one's door

However, Shen Wujiu also had a guess, saying: "There is another possibility. That is, this Zhang Yan not only has the ability to kill the Wu family father and son, but also has the ability to kill those bedbugs who went to help the Wu family father and son vent their anger."

"But my lord, it is certain that there have been bedbugs at the level of holy kings in the dry well of Wu's mansion recently. That Zhang Yan has such a great ability? Destroying the holy king is the ability only of those old monsters in the demon species." !?"

The people under him were taken aback by Shen Wujiu's guess, and they didn't believe it in their hearts.But he dared not say it to his face.

Shen Wujiu didn't care about the doubts of his subordinates, and he also knew that his guess was a bit outrageous.But this possibility does not exist.

"You check Zhang Yan's whereabouts, and let our people go and feel his bottom carefully first."

Chapter 202

The twice-a-year Langyuan City Lecture Martial Arts Academy competition ended in one day, and the realm of several competitions also quickly ranked among the top ten.As in previous years, many people emerged from this day's competition and found other places for themselves besides the army.

Zhang Yan's student Zhou Yun didn't win the ranking this time, there was only one round left in the ring, and he was slapped down in the second round, half of his face was swollen, and he secretly hurt himself for a long time.It also made him understand that the competition between warriors is not only about combat skills, but more about experience.And his experience is still too shallow.

But this time the fighting in the martial arts academy of Langyuan City is not the most eye-catching place, but the surprising "special features" of Zhou Yun.

In the past, there were examples of people who leapfrogged in the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm and used late stage combat skills without injury, but those were really too few, and they belonged to the talented people who appeared once in decades or hundreds of years.And Zhou Yun is obviously not this kind of person.

In fact, there is no need to use any means at all. A simple inquiry will reveal the reason why Zhou Yun was able to use leapfrog combat skills the day after tomorrow without being shocked to death by the counter-shock force of the combat skills.

So Zhou Yun's supplementary course called "The Method of Refining Skin and Flesh with Medicine" became a hot spot.Those who went directly to Zhang Yan were pushed back without exception.With a one-year time limit and two quotas, it is impossible for Zhang Yan to violate the regulations given to him by the Academy of Martial Arts.So these unwilling people came to Liu Renchuan in a push and clamor, hoping that the dean could let go of those two restrictions.

But will Liu Renchuan change his mind?Of course not.

No matter how jealous others are of "The Method of Refining Skin and Flesh" or are eager to take the risk and try it out, as the dean of the martial arts school in Langyuan City, he will definitely not ignore the possible disadvantages directly.There must be a one-year time limit, and the two quotas have already been set. Liu Renchuan has no reason to change these two points.In his opinion, it is most important to spend a year to see if there are any major hidden dangers in Zhang Yan's subject.There will be a long time to come to Japan in the future, so there is no need to rush this year.

If the way of Liu Renchuan cannot be followed, can the way of the court's sentence of Xiao Shu be followed?Naturally, I couldn't get through.Not many people even went to Xiao Shu.Because although the judges in the martial arts academy can manage most of the affairs, all matters related to the core arrangements of the martial arts academy are ignored by the judges, and Liu Renchuan needs to nod.

It's just that Xiao Shu felt the attraction brought by Zhang Yan's supplementary course.While dealing with those who came to find a way out, he also smiled wryly in his heart.

There are two reasons for Xiao Shu's wry smile.One is that he did not expect that the effect of "The Method of Refining Skin and Flesh with Medicine" would be so good, otherwise he might have asked Zhou Yun not to participate in this competition.Now that the outside world knows it, this is not good news for the other of the two students who participated in this supplementary course.After all, there was a risk of being overheard by the Huayue people across the river.

The second reason for the wry smile came from Shi Xuan, the commander of the Eastern Army.

Shi Xuan followed Xiao Shu's path and recommended Zhang Yan to be his guest teacher.Xiao Shu didn't know the purpose, but it was very clear that Shi Xuan had told him that Zhang Yan's guest teacher status should be left behind.It's not to be sure, but to be able to advance and retreat freely.That is to say, you can continue to work or you can stop teaching qualification at any time.In doing so, Xiao Shu knew very well that it was estimated that there would be some things behind Shi Xuan that required Zhang Yan to pay the price, or to prevent Zhang Yan from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge with one hand.

But now... In Xiao Shu's view, Shi Xuan's idea is probably going to fail.

Because as soon as this incident happened, let alone the method of "The Method of Refining Skin and Flesh", even if some hidden dangers were discovered a year later, as long as it was not too big, it could definitely be called "defying the sky".It is natural to have Zhang Yan's name and status in the martial arts academy.At that time, Zhang Yan will no longer be just a guest teacher, or no longer, but a "fragrant bun" who needs to be firmly tied by the martial arts academy.

In this way, even if Xiao Shu was judged by the court, he would not be able to say the suggestion of "suspending Hakka teaching", otherwise Liu Renchuan would have slapped him.There is no way to help Shi Xuan "advance and retreat freely".

It is useless to find the yard, and it is useless to find the court judge.So many people started to use their own brains.In addition, "The Method of Refining Skin and Flesh" did not cover up anything at the beginning, so it would not be too difficult to figure out what this supplementary subject actually did.As a result, some people laughed after knowing it: Tsk, isn't it just a medicinal bath!At most, it's just the ratio of some medicinal materials. I don't believe I can't figure it out!

You don't even need to go to Zhang Yan to ask for the prescription, you can find the waste yard behind the Zangfeng Building, and you can find the medicine dregs that were dumped there before.Then take it to someone who knows medicine to distinguish what each medicine is, and then take a closer look at the amount of various medicinal materials in the medicine dregs. After making a rough idea, you can find someone to try it.Even some daring ones have already started.

But no matter how courageous you are, you won't be stupid enough to just soak your whole body in it. It's okay to put a hand in and try it out.But the result is...no feeling at all.

This is just medicinal materials mixed with water... No matter how you look at it, it's not appropriate, right?Is there something missing?

Then someone cleverly boiled the medicine into soup, and replaced it with hot water according to their own knowledge.Then I stretched my hand in to try again, and this time the result came out... half an hour later, one hand was covered with red bumps.The effects of the medicines are in conflict, coupled with the erosion of heat, even the warriors are physically strong and cannot bear it.Moreover, after a few days of red bumps, the skin has to be shed and itchy.Of course, there will be no serious problems.After all, it is not a poison soup.

Death can't kill people, and they won't suffer much injuries, but it's useless!

At this point, those who are ready to do their own food and clothing can understand it.Since Professor Zhang has just put "The Method of Refining Skin and Flesh" in the open without any cover, he is not afraid of people to ponder it. He is sure that you will not be able to figure it out.

So if you want to get the benefits as soon as possible, the most direct thing is to find Zhang to teach.Even if you don't enroll in the course and become a student, it's the same to get a bucket or two of medicated baths and give them bubbles in private!Especially for those parents who have connections and whose offspring belong to the Body Tempering Realm like Zhou Yun.My mind came alive.

Zhang Yan finished the day's class with a smile in the eyes of a group of people who had been pestering him all the way, and waved Princess Qingling to leave.He didn't even ask the other party if he was secretly practicing the explosive combat skill of frontal assault.This is not easy to ask.And this in itself is definitely a rather unfamiliar path and a difficult challenge for Princess Qingling, who has always followed the path of lightness and surprise.Success or failure depends on Princess Qingling's own choice.

On the way, Zhang Yan was not pestered any more, but one could imagine that the family would not be as quiet as it is now.Just thinking about it, Zhang Yan's perception trembled violently, his face remained calm, but he thought to himself: Are you following me again?

Chapter 203

Not long after Zhang Yan returned to Langyuan City more than half a year ago, he was often followed by people.They belonged to the Wu family father and son before, and then came another wave. It is guessed that they belonged to Yang Jie, the official of Zuojun.It seems to be different now.

And it changed two dials at the same time.

One is a master.The breath and blood are obviously suppressed deliberately, almost no different from ordinary pedestrians on the road.If Zhang Yan hadn't been guarding against the ghosts in the sanctuary recently, so he would always be vigilant when he was outside, his perception would probably ignore the other party.As for this ability, Zhang Yan has never encountered it before.After careful induction, this person's cultivation base is not low, and it is estimated that he can reach the early stage of Tongqiao state.

Tongqiaojing is definitely a master-level figure in Langyuan City.City guard Zhou Cang is only in the middle stage of Tongqiao Realm.

Who is the one?Or someone from the Sheriff's Office?Or was there some other force that was targeting him?

Second, those eerie ghosts that Zhang Yan has been waiting for.They didn't go to Jiangwuyuan, where there are many fighters and the blood is so high, and they didn't go directly to Zhang Yan's house, or they felt the power of Zhang Yan's family that belonged to the three-pure spirituality, so they approached No, you can only stay outside the Zhang family.Even the place he chose was the same as the ghost baby that Zhang Yan sensed before but was run away by him, in the restaurant with a wide view.

Hiss... this is very interesting.

There are people and ghosts.Is this looking for yourself to fight against the Landlord?Zhang Yan didn't panic at all and even found it funny, and he was a little excited.

Zhang Yan is not an ascetic monk with a pure heart and asceticism. What he cultivates is the world of mortals and his original heart, and he participates in the way of the world. He is always excited about some battles that are close at hand.Especially those ghosts, it was hard for him to count them as dangerous.

In the middle stage of the Dao Dan Realm, with the "reason" buff stuffed into the mind of Huang Tianyu, and a thicker aura cultivation base, not to mention anything else, the lightning talisman alone is more than the one that was destroyed in the new house before. I don't know how powerful the ghost king was.

Of course, Zhang Yan has become more powerful, and the ghost coming from the sanctuary may not be just as strong as the ghost king last time.It will only be stronger, otherwise, wouldn't it be death?

It still needs to be arranged.Otherwise, what if you let go of your hands and feet and fight and run away?Isn't that a waste?

Entered the house.Because I was entangled for a long time by those people in the courtyard who were greedy for medicinal baths, I arrived home much later than usual.The family has already set up the dishes and chopsticks waiting for him to eat.

That night Zhang Yan didn't sleep all night, and his perception was always maximized. He could clearly feel that the two eyes were also on the Zhang family and never moved away.

The difference is that the line of sight of the martial artist who belongs to the Tongqiao state is very stable, just like the kind of stalking that Zhang Yan has experienced many times before, just stare at it, and he never thought about cutting into Zhang’s house for closer observation, or going over the wall at night to do something. What's the plan.In this case, it is basically certain that this martial artist in the Tongqiao state has no direct hostility towards Zhang Yan for the time being.Even Zhang Yan was wondering if the other party was also a member of Beijiang County Sheriff's Mansion?After all, at present, this is the only force he can think of that can send such masters over to watch him.

But those ghosts made Zhang Yan want to laugh.From time to time, he always wanted to invade Zhang's house, but every time he was driven away when he got close to the courtyard wall.He even gritted his teeth once and wanted to force his way in, but he penetrated half of the courtyard wall, and a third of his soul body was directly crushed, and an arm and a leg disappeared immediately.Only then did the ghost howl and escape.

That's what it means to "don't shed tears without seeing the coffin".If it wasn't for another eyeliner watching Zhang's house, and Zhang Yan didn't want to show his means of eating in front of others, he would have chopped the opponent half to death with a lightning talisman and then passed away.

But it's not without gains.On the contrary, it can be said that Zhang Yan's harvest from not sleeping this night is very unexpected.

Because in Zhang Yan's perception, just when the unlucky ghost insisted on rushing into the Zhang family's mansion and was crushed by Sanqing's divine thoughts to crush [-]% of its soul body, and then fled away screaming, the Tongqiao state who was observing in the dark There was obvious confusion in the martial artist's aura, so that all traces that were well hidden were forgotten at that moment.

Can that person also detect ghosts? !

Zhang Yan only squinted for a while when it was dawn.When Zhang Huiyuan outside the door asked him to go out for breakfast, and then fully turned on his perception, the Tongqiao Realm warrior who followed him had disappeared.Appears to be gone.

On the other side, Shen Wujiu, who was also busy making dossiers late at night, was yelled at by his subordinates after squinting for a while.

"Why are you back?" Shen Wujiu asked suspiciously looking at the hurried and tense subordinates in front of him.He arranged for this person to stare at Zhang Yan, and now that he came back suddenly, something might happen.

"Sir, there is a situation!"

Shen Wujiu took a sip of tea, dispelled a little sleepiness in his mind, cheered up and said, "What's the matter?"

"This subordinate was staring outside Zhang Yan's house last night, but he didn't expect to hear a scream! It seems that he suffered a big loss on the edge of Zhang Yan's courtyard wall, and then he didn't wait for his subordinates to catch up and sprinkle powder to force him to act. , the ghost has already escaped."

"Ling Xiao?! So Zhang Yan did it? Or are there really other bugs in Zhang Yan's mansion?" Shen Wujiu's drowsiness had completely disappeared.Things were moving much faster than he had thought.He originally thought that it would take a long time to follow him, and he might even need to design something to stimulate Zhang Yan in order to gain something.Who would have thought that the big fish would be hugged just after staring at it.

However, the martial artist who came back to report shook his head and said: "Although Zhang Yan's aura is not as strong as that of a martial artist, it is also long and special. I can always feel that he has never left his house, and he did not move it. And I rushed over after the Ling Xiao, and I didn't smell a second smell except for a bad smell, and I didn't find the powder that was scattered. It doesn't seem like there are any other bugs in Zhang Yan's house .”

"Huh?" This is very strange.Shen Wujiu stood up from the chair in surprise.

Didn't Zhang Yan move his hands, or did he hide bugs to help Zhang Yan?Then why did that bug escape after making a spirit whistle?Or did the stalker get it wrong?

But in the end, this thought was scattered in Shen Wujiu's mind.Because the person in front of him is the best expert at finding traces under his command, and he does not know how many credits he has made.He should not doubt the judgment of the other party.

Then there is only one possibility left.Is there some kind of trap in Zhang Yan's house that can hurt those bugs?No matter what the result is, Zhang Yan can already be sure that he is not an ordinary person, and he definitely has a good understanding of those bedbugs and the means to deal with them.

This is the first time Shen Wujiu has encountered such a person.

"Will Zhang Yan go out today?"

"Responding to my lord's words, according to the information my subordinates found yesterday, Zhang Yan will take a rest today."

Chapter 204 Contact

Compared with Yang Jie, the official of Zuojun, who has so many worries, Shen Wujiu of the special case department is much more agile.He doesn't care about how many people around Zhang Yan hinder him, and he doesn't care what Zhang Yan thinks. The only thing he has to do is to figure out what he thinks in his heart, and just find out about the bedbugs.

In this regard, the Special Cases Division enjoys the maximum power in Nanyuan.

Of course, Shen Wujiu, who is a guest teacher at the Martial Arts Academy, still needs to pay attention.That is not the same as other places in Nanyuan, where they can run rampant with special cases department.

So Shen Wujiu didn't ask someone to call Zhang Yan, but went to visit the post in a serious manner and came to the door in person.It's just that his greeting card was not handed in in advance, but someone was already waiting outside the door when he handed it in.Moreover, the accompanying several people surrounded Zhang's house, and they didn't know what to guard against.

"Nanyuan Special Case Division?" Zhang Yan was a little dazed when he received the greeting card.It was the first time he had heard of such a yamen.And the word "Nanyuan" is directly on the head, which belongs to the prefix of the country, right?

Then he carefully identified the waist badge that the other party sent over with the greeting post. The unique casting technique of the official face of Nanyuan Kingdom on it could not be faked.It shows that the Nanyuan Special Case Division is real.

"Why are you looking for me?" Although Zhang Yan was puzzled, he quickly thought of the good show last night.Maybe the Tongqiao Realm martial artist who was secretly watching is the person of this special case department?In addition, the other party clearly sensed the existence of ghosts because of the ghost whistle.In this way, the word "special case" of these special case divisions also has something to say?

In fact, Zhang Yan didn't hesitate for long, just a short while after Sister Mei came back with the greeting card, Zhang Yan walked quickly to the gate and led the visitor in himself.

The visitor claimed to be surnamed Shen, and his name was a bit strange, Wujiu.He is a master of the Hundred Refining Realm.Walking, sitting, and lying down all have a very strong posture of a soldier in the army. It is guessed that he has been in the army for a long time.

I sat down.Since it was the first time we met, we exchanged a few pleasantries as usual.After that, Shen Wujiu started to talk about the business, saying that he came here to hope that Zhang Yan would recall the grievances between Wu Yuan and his son and him before, and elaborate on where he was and what he was doing when Wu Yuan and his son died.And he also asked Zhang Yan, seemingly jokingly, how he managed to win so much money in the money shop of Wu Yuan's only son Wu Qingling.

Zhang Yan answered all these topics one by one, and didn't make any changes, just carried over what he said to Adjutant Liu Yi of the Sheriff's Mansion before.He kept a smile on his face, but felt strange in his heart.Why does the other party ask some old questions?They should have grasped these issues, right?

"Actually, I came here today to get acquainted with Professor Zhang. Hehe, to be honest, I also came out of the Lecture Academy, and I am naturally kind to Professor Zhang. Hahaha..."

As soon as the topic changed, it seemed that homework was brought up again.He even said that Zhang Yan's house was small and exquisite, and he wanted to see it, and he also said that he planned to renovate his own house like this when he went back.He also solemnly bowed his hand and thanked Zhang Yan, without giving Zhang Yan a chance to refuse.Coupled with those eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Zhang Yan understood that the other party might be looking for something in his house.

The Zhang family's house is not very big, and it is inconvenient to enter the boudoir of the younger sister Zhang Huiyuan, so I walked down after a while.

"This is the ancestor of Zhang Jiaoxi's family?" Shen Wujiu slightly blinked his eyes when he passed the shrine hut where the incense was burned, and stopped on his feet, looking at the furnishings in the room curiously, but he didn't go in hastily.A sense of awe that he couldn't explain clearly arose immediately when he saw the three portraits hanging on the wall.It seems that the treasure land will be dirty if I go in with a dusty body.So I was surprised.

"Hehe, it's not the ancestors of my family, but my three masters. Now I can't find their teachings, so I can only enshrine them at home to show my heart and respect for learning." Zhang Yan explained with a smile, while laughing Watching the subtle expression changes on Shen Wujiu's face.

conceal?Totally unnecessary.The Supreme Being of the Three Purities is unknown in the Huangtian Territory.Where do we need to cover up?Besides, Huang Tianyu cultivates martial arts, not Dao, so how can it be so easy to sense the amazing mystery emanating from the Sanqingshen's thoughts?

"Oh!? Teacher Zhang learned from three teachers?" Although Shen Wujiu heard "Master" for the first time, he could guess what it meant, and directly understood it as "teacher" or "master".

Zhang Yan naturally didn't explain, nodded and didn't say any more.

"Who are those burning?"

"Red incense, a ceremonial thing, also has the effect of incense. It can also be used to express reverence."

In the end, Shen Wujiu still didn't choose to step into the hut that he thought was weird.

After that, he said goodbye to Zhang Yan and left.

And when Zhang Yan sent the other party out, he sensed the aura that followed him yesterday, and now he was standing among Shen Wujiu's line of guards outside the door.In this way, Zhang Yan's guess was solved.It was the Nanyuan special case secretary who followed him.

But just as he was about to say goodbye, he saw a group of people walking quickly.It was Zhou Cang who hurried over after hearing the news and worrying about Zhang Yan's accident.But Zhou Cang didn't say hello to Shen Wujiu, and Shen Wujiu just glanced at Zhou Cang with a half-smile, turned and left without stopping.

"Master Zhou..."

"Professor Zhang, those people didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

"Hehe, Mr. Zhou has a heart. Please, let's talk in the room."

Back in the house again.Seeing that nothing happened to Zhang Yan, Zhou Cang was also relieved.So he explained why he was worried.

"I have dealt with these red-robed special case officers once. But not this time... They are very mysterious in Nanyuan Kingdom, and they are very capable. Usually they don't move, they don't care about things, they just stay in the The number of people in each county's sheriff's mansion is not too large, generally there are only three to fifty people in a county. But everyone's cultivation level is not low, and I have never seen anyone below the Kaiyuan state.

But once they do something, someone will suffer.But never said the reason.Last time I was in charge of helping them take care of the surrounding area.A wealthy businessman was escorted away without a trial, without a conviction, or even a case, and it is not known what happened to those people in the end.

Does Professor Zhang know why they came here? "

"I don't know. When I came here, I asked a lot about Wu Yuan and his son. After that, I went around the house. There was nothing else. It didn't look malicious. It made Master Zhou worry." Zhang Yan bowed his hands and saluted Zhou Cang's friendship.

"Hahaha, that's good. Since Professor Zhang has nothing to do, I won't bother you. The military has recently been training heavily and has been extremely busy. Let's go."

"I'll see Master Zhou off."

……

Chapter 205

After returning back, Shen Wujiu's face was always filled with strange expressions, a little unexpected, and full of doubts.

"My lord, there is no smell of bedbugs in Zhang Yan's house. And although his smell is strange, it is definitely not a warrior. We also did not find anything outside Zhang Yan's house that might be a trap."

The subordinates told the information they collected outside Zhang's house.

Then he said: "However, it is not sure whether Zhang Yan is a demon or not. It is also not sure whether he has the physique of a saint. My lord, do you want to try him secretly?"

Shen Wujiu glanced at the person who proposed, and neither nodded nor shook his head.

The so-called "try it out" is nothing more than finding someone or one of their own people in disguise to stimulate Zhang Yan and force him to use his hidden methods.In order to determine his identity and which side he belongs to.

"Try it...it's risky!" Shen Wujiu was silent for a long time before suddenly opening his mouth, without concealing hesitation in his words.

In fact, this kind of situation rarely happened to Shen Wujiu.There are also very few cases where the Special Cases Division finds it difficult to choose a means to deal with it.

According to the previous method, that is to directly brute force cracking and surrender.But this time Shen Wujiu was a little uncertain.What made him hesitate was not just Zhang Yan's different identity from those previous targets, he was a guest teacher in the martial arts academy.This identity is not only unusual in Nanyuan Country, it is also unusual for all the races in the Huangtian Territory.Xu Fengyang, the sage of martial arts, was enshrined in the Martial Arts Academy, and he talked about defending the human race with martial arts.Not to mention the Special Cases Division, it really pissed me off, the Academy of Martial Arts even refused to give Nanyuan Nation's face.

Another thing that made Shen Wujiu hesitate was Zhang Yan.
