I Use Idle Books To Become Saint

"What's the matter?" Chen Luo hurriedly asked.

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling, and said: "Two years ago, during the autumn harvest, Wang Xigui, a tenant from Xiaoxi Village in the east of the city, came to the mansion and said that a tiger ran out of Xixiu Mountain and killed his wife. It was taken away. At that time, the lady was out on business, so I told you about it, Young Master."

After finishing speaking, Chen Ping squinted at Chen Luo, and Chen Luo was taken aback for a moment. His previous personality should not take this kind of thing to heart at all, so he didn't have any memories.

"What did I say then?" Chen Luo asked.

"You let the old slave figure it out..." Chen Ping continued, "The old slave made his own claim, found the hunter Zhou Yong in Xiaoxi Village, gave him twenty taels of silver, and sent more than a dozen Zhuang Ding to do it. Helper, went to Xixiu Mountain to catch that tiger, and killed it."

"and then?"

"At that time, Zhou Yong explored the tiger's den and said that there should be two tigers nearby, one male and one female. Why did he kill the first and the female, but did not see the male? Just in case, I asked people to search the vicinity for a few days , they didn’t even find the male tiger, so they withdrew them back. Young Master, do you think the male tiger has cultivated into a spirit and returned to take revenge?”

Chen Luo pondered slightly, in this world, it is not uncommon for wild beasts to become spirits. Let’s not talk about what Heavenly and Mortal Treasures Minghao took. Let’s just talk about the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism preaching, Buddhism Purdue, and Confucian enlightenment. There is a chance that the beast will open up its spiritual wisdom and turn into a monster. It's hard to guarantee that there will be an expert who opens his mouth, so that the escaped male tiger will gain Taoism and turn into a tiger demon.

"Is Zhou Yong still there?" Chen Luo asked.

Chen Ping was startled, and said, "Young Master, I remembered what you said. Before my Chen family had an accident, Zhou Yong went to the mountain and never returned. It has been about a month now."

Chen Luo frowned again, and said softly, "Zhong Kui!"

I saw Zhong Kui's figure slowly appearing behind Chen Luo. Chen Luo had already explained Zhong Kui's matter to Chen Ping before, but Chen Ping didn't expect the other party's face to be so ugly, he was terrified, his legs were weak, but he was holding the face of the housekeeper of Chen's house stiffly, and he just turned his face away Don't look at Zhong Kui.

Chen Luo didn't pay attention to Chen Ping's expression, but asked Zhong Kui, "What did you find out after eating that ghost?"

Zhong Kui nodded, and said: "It didn't take long for the ghost to take shape, more than a month at most, and there are still some memories of being a human being in the deepest part of the soul. Although it is messy, it can be vaguely recognized that it should be hunting for a living..."

"Then, Zhou Yong transformed the ghost ghost..." Chen Luo murmured, "Then the tiger demon that harmed my Chen family should be the male tiger that disappeared."

"Then... what should we do now?" Chen Ping treats Chen Luo as his own, and has always had a "genius" filter towards Chen Luo. He is not surprised by Chen Luo's performance at this time, but feels that this is the master's son , asked subconsciously.

Chen Luo thought for a moment, then said: "The tiger demon has killed so many people, so its Blood Qi must be so high that it dare not approach the county seat. Since it is a beast of Xixiu Mountain, it must be hiding in Xixiu Mountain."

"I remember Dad once said that the officials of the Daxuan Dynasty can activate the official seal and use up the dynasty's luck to detect the demonic spirit of one side. The whole Wan'an County is too big, it is not a critical moment, and Caizhi County will definitely not use luck to detect the whole City. But if it’s just one Xixiu Mountain, my Chen family can afford it.”

"Uncle Ping, go and pay two thousand taels of silver to the account!"

"Two thousand taels?" Chen Ping was startled. The Chen family relied on Chen Xuan as the head of the household to do some rice grain and silkworm business. The annual income was about four thousand taels. The silver taels that can be put into the warehouse are only about 2,500 taels. Chen Luo was about to withdraw nearly a year's worth of treasury money in one breath, which made Chen Ping wonder whether Chen Luo was possessed by someone else.

"Young Master, do you want to ask Miss?" Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, but still said something tentatively.

Chen Luo frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn't pay too much attention to money in his previous life, and although he himself was a poor social animal in his previous life, he didn't have any idea about silver. The reason why he said the number "two thousand taels" was because I roughly remember that the county government can mobilize the luck of the dynasty to bless the wealthy families, and the price is clearly marked. The price of the wealthy families in the county is one thousand taels of silver.

Of course, the county government took the money and used it to build bridges and pave roads, support orphans and widows, and subsidize government schools, which made the dynasty even more lucky.

Seeing Chen Ping's reaction, Chen Luo also realized that two thousand taels was not a small amount for the Chen family, and was about to agree to ask him to ask Chen Xuan's opinion, but after another thought, he was not the trash rice bug he used to be. It's better to set up a personal setting first while being resurrected from the dead. Besides, this money is related to the safety of the Chen family, and it is an inevitable expense, so his face became serious, and he said: "I decide this matter, let Chen Xuan have a good rest, and don't disturb her!"

Chen Ping was taken aback when he heard the words, Young Master actually took on the responsibility! It seems that what the master said is correct, men mature in an instant, so he nodded quickly: "I... I will go to the account to withdraw the cash."

"Well, then you go, I'll wait for you at the door. Others don't need to be alarmed, the tiger demon should not dare to attack the county."

Chen Ping quickly responded, then turned and left. Only then did Chen Luo turn his head to look at Zhong Kui. When Zhong Kui appeared before, as the master of book spirits, he sensed the weakening of Zhong Kui's aura.

"What's wrong with you? But you were injured in the fight with the ghost before?"

Zhong Kui was taken aback, and bowed to Chen Luo: "My lord is concerned, my family is fine. It's just that the underworld here is a bit weird, and it won't be too late for my lord to report to you after the tiger demon matter is settled."

Chen Luo nodded upon hearing this. Zhong Kui was originally the judge of the underworld, and it is not unusual for the "Zhong Kui" book spirit he condensed to enter the underworld. But at this time, it is true that dealing with the tiger demon is the highest priority, so I won't ask any more questions.

From the gate of the Chen Mansion is Xi'an Avenue, one of the three main streets in Wan'an County. This street is full of houses of the rich and powerful in the county, with some schools and medical clinics interspersed among them. It was the middle of the night, and there were no pedestrians on the road. Chen Ping drove out a carriage from the house. Chen Luo stepped into the carriage, got into the carriage, and let Chen Ping drive on the road. He began to think about how to deal with the situation. The number one person in the county——Cai Tongchen of Cai Zhi County!

In the middle of the night, it was between 11:00 pm and 1:00 am. Based on Chen Luo's experience in his previous life, he would not knock on the door of the leader's house during this time period. After all, this time is too private, and the other party can do anything.

But at this time, Chen Luo couldn't afford to choose. According to Zhong Kui, the tiger demon needs the ghost ghost to return to understand what the ghost ghost is doing, so the tiger demon doesn't know that the ghost ghost was eaten by Zhong Kui for the time being. But if the ghost didn't return to the tiger demon after dawn, the tiger demon must know that something happened to the ghost, and things would change.

Secondly, there is another reason why Chen Luo dared to do this, that is, Cai Tongchen had a close relationship with his dead cheap father, and it is said that he was also mentored by Chen's father. Chen Xuan, a woman, can support the Chen family's business and develop, and Cai Tongchen's help is indispensable for this.

The moon and stars were sparse, and the county government office was not too far from the Chen residence. After walking for about twenty minutes, Chen Ping drove the carriage to the back of the county government office. The county magistrate's official residence is right behind the yamen, so naturally there is also a majestic main entrance behind the county yamen. Chen Ping stepped forward to knock on the door, and in less than a moment, the door opened with his sleepy eyes rubbing his sleepy eyes. Before he could utter a curse, he saw a piece of snowflake silver being handed over. After passing the silver, he took the greeting card with his right hand, said "wait first", and closed the door.

At this time, Chen Ping wanted to understand why Chen Xuan was sure that Master Li would lead the way. At this time, those disciples definitely dare not go directly to Cai Tongchen, so they can only go to their own Uncle Master Li first. As a staff member, Master Li naturally has an own residence in the official residence.

What Chen Luo didn't expect was that Master Li didn't wait for it, but waited until a fierce air force flew out from the back office and hit Chen Luo's carriage, causing the whole carriage to be torn apart. Chen Luo only saw a middle-aged scribe with a good appearance flying out of the back office in a long gown, holding a long sword, pointed at himself, and shouted——

"Where is the monster, dare to steal my nephew's body. You have deceived my niece and all the servants, but you can't deceive me, Cai Tongchen—"
