The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 131
At noon, the sun was like fire.

When Pei Wende officially arrived at the entrance of Zhangjia Village, calm had been restored here.

Judging from the movement of the village alone, there is no trace of the "government personnel" that the three civet cat brothers said.

However, Pei Wende, who was extremely observant, did not ignore certain details.

For example, the traces and aura left by him when he fought the mandrill before can no longer be felt at all.

Looking from a distance, the whole village looked as if it had just been repaired, and even the traces and breath left by the mandrill had been cleaned up.

"Looks like a professional."

Because he is a practitioner, Pei Wende knew how difficult it is to completely eliminate the evil spirit left by the mandrill.

Back then, Pei Wende wanted to drive away the evil spirit of the mandrill.

They also cut their wrists to let blood, and chanted mantras, but they still couldn't completely eradicate the evil spirit of the mandrill.

But those "government personnel" have only been here for a long time, and all these abnormalities have been "killed".

Yes!

In Pei Wende's eyes, what those "government personnel" did was not simply to exorcise evil spirits, but to fundamentally obliterate all traces of mandrill left in this world.

The vitality of heaven and earth is a wonderful rhythm under normal conditions, flowing and penetrating each other like water in five lakes.

But in Zhangjia Village now, the rhythm that only practitioners can see has been forcibly "smoothed", leaving only an "empty" like deathly silence.

In this way, not to mention the evil spirit left by the mandrill, even the vitality that was normally flowing between the heaven and the earth took the initiative to avoid Zhangjiacun.

Pei Wende didn't know how long this abnormal "smoothing" would last.

But this didn't prevent him from realizing how terrifying the guy who could use this method was.

Pei Wende asked himself that he had seen a lot during this period of time, but it was the first time he had seen such a method that could artificially interfere with the natural movement of heaven and earth.

"If I can get back the state of being possessed in Mulian Temple..."

"Then take the initiative to use evil energy to incarnate as an 'earth dragon', maybe it is possible to do similar things."

Involuntarily squinting his eyes, Pei Wende muttered as he looked in the direction of the village.

......................................................................................................

"he came!"

The young Taoist who was drinking tea quietly in the yard suddenly raised his head.

Then the young Taoist ignored Butcher Zhang and his wife, got up and walked towards the entrance of the village.

"This is too bad, how could he go down the mountain at this time?"

Through a series of actions by his wife, Zhang Tuhu, who already knew that the young Taoist priest was not kind, immediately changed his face.

"I'll follow and have a look, you stay at home and don't wander around."

After briefly explaining to his wife, Butcher Zhang glanced at the butcher knife placed in the courtyard again, and picked it up after hesitation.

On the one hand, it is Pei Wende who he grew up with, and on the other hand, an official Taoist priest with unknown background...

Zhang Tuhu, who is bold and straightforward by nature, chooses to stand by Pei Wende without hesitation, even if it will make him lose his home for the second time and live a life of escape.

"Chu Lang!"

Seeing Butcher Zhang's thoughts at a glance, his wife could not help but stop him.

It's just that different from Zhang Tuhu's imagination, the reason why his wife stopped him was not to stop him.

"Come back early, I will wait for you at home."

Gently tidying up Butcher Zhang's clothes, his wife said so tenderly.

"Remember, you must come back."

"No matter what happens, we are family."

There was a rare silence. Butcher Zhang, who was rough by nature, thought of his two children at this moment.

Today's Zhang Tuhu is no longer single. He already has a wife and two children, and he can no longer be as self-willed and free-spirited as he was when he was young.

"I will return!"

Holding the butcher's knife tightly in his hand, Zhang Butcher assured with firm eyes.

"I'll definitely be back, I promise you!"

......................................................................................................

"really……"

As if hearing the conversation from the yard behind him, the young Taoist priest walking calmly in front raised his brows.

"I knew that the butcher couldn't be someone unknown."

As soon as he came to Zhangjia Village, the young Taoist priest noticed that Zhang Tuhu had an evil spirit that was different from ordinary people.

That is definitely not something that ordinary butchers can have, and even those veterans who have retired from the battlefield cannot possess such an amazing evil spirit.

Before he became a butcher, Zhang Tuhu was clearly a fierce general who killed many battles, and he was a "living Hades" that even the underworld would not accept.

"The surname is Chu, and they possess such an astonishing evil spirit. There are not many people who meet this condition."

Whispering softly, the young Taoist priest flashed in his mind the famous generals in the court for the past 20 years, and finally locked his target on a list of judges who died in battle.

"The former Shannanxi Jiedu Envoy - Li Jiang's powerful general, the eight hundred people who were beheaded in the 'Shannan Xijun Rebellion' were stroked, it seems that there is only one named Chu Fan?"

Relying on the practitioner's astonishing memory, the young Taoist priest quickly matched the description of signs on the list with Zhang Tuhu.

"I didn't expect that there were survivors among the eight hundred soldiers?"

The "Shannan Western Army Rebellion" that occurred ten years ago can be said to be one of the major events in recent years, apart from the separatism of feudal towns.

According to legend, when Nanzhao invaded Xichuan on a large scale, Li Jiang, the governor of Shannan Xijiedu, recruited thousands of soldiers to help.

However, in the process, because of severely withholding rewards and forcibly dismissing the old soldiers, the eight hundred brave men under his command rebelled and were beheaded on the spot.

Afterwards, the imperial court urgently dispatched Wen Zao, then Shangshu Youcheng, as the envoy of Shannan Xijiedu, and strangled the eight hundred rebellious soldiers by tricks, which barely quelled the normal rebellion.

According to subsequent investigations, it was true that Li Jiang wanted to dismiss the old soldiers and recruit new soldiers, but he himself did not withhold the [-] rewards for bravery.

The direct cause of this rebellion was the political disagreement between the supervisor Yang Shuyuan and Li Jiang.

Therefore, since Yang Shuyuan repelled Nanzhao, he deliberately spread rumors about Li Jiang in the army, which led to this rebellion that should not have happened.

"Hate and pity, there is nothing you can do."

After figuring out Zhang Tuhu's identity, the young Taoist priest shook his head and began to chant softly.

He was originally a monk, and he temporarily committed himself to the Qin Tianjian only because of his teacher's order. Naturally, he had no intention of being further involved in the strife of the court.

Therefore, no matter what Zhang Tuhu's status was before, in the eyes of the young Taoist, he is now just a butcher in Zhangjia Village.
