The bloody man was the soul of Tian Huaiyi. He thanked his teacher and said that he had fulfilled his last wish after failing to save Shen Yusheng. Although he was deeply reluctant to give up, he was pulled by the power of the netherworld and dragged to the underworld.

"Huaiyi!"

Fu Leisheng yelled and stood up suddenly. He looked around and saw that there was no wind around him and there was no bloody Tian Huaiyi. He thought he had fallen asleep while reading.

After all, Master's books are very boring.

"I think about it every day and dream about it at night. I am always worried that Huaiyi will betray Shen Yusheng for the sake of a high official and a good salary."

He secretly laughed at himself. When Tian Huaiyi was under his tutelage, he was the most naughty and mischievous student, causing him the most headaches. He did not study hard in school and always liked to play with the hair of the female student in front of him. This made the female student burst into tears.

He called his parents and beat Tian Huaiyi.

When practicing spells, I don't practice well either. I hammer here and there, and spend three days fishing and two days drying nets.

But he is very smart and can learn everything quickly. Once he learns it, it is difficult to forget it and he can draw inferences from one example.

Later, Tian Huaiyi passed the scholar examination and received the divine fetus from God. Because it was a third-grade Dou Kuei divine fetus, it was already regarded as a great divine fetus in the county. He was worried that someone would come to snatch it away, so he guarded Tian Huaiyi day and night.

At that time, Chen Shi's divine fetus was poached, causing a commotion. Fu Leisheng was also frightened, and as expected, several groups of people came to snatch the divine fetus.

He worked hard to force the enemy back and save Tian Huaiyi. Because of this incident, the relationship between teachers and students was very good, as close as father and son.

Later, Tian Huaiyi passed the examination and went to other places. Then he heard that he had gone to the garrison and served in the army for many years. When he came back, he changed from a naughty and troublesome boy to a calm official.

The changes were so big that he couldn't help but marvel.

What he was most worried about was that Tian Huaiyi would enter the officialdom and become so dyed that he would not even be able to recognize him. Therefore, after Shen Yusheng got the Wenchang divine fetus this time, he gave many instructions, lest Tian Huaiyi would no longer be the righteous person he was. young man.

"I think too much." He breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he saw Chen Shi holding out his hand to protect the lamp, and the black dog outside the door was still barking, and he couldn't help but be startled.

He clearly remembered that Chen Shi was dozing off and he was reading a book. Why was it that he was asleep and Chen Shi was awake?

"Mr. Fu, you just fell asleep."

Chen Shi's voice was a little low. He hesitated and said, "Senior Brother Tian came here and entrusted you with a dream. I saw that he was bleeding, so I didn't stop him. Mr. Fu, the county government... something might have happened."

Fu Leisheng's mind was pounding, and his body was shaking. He hurriedly held the desk with both hands, calmed down, and wanted to speak. As soon as the words reached his throat, two lines of hot tears rolled down first.

He raised his hand and wiped it, but the tears grew more and more.

He thought that he was very strong. After teaching Confucianism for so many years, his Taoist heart had long been as solid as a rock, and he would be able to endure it, but he just couldn't.

The tears couldn't help but flow out.

"I……"

He choked and clenched his fists to support his body, but he still couldn't stop the tears in his eyes.

"Chen Shi, please leave me alone for a while..." he said with difficulty.

Chen Shi stood up silently and walked out of the lecture hall. Looking back, he saw Fu Leisheng lying on the table, his body twitching constantly.

"Huaiyi, if you can't beat me, you can run away! Didn't I teach you?"

He burst into tears and scolded Tian Huaiyi for not knowing how to adapt.

"You leave Shen Yusheng and run away! They only want Shen Yusheng, not your life. You are an official of the imperial court and the examiner of Xinxiang County. They will not take your life unless it is absolutely necessary!"

"Run away! Shen Yusheng is my student, and you are my student too! Why don't you run away? You are so stupid!"

…

Chen Shi sat next to Hei Guo, hugging the big dog and looking at the night sky in the county town.

The bright moon is in the sky, and you can see clearly.

"Who said there are no evil spirits in the county? There are evil spirits in people's hearts." He whispered.

I don't know how much time passed, but Fu Leisheng walked out of the lecture hall. His eyes were red and the bags under his eyes were swollen. He was holding an oil lamp in his hand and his voice was a little hoarse. He said softly: "Chen Shi, go to bed early. We have to release the results tomorrow."

Chen Shi responded and looked at him without moving.

Fu Leisheng walked out with the lantern in his hand. When passing through the bamboo forest, he broke off a piece of bamboo pole and used it as a staff to walk out.

Chen Shi followed him, and the scapegoat followed Chen Shi.

Fu Leisheng stopped: "Chen Shi, go back. You have nothing to do here."

Chen Shi shook his head and said: "I stay alone in the academy, worried that someone will kill me to get the divine fetus."

Fu Leisheng said nothing more and continued to walk forward.

Chen Shi and Heiguo followed him and arrived at the county government office soon.

The gate of the county government office was open, and it was dark inside. Fu Leisheng walked into the county government office holding a lamp on a bamboo pole.

There was silence inside.

Chen Shi suddenly felt something sticky under his feet. When he raised his feet and looked at them, he saw blood on them.

He looked towards the ground and saw a pool of blood.

He said nothing because he had already seen Tian Huaiyi's body lying in a pool of blood.

Fu Leisheng put the lamp aside and raised his hand, shaking uncontrollably, wanting to touch his student's face.

Tian Huaiyi's face was pale, his eyes were staring, and his pupils were tilted to one side.

Fu Lei clenched his fists tightly and followed his gaze. Shen Yusheng was sitting on a chair not far away, facing them, staring with fear in his eyes.

Fu Leisheng stood up and came to the boy with a childish face. He did not feel any signs of anger on the student.

He touched the back of Shen Yusheng's head and found that his skull had been opened.

There was blood all over his hands.

The corner of Fu Leisheng's mouth moved, as if he was crying but not crying, but he held it back, using a clean palm to close his eyes for Shen Yusheng.

He turned around and looked at the wounds on Tian Huaiyi's body.

Corpses cannot speak, but they can leave a lot of useful information.

What spells the opponent used, what realm the opponent was in, what kind of golden elixir the opponent had, and even the Yuanying Yuanshen would all leave clues on the corpse.

Chen Shi was looking at the Ten Thousand Soul Flags enshrined in the county government office.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner is a magic weapon, and the souls it contains are often the souls of monks. Only the souls of people who have committed capital crimes are eligible to enter the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

This treasure is so powerful that it can guard a city so that evil spirits dare not come even half a step closer. It can also resist powerful enemies, allowing the county magistrate to fight against masters in the realm of gods!

This Ten Thousand Souls Flag is still on the altar table at this moment, without any fluctuation in power.

Tian Huaiyi seemed to have died in the opponent's hands before he had time to use the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Chen Shi frowned slightly. Tian Huaiyi's strength was definitely not weak. He had lived in the military all year round and was in a dangerous place like the Border Guard Station. His actual combat experience must be extremely amazing. It was impossible for him to die before he could even use the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

In the opponent's hands!

Even if the opponent has cultivated into a soul, he can still activate the Ten Thousand Soul Flags to fight against him!

"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was used once."

Fu Leisheng's voice came, "But the user is not Huaiyi."

Chen Shi was slightly startled and came to Tian Huaiyi's body. The wounds on Tian Huaiyi's body were not ordinary wounds, but bruise-colored wounds. The blood in the wounds had coagulated and they were cold to the touch, unlike those of a newly deceased person.

Chen Shi thought of the blue ghost hand on his chest, and his heart moved slightly: "This is an injury caused by a resentful ghost!"

"It was the injury caused by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner."

Fu Leisheng's eyes fell on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and said, "The resentful spirit ghosts in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner were originally very strong, and after long-term sacrifices, they became even stronger. But Huaiyi did not have time to sacrifice this treasure, and the treasure was taken by the opponent.

Prompt."

Chen Shi was stunned, was he prompted by the other party?

Tian Huaiyi holds the Ten Thousand Souls Flag. Why is the Ten Thousand Souls Flag activated by the opponent?

Fu Leisheng did not answer, but looked into the darkness outside, his voice low and hoarse: "The county government office should always be guarded by government officials, but the government officials on duty are not here, and there was a fight in the government office, but no government officials came to check."

The only people who can mobilize the Ten Thousand Soul Banners and at the same time stop the government officials from doing anything rashly are the county magistrate and the county magistrate.

However, the Xinxiang County Magistrate was dead, and the County Magistrate Zheng Shiyun was far less powerful than Tian Huaiyi, so it was impossible to kill Tian Huaiyi so cleanly.

There are also many masters in Xinxiang County, who may be hiding in the realm of gods. However, Tian Huaiyi is the chief examiner of the county examination in Xinxiang County. His official position is not high, but he is an official of the imperial court. The masters in the county will never dare to risk being punished by the imperial court.

risk and kill him.

"So, it can only be outsiders."

Chen Shi said, "Among the foreigners in recent days, the most powerful ones are probably the Li family in Quanzhou. Governor Li Xiaozheng passed through Xinxiang County."

Fu Leisheng's eyes twitched, he picked up the lamp, turned around and walked out, saying: "Governor Li rushed to the provincial capital yesterday and took office. He was not in Xinxiang County. Chen Shi, you don't have to ask about this matter."

Chen Shi didn't say anything and still followed him.

Fu Leisheng knocked on the door of the coffin shop, walked in, and said to the shopkeeper: "Two coffins, the quality should be better."

The shopkeeper of the coffin shop was taken aback and asked him to come in quickly, saying, "Mr. Fu, what happened?"

"nothing."
