Chapter 44: Explanation
"Brother Zhan can't do anything?"
Zhao Sanye was surprised.
Zhan Yangchun smiled bitterly: "If I guess correctly, it should be that after the humiliated girl sank into the lake, her resentment could not be dissipated, so she warmed up, and in the near future, she finally turned into an evil spirit, so she came out to make trouble and absorb the essence of men." Therefore, Wu Han and Zhu Xiucai were killed one after another, all of which were committed by this woman. β
For this analysis, Zhao Sanye deeply agrees, he is a figure in the family, well-informed, and many things are clear as soon as he says them.
Zhan Yangchun continued: "If this is the case, this evil is still not a disaster, if it is found by this way, it can be removed. However, I didn't expect that this woman would hide in the academy's famous lake, using the lake water to disguise her aura and be difficult to detect. I searched almost all the area around Hanmo Street, but I didn't find anything, so at Chen Xiucai's house that day, I put down my assertion that there was no such thing as a locust tree becoming a sperm, so that he could live on Hanmo Street with peace of mind and no need to worry. β
Zhao Sanye said: "The locust tree has indeed not become a sperm, but there is another evil. β
Zhan Yangchun said: "But facts have proved that the murder of Hanmo Street was done by evil. Whether it is a locust tree spirit or a girl's soul, in essence, it is all the same, once it is stained with blood, it will be out of control, and it will definitely continue to hunt for food...... I'm worried that Chen Xiu will be the next victim. β
"Then we will immediately inform Chen Xiucai and ask him to live in another place. β
Zhao Sanye stood up with a sigh.
"Let's go. β
Zhan Yangchun agreed simply.
The two of them put on their robes, put on hats, and did not take anyone else, and immediately went out and walked briskly to Hanmo Street.
On the way, Zhao Sanye frowned and asked, "Do you want to tell the yamen about this matter, and let people directly block the streets and the academy?"
Zhan Yangchun shook his head: "It's useless, it's weird, the imperial court has its own nine doors to deal with and manage, and only when the situation is big, they will come." Today, Yan Zhihai was assassinated, and the yamen only investigated it as a murder case, but I was afraid that it would not investigate the evil spirit, but would go to the rich merchant family and investigate the crime, so as to find out the identity of the assassin. β
Zhao Sanye touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, this Dean Yan is really a scum, a beast-like character, he can actually be a dean and a lecturer, where is the morality?"
After a pause, he said: "Although this matter was suppressed back then, I know some of the situation. The daughter of a wealthy businessman once had a lifelong engagement with someone, and the other party was a scholar, called 'Etian' or something, and had a reputation for showing talent. β
Zhan Yangchun said: "There is a word 'sky', right." β
Zhao Sanye said again: "The girl was humiliated and committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, and her family went to report to the official, beating the drum and complaining, but was told that the matter involved weathering, and the girl's death was completely her own doing, and had nothing to do with Yan Zhihai." Anyway, the yamen is up and down, and they all speak for Yan Zhihai. The Yan family sent people to threaten them, saying that if the rich businessman's family dared to make trouble again, they would disrupt his family's business and cut off his way of life. The wealthy merchant's family was so unbearable that they had to sell their belongings and moved away from Panzhou, but they didn't know where they had moved. There are rumors in the outside world that Yan Zhihai is worried that they will go to Beijing to file a complaint, so he does not stop doing two things, and sends people to kill the rich businessman's family, but he does not know whether it is true or false; as for the girl's fiancΓ©, Esheng, he was originally an orphan and was adopted by a wealthy businessman since he was a child, and later he was also missing. Unexpectedly, after many years, this son learned some martial arts and infiltrated the academy to assassinate. It's a pity that he doesn't know that Yan Zhihai is a master of the inner family, and if he has practiced a good kung fu, where will he be easily stabbed?"
Regarding Yan Zhihai's martial arts, he knew very well in his heart that he was much stronger than himself, and he might already be at the level of about the fourth stage of the inner family.
Listening to this inside story, Zhan Yangchun sighed: "No wonder the master often tells me: There are many evils in the world, and there are many disasters. Truth and even reason. The reason why I have always been reluctant to enter those nine doors is that I do not want to get dirty and do some dirty things that help the abuse. β
The two of them talked, and without slowing down, they arrived outside Chen Tang's house, knocked on the door and entered, and Zhan Yangchun directly told Chen Tang about these things.
After hearing this, Chen Tang asked unhurriedly: "Dao Chief, I still have something to understand, this girl is evil, why did she choose Wu Han and these old talents to start? instead of hunting food directly in the academy?"
Zhan Yangchun replied: "As the saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, her nest is in the famous lake, if you hunt the academy students, things are easy to make a big fuss, which is not good for her." Besides, she was a student of the academy, so it was not surprising that she might be thinking of a wisp of old love. β
Chen Tang thought for a while, and then asked: "Listen to what you mean, this evil person prefers to attack scholars, is there any reason for this?"
Zhan Yangchun explained: "The causes of the formation of evil things are complex and difficult to describe. But like ordinary people, they need to eat in order to grow. It's just that the things they absorb are unusual, and their favorite ones are two kinds of breaths, one is the masculine blood and the other is the literary energy. Blood and qi replenish yang, and culture nourishes yin. β
Zhao Sanye already knew these truths, last time his subordinates escorted dart goods, and they had an accident in the Mangniuling Mountain Temple, and all of them were killed, and only bones remained. It is the evil who takes a fancy to the vigorous blood in the bodies of these martial arts practitioners, and ordinary people, although they also have blood in their bodies, but if they are too weak, the evil spirits are basically not looked down upon.
For these, Chen Tang has already speculated in his heart, and now listening to Zhan Yangchun's words, it is completely consistent, this world really has a literary tone. Not only can it combine civil and military, literature and Taoism complement each other, but it can also nourish evil spirits......
This characteristic is a bit like a warm tonic medicine, which is suitable for all ages.
But how does it feel wrong......
Chen Tang thought of a question and immediately asked, "Dao Chief, you said that Wu Han and they are all civil?"
Zhan Yangchun nodded and said: "Of course, as long as you are a reader, read a certain number of books, and study for a certain amount of time, you will have a literary atmosphere." The difference is whether there is more or less breath, whether it can be expressed through the work, and that's it. β
When Chen Tang heard this, he was immediately relieved and understood.
Now, Zhan Yangchun has nothing to hide, he simply opened the skylight and said brightly, and continued to popularize science: "Martial artists, warlocks, etc., when their cultivation reaches a certain level, they all have special needs for literary qi, so as to enhance and stabilize their cultivation as the realm. This is the reason why the third master and I want to collect words at a high price. β
Zhao Sanye grinned: "Chen Xiucai, I have to declare in advance that I will accept two words from you, the first one takes advantage of you, but the second one is definitely a fair price." β
Chen Tang smiled: "I am willing to buy and sell, there is nothing cheap to speak of." To tell you the truth, I only wanted to sell the first word for ten dollars. β
Zhao Sanye was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed, and couldn't help but have two more points of appreciation and affection for Chen Tang.
For some reason, when getting along with Chen Tang, Zhao Sanye was physically and mentally relaxed, and he felt very comfortable.
Zhan Yangchun was the same over there, he was more sensitive, and after a few days, he vaguely felt that some transformation had taken place in Chen Tang's body, which was very mysterious, but Zhan Yangchun couldn't see where it had changed. The last time he had a long talk, Chen Tang's eyes flashed with some brilliance, occasionally revealed, but they were very vague and elusive. Looking at it now, the brilliance is completely hidden and cannot be found.
This situation is a bit like the legendary "back to basics" meaning.
It's just that Chen Tang is so old, how can it be?
Zhan Yangchun smiled, feeling that he must have seen the wrong eye and thought too much.
