That night, Chen Zheng had a rare good night's sleep.
There were no nightmares, no confusion at the beginning of time travel, I had a peaceful and steady sleep and slept until dawn.
After getting up, he fetched water and washed up and headed straight to the canteen.
Wu San and He Daming's two followers appeared on time. After a full meal, he said goodbye to the two of them and returned to the sparse forest near their residence, and began to cut down shrubs and branches.
The fence wall of the small courtyard where I live is now seven or eight feet tall, just enough to cover the yard and protect privacy.
However, because he had not lived in a long time and had no one to take care of him, and some big holes were broken by someone. He was planning to repair it first and then officially start his own cultivation plan.
It is not difficult to repair a large number of branches when you use local materials.
In less than half an hour, all the gaps in the wall were repaired. Chen Zheng walked around the outside of the yard, and after confirming that he could not see the situation in the yard from outside, he nodded with satisfaction and prepared to go back to the house.
"Wait, stay!"
However, at this moment, a sudden call floated from not far away.
Chen Zheng's eyes turned and saw a thick and unkempt man wearing a purple-patterned robe walking towards him with a smile:
"Are you a new senior sect Chen Zheng?"
The advanced scholars who were promoted normally were all masters of internal training who started practicing the internal training. The original owner seemed to have some impression of the memory, and Chen Zheng was alert:
"It's me, you are."
"I'm in Xu Jiehu, living in the 9th courtyard."
The man who claimed to be Xu Jiehu laughed and raised the deer legs in his hand:
"It's rare to hear that a Tiange Man was promoted to a senior ecclesiastical by his wife. I was curious and came over to take a look. This deer leg is a ceremony to congratulate the promotion, so don't dislike it."
The other party's appearance looked normal, and with the fact that he raised his hand and did not hit the smiling person, Chen Zheng shied:
"You are so kind. I'm just a newcomer, so why are you so embarrassed?"
Xu Jiehu threw the deer leg directly: "What's the matter? Just accept it."
Chen Zheng, who was short and it was really hard to refuse, took this fresh deer leg and said politely:
"The house is simple. If Brother Xu doesn't dislike it, why not come in and talk?"
"Okay, then I'll disturb you."
Xu Jiehu agreed readily and invited him to the yard and enter the house.
Sit down and look around, he spoke:
"This room is much cleaner than where I am, but there are several empty yards. Why did Brother Chen choose here?"
"Nothing else, it's just a quiet place."
Chen Zheng heard something, and his heart moved slightly:
"What, is there any problem with this yard?"
Xu Jiehu unexpectedly asked back: "The person who arranged a residence for you didn't tell you?"
Chen Zheng was confused: "What did you say?"
Xu Jiehu said meaningfully:
"The person living in the yard of No. 17 next door is Zhong Ming. This person is also a senior scholar with an old experience. It was because of the previous practice process that went wrong and became possessed by the devil, causing the heart veins to be damaged.
After becoming obsessed with the infatuation, he has been living in a state of recuperation. But I heard that his physical and mental state have been getting worse and worse recently, so it is best for you to keep some snacks on weekdays."
"Going into a devil?"
Chen Zheng felt a little stern when he heard this.
Those who have alienated bodies are walking on tightropes in their practice. Once they get possessed, they will often lead to the aggravation of physical alienation and the risk of losing control.
With such an unstable factor living next door, who can sleep soundly?
The key is that the inner priest who took him to choose a residence did not remind him in a word!
Xu Jiehu saw something, and said:
"You were promoted directly from a low-level believer. It is said that you were rewarded with the treasure-mesh pill by your wife, and you will inevitably be envious. The man deliberately did not tell you, and he was just envious and jealous, waiting to see you laugh at.
But there is no need to worry too much. Zhong Ming is also a master at the level of dirty training. It is not so easy to lose control. At worst, you can apply and change the yard."
Human hearts are so fucking sinister
Chen Zheng, who understood that he had been put on a slight move, bowed to Xu Jiehu and thanked him:
"Thank you, brother, for your advice, otherwise I will be kept in the dark."
Xu Jiehu smiled dismissively:
"It's okay. Before joining the church, everyone was suffering and should benefit and help each other. They should be intrigue in this corner. If you have any problems in the future, you can come and find me."
Chen Zheng nodded: "It must be, it must."
There was nothing to say next, both sides were just talking nonsense.
After Chen Zheng asked, Xu Jiehu, who was very experienced, roughly introduced the situation of other senior church members to him, and also mentioned some daily responsibilities, tasks, etc.
Currently, less than ten senior sects in the permanent base, including Chen Zheng, lead ordinary sects to practice, or garrison villages, patrol mountains and hunt, and perform their duties.
Needless to say, the villages stationed in the villages are outside the mountains and forests not far from the stronghold, and there are about 2,000 people living in them.
In the border areas, the imperial court has been in a state of power. Most of these people are the population that the Tianmu Divine Sect has repeatedly captured in recent years. The entire village is equivalent to the logistics base of the stronghold, providing food, livestock, etc. for the church members, so people also need to be stationed for a long time.
It is easier to patrol and hunt, rely on the mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. The forest behind the branch base stretches for dozens of miles, with birds, animals, herbs and mountain products inside, which can barely be regarded as a treasure land of resources.
In addition to these, another part of the qualifications and performances are appointed by Mrs. Wumu to go out to other cities to perform various tasks, mainly lurking, assassinating, and plundering people.
When Chen Zheng heard this, he was very moved and felt that this seemed to be a way to leave this ghost place.
But he has just practiced his skin now, and it seems that he is still far from trying to get to this point.
In this way, the two sides talked for a long time, and after the guests and hosts were all happy, Xu Jiehu got up and said goodbye.
Chen Zheng also got up enthusiastically and took him to the entrance of the yard, watching the other party leave.
When Xu Jiehu's figure completely disappeared from sight, Chen Zheng's smile suddenly faded away and his brows frowned slightly
Although the other party seemed generous and malice, and even mentioned the matter about the neighbor next door, he always felt something was wrong.
In his opinion, except for the newly captured people in this ghost place, most of the other high-level believers have been brainwashed by doctrine and distorted their thoughts. Not to mention all the wicked people, there are probably not many people with normal values.
This Xu Jiehu and him are not close to each other, why are they so kind?
"Forget it, no matter whether he is good or bad."
"The blacksmith must be strong himself. If there is anything wrong, just talk with a knife!"
Without worrying about this little thing, Chen Zheng took the knife back to the yard, took a deep breath, and immediately began the practice of "Shura Breaking Sword".
