ghosts crying can be heard at night, and the son of the landlord of the farm boasts that he has some ability, and takes the young man to patrol the village at night to keep vigil, but somehow he bumps into the evil, and becomes crazy.
The landlord of the farm did not dare to let the Evil Division know, and all the reports came to the Supervision Department. It's your duty again today, so ......"
"Okay."
Just listening to this, he couldn't figure out why, Chen Zheng nodded and said:
"Call Han Kaiyun, Ding Laiyou, go to that farm and have a look!"
Without saying a word, he simply cleaned up, and then returned to the Supervision Department with the two of them to collect the documents and prepare the papers, and then took four of his subordinates to run out of the palace and go out of the city.
Winter is about to fall, fresh clothes and angry horses, straight out of the city from the avenue, and the endless farmland that has been harvested is the sky and the earth.
After leaving the city, there was no limit to the speed, and everyone rushed along the field avenue, and after running all the way out of more than ten miles, Chai Tiefeng suddenly pointed not far away:
"My lord, No. 5 Zhuang of B, that's it!"
Chen Zheng looked at it, and saw that less than a mile away, the avenue extended a small road, and at the end of a small road, a large Zhuangzi surrounded by wooden thorn fences was impressively sitting.
In this world, evil demons are raging, all the fields are cultivated around the city, there are more than 100,000 acres of farmland outside the city of Lingqiu County, and there are more than 20 farms of all sizes.
The farm they went to was one of the larger ones, with more than 500 tenants in the village, all of which were close to the size of a village.
So he turned around and went straight to this farm, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi, he saw two men who were still strong men holding iron spears and met them with some nervousness:
"My lords, ...... of you?"
Without Chen Zheng to speak, Chang Qing had already shouted:
"This is Lord Chen, the inspector of the government office, where is the owner of your village, lead us quickly!"
"Yes, yes, please come with us!"
As soon as they heard that it was from the government, the two men nodded hurriedly, turned around and trotted towards Zhuangzi to lead the way.
Chen Zheng pulled the reins and followed.
This village looks like a village, with one or two simple avenues, earthen houses on the left and right sides, and better ones with fences to cover them, making a simple courtyard;
Almost, it's just a single dilapidated thatched mud house, and I don't know how to survive the cold winter of the barrenness.
It is worth mentioning that hearing this movement, these rooms have poked out faces with vegetables, men and women, old and young, the only thing that is the same is that the face is yellow and thin, and it looks like long-term malnutrition.
Apparently, these are the tenants of the farm.
However, the appearance of these people is really not good, especially when they saw the official robes and errand costumes on Chen Zheng and others, they retracted their heads in fear, like a mouse seeing a cat.
At this scene, Chen Zheng frowned slightly:
"These should all be tenants in the Zhuangzi, why is there not enough land to plant?"
Chai Tiefeng was obviously used to it, and said:
"Adults don't know that Zhuangzi, which ranks B, also has two or three thousand acres of fields, which is enough to feed these hundreds of tenants. Of course, they were all planted for the landlords, and all they could get into their hands was the rations, and they only starved to death. ”
Chen Zheng did not speak.
He thought of the village outside the rudder of the Tianmu Divine Sect again, and he only felt sarcastic.
And all the way.
After a while, they arrived at the innermost part of the Zhuangzi, in front of a very magnificent mansion.
This house is a big house, at least a big house with three entrances and three exits, and the walls are nearly one zhang high.
As soon as the porter guarding the door saw Chen Zheng and the others, he hurriedly ran in to report, and then a middle-aged man dressed in silk and dressed in luxury walked forward quickly with a few personal servants:
"In Xia Huang Debiao, I have seen the adults of the Supervision Department, and I am not welcome, don't be surprised!"
The man who spoke had an anxious look in his eyebrows, and he was naturally the landlord of this No. 5 Village.
Chen Zheng turned over and dismounted, and he didn't talk nonsense:
"I received a report that your Zhuangzi is haunted, and your son has hit an evil spirit? Where are the others now? ”
Sitting on thousands of acres of land, his eyesight far exceeds that of ordinary people, Huang Debiao took a look at Chen Zheng's figure and temperament, and determined that there were definitely two brushes on his body, and he relaxed slightly:
"Yes, please come with me, sir."
Chen Zheng and the others casually handed the hemp rope to Huang Debiao's family, and then followed the other party straight into the mansion.
This house is much bigger than what Chen Zheng lives in the city, with rockery gardens, pavilions, pavilions, and pavilions, all of which are obviously very wealthy.
Soon, walking through the courtyard and cloister, and coming to a remote courtyard in the back house, I heard the rattling of chains and the roar of beasts in a room:
"Kill, kill, kill, kill!"
"Dead and dead!"
"You're all going to die!"
The voice was weird, Chen Zheng's eyes moved slightly, and Huang Debiao immediately stepped forward to open the locked door in person, and said bitterly:
"My lord, please see, what the hell is going on?"
Chen Zheng stepped in, and saw an iron shelf erected in the middle of the room, and at the same time, a thin man with a disheveled hair was tied to the shelf with thick chains, constantly screaming and struggling.
Looking at his description, his face was hideous and blue, his muscles were bulging, his cheeks were sunken, and only skin and bones were left all over his body, but his eyes radiated a crazy bloodthirsty light, and he roared wildly at Huang Debiao who came in.
It doesn't seem to be alienated......
Although the other party's demeanor was hideous, it was still a pediatric for Chen Zheng, who was used to seeing evil demons, his expression did not change at all, and he asked:
"How did he get to be like this?"
Huang Debiao's pampered face was sad and regretful:
"My son, Huang Dalang, was four days ago in the night, I heard that there was a sneaky appearance and took the young men in the Zhuangzi to look for it, but at that time, those young men said that they were looking for it, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and then their torches were all extinguished, and then Da Lang somehow suddenly went crazy, and indiscriminately began to attack the people around him.
When I received the news, I brought someone to arrive, and with great difficulty I subdued him and brought him back. But he seemed to have lost his mind, and he couldn't even recognize me, the father, and it was like he had degenerated into a beast!
I had no choice but to be chained for the time being. But I don't know what's going on, after he was tied up, he lost weight day by day, and became a bone and a straight pin, as if his qi, blood, and flesh were constantly losing, and most of the cultivation he had been practicing for two or three days had been lost, which was incredible!
In order to save him, in the past two days, I looked for doctors everywhere and invited many famous doctors to visit him, but they all said that they could not do anything after a few glances, but only one saw some clues, saying that it was possible to hit the evil spirit, and it was necessary to get rid of the evil spirit, so that it was possible to restore the original state.
But adults should also know that those people in the Evil Division are often shouting and shouting to kill the evil people, and I really don't dare to invite them over, so I bother to ask the adults of the Supervision Department to come and save my son, if he is saved, he will definitely thank him heavily! ”
Huang Debiao is also a big landowner, and the thank you gift for saving his son will definitely not be less, Chai Tiefeng, Chang Qing and others suddenly showed a look of interest, but Chen Zheng stepped forward with a surging expression and looked at it slightly:
"You said that after he fell into the evil spirit, his qi and blood began to drain?"
Huang Debiao said bitterly:
"That's right, although my eldest son is not a weapon, his talent is not bad, and he continues to take up medicinal supplements every month, and he has also reached the realm of practicing the marrow, and his physique is quite strong.
But it has only been a few days since he struck the evil spirit, and the person has become like this, and I have to find a way to pour him a lot of tonic decoction every day, so that he will not die of weakness......"
That's interesting......
Chen Zheng asked again:
"What about the so-called evil? Did Huang Dalang encounter any evil spirits after he hit the evil spirit? ”
Huang Debiao hesitated:
"Yes. I don't know if it's because my eldest man brought something unclean into the house after he hit the evil spirit, these days there are always people who can hear a ghost crying in the middle of the night, but I mobilized people to turn over the house by hand, and I didn't find any traces.
I suspect that if I want to cure my son, I am afraid that I will have to solve the problem at the source. The patrol makes the lord mighty, and must restrain these ghosts, can the lord stay in my house for two nights to get rid of the sneaky? There will be heavy thanks below, and the adults will never be allowed to work in vain! ”
"You've got some insight."
Chen Zheng glanced at him, nodded and said:
"It's nothing to stay here for two nights, but I know myself and the enemy, and I have to ask a few young men who walked with Huang Dalang that day to understand the situation."
"No problem, no problem!"
Huang Debiao hurriedly agreed:
"Those young people are recuperating at home, I'll let the housekeeper take you there!"
As he spoke, he summoned a middle-aged man with sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and an unattractive appearance:
"Steward Tang, go, take this adult to those young and strong homes!"
Steward Tang took the order, nodded to Chen Zheng and the others, and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me."
Chen Zheng didn't say much, waved his hand and took four of his subordinates out of the house with each other, and went to the homes of those young and strong.
Zhuangzi was not very old in total, and after a while, Steward Tang led him to a small courtyard of a decent earthen house, and after knocking on the door, a young peasant woman came out in panic:
"Don, Steward Tang?"
Steward Tang pretended to smile kindly:
"How's your cow recovering? Mr. Huang invited a few adults from the Supervision Department to come over and want to ask, is it okay? ”
The peasant woman glanced at Chen Zheng and the others, and lowered her head with some fear:
"Big, the big cow can't get out of bed yet, but just asking, it should be okay, everyone, please come in ......"
Chen Zheng nodded, and walked into the simple courtyard first, and entered the earthen house.
The room was simple and dark, and at the same time filled with a pungent smell of medicine, and I saw a short and stout man lying on the bed wrapped in dirty bandages, trying to get up:
"Don, Steward Tang, these are ......"
"You don't need to get up, you don't need to get up."
Steward Tang hurriedly stopped him, and tried to make a friendly appearance:
"This is the inspector of the Supervision Department, Lord Chen Zheng, he wants to ask you some questions, you can just lie down and answer truthfully."
Da Niu coughed twice and looked at Chen Zheng and the others in awe:
"My lord, you can ask whatever you want, the grass people must know everything."
Chen Zheng looked at him: "Your body was injured by Huang Dalang after he collided with the evil spirit?" ”
Steward Tang's face was a little embarrassed, and Da Niu nodded weakly:
"Yes."
"When and where did he hit the evil?"
"Not long after the third watch, the northwest side of Zhuangzi."
"Did you people see and hear anything?"
"Listen, hear. We first heard a very strange cry, like a man and a woman, which made it difficult to distinguish, and everyone was frightened at that time, and the eldest prince immediately led us to find the source of the sound.
As a result, before we could find anything, suddenly a very cold wind blew over, and it blew out all the torches in our hands, and then, and then the eldest prince suddenly went crazy for some reason, and began to attack all of us, and even two of them were ...... by him on the spot."
Speaking of this, a look of fear suddenly appeared on Da Niu's pale face, and Steward Tang on the side coughed again and again.
Chen Zheng glanced at him indifferently:
"If you interfere again, get out of here."
Steward Tang's face froze, and he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.
Chen Zheng turned his gaze back:
"And then, is that all?"
Da Niu smiled bitterly:
"I don't know what happened next, because I was far away from the eldest prince at the time, and after a few hits, I hurriedly ran away, and I fainted halfway......"
"Okay, you can rest."
Chen Zheng didn't say much, and immediately walked out of the house, and said to Steward Tang, who was cowering and following behind:
"Take us to a few more questions."
A small farm housekeeper, even if Chen Zheng was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only nod his head and say yes, and took everyone to several other houses.
It's just that just like the big bull just now, these people are not lightly injured, and the situation they know is exactly the same, so they can't ask anything else.
Seeing this situation, after coming out of the fourth house, Chen Zheng immediately said:
"Okay, Steward Tang, you can go back by yourself, a few of us will go around the Zhuangzi, visit and visit, and go back by ourselves in a while."
"But ......"
Steward Tang was just about to say something, but when he met Chen Zheng's indifferent eyes, he immediately shrank his neck and said with a smile:
"That's good, that's good, my lords, please take care of yourself."
With that, he honestly retreated and went back to the Huang family's mansion on his own.
And after this person left, Chang Qingqi said: "My lord, what did you find?" ”
"There is a good saying, it is called no wind and no waves."
A sneer appeared on the corner of Chen Zheng's mouth, and he instructed the four of his subordinates:
"You guys, go to this house to inquire and see what the Huang family has done recently!"
