I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 131 Break his legs!
Question: What happens to the royal bloodline after a dozen generations?
Zhang Chen thought of Uncle Liu who sold straw sandals.

The young man in front of him had clean and tidy clothes, but they were full of patches. He definitely didn't look like a rich man.

But even such a down-and-out young man, because of the other party's identity, could easily learn opportunities that Zhang Chen had to spend all his time and effort, and spend countless money to get. Zhang Chen had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Facing the young man's curious gaze, Zhang Chen shook his head: "I don't have much to introduce myself. My family is just a commoner. I just made some money from business, and then came here to become a disciple, thinking about improving myself."

"Are you a civilian?" Chai Chuanxin's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and his attitude suddenly turned cold. After closing the door, he said to Zhang Chen: "The master is in the room, go by yourself."

Then he went to read under the eaves next to him.

Zhang Chen was stunned when he saw the sudden change in Chai Chuanxin's attitude. This kid was too realistic, or it could be said that the attitude of the nobles towards the common people was too realistic.

Fortunately, Zhang Chen was too lazy to argue with the other party, and there was no conflict of interest between the two parties. As long as the other party did not harm him, he did not want to cause trouble.

"Master, I'm here!" Zhang Chen shouted while standing in the yard.

Han Suzhen walked out of the room with a rag in her hand. She looked at Zhang Chen while wiping her hands. After seeing Zhang Chen clearly, she was stunned.

Compared with seven days ago, Zhang Chen now looked completely different.

First of all, Zhang Chen is a god who possesses power beyond that of ordinary people. Naturally, he has an inexplicable advantage psychologically, and an inexplicable condescending attitude, which together form a very unique temperament.

He possessed abilities beyond those of ordinary people, so even though he was not a noble, he did not feel inferior at all when facing nobles.

What can aristocrats do? As long as they have the power to decide the lives of aristocrats, they will naturally have an inexplicable sense of superiority.

Secondly, Zhang Chen's body underwent two transformations. Although it did not increase his strength or defense, it made his body more perfect and repaired his congenital defects.

As the saying goes: No one is perfect. After a person is born, he will have more or less physical defects, but Zhang Chen has transformed into a god and demon in his transformations, and his human defects have become fewer and fewer.

The most important thing is that Zhang Chen has made great progress in practicing Qi in the past few days. Magical power has gathered in his body, and naturally changes have occurred.

In Han Suzhen's eyes, Zhang Chen was particularly vivid and eye-catching at this moment. If the world is an ink painting, then the people and objects in the yard are all black and white, and only the boy in front of him is colorful, which attracts people's attention at first sight.

To be more precise, it is not only colorful, but also alive.

"This young man is not simple!" A thought flashed through Han Suzhen's mind.

In just seven days, Zhang Chen's aura changed so much. Han Suzhen was no fool and noticed something unusual.

"You've changed a lot in the past few days." Han Suzhen hung the rag on the rack, sat on the round stool in the yard, then waved at Zhang Chen, motioning Zhang Chen to sit down.

Zhang Chen placed the seven or eight paper packages he had bought on the table. Han Suzhen sniffed the smell of meat and pastries and pretended to scold him, "Didn't I tell you last time not to bring anything?"

"It's just some snacks, nothing expensive. I bought them thinking of helping Master to replenish his body. It can be regarded as a token of my gratitude from my disciple." Zhang Chen said respectfully.

Han Suzhen didn't comment and changed the subject, "Have you made any progress in the past seven days? Have you fallen behind?"

"Please let the master test me." Zhang Chen said.

Han Suzhen was not polite and began to test Zhang Chen.

Because Zhang Chen had just started learning the Huangting Sutra, he had naturally mastered the above text and the meaning of all the text. So no matter how Han Suzhen tested him, Zhang Chen could answer fluently.

However, the further they turned the pages, the more serious Han Suzhen's expression became. She began to dictate to Zhang Chen and refused to let Zhang Chen read the book.

Zhang Chen picked up the pen and wrote. Although the handwriting was not very neat, the outline of the character was already visible.

"How is it possible! How did you manage to memorize all 10,000 words in just seven days? Is there really such a thing as photographic memory in this world?"

Han Suzhen was skeptical and didn't believe that Zhang Chen had mastered the entire book's knowledge in such a short time, so she threw away the Huangting Sutra and took out another book and asked Zhang Chen to read.

Zhang Chen read very easily, without any delay, and recited one article after another. Han Suzhen looked at Zhang Chen in front of her, as if she had seen a ghost. Finally, when Zhang Chen recited the fifth article, Han Suzhen waved her hand to interrupt him and said, "That's enough, don't read anymore."

Zhang Chen stopped reading and looked at Han Suzhen: "Master, please teach me."

Han Suzhen stared at Zhang Chen for a long time before she said helplessly, "Are you still human?"

She felt that it was impossible for a person to write down 10,000 words in just seven days and still be able to grasp their meaning and even write them fluently. This was like memorizing 10,000 words in a week. Is it possible?
"..." Zhang Chen was speechless after hearing this, not knowing how to answer Han Suzhen's question. He was not really a human being now, because the heart was no longer important to him. The crystal core in his body was the key to determining whether he could survive.

What normal person can turn into a vampire bat and fly around?
"The Huangting Sutra covers all the characters in the world. You have caught up with others' efforts of four or five years in just seven days. You just need to focus on practicing calligraphy. Only when you can write well can you be considered a real scholar." Han Suzhen looked at Zhang Chen, "Then you should recite classics, gradually study, memorize the handed-down chapters, and then find a way to get closer to the officialdom step by step. It's a pity that our family has fallen to this point now. Most of our connections can no longer be used. Otherwise, I can recommend you to be an official and gradually change your status."

"This world emphasizes recommending filial and honest people. If you want to be an official, you need someone to recommend you. Nobles hold low-ranking official positions, and they don't take those low-ranking positions seriously. They may even disdain to take them for fear of losing face. It's like a firewood carrier. Even though he can't afford to eat, he will definitely refuse to be a clerk if asked to do it." Zhang Chen felt a little emotional.

"But as long as we study hard, we may have opportunities in the future." Han Suzhen's voice pulled Zhang Chen out of his contemplation: "Do you have any doubts about your studies these days?"

Zhang Chen certainly had his doubts. After all, although he had analyzed the text content he had obtained, more doubts also arose in his mind.

The master and the disciple were talking in the courtyard, and Chen Sanliang's voice came from the house: "Chuan Xin, come into the house, I will explain the classics to you."

Chai Chuanxin stood up, without even looking at Zhang Chen, and walked straight into the house.

Thus, a scene was formed in the courtyard: Chen Sanliang and Chai Chuanxin were inside the house, while Zhang Chen and his master were outside the house. The two taught each other's knowledge and ignored each other. Han Suzhen taught Zhang Chen for two hours, then went to the kitchen to cook, leaving Zhang Chen in the courtyard to understand the principles explained by Han Suzhen.

After all, he had received nine years of education in his previous life, so it was not difficult for him to understand Han Suzhen's explanation in the way of his previous life.

An hour later, the aroma of rice wafted in, and the aroma of stewed meat also spread.

The rice and stewed meat were placed on the table. Chen Sanliang called out to Chai Chuanxin and said, "Chuanxin, let's eat here at noon today."

Chai Chuanxin did not refute, which was considered as his agreement with Chen Sanliang's words.

"Zhang Chen, come and have dinner."

At this time, the master brought a plate of pickles from the kitchen and shouted to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was about to move his feet when he heard Chai Chuanxin suddenly speak, his voice full of disbelief. At this moment, his knees softened and he knelt down in front of Chen Sanliang: "Master, I am an unfilial disciple. I have something to say. Why did you teach a commoner to read? Now you even want to let a commoner sit at the table and eat with us. I cannot accept this."

The air flow in the courtyard seemed to have come to a standstill. Zhang Chen paused, slowly clenched his fists in his sleeves, and looked through the door at Chai Chuanxin who was kneeling on the ground, with traces of anger rolling in his eyes.

"Zhang Chen, I won't keep you for dinner today. Go back and eat! Come back after you're done." Chen Sanliang looked at Zhang Chen.

"Bang~"

At this moment, Han Suzhen suddenly threw the pickles in her hand to the ground, and the soup spilled all over the ground. At this moment, Han Suzhen suddenly raised her voice, no longer as gentle as before: "Chen Sanliang, what do you mean by this? Why can your disciple stay to eat, but my disciple has to leave because of his words? The firewood, rice, oil and salt you eat, which one was not bought by my disciple, why do you treat him like this?"

"A rich family is a rich family, a wooden door is a wooden door. How can he, a poor man, be compared with Chuanxin? I could have tolerated it because you took him in for a living and taught him to read and write. But now you let him stay and eat with Chuanxin. This is the biggest insult to Chuanxin!" Chen Sanliang's voice was full of anger.

"If you have the guts, don't eat the food my apprentice brought you." Han Suzhen refused to give in, her voice full of coldness.

"It's unreasonable! In short, he can't break the rules again today." Chen Sanliang didn't say he didn't want to eat, he just said he didn't want to keep Zhang Chen for dinner.

Han Suzhen wanted to argue again, but Zhang Chen grabbed her wrist and advised her softly, "Master, don't argue! A harmonious family is the most important thing. It has not been easy for you and Master to come this far through all the ups and downs. I have already booked a meal with my friends at the restaurant, and I cannot break the appointment. Please don't get angry. It's not worth getting angry over such a small matter."

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Han Suzhen was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes and her body was shaking. She looked at Zhang Chen and sighed after a long time: "Master, I'm sorry for you."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "It's okay! It's just a meal. It doesn't matter where you eat it."

Zhang Chen comforted Han Suzhen, looked at Chen Chuanxin who was kneeling on the ground, then turned around and walked out the door.

But as soon as he walked out of the door, the smile on Zhang Chen's face suddenly disappeared. The anger in his eyes was as dark as water, and a hint of murderous intent was flowing.

"Did you see everything?" Zhang Chen summoned the fox fairy Nannan and asked in a gloomy voice.

"It's no wonder Chen Chuanxin is like this. This is the way the human race is. The gap between nobles and commoners can never be bridged." Fox Fairy Nannan advised, and then her eyes rolled around:

"Do you want me to empty his house or kill him? Those martial arts masters are very quick-witted. I may not be their match, but for a mere scholar, it would only take a flick of my finger to kill them."

"Look at how poor he is. If his family had money, would he wear such tattered clothes?" Zhang Chen smiled coldly.

The vixen said strangely, "He is a poor noble after all. Maybe his ancestors have some good stuff passed down. Don't underestimate him. As for killing him, I think we should not do that. Nobles die unexpectedly. Whether it is the Pingbian Palace or the Jianxiaosi, they must get to the bottom of it. If I take action and I am not found by the Jianxiaosi, it will be fine. If I am found by the Jianxiaosi, I will definitely be targeted. The Jianxiaosi's eyes are everywhere. We are developing in secret now. It will not be good if we provoke the Jianxiaosi."

Zhang Chen suddenly remembered the 12th-order mystery of the founding of the Great Victory Dynasty after hearing this. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Keep an eye on him! When we find his home, I'll go over and take a look. If we can find something interesting, that would be great. If not, break one of his legs, and I'll be able to have some peace and quiet while studying."

After instructing the vixen, Zhang Chen went straight to the restaurant nearby, ordered three side dishes, and began to eat leisurely.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Chen waited for a while, and saw that Chai Chuanxin did not come out. He guessed that the other party would continue to study in the afternoon, so he did not get impatient, but ordered another pot of tea and drank it slowly.

Zhang Chen drank an afternoon tea. As it was getting dark, he saw Chai Chuanxin walking out of Wangjia Lane. The vixen winked at Zhang Chen and followed him.

Half an hour later, the vixen reported back, "That kid's family isn't here. He's an outsider who came from the south to study. What should we do now?"

"Break one of his legs and let him rest for a few months. I don't want to see him again in the days to come." Zhang Chen said to the vixen.

The vixen looked apprehensive when she heard this: "There are traces of the Procuratorate everywhere in this city. If I break his legs out of thin air, I might be targeted by the Procuratorate. Don't let that cause you trouble."

This time, she finally felt guilty.

"It's not like I haven't dealt with people from the Procuratorate before!" Zhang Chen replied nonchalantly, and then scolded the vixen: "Why are you so stupid? Why did you just break his leg? If a pillar happened to fall, or he accidentally fell from a high place, or his leg was broken by a beam while he was sleeping, there are many ways to do it. Why are you so crude?"

Upon hearing this, the vixen glanced at Zhang Chen and thought to herself, "This guy is really shady in his work!"

The next moment, he disappeared in the restaurant like a gust of wind.

Zhang Chen also threw down the tea money and disappeared in the crowd.

Let’s talk about Chai Chuanxin. After returning to the yard he rented, he went up to the second-floor attic and looked at the scenery outside. Suddenly, he felt a push from behind and then fell down.

Then the vixen took advantage of the night, picked up a piece of roof beast hanging on the beam, and with a click, hit it accurately on the leg.

The roof beast was something she had secretly poked down and then fixed back up.
