Yin Zhaoxian and Shi Yusheng calmed down for a while before they came to their senses. The owner of the Four Treasures of the Study stall beside them laughed and said to them.
“You two are lucky. Anyone who dares to act like that in Zhuangyuandu is definitely something ordinary people can’t afford to offend. I don’t even dare to remind you, go away quickly, or do you want to see the Four Treasures of the Study? ?”
Yin Zhaoxian and Shi Yusheng, who were still frightened, said “Thank you and no” to the stall owner, then packed up the book boxes and walked to the north.
When we arrived at the small pier at the end, we found the awning boat quickly. Ji Yuan was not wearing a raincoat or a bamboo hat. He was sitting on the bow reading a book and looked more elegant than the scholars coming and going.
Seeing Ji Yuan, Yin Zhaoxian felt relieved. He and Shi Yusheng carried the book box and squeezed through the crowd to the dock. Ji Yuan also put down the book in time.
“Mr. Ji, just now we…”
Ji Yuan stretched out his hand to stop Yin Zhaoxian.
“Okay, you two don’t want to discuss this matter too much. Get on the boat first and let’s cross the river.”
Hearing this, Yin Zhaoxian realized that Mr. Ji must know what happened, so he stopped talking and got on the boat with Shi Yusheng one after another.
With yesterday’s experience, the two of them got used to sitting on the awning a lot today.
The small boat left the port. Looking back at the large ferries on Zhuangyuan Ferry, they were still waiting for passengers. It was estimated that the fastest one would take another hour to sail.
As the boat moved forward, their line of sight became farther and farther, and the two of them always felt that the Zhuangyuan Crossing was blurry a bit too fast.
Ji Yuan was paddling at the bow of the boat, watching the two of them frequently looking back at the Zhuangyuan Ferry, and said with a smile:
“Master Yin, Mr. Shi, our boat is small but we crossed first, so we have the upper hand. Don’t look back, look ahead, the Gyeonggi Prefecture is ahead!”
The two turned their heads after hearing this, and were shocked to find that they were almost on the other side.
The awning boat did not land at the big pier, but stopped at a smaller step on the side. After the two scholars stepped ashore on the slightly swaying bow, Ji Yuan said goodbye to the two of them. .
“Master Yin, Mr. Shi, only ten miles to the west is Gyeonggi Prefecture. I wish you both success in the Imperial Examination!”
When Yin Zhaoxian and Shi Yusheng were saying goodbye, the former suddenly remembered something and took out a small black wooden sign from his arms.
“Mr. Ji, this is…”
After speaking for a while, Yin Zhao looked at Shi Yusheng first, then stepped onto the black awning boat again, approached Ji Yuan and whispered.
“Mr. Ji, this is what the Lord Chenghuang of Chunhui Mansion asked me to deliver to you.”
Ji Yuan frowned and took it solemnly. Perhaps because of Haoran’s righteousness, he was unable to notice this small wooden sign of Yin Qi in Yin Zhaoxian’s arms.
After Ji Yuan took the wooden sign, Yin Zhaoxian went ashore again.
After the three of them said goodbye again, the two scholars walked towards the pier over there, where they could charter a carriage to Gyeonggi Prefecture, while Ji Yuan stood on the awning boat and took a closer look at the small wooden sign.
This is a Yin wood that uses the method of conveying spirits from things to record events. This method is found in several jade signs borrowed from the old dragon.
‘What does the Chunhui Mansion City God want from me? ’
Ji Yuan sat down and thought about it, focusing on the message on the wooden sign. There were pictures of the underworld, including a snake soul that was tightly bound in a dark red execution chamber.
The head of the Punishment Department personally swung a red-black whip onto the snake soul. Each blow caused the snake soul to scream in agony. During this period, the ghosts cut off the scales with knives. There is also the release of an insect that can collapse trypophobia and bite the snake soul that has lost its soul scales…
Even if Ji Yuan looked at it at this moment, his scalp would feel tight. The snake soul’s screams never stopped, but the pain could not be ended. The chief officer of the Punishment Department sneered and told the snake demon that the punishment still needed to be carried out. One hundred and twenty said, only if you confess can your sentence be reduced and you will be happy.
The worst thing is that the snake demon has said everything he can, and in the end only twenty sentences are reduced. The remaining punishment will last for half a year. Until the last punishment is completed, its demon soul will only be unable to survive. Live and dissipate, all turned into Yin spiritual energy to replenish the Yin Division.
But the torture of the demon soul is secondary. The main thing is what the monster confessed during the torture.
One of the special features of “The Magic of Objects” is that it can make the viewer read through a long period of time in a short time. After Jiyuan finished reading the content on Yinmu, the outside world only took a dozen breaths.
“Hey, I am powerless now about things other than Dazhen. Zhao Chenghuang, you really think highly of me…”
Muttering, Ji Yuan stuffed the wooden sign into his arms, then took the oar and propped it up the shore, rowing back to Chenjiacun.
On the second and third days, in the Tongtian River Water Mansion, Longzi Yingfeng received reports from Yasha for two consecutive days, saying that the special fisherman on the river could no longer be found. Yingfeng was so anxious that he couldn’t help but go there himself. I traveled hundreds of miles along the river, but I couldn’t find my father’s friend.
. . .
How could Ji Yuan of Gyeonggi Prefecture not come to visit, but unlike Yin Zhaoxian and Shi Yusheng who were looking for common people’s houses to rent to prepare for the exam, he had no set goals, and he didn’t have to have a bed to sleep. He just went with his feelings. Wander around the city.
The streets and alleys are all orderly, with shops and houses lined up in rows. The spacious roads and prosperous commerce are Ji Yuan’s first impression.
The main roads that crisscross the city are the noisiest places, mixed with the noise of carriages and horses, wooden wheels rolling on the ground, and the sounds of sellers and shouts. Merchants and tourists from all over the world gather here. Chunhui Mansion is completely incomparable to this one.
Gyeonggi Prefecture has a total of 81 Dafangs and is home to nearly 400,000 people. It is the well-deserved capital of Dajeong.
In the busy city, Ji Yuan, who was just strolling around, was suddenly attracted by something.
On the streets dotted with shops, one day a parade passed by, and behind it was an umbrella-holding seductress wearing a tall hat. They did not walk from one street to the end, but turned into an alley.
Ji Yuan’s heart moved. This must be a person with a surplus of Yin life who is about to die, and the Yin Division has come to seduce his soul!
This kind of thing was something he had never seen before. Out of curiosity, he wanted to see what happened, so he naturally followed him.
Avoiding the flow of people on the street and dodging the cars and horses, Ji Yuan soon turned into the alley. Although he could no longer see the Yin people, he could smell the Yin energy regardless of his discernment. Traces, it is not difficult to find the right place.
This square is called “Jin’an Square”. Although it is not as big as the palaces along the street like princes and nobles, the people who live in it can be considered to be either rich or noble. At least Ji Yuan has followed all the way. The surrounding houses are not small. This is in Gyeonggi Prefecture, where every inch of land is precious.
In about a cup of tea, Ji Yuan caught up with Yin Si Gui Cha. They were standing outside a mansion with “Zhou Mansion” written on it.
The words on the plaque are so big that even if they are vague, they can still be distinguished.
The Yinsi servant seemed to be waiting for something, while Ji Yuan stared at the interior of the mansion with his eyes widened from a distance, and could vaguely see the rising aura of everyone in the mansion.
“Huh?”
Ji Yuan suddenly noticed something abnormal. He held back the pain and opened his eyes wider again. The aura of Zhou Mansion suddenly became more vivid and clear. There was actually a faint special aura hidden among the popular auras. It was a bit hard to describe. Is it a demon or something.
At this time, the servants of the Yin Division probably realized that it was almost time and walked in through the door one after another.
Although the underworld book can sense the condition of the person who records it, it is not a life and death book. It is impossible to know when you will die after you are born. It can only feel the decrease in life span, and the person who can feel the record The changes in fortune and virtue will make the underworld aware that the person is about to die at the appropriate time, which is somewhat similar to vague fortune telling, but more intuitive.
Ji Yuan thought for a while and then lightly jumped into the Zhou Mansion.
In a bedroom of a large house in the backyard of Zhou Mansion, a pale man in his sixties was lying on the bed, surrounded by a circle of men and women, and the atmosphere was very dull.
“The doctor said, I…just, it’s only been these two days…after I die…the eldest son will manage, manage, the family business…Remember the family motto, don’t do it right…”
The eldest son, who was kneeling beside the bed with red eyes, suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.
“Father! That **** must have harmed you. You have been kind enough to take her in for many years. She repays kindness with hatred. I will never spare her!”
“Yiqing! Cough cough cough…”
The dying man on the bed suddenly became excited and drank his son.
“You, if you do this, the one who repays kindness with hatred…is our Zhou family!”
At this time, the door of the room opened, and a woman in white with a white velvet flower on her head came in and walked directly to the bed without even looking at the eldest son of Zhou.
The eldest son of Zhou, who looked angry just a moment ago, immediately took a few steps back, not daring to look directly at the woman.
The woman walked to Mr. Zhou’s bed and sat down, with a hint of sadness on her face, and stretched out her hand to gently caress the face of the old man on the bed.
“I shouldn’t have come here today. Someone from the underworld will bump into me and they won’t let me go easily, but… you have been in love with me for more than thirty years, so please stay with me for the last time today!”
The woman said it has been thirty years, but her face is beautiful and young, and she does not look old at all.
The old man who was about to die seemed to be having a flashback at this moment, his face became a little rosy, and his expression was even more excited.
Others in the room seemed to have known about this for a long time, and they all moved away with a little fear, not to mention not daring to speak.
It was at this moment that the seducer from the Underworld came here riding a gust of evil wind, but failed to notice anything unusual about the woman beside the bed.
Two soul seducers came forward and said to Mr. Zhou: “Zhou Niansheng, your life is over, come with us!”
It would be okay if he was really seduced and walked away like this. Unfortunately, there were two Niyoushen outside the door at this time. When the seducers were performing their duties, Niyoushen also entered the room after a routine inspection of the Zhou Mansion. , then I was startled, and immediately focused my attention on the woman beside the bed, who also looked at the two Nikki Goddess calmly.
