As they boarded the ship on time, Tan Bin said hello in advance. Although it was a cargo ship, the shipman still squeezed a cabin for Shen Hao as a place to stay.
The river breeze blows on the deck, which is very refreshing in the bright weather.
Shen Hao did not stay in the small cabin to rest. The river breeze blowing outside made him clearer. After all, I haven’t used my brain much in almost two years, and now there is always a recovery process when I change things.
Neither the boatman nor the owner came to bother him. Firstly, Tan Bin had to give him face, and secondly, the extremely oppressive aura and appalling evil spirit on Shen Hao's body made people afraid to approach him. Even the usually talkative person kept his mouth shut at this time, because he could feel the cool breath lingering around him from a distance.
This is not to blame Shen Hao for deliberately letting his aura and evil spirit go. The main reason was that he had just taken his body back not long ago, so he was not yet familiar with the "sudden" improvement of his cultivation level, and his aura and evil spirit were not yet able to freely converge. It is estimated that by the time the ship docks, he will be able to collect most of the aura and evil spirits.
What he needs to adapt to is not only his familiar yet unfamiliar body, but also the current chaotic and dispirited situation in the country.
The evil monks actually broke out in one fell swoop with the help of imitations of the Red Devil, creating a situation like wildfire everywhere. This is something Shen Hao would never have thought of beforehand. Even now, he had plenty of doubts about the matter.
For example, even if there is something fishy about the Red Devil imitation that the Black Flag Camp is not aware of and takes precautions against, how do those evil monks get rid of the poison in the bodies of those on death row? This is just in case the Black Flag Camp remains. Once the prisoner on death row disobeys, he will be cut off from the medicine and killed.
For another example, even if the evil monks had a way to access the poison in the bodies of the death row prisoners, how did they make all the death row prisoners suddenly switch sides? It was even almost the same time! Shen Hao didn't believe there was anything strange in this.
In addition, Emperor Yang Shu was also very strange in dealing with the Xuanqing Guards. He not only left a way for the people of the Black Flag Camp to survive, but also drastically reduced the Xuanqing Guards' staff and money, directly weakening the main force against the evil monks. This is simply blocking both ends. Based on Shen Hao's impression of Yang Shu, he really couldn't figure out why the other party seemed so "mentally insane".
Finally there is the sect. There are so many sects in the Jingjiu Dynasty, and they have always obeyed the Jingjiu Dynasty's limited dispatch and contributed their efforts on major issues. Just like the previous war against the barbarians, each sect sent masters to serve in the army. This time, the number of evil monks has spread to such an extent. It is also possible to recruit various sects to contribute. Why, according to Tan Bin, is there no news about this anywhere?
...
After walking around all the way, when Shen Hao once again walked out of the teleportation circle in Fengli City, he found that there was a cloud of sadness in the noisy and noisy Fengli City in the past. Whether they are passers-by in a hurry, or officials and government servants around the teleportation circle, their faces are always knotted between their eyebrows.
Because he did not reveal his identity and used the false identity prepared for him by Tan Bin, no one, including the person who teleported the magic circle, saw through it while carrying a black gauze hat. In addition, after repairs on the ship, Shen Hao is now It has been able to contain most of the aura and evil spirits on the body, so it is not so dazzling.
After leaving the teleportation circle, Shen Hao walked all the way, preparing to go home first. The whole Jing family was in chaos due to the evil monks, and it was unknown how much impact it would have on his family. I hope that the two women in the family will not be stupid, give up what they should, and seek peace so that they can have the capital to recover in the future.
After walking two streets, Shen Hao actually saw seven families holding funerals. The ostentation is not big, it should be a small family, and the coffin is covered with red cloth, which is very abnormal.
The coffin is usually covered with white cloth, which means "sorrow" and also means "death in innocence". Covering the body with red cloth is to "dispel evil spirits" and is only used in case of accidental death. Such as drowning, fire, homicide and other abnormal deaths. This custom is common throughout the Jingjiu Dynasty. It is believed that people who die under normal circumstances will have evil spirits. If the red cloth is not used as a hedge, the evil spirits will accumulate, making it easy for the deceased to become violent and become Evil spirit.
Was there some kind of disaster that caused so many people to die in an accident?
The first thing Shen Hao thought of was the evil spirits and evil monks that were disturbing the entire dynasty. So he stood on the side of the road for a while, and the comments from passers-by confirmed his thoughts.
Just last night, Fengri City was attacked by three evil spirits. The guards and Xuanqing Guards worked together to clear them out, but it still caused disaster to eleven families. These include four large households and seven small households. Rich families will bury the body at home for seven days, and there will be some customs and rituals to ward off evil spirits. And people from small families only have a piece of red cloth, so they have to be buried in a hurry. There were even two families whose whole families were in trouble and had to rely on neighbors to arrange funerals hastily.
The rampant evil spirits and evil monks in the old Jing Dynasty gave Shen Hao the most intuitive impression. It suddenly dawned on me why everyone I met after entering the city had sad expressions on their faces, because they were worried. Is this still the case in the heavily defended hub cities, as well as in the villages, towns and Zhuangzi outside the big cities? How should the people living there be in constant panic?
The Shen Mansion is still in that position, and the red-painted door is still bright, but the passers-by are no longer as cautious as before. Some people even set up a stall not far from the Shen Mansion and sold roasted sweet potatoes there. This was an absolutely impossible scene two years ago. At that time, even the beggars in Fengli City did not dare to stop at the door of Shen Mansion. They would not even pass by. They would just go around if they could, just a few steps away. Anyone who passes by the Evil Star's door feels panicked.
But now, it seems that except for the golden word "Shen's Mansion" on the red painted door, no one thinks that this place is any different from other places.
However, what made Shen Hao gratified was that as soon as he approached the Shen Mansion, he felt six alert auras sweeping over him. They were all familiar auras to him, including the three special guards he had left behind and the three Xuanqings assigned to him by Pang Ban. Guard secret guard.
Two years later, these six people are still guarding Shen's mansion, which means that the three special guards have not forgotten their roots and have not neglected their duties and taken the opportunity to find another job because of Shen Hao's disappearance. This loyalty and integrity make Shen Hao happy.
Another source of relief came from the three secret guards. Their presence showed that Commander Pang Ban did not ignore the safety of his family because of Shen Hao's disappearance, and the minimum protection was still there. It seems that the friendship that was given to Pang Ban is still there today.
These six people were able to sense Shen Hao in advance because Shen Hao didn't hide his aura. Why were they so secretive when they were home? It's just that Shen Hao's aura is so unpredictable now that the six people didn't recognize him for a while.
"Dong dong dong." Shen Hao knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Xiao Ma's voice answered inside, and then the door opened a crack, and Xiao Ma looked outside with a wary look.
"Who did you say you were?"
"You...Shen, Shen, Master Shen!!?"
