Chapter 47 47: Villains are like ghosts, ghosts are like villains
The ferocious thing pressed down on Zhang Tong's head, opening its mouth to suck. A pair of indifferent eyes stared at Chen Jin on the other side, showing greed.
Chen Jin turned a blind eye, thinking of the man who hacked the statue with a knife before, but he was unable to resist and did not dare to retaliate;
On the scholar's side, he tried his best to protect the statue, and even braved the wind and rain to carry the statue back to the temple. However, he was possessed and the yang nutrients in his body were devoured by whales.
If this continues, even if he doesn't die, he will become seriously ill.
It is true that things in the world are absurd and the truth is upside down.
It goes back to the old saying: villains are like ghosts, and ghosts are like villains.
Chen Jin thought of the dilapidated mountain temple in the back mountain of Chen Zexiang, and the "golden armored god" who had been "mountain god" and became the old wolf.
Combined with this "study tour" and what we saw and heard along the way, we can find a phenomenon: that is, the number of temples that have been ruined or are in the process of being destroyed is increasing.
These temples, such as mountain gods, river gods, land gods, etc., were basically subordinate to the main temple of etiquette and law in their predecessors, but now they are unable to receive incense for worship, so they have declined.
It ranges from the neglect of the gate to the collapse of the temple. There is also an even weirder situation, that is, a mutation occurs and the "god" is reduced to a "trick".
It seems to be a "corruption" phenomenon.
For example, the one currently possessing Zhang Xiucai.
It has long since lost its divine aura, and has a strange meaning all over its body: ferocious and cunning, greedy yet very timid.
When he first entered Tingyi, Chen Jin only took one look and saw it, so he gave a reminder when making comments.
However, Zhang Xiucai was ignorant and only recognized his own set of ideas and stuck to the rules.
Now this guy didn't realize that there was a strange thing sitting on his neck. He thought that he was caught in the wind and rain, which caused the cold air to enter his body and became infected with wind and cold.
He quickly wrapped his cotton robe tighter and huddled up in his frail body.
But it was no use, I was still shivering from the cold and feeling dizzy.
At this time, he suddenly longed to warm himself up by the fire and drink a bowl of hot water.
But the pavilion was empty, it was drafty and cold from all sides.
Zhang Tong felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, like two mountains pressing down on him, and he could hardly open his eyes.
At this point, he couldn't help but feel regretful. He shouldn't have been brave and put the statue back into the collapsed temple.
With his body and bones, exposed to the wind and rain, he was simply looking for illness.
Don't underestimate the wind and cold, especially in the wild. Once you are infected and no one helps to treat you, you may get sick and die.
Yes, there are others in Tingyi.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiucai managed to wake up and looked at Chen Jin for help.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Chen Jin turned his back to him, seeming to be watching the wind and rain outside.
There was no other way, Zhang Tong could only open his mouth and ask for help with difficulty: "Chen, Brother Chen..."
When the sound came out, it was as weak as a mosquito or fly, and was immediately blown away by the blowing wind.
Unknowingly, he was so weak that he couldn't even speak.
What's even worse is that when he saw that the wind and rain outside were getting lighter, Chen Jin stood up, took out a short raincoat from his book, put it on, and then put on a bamboo hat.
It looks like he is leaving.
Zhang Tong was in a hurry.
At this time, if Chen Jin left and left him in Tingyi, he would have no choice but to wait for death.
He struggled hard and wanted to shout...
At the same time, in the field of vision invisible to the naked eye, the strange thing lying on Zhang Tong looked fierce.
Compared to Zhang Tong, it seemed to be even less willing to let Chen Jin leave the pavilion, so it jumped up and pounced on Chen Jin like a hunting vulture. This attack was so fierce that a dark wind blew in the pavilion.
The next moment, the strange thing landed on Chen Jin's shoulders smoothly, and it couldn't help but smile in triumph.
Compared with the scholar, the essence and yang in this child's body is much purer, and he is more suitable to be a host. As long as the essence and yang are absorbed cleanly, it can grow quickly...
Zhi!
Just as the strange thing was feeling delighted, a hot breath suddenly swept over him, as if a ball of fire was spurting out from Chen Jin's body.
It had no time to react before it was burned to ashes by the fire.
Chen Jin turned around and looked at Zhang Tong who was struggling on the ground: "Zhang Xiucai, you called me?"
Strangely enough, at this moment, Zhang Tong suddenly came to his senses, and his whole body seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden and became relaxed.
He blinked his eyes inexplicably, but the chill on his body did not subside, stimulating him to sneeze, and the mucus flowed out of his nose, making him look very embarrassed.
However, after experiencing the feeling of weakness and death just now, he could no longer care about his face at this moment, and said hurriedly: "Brother Chen, my clothes are wet and I am very cold. Can you borrow some clothes to wear?"
< br>
Chen Jin said calmly: "Unfortunately, my clothes are very thin and I have them all on me."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Indeed, in terms of clothes alone, he was much thinner than Zhang Tong.
Hearing this, Zhang Tong stamped his feet, trying to drive away the chill, and then begged: "Can you help light a fire?"
Chen Jin chuckled and said: "Earlier, the man wanted to light a fire, but you refused to let him go. Now that he has left, there is no more firewood. Where do you want me to light a fire?"
Hearing this, Zhang Tong felt very uncomfortable and didn't know how to explain it.
Chen Jin was too lazy to pay attention to him.
In fact, Chen Jin had been secretly observing the movements of strange things just now.
The strength of this trick is not worth mentioning. It can be regarded as a phenomenon, but it can become an observed sample.
At present, it seems that this monster is similar to those mountain spirits and ghosts. It is difficult to invade towns where people gather. It only lurks, moves in the mountains and fields, and chooses people to eat.
But if this momentum continues, it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.
At this time, the wheels were rattling outside, and a carriage drove over and stopped at the edge of the pavilion.
The coachman, who was about forty years old, was a shrewd and capable man. He poked his head out, saw Zhang Tong, and shouted quickly: "Zhang Xiucai, I finally found you."
Zhang Tong also recognized him and was overjoyed: "Brother Hu, why are you here?"
Coachman Hu Sange replied: "My master was waiting for you on the farm, but he didn't see you coming. He was worried that something would happen, so he sent me to pick you up."
Zhang Tong said: "I'm ashamed. I went out in the morning, the wind was beautiful and the sun was beautiful, but when I didn't expect to get here, it started raining. I didn't bring rain gear, so I had to take shelter here, which was delayed."
Brother Hu said "Oh": "Then get in the car quickly. Your clothes are soaked, but don't get cold."
"Okay."
Zhang Tong was waiting for this sentence and quickly packed up his things. As soon as he took a step, he suddenly felt that his vision went dark, the world was spinning, and he almost fell to the ground.
"What's wrong with you?"
Brother Hu quickly jumped out of the car and supported him.
Zhang Tong composed himself: "It's okay, maybe it's because I've been sitting for a long time."
After Brother Hu saw him off in the car, he turned around, looked at Chen Jin, saluted, and asked, "Excuse me, your Excellency, are you also a scholar?"
Chen Jin replied: "That's right."
Brother Hu Sange was all smiles: "If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to the village for a banquet."
