Chapter 200 Roots
The window beside the bed was closed. She got up and pushed it open. A cool breeze blew in from outside, and there seemed to be mountains in the distance.
Just as I was about to crawl out, I heard footsteps and crawled back into the quilt.
Many people came this time, and an old man in a Taoist robe took her pulse and said, "Evil energy has entered your body, damaging your spirit and meridians.
If you want to cure him, send him to a temple to nurture his soul for two years."
"???" Shen Duo's eyes met his and then disappeared. She found that he was a cultivator!
Don't ask how she knew, the answer is that she heard his spiritual consciousness transmit the message: "A little girl with spiritual roots, unexpectedly had her Dantian sealed in a farmer's house."
He tapped the inch position twice with his index finger and the foot position once with his index finger.
Shen Duo was shocked but pretended not to move, and listened to him continue to fool the couple, saying that her fate was dominated by Po Jun and Qi Sha, which made it difficult to support her, and if she was not sent away, the pressure on her life and family would be a disaster.
The couple did not dare to agree, and just asked the old Taoist priest to give them acupuncture and prescribe medicine.
After they all left, Shen Duo practiced his internal energy and his dantian was indeed unlocked.
After being reluctantly served for a whole day, at night, Shen Duo was accompanied by the daughter of this family in his room. She decisively pressed the girl's sleeping point, opened the window and left.
She didn't know how big the place was, so she took advantage of the darkness and her excellent eyesight to walk around the village first.
The mountain village, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has only one exit, is not big. There are 39 houses in total, most of which are thatched, living by the water.
Shen Duo hesitated for a moment, then walked out of the village along the river. After a few steps, she suddenly felt a green light enter her arms. She was startled: "Cha Cha, how did you come here?"
"It's a descendant of a fifth-level Bifang, of course it flew here." A voice came from the sky.
It’s the old Taoist priest during the day.
Cha Cha, as big as a fist, tried to get into her arms, but Shen Duo couldn't ignore it. She quickly bowed and said, "I am Shen Duo from Yufang City. I greet you, Senior. Thank you for your help."
"How do you thank me?" Taoist Qiushi is very practical. No matter how cute the child is, he won't help him for nothing.
"Uh." Shen Duo felt that although the aura of the person in front of her was the same as that of an ordinary person, he was definitely more powerful than the Jindan cultivators she had seen.
She bowed again and raised her voice high: "At your command, Senior."
"Seeing that you have understood the hint, then be my tea boy." Before he finished speaking, he rolled up the man and walked away in the clouds.
This is definitely a True Lord of the Nascent Soul. Only after he reaches the stage of forming the Nascent Soul can he fly in the sky.
Shen Duo hugged Cha Cha tightly with excitement in his eyes. She was still hesitating whether to go find the old Taoist priest, after all, he said she had spiritual roots.
Moreover, he pointed at his inch, joints and feet twice, indicating that he would come out to meet her at the second watch.
The opportunity was right in front of her, no matter whether it was good or bad, she could not afford to hesitate any longer. At worst... at worst, she could graduate early in this life.
"Senior, may I know your name?" Shen Duo asked sincerely.
Taoist Qiushi patted her rosy little face and said, "I won't accept any disciples. From now on, you can just call me Taoist Qiushi."
"It is my blessing to be able to be around the Taoist priest and be blessed with the immortal spirit. You can call me Xiao Si in the future and I will be there whenever you call." Shen Duo had never heard of Qiushi's name.
At the beginning, the Shen family school only taught some common sense to the students who had not yet been tested for spiritual power. Moreover, Yu Fangcheng belonged to the Xuanjian Sect, which had dozens of Nascent Soul disciples. She only knew that Shen Xing had worshipped Xijian Peak Qinian Zhenjun as his master.
Taoist Qiushi twirled his beard and said, "Haha, you are so smooth-talking at such a young age. Try to calm down before you come to me."
After saying this, he descended from the clouds to the Taoist temple in the mountains, and waved his hand again, saying, "Come before noon tomorrow. No one will be served after that time."
Shen Duo felt his body lighten, and after spinning in the night sky, he landed beside a well.
This
"The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful about the fire."
Such a classic night watchman's call came, how could Shen Duo not know that he had fallen into the city wall, and looked around
……
The yamen runners didn't care about that. When they saw that they refused to cooperate, they drew their knives and took them away by force.
"We are the victims, why don't we arrest the Zhao family?" Clan brother Shen Linzhu and his brothers blocked Shen Lingzhu.
The yamen runner scolded, "Several of our brothers were injured by the donkey, and Miao Sili's leg was even broken. Who else should we blame if not you?"
Shen Lingzhu walked out from behind his clan brother and said, "Who is so powerful? We are the ones who got into trouble. If that knife hadn't been thrown at us, what would have happened afterwards?
Anyone holding a knife will be taken to the lobby for confrontation, and we can go there too, but we won't be escorted there.
In this small Shun County, no one is without roots. "No matter what, we are not wrong, and we cannot be weak in our momentum.
At the end, a yamen runner recognized her and said, "Miss Shen, please don't embarrass us.
The Zhao family's son who hurt people will also be taken away. You can send a message to your family."
"Old Gu, you?"
"She is..." Lao Gu pulled over a few yamen runners and said that Shen Lingzhu was the niece of Master Shen Wu.
Everyone looked at each other. They all knew that County Magistrate Wang had sent a gift to the Shen family a few years ago.
"But we must obey the orders of the chief judge."
"Just be polite."
"alright."
A few yamen runners turned around again and spoke in a more restrained manner.
Shen Lingzhu also took this opportunity to exchange names with the elder brother who had just helped her, and asked him to take Ermao in, and then report to her uncle.
The vegetables in their baskets were their reward.
The other party had heard about Uncle Huang's deeds, so he readily agreed. He also didn't want the vegetables, after all, they were not cheap.
She and her two brothers followed the yamen runners and passed by the Zhao family's gate. The young man who had just thrown the knife had been tied up.
Miao Sili was carried on a wooden board to the clinic. When he passed Shen Lingzhu, his eyes were full of knife-like gleams.
Shen Lingzhu looked back straight. Among so many people, he was the only one who was stepped on by Ermao. Was it God's will?
Their group was escorted to the county government office, attracting many onlookers along the way.
Chang Youzhuang, who was out delivering goods, saw that it was Shen Lingzhu. He was surprised and quickly ran home to report to his grandfather.
Upon hearing this, Chang Xin didn't care about the old customers in the store. He left the store to his son and ran to the government office.
When he and his grandson Chang Youzhuang arrived at the county government office, Huang Zongqi also happened to run over. The old man grabbed his arm and asked, "Uncle, what's going on?"
“I’m not sure, but it’s not Xiao Zhuzi’s fault.
Uncle Chang, do you have a way to see someone from the county magistrate? For example, the legal advisor, or a servant. Huang Zongqi didn't believe that the person would be brought to the court for trial as soon as he was brought in, and there was no day for the trial today.
Chang Xin had been in the county for many years and had some connections, so he quickly asked someone to do the job for him.
Shen Lingzhu and the others did not go to court and were directly locked up in the side room of the Prison God Temple.
The so-called Prison God Temple is actually a house outside the ancient county prison dedicated to the prison god Xiao He.
Shen Lingzhu immediately became angry: "What does this mean?
Even if the county magistrate is not available to hear the case in the hall, there is still the fourth magistrate, Liao Dianshi, who will hear the case in the second hall.
If all else fails, we can go to the Shenming Pavilion for mediation."
All this knowledge was taught to her bit by bit by her senior sister, so that she would have a basic understanding of certain procedures when encountering problems outside.
"Miss Shen, the county magistrate and the prefect have gone on a river patrol.
As you know, some of the Boundary River is frozen over, affecting shipping and cargo, so we need to organize people to break the ice." The person who answered her was a yamen runner named Gu.
