Chapter 135 Big move
“I really can’t understand why Mr. Wang has always been very popular in the village.
I don’t know who dared to kill Mr. Wang and what their purpose was.”
This was also the thing that Chen Dongsheng couldn't understand the most. In the village, Wang Shen seemed to have never had any grudges with anyone. He couldn't understand who would have a grudge against a teacher.
Lu Feipeng did not interfere too much in this matter. After all, he was the one who killed Wang Shen. As the saying goes, too much talk leads to mistakes, so he did not say much.
"Forget it. If you can't figure it out, forget it. Wang Shen is a lonely man. Now that he has left, no one will pursue him.
There are a few people in the village who are well educated and can teach the children to read and write. Let’s leave it at that.”
Chen Dongsheng also understood that continuing the investigation would only add to his troubles and would not produce any results.
He shook his head vigorously to get rid of all the distracting thoughts in his mind, then looked at Lu Feipeng and said:
"Fei Peng received news from the Ningtai Township Inspection Office last night."
Hearing this, Lu Feipeng immediately perked up, then he looked at Chen Dongsheng and asked:
"What do you think about Dongsheng Shuningtai Township? When will Lord Liu arrive?"
Chen Dongsheng just shook his head and said:
"Fei Peng, there was an accident. Lord Liu went to another place to deal with some things. It will take him two or three days to get here."
"Since Lord Liu can't make it, what should we do in the next two days? Has Ningtai Township sent down any arrangements?"
Lu Feipeng thought that since Liu Xiangyang couldn't make it in time, he should have other arrangements.
"Well, you guessed right, Fei Peng, there is indeed an arrangement.
As soon as I arrived at the camp this morning, Lord Ma told me that the higher-ups had ordered the monks from the three nearby villages to rush to our Sanjia Village.
Only two monks are left in each village to guard the village, and the rest of the monks must come to our village.
The higher-ups have temporarily handed these people over to our village association, and asked us to lead them to the wilderness to keep an eye on the traces of the magic rabbits.
When Lord Liu arrives, that will be the day we take action."
"Uncle Dongsheng, do you recognize the cultivators from the other three villages? How strong are they?"
Since the four villages have joined forces this time, and these three villages are responsible for coordinating.
Lu Feipeng felt that he still needed to understand in advance the strength of the other three villages.
Chen Dongsheng shook his head and said:
“I’m not sure about their specific strength right now. When I was working for the Inspection Department, I had contact with people from the three villages.
But these were all things that happened several years ago, and it’s hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker now.”
Afterwards, the two discussed the matter again. After all matters were discussed, Lu Feipeng said goodbye to Chen Dongsheng:
"Uncle Dongsheng, I'm going to patrol the outside stronghold first. If there's anything, just call me."
Chen Dongsheng, who was sitting opposite him, waved his hand and said:
"Let's go together. Let's go and change the two old men back. After all, they are old and can't stand such hard work."
"it is good."
……
"Eh? Fei Peng, when did you come back?"
At the Forbidden Demon Gate, as soon as Lu Feipeng walked out of the Forbidden Demon Gate, he was seen by Dou Fei who was on duty there.
"I came back last night, Doufei, how are you, is everything ok?"
Lu Feipeng greeted Dou Fei with a smile.
At this time, Chen Dongsheng on the side interrupted and said:
"Fei Peng, you may not know this, but Dou Fei had already sensed the existence of spiritual energy the night before. It is estimated that he will only be one or two days away from breaking through to the first level of the Spirit Induction Realm."
"what?"
After hearing this, Lu Feipeng was extremely happy.
He didn't expect that Dou Fei actually had a talent for cultivation, and judging from the time he had spent in cultivation, Dou Fei's talent for cultivation was probably not bad.
So he quickly looked at Doufei and asked him:
"Is what Uncle Dou Fei Dongsheng said true? Have you really sensed the existence of spiritual energy?"
Dou Fei nodded and said truthfully:
"Yes Fei Peng, Uncle Dongsheng is right. When I was practicing the night before last, I sensed the existence of spiritual energy for the first time."
"Really? That's great, Doufei. From now on, we will both be monks, hahahaha..."
After hearing the news that Dou Fei had sensed the spiritual energy, Lu Feipeng was even more excited than Dou Fei.
He was truly happy that Doufei could become a monk.
Even Chen Dongsheng who was standing by couldn't help but feel happy for Doufei.
The patrol team had just lost a deputy captain and he was worried about it.
After all, their Sanjia Village is lucky. In this special period, they have one more cultivator.
As expected, God has been kind to the three villages.
At this time, Ma Chengyou and Zhao Yufeng were meditating under the pavilion.
As soon as Lu Feipeng and Chen Dongsheng arrived not far from the pavilion, they heard Zhao Yufeng's heartfelt sigh:
"Old Ma, how long have you said that we haven't been on patrol like this?"
Ma Chengyou hesitated for a while, as if he was thinking about it in his mind, and then he said uncertainly:
"It must be about 18 or 19 years, or even less than 20 years, right?"
"Hey, that's not right, Lao Ma, have you forgotten?
The last time we patrolled like this was in Dama Village. It has been 21 years since that mission!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Yufeng shook his head.
Ma Chengyou was surprised and said:
"H-Has it been that long?"
"Hey!"
Zhao Yufeng sighed first, then looked up into the air with a longing look on his face and said:
"Yes, it has been twenty-one years, and looking back now it still seems like a lifetime ago.
Time really waits for no one. In the blink of an eye, you and I have already entered our seventies!"
Just as the two were reminiscing about the past, Chen Dongsheng and Lu Feipeng just happened to arrive outside the pavilion.
"Cough cough..."
Chen Dongsheng coughed dryly, then said:
"My Lords, nothing happened with the patrol today, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Dongsheng and the other man just walked up to him.
As early as when Chen Dongsheng started coughing, the complexions of the two old men had returned to normal.
There was no trace of the longing look on his face.
The two looked at Chen Dongsheng who made the voice, and saw Lu Feipeng following behind him.
"Dongsheng is here."
After saying this, Ma Chengyou looked at Lu Feipeng who was following behind Chen Dongsheng and said to him:
"Captain Lu, you've been running around in the wilderness for two days, why don't you take a rest?"
Lu Feipeng looked at Ma Chengyou and smiled at him:
"I have already rested. Thank you for your concern, Master Ma."
At this time, Zhao Yufeng on the side interrupted:
"It's only been a short time. How can you rest enough in such a short time?"
"Yes, it's only morning now, how can such a short time be enough?"
Ma Chengyou also echoed from the side.
Seeing the two old men treating him so attentively, Lu Feipeng felt warm in his heart. They treated him like their own elders.
So he waved his hands at the two of them and said:
"Enough, enough, really enough. The monsters in the wilderness should have been scared away by the group of magic rabbits. I wasn't actually tired when I was in the wilderness.
It’s just that I can’t rest well at night, but that’s not a big deal, as long as I meditate and practice, I’ll be fine.”
At this time, Chen Dongsheng interrupted and said:
"Master Ma, let's not talk about this for now. I have already told Fei Peng about the four villages jointly tracking down the group of magic rabbits. Let's talk about Wang Shen first."
Hearing Wang Shen, Ma Chengyou and Zhao Yufeng looked at each other, and then their eyes became solemn.
Although this kind of thing has happened before, those who disappeared or were assassinated were basically members of the patrol team.
They also roughly know who did this.
However, for the sake of the entire village, they had no choice but to turn a blind eye and pretend not to know.
But this incident was obviously different from the previous ones, because the one who was in trouble this time was Wang Shen.
Although Wang Shen was just a scholar, his prestige in the village was second only to the village chief Wang Qingping and patrol captain Chen Dongsheng.
It can be said that his prestige in the village is higher than that of Ma Chengyou and Zhao Yufeng.
Even deputy captains Wang Yushi and Liu Yuansi did not have as high prestige as him in the village.
Because Wang Shen had been a teacher in the village for twenty or thirty years.
It is no exaggeration to say that all the literate villagers in Sanjia Village were taught by him.
Especially in the first few years after he came here, Wang Shen welcomed everyone, from white-haired old men to young children, and many people studied and learned calligraphy from Wang Shen.
Liu Yuansi has been left in the wilderness forever, so the murderer this time could not be him at all.
The purpose of this person killing Wang Shen is really worth pondering. It would be troublesome if a murderer appeared in the village.
That's why Ma Chengyou looked at Chen Dongsheng solemnly, and even his tone of voice was a little serious.
"Dongsheng, how is the situation during your inspection at the scene?"
Chen Dongsheng just shook his head and said:
"There were no clues about the murderer left at the scene, and I don't even know what weapon Wang Shen was killed with.
The murderer's methods were extremely sophisticated. When I went there, there was only ashes in the yard.
As I expected, the remaining piece of ash is undoubtedly Mr. Wang."
The atmosphere at the scene was silent for a while, and Lu Feipeng kept looking at him.
In the end, it was Chen Dongsheng who spoke, breaking the moment of silence.
He knew that the two elders were old and the word death was quite sensitive to them.
"Now is not the time to think about this problem. After all, we have no clues.
Our current focus should be on patrols and the wilderness. The Inspection Department asked us to unite the four villages, and only two monks can be left in the village.
We should discuss the two candidates to see who is more suitable to stay. "
Chen Dongsheng's words really touched the hearts of several people present. This matter really needs to be discussed.
"Anyway, no matter what, one of the three of us who are at the ninth level of the Spirit Induction Realm must stay in the village."
These words were spoken by Zhao Yufeng.
What he said was right. After all, their base camp was in Sanjia Village. For the safety of the village, a person with high cultivation level must be left behind to guard the village.
"I won't stay. I'm young and have good stamina. I can deal with the group of magic rabbits easily, but I think I can come and go freely."
What Chen Dongsheng said was right. He was now less than 40 years old, but his cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Spirit Induction Realm. He was in his prime.
