The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 415

Chapter 145: Adding Burden to Senior Brother
Chen Shen did not stop Qin Guan, but stared at his back with a deep gaze and followed him closely.

Two people walked into the shelter hall one after the other.

After entering the hall, Qin Guan started to run with big strides. It turned out that his broken legs had healed without him knowing when.

He first glanced at the statue standing in the middle of the hall with disdain, muttered something in a low voice, and then began to look for Su Shi throughout the hall.

Ever since Chen Shen opened up this place, the furnishings in this hall have changed a lot.

Surrounding the statue, Chen Shen arranged several storage tables and shelves made of marble and plastic steel.

Many weapons and shields are placed and hung on it, such as swords, spears, halberds, strong bows and crossbows, magic fire crossbows, etc. There are also some advanced items such as chain saw swords, strange hand cannons, special exoskeleton power armor left over from the steel ruins civilization.

Of course, these super-era creations are either badly damaged, heavily rusted, or lack the corresponding energy and ammunition, and are ultimately unusable.

Chen Shen strolled to a weapons rack and was about to reach out to take one, but Qin Guan's figure suddenly blocked his way.

Mr. Qin's originally handsome face had been distorted beyond recognition, with only some remaining human features still stubbornly remembering what it once was.

Scholar Qin was furious and shouted at Chen Shen: "Where is he?! Where is he?!"

Chen Shen asked back with a confused look on his face: "Who?"

Scholar Qin screamed angrily, "Don't play dumb with me, you reptile! Su Shi! Su Shi! Where did you hide him?!"

"Master Su? What happened to Master Su?" Chen Shen looked indifferent, as if to say, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Mr. Qin's face became even more distorted, with his upper and lower jaws slightly protruding, looking somewhat similar to a bird's beak.

It screamed, "You clearly said before that Su Shi's real body was hiding here! We can't find it anywhere. Are you lying to us?"

When dealing with the evil spirits of the Wanbian family, lying is more dangerous than telling the truth.

Because once your lies are discovered by the evil spirit, its power will become stronger, and you will become weaker.

Of course, if you are sure that you can deceive the evil spirit, that is another situation.

However, the possibility of this is almost zero, because lies are lies after all, and there will always be a day when they will be exposed.

Therefore, when encountering ever-changing evil spirits, the wisest approach is to either selectively tell the truth or keep silent completely.

Facing Qin Xueshi's questioning, Chen Shen spread out his left hand and said with a seemingly innocent look: "When did I say that the great Su Xianggong was hiding here?! Qin Xueshi has no evidence, so you must not speak nonsense, lest you tarnish my innocence and tarnish my reputation!"

Master Qin was extremely angry. This guy actually lied to him with his eyes open. He was simply asking for his own death!

However, when this fellow used the magical power bestowed by the Lord of All Changes, he suddenly found that his original power was rapidly dissipating, while Chen Shen only felt that an inexplicable power was injected into his mind, making his thinking speed faster and his five senses a little sharper.

It is like Chen Shen is a smart phone, and the Internet speed has suddenly evolved from 2G to 3G.

Master Qin was horrified. He didn't know what the problem was, so he quickly activated another extraordinary ability unique to the evil demon and recalled the process of his conversation with Chen Shen.

Then Master Qin discovered the bright spot. During the conversation outside the shelter hall, Chen Shen actually misled him with his gaze.

Ah - I have been hunting wild geese all year round, but today I am being stared at by a little goose!

At this moment, Mr. Qin was filled with negative emotions such as annoyance, embarrassment, regret, shame, and frustration.

If other evil demons knew about this, it would probably be laughed at by the demons for ten thousand years!

Master Qin knew that he had to respond. Either kill the person immediately to silence him, or turn the tables and then kill him to silence him.

Take action immediately?

Master Qin subconsciously turned his head to glance at the towering statue in the hall, but dismissed the idea.

It rolled its eyes and argued, "Before we entered this room, you showed me with your eyes, clearly telling me that Su Shi was hiding here!"

Chen Shen shook his head and laughed, "Mr. Qin's words are far-fetched. Wherever I look, how can that be where Mr. Su is hiding? I am looking at you with my own eyes. Could it be that Mr. Su is hiding in you?!"

Scholar Qin said with a smile: "If you say so, it is not a bad idea."

Chen Shen pretended to be angry and said, "This is ridiculous! I have always been kind-hearted. How could I do such an ugly thing as lying with my eyes open!"

Upon hearing this, Master Qin wanted to spit a mouthful of smelly blood at Chen Shen.

You have the nerve to say that you have a pure character. How can there be such a shameless person in the world! Even such a cunning old demon in our family was deceived by you. It can be seen that your heart must be even darker and more sinister.

However, the more of a hypocrite Chen Shen was, the happier Master Qin was, because it meant that he had a greater chance of turning the tables.

Therefore, it suppressed the ridicule in its heart and said with a flattering smile: "Your character is noble and pure, and you are indeed a good man (sage)!"

Chen Shen sneered, "I just think it's filthy to hear this from a scholar!"

Upon hearing this, Scholar Qin was furious and said, "How rude of you! As your elder, I gave you some words of praise, but you didn't appreciate it, and you even said mean words to mock me. It's really annoying!"

Chen Shen said coldly: "You are not Qin Shaoyou, how dare you claim to be someone's elder! You have no shame!"

Qin Xueshi was stunned when he heard this and said, "You...how do you know? You know the true identity of my family?!"

Chen Shen said: "Qin Shaoyou has always been a noble man. Even if Su Ba Niang was in front of him, he would not go along with him. As long as you showed up outside the hall, I knew you were not Qin Guan. As for your true identity..."

Chen Shen paused here and took a step forward calmly.

Scholar Qin did not notice Chen Shen's actions, and only asked anxiously, "Tell me which family we belong to?"

Chen Shen grabbed a short knife from the weapon rack and said, "I've heard that Su Banniang was extremely talented since she was young. She married her uncle's cousin Cheng Zhicai at the age of sixteen and gave birth to a son the following year. Because she was abused by her husband's family, Su Banniang fell seriously ill and was taken back to her parents' home by her father and brother for treatment. Cheng took her son away from her on the pretext that Su Banniang was ill and 'did not come back to see the emperor', which led to Su Banniang's sudden death. Do you think what I said is false?"

The fake Qin scholar was restless and his face was ferocious. He said angrily: "Since you know this, do you know my identity?!"

Chen Shen did not answer, but smiled and said, "You should know my origins. I learned spearmanship from my cousin Chen Tong'e and followed my master's wife to learn it. The fate of my master's wife is similar to that of Su Ba Niang. They both married the wrong people and were abused. However, the elder of my master's wife's husband's family is Wang Jinggong. Wang Jinggong is very righteous and sympathetic to human relations, so he made my master's wife divorce her husband and even faked the death of the young grandson of the Wang family to teach his mother so that the mother and son would not be separated.

Afterwards, Wang Jinggong found another good family for my teacher’s wife. From then on, my mother found a home and my son was raised by her. Everyone was content!”

When the fake Qin scholar heard this, his appearance became even more distorted, like an ugly crow.

It screamed, "Impossible! How can there be such a kind and compassionate person in the world? I will never believe your nonsense!"

Chen Shen shouted coldly: "My surname is Chen, my master is [Zhenshan Taibao] Chen Tong'e, my master's wife is Pang, my eldest uncle (in ancient times, wives could address their husband's father as either uncle or grandfather) is Wang Jinggong, whose real name is Anshi. The grandson of the Wang family married into our Chen family and changed his name to Chen, given name Guang, and courtesy name Yiju.

There are witnesses and evidences for this kind of thing, how can it be false? "

The twisted crow-like evil demon was like a young wife who had been possessed by that. She struggled desperately and tore at her own skin, screaming miserably, "No, no, no! This is impossible! I don't believe it! I absolutely don't believe it! It's fake! Everything is fake!"

As this creature screamed and tore, countless sources of filth overflowed from its body and were then twisted into pure spiritual origins. Part of them dissipated into the subspace, part of them floated into reality, and part of them merged into Chen Shen's body.

Well, Chen Shen felt that his brain seemed to be working better.

Chen Shen said to himself: This must be an illusion!
He looked at the twisted creature struggling in pain and shouted, "Cheng Han! You have fallen into the evil spirit, harming others and yourself. Why don't you reflect on yourself at this moment?"

As soon as Chen Shen finished speaking, the twisted crow's skin fell off like the wind, revealing a thin-faced man with his eyes closed.

He suddenly opened his eyes, with a pair of bird-like pupils in his eyes, and glared at Chen Shen, "Good! Good! You are really good at scheming! You can actually break my Taoist body! That's it! As long as you let me go, I won't bother with you any more!"

Chen Shen asked, "Where is the real Qin Shaoyou?"

Cheng Han said, "I am in the Xihe camp in the northwest with my uncle Cheng Zhishao, and my cousin Cheng Tang is guarding me. Should I be allowed to leave now?"

Chen Shen nodded and said, "Okay! I'll let you go right now!"

As Chen Shen spoke, he raised the dagger with his left hand and chopped his right wrist with it. His right palm fell to the ground and was about to turn into a bird or beast.

A spear had already pierced it and nailed it to the ground.

The twisted right palm let out a piercing scream, and Cheng Han also screamed miserably: "No——"

Unfortunately, Chen Shen remained unmoved. He directly mobilized his spiritual energy, unleashing red lightning that poured into the spear, burning the twisted and deformed severed right hand into ashes.

Cheng Han fell to the ground, looking very exhausted. He glared at Chen Shen with hatred and said in a hoarse voice: "You... have such a cruel heart! You actually want to cut off my path!"

Chen Shen snorted coldly: "Evil heretic! Why worry about it! I'm trying to save you! Idiot!"

Cheng Han struggled to get up and said angrily: "Mr. Chen, you destroyed my Dao body and cut off my foundation. I swear I will never give up! But don't be complacent. Chen Guang and Chen Yiju are excellent cauldrons. After I have taken away his Yun Duo Ao, occupied his name and position, and recast my Dao body, I will come back to argue with you!"

Chen Shen immediately said anxiously: "No! My senior brother Chen Guang has always been pure and inactive, and has nothing to do with the secular world. He has nothing to do with you! How dare you do such an evil thing! To harm my senior brother!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Han felt extremely refreshed, just like he had taken a big sip of iced herbal tea in the hottest days of summer.

He laughed loudly and said, "You rascal, you have done me a great harm. I only regret that I am weak and careless, and cannot avenge you! But you can take your close ones to make some profit! I have to thank you for telling me about Chen Guang, otherwise I would not be able to find such a good furnace. When he is devoured by me, I will tell him the truth. It is all because of you, my good junior brother, who told me the inside story! Hahaha——"

Chen Shen was so angry that he rushed forward with his gun in hand and shouted, "Evil demon! Your conspiracy will never succeed!"

However, he was missing one hand, which greatly affected his spear skills and he was unable to stab Cheng Han.

The guy stretched out a pair of crow wings from his back, laughed loudly, and flew out of the shelter hall.

Chen Shen chased after him for a few steps with his gun in one hand, shouting, "Evil demon, don't run away—"

Seeing that the evil demons had retreated, he smiled and whispered to himself, "Brother, please don't blame me. I am alone and powerless in dealing with the evil demons this time, so I have to help you. I think with your magical powers, you can easily deal with these evil demons, and earn immeasurable merits, which will be seen by the gods!"

But in a farm outside the city of Tokyo Bianliang, a tall man was instructing a five or six-year-old boy to practice spearmanship.

The boy had a sturdy build and was holding a four-foot-long wooden spear, but he performed it quite well.

The big man suddenly looked up at the sky, and felt his forehead suddenly become clear, and the whole world seemed to become more vivid.

He was puzzled: "Where did this spiritual wisdom come from? Why did it fall on me for no reason?!"

The boy next to him finished practicing a set of spear moves, but saw the big man staring at the sky in a daze, so he asked: "Dad, what are you looking at?"

The big man came back to his senses immediately and said with a smile: "I didn't see anything! I just felt that there was a bad guy plotting against my father, and I was thinking whether I should beat him up when I see him in the future."

The boy immediately shouted: "Dad! Dad! Who is this bad guy? If Di'er meets him, I will fight him for three hundred rounds!"

The big man laughed and said, "My son is very brave and ambitious, it's really rare!"

At this moment, an old woman in a green skirt appeared behind the father and son. She looked kind but pretended to be cold and shouted, "Di'er! Now that you have practiced martial arts, it's time to learn to read and write!"

The big man saw the person coming, but bowed and said, "Guang greets the great mother!"

The woman merely nodded in agreement, but her expression did not improve at all.

The little boy also threw away his wooden spear, and imitated the big man like a little adult, bowing and saying, "Grandson greets Grandma!"

The cold expression on the woman's face immediately melted away, and she could not help but smile with joy, saying, "Oh my son! How I wish you had a good and polite grandson! Come, come, come! Nanny will take you out to play!"

After saying that, the woman took the boy's hand and left.

Chen Guang looked at the two people's backs as they left, but couldn't help but smile bitterly.

There was a reason why Mrs. Xiao was cold to him.

After he and his wife Han Yunniang came to Beijing, they had a son named Wang Di, who was the little guy just mentioned. He was adopted into the lineage of Wang Anshi's eldest son Wang Pang, which meant that he recognized Xiao as his biological head.

A few years ago, Han Yunniang gave birth to another son. Xiao intended to let the child inherit Chen Guangyuan's branch of the Wang family, but Chen Guang refused and made the second son the heir and grandson of old man Chen.

Xiao became angry because of this and did not look kindly at Chen Guang.
