I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice
Chapter 272: Destroying Corpses And Eradicating Traces
Ah Zao has a twisted personality, but he is not a bad person. He startled the couple, Juanniang and her husband, but didn't actually do anything to harm them. When he left, he even took the terrifying corpse of the chief constable with him.
With a "thud," he arrived in front of the hall and threw the corpse to the ground, looking at Chu Shen, who was on guard against Ah Song.
"You, with your fair and delicate appearance, can be considered a man when faced with a situation!" He praised Chu Shen, with a smile on his face.
Chu Shen subtly glanced at him and Ah Song. "You guys are not ordinary merchants, are you?" he asked.
Ah Zao positioned himself subtly, clearly forming a diagonal line with Ah Song, subtly surrounding Chu Shen. "That's right. To tell you the truth, it doesn't hurt to do so. We came to Yongzhou to accomplish something big, but the thieves are in power and want to harm the innocent. We couldn't bear it and caused quite a bit of trouble."
Chu Shen looked back and forth between the two. "Although I don't know what big thing you're trying to accomplish, I can tell that we're not enemies when dealing with those 24 scoundrels. Let's end it here, shall we?"
Ah Song said, "This big thing is quite significant. Once it's leaked, neither you nor I can bear the consequences. If you really want to put our minds at ease, do you want to lend a hand, brother?"
Ah Zao sang a duet, "Isn't that inappropriate? Even if you're a little brave, I'm afraid you don't have the courage to get involved in our affairs as a stranger. It's better to control the situation and release us together with the shop owner after everything is done."
Although they saved Juanniang's family and dealing with the aftermath of the constables was simple for them, they did need to guard against the leakage of information. They would definitely exert some control over Juanniang's family. Just like now, Ah Song had secretly set up a illusionary prohibition, blocking the sound and visual interaction inside and outside the inn.
Chu Shen could also sense their actions, but this prohibition was completely inadequate in front of him. In the realm of formations, he could be considered a "master."
However, the behavior of A Song and A Zao also showed him the possibility of resolving the problem peacefully.
"Brothers, there's no need to belittle me. I won't accept this control and restraint. I have no interest in participating in your affairs. Let's just mind our own business. You go your way, and I'll go mine. At least, let's join hands and have some trust, shall we?"
A Zao and A Song exchanged glances. They were still wary of Chu Shen's previous skills, especially his flying sword. It was clear that he had the identity of a cultivator. Even if there were restrictions in place, if both sides were to fight, it might attract the attention of the officials in Yongzhou, which was currently under martial law.
By then, they wouldn't be able to do anything, and it would be good enough if they didn't expose themselves.
"It's not impossible, but how can you make us feel at ease? You won't cause trouble for us, will you?"
Chu Shen smiled and said, "During the time you handle your affairs, I won't leave the inn. How about that?"
He didn't want to go in and out too frequently anyway. If he could find a reason to stay in the inn and wait for things to calm down, it would be great.
A Zao and A Song didn't know what he was thinking, but they also thought his suggestion was good and nodded in agreement. This could be considered an agreement between both parties, and they began to dispose of the bodies of the yamen runners.
Seeing that they seemed to want to put all these bodies into a storage bag, Chu Shen quickly said, "No need to go through all that trouble, I'll do it."
As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from the storage bag and sprinkled some powder on the wounds of each body. In no time, these bodies turned into yellow liquid, corroding even their clothes, leaving only the remaining parts composed of inorganic matter, such as bones.
However, Chu Shen took out another porcelain bottle and poured some powder on these remaining parts, instantly corroding the inorganic matter clean.
Immediately, a water-based technique condensed a large amount of clear water, rushing towards the ground, and then a fire-based technique evaporated the water, leaving no trace of the footsteps of the yamen runners who had come.
It could be said that they were experts at covering their tracks.
This time, Ah Zao and Ah Song exchanged glances, feeling a chill down their spines. Once again, they raised their weapons and pointed them at Chu Shen, asking, "What is this?"
Who was more ruthless, them or the young man in front of them?
Upon hearing their question, Chu Shen casually replied, "Don't worry, it's just a corrosive substance made from organic and inorganic materials, a little bit of waste residue from alchemy."
Similar substances to this "corpse-dissolving powder" were actually quite common in the cultivation world. Many cultivators who traveled outside would carry some, especially those who enjoyed killing for treasures.
But it seemed that these two individuals were not very familiar with this common knowledge.
However, how could they possess spiritual fluctuations comparable to the peak of Foundation Building or even the Spirit Gathering stage?
Chu Shen was puzzled in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. Since he had no intention of disrupting their "big plan," he moved past this topic and reminded them, "Although the bodies of these yamen runners have been destroyed, the loose ends of this matter have not been tied up yet.
The furniture inside the shop is relatively rough and sturdy, so a little bit of damage from smashing and smashing is not a big deal. However, there were people outside who saw the yamen runners enter the inn. Once the government officials find out that they haven't returned, they will send someone to inquire, and they will suspect that something has happened here at the inn, and you will be exposed."
Ah Zao and Ah Song looked at each other upon hearing this, realizing that they hadn't considered this problem.
"What should we do about this?"
"I... I don't know either!"
Chu Shen:
"You guys are handling 'big matters' with this level of ability? What big things can you accomplish? Hey!"
Slightly rubbing his forehead with a headache, he said, "Forget it, I'll help you guys."
He took out some paper talismans that were cut into human shapes from his storage bag, chanted a spell, and threw them. They transformed into exact replicas of those yamen runners.
Azhao and Asong were shocked, "What kind of technique is this?"
"It's an illusion combined with paper talismans, nothing extraordinary. After all, these paper figures can only be used to deceive people and can't even withstand a normal cultivator's attack."
Chu Shen explained a few words to the two "novices" and then controlled the paper figure illusions to walk out.
This was one of the various spells taught at the Langhuan Heavenly Palace. He found it interesting and learned a few tricks, intending to learn from a certain Guo Sheng to avoid disasters and misfortunes in the future. He didn't expect it to come in handy today.
Several paper figure illusions deliberately walked past a few pedestrians on the road, creating the illusion that the yamen runners had already received the tax money from the Ping'an Inn and happily left. Finally, they turned a corner at the street corner, avoiding the attention of the crowd, and transformed back into pieces of paper that fluttered to the ground. At the same time, a flame ignited and turned into ashes in the wind, leaving no trace.
Inside the inn, Azhao and Asong had already realized that the person in front of them was even more mysterious and powerful than they had expected, causing them to swallow their saliva involuntarily.
