Zhutian: Everything starts from becoming a disciple of Uncle Jiu!

Chapter 357 Shi Jian: (°ー°〃)! (Subscribe please!)

"Why did you stop? Come on, eat. You're welcome. Judging from your appearance, you must have been from a wealthy family. But life is not always smooth sailing. There will always be some unexpected events..."

Since she has chosen to pretend to be confused, she should pretend to be confused to the end. While Master Zhao was trying to comfort her, he picked up the pot of tea that the teahouse owner had brought to the table and poured another bowl for Yue Qiluo.

In fact, he originally wanted to explain to Yue Qiluo how much of a sister complex Liu Xuanhu was and what a worthless person he was, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up. What if it was really as he thought?

What he thought was simple, that is, Yue Qiluo was the reincarnation of Liu Qingluan's sister and brother. Even if not, like Chuchenzi and Shang Qingtian, they were more or less related.

Although Yue Qiluo's true identity is an abandoned disciple of Qingyun Temple, judging from Yue Qiluo's appearance and the style of the paper figurine, she has nothing to do with Wuxin.

He didn't believe it.
Said it had nothing to do with Liu Qingluan and his sister,

He didn't believe it even more!

"Um……"

Yue Qiluo nodded timidly. When the snacks on the table were almost finished, Zhao Zheng stood up and glanced at the bold lunatics who were eyeing him and giving Yue Qiluo money. He thought to himself that he was asking for his own death. After thinking for a while,
He looked at Yue Qiluo and said, "I have something else to do. I have to go first. Keep these dollars and be careful on the road."

"Well, thank you..."

"You're welcome. Well, if you run into any trouble, you can come find me at the inn next to the headquarters. Okay, bye..."

Zhao Zheng saw Yue Qiluo nod and turned to leave the teahouse. In fact, according to reason, he should have sent her off to the west.

Help Yue Qiluo find a place to live.

But he is not Zhang Xianzong, and he does not have so many wives and concubines. This is something he can only think about but not put into practice.

"Ice-like skin and jade-like bones, a Taoist golden body. However, this Taoist golden body cultivates the Buddha's eyes..." Yue Qiluo looked at Zhao Zheng who was leaving with strange eyes, waiting until Zhao Zheng's figure disappeared at the end of the street.

She turned her head expressionlessly to look at some people not far away who turned their heads away following her gaze, raised the corner of her mouth, weighed the dollars in her hand, turned and walked away.

After a few minutes,

On the roof above a dark alley, a gray-tiled paper crane poked its head out from the eaves in a sneaky manner.

Five emaciated mummies fell to the ground with thuds, and in the center was Yue Qiluo, who was surrounded by red light and whose spirit was being devoured.

"who!"

Yue Qiluo opened her eyes and frowned, then she reached out her pale little hand to grab the roof in the air. A red light surged out from her palm, transforming into a blood-red hand that instantly grabbed the gray paper crane.

The gray paper crane was pulled into her hand. Yue Qiluo frowned as she looked at the gray paper crane that had lost its agility. She exerted a little force with her palm and the gray paper crane turned into powder and flew in the wind.
After doing all this, she looked around warily, waved her right hand, and shot out several red rays of light that sank into the five mummies on the ground. The mummies quickly turned into powder, and she disappeared in an instant.

Zhao Zheng, who was standing in front of a cooked food shop hundreds of meters away, muttered silently, "I'm really alert," and pointed at the braised pig's trotters on the stall.

"Give me three pig's trotters, cut up, and make them spicy."

"Okay, sir, wait a moment."

The boss responded with a smile, picked up the braised pig's trotter skillfully, put it on the chopping board and started cutting it. Just when Zhao Zheng was thinking about whether to buy some other cooked food, a familiar voice sounded from behind.

"Hmm? Ah Zheng!"

"Hey, Uncle Master, Senior Brother Shao Jian!"

Zhao Zheng turned around and looked at Shi Jian and Shi Shaojian, who was following Shi Jian with a tired look on his face, with surprise: "Uncle Master, didn't Master say that you had something urgent to do?"

"It's done."

Shi Jian frowned slightly, forced an unnatural smile and went straight to the point: "How is it? Have you and your master found each other?"

"This..."

Zhao Zheng paid the money, took the braised pig's trotters that the other party had packed, shook his head and walked towards Shi Jian and said: "The information is wrong. When my master came, the other party had not yet broken the seal..."

Having said that, he paused, added, "However," and mentioned that the other party had broken the seal last night, and also said that it must have been with the help of someone. In addition, he also sold out Wuxin.

"Blood to exorcise evil spirits? No heartbeat?"

Shi Jian raised his eyebrows, instantly attracted by Wuxin's abnormality. Shi Shaojian said thoughtfully, "Could it be that Wuxin has eaten some rare treasures?"

"It shouldn't be. As far as I know, there shouldn't be such miraculous treasures in this world..." Seeing the curiosity in Zhao Zheng's eyes, Shi Jian shook his head, but still added a sentence.

"Of course, it's not absolute. All I know is what your master and his friends said and what I saw. Maybe there really is such a miraculous treasure in the world that can give people blood that can drive away evil spirits."

As for the heartbeat, Shi Jian didn't pay much attention to it. There are many ways to make the heartbeat disappear or weaken.

"oh oh."

Zhao Zheng nodded and was about to speak when he heard a burst of curses coming from the restaurant next to him. After a series of bang bang bang sounds, several screams were heard, shouting "Someone's dead, someone's dead."

"Go and see."

Shi Jian frowned and took the lead, followed by Zhao Zheng and Shi Shaojian. The three of them squeezed through the crowd and entered the restaurant.
What caught my eye was an old man lying on the ground with a bloody head, and a fat man with an angry look on his face who was hitting the old man with a stool.

There were some waiters beside the fat man who tried their best to stop him and shouted to the boss to stop fighting, otherwise someone would die.

"Is there a ghost?"

Shi Shaojian frowned and took out the pomelo leaves. Before he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Zheng rushing to the fat shopkeeper, snatching the chair and slapping it.

Snapped!
Not to mention the fat shopkeeper who was knocked unconscious, Zhao Zheng squatted down with a frown, grabbed the wrist of the old man lying on the ground and began to feel his pulse.

"He's fine, just some minor injuries..."

After making sure that the old man was okay, Zhao Zheng withdrew his hand and said to Shi Jian. Shi Jian nodded and looked towards the restaurant in front of him with a frown.

The fat shopkeeper who was stunned by the beating came to his senses and covered his face, staring at Zhao Zheng angrily and said: "Boy, you dare to hit me, do you know who I am!"

"Then do you know who I am?"

Zhao Zheng asked back with a smile, waved to the group of soldiers watching the excitement outside the door, and pointed at the fat shopkeeper and others in front of him.

"Tie them all up!"

"Yes, Master Zheng!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers who had seen Zhao Zheng saluted in unison and immediately pointed their guns at the fat shopkeeper and others. The reversal of the scene shocked the crowd. Shi Shaojian and the other two looked puzzled. Zhao Zheng asked in surprise, "Hey, Master, how did you know that my uncle became the county magistrate?"

"..."×2
Shi Jian looked at Zhao Zheng with a twitching mouth. He wanted to know, did he speak just now? Shi Shaojian's eyes were full of envy, and he felt that the benefits brought by power were really good.

"But there don't seem to be any ghosts here, right?"

Shi Shaojian looked around the restaurant in confusion. There was no ghost in the restaurant, let alone the yin and ghost energy.

But on second thought, there were so many people drinking in the restaurant, and the yang energy and popularity were so strong that ordinary ghosts would not dare to stay.

“Yes, it’s clean here.”

Shi Jian frowned and nodded. He thought at first that the restaurant was haunted, but it turned out that there was no ghost in the restaurant.

"There really is no ghost..."

Looking at the restaurant in front of him, Zhao Zheng nodded and looked at the old man who woke up screaming in pain on the ground: "If you wake up, tell me what happened."

The old man looked at the fat shopkeeper and others who were being tied up by the soldiers in a daze. When he learned that it was Zhao Zheng who had them tied up, he immediately cried, "My Lord, they are selling fake wine..."

"What fake wine? You didn't buy this wine from me. Don't slander a good person out of thin air." The fat shopkeeper said angrily when he heard it, but when he saw Zhao Zheng looking at him, he immediately whispered again.

"you you you……"

The old man was so angry that he covered his heart, took a few breaths, calmed down, picked up the broken wine jar on the ground and said angrily: "But this wine is from your Jin's Winery!"

It may sound a bit confusing, but as the old man began to tell the story, the story became more convoluted and simpler.

The old man, that is, Lao Zhong, is a drunkard who has to drink two taels of wine every day and feels uncomfortable if he doesn't drink.

Today, Lao Zhong just received his salary and was about to buy a jar of wine to have a couple of drinks to reward himself, but...

He did buy the wine, but as soon as he opened it, it smelled like vinegar. He was so angry that he went to the wine shop to seek justice, but the shop ignored him and threatened to beat him up.

He had no choice but to find Jin's Restaurant. It wasn't that he was looking blindly, but because the wine shop and wine sold to him were owned by Jin's Restaurant itself. Shopkeeper Jin not only opened a restaurant and a wine shop, but also brewed his own wine.

As soon as Lao Zhong told his purpose, he was beaten by the furious shopkeeper Jin, who kept asking him why he was looking for him if the product was not bought from him.

"Grandpa, this wine of mine is really from his family. Even if I didn't buy it in this restaurant, I bought it in the wine shop run by his family. It's the wine from his winery, but he beat me up..." Old Zhong said to Zhao Zheng tearfully.

Old Zhong's words made the people outside the door curse: "Old Jin, if you say that, then I can't pass by your house if I don't eat at your place in the future."

"That's right, how can you do business like this? And this old man is so old, and you actually hit him. Is there any justice in the world? Is there any law in the world?"

"Everyone knows that the Jin Family Wine Shop was also opened by your Jin family. People bought fake wine, but you don't allow them to say anything, right..."

When the onlookers heard Lao Zhong talk about his experience, they were filled with indignation, especially since people tend to think of themselves as the weak. For a moment, public indignation was instantly aroused.

The soldiers blocking the door saw that they could no longer stop the people, so they all looked at Zhao Zheng, and Zhao Zheng looked at Shopkeeper Jin.

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Master, I am innocent. My family has been running a winery for three generations and has been selling wine for hundreds of years. I have never sold fake wine. At first I just thought that the old man was looking for trouble."

Shopkeeper Jin was so anxious that he started crying. It was hard to imagine a fat man with a face full of flesh crying so easily. Shi Jian frowned when he saw it.

"He didn't lie."

"Ah? He didn't lie? So this old man is lying?" Shi Shaojian was stunned. Old Zhong burst into tears and said, "But I really bought this wine from his wine shop."

"Alright, stop crying..."

Zhao Zheng looked thoughtful and said to a soldier, "Go and call a few brothers to bring the people and wine from the wine shop over here..."

"Yes, Master Zheng."

The soldier ran out in a hurry, and in just over ten minutes, the people and wine from Jin's Wine Shop were brought in.

When Lao Zhong saw the wine being brought in, he immediately ran to the jar, opened it, smelled it, and said with a look of joy.

“Fake, fake…”

As he spoke, he opened the wine jars, and the fat shopkeeper who was tied up opened his eyes wide and exclaimed that it was impossible. Until the last wine jar was opened, Old Zhong was suddenly stunned when he heard the words.

"It's not fake..."

"???"

No,

Why did you suddenly change your mind?
Shi Shaojian and the crowd were bewildered and puzzled. After more than ten minutes, the three of them left the restaurant. Shi Shaojian still looked bewildered and asked, "Vinegar is actually wine?"

“Vinegar is failed wine.”

Shi Jian added with disdain, Shi Shaojian nodded, Zhao Zheng sighed, "Yes, but who would have known that the workers at the Jin's Winery would be so careless that they would mix up the vinegar jar with the wine jar and use them to store wine, and not even wash them. And the shopkeeper Jin is the same, he won't acknowledge anything if it wasn't bought at the winery..."

"Businessmen value profit, but after this incident, I'm afraid the business of his restaurant and wine shop will plummet from now on..."

Shi Jian spoke calmly, but his eyes occasionally showed contempt, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Manager Jin.

Shi Shaojian, who was standing by, frowned and looked at Zhao Zheng and said, "But why didn't you have anyone arrest Shopkeeper Jin just now? Instead, you helped Shopkeeper Jin and the old man to reconcile."

"It's not me who thinks, it's Old Zhong who thinks."

"What do you think? What do you think, Old Zhong? I think you should let those soldiers catch that shopkeeper Jin and beat him up..."

Shi Shaojian spoke, Shi Shaojian was silent, Zhao Zheng thought for a while and said, under Shi Jian's gaze, he lowered his head in silence.

"What do you think of Lao Zhong's outfit?"

"They are all patches, poor people..."

Shi Shaojian fell silent after saying this. He was not stupid, so he naturally understood what Zhao Zheng meant. He just frowned and looked back at the restaurant.

"But……"

"Let's not go to the inn. Take me to the Gu residence where Yue Qiluo was sealed." Shi Jian suddenly said.

Zhao Zheng nodded and said okay, then looked at Shi Shaojian who was frowning and thinking beside him, and felt pity for the loving hearts of parents in the world.

Gu's house was not far away, and it only took more than ten minutes to get there. After telling the gatekeeper, Mr. Qin, his intention, the gatekeeper opened the door directly, and Zhao Zheng brought Shi Jian and the others to the well. "Good location!"

Shi Jian glanced around and commented that Shi Shaojian seemed to be still thinking about Lao Jin and Lao Zhong and said nothing.

Zhao Zheng pointed to the ground below: "The stone chamber that sealed Yue Qiluo is underground, but it has been cleaned out by the other party..."

There was no more talk. Zhao Zheng was silent and his mouth twitched as he stepped back and watched Shi Jian step on the ground.
And with a rumbling sound, a crack appeared on the ground, a crack leading to the cave where Yue Qiluo was sealed. After doing all this, Shi Jian looked at Zhao Zheng who wanted to speak just now in confusion.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

“…No…I’m fine.”

Seeing Shi Jian's puzzled look, Zhao Zheng shook his head with twitching eyelids. Shi Jian didn't waste any words. He said let's go and jumped towards the crack he stepped on. Shi Shaojian followed closely behind him.

Zhao Zheng hurriedly followed. After a while, the three came up empty-handed. Shi Jian frowned and stepped on the ground.
Accompanied by a rumbling sound, the cracks on the ground healed quickly, and he turned to look at Zhao Zheng.

"Come on, take me to find your master."

"Yes."

Another ten minutes,

Peace Inn,

backyard,

At the stone table.

“So, the founder of Qingyun Temple said that Yue Qiluo has broken the seal, and just wants us to come here earlier?” Shi Jian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and frowned.

"It's just a guess, but I've already reported this to my master. Originally, my master wanted me to strengthen the formation that sealed Yue Qiluo, but who knew she escaped last night."

Uncle Jiu spoke helplessly, and as he spoke, he frowned and said that he had reinforced the seal with the Lingbao Dongxuan Evil-Suppressing Talisman before leaving the stone chamber.

"Have you found out who is helping Yue Qiluo?"

Shi Jian frowned and asked. Uncle Jiu glanced at Shi Shaojian, who frowned slightly and said, "Shaojian, you go down first."

"Oh, good... um, no, why doesn't he have to go down!"

Halfway through the walk, Shi Shaojian realized that he was the only one walking away and turned around with wide eyes to point at Zhao Zheng who was standing calmly beside Uncle Jiu.
However, as Shi Jian frowned, Shi Shaojian immediately shut up, pursed his lips and lowered his head as he walked to the lobby of the inn.

"Humph, I'll eat you to death."

Shi Shaojian looked at the people who were gathered in groups of three or four to eat, found a seat to sit down, and said to the waiter.

"Waiter, give me one serving of the best tea and the best snacks in your store. No, give me two servings!!"

Uncle Jiu and the other two in the backyard didn't know about this, and Shi Jian wasn't interested in knowing either. He just looked at Uncle Jiu with a frown.

"You mean, Yue Qiluo's breaking of the seal is most likely related to Wuxin, who possesses the blood of demon slayer?"

"Yes, this person has special blood and has the power to exorcise evil spirits... and the formation that sealed Yue Qiluo is also very... special."

Uncle Jiu said that saying it was special was just a euphemism, in fact, saying it was weird was the accurate way to describe it. Shi Jian, who had been to the stone chamber, naturally understood this.

"Also... this person is very strange."

Seeing Shi Jian nod, Uncle Jiu frowned and paused before continuing, "Ah Zheng and I tried to use the arithmetic to figure out the other party's origins last night, but we found that the other party was like a fog. Not to mention figuring out the past, we couldn't even figure out what he was doing."

"Hmm? Even you can't figure it out?"

Shi Jian raised his eyebrows, and instantly perked up when he heard Uncle Jiu say this. Seeing Uncle Jiu rolling his eyes, he nodded helplessly.

"Yes, it is hard to figure out. Moreover, this person's cultivation is also a bit... strange... He clearly has magic power in his body, but he has never used it. Moreover, he can open his heavenly eyes to detect evil spirits without the help of magic power."

What Uncle Jiu was talking about was what he saw a few days ago when he secretly watched Wuxin dealing with the female ghost at Gu's house. Wuxin had magic power in his body, and not only that, but a lot of it. However, he found that Wuxin seemed unable to use the magic power in his body.

"Can I open my third eye without the help of magic power?"

Shi Jian subconsciously looked at Zhao Zheng, then frowned and looked into Zhao Zheng's eyes. After this look, he fell silent.

The general expression is as follows.

____
🇧🇷
(°-°〃)
How long has it been?

This kid's eyes...

Shi Jian stretched out his hand and rubbed his brows, thinking of the eye of heaven hanging above Zhao Zheng's head. He endured the discomfort in his heart and glanced at Zhao Zheng.
Just with this one look, he stopped in confusion, looking at the Buddha's light flashing in Zhao Zheng's eyes in puzzlement, the faint and pure Buddha's light.

Buddha...eyes?

Arhat? Bodhisattva? Buddha?

As his thoughts turned, a flash of lightning passed through Shi Jian's eyes. He frowned and looked into Zhao Zheng's eyes, then looked at Uncle Jiu. He repeated this several times and couldn't help but ask.

"A Zheng's eyes..."

"Yeah, I picked it up."

"..."

Ha ha,

Do I believe it?
Shi Jian looked at Uncle Jiu expressionlessly. Uncle Jiu said seriously, "That's the truth. I did pick it up."

"hehe!"

Shi Jian chuckled, glanced at Zhao Zheng's eyes, frowned slightly and reminded him: "It's best not to touch Buddhist things... as much as possible."

"It's okay, I picked it up."

"..."

Shi Jian looked at Uncle Jiu expressionlessly. Seeing Uncle Jiu's serious expression and no avoidance, he frowned and was silent for a while before speaking.

"Where is this person!"

"The Marshal's Mansion."

"Find a time tonight to test this person's strength and intentions, and first see if he is good or evil. As for Yue Qiluo..."

Shi Jian frowned and paused. The stone chamber where Yue Qiluo was sealed was too clean. It would be difficult for him to find her by relying on her breath.

"Why don't we perform a ritual tonight and find where Yue Qiluo is hiding?"

Uncle Jiu made a suggestion, or rather, stated his original plan. Shi Jian pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Well... that's fine."

"It doesn't seem good..."

Zhao Zheng frowned slightly and threw the three dollars in his hand. The dollars fell on the table, spun around, and then stopped.

Shi Jian frowned and looked at Dayang, then looked at Uncle Jiu who looked accustomed to it. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times and he looked at Dayang. Just this one look made his eyebrows raise.

"The mantis stalks the cicada..."

"The oriole is behind..."

Shi Jian and Uncle Jiu spoke one sentence each, and when they finished speaking, they both frowned. Zhao Zheng looked outside the inn with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"It seems that we are not the only ones coming this time..."

Watching the changes in the city's energy, as well as some demonic auras that he could only smell if he concentrated, he began to understand why his fortunes fluctuated, and why Shang Qingtian lied.

"The Changming Sect..."

……

night,
headquarters,
It is outside the backyard of the Marshal's Mansion.

Behind a big tree, two masked men in black clothes poked their heads out and looked at the soldiers patrolling around the Marshal's Mansion.

"You come and I come?"

Even with only a pair of eyes showing, it is still difficult to hide the handsomeness of the man, or rather, Zhao Zheng asked the man in black beside him.

The man in black, or rather, Shi Shaojian, looked at the patrolling soldiers with guns with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "You go and lead these soldiers away, I will go and test the strength of Wuxin."

"you sure?"

"……Sure!"

Shi Shaojian originally wanted to say he was not sure, but when he saw the guns those soldiers were holding, he immediately confirmed his original plan.

"Okay, but there's no need to lead him away."

Zhao Zheng pointed his finger, and the dark white sword energy broke through the air and dispersed into tiny sword energy that flew out and hit the necks of the patrolling soldiers accurately, causing them to fall to the ground and fall into a deep sleep.

"..."

No,

You have this ability.

Why did you bring me here?

Shi Shaojian was secretly thinking in his heart and looked at Zhao Zheng expressionlessly. He felt that the gap between him and Zhao Zheng was getting bigger and bigger.

"Wuxin is dressed as a monk. Do you remember the portrait I showed you this afternoon? He is dressed exactly like in the portrait."

Zhao Zheng spoke. He had originally thought of introducing Shi Jian and the others to Gu Xuanwu while they were having dinner, but unfortunately, Gu Xuanwu was so drunk that he had to call a doctor.

"I know, just wait."

Looking at the fainted soldiers, Shi Shaojian said something irritably and rushed to the backyard of the Marshal's Mansion.

Although he is not as agile as Qiu Sheng, his literary talent is much better than Ah Hai's. Zhao Zheng follows closely behind him.

at the same time,

Wuxin, who was just about to go to bed in the backyard of the Marshal's Mansion, frowned and moved his ears slightly to listen to the outside world which was too quiet.

Looking at the sleeping crescent moon on the other side of the 38th parallel, I got up quietly, put on my shoes, and walked out of the room.
As soon as he left the room, Wuxin saw a man in black climbing over the wall and entering the yard with ease. He also saw another man in black pushing open the backyard door and entering the backyard.

"..."

Looking at Zhao Zheng who pushed the door open, Shi Shaojian took a deep breath and looked back at the courtyard wall behind him, glared at Zhao Zheng angrily, moved his feet, clenched his fists and rushed towards Wuxin.

"Who are you? Why did you attack me?"

Wuxin frowned as he looked at Shi Shaojian who was rushing towards him with his fists clenched, but his eyes were attracted by Zhao Zheng who was standing beside him with his hands behind his back.

Or,

Attracted by Zhao Zheng's exposed eyes.

"Ok?"

Looking at Wuxin's gaze, Zhao Zheng raised his eyebrows, and with his hands behind his back he silently cast an ordinary ancient illusion on himself.

Wu Xin frowned and thought to himself that he was dazzled, but facing the attack from Shi Shaojian, he had no time to think more.

"I don't think I have ever offended you."

Wu Xin frowned and dodged Shi Shaojian's punch. He usually stayed at the Marshal's Mansion and rarely went out. He only went to Gu's house the most. He was busy looking for houses these days.

He doesn't remember how he has ever offended anyone.

"Without further ado."

Shi Shaojian pinched his throat, stepped his left foot to the side, stopped leaning forward, moved his right hand, and hit Wuxin in the chest with his elbow.

"you……"
