Yang Jianxin left, and it was quiet again.

At this time, there were no other chores to bother Zhou An, and Zhou An began to become proficient in earnest.

During the period, there was nothing else, so this law was maintained, and Zhou An has been silent.

Except for eating, he didn't even read those materials, and maintained a high-intensity bath every day.

Of course, that barrel suffered a lot of grievances, but fortunately he couldn't speak.

Many days passed like this.

……

Zhou An sat on the chair, poured himself a cup of tea, looked at the smoke in front of him, and let out a sigh.

After the smoke appeared, it gradually condensed, and finally turned into a line of text, which appeared in front of Zhou An's eyes.

【Please select a direction】

[Holy Spirit: Purify +1, Dispel +1]

[Evil Spirit: Terror +1, Evil +1]

Or two choices, Zhou An did not hesitate to choose the skill of the Holy Spirit.

When he finished choosing, the proficiency in front of him disappeared.

The smoke turned into a large amount of information and drilled into Zhou An's mind.

Zhou An closed his eyes and absorbed all the contents, then opened his eyes.

Purify this attribute reaches a level of +2, and the effect on the curse gradually deepens.

The other attribute is called dispel.

The so-called dispersal is actually very simple.

Previously, his purification could only be used for himself.

It is now possible to influence others by means of dispersal.

Especially for the kind of person who uses negative status as a means of attack, he is against the other side.

As long as it is within his range and hits his dispel, then it will have the corresponding effect.

And, most importantly.

This dispel not only dispels negative effects, but also dispels positive effects.

That is, someone comes to him with a bunch of positive effects, and he only needs a dispel......

Thinking of this, Zhou An stood up.

He first placed the Pure Heart Grass on the table, and then he used a dispel against his shadow.

A layer of white light appeared from Zhou An's fingers, and then fell on his shadow.

The next moment, the shadow distorted, and the woman in black appeared.

It's still a well-dressed, but bumpy black garment that makes you want to commit a crime.

Even if it is tightly wrapped, it is difficult to stop the blood-boiling figure.

After the woman in black appeared, she stretched out her white hand again, wanting to press it on Zhou An's chest.

But before this action was completed, the body of the woman in black began to writhe gradually, as if it was difficult to adapt to Zhou An's white light, and a painful expression appeared on her face.

But that's all there is to it, the pain of the woman in black flashes in the shadows.

Zhou An could feel it, but he didn't get rid of it completely.

Actually, this is also normal, because his level is only level three.

After Zhou An thoroughly understood this skill, he was already able to use it flexibly.

If his strength is high, the level of this skill is high, and when he purifies it, it is likely that the woman in black will disappear completely.

"It's effective, but it's not much, wait until the skill level is higher." Zhou Anxin thought about it.

Then, a knife split the woman in black in half, without the slightest intention of pity and cherishing jade.

The woman in black melted into the shadows again, revealing her pale face again.

This time, Zhou An didn't try again, but put the Qingxin grass back into the pink money bag.

The Qingxin Grass shook, and the figure of the woman in black completely disappeared into the shadows.

Level 3 skills weren't enough to solve it, but now there was a new way and hope.

Zhou An felt the change in the shadows and felt that he had to hurry.

But......

You can't rely on this one skill alone, even if you want to destroy the woman in black, you can't spend your time on one skill.

Zhou An pondered, now there are a large number of secret materials, and there are ready-made casting rooms and a large number of iron materials.

He felt he had to divide his time.

After thinking about it, Zhou An decided to use the liver fusion casting method in the morning, read these materials in the afternoon, and practice the Holy Spirit in the evening.

As for how the skill of the Holy Spirit works, in fact, Zhou An has already had a method.

He turned his head to look at the barrel, and then, jumping straight in, he cast a dispel on himself.

After the dispersal was used, a layer of white light appeared on the barrel, and a line of smoke appeared in front of his eyes.

After the smoke emerged, a line of text was condensed.

【Holy Spirit +1】

Since it's related to dispelling, he's just going to do it.

"In another way, it really improved my proficiency." Zhou An rubbed his hands.

It was morning, and he decided to proceed according to what he had just thought, so he walked towards the casting room next to him, intending to fuse the casting method at once.

The casting room is large, and there is also a large amount of iron in it.

The people of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce are very sensible, and they have prepared everything here, and there is a large pool next to it, which can also practice resisting water.

However, Zhou An now plans to put the fusion casting method up first.

Zhou An skillfully put the iron into the furnace, waited until the iron was red, then took it out and began to beat it.

The proficiency is rising, and Zhou An is getting more and more energetic.

The whole morning went by.

At noon, he went out to eat again, and when he came back, he directly picked up the box, opened the box, took out a book at random, and began to read it carefully.

"Sure enough, my basic knowledge was too weak before." Zhou An looked through the books and sat in the courtyard.

There is also a wicker chair in the courtyard.

This rattan chair is extremely comfortable to lie on, especially in this sunny and sunny weather, lying on the rattan chair and reading a book, Zhou An feels a little comfortable.

There is a lot of important knowledge in the book, even if you are a person who has stepped into the industry, you may not know it.

The more Zhou An looked down, the more he felt that this transaction was worth it.

Immediately after that, he became obsessed with the contents of the books.

The afternoon passed by.

When it was almost evening, Zhou An put the book aside, went out for dinner, and then returned home, entered the wooden barrel and began to practice the proficiency of the Holy Spirit skill.

This liver is a night that has passed.

Fortunately, Zhou An is now a first-class master, and sleep has long been a dispensable thing for him.

Unless it's a day when he wants to try something normal, he takes a nap.

Now that I have a new goal, I naturally don't sleep anymore.

The real horror of a Liver Emperor is that after having a goal, he must achieve this goal.

When morning came, the wooden barrel in front of Zhou An was no longer the same.

Due to the continuous use of the Holy Spirit, this wooden barrel even reflects a luster, like jade.

Zhou An felt that this thing could be sold for money when it was taken out, and it was worth a lot of money.

This night, the proficiency also increased a little, and after reaching the third level, although it was a little slow, Zhou An had time.

Time seems to be very tight for him, but once he is free, it is extremely abundant.

"Have a meal and continue to come back to the Liver Fusion Casting Method."

After Zhou An finished washing, he stretched, opened the door again, and walked out.

Fenglin Prefecture is naturally much bigger than Tingyun Mansion, and even those stalls are doing brisk business.

Zhou An is not usually a person who pays attention to food and clothing, but at least the food should be in line with the taste.

In Tingyun Mansion before, he liked to eat noodles at that noodle stall.

The eating habits of Fenglin Prefecture are very different from those of Tingyun Mansion now.

For breakfast here, it's no longer noodles, but I like to make steamed buns, fritters and porridge.

Of course, Zhou An doesn't have a fixed eating habit.

He is a person who is at ease with what he encounters, so he found a steamed bun shop and ate it according to his fate.

It didn't take long for a basket of hot buns to be served, along with a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork.

Zhou An was eating while enjoying the nourishment of the food.

In fact, Zhou An feels that breakfast is very important to a person.

A pleasant breakfast can energize the day.

In the past, when he went to work, no matter how busy he was, he would eat breakfast slowly and methodically.

He can also wake up early for a breakfast.

Now that he has arrived in the Great Chu Kingdom, Zhou An's habit has become more and more profound.

Next to him, a few people were eating and chatting about their daily routines.

The noisy sound is not only not boring, but is full of some urban atmosphere that makes people feel like they are lingering.

When I was young, I liked to eat at the breakfast stall and listen to the chatter of the surrounding neighbors.

The scene is very similar to before.

Breakfast shop, a bowl of gruel, a basket of steamed buns.

With the sound of talking around him, Zhou An ate this meal very comfortably.

After settling the bill, he was ready to go home and continue the liver fusion casting method.

There will be a qualitative change after this skill reaches level six, and Zhou An is looking forward to it.

But no sooner had he stood up than there was a sound of gongs and drums beating at the corner of the street.

This sound sounds extremely harsh during the day, and at the same time, there is also the suona of the king of musical instruments running through it.

Zhou Anzhong was curious, so he looked at it.

As a result, I saw a bunch of people, carrying a coffin, walking towards this side.

Everyone was dressed in sackcloth and had a white cloth on their heads.

The sound of suona came from this funeral procession.

Many people were also curious at first, but after taking a look, they silently recited a word of bad luck and turned their heads to stop looking.

In the morning, everyone was happy, but now they met the funeral procession, which is indeed bad enough for the people.

Zhou An didn't have these evasions, and looked at it with a little interest.

Because he found that the funeral procession was not an ordinary person.

There was a faint aura on this person's body, all of which were made up of people in the middle of the line.

"It's early in the morning, and it's okay to meet a funeral procession, but it's all composed of people in the line, which is a bit fun."

Thinking of this, the owner of the steamed bun shop happened to pass by, so Zhou An asked casually.

The owner of the bun shop looked at the funeral procession that was gradually moving away, and then whispered: "It's from the Fuguang Dart Bureau, I heard that the recent trip to the dart has caused them to lose more than ten people, and the old dart owner seems to be angry because of this matter, and today is the day when the old dart master went out to bury." ”

The stall owner of the steamed bun stall only said a few words, as if he didn't dare to say more, so he left directly.

Zhou An touched his chin, and when he heard the words Fuguang Dart Bureau, he felt quite unfamiliar.

But I thought of the weird team I encountered on the official road that day.

That team of weird was a dart master before he was alive, and they all walked on the yin dart, died on the road of life and death, and finally turned into weird, and were killed by Zhou An with a knife.

The so-called road of life and death, Zhou An now understands.

After all, I read a lot of information yesterday, and there is a mention of life and death.

This involves the special ability of the dart master.

When this line of work is darts, it will open up a unique path through a special technique.

This road is called the road of life and death.

And this road, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter, but it is weird but easy to enter.

Therefore, if you take the road of life and death, it means that the dart is very important, and you must not let the people in the line know, even if you encounter weirdness.

As for the danger, only they know.

Zhou An estimated that this situation was a bit wrong.

If you open a dart game, anyone will encounter a dead person, and you will not be angry with the old dart owner directly.

Of course, although he felt that something was wrong, he didn't think much about it, and turned his head and prepared to leave.

He still has to go back and read the materials, how can he have time to do these things here.

On the way back, it was smooth.

When Zhou An returned home, he continued to look at the information given by the emperor.

This is an afternoon.

In the evening, Zhou An went out as usual, ate two stir-fried vegetables, and after returning home, he planned to continue his words.

At this moment, he suddenly stopped what he was doing, and then cast his eyes to the location of the gate.

With Zhou An's current strength as a first-class master, he had already sensed that there was a group of people standing at the gate, and the footsteps were in a hurry.

"What's the situation?"

As soon as he had the thought in his mind, there was a knock on the door.

Zhou An'an was puzzled, came to the door, opened the door, and saw a few catchers standing at the door.

The catcher carried a lantern in his hand, and the flame of the lantern was erratic due to the night.

When Zhou An opened the door, the leader quickly hugged his fists and said, "May I ask if it is Lord Zhou who is the master of the craftsman?" ”

Zhou An nodded, indicating that he was.

He looked the catcher up and down and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The leader is about forty years old, has a knife around his waist, and looks like a good knife.

After getting Zhou An's reply, he hurriedly said: "Lord Zhou, something has happened, I may need your cooperation and go to the yamen with us." ”

"The state commander is already waiting there."

Zhou An frowned and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

He and the state order, but eight poles can't beat it.

He is in charge of the craftsman as the supervisor, and the state order is in charge of Fenglin State, if there is nothing to do, he really can't even intersect.

Zhou An didn't plan to go there, let alone have any knowledge with this state order, he just wanted to liver proficiency now.

But trouble seems to have come to the door.

Zhu Kuai showed a bitter smile: "Lord Zhou, don't embarrass us, we really don't know what the matter is, we only know that at night, a person ran to our yamen to report the case, and then Lord Zhou Ling called us over." ”

Hearing this, Zhou An also understood that this catcher might not really know what was going on.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "You guys wait for me outside." ”

How dare you say more, and quickly nod in agreement.

Zhou An returned to the room, and after putting the materials away, he opened the door: "Let's go." ”

Under the leadership of Capture Kuai, Zhou An soon came to Yamen.

Since it is the yamen of Fenglin Prefecture, it is naturally much larger than Tingyun Mansion, and even the fishing speed inside is a lot more.

At this moment, it was not dark inside the yamen, and lanterns were lit all around.

Even in the lobby, there is a lot of fire.

Many of them gathered inside, standing in two rows, all with serious faces.

And in the middle, sits a middle-aged man in state uniform.

The middle-aged man is handsome and looks majestic.

At the chin of a middle-aged man, he has a long beard, which is not only majestic, but also adds a bit of scholarly temperament.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was stroking his long beard with his hand, waiting patiently.

And below, there is a man in the rivers and lakes wearing linen clothes.

When Zhou An arrived, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone present turned their eyes to it.

Although Zhou An was puzzled in his heart, he still walked up and arched his hand: "This official Zhou An, I have seen adults, I don't know what to call adults?" ”

Since it is officialdom, Zhou An's name for himself has naturally changed.

The middle-aged man touched his long-bearded hand and put it down, and said with a smile: "The surname is Lu." ”

"Lord Lu called me late at night, there must be something." Zhou An asked.

Lu Zhouling nodded, then pointed to the Jianghu people standing under the lobby, and said, "Does Lord Zhou recognize this person?" ”

Zhou An glanced at it, then shook his head and said, "I don't recognize it." ”

The Jianghu man in front of him looked ordinary, and Zhou An didn't have any impression.

Who knew that after this sentence came out, the Jianghu man suddenly became excited, and complained about the landing state order.

"My lord, it's him! Once there is any problem with the dart, the breath on the black candle will be contaminated with the corresponding person. ”

"After the old dart master died today, we investigated it thoroughly and found that he had the breath left by a black candle on his body."

The people in the rivers and lakes pointed at Zhou An and said through gritted teeth.

Black candlesticks?

Zhou An naturally knows about the black candlestick, after all, he has read a lot of relevant information before.

The so-called black candlestick is a special means of dart masters.

Once they've made it, they'll hide it on their bodies.

In the event of any danger, it can not only act as a signal for rescue, but also allow the breath on the black candlestick to reach others.

And this can also allow the dart board to find out what the reason is when it is tracked down later.

Zhou An touched his chin and remembered the situation he encountered on the official road.

He killed the group of weird people, and he may have indirectly dyed the breath of the black candle.

But why did he come to him for some reason, he just killed a bunch of weird.

"And then?" Zhou An asked.

The people of the rivers and lakes finally reacted at this time, and said: "The breath of the yin candle is on you, you must have robbed the dart!" ”

Darts?

When Zhou An heard this, he also roughly understood.

He thought something was wrong, but it turned out that the gang thought that the dart had finally fallen into his hands.

Zhou Anxin thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Your team of dart masters, I did meet it, but when I met it, it had become weird, and I solved it with a knife, as for the darts, I didn't see it, and even if I did, it was probably destroyed by a knife." ”

When the words fell, the dart master became very excited: "You are talking nonsense, it is definitely you who are trying to kill for money!" ”

"I really haven't seen it." Zhou An frowned.

At this time, Lu Zhouling, who had been sitting on it, said: "Lord Zhou, that's the case, that dart seems to be very important to their dart game, and they said that there is a special method, and they can sense that the dart still exists, so they found the yamen and asked me to make the decision for them." ”

In fact, Zhou An felt that the whole thing was quite normal.

If there is a problem, solve it.

Since it is a matter that the yamen should deal with, and he has something to do with this matter, then cooperate to solve it.

But now that everything has been made clear, if the other party is still messing around, it will not be a problem.

Thinking of this, Zhou An said: "This trip, it was the driver of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce who drove and came with me, and he knew that I met the team of dart masters along the way, and I killed them all, and I didn't see your darts." ”

There are witnesses on my side, so there is no need to be verbose.

Who knew that when Zhou An said this, the dart master became even more excited.

"They must have colluded, and he definitely took the darts!"

When Zhou An heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter.

He always felt that this dart master was too excited.

Lu Zhouling hurriedly waved his hand: "Lord Zhou, this matter, please cooperate with us and investigate, after all, this matter involves a lot of lives, so it is difficult for me to do it." ”

Both sides are different institutions, but these things fall into the yamen, and at present, it is indeed the Lu Zhou Decree that should be managed, so the Lu Zhou Decree is also in accordance with the law.

Zhou An's frowning brows relaxed, then he looked at the dart master next to him, and suddenly said, "Who told you how to do it?" ”

The dart master was slightly stunned.

Zhou An continued: "Your emotions are too excited, and just based on the information left by the dart, it is a bit unreasonable to conclude that I took it, not to mention that I have a witness, you have no evidence, just rely on a black candle?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhou An turned his head to look at Lu Luzhou: "My lord, if there is evidence, I can cooperate, but now he doesn't even have evidence, how do you tell me to cooperate?" ”

"I am also an official of the imperial court, I still have my own things to do, stay here for a few days, and then no one will solve the matter on my side, won't it cause trouble to His Majesty the Emperor?"

The black candlestick is actually a word of the dart game.

He had also read those materials before, and once he found the object through the black candlestick, the breath of the black candlestick would naturally disappear.

To put it more clearly, even if you don't have it on yourself, the other party says that you have it, and your breath disappears, and the other party can also make another excuse, saying that it disappeared after finding it through a black candlestick.

What kind of evidence is this?

What's more, the dart master in front of him, he felt very suspicious.

The dart master reacted at this time and became even more excited: "Bloody mouth spewing people, Lord Lu, he is spewing people with blood mouth, you can't ...... just because he is an adult who is a craftsman and a prisoner."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Anle was happy.

"I don't know who's behind you, but it's funny to send you stupid."

By now, Zhou An has determined that there is someone behind this dart master, and it is aimed at himself.

Because of what the dart master said just now, the word craftsman was mentioned.

After I came here, I was quite low-key, and I guess even if I was in the middle of the line, I didn't know that the craftsman had changed to a new adult.

But this dart master mentioned it in one sentence, and it was obvious that he had investigated himself.

When the words fell, Lu Zhouling also heard the meaning, and shouted: "Tie this person up!" ”

Immediately, two catchers stepped forward and took down the dart master.

The master was pressed to the ground, still struggling frantically.

"Let go of me, let go of me! You are officials, and officials protect each other! We have lost more than a dozen people up and down in our dart game, and even the old dart master is gone, and you are still so official and official! ”

The dart master became extremely agitated and struggled constantly.

Zhou An frowned, and then came to the side of the dart master: "It's all about this, you still don't know what you exposed." ”

In his opinion, there is definitely something behind this guy, otherwise it would be impossible to aim at himself so accurately.

But when he finished saying this, the dart master was still in the same situation just now, and he scolded even harder.

This scene made Zhou An puzzled.

In fact, when it comes to this, you should understand everything, but the appearance of this dart master doesn't seem to be pretending.

Lu Zhouling also stood up at this time, came to Zhou An's side, looked at the dart master in front of him, and suddenly said, "Lord Zhou, how do I feel that what he said is true." ”

"You feel it too?" Zhou An raised his head and said.

"Either he acted well or he said it was true, but I lean towards the first possibility."

"Lord Lu, this matter is no longer in the hands of the Yamen."

That's right, in fact, up to now, it has been a dispute between the two people in the industry, and this matter should be the turn of the town commander.

This dart master is a bit abnormal, not only discovered it himself, but Lu Zhouling also discovered it.

Lu Zhouling heard Zhou An say this, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

According to the rules, when the dart master came to him to report the case just now, he would take it easily, but what is involved now is not his jurisdiction.

is not only because both of them are in the middle of the line, but also because Zhou An's current identity is different, and it is better to manage it through the Zhenwei Division.

But before Lu Zhouling could say this, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Zhou An turned his head to look and found that it was Hou Sizhou who led several members of the Town Trick Division to arrive.

"Lord Zhou, Lord Lu, hello two adults." Hou Sizhou arched his hand towards the two.

Zhou An said: "Lord Hou suddenly came to this mansion, there must be something, could it be because of this dart master?" ”

Although Lu Zhouling didn't say anything, he meant the same as Zhou An.

How could it be so coincidental?

As soon as he saw that something was wrong, Sizhou had already arrived.

If you want to say that there is nothing in this, the fool will not believe it.

When Hou Sizhou heard Zhou An say this, he nodded and said: "There is indeed something, the person in front of me is likely to be involved in a secret matter, so I personally came over to take him away." ”

Zhou An asked, "What's involved?" ”

Hou Sizhou fell into deep thought, as if there was something that could not be said.

Zhou An is very open to these things, since he can't say it, forget it.

After all, who doesn't have a secret these days?

This is not in Tingyun Mansion, this is a new place, and it is normal for the other party to keep something secret from you.

But there is one point, Zhou An must figure it out, and let Hou Sizhou figure it out.

Zhou An pointed to the dart master in front of him and said: "Lord Hou, there is something I want you to understand, now this fire is burning on me, this time you have a secret, I can leave it alone, and I won't ask about it, but if there is a second fire burning on me, I hope Lord Hou will not hide anything, if I do, I may deal with it in my own way." ”

Sizhou is different from Sifu, Sizhou is stronger than Sifu, and has more scope of control.

Hou Sizhou reported the fist: "Don't worry, Lord Zhou, this matter has nothing to do with you at present, maybe it was because you met it when you were on the official road, and it happened to happen, so this fire burned you, I promise that if there is a next time, I will tell Lord Zhou all the things investigated." ”

Zhou An nodded and didn't say anything more.

Soon, this group of people from the town of the Trickster took the dart master away.

After the dart master took it away, it was deserted again.

From the time the dart master was taken away to the recovery of the desertion, during the whole process, Lu Zhouling didn't say a word.

It was only after this Hou Sizhou left that Lu Zhouling touched the beard on his chin with his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Zhou is free, right?" ”

Zhou An turned his head and asked, "Is there something wrong with Lord Lu?" ”

"Of course there is something, Lord Zhou doesn't want to know, what is this Hou Sizhou doing?" Lu Zhouling said with a smile.

Zhou An narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

Sure enough, this is the way of the world.

The bigger the place, the more complicated things are, look at this meaning, there should be some problems between Luzhou Ling and Hou Sizhou.

I didn't say it just now, but now I won't say it until Hou Sizhou leaves, if you want to say that there is no problem, it is false.

Thinking of this, Zhou An nodded: "Want to say it here?" ”

"Of course not." Lu Zhouling shook his head and pointed to the courtyard behind him: "Go to the inner courtyard and say it." ”

As he spoke, Lu Zhouling led the way in front.

Zhou An touched his chin, followed behind him, and went to the inner courtyard.

The two walked like this, and soon, they came to a rockery.

Next to the rockery, there is also a stone table.

"Lord Zhou, please take a seat." Lu Zhouling waved his hand, and then sat down.

Zhou An just sat up, and before his ass was hot, Lu Zhouling spoke.

"Lord Zhou must be very strange, why Lord Hou is reluctant to tell you what happened, it is actually very simple, because Lord Hou doesn't believe you." Lu Zhou Lingdao.

Zhou An nodded: "This is normal, I have only met him once, after all, this is also a matter of their town trick, he doesn't believe that I am right." ”

No one can be smooth sailing.

Zhou An came all the way from Anding County, and he went very smoothly, but it doesn't mean that he can go on like this all the time.

He felt that what happened tonight, especially Hou Sizhou's performance, was actually normal.

Like he said, he believed in the Trickster once.

But if this fire burns on him again, if Hou Sizhou doesn't say anything at that time, he will solve it in his own way.

Lu Zhouling took a sip of tea and sighed: "Actually, you can't blame him, no one can believe what he encountered now." ”

"Lord Zhou has heard of it, the Spiritual Divine Law!"

(End of chapter)
