Chapter 47: Jia Jin Sheng, I don't actually want to kill you

It rained down hard.

Grey clouds covered the sky, and the continuous mountains in the distance mixed into a collection of black ink.

The rain curtain holds the heavens and earth together.

The crack!

The sky suddenly shone brightly, and a bolt of lightning crossed the sky like a silver snake, then in an instant disappeared.

Summer is approaching, and heavy rains in late spring seem to carry a trail of summer warmth.

On Qing Mao Mountain, a large stretch of jade green bamboo spear stood upright and straight, restraining the wind and rain, the bamboo body was as straight as a spear as ever, the bamboo tip leading to the blue sky dome.

In Gu Yue village, innumerable rows of high-piled houses held out against the torrential rain shower. Outside the village, the caravans had already started their journey once again.

"The rain is heavy, watch the sidewalk."

"Don't miss, Mr. Gu better pull Gumu properly, especially the fat beetle, don't block the mountain road anymore!"

“You group of mortal martial warriors, it is better to open your eyes wide and take a good look. Lose one thing and you will pay for it!

There was an endless stream of screams rising and descending consecutively from the merchant caravan.

After stopping at Gu Yue village for three days, it was time for this merchant caravan to leave the place and follow the mountain path through Qing Mao Mountain and towards their next destination.

Heavy rain cleared the sky and earth, and the streets around the village were paved with round stones, this was still fine. But after about five hundred meters the road will turn into a muddy and narrow mountain path.

The cocky ostrich's cocky head drooped, its rainbow-colored feathers drenched in the rain, sticking out into clumps, becoming an example of a chicken soaking wet and soaking wet.

The fat beetle worm moved its large, fat body, walking very slowly forward. Rainwater smashed into his black armor, forming streams of streams of water, sliding on both sides of his body to the earth.

The furry mountain spider was also drenched, and its green-black feathers stuck together.

Instead, the frog Gu happily called out, carrying the burden and Mr. Gu, leaped forward on the mountain. And the winged snake had already flapped its wings, the thick snake body cheerfully walking on the muddy water.

In order to protect the item and prevent it from being drenched by rainwater, the Master Gu showed their current magical abilities.

On some large fat beetles stood Gu Masters in the middle. Both of their hands were raised high, each of them had the One-stretch Golden Light Worm floating in the air an inch from their palms.

The primordial essence of green copper was like a stream that evaporated as it concentrated into the body of the Golden Light Worm One Stretch. The entire Gu flashed like a golden bean, acting as a heart, supporting the incomparably faint golden-colored bubble vault.

The hemisphere-shaped bubble dome has a rather large scope. It can completely cover one fat beetle worm and still have some space left.

When the rain hits the bubble dome, it will bounce off, like hitting an umbrella. Yet this Golden Light Worm One Stretch continuously consumed the primordial essence, and in the long run a rank one Master Gu would not be able to receive it anymore.

As expected, after a while, a Master Gu shouted: "No more, my primeval essence is almost depleted, who can take over?"

"I can!" Almost simultaneously, a Master Gu rushed forward and changed his position.

Some Master Gu who pulled the carriage or rode the mountain spider activated the Green Silk Gu on their bodies.

Under his influence, their hair began to grow rapidly.

The hair of a normal person has at least a hundred thousand strands. A hundred thousand strands of hair, each measuring five to six meters in length, intertwined and covered Master Gu's body along with his horse, forming an impenetrable raincoat of hair.

Green Silk Gu is a rank one Gu worm, often used for defense. It used 30% of the green copper primordial essence to activate, and was not a type of continuous production like the Golden Light Worm One Stretch.

This Green Gu Sutra could be combined with a Rank one Black Pig Gu to become a Rank two Black Mane Gu.

Black Mane Gu when activated will involve not only the hair on the head, but also the hair in all the pores. In a few seconds, Gu Master's body would obtain a black mane protector.

The path of Black Mane Gu's advancement was the famous third ranked Gu, Steel Mane Gu.

In addition to the One-stretch Golden Light Worm and Green Silk Gu, many Master Gu caravans also chose Water Spider Gu. It could be seen that there was a thin layer of blue raincoats on their bodies.

On the surface of the raincoat, water circulates randomly. When raindrops hit the raincoat, it will soon become part of the raincoat.

As Master Gu was constantly soaking in the rain, the raincoats on their bodies would grow thicker. Occasionally Master Gu had to urge Gu the Water Spiders and dispose of the excess water. At this time the thick raincoat will be reduced to its original thin layer.

As for those mortal warriors, they continued to move, keeping an eye on the items on the muddy road. Most of them wear raincoats made of straw, but due to the rush and confusion, straw raincoats have a limited effect to avoid rain, and the, they were soaked in rain water.

"This damn weather!" The soldiers cursed in their hearts.

In rainy weather, mountain trails become more difficult to traverse.

Under this kind of weather, martial artists might be physically strong but they were still human. Once their bodies were drenched in rain and coupled with intensive work, they would easily catch a cold. Getting a serious illness is the mildest consequence, perhaps they will be affected, and if they are exposed to a certain severe illness, it may cause them severe pain and be left on the journey itself.

If they were to encounter a slippery path on a mountain path, or face a savage beast and a Gu worm attack, they might lose their lives.

The caravan might be large, and it had many Master Gu. But every time they traveled, there would always be a huge drop in numbers. The most mortal martial artists died, while Gu Masters also sustained injuries and casualties.

If the caravan was unlucky enough to face a large-scale migrating savage beast, they might even be wiped out completely.

In addition to natural disasters, there are also problems caused by humans. Among the villages, there may be those who do not welcome caravans. Some villages like to rob outsiders.

"We're leaving, see you next year!" Some Master Gu sat on top of the Gu worm and turned their bodies to say goodbye.

At the entrance of the village, many people gathered as they sent the caravan with their gazes.

Adults have more complex expressions.

“The path ahead is unexpected. In these difficult times, for those who can come to the village next year, how many faces are still familiar?”

“Whether it is in the merchant caravan or in the village, it is not easy to make a living.”

As the caravan went further and further away, as the crowd dispersed.

The cheerful and light atmosphere of the market also then disappeared. The original place that had set up tents and shops had now become a mess. The clumps were constantly being trampled by the crowd, the grass roots and the mud ground were being trampled down. Rainwater hits its surface, immediately forming mud and many small holes that hold muddy water. Besides, there is still a lot of rubbish left behind.

Fang Yuan stood on a remote hillside, watching the merchant caravan from afar alone. The merchant caravan was like a plump and colorful python, winding through a narrow mountain road under the gray heavy rain, slowly entering the dense mountain forest.

"Ah, heaven sends their blessings ..." Fang Yuan sighed lightly.

He held a buttery yellow paper umbrella, quietly standing in the rain.

Fang Yuan wore the simplest flax cloth clothes, his body was slender, his skin produced the pale white skin of a fifteen year old teenager, a plume of clean and short black hair that settled over his head. The ends of her hair slightly trembled in the wind under her umbrella.

While others condemned the weather, he lamented the timely appearance of rain.

He killed Jia Jin Sheng last night and cleared the scene, but since it happened so suddenly, there must have been a neglected area. Especially with the smell of blood, because the cave is not ventilated, the smell is not easily lost.

With this rain, it cleans the air and the environment, greatly reducing the chances of being exposed to odor tracking methods. The crack must have had a small stream of water flowing down, and once the fresh water vapor diluted the air, he would not be exposed for a while.

Of course, as time passed, the chances of being exposed increased.

In this world there were all sorts of Gu worms, and investigative methods abounded, even Fang Yuan only knew a portion of them.

The rain produced a pitter noise when it hit the yellow umbrella. Then following the shape of the umbrella, a stream of water flowed down onto the limestone under Fang Yuan's feet, hitting and creating a splash.

Looking at the caravan curve to the corner, completely disappearing into the forest, Fang Yuan showed no signs of relief, but instead looked grim.

“Although Jia Jin Sheng's cultivation is weak and has little talent, he has a special status. The caravan people were all busy with business, so no one knew that he was missing. But once some time passes, it will definitely get caught. At that time, Jia Fu would return to investigate, and the real challenge was back then.”

“The head of the Jia family deliberately arranged for Jia Jin Sheng and Jia Fu to be in the same caravan, he had deep intentions. In terms of cultivation, they were worlds apart. In terms of cunning, they were also incomparable. Such an arrangement was to deal a blow to Jia Jin Sheng and make him clean from reality, and live life in peace. At the same time he was testing Jia Fu's nature, because if he was too arrogant to Jia Jin Sheng, how could he hand over the position of clan head to him?”

“Jia Jin Sheng never really understood his father's intentions. Even though he had a bit of intelligence, he had only managed to scratch the surface of a merchant's wits, what a pity. Too bad that piece is so good.”

Fang Yuan felt regret in his heart. With five hundred years of experience, he could easily look past the surface and understand the true nature of the situation.

When he saw the discord between the two that night, he could tell the complicated relationship between Jia Jin Sheng and Jia Fu, and thus he had a vague plan formed in his heart from then on.

In his plan, Jia Jin Sheng was a very suitable pawn. His cultivation was weak but he held a high position in the caravan, and although he had some intelligence, he had little experience, so Fang Yuan could easily manipulate him.

Once controlled, these pawns would be very useful.

First, he can build a powerful smuggling network through his relationships, preparing to seize treasure from future murders.

Second, Fang Yuan could hide in the background and use the image wall to cause conflict among the three Qing Mao mountain families, causing a civil war and allowing him to be able to reap the rewards.

Third, Fang Yuan could rely on him to enter the interior of the Jia family. The dispute of the Jia family in the future led to a large-scale battle competition of Gu, it would be a huge affair with many benefits to obtain. Fang Yuan could utilize this to obtain the greatest reward for himself.

“My cultivation is still too low, severely limiting me in doing things. If there is a pawn for me to use, I can do some things that I cannot try on my own, not only convenient but also lower the risk of doing so. If I get hit, I can throw away the pawn and stay safe myself. ”

“The people around know the situation well and are loyal to the family, so they are not good at manipulating. Only an outsider like Jia Jin Sheng could be used more efficiently to carry out my plan. Unfortunately, I don't expect the Flower Wine Monk to leave behind a legacy of his strength. ”

The Flower Wine Monk was a rank five Master Gu, his legacy was definitely more valuable than this pawn.

Of course, it would be best if he could get the best of both worlds, but in the face of such a treasure, Jia Jin Sheng could no longer be controlled, so he had to be banished.

"Nothing will run smoothly forever in this world." Fang Yuan sighed and shook his head.

The legacy of the Flower Wine Monk appeared and disrupted Fang Yuan's initial plans. Moreover, after the changes to the picture wall, the videos and images disappeared all, only showing the lines written in blood, telling Fang Yuan to smash the picture wall and open the entrance of the cave. Following in his footsteps, he would be able to obtain an inheritance.

The blood writing only appeared for a moment before disappearing, and the wall of the image also turned back into the most ordinary mountain wall.

Fang Yuan spent the entire night clearing the killing grounds, and did not have time to break down the walls.

“Killing Jia Jin Sheng hastily, this will leave a lot of trouble for me in the future, and I am only safe for a while. Even though I managed to eliminate the evidence, there will definitely be problems coming for me in the future. In that case, I have to change the way I expose the Liquor worm. I also could not go to the secret cave behind the crack of the wall. I have to stay in the mountain village for some time in anticipation of the investigation in the near future. ”

Fang Yuan turned around and held his umbrella, walking in the rain towards the village.

“But this is fine too. I was able to spend a large amount of ancient stones during this period to refine an intermediate stage primeval essence. Using it, I can maintain my aperture and break through to the middle stage. Once I reach the middle stage, my strength will multiply, allowing me to gain the inheritance more easily and with greater confidence. ”

The legacy of a demon cultivator was not as smooth and gentle as that of a godly cultivator, because there were often dangerous trials and tasks, and if one could not pass through them, it was not as simple as that of a demon, they have to pay the price with their lives.

"The world is hard to predict, but this is exactly what makes it interesting." Fang Yuan smiled coldly.

The green mountain under the torrential rain elongated continuously and endlessly, the green mixed with gray, looking stifling and heavy.

A gust of wind blew, and the raindrops tilted slightly, hitting Fang Yuan's shoulder and attacking him with a burst of coldness.

He thought of Jia Jin Sheng again.

Sighing in her heart, she thought, “Jia Jin Sheng, actually I.. don't want to kill you.”.

What a waste of a good pawn.
