Chapter 2: The Sophistry
"That female ghost just now...... It seems to be a yin spirit. ”
After resting for a while, and waiting for the pain and weakness in his body to gradually dissipate, information about the female ghost appeared in Ye Qing's fragmentary memories.
"The yin spirit is just the weakest monster, the yang energy is a little stronger, the yin spirit does not dare to appear, only the weak or dying people, when the qi and blood are exhausted, and the yang energy is extremely decayed, will be entangled by the yin spirit. ”
Ye Qing frowned: "However, generally Yin spirits only dare to appear in inaccessible places such as the wilderness, and rarely appear in the village. Moreover, I remember that there seems to be a defilement talisman in my house, and there is a defilement talisman, and such a weird thing as the Yin Spirit does not dare to appear at all. ”
"Strange......?
Ye Qing seemed to think of something, stood up, picked up the fire fold on the ground, lit an oil lamp, came to the hall, looked up at the beam, and sure enough, the defilement charm that was originally attached to the beam disappeared.
"The defilement charm is gone, no wonder a yin spirit has entered the house. "The defilement talisman is the most basic talisman seal, and every household has one, in order to guard against these weirdness, but his defilement talisman is gone.
"Someone should have taken it on purpose!" Ye Qing touched his nose and frowned, the defilement talisman is the most basic talisman seal, and no one will steal it at all, so someone must have deliberately taken away his family's defilement talisman, in order to let him be entangled by the yin spirit and take his life.
"Who is it? Maybe it's Chen Zheng?!" In the village, the only person who has a direct conflict with him is Chen Zheng, Chen Zheng has always wanted his family's land, but he has repeatedly refused, so Chen Zheng is the most suspicious.
As soon as he died, his family's land immediately became borderless, and with Chen Zheng's status and means, he could get his hands on it with just a little operation. The best thing is that he was killed by the Yin Spirit, and no one will suspect Chen Zheng at all.
"Killing two birds with one stone, it's really a good calculation!" Ye Qing felt a touch of anger in his heart, he almost died just now.
Angry is angry, but more is a strong sense of crisis, Chen Zheng is one of the three major martial artists in Junshan Village. Junshan Village, the village where he is located, is called Junshan Village because it is adjacent to Xiaojun Mountain.
As for the martial artist, it is not a realm, but an honorific title for those who practice martial arts, in short, he is one of the three most powerful people in Junshan Village, and he is usually responsible for protecting the safety of Junshan Village.
Such a person is powerful and prominent, and he can't deal with an ordinary person who is powerless.
Even if he told him about today's events, others wouldn't necessarily believe it, or they wouldn't want to believe it, after all, who would want to offend a martial artist for the sake of an ordinary person?
On the other hand, if Chen Zheng wants to deal with him, it is very simple, and there are many ways to kill him quietly. Today's Yin spirits, for example, are a clear example.
Therefore, if he is fine today and escapes a catastrophe, it does not mean that he will be so lucky in the future. In addition, in his memory, Chen Zheng is a person who must repay his eyes, so even if he relents now and sells his family's land to the other party, the other party may not let him go.
"I can't fight and fight, I have no place to talk about reason, and I have nowhere to escape? How can I play this?" With Ye Qing's hearty and free personality, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, sighed, and rubbed his eyebrows: "Alas, my life is so bitter!
"Or, do you want to die again?" Ye Qing touched his nose and was bitter: "But, what if I am unwilling?"
"Hey, what's that?" Suddenly, Ye Qing, who was dejected, caught a glimpse of something on the ground flashing a faint light, one bright and one out, like a faint candle in the wind.
Ye Qing walked over curiously, picked up the things on the ground, returned to the table, and observed by the light.
The thing in his hand is a rectangular, like a kraft paper, black and yellow, covered with special runes like dragons and snakes, simple and vicissitudes, mysterious.
At this time, on this cowhide-like paper, there was a dragon snake rune flashing with a gloomy light, and in the middle of the paper, blood-red words were constantly emerging:
"Chen Zheng wants to kill me!"
Ye Qing didn't care about it at first, but when he saw the first line of words, a shocked look suddenly appeared on his face, and when he continued to look down, his expression became more and more shocked and dignified, and even mixed with a trace of fear.
"He sent someone to take away my family's defilement talisman, and when I was weak, he used the Yin Spirit to kill me quietly. Although I was lucky enough to escape, there must be follow-up actions from the other party. ”
"However, I'm just an ordinary person, and trying to deal with Chen Zheng, who is already a condensing qi cultivator, is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car, and I can't do anything I can't do. But I don't want to be caught, so what should I do? Can I really just wait for death? Is weakness really an original sin?"
Perhaps, the only way to survive at the moment is to join the patrol team of Junshan Village and become a member of the patrol. Perhaps, I can get away with it for a while. ”
The handwriting is over here, and the paper seems calm, but Ye Qing's mood is like a surging river and sea, surging and surging at all.
This paper-like thing actually restored the cause and effect of his attack, and seemed to give him a temporary solution to the crisis?
How could he not be shocked?
And how can you not be afraid?
After a long time, Ye Qing's mind slowly calmed down, this world is different from his original world, full of all kinds of strange things and unsolved mysteries, it seems that there is this kind of thing, it is not surprising.
In my memory, this thing seems to have been bought by my parents from the Taoist priest who sold talismans, according to the Taoist priest of Youfang, this thing is a special artifact refined by a strong man using the skin membrane on the body of a powerful monster, the name of the Strange Sutra, with unpredictable power.
His parents bought it in a moment's heat. After coming back, he found that this so-called sophistication had no effect except for the invincibility of water and fire, and it did not have the power that the Taoist priest You Fang said, and he was depressed for a long time. But because it was bought at a high price, and his parents were reluctant to throw it away, they hid it in a box with the talisman seal.
However, now it seems that the Taoist priest may not be lying.
"But, why didn't this happen before?" Ye Qing tapped on the table, and when he saw the blood on his hands, and then thought of the blood-colored handwriting that appeared on the previous Sutra, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Perhaps, the revival of the Sutra is related to my blood?"
Previously, the talisman and the talisman seal were both in the wooden box, it should be that when he killed the yin spirit just now, in a panic, he threw the talisman seal and the talisman together at the yin spirit, and the blood was probably stained at that time.
"Or, try?" Ye Qing clenched his fist vigorously and dropped a few drops of blood on the Sutra, only to see a faint light flash on the Sutra, and the blood on it seemed to have been absorbed, disappearing, and on the Sutra, blood words appeared:
"I seem to have discovered the secret of the sophistication!"
"After my experiments, I found that my blood can awaken the Mystery Sutra. ”
"Haha, that's great! Perhaps, in the future, I only need to consume some blood, so that I can ask some questions, avoid evil, and increase my strength. ”
"It's just, the secret of the sophistry, is it really just that?"
"Sure enough, it's amazing!" Ye Qing looked at the blood words on the treacherous scripture, and slapped his thigh suddenly, extremely excited. According to the hints in the sophistication, it seems that he can consume a certain amount of blood and ask some questions in the future.
It's just a sentence behind the sophistication that makes him feel related.
In addition, such a magical thing, why did that Taoist priest sell it to his parents?
Perhaps, is it because the Taoist priest of Youfang does not know the true secret of the sophistication?
Perhaps, it is because the Taoist priest has other ulterior motives?
Ye Qing held his head, his head hurt a little, and the excitement and excitement in his heart were gradually covered by the haze.
"Forget it, don't think about it, let's take one step at a time! The top priority is to solve the problem in front of us!"
I rubbed my forehead, I couldn't figure it out, so I didn't want to. No matter what kind of plans that wandering Taoist priest has, is there any danger to the Sophist, and at present, the existence of the Sophistry is of great benefit to him!
And the top priority is to get through the catastrophe in front of us first!
Judging from the method given by the sophistication, it is indeed a good way out.
The patrol team is responsible for protecting the safety of the village, and its status is very important, although Chen Zheng is one of the three major martial artists in Junshan Village, but he also has no right to meddle in the affairs of the patrol.
Of course, joining the patrol team does not mean that it is done once and for all, and it may be more dangerous, because after joining the patrol team, you have to face those weird and dangerous monsters outside the village, but it is better than suffocating and dying at the hands of Chen Zheng.
In addition, after joining the patrol, he can practice martial arts, which is the only way for him to become stronger, and it is also an excellent way for him to completely get out of the crisis.
With trickery in hand, he may not have the possibility of counterattacking.
"Okay, I'll apply to join the patrol tomorrow!" After thinking clearly, Ye Qing immediately relaxed.
At this time, he felt tired and hungry, and his whole body ached.
Putting away the treacherous scriptures, Ye Qingqiang ninja was in pain all over his body, went to the kitchen to get some food, filled his stomach indiscriminately, and then went to bed and fell asleep.
......
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Ye Qing got up and came to the training ground of the patrol.
On the training ground, more than a dozen young people were training with swords in hand, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down their foreheads, flashing in the early morning sun.
"The horse step should be steady, the waist should be straight, the punch should be strong, between a punch, like a tiger descending the mountain, majestic, like you, soft and lying on your stomach, no strength at all, how can you kill the monster?"
A burly man in his forties, standing aside with his hands in his hands, looked at the group of young people who were training, with a straight face, and kept reprimanding.
The burly man, named Lin Hu, is the captain of the patrol team and one of the three major martial artists in Junshan Village.
"Ye Qing, are you feeling better?" Seeing Ye Qing, Lin Hu took the lead in saying hello.
"It's much better, thank you Captain Lin for your concern!" Ye Qing approached Lin Hu, and suddenly felt a strong oppression and danger, as if facing a fierce tiger, his face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't help but cough lightly twice.
Seeing this, Lin Hu frowned: "You are not in good health, just rest at home, what are you running around?"
The loud sound shook Ye Qing's ears and buzzed, Ye Qing touched his ears and whispered, "I came today to find Captain Lin for you!"
Lin Hu was puzzled: "What are you looking for me for?"
Ye Qing said bluntly: "I want to join the patrol!"
"What, you want to join the patrol?" Lin Hu was stunned, a little puzzled.
Patrols are dangerous and people are injured or killed almost every day, so in general, few people choose to join them. With the exception of a few permanent personnel, most of the other members of the patrol are rotated from each household and are temporary.
So it was really surprising that Ye Qing took the initiative to join the patrol team.
The young people who were training on the side also stopped training, staring at Ye Qing with interest, pointing and talking.
"What do you see, continue to train! If anyone can't learn the "Seven Styles of Demon Suppression" today, they are not allowed to rest!" Lin Hu roared suddenly, scaring everyone into a spirit, shrunk back like a quail, and obediently practiced martial arts.
"Have you figured out, do you really want to join the patrol? Do you know what it means to join the patrol?"
Ye Qing nodded: "I have thought about it, and I understand that joining the patrol means danger and death, but I am not afraid, and I still ask Captain Lin to fulfill it?"
Lin Hu thought for a while, and then responded: "You just need to figure it out yourself, the patrol team happens to be short of people, since you want to join, I have no reason to disagree!"
He could also vaguely guess why Ye Qing wanted to join the patrol, and he had also heard about the matter between Chen Zheng and Ye Qing, although he was very disdainful of Chen Zheng's behavior, but he was also one of the three major martial artists in Junshan Village, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only turn a blind eye.
However, now that he can help Ye Qing, he doesn't mind extending a helping hand.
In addition, the patrol team is really short of people now, especially in recent months, the strange monsters outside the village seem to be crazy, often attacking humans, many patrol members are seriously injured or killed, the patrol team has suffered heavy losses, and urgently needs to replenish fresh blood.
These young people on the training ground are a group of young people they have just recruited, and after a few days of simple training, they will take part in patrolling and protecting the village.
"Thank you, Captain Lin!" Ye Qing thanked him.
Lin Hu nodded: "Originally, you joined the patrol team, and you had to come to train today, but you haven't recovered yet, so you won't force it, and when you are well, come to train again!"
"However, you can't slack off these days, this exercise of the body quenching realm "Seven Styles of Demon Suppression" is for you, you go back and familiarize yourself with it first, and when you recover, I will explain it to you in detail. ”
"Thank you, Captain Lin!" Ye Qing took the exercise cheats in Lin Hu's hand, and he was a little excited in his heart.
"Okay, let's go back! Don't worry, you are now a member of the patrol, no one will be unfavorable to you in the next few days, you can recuperate with peace of mind!" Lin Hu nodded, ignored Ye Qing anymore, turned around and walked towards the training ground.
Hearing this, Ye Qing clenched his fists fiercely, Lin Hu's words meant that he would be safe for the next period of time, and his goal could be regarded as achieved.
"Great!"
After Lin Hu left, Ye Qing took the cheats and was about to go home, but just after walking a few steps, there was a sudden commotion and exclamations at the entrance of the village.
"What's wrong?" Ye Qing looked up at the entrance of the village, only to see several patrolmen supporting the four wounded, and hurriedly ran towards the village, shouting loudly as they ran:
"Captain, it's not good!"
"Oh no!"
