Chapter 31: Good Intentions
"If that's the case, why do you want me to kill it?" Pulling the stack of notes in his hand, Jiang Yichen lowered his head and asked.
"This is a test for you, and it is also for Feiyan Village. The old man replied.
"Yan Ming nine years ago to fight for the position of the owner of the village, at the beginning of the rules were still rules, only a little stealing, five years ago began to intensify, the monthly insult of the village women reached more than a dozen, gradually reached the number of twenty, this year, is no longer self-contained, night and night like this. Han Wuyue added on the side.
"Why didn't the people in the village find out at all? What about those insulted women, they just didn't say a word?" Jiang Yichen couldn't understand.
"Yan Ming's martial arts are still the highest in the village, and these women are stunned in advance and then insulted, although later, several women noticed the abnormality of the body, but such a thing, as a woman, are ashamed to speak, so they do not know each other. Han Wuyue explained.
"Okay, you already know a lot, if you want to know more carefully, you can go into the village and check it yourself. The old man spoke.
"What is Qi Shanqing?" Jiang Yichen heard the words and asked about Qi Shanqing.
"This, it's related to the Qianzhulin Wine Workshop you participated in, the ghosts in the chrysanthemum garden have all been found out, but there is still a big ghost in Taoyuan Town, and he hasn't pleaded guilty yet. This time, Yi Zhongren spoke out, Qi Shanqing's matter involved human relations, he was worried that the old man would not let Han Wuyue say it, or he would make it clear himself, so as not to let Jiang Yichen be hated without knowing it.
"Qi Shanqing is also one of the ghosts. Jiang Yichen finally understood why the old man wanted Qi Shanqing's life.
"Yes, Qi Shanqing is the largest wine merchant in Taoyuan Town, and he is also the person who has helped Juyuan control the source of wine for a long time, if he doesn't give in first and sink into the coercion and temptation of the Cardinal Sect, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Hongyue's wine to get to Juyuan, he is a very important part. ”
"But what makes it difficult for the old man is that Qi Shanqing's identity, you should also know that Qi Shanqing is the nephew of Qi Tianwen, the mayor of Taoyuan Town, Qi Tianwen is an old friend of the old man, and the old man still owes him a big favor, although Qi Tianwen did not come forward to protect his nephew this time, but because of this relationship, no one dares to touch Qi Shanqing. Yi Zhongren said.
"In this way, Qi Shanqing also had merit to Juyuan, although the merit is difficult to resist, why don't you give death, but still take his head?" Jiang Yichen was very puzzled, why was the Daoyi League so unkind.
"The sin is unforgivable, and the strong man breaks his wrist. Yi Zhongren shook his head after spitting out a few words, signaling not to say more.
And so, Chen'er retired. Jiang Yichen said, finished saluting everyone, and left Taoran Pavilion.
......
(Tao Ran Pavilion)
"You're spoiling him too much. After Jiang Yichen left, the old man shook his head and said.
"How can this be regarded as spoiling, it can only be regarded as letting him know, how can you say that Chen'er is also working hard for you. Yi Zhongren returned to the top.
"Do you think that in this way, I won't attract Lao Qi's white eyes? He must also know that Chen'er was let by me, and if he can't keep it, he will let people question me. The old man smiled and shook his head.
"Then you let him do it. Yi Zhongren was incomprehensible.
"You said, the strong man broke his wrist, this is the last level set for Chen'er. 'The person who is most likely to stab you in the back must be the person closest to you', he must know how to remove the principles of decay and healing, in order to better protect himself. The old man explained.
"Oh, well-intentioned. Wuyue, do you think Chen'er can do it this time?" Yi Zhongren asked Han Wuyue.
"Yes. It's just a matter of time, and it's a matter of recovery if you get your hands on it. Han Wuyue replied.
"The problem of recovery? Could it be that Chen'er can still be injured and worry about his life? Yi Zhongren asked.
"Wuyue is talking about psychological recovery. The old man laughed a little at Yi Zhongren's sluggishness.
"Hey, I said, what a child, do you have to make him a killer, is it necessary?" Yi Zhongren was a little confused about the old man's thoughts.
"As a killer, as long as Chen'er is strong enough, he can survive well on this river and lake. And as long as there is another identity of the rivers and lakes to cover, the role of dust is not trivial. The old man replied.
"Another identity of the rivers and lakes, what are you going to do with Chen'er?" Yi Zhongren was a little curious.
"It's up to Chen'er to choose. Wuyue, see you again today, what do you think?" The old man didn't talk much, but asked the opinion of the number one killer around him.
"If I can completely cross this hurdle in my heart this time, my future achievements will not be below me. Han Wuyue spoke highly of Jiang Yichen.
"Oh! I was really surprised to let the number one killer of the Moral League make such an evaluation, let's talk about it in detail. Yi Zhongren was a little surprised by Han Wuyue's statement.
"Jiang Shaoxia spent more than three days in the outside world in the Juyuan trial to pass, not to mention that most of the time should be spent on fighting with his inner thoughts, in these three days, he did not eat or drink, I am afraid that the whole battle of meditation and pranayama can come step by step, this perseverance and determination not to look back, in the killer, is really rare, with this resolute character, in the future, as long as he is willing to do, I am afraid that there is no one he can not kill. Han Wuyue explained.
Imagining the bloody picture in the future, Yi Zhongren shuddered for a while, and his heart was really not good.
"Do you remember the origin of the name Chen'er?" Yi Zhongren said for no reason, which made the old man stunned.
"His portable jade pendant. The old man thought about it for a while and said.
"Yes, the Lin couple gave the jade engraved with the word "dust" to the child as a memory, and because they didn't want the child to be involved in the chaos of the dust, they wanted to use this jade to replace the baptism of the world. Old man Jiang did not name the child, and the hidden mother followed his parents' wishes and chose the word "Yichen" for the child, but the current scene is, alas, the situation of the Lin family and his wife has a new eyebrow recently?" Yi Zhongren said.
"Nope. The old man shook his head and only answered the question of the second half of Yi Zhongren's sentence.
"How can the moon be full, look back on the past. Reincarnation has been turned a thousand times, leaving the dust in vain and sighing. After a pause, the old man suddenly said, "Your words make me feel even more sorry for this child." ”
The old man shook his head with a wry smile, and couldn't help recalling in his mind a gray-haired old man who was already dying, and he had to wait for him to come to him and explain a few words to him before he could be safely blinded.
Didn't Yi Zhongren want the old man to feel as uncomfortable as him?
Jiang Yichen was not clear about the dialogue in Tao Ran Pavilion, but the conversation when he accepted the task once again tore apart the beautiful thoughts of Jiang Yichen for the rivers and lakes in his heart.
Jiang Yichen understands that today's rivers and lakes have long been filthy and devastated, and what justice, chivalry, morality, benevolence, etc. have gradually disappeared in this distorted rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to find a trace. Therefore, the Daoyi League, especially Juyuan, in his mind, is like a holy place out of the mud, and Lao Bo, Yi Zhongren and others should be great sages who have a common heart and help the world, but after that conversation, he was disappointed to find that everything was just his own naïve and ignorant fantasy.
In the past two days, Jiang Yichen did not do anything related to the task, but practiced swords frantically in the garden, he wanted to use the sway of sword energy to express the gloom in his heart, and he wanted to use exhaustion to discourage thinking.
After several days of ideological struggle, Jiang Yichen only prepared a relatively tattered cloth and embarked on the trip, the destination of this trip was Feiyan Village, he wanted to blend into the village, to see the master of the village of Feiyan Village, to see the dilapidated scene of the rivers and lakes.
Under the cover of the internal response in Feiyan Village, Jiang Yichen successfully mixed into Feiyan Village with a little knowledge of herbal medicine, but he was robbed and scattered on the way to collect medicine in Tongyan Village. In Feiyan Village, his identity is to help Dr. Qi in the village collect and boil medicines, and occasionally chop firewood.
After a few days of wandering in Feiyan Village, a lot of information has been figured out.
The owner of Feiyan Village is strict, a middle-aged man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with a prosperous beard but a blue and white color, and a faint white beard. During the day, he rarely shows up, and occasionally goes to the mining area to investigate the main source of livelihood in the village, and the rest of the time he lies in the room, with a feather fan gently shaking and his eyes closed. The most regular thing is that every three days, Dr. Qi needs to go to cut the meridians and check the pulse, and during this time, he takes almost the same medicine on time every day.
Although Dr. Qi is a mediocre doctor, he has already diagnosed what the symptoms of the owner of the village are, kidney deficiency and lack of qi, resulting in fatigue and lack of energy, but what makes him extremely puzzling is that although the medicine he prescribes is earthy, it should also improve after long-term treatment, but it is difficult to see the effect day after day, and it is even more difficult for him to understand that the owner of the village has nothing to do every day, and has not done much physical work that hurts his muscles and bones, why he is so kidney deficiency and shortness of breath.
As a result, Dr. Qi can only suspect that the owner of this village has any congenital symptoms that will burst out when he is older, or that the owner of this village will not do anything to steal chickens and dogs every night. Fortunately, the owner of the village seemed to know his own situation and did not blame him, so he naturally didn't bother to think about it.
