Chapter 170 Weird, Depressed
In addition to these people on the wanted list, there is another type of practitioner on the list that cannot be ignored.
With the current chaos in the world, the importance of spiritual practice is becoming more and more important.
A few decades ago, practitioners were extremely rare, and ordinary people simply did not have the motivation to exhaust their wealth to gain extraordinary power.
But nowadays, as the world becomes more and more chaotic, more and more people come into contact with spiritual practice through various methods.
Once these people cause trouble, they are also eligible to be issued a red wanted order, making it even more difficult to control them.
It is different from Li Sheng’s more classical practice method.
These people are exposed to more heretical methods, and some have incomplete methods obtained from unknown sources.
Practice randomly based on your own guesses and inferences.
In the end, he violated countless taboos, lost all his humanity, and his ghost nature took over, eventually doing all kinds of evil things that are not tolerated by heaven and earth.
He can't even maintain his human form, and he doesn't regard himself as a human being.
The chaos in Dongjiang Mansion alone was so great that Li Sian could not even imagine what kind of horrific situation it would be in places that were really bathed in the flames of war.
Finally it was Li Si'an's turn to enter the city. After the officers and soldiers guarding the city checked their forged identity documents, they let them enter the city directly.
But having said that, we can’t blame the officers and soldiers for not checking carefully.
Although Li Sian and Shiyi used fake identities and fake documents.
However, these things were all made and distributed by the Tianhu County government themselves, and they can be regarded as official fakes.
To a certain extent, these things are really identity documents that can no longer be true.
After the two entered the city, they planned to find a place to settle down temporarily, and then slowly inquire about the news in the city.
At this moment, another dispute broke out on the street.
Shiyi also turned her head and looked curiously.
It looked like they were two men who didn't know each other, because one accidentally stepped on the other's foot.
The other person did not apologize, but walked away directly.
As a result, the conflicts between the two sides have become more and more serious, and the rhetorical conflicts have become more and more intense.
No one in the crowd tried to dissuade them, and they watched the conflict between the two gradually escalate with laughter.
In the end, the two seemed to feel that the quarrel was not enough, and they started pushing and shoving.
When the pushing started, you started punching and kicking each other.
The onlookers were even more excited, standing aside and cheering for the two of them happily.
One person was beaten until his face was covered in blood, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he even lost two teeth.
But everyone cheered for the other man excitedly, and even encouraged the man to fight back with more cruel methods:
"You are still not a man, just like this after being beaten. Forget it? Don’t embarrass us Dongjiang Mansion!”
The man was yelled at and raised his head. He roared and rushed towards the opponent.
He bit his ears, gouged his eyes, and used all kinds of cruel methods.
The man opposite him didn't notice for a moment. One of his eyeballs was pierced and bleeding, and he was about to lose his life.
Li Sian in the distance frowned slightly and rushed forward to separate the two.
But who knew that the man whose eyes were about to be deprived of his eyes roared like a wild beast.
An extremely violent anger and distortion suddenly broke out in his body.
The chest and ribs exploded inch by inch, and countless tentacles of flesh and blood shot out from his body, directly passing through the chest of the man opposite.
With a pop, the man whose body was pierced by the tentacles vomited blood and fell to the ground, dying.
But the man who suddenly changed didn't fare well either.
Such a violent distortion broke out, causing his body to lose control and his spirit to collapse.
It gradually turned into a pile of limp flesh that had lost its self-awareness and instinct.
This is completely normal. With such severe distortion, it is extremely difficult for even evil objects to survive.
At this time, the government officials also arrived belatedly, dispersed the onlookers, and began to clean up the scene.
Li Sian also noticed that these common people saw human murders taking place, especially those who were so curious about living people and degenerated into twisted and evil things.
Although there was a hint of panic on his face, there was mostly a sense of excitement and excitement in his eyes.
It seemed as if what I had just witnessed was not that two lives had disappeared, but that I had just finished reading an exciting story that had nothing to do with me.
At this time, the police officers had cleared the scene and confirmed that it was just an 'ordinary' fight.
After a clerk records the details of today's case, and then notifies their family members to come and take the body back, it will be considered as a matter of course.
Just when the group of detectives were about to leave, Li Sian discovered an acquaintance among them.
He was the only civil servant among the policemen.
"Brother Chen, you still look like you after so many years."
The literary official's name is Chen Dao, who was also the same person who took the provincial examination with Li Sian back then.
At that time, Li Sian still remembered that he probably passed the tenth place in the provincial examination and barely got a scholar position.
Looking at the other party's appearance now, he probably used this identity to stay in the Dongjiang Mansion and became a minor official.
This is indeed a good way out. At least I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, I have monthly income, and my job is relatively stable.
After working for thirty or forty years, I might be able to move up a level or two, leaving a way for my descendants to enter the government office.
When Chen Dao was shouted, he subconsciously turned around and looked at Li Sian blankly. It seemed that he no longer recognized Li Sian's appearance.
"My dear friend is..."
Li Sian smiled and shook his head: "Brother Chen is indeed a noble man who forgets things a lot."
"My dear Li Si'an, I am a scholar of the same year as Brother Chen."
Chen Dao was startled when he heard this and reacted suddenly.
“It’s you!”
“Brother Li’s appearance has changed so much after so many years that Chen really can’t recognize him.”
Although I feel Li Sian's appearance changed greatly, but the biggest reason why Chen Dao was able to react immediately was that the trouble Li Sian made was so big.
He skipped the teacher-appreciation banquet and even stopped worshiping his mentor. He fled out of the city that night and disappeared.
Chen Dao couldn't even imagine how someone could do such a thing at the last moment after studying hard for ten years.
But having said that, Chen Dao really couldn't understand Li Sian's behavior at first.
But after only a few days, Chen Dao understood the meaning of Li Sian's actions and sincerely admired Li Sian for acting decisively and without hesitation.
Finally, I met an acquaintance, and he happened to be a clerk in the government office. He was the perfect person to pry for information.
Li Si'an went straight to a restaurant, paid for it himself, invited the other party to sit down and have a good meal, and talk about the twists and turns over the years.
“Could this girl be my younger brother and sister?”
On the way, Chen Dao curiously asked the woman hiding behind Li Sian, his eyes full of envy.
"Hehehe." Li Si'an chuckled a few times, and then said:
"This is my sister, she is just coming with me to Dongjiang Mansion to see the world."
"As for Zhuo Jing, she is resting at home. The road is bumpy and dangerous, so it is not appropriate to take her out."
Chen Dao nodded understandingly after hearing this.
After a while, the two came to the restaurant, and Li Sian asked Chen Dao what he liked to eat.
But Chen Dao shied away for a few words, and then said that he had a bad appetite recently, so he could just eat some cakes and drink tea.
If there is a chance another day, he will be the host and invite Li Sian to have another meal at another restaurant.
"The food and wine in this place are really not very good, but the special pastries are so delicious that even the magistrate often orders a few boxes to entertain guests."
Hearing this, Li Sian naturally followed suit. I ordered two plates of special pastries and a pot of scented tea.
In fact, for Li Sian, any food tastes the same in his mouth.
So when the pastries arrived, Li Sian only ate two or three pieces.
Chen Dao ate all the remaining seven or eight pastries and drank a large pot of tea, as if he had come to Li Sian to beat the autumn wind.
While eating, Li Sian also asked about what he wanted to know.
Chen Dao also responded while eating snacks:
"You are talking about the prefect."
"He is an upright and honest official. Not only He has repeatedly shown good governance, and his love for the people is beyond words.”
“It’s not like I haven’t seen people pretending to be upright officials, but most of them do it for promotion, so they deliberately pretend to be honest. "
"But this is not the case for our prefect. For example, he often personally visits the rare old people with deaf ears in the city."
"On weekdays, he also instructs the police to deliver grain and rice to these old people on time, and sends people to Care about their daily life."
Li Sian frowned slightly when he heard this.
As the saying goes, everyone in the world is seeking profit, is there something in these old people that the prefect Zhao Wenze is targeting?
"The prefect Zhao once said: I am old, and I am old as a person."
"If you can't even take care of the elderly, how can they work hard, and how can you make them believe that they can be properly accommodated when they get old?"
Li Sian nodded after listening. , noncommittal.
After a while, the snacks were finished, the tea was drunk, and Li Sian had almost finished asking.
The two sides stood up and said goodbye.
And they were polite to each other for a while, preparing to get together more often if there is an opportunity in the future to talk about the love of the same year.
Just after both parties left, the waiter who was clearing the table was surprised to find that he had only eaten two or three pieces of the two plates of snacks that were served.
The remaining eight pieces of dim sum were not touched at all, which made the waiter shout that it was a waste.
“Rich people are extravagant. How can you stop eating such expensive snacks after just two pieces?”
The waiter secretly stuffed these pastries into the store when no one was paying attention. Inside his own cloth pocket.
He also picked up one of the pieces and stuffed it into his mouth.
In an instant, a strange smell that tasted like chewing wax made him vomit the snack.
Obviously the snacks are sweet and delicious, but when you put them in your mouth, there is only a strange taste that is extremely astringent.
It tastes like chewing dirt. It is extremely unpalatable and cannot taste any fragrance.
"No wonder these three guests only took a few bites. It turns out that this bad cook ruined his specialty pastries today."
