Chapter 68
During this year, all the cultivation of Chen Changsheng disappeared.
The Demon Emperor also began to rebirth.
Both of them had no cultivation. Two mortals came to this small town and began to transform.
When they first came to the town, the townspeople thought Chen Changsheng was a scholar who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, and the Demon Emperor was his maid.
The two did not explain, and kept using this identity that others arranged for them.
So Chen Changsheng became a scholar and wrote some poems, which spread from the town to the county, and from the county to the imperial city, and were highly respected by literati.
This dynasty is the Dali Dynasty, with a population of hundreds of millions, which is a medium-sized dynasty. It is said that the third prince likes Chen Changsheng's poems very much.
This year, Chen Changsheng has been feeling what the senior brother said to him, but he can never touch that realm.
Chen Changsheng has no cultivation, and he can't cast any spells. He can only cast the power of the word.
Fortunately, there has been no trouble in this small town. The townspeople are simple and honest. The old neighbor often gives Chen Changsheng the fish he caught. The unmarried girl from Aunt Wang's house next door often gives Chen Changsheng delicious food, with admiration in her eyes.
But not everyone is a good person. There are also bullies who run rampant in the village, that is Zhang the butcher who sells pork at the vegetable market.
Zhang the butcher relied on his second uncle who was the county magistrate to cheat on weights, bully men and women, and do all kinds of evil.
The townspeople dared to be angry but dared not speak out. One was that they were afraid of the county magistrate behind Zhang the butcher. Another was that Zhang the butcher was tall and strong, full of flesh, and he killed pigs all year round. No one dared to mess with him. This guy was in his forties, but he liked girls in their twenties. All the girls of this age in the town were molested by him.
Aunt Wang's girl was also troubled by him and wanted to jump into the river many times.
But he was stopped by the townspeople and failed to jump. Many girls who were forced into his home and abused by him had already jumped into the river or were secretly sold to brothels.
Chen Changsheng had long been fed up with this guy and decided to teach him a lesson today.
Chen Changsheng came to the meat stall of Zhang the Butcher at Caishikou and looked at Zhang the Butcher who was cutting meat diligently. He said,"Give me ten pounds of lean meat to make the sauce. Don't see any fat." Zhang the Butcher looked up and saw that it was a scholar who moved here a year ago. Although the two had never met before, Zhang the Butcher didn't like him because many widows and young wives had flirted with him since Chen Changsheng moved here.
For Zhang the Butcher who wanted to do this but had always used force, it was undoubtedly a threat.
If Chen Changsheng had not been innocent with those women, Zhang the Butcher would have wanted to sneak into Chen Changsheng's house and kill him with a butcher knife.
Moreover, the maidservant beside Chen Changsheng was as beautiful as a fairy, and was incomparable to those women in the town. Butcher Zhang had long wanted to kidnap her, to enjoy her first, and then give her to his uncle, the county magistrate.
Seeing Chen Changsheng coming to buy meat, Butcher Zhang picked up his knife and removed the lean meat, and cut it into small pieces to make the sauce.
After cutting, he packed the meat and handed it to Chen Changsheng, but Chen Changsheng didn't even look at it, and said,"It's not over yet, give me another ten pounds of fat meat, cut it into the sauce, and don't see any lean meat." Butcher
Zhang was angry when he heard it, but ten pounds of meat was a lot of money after all, so he could only take the fat meat and started cutting it with a grunt.
Butcher Zhang cut twenty pounds of meat in one breath, sweat dripping from his forehead, and he was panting heavily.
"It's ready!"
Butcher Zhang threw the meat in front of Chen Changsheng and asked for money.
"Ten ingots of silver in total!"
Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said,"Don't worry, cut another ten pounds of cartilage for me to make the sauce. No lean meat or fat."
The smile on Zhang the butcher's face gradually disappeared. He looked at Chen Changsheng coldly and said loudly:
"You are looking for trouble, aren't you?"
As soon as these words came out, the originally bustling market suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked here. The townspeople were afraid of Zhang the Butcher and wanted to see who had angered him.
But they saw Chen Changsheng sitting on a chair with a leisurely look on his face.
Zhang the Butcher in front of him was holding two butcher knives in his hands, looking at Chen Changsheng furiously.
"Boy, remember that I was holding two butcher knives and slashing at Penglai East Road from the South City Gate for three days and three nights without blinking. I killed people and Buddhas. Do you know what you are doing?"
Chen Changsheng heard this and asked,"I didn't blink for three days and three nights, what can't my eyes do?"
Zhang the butcher was stunned, and then said angrily,"I said I killed for three days and three nights, and you asked me if my eyes were dry. Boy, today I will let you know what will happen if you mess with me."
After that, Zhang the butcher rushed out with two butcher knives and slashed at Chen Changsheng.
Zhang the butcher was a big fat man, and the ground trembled with every step he took. Seeing the murderous aura all over his body, many people covered their eyes, not daring to watch the scene of Chen Changsheng being cut into pieces. Chen Changsheng did not dodge, but smiled lightly and said lightly,"There is a watermelon peel under Zhang the butcher's feet."
As soon as he finished speaking, a town resident who was eating watermelons at the melon stall next to him accidentally threw a watermelon rind. Butcher Zhang stepped on it and instantly flew out, falling flat on his face. Several of his front teeth were knocked out.
The butcher knife also slipped from his hand and fell to the side.
Butcher Zhang endured the pain and got up from the ground. He looked at Chen Changsheng who was leisurely on the side and was furious.
He swung his fist and hit Chen Changsheng.
When everyone saw this punch, they all widened their mouths.
Butcher Zhang had killed many people with this pair of fists. Even martial artists could not withstand his punch, let alone the delicate Chen Changsheng in front of him.
It can only be said that it was a coincidence that Butcher Zhang did not cut Chen Changsheng into pieces, but stepped on the watermelon rind. With this punch, I'm afraid Chen Changsheng would die.
""Run, Mr. Chen!"
Aunt Wang from the next door who was buying vegetables shouted at Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng looked at the fist attacking him and said again:"Butcher Zhang is powerless." Just as the words fell. Bang!
Zhang the butcher's fist landed on Chen Changsheng's body.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Chen Changsheng did not move at all.
The fist that hit Chen Changsheng was like he had not eaten.
Seeing this, Zhang the butcher's pupils shrank.
This is impossible!
Even a martial artist who has practiced martial arts for decades cannot take his punch so easily, how can this thin scholar in front of him do it!
Immediately, Zhang the butcher took three steps at a time and raised his fist to attack Chen Changsheng again.
Chen Changsheng stood up and lightly dodged Zhang the butcher's punch. Zhang the butcher had just used all his strength and could not retract his strength at this time.
Puff!
Zhang the butcher hit his head against the corner of the wall beside him, and his body fell heavily. Blood flowed from his forehead, and instantly turned into a pool of blood.
Everyone was stunned. The brave ones stepped forward and touched Zhang the butcher's breath, and then their faces changed, and they screamed:
"Butcher Zhang is dead!!!"
