Chapter 155: Many Obstacles, Dilapidated Inn(1/2)
The scene in the Chen family's back house can be said to be very ugly.
Although most of the guests were still in the front yard, the head of the Chen family and the master of the Chen family suddenly left. Even a fool knew that something might have happened in the backyard.
It won't be long before the outside world will naturally speculate on rumors that something went wrong on the Chen family's ancestor's 70th birthday.
"The Soul-Suppressing Division...do you need to give me an explanation?" The head of the Chen family said in a cold tone: "Forget about the weird bugs, they are still stepping on the Buddha statue enshrined by my mother. Liu Supervisor, you are so big.
It’s a spectrum!”
Liu Ye's head suddenly became as big as a bucket, and Dong Ming's face became gloomy.
He knew that now that he had not found the entrance to the cave that had disappeared inexplicably, he was already at a loss to defend himself. There was no way he could open his mouth and let others break the golden body to verify the matter.
Knowing that Liu Ye could not stand up for him all the time in this matter, Dong Ming held the knife in one hand and the bug in the other, enduring the pain, and bowed slightly towards the head of the Chen family, Chen Tingsheng:
"Today, Dong Ming got drunk and got confused. What kind of compensation does the Chen family need? I don't have any problem with this junior!"
These words were categorical, but the head of the Chen family smiled coldly: "No problem? Compensation?"
"I heard that those who join the Soul-Suppressing Division are either from humble backgrounds in the slums, or they are people whose family members have all died!"
"How can you, a bitch like you who has made a mistake in your life, have the dignity to ask for compensation in front of me!"
Dong Ming's face changed, and the veins in the hand holding the Hengdao bulged. The anger in his heart burned the tight strings in his brain, and even his breathing became heavy.
He doesn't care how he is insulted, but when he mentions his deceased parents, this is the opposite!
The head of the Chen family narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous look on his face: "Why, the soul-suppressing department that captures demons...could he still attack people?!"
When Liu Ye saw this, he shouted in a deep voice: "Asshole!"
With that said, Liu Ye quickly stepped forward and slapped Dong Ming on the face.
"Snapped!"
Panting heavily, Dong Ming looked at Liu Ye, and his violent chest heaving gradually calmed down.
"It's all your fault today, admit your mistake!" Liu Ye said angrily.
Dong Ming knew Liu Ye's good intentions. He took a deep breath, bent his waist deeper, and almost said each word through gritted teeth: "Yes, no, get up!"
The head of the Chen family snorted coldly: "Liu Duwei, let me give you a face today and take care of your dog!"
After saying that, the head of the Chen family walked away.
Chen Tingsheng on the side showed a playful smile and opened his folding fan. Under his gentle face, his eyes staring at Dong Ming had a hint of chill:
"My Chen family can be considered a wealthy family. Next time before doing something, remember to think through it first."
"If you lose your life...haha..."
…
Although the banquet seemed to be going on without any trouble, Liu Ye had already grabbed Dong Ming and left the Chen Mansion.
At night, Liu Ye walked gloomily in front, while Dong Ming grabbed the insect and followed behind.
Suddenly, Liu Ye turned around suddenly and punched Dong Ming directly in the face.
"You idiot!" Liu Ye scolded angrily: "Do you know where the Chen family is!"
"I've already warned you. If you have a long-term plan, why are you still so impulsive?"
Dong Ming gritted his teeth: "There is really something wrong with the Bodhisattva's golden body, believe me!"
"Of course I believe you, but what next?" Liu Ye said angrily: "Do you know that if the Chen family hadn't wanted to argue with a junior like you, you would have been wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave to be fed to the dogs!
"
Seeing Dong Ming still sitting on the ground in a state of embarrassment, his bloody and ulcerated hands still holding the half-dead bloody beetle, Liu Ye rubbed his hair a little irritably, showing a trace of distress:
"Let's talk as we go, what exactly did you find out!"
With that said, Liu Ye pulled Dong Ming up.
On their way back to Zhenhun Division, Dong Ming also told Liu Ye what happened.
"So, you doubt..."
"Yes!" Dong Ming nodded heavily: "The matter of Liu's mother and son may... be related to this weird blood beetle."
"But who knows what this kind of thing of unknown origin is used for!" Liu Ye sighed a little irritably: "Even your second brother, who is knowledgeable and memorized, I'm afraid he doesn't know about it."
Dong Ming was silent for a moment: "Maybe... there is someone who knows what this is."
Liu Ye immediately turned around and looked at him, showing a trace of doubt.
A moment later, Dong Ming led Liu Ye and knocked on the door of Huanyue Pavilion.
"The door is unlocked, come in." The voice of Huanyue Pavilion Master Chen Huang came out.
This was Liu Ye's first time coming here. As a first-class supervisor of the Soul-Suppressing Division, he instinctively felt that this place was unusual.
"Sit wherever you like."
As he spoke, Chen Huang brought over a pot of tea with a smile.
Dong Ming looked at the other party in surprise: "Pavilion Master...had he known we would come?"
"I...know everything." Chen Huang jokingly took a jade box from the drawer: "This beetle is poisonous, it will hurt if you hold it in your hand."
"It's hard for you to endure it all the time, you're so sweaty."
"Put it in, don't worry, it can't escape."
Dong Ming nodded, and the moment he put the beetle into the jade box, the freed bloody beetle revealed its sinister look.
With the ear-piercing scream, the bloody beetle jumped up and bit into Dong Ming's throat with its sharp mouthparts.
"presumptuous!"
Chen Huang snorted coldly, turned over the peacock fan in his hand and knocked it.
"boom!"
The bloody beetle was immediately knocked over into the jade box.
Chen Huang had quick eyes and quick hands and immediately closed the box.
Seeing the bloody beetles frantically crashing inside, Liu Ye, who was used to seeing wind and waves, couldn't help but change his expression.
"This thing is so vicious!"
Chen Huang shook his head, took a piece of ointment and handed it to Dong Ming: "Just apply it and you'll be fine."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master!"
Chen Huang spit out a mouthful of hookah: "This is the Tripitaka insect."
Dong Ming said in confusion: "Uh... what's the monk's name?"
Chen Huang explained:
"It is said that the Buddha once encountered a strange insect in the blood-stained pool of Savatthi City. This strange insect spoke human words and could recall various experiences in previous lives."
"The Buddha saw the strange insect and called it Master Tripitaka. He also asked whether the evil karma caused by his body, speech and mind was mature."
"The bug said that bad karma has indeed matured and retribution will befall him. Now the karmic fire caused by retribution has made him unbearable."
"The Buddha's disciples couldn't help asking who Master Tripitaka was."
"The Buddha explained that before Universal Tathagata came into the world, there was a benefactor who had great faith in Buddhism, so he became a monk."
"One day, he went down to Mount Luori to beg alms for a group of monks. As a result, five hundred merchants saw them and gave them a lot of gold and silver."
Dong Ming's eyebrows twitched: "Could it be that...that monk embezzled all the gold and silver treasures?"
"Dong Ming is very smart." Chen Huang smiled and blew out a smoke ring: "Later, the hungry monks came down the mountain to ask for alms, and then they found out about it."
"This Master Tripitaka made a fool of himself in a panic, saying that you will become those giant insects in the blood."
"As a result, the reincarnation of cause and effect will be retributive on himself."
"Of course, this is just a legend."
"But later on, people from the Western Region did cultivate a similar poisonous insect. This poisonous insect is very greedy for flesh and blood, just like Master Tripitaka's thirst for treasure."
"Moreover, the more flesh and blood it eats, the bigger the bug becomes, hence the term tripang bug."
After hearing Chen Huang's explanation, Dong Ming immediately asked: "But... Chen Tingsheng is so good, why does he enshrine this kind of insect? And it is still among the Buddha statues?"
Chen Huang smiled and said: "Using Buddha statues as containers is the key to cultivating Tripitaka insects."
"Why did the Buddha statue have no holes when you checked it again? It should be because there is a mechanism inside."
"As for its effect...the Tripitaka insect eats the blood essence, and if used properly, it can also feed the body of others, thus making them...radiant!"
As soon as these words came out, Dong Ming and Liu Ye explained took a deep breath.
They all thought of one person, Mrs. Chen!
Liu Ye's face was gloomy: "Originally, a few months ago, there were rumors that Mrs. Chen was getting weaker and weaker, and she might not be able to survive this year. But today, she is in high spirits. Could it be..."
Dong Ming's eyebrows moved:
To be continued...
