Fox Demon Crossing
Chapter 7: Shi Jian's Defeat
"Uncle-master, Shi Shaojian's body has been eaten to pieces by wild dogs. I'm afraid he can't be resurrected using normal methods." Jin Renfeng reminded.
He could see that Qiu Sheng and Wencai had no intention of speaking at all.
……
Lin Jiu's expression changed instantly, and in the end he could only sigh.
"Junior brother, since everything has been resolved, you and your nephew should go home early." Lin Jiu said to them.
However, Qianhe said worriedly: "Brother, we originally planned to set off early tomorrow morning, but now this has happened. With the character of the eldest brother, he will never let it go like this."
"Alas! There is no other way now. Tomorrow morning I will take these two troublemakers to the eldest brother to apologize."
Wencai quickly defended himself: "Master, we didn't do anything wrong..."
Although Qiu Sheng didn't say anything, there was an obvious expression of grievance on his face. However, he didn't say it out loud like Wencai did. He knew in his heart that he and Wencai were not wrong to stop Shi Shaojian. The mistake was that they accidentally killed Shi Shaojian.
And Shi Shaojian is the only disciple of their master.
On the other side, in Renjia Town.
Shi Jian held Shi Shaojian's broken body in his arms and walked back to the inn step by step with difficulty. His eyes were full of sadness as he recalled the past.
He is the recognized chief disciple of Maoshan, and he is likely to inherit the position of the head of Maoshan in the future. His talent is second to none in Maoshan, and he has also been taught the Lightning Thunder Fist by Master Yangshen himself. In terms of cultivation achievements, only Lin Fengjiao in his generation can barely keep up with him, and he never takes other fellow disciples seriously.
However, in recent years, Lin Fengjiao's influence in Maoshan has quietly increased a lot as the president of the Tiandi Bank branch. If anyone in Maoshan can take away his position as the head, it is probably only Lin Fengjiao.
Therefore, he became more and more disgusted with Lin Jiu, and repeatedly opposed him, and even repeatedly belittled Lin Jiu in front of his fellow disciples for his poor education, in order to undermine his prestige.
But he didn't expect that this trip would cause him to lose his most valued apprentice (son).
When he was young, he traveled down the mountain and met Shi Shaojian's mother. At that time, he was young and energetic, and Shi Shaojian's mother was very beautiful, so the two of them soon fell in love like dry wood meeting fire.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. At that time, he was at a critical stage of rising in status in Maoshan, and was competing for the position of eldest senior brother. If people knew that he had broken the rules, he would no longer have the position of eldest senior brother, which he would never allow to happen.
Because the position of the eldest senior brother of Maoshan is not only the first candidate for the future leader of Maoshan, but also related to the selection of the new generation of leaders of Maoshan. Not everyone who joins the sect can take the position of the eldest senior brother.
Without strength, no one will obey you willingly.
At that time, he made an agreement with Shi Shaojian's mother that he would go to see her when he was done with his work.
However, in the end, what he saw were her remains and Shi Shaojian foraging in the garbage dump.
Now that his son has passed away, Shi Jian's inner grief has long been difficult to suppress. Looking down at Shi Shaojian's broken body, Shi Jian gritted his teeth and swore: "Shaojian, I must bring you back to life!"
After packing his luggage, he left the inn overnight.
The next morning, Lin Jiu brought his two disciples to the inn where Shi Jian was staying, but found it empty. It turned out that Shi Jian had left without even refunding the room fee last night.
"Master, I think we should just forget it. Grand Master shouldn't be so stingy. Besides, Shi Shaojian really brought it upon himself. Grand Master admitted it yesterday." Wencai muttered to the side, which made Lin Jiu laugh out of anger after hearing it.
"Wencai, stop talking!" Qiu Sheng couldn't bear it any longer and scolded, "Do you want to make the situation even more chaotic?!"
Wencai immediately pouted, lowered his head unhappily, and said no more.
"It seems that this is the only way..."
Lin Jiu finally gave up the idea of going to apologize.
However, he didn't know that Shi Jian had used evil magic in his own charity cemetery that night to turn Shi Shaojian into a corpse demon, and then made him drink the blood of several people born on the yin year, yin month, yin day and yin hour, and successfully resurrected him as a corpse demon...
For the next two days, Qianhe and Jin Renfeng stayed in Lin Jiu's charity cemetery.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
dong dong dong-
"Oh no, Uncle Jiu, something big happened in town!"
When Lin Jiu and others hurried to the town, they saw eight bodies lying in the middle of the road. After finally squeezing through the crowd, Lin Jiu squatted down and uncovered the white cloth covering the bodies. He was surprised to find that there was a talisman on the forehead of the bodies and two bloody holes on the neck.
He looked at them for a while and found that he had no idea what these spells meant, but he knew they were definitely not good.
Jin Renfeng didn't recognize it either, but he concluded that it was done by his master uncle Shi Jian.
At this time, Wencai was so frightened that his face turned pale. He pointed outside the crowd and stammered, "Master...Master...Master, please...look quickly, that, that..."
"what?"
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger.
Except for Jin Renfeng, everyone else was stunned.
Qiu Sheng lost his voice and said, "Shi Shaojian?!"
The person who was already dead now appeared on the street in broad daylight.
"Chase!"
Lin Jiu growled.
Everyone quickly rushed out of the crowd. Shi Shaojian heard the noise behind him, turned around and saw Lin Jiu and others, then immediately fled out of the town.
Jin Renfeng shook his wrist and shot out a copper coin.
whoosh-
The copper coin hit Shi Shaojian's back of the head accurately.
"what!"
Shi Shaojian's body staggered forward and he turned his head to see that he was about to be caught. He found that there was no way to escape on the main road, so he quickly went into an alley nearby.
He turned left and right and in the blink of an eye he had shaken off the pursuers.
He realized that the situation was serious. Shi Jian did not allow him to leave the charity cemetery. As soon as he left, Shi Shaojian could not stand the loneliness and ran out. He did not dare to go to the small town governed by Shi Jian, so he chose this place nearby.
I didn't expect to be so unlucky to run into Lin Jiu and the others.
Qiu Sheng was already panting heavily after failing to catch up with Shi Shaojian. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve and asked his master, "Master, how did Shi Shaojian come back to life?"
Lin Jiu looked grim, picked up the copper coin covered with green slime on the ground, and replied: "Oh no, I just calculated that the previous dead people were all born in Yin years, Yin months, Yin days and Yin hours. Add to that the spells painted on their heads, I didn't quite understand it before, but now seeing the resurrected Shi Shaojian, I understand that he has turned into a corpse demon."
"Master, what is a corpse demon?"
"It's a corpse demon. Those people just now probably died at his hands. If he wants to maintain his current state, he must continue to kill people and suck their blood. This way, things will become tricky."
Jin Renfeng interrupted and said, "Uncle Lin, there is one more thing you didn't say. Corpse demons are not something you can just find casually. They must be made with the help of evil magic. I think it must be the work of Master Uncle."
"Brother, we can't hesitate any longer! The eldest senior brother of Maoshan actually practices this evil magic that harms the world. We must go and find him to argue!" Qianhe said angrily.
……
After returning to the charity cemetery, they took their equipment and immediately set off for the neighboring town.
It’s just a pity that it was daytime at this time, otherwise Jin Renfeng could use the Five Ghosts Moving Technique to get to Shi Shaojian in advance and intercept him.
About half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
Only then did Jin Renfeng realize that Shi Jian's charity cemetery was so close to Lin Jiu's charity cemetery.
"Lin Fengjiao!"
Shi Jian pushed the door open and walked out. Seeing the fully armed group, he immediately asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Lin Jiu replied: "Big Brother, where is Shi Shaojian?"
"Shao Jian?" Shi Jian frowned and replied, "I burned him to death a long time ago."
"Burned?"
No one believed what he said, after all, they had all seen Shi Shaojian appear with their own eyes.
The compass in Lin Jiu's hand was spinning, and he became more certain of his judgment. He said, "He's inside."
"Nephew, you take Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai in to catch Shi Shaojian who has turned into a corpse demon. Qian He and I will help you hold him back!"
Jin Renfeng nodded, avoided Shi Jian, and rushed straight into the charity cemetery.
Shi Jian tried to stop it, but was blocked by Lin Jiu and Qian He.
"Lin Jiu, Qianhe, do you still regard me, your senior brother, as important?!" Shi Jian asked angrily.
Lin Jiu responded: "Big Brother, we have already informed the headmaster. In order to satisfy your own selfish desires, you refined the dead Shi Shaojian into a corpse demon, and in order to feed it, you did not hesitate to kill people and bleed them. Big Brother, you have already embarked on an evil path, so you'd better surrender."
"You all should die!"
Hearing that the sect leader had learned about this, Shi Jian panicked and, in a rage, he swung his fists and used the Lightning Thunder Fist. Lin Jiu and Qian He each held a dust whisk and waved it gently to disperse the lightning.
The floating dust in Lin Jiu's hand was left to him by his deceased master; while the floating dust in Qianhe's hand was the one owned by Jin Renfeng, which originated from the ancestor Yangshen. The power of these two floating dusts is stronger than the other.
Lin Jiu's own skills are not weak, and with Qianhe's tacit cooperation, even if he cannot take down Shi Jian immediately, he can at least delay his actions temporarily.
"Junior brother, this place is so big, how are we supposed to find it?"
Wencai looked around, and Qiu Sheng suggested, "Why don't we three split up and look for it?"
"No, I have a solution."
Jin Renfeng waved his hands. He didn't expect Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai to be of much help. He just hoped that they wouldn't hold him back.
After thinking about it, Jin Renfeng took out a yellow talisman, dipped a little of Shi Shaojian's blood in it, and quickly folded the talisman repeatedly with both hands. After a while, an exquisite little paper crane appeared in his hand.
"Paper Crane Tracking, Go!"
In an instant, the paper crane seemed to come alive, flapping its wings in Jin Renfeng's palm, pausing briefly in the air, and then flew in one direction.
"Found it, let's chase it!"
The three followed behind the paper crane, and Wencai smiled and praised: "Senior brother, junior brother you are so awesome."
Qiu Sheng muttered with envy, "I've always wanted to learn the paper crane tracking technique, but my master refused to teach me."
Finally, the paper crane led them to a side room, but after entering the room, they did not find Shi Shaojian.
Paper cranes kept circling and flying around the house.
"Junior brother, there is nothing in here. Is your paper crane malfunctioning?"
Jin Renfeng ignored Wencai, but carefully observed the left and right sides of the room and said, "It should be correct. Let's look for any mechanisms or secret doors in the room."
So the three of them began to search through the drawers and cabinets in the room.
Wencai looked around and accidentally saw the vase on the cabinet, which reminded him of the fact that vases are often used as mechanical devices in stories.
Just turn the vase and the secret door will open.
The more I think about it, the more possible it becomes.
Just as he was about to try, Qiu Sheng suddenly shouted, "Come here quickly, I found a secret door!"
