Chapter 643 Turning Into a White Man

When the man on the beam was worried, Guan Xinrui finally came back. Seeing the study door ajar, he was slightly startled and hurried over.

With a "squeak~" sound, the study door was opened, but Guan Xinrui felt relieved when he saw his wife waiting inside.

"Madam, it turns out you're here. You've been waiting for a long time. I just had some official business that I had to deal with urgently."

Guan Xinrui came over to greet him, but his wife Liu just sat there without saying a word, and the maid on the side didn't dare to speak.

Guan Xinrui was stunned for a moment, took a few steps closer and reached out to touch his wife, but was pushed away by the other party, still without saying a word.

"What's wrong with you, madam? Qiao'er, what's wrong with her, madam?"

The maid on one side looked at the county magistrate and shook her head to express ignorance. Guan Xinrui was puzzled, but saw his wife looking at the bookcase over there, and then stood up.

Mrs. Liu walked to the desk, reached out and picked up the document on it and looked at Guan Xinrui.

"Husband, you are a well-educated man with ideals and ambitions. I was also attracted by your righteousness and talent at the beginning, but now, how can you write such a document when you are clearly involved in the murder case?"

Guan Xinrui frowned, walked to his wife, took the document from her hand, and sighed slightly.

"The official situation in the court is complicated. Since the dragon scale appears in our Haiyu County, it is very likely that it will end up in the hands of the royal family. This is an opportunity for my husband."

As he spoke, Guan Xinrui took the crossed-out document and said.

"It's no problem to write it like this, but it brings bad luck to Long Lin. The superiors won't care about the murder of a mere servant. Why don't we make the document more beautiful? If my father-in-law were here, he would definitely agree. What I said."

Guan Xinrui carried out Liu's father, who suddenly looked unhappy and frowned at him.

"My father's officialdom is based on the general trend of the government. You are just a small local county magistrate and have lost your original intention. Even if you rise to a high position, are you still the same Guan Xinrui as before?"

Seeing that his wife seemed really angry, Guan Xinrui looked thoughtful, sometimes frowning and sometimes sighing. After a long time, his expression improved. He put his hands on his wife's shoulders and turned her body to face him, looking at her seriously.

"Madam! You are right! With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? This sentence is like a wake-up call. I have not learned much from your father-in-law's righteousness. Instead, I only care about my own officialdom. I really am unworthy of the teachings of the sages!"

After that, he took the pen from the pen holder, dipped it in ink, and crossed out the document in his hand.

"Throw this article away and write it again for my husband!"

Mrs. Liu's brows relaxed and a smile appeared on her face.

"This is the husband I know! I made health soup today and it's almost time for dinner. Let's go there together!"

"Okay! Madam, go over first, I'll clean up and come back!"

"Um!"

Mrs. Liu left with her maids. Guan Xinrui walked them to the door of the study, then closed the door and quickly walked to the corner of the bookshelf and found the wooden box containing the dragon scales. Apparently, everything was in the same condition as when he left.

Not long after, Guan Xinrui also left, just taking the wooden box with him.

When the study became quiet, the masked man hiding on the beam still did not relax. He carefully looked around the study. It was obvious that he was not looking at living people at the moment, but was wary of what he had just felt.

I heard people say that places like county offices are protected by the power of the imperial court. Generally speaking, it is difficult for ghosts to enter, but today the man felt that such rumors were not very credible.

After waiting for a while and confirming that there was no danger in the study, the man jumped lightly to the ground. The evil thing should be closely related to the dragon scale. Since the dragon scale was taken away, then the study would be fine.

The man's name was Chai Wang. He was good at martial arts and considered himself not a righteous person. With his skills, he could easily grab the dragon scale from Guan Xinrui just now.

But now, Chai Wang has stopped thinking about the dragon scale below. It is obvious that the county government's dragon scale attracts evil spirits, so if he wants to take it, he must also take the Zhou family's piece.

In fact, Chai Wang is also a person with outstanding spiritual awareness. Because of this, he was entrusted with strange dreams before.

Chai Wang no longer thought about it, opened the door to the study and quietly walked out. But when he got outside, he was shocked again.

In the middle of the small courtyard in the evening, there was a man in a black robe standing in the rain. When Chai Wang came out, the man also looked at him, and Chai Wang could see the man's appearance clearly.

This man is tall and has a calm face with a somewhat breathtaking look. His black beard is not thick, but it is as long as his forearm. Anyway, he does not look like an ordinary person at first glance.

Just being glanced at, Chai Wang felt a slight chill in his body. This chill was even far worse than when he saw the ghost just now. It was also at this moment that his eyes fell on the feet of the man in black, and he froze slightly.

The rain falling from the sky formed a shallow ring of water around the man's feet. The surrounding water seemed to be gathering around the man, spinning slightly around his feet.

This look, this feeling, the key is that it is also so evil, it reminds Chai Wang of the person he met the night before.

The silence lasted for about three breaths, but Chai Wang was holding his breath at this moment.

Suddenly, the man opposite reached out his hand, his five claws slightly twitching.

"Alas."

A gust of wind blew back, and Chai Wang's feet instantly lifted off the ground, his body lost balance, and he flew towards the man opposite.

It’s this trick again!

Compared to last time, Chai Wang was more prepared this time. At least he could still move his hands in the air. In his nervousness, he took out three silver needles with cinnabar and shot them forward.

The silver needle was in the shape of a "pin", and with the wind blowing back, it shot directly into the palm of the man opposite. This was also Chai Wang's first instinctive reaction under the influence of his own intuition.

"呲呲呲"

The man opposite squeezed his right hand, and three silver needles were directly held in his hand. Chai Wang, who had already flown into the air, also fell down. However, he waved two palms in the air and forcibly twisted his body.

"Pa~"

His feet landed on the ground in the courtyard, splashing some water, and he staggered back a few steps, looking ahead with a wary expression.

"Um?"

Hei Yi said this, and a playful smile appeared on his face, but this smile brought a terrifying pressure to Chai Wang. His whole body felt as if he had been deprived of all senses in an instant, his body stiffened and his face turned pale.

I want to move, but I can't do it at all. It can even be said that I just want to but don't dare to take action.

This is the oppression brought about by extreme fear.

What is this? What is it? Is it a ghost or a monster?

At the moment when the thoughts in his mind were frightening and complex, the man in black shirt who was still a little far away shrunk in an instant, and he took a step forward and was already in front of Chai Wang.

"You've seen this trick before, right?"

Chai Wang's face didn't know whether it was wet from the rain falling from the sky or soaked with more sweat. His body was shaking slightly and his eyes were wide open. He didn't know whether the other person was asking about the catch just now or his current state. .

"What else have you seen?"

In just a few words, Chai Wang didn't even say anything more. He just made a brief statement, and the black shirt seemed to lose interest.

Finally, the person took a few steps forward, and a little mist filled the air around him, and it seemed as if the whole person had turned into mist and dissipated in the rain.

Chai Wang, who couldn't move, also recovered, and his whole body collapsed in the rain.

After being drenched by the cold rain for a while, Chai Wang finally calmed down and did not dare to stay any longer. He jumped up using Qinggong and quickly fled from the county government office.

This time Chai Wang was able to confirm that he had encountered a monster, the kind of monster that could kill him with just a thought!

In a restaurant on the street outside the county government office, Yi Shuyuan was eating rice when he was suddenly startled. His real body disappeared from his seat almost instantly, leaving only a false body sitting there.

"Store, check out!"

The fake person put down his chopsticks and stood up. After his greeting, and there were not many customers in the store at the moment, the store owner came over immediately, but he was stunned when he looked at the dishes on the table, and he didn't take a few bites at all.

"Sir, the food is not to your liking?"

Yi Shuyuan's fake body shook his head.

"It's not that the food is not delicious, it's just that I suddenly remembered something important and I didn't have time to eat. A total of one hundred and thirty coins are all here."

Yi Shuyuan took out a number of copper coins that he exchanged here, ranging from five to one cent. After saying this, he left his seat.

"Okay, sir, please go slowly and come often~~~"

The shopkeeper watched the customer leave, frowned in hindsight while collecting the money, and then looked back at the customer who had gone away.

"How did he know it was one hundred and thirty cents?"

Looking at the hanging menu boards again, the store owner patted his head. Emotions are photographic. Is it okay to remember them at a glance?

At this moment, the transformed fake body was walking faster and faster, and in just a moment, it arrived outside the streets and alleys on the side of the county government office. There, the real Yi Shuyuan had been standing still for a while, while the Yi Shuyuan who was coming had transformed into a man. It was a phantom that merged into the real body.

Yi Shuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked inside the county government office.

"Sir, look over there"

Hui Mian stretched out his paws and pointed to some places around him. Yi Shuyuan also looked in the direction it pointed. Under some trees near the county government office and even in front of some houses, many birds fell down at this moment, including skylarks and barn swallows.

At that moment, these birds were so frightened that they fell. At this moment, they were still unable to take off due to fear, but they did not lose their breath.

"What a powerful dragon!"

"Sir, do you mean that we are hiding something? When I went to Beihai, I intentionally or unintentionally revealed that you were not here!"

Hui Mian's mind was moving very quickly, and Yi Shuyuan also nodded slightly, scanning the surroundings with his eyes, and at this moment, the background of everything he saw around him changed instantly.

Streets, house numbers, trees, falling birds.

As he glanced over a place with his peripheral vision, there was a man holding a flag and leaning in front of a house. It seemed that he was making decisions for others in his home. The flag read: "Old Immortal's Miao Gua".

A moment's glance gives rise to a moment's feeling.

Yi Shuyuan's figure also changed at this moment, a faint mist filled his body, his green clothes turned into green, and there was a layer of gray and old short hair, his long gray hair completely turned into white, and the Confucian scarf on his head shrank and turned into It is a simple wooden hairpin, and a white beard grows on the upper lip and chin.

This stretching change affects the whole body in subtle ways, but the changes affecting the whole body are also completed in an instant.

The original Yi Shuyuan transformed into an old man with a true sense of immortality.

After the old man stood still for a while, there was an inconspicuous sound of breaking through the air in the heavy rain. Chai Wang moved out from the county government office. When he looked around in the air and passed one side of the courtyard wall, he saw an old man with white hair. Just standing in the rain stroking my beard.

As if sensing his gaze, the old man turned his head and glanced in the air.

However, Chai Wang's figure just jumped in the air. He thought that he was very fast and it was raining heavily, so the other party probably didn't see it clearly.

PS: Indeed, all criticisms are correct.

It is now the early morning of the next day. I will go out at 4 or 5 o'clock and deal with things. I will definitely resume the second update from today, and then start to make up for the previous ones.

Some things are just excuses, people who are willing to listen and those who don't want to hear don't get along, and most people's joys and sorrows are not connected.

I wish you all good health, spend more time with your children, and visit your elders at home. This is the most important thing!
