Changsheng starts from taking care of the painted skin master

Chapter 5: Sakyamuni and the Golden Cicada

"The county magistrate is furious, and Uncle Wang is mobilizing people to conduct a thorough investigation."

"I'm here to tell you to be careful. You just married a beautiful woman, and you may be targeted by that rapist!"

"I have to go on patrol. I'm leaving now!"

After Lin You finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

"Rape in a dream?"

Li Changsheng raised his eyebrows. There are really all kinds of birds in a big forest.

Zhong Sanniang was not surprised and said calmly: "There are countless monsters and demons in this world, with all kinds of strange abilities. It is not difficult to do this!"

"I've heard of a nightmare beast that has the ability to create dreams. It specifically goes into other people's dreams to make them have nightmares, and then takes the opportunity to devour their energy and spirit."

Li Changsheng asked: "Could it be that the murderer is the Nightmare Beast?"

"Probably not!"

Zhong Sanniang shook her head: "I have never heard that nightmare beasts are interested in women, nor have I heard that nightmare beasts will rape women in dreams."

"The murderer should have the ability to enter dreams or create dreams, but it's not just the Nightmare Beast that has this ability, other demons and monsters may also have it!"

"It might even be a human!"

"Master's wife, can you find the murderer?"

He didn't want to make any contribution, but he wanted to try out his golden finger.

If the murderer is a demon or monster, kill it to obtain the source point.

If the murderer is a human, you might as well kill him and see if you can get the source point.

It can also eliminate harm for the people and prevent more innocent girls from being harmed.

"do not know!"

Zhong Sanniang shook her head, she was not omniscient and omnipotent.

"You are on vacation now, and you are newlyweds, so don't think too much!"

She reminded him, "If you go to the county government to help investigate the case now, it will only be a thankless task and the gain will not outweigh the loss!"

"I see!"

He knew what his master's wife meant.

As a newlywed, instead of taking a vacation at home, you rush to the county government office to investigate a case?

Do you look down on the senior officials in the county government, thinking that they are all good-for-nothings and not as good as you, a newcomer, at investigating cases?

Or did he know that the county magistrate's daughter was robbed, and was busy showing off in order to gain the county magistrate's favor and get promoted?

"As long as you know!"

Zhong Sanniang said leisurely:

"As the saying goes, one should do his job when he is in a position to do his job, and not do his job when he is not in a position to do his job. Your most urgent task now is to cultivate well."

"As long as you have enough strength, all difficulties will be solved!"

"Master's wife, you are really my mother."

Li Changsheng was speechless.

He really didn't want to go to the county government.

He just asked casually, if you know the murderer, just go and solve it.

"You dislike my age?"

Zhong Sanniang narrowed her narrow and beautiful eyes slightly, giving her a dangerous and deathly gaze.

"I do not have."

Without the slightest hesitation, he said firmly:
"In my heart, Master's Wife will always be eighteen, a hundred thousand times more beautiful than the fairies in heaven!"

"Glib tongue!"

After giving him a slap on the head, Zhong Sanniang said angrily:

"I can tell at once that you are not honest!"

Li Changsheng: "."

I can tell at a glance that you are not a human being!

Bounce my head?
I’ll beat you to death on the head later!

Calming his mind, Li Changsheng took out the Vajra Cicada Skill.

The legend goes that in ancient times, there was a vicious beast called the Golden Cicada, which lived on a Bodhi tree and happened to meet the Buddha Shakyamuni who was attaining enlightenment.

The golden cicada was baptized by Buddhism, understood the Diamond Sutra, and cultivated the indestructible supernatural powers of Vajra, and was named the Great Vajra Cicada.

The Great Vajra Cicada Kung Fu was learned by observing the Great Vajra Cicada.

As the saying goes, "a cicada sheds its shell," people regard the cicada shedding its shell as a symbol of longevity and rebirth.

Zhong Sanniang was seriously injured and died, but was reborn in adversity and turned into a Painted Skin Ghost. She possessed two magical powers, fake form and Vajra, all thanks to this Great Vajra Cicada Skill.

Although both are breathing techniques and standing meditation, the Vajra Cicada Technique is a hundred times more exquisite and profound than the Crouching Tiger Technique, and contains infinite mysteries.

"Dragon Pattern Grade Leather Refining Technique, this is already a top-level divine skill. I wonder if this was acquired by Master's Wife through chance, or if it was inherited from the sect family?"

If it is the latter, then the master's wife's background is very strong.

He didn't ask any more questions and read it carefully.

Zhong Sanniang held her cheeks with her fair jade hands, inhaling the pure yang energy emitted by Li Changsheng, her eyes full of enjoyment, waiting for Li Changsheng to ask her for advice.

Li Changsheng looked at the information bar he named 'Panel' and saw the words 'Great Vajra Cicada Skill' appearing, and immediately added the two source points.

One of these two source points is obtained by killing the ghost cat, and the other is obtained by wearing the master's wife's clothes.

The previous Crouching Tiger Kung Fu was also on the panel, but he wanted to learn better martial arts, so he did not add the only two remaining source points.

He went to the county government office to receive martial arts training just for show, and at the same time handed over the corpse of the ghost cat in exchange for credit.

Not to mention other merits, the reward was a hundred taels of silver.

It will only be issued after the county magistrate reviews it.

hum!
With the addition of the two source points, countless flashes of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he understood the mysteries of the Vajra Zen.

It felt like I had been practicing hard for two and a half months.

"call!"

"Suck!"

The Vajra Zen breathing method has become an instinct, and each inhalation and exhalation perfectly matches the breathing frequency of the Vajra Cicada.

He felt a warm current flowing out of his body, soaking his internal organs, limbs and bones, and finally blending into his skin.

Under this warm current, his body became stronger, especially his skin became tougher.

A mysterious rune shaped like a golden cicada appeared on the back of his hand, and he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Is this the dragon pattern?"

"Not bad!"

Zhong Sanniang stood up and walked over with a fragrant breeze, her beautiful eyes full of shock, and the way she looked at him was as if she was looking at a monster.

"You learned it just by watching it once? You even developed the dragon pattern!"

He skipped the topic and asked, "Master's Wife, what is the difference between dragon pattern, tiger pattern, leopard pattern and snake pattern?"

"This pattern is actually the manifestation of the law of the great way, the imprint of the rules of heaven and earth. The more patterns there are, the stronger it is."

Zhong Sanniang said carefully: "Like demons and monsters, they are born with various patterns and marks, and are born with the ability to perform corresponding magical powers."

She pointed at the rune on the back of Li Changsheng's hand.
"Can you count how many Dao patterns this giant Vajra Cicada has?"

Li Changsheng counted carefully, "There are thirty-six!"

Zhong Sanniang nodded: "Nine snake patterns, eighteen leopard patterns, twenty-seven tiger patterns, and thirty-six dragon patterns."

"There is an eight-step technique called Chasing the Cicada. The rune condensed is also in the shape of a cicada, but it only has nine runes, so it is a snake-marked technique!"

"Your dragon pattern has not yet been fully formed."

"When you condense nine dragon patterns, it means that the skin realm is complete."

“The same goes for snake, leopard and tiger prints.”

Li Changsheng suddenly realized and asked doubtfully:
"Master's Wife, why don't the other warriors who entered the country have runes on their hands?"

"Runes can be hidden. As long as you recite them silently in your mind, they can be hidden in the body!" As his mind moved, the Vajra Cicada Dragon Pattern was indeed hidden and disappeared without a trace.

He looked at the panel information.

[Name: Li Changsheng]

[Cultivation: First Realm (Early Dragon Pattern Leather Realm)]

[Magic Power: False Form]

[Martial arts: Great Vajra Zen has not been mastered (2/10), Five Tigers Breaking Door Knife has been perfected. The sword power has not been mastered (2/100)]

[Source point: 0]

"You still need eight source points to get started with the Great Vajra Zen, let alone the sword power."

"Source point!"

He now has two confirmed ways to obtain it:
One is to slay demons and eliminate evil.

One is to practice dual cultivation with the master's wife.

As for whether killing the evildoers could get the source, he couldn't be sure.

It is unrealistic to go and slay demons now. It is hard to find them in the city. There are many in the wild, but you might fail if you are not careful.

It’s still the fastest and easiest here, Master’s wife.

At least in the early stages.

Who made the master's wife a perfect second-level ghost?

He raised his head and looked at Zhong Sanniang, who had a charming figure and natural beauty, and whose beautiful eyes were always fixed on him:
"Master's Wife, I need you to help me practice!"

"What don't you understand?"

Just as Zhong Sanniang was about to instruct him on the key points and difficulties of the Great Vajra Zen, he picked her up and ran towards the room.

"Uh"

She was slightly startled, then hooked her arm around his neck and smiled charmingly:
"You little rascal, now you know how good Master's Wife is?"

She was willing to follow Li Changsheng, not because of her friendship with old man Li, but because of Li Changsheng's nine generations of pure yang body.

Although Li Changsheng's behavior was a bit unprofessional, young people are hot-tempered. They just got married last night and are eager to get married.

She understands too.

Besides, she is aware of her own charm.

It was normal for Li Changsheng to be obsessed and unable to extricate himself.

but……

she likes!
She felt that if Li Changsheng maintained this momentum.

It would take her less than two days to break through and advance to the third level.

"Where is it small?"

Li Changsheng raised his eyebrows, looking dissatisfied, and said in a heavier tone:
"I'm already eighteen!"

"Yes, Changsheng is already a real man!"

Her watery eyes became more charming and attractive, as if she was thinking of Li Changsheng's donkey-like goods.

Fill your heart with happiness.

Newlyweds.

Changsheng rings the bell.

Li Changsheng practiced Vajra Zen at home.

The vajra is wielded like the wind, unstoppable.

His relationship with Zhong Sanniang became increasingly close and deep; they were inseparable and very happy.

Nanshan County Government Office.

After the head constable Wang Lin learned about the situation of Dong Ya, the daughter of County Magistrate Dong Yuanren, he immediately began to investigate.

In the dream, the flower thief tortured Dong Ya in every way.

If Dong Ya was not the daughter of the county magistrate, she would have thought it was a nightmare or a wet dream if she found him weak and abnormal.

Unfortunately, Dong Ya couldn't remember what the other person looked like and couldn't search based on appearance.

Wang Lin guessed that the flower thief was most likely a repeat offender and the person he violated was definitely not just Dong Ya.

I'm afraid there are still many people who have been violated in Nanshan County.

The person who was violated not only felt mentally weakened, but also felt like he was having a nightmare.

This kind of thing is difficult to talk about, and no one was killed. Most ordinary people don't take it seriously, and they won't publicize it, let alone report it to the police.

If the flower thief had not violated the county magistrate's daughter in his dream.

They may have been kept in the dark and had no idea that there was such a special flower thief hiding in Nanshan County.

"Yang Fugui!"

Wang Lin shouted.

"My subordinate is here!"

A middle-aged male constable stepped out and bowed in response.

"Take your men and search the surrounding areas with Dong's residence as the center to find other possible victims."

"At the same time, we should do a good job of publicity, call on victims to actively report the case, strive to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible, and restore peace to Nanshan County!"

"Yes!"

Yang Fugui led the team away immediately.

"Niu Ping An!"

Wang Lin continued to make arrangements: "You lead the patrol team and at the same time publicize to the people and encourage victims to actively report the crime!"

"Yes!"

Clues are scarce now, and more clues may only be obtained by finding more victims.

The emperor does not bear the painstaking people.

After a day's effort, they found five more victims.

Two of them received information and took the initiative to report the case.

"Including Miss Dong, there are now six victims in Nanshan County, here and here."

Wang Lin marked the locations of the victims on the map and found that a circle was formed. The murderer was most likely in the center of the circle.

The murderer raped in a dream, relying on the ability to enter dreams.

This ability is usually limited in range.

This method is useful even in ordinary homicide cases.

Not saying it's 100% accurate.

At least it's a clue that can be further investigated.

Wang Lin saw that it was getting late and everyone looked tired, so he said:

"Everyone is tired after a day's work. Go back and have a good rest. Regain your energy. Tomorrow's task will be even heavier!"

"Yes!"

The detectives said goodbye and left.

"call!"

Lin You walked out of the government office, looked at the moon above his head, and exhaled.
"Damn, I'm so tired!"

He looked towards Du Kang Street again, and said with envy:

"Brother Sheng is probably already holding his beautiful bride in his arms and ascending to the paradise of bliss at this moment!"
