The villain's daily corpse collection
Chapter 34: First Arrival
The person who was questioning him was the leader of the detectives who had just arrested the wanted criminal.
Huo Feng nodded politely: "Yes, we are going to Fangqiu, Brother Captain, you are investigating a case across regions."
The captain of the police said carelessly: "That's right! Those thieves ran so fast that I caught them before they left Yangdu!"
He walked to the front of the boat and looked. "That's Fang Qiu in front of us. Judging from your attire, you must be a foreigner. When you get to Fang Qiu, don't be polite to me, your elder brother. Bring your wife and come to my house as a guest! Apart from anything else, my wife's cooking is really amazing, and I've been brewing wine for half a year. You're in for a treat."
The captain of the police was outspoken and spoke without hesitation.
Lady?
Huo Feng was sweating profusely for a moment. Wang Wei walked forward and flicked his whisk, and the other party was suddenly stunned when he saw it.
The captain was a little embarrassed: "So it's the immortal! Sorry, sorry, I am rude."
Wang Wei smiled and said, "It's okay. I am traveling with my disciples down the mountain. We passed by your place and planned to take a look around. Sorry to bother you."
The head constable clasped his fists and said, "I understand, I understand. This time, I, Xiang Jiu, owe you a favor. If the immortal encounters any problems in Fangqiu, come to the inspection office and report my name. I will definitely help you!" Wang Wei nodded in thanks.
Huo Feng: "Okay, big brother, we will definitely visit you if we have the chance."
The two of them bowed with the sect's hand gesture as a farewell.
"Master, actually, we don't need to be too restrained when communicating with mortals. Maybe we can dig up other clues." Huo Feng suggested in a low voice when he saw Wang Wei's tense socializing.
"I am now a Xuanmen monk, not a god anymore." Wang Wei said silently, "Imitating being a mortal is also a matter of life and death. I must do my best."
At this moment, the whole passenger boat began to sway crookedly, and the sound of signal horns and gears turning was loud, indicating that we had arrived at the destination.
"We have arrived at Fangqiu Station. Please line up to get off the boat. Welcome aboard the Gengwu passenger boat. This boat will be officially retired from service starting today. It has been in service for 25 years. This is the last boat. Landed safely!" The foreman of the passenger boat came out to speak. He was also the person who drove the passenger boat.
“Every generation has its own memories.”
"That's right. I take this train every March to visit my parents. It's really fast. It only takes three hours to get there. I've been taking this train back and forth for more than ten years!"
The passengers were moved by the captain's speech and applauded in tribute. The noisy crowd finally reached a consensus.
"I remember that there was a passenger boat that used a suona as the instrument to announce the arrival of a station. When the music started, everyone thought someone had suddenly passed away." Huo Feng shared a funny story from the past.
"I've heard of that musical instrument. It comes from the mortal world and is also very famous in the heavenly world. Unfortunately, I haven't heard it yet." I was too busy in the past and had no time to appreciate music.
"Suona is played at weddings and funerals. It is common for mortals to start families, build careers, grow old, get sick and die. This time when I enter the mortal world, Master will have the opportunity to listen to it."
As the two talked, they slowly followed the flow of passengers out of the closed passenger boat.
Wang was puzzled and asked, "For me, a mortal life is like the snap of a finger. I am born in the morning and die in the evening. It is so short, why is it that... it is so endless?"
Huo Feng seemed to be thinking: "Sometimes I feel that no matter how long life is, what matters is experience and understanding. A few decades is enough to experience a lot."
Wang Wei smiled and said, "If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening. What about you? Have you found your truth in all these years of being a god?"
"..."
"Master, look at the Fangqiu City in front of us. Does it look like a city growing out of a mountain?" Huo Feng avoided the topic and followed the crowd towards the city gate.
The passenger boat finally stopped at a high place, and looking into the distance one could see part of the city.
Fangqiu is located at an extremely high terrain, with mountains winding and stretching beneath the entire city.
The city is long and narrow, so there are eight gates in the whole city, two of which are main gates and the others are side gates. There is no moat outside the city wall, only hilly slopes, deep mountains and forests, and a strong natural atmosphere. When there is no sunlight, it is always shrouded in smoke, which is quite mysterious.
It was already past noon, and the afterglow of the setting sun was about to cover the entire earth. For some reason, Fangqiu City had a crystal clear beauty.
This is a scene that cannot be seen in heaven, and it will give you a sense of wonder.
In the heavens, if you see some strange celestial phenomena, you will know which god is passing through here. Those dazzling and exaggerated spectacles are often annoying. There are also those who fish in troubled waters and unintentionally make some "beautiful" mistakes, which often require other gods to clean up the mess.
Wang Wei: "At this time, Emperor Jun and his three-legged chicken are ready to go off duty."
Huo Feng: “Chicken?” He couldn’t help laughing when he thought of the majestic three-legged bird being called that.
Huo Feng stopped and said, "Master, why did you come to the mortal world? Seeing that you know so much about the duties of the gods in heaven, you must have served in heaven for a long time, but I have never seen you before."
"With my position, I don't need to be on duty in person. I'm either out on field duty or doing things at home, leaving small matters to my subordinates. Of course, you won't see me."
Words that were half true and half false were the hardest to tell, because she had already prepared her lies. "Speaking of why I came to the mortal world, I came down to do my job and met you, a little god in trouble. You have a great power that does not belong to you, and I can't just stand by and watch. If there is really trouble, it will be a bad ending for the heaven."
Huo Feng probed: "I feel that Master's strength should be similar to those gods?" His weird temperament is also similar.
Wang Wei asked back: “What do you think?” There are only a few gods in heaven, and if he continued to guess, they would probably turn against him.
Huo Feng continued to test: "Master's magical power is unfathomable, he must be one of the Nine Divine Lords!"
Wang Wei refuted: "I am not those guys! However," she changed the subject, "Since we are here, we should make the best of it. It doesn't matter what your identity is in the mortal world. Let's solve the problem of the power in your body first."
After going around in circles and getting nothing out of his question, Huo Feng still didn't give up.
There were countless people coming here from Sifeng Wharf just now, and there was an endless stream of vehicles and horses coming here from other places.
Caravans, escort agencies, and foreigners were all queuing outside the huge city gate, waiting to enter the city. The soldiers guarding the city in front were comparing the portraits of wanted criminals one by one...
With the sky covered by red clouds and the sound of people, everything is so——
“It’s thriving.”
A word that had never appeared before suddenly popped up in Wang Wei's mind. At least at this moment, she did not hate the hustle and bustle.
She tilted her head and listened attentively. In the long queue, many people were talking excitedly.
"Do you know? The Jade Banquet held by Fang Qiu recently is said to be so hard to get a seat. Many wealthy families spend a fortune but still may not be able to get in!" A man dressed as a scholar talked about the recent strange news.
The purple-clothed young man next to him said with disdain: "Rich people are so easy to deceive. They don't even consider their own moral character. They only know how to spend money on food. No matter how good the things are, they are useless if they go into the dog's stomach."
The rugged bearded man on the right retorted, "Hey, Brother Su, you can't say that. There's a saying that goes 'Climb Kunlun and eat jade essence, you will live as long as the heaven and earth, and shine as brightly as the sun and the moon.' Ancient people's poems mentioned that this method can help you achieve immortality, and later generations have famous doctors writing books about it. Even the most deceptive things can come true."
"It makes sense!"
The scholar who spoke first agreed. He whispered, "What's more, our emperor eats a lot of jade, and the trend came from the Imperial Capital. If the emperor says it's good, how can others not pursue it? Moreover, I heard that a considerable portion of the Shi family's Xianshan jade was tributed to the court."
"Brother Shen, you are amazing. You are so well-informed!" the bearded man said in surprise.
Scholar Shen waved his hand and said, "I have a relative in Fangqiu, and I came here to seek refuge with her. It's too expensive to prepare for the imperial examination in Yangyue. The land there is very expensive, and even the temples charge for accommodation. I stayed there for two years without passing the exam. If I hadn't met you, I would have wanted to work and study part-time. By the way, what did you do after you stopped taking the exam? Did you encounter any opportunities?"
The two looked at each other and smiled awkwardly: "We don't have much chance, so we just come here to try our luck."
"Could it be that - Brother Su and Brother Zhou, you are here to gamble on stones?" Shusheng Shen looked at them in disbelief.
Sure enough, the two nodded in agreement.
"You guys, this..." Shusheng Shen found it hard to believe that his former classmate had developed such a bad habit.
"Do you know that nine out of ten gambling games are frauds? Do you know anything about jade? You didn't know anything except studying before. If you can get lucky, what are other experts?"
"Shen Yuan, I don't like what you said. We are well prepared! Just wait and see. When we two brothers become rich, you can just cry while holding those pedantic books of yours!" Zhou Yong blew his beard and pulled Su Lie in purple to switch to another team.
"Everyone knows that His Majesty has been deceived, but they don't realize that their actions are also part of the deception. All the books of sages have been read by dogs!"
Shen Yuan could not believe that they would even disregard their friendship for the sake of gambling on stones. In anger, he kicked a medium-sized stone hard and flew to the ground.
The stone rolled due to the uneven terrain, faster and faster. It bounced through a raised ground and rushed towards the crowd, about to hit a girl in the team!
Shen Yuan was shocked and wanted to remind him, but it was too late...
Ok?
The next moment, Wang Wei, who had just passed by, grabbed the stone and held it firmly in his hand. Before the girl and her parents could react, the crisis was easily resolved.
What was going on? Why did she catch the stone subconsciously?
She stood there in a daze, without any reaction for a moment. She heard a faint voice beside her ear, and she turned towards the direction of the voice with a dazed look.
It turned out to be the girl's parents, who said something with a grateful look on their faces. Finally, the girl even stuffed the candy that she didn't want to eat on the road into Wang Wei's hands.
Wang Wei looked down at the candy in his hand, looking dazed.
As before, she was still very happy to see the child's head broken and bleeding. And she had done something even worse when she was young - she used a spirit stone to break the forehead of Jun Zhao, who was still a young master.
Because it was done intentionally, the force and angle used were much more tricky than a random kick, and Jun Zhao was hit with blood all over his face on the spot.
The spiritual stone was angular, and the sharp tip of the stone scratched Jun Zhao from his temple to the end of his eye. Blood kept flowing, and when he wiped it with his hand, his hand was covered in blood. But Jun Zhao was too proud to cry out loud, so he could only wipe his tears silently.
Xiao Wangwei felt that her great revenge had been taken at that time. After all, Jun Zhao, that little brat, would walk into her yard "showing off" all day long, with a chic and clean feather robe carrying the clouds in the sky, and a golden crown that made her eyes hurt.
Why? Just because he was lucky?
She didn't even have a pair of shoes. She was barefoot all day long, locked up in a remote courtyard in who knows how many levels of heaven, waiting for the gods to come and kill her in various ways... Then she would wake up without a single scar on her body, and continue to wait as if she were reborn, day after day, over and over again.
Although Jun Zhao did have good intentions to get along with her, and was the only god who had not hurt her at that time, so what? Those who killed her respected him very much.
He was clothed in glory, looking down upon her as a despicable woman, and then pretended to forgive her with a hypocritical attitude.
It's ridiculous.
Of course, Wang Wei would not admit that Jun Zhao is a truly kind person.
Later on, Jun Zhao never did anything to really hurt her, and the grudge between them changed from teenage love and hate to a confrontation between two regimes.
Maybe it’s meaningless to talk about the past. At that time, Wang Wei had completely mastered the power. Who could really hurt her?
But what happened today? It was not her style to meddle in other people's affairs. She didn't know whether she was dizzy from the passenger boat or she was not used to the human territory.
I can't do this again in the future, she blamed herself in her heart. I have been saying "helping others is fun" for a few days, but you didn't take it seriously, did you?
——You can deceive others, but don’t deceive yourself.
Wang Wei pinched the "source of all evil" candy, crushed it into powder with his fingers, and let it disappear in the wind.
Shen Shusheng left the front row and apologized to the girl and her parents. Because nothing happened, the family was reasonable and did not blame Shen Yuan. Then, he learned that it was the woman in the next row who saved the girl.
Wang Wei was standing alone in the team at this time. Huo Feng was sent by her to gather information. The more information about Fang Qiu City, the better, so that they could act next.
"This... Immortal, I'm really sorry. I almost hurt someone just now. Thank you for rescuing me." Shen Shusheng ignored his own team and walked to Wang Wei in the back row.
Wang Wei shook his head: "It's okay. I just saw you arguing with your companions?"
"Did the Immortal see it?" Shen Yuan's cheeks flushed. "It's really insulting."
"Sir, are you interested in talking?" Wang Wei could see his desire to talk.
"Hey, those two were my former classmates. After I failed the imperial examination, we went our separate ways. I didn't expect that when we met again, they had developed the bad habit of gambling and even wanted to gamble on stones!" Shen Yuan was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"The world is unpredictable, so it's better not to interfere with the karma of others." Wang Wei said something from his heart, "What exactly is this gambling stone that you mentioned, sir?"
"Gambling on stones is a different kind of gambling, actually called gambling, and it is no less powerful than ordinary gambling. The gambling is about whether there is good jade hidden in the stone. When the raw stone is mined, it is covered with a special shell on the surface, which looks..." He lowered his head and picked up a stone, "It may be like this, inconspicuous. So you have to cut it open to know the truth inside."
"To become rich overnight or to become poor overnight, the whole meaning of life lies in a piece of stone. Isn't it ridiculous!" Shen Yuan said, leaving only a long sigh.
"Okay, you can go through." The soldiers guarding the city in front called on the caravan to go ahead, and the large army began to move.
Shen Yuan took out his pass and passed the verification. He turned around to look at the woman who had just spoken, but found that she had disappeared.
