Chapter 45 45: Where did Chen Guiyang go?
In March, there is a slanting wind and drizzle, and the spring is cold and sharp.
The young man wore a thin spring shirt and a wide-brimmed bamboo hat on his head. He was riding leisurely on the back of a donkey with shiny black fur.
The donkey followed Chen Jin. Although the journey was long, the food, drink and treatment were not bad, so he gained weight and became stronger.
This place belongs to the outskirts of Sishan County. There are few houses everywhere and the roads are deserted.
From a geographical point of view, Sishan County and Genshui County are next to each other, and they are both under the jurisdiction of Yunling Prefecture.
Above Yunling Mansion is Gaozhou County.
Chen Jin told his uncle, Chen Liang and others that he wanted to study abroad. Of course, it was not a real study tour, but a pretense.
A cover that can accommodate many explanations.
He left Chen Zexiang. The main purpose of going out was to find someone.
Chen Guiyang!
Just like what Chen Jin said to the man in black who knew the side arts that night:
"I will find him and kill him!"
Therefore, after the New Year, Chen Jin felt that it was time to put his words into practice.
Otherwise, this thought will keep lingering in my mind, like a gravel mixed in the running water, making me feel sick and uncomfortable from time to time.
Regarding this matter, Chen Abu and others did not know anything about it, so they felt that Chen Jin's rash study trip was too abrupt, as if he just left as soon as he thought about it.
Very irrational.
You must know that in such a dynasty, as long as you leave the county, you are considered to be traveling far away.
Traveling far away is very dangerous.
Cold and heat patients, thieves and gangsters, wild animals, snakes and insects...
All kinds of accidents and accidents can lead to serious consequences.
So for ordinary people, the farthest place they have been is the county seat.
I don’t dare to go any further.
There was no reason to go either.
Chen Jin didn't explain to his uncle. It was unnecessary and unclear, so "study tour" was the best excuse.
It is more reasonable to find a good teacher to study before the college examination begins.
In the past, Chen Abu would never have let his nephew travel far and take risks. Even if he hugs Chen Jin's legs and beats him to death, he won't let go.
But with Chen Jin's series of strong performances, Chen Abu realized that his nephew had grown up and was not only sensible, but also independent.
So he couldn't say anything.
If it prevented Chen Jin from studying abroad and failed the college examination, he would regret it even more.
Chen Jin didn't really have to leave on his trip this time. He had to go to the Genshui County Yamen to handle the road quotation documents and so on.
This is done to ensure that the procedures comply with the law and avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
By the way, let's see if we can find out any information about "Chen Guiyang".
After all, the scholar was imprisoned in Genshui County Death Row.
Genshui County is theoretically the first site.
So when Chen Jin came out of death row, he went from being the head jailer, to Chen Wu and Liu Laoer, to the mysterious man in black, to Jia Dianli...
This is considered a thread.
The one tied to the end of the line is "Chen Guiyang".
It's a pity that this thread is intermittent and does not form a clear clue.
Needless to say, Liu Laoer and others who were responsible for beating the sap, even Jia Dianli, who was in charge of the prison, did not know much about it. They only knew that the other party was from the prefecture and county.
However, the states and counties are so large and far away.
Based on Chen Jin's current situation, if he wanted to go to Gaozhou County, he might have to walk for a month or two.
You can use spells to get on your way, but that will consume your soul and mind very seriously, making it difficult for your body to bear the load.
It would be unwise to do that.
Moreover, even if you go to the prefectures and counties, there is a huge sea of people, and you have no clue, and your eyes will be dark.
It turned out that the man in black was someone close to Chen Guiyang, and he must know a lot of things. Unfortunately, that's a dead man.
The meaning of death warrior is that if you don't kill him, he will commit suicide.
Chen Jin practiced in the mountains and learned a lot, but he never learned techniques such as soul searching.
As for the strategy of deliberately letting the opponent go back and then following them, I think it is feasible, but the man in black is not a fool.
So after thinking about it, I decided to kill him.
Maybe we can catch the next fish.
But now it seems that the other party is indeed smart. He knows what can't be done and runs away immediately.
Chen Jin originally thought that if these people moved around in one place and did something, they would definitely leave traces.
As long as there are traces, you can find each other.
But after some investigation in the streets and alleys, nothing was found.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
I don't know whether the other party did it too cleanly, or Chen Jin was alone and had limited ears and eyes, so he couldn't find any clues.
Or perhaps, there is something fishy about this matter.
All in all, the man named "Chen Guiyang" disappeared without a trace, as if he had never existed.
There are really too many possibilities that extend from this.
But if you think too much, it will turn into a mess and random thoughts.
It hinders practice.
Chen Jin is a practitioner, not a yamen catcher doing criminal investigation.
So he gave up and simply left Genshui County with the road citation document and rode a donkey to Sishan County.
Perhaps, this is another idea that can gain something.
Chen Jin's temperament developed in the mountains is quite casual and does not want to be restrained.
For him, walking more and seeing different green mountains are all part of spiritual practice.
Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is called "study travel".
……
The wind and rain are gradually getting stronger. If we continue to hurry, we may get our clothes wet.
Chen Jin has cultivated to the second level, and the essence and yang in his belly are pure and clear, but after all, his level is still low, far from being immune to cold and heat, and he will be afraid of the cold and get sick.
The reason for wearing thin clothing is actually to use the natural cold to stimulate the movement of Jing and Yang, feed back to the body, and sharpen the will.
It’s like practicing practice all the time.
But just coming to soak in the cold rain would be too much.
To put it bluntly, if he did not have the blessing of his soul and mind, if he had not mastered the "Huang Ting Sutra", "Sword Manual on the Mountain", etc., his current body would be in a state where he had just started to practice.
Otherwise, Master Yunshan would not call him "arrogant".
It’s the appearance that deceives you.
But when it comes to "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", Chen Jin has never done it deliberately. He is not even interested in attending a cultural outing.
Looking up, I saw what seemed to be a grass-roofed pavilion in front of the dirt road.
In the Qian Dynasty, as long as it was an official place, there were sayings that it was a short pavilion of five miles and a long pavilion of ten miles. That is, pavilions are built at regular intervals along the roadside to provide pedestrians with a place to rest, shelter from wind and rain, and to say farewell.
If some merchants miss Sutou, they often choose to spend the night in Tingyi.
Although the current government is relatively stable, it is clearly showing signs of decline. Especially in the small place below, all kinds of confusion and chaos are getting worse and worse, and they can no longer be whitewashed.
Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s just say that due to lack of maintenance, these pavilions and posts looked quite dilapidated due to wind and rain, and they began to leak.
But having a top to cover your head is better than nothing.
Chen Jin urged the donkey and hurried over. Just as he reached the edge of the pavilion, he suddenly saw a flash of a knife and a man shouted sharply: "You scholar, you are so verbose, are you really not afraid of death?"
Let me explain that the way this book is written is not the Goudao Farming Immortality style, nor is it the pure face-slapping Long Aotian style, it can barely be regarded as the Xinxing style. The development of the characters and plots will basically conform to the settings and have logical relationships.
Thanks to the book friend "Liu Shui Song Zen" for the second reward!
