Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 67: Mountain People Don’t Care About Common Sense
"Master Advisor Chu, Mr. Advisor, Brother Chu, Brother Chu!"

Fang Jun stood outside the car, tapping on the window slowly and quietly, "Wake up."

Chu Tianshu opened his eyes and turned to look out the window: "Are we there yet?"

"We've been here a while."

Fang Jun said, "He said the house was messy, so he went back to clean it up first. I think you haven't slept since you got off the plane, so I'll let you sleep a little longer in the car."

Chu Tianshu opened the car door and found that this place looked like a fishing village.

Not far from the cement road is a gravel field, and there are many houses converted from containers on the roadside.

"I'm sorry."

Yin Fengxin opened the door and said, "A few years ago, my family rented a government-subsidized house, but later I found a job and had to move out."

"Compared to other things, this container house is pretty good. I'll live here for now."

The container itself is not small.

But you need to put a bed, a folding table, and a wooden box with a clothesline on it to store and hang clothes.

There is also a gas stove and tank in the corner.

When you walk into a house like this, you have to be very careful. If you move a little too much, you might bump into something.

There were a few nails under the window, on which hung a portrait of a middle-aged woman, and a small incense burner was fixed with three nails.

"This is my mother."

Yin Fengxin took out a pack of incense sticks from the bedside, lit three of them with a lighter, bowed three times, and then inserted them into the incense burner.

Fang Jun said bluntly: "This place you live in is definitely not suitable for recuperation. You should move to another place for the time being."

Chu Tianshu observed carefully in the room for a while.

"You said you came home one day and slept very soundly, but when you woke up, you felt full of energy."

Chu Tianshu pointed to the bed and said, "That day, you slept here, right?"

Yin Fengxin nodded.

Fang Jun looked at Chu Tianshu and remembered what Chu Tianshu had told him. It was extremely unlikely that Yin Fengxin could remain sober while being so deeply entangled with the evil spirit.

Is there something special in this room?
But the wind and water here are calm, and apart from Yin Fengxin's body, there is nothing unusual felt anywhere else.

"Do you recognize your bed?"

Chu Tianshu said with a smile, "Don't feel uncomfortable if you move to another place."

"We'll be staying for at least ten days this time. It doesn't look like your place is particularly safe. If you have anything important, you'd better take it with you."

Yin Fengxin looked at his mother's portrait.

This is very important to him, but no one would steal such a thing.

He thought about it and pulled out a small box from under the bed.

In the box there was an old-fashioned cosmetic box, a longevity lock, a lucky money string made of several silver dollars and copper coins for children to wear, and a scroll.

"If I were to talk about the more important things, these are it. Although they're not worth a lot of money, they were all left to me by my mother. Huh?"

Yin Fengxin rummaged through the box in surprise. "Strange, there was a piece of jade here, how come it's gone?"

He searched everywhere but couldn't find it, so he angrily took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Dad, did you take the jade my mom left behind?"

"It's not you?"

"Okay, stop staying with your coworkers lately. Come back and live here. Our company has a welfare event, and I'm going to live away from home for a while."

After Yin Fengxin hung up the phone, he felt a little dejected.

Fang Jun didn't say anything and handed him two pieces of chewing gum.

"Thank you."

Yin Fengxin took the chewing gum and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. My parents used to run a shoe business for a while, and our family was quite well-off."

"Later, I don't know how my dad ended up in the casino and was in debt. He sold everything valuable in the house, and even this little thing was almost sold by him."

Yin Fengxin sat on the ground, pressing his stomach. He felt like he was under a pressure that he could no longer bear and had to find someone to talk to.

Chu Tianshu looked at him and thought of something in his mind.

Yin Fengxin did maintain a clear mind. So, as a sober person, wouldn't he know that it was abnormal for him to drink so much pure milk every day?
There is also a sudden surge in sexual impulses.

Maybe he guessed something, but he didn't dare go to the hospital for a check-up and worked overtime like crazy.

He only went along with it after others and even his leaders insisted that he check.

So, when he came out of the building, he did not ask about the physical examination report like normal people who went for a physical examination.

"Especially that piece of jade."

Yin Fengxin picked up the scroll in the box and said, "My mother told me that she bought the jade and the painting together when she was pregnant."

"The seller said it was a family heirloom from the Ming Dynasty, but the paper used for this painting looks new and doesn't look antique at all."

"My mother mainly liked the jade and used the painting as a finishing touch."

"She likes to say that men wear jade and women wear silver. When you find a good jade you like during pregnancy, it's like it was specially prepared for the child."

"My father's debt was exposed at the time, and when I tried to take the jade, my mother beat me up and put the jade around my neck."

"For several years, my mother paid for my education while forcing my father to quit gambling."

"When my mother was critically ill, she held my hand and told me to work hard to earn money and not to have any bad thoughts. She also told me to get married and have a family so that I would have someone to rely on when I got old."

Yin Fengxin said this with a self-deprecating laugh. "But when I joined the company, I had to wear both my work badge and the jade around my neck. The jade was also quite large, and my boss said it was too conspicuous. I had no choice but to leave the jade at home."

Fang Jun comforted him, "Maybe that piece of jade really saved your life."

Chu Tianshu looked at the box and said, "Can you lend me this painting?"

Yin Fengxin handed over the scroll, then put the chewing gum into his mouth and chewed it intermittently, looking like he was in a daze.

Chu Tianshu untied the ties on the painting and unfolded it carefully to take a look.

This drawing paper is indeed quite strong, unlike the old ancient drawing paper that most people have in mind.

The painting shows a clump of grass and an old man leaning on a wooden stick, bending over to look at the grass.

The old man's expression is lifelike, and when he looks at the plants and trees, it seems as if he is looking at a treasure house that is inexhaustible and will benefit future generations.

A blade of grass is a rare treasure.

"really!"

Chu Tianshu thought to himself, "This outfit is the same as the person I saw in my dream."

The whole picture is very simple. Apart from the old man and a clump of grass, there is only a red seal in the lower right corner.

"By the lake, the mountains, and the people."

Chu Tianshu recognized these four words and an idea flashed in his mind.

"The hermit by the lake... Li Shizhen?!"

Fang Jun heard this and looked over curiously.

"Are you saying that the person in this portrait is Li Shizhen?"

Fang Jun asked, "The Li Shizhen who wrote the Compendium of Materia Medica?"

Chu Tianshu nodded and said, "It's very likely that Binhu Shanren is Li Shizhen's nickname."

There were many things going on in his mind.

In fact, Li Shizhen not only wrote "Compendium of Materia Medica", but also wrote "Investigation of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians", "Investigation of the Life Gate", "Difficulties of the Three Burners", "On the Heavenly Puppet" and so on.

There is also a book called "Diagram of the Five Internal Organs", but most of it has been lost.

The leader of the Longhua Sect was active during the Wanli period, and Li Shizhen was also in that era.

If what the person selling the painting said was true, this painting and the Longhua Kidney Jade were both heirlooms in his family.

So, is there any connection between Li Shizhen and Longhua Sect?
Considering what Li Shizhen said in the dream, it is estimated that there will not be any good relationship between the two parties.

Fang Jun also thought of this, took out his cell phone, typed quickly, and showed it to Chu Tianshu.

"If this painting truly has a special origin, could it contain a method to subdue the evil spirits of the Longhua Sect?"

'Then he can be saved.'

Chu Tianshu nodded slightly and used his mental power to see if the portrait would react.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his mental power touched the portrait, it disappeared without a trace, like a drop in the ocean.

Chu Tianshu simply infused his mental power into it. After more than ten seconds, the speed at which the portrait absorbed the energy did not change at all.

A thin piece of drawing paper is like a bottomless pit.

Chu Tianshu frowned and mouthed "help" to Fang Jun.

Fang Jun also released his telekinesis and threw it towards the drawing paper.

In Chu Tianshu's vision, his mental power spread out from his fingertips, like a light red haze, and it seemed to be of very good quality.

Unexpectedly, this mental power fell on the surface of the portrait and simply slid away without penetrating into it at all.

Fang Jun raised his fingers, controlled the mental power to fall again, slid open again, and typed again.

"Perhaps you are a healer, and this painting only recognizes your kind of telekinesis, or perhaps it is because you first injected telekinesis into it that it rejects others, or more likely it is both."

"You said he was able to suppress the evil spirit, was it because of this painting?"

Chu Tianshu shook his head at this time.

This painting has been covered in dust for a long time and has no response from the outside world.

In other words, Yin Fengxin really relied on his own will to withstand the influence of the evil spirit and even distorted the evil spirit's desires.

He is a person who has died suddenly.

His will is like a candle in the wind, like a strand of hair.

It's a matter of life and death.

But he held on.

"How can there be such an honest person?"

Chu Tianshu whispered, "Is it because of mother's last words? Even in this situation, you still force yourself to go to work and make money normally."

Fang Jun lamented, "It's a pity that honest people can't make much money."

"Humph!"

Chu Tianshu was very disgusted with this kind of "common sense".

"I thought back then that if I had extra money, I would open a pharmacy. Having a business around me would give me peace of mind."

"Just watch! Not only will I separate him from the evil spirit, but I'll also help people like him do business and achieve great things in the future!"
