I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 49: Playing tricks (rd update, please read later)

"There is a misty feeling between the sky and the earth, as if it is a foggy day, and also a bit like a cloudy day after rain. It is really weird." Zhang Chen walked in the mountains, looking at the thick fog between the sky and the earth. The dew condensed in the air and fell on the grass and trees, revealing a vibrant vitality.

"It's over. I'm afraid that the water veins underground have been affected and are being sucked out by the dragon energy, so there is fog. Is this the last rebound of heaven and earth before the disaster? These drops of fog condense and benefit all living things in the world. It is also the last gift of heaven and earth before the disaster." Zhang Chen looked at his clothes that were a little wet, a serious look in his eyes, and muttered to himself.

Zhang Chen drove the cart through the village and did not attract any attention. But when he passed the entrance of the village, Zhang Chen was suddenly stunned. He saw from a distance that Zhang Taowei was surrounded by a group of young men. However, at this time, Zhang Taowei was standing in the crowd, muttering to himself, with a large group of young men kneeling at his feet.

At this time, Zhang Taowei raised his hands high and shouted to the group of young men kneeling on the ground: "I am going to exorcise the ghost!"

Then Zhang Taowei shouted, "Heaven and earth, Three Pure Ones, lend me your power!"

I saw "Zhang Taowei" clapping his hands left and right, his fingers waving in the air, muttering to himself, "I'll beat you to death", "I'll catch you", and then his fingers swung, and suddenly a fire appeared on them.

"You bold and evil ghost, how dare you come to the human world to cause trouble? I will refine you to death with the Three Flavors True Fire!" Zhang Tuwei shouted loudly.

A group of young men looked at the flame in Zhang Taowei's hand and were all shocked. They bowed down immediately, took out cakes, eggs and other items from their arms as offerings, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously, shouting the Three Pure Ones.

"It's not me who is collecting your things. It's the Three Pure Ones who wants to see your sincerity!" Zhang Taowei looked at the offerings at his feet and said calmly, "You guys go back. Remember to come back to exorcise the evil spirits in seven days. I am not very skilled in Taoism now. I can only suppress the evil spirits in you, but I can't completely eliminate them. Remember, if you don't come next time, you may be killed by the ghosts in the future. And you must remember, you must not tell your family members about this, otherwise the evil ghosts will remember your family members and will definitely persecute them as well."

Then Zhang Taowei sent a group of young men to take out bags and collect the tributes on the ground with swift hands and feet.

"Zhang Taowei!" Zhang Chen's eyes turned green when he saw this scene. To be honest, Zhang Taowei's performance just now was just a trick that Zhang Chen played to coax the three-year-old Zhang Taowei because his family was poor and his mother had to work. However, Zhang Chen couldn't resist his pestering and Zhang Taowei learned it from him. Who would have thought that he would become a charlatan.

"Brother!" After seeing Zhang Chen, Zhang Taowei's eyes showed a hint of panic, and he quickly hid the bag behind him.

"Don't play tricks in the future. If you cause trouble and the parents of the children come to your house, you will definitely give them a good beating." Zhang Chen said unhappily.

"Brother, you can't tell mom." Zhang Taowei came forward and said with a flattering look on his face.

"Come and help push the cart."

Zhang Chen was seen walking all the way to his stepmother's house, pushing the car into the yard, and then closing the gate to prevent anyone passing by and eavesdropping.

The noise Zhang Chen made in the yard startled Zhang in the house. Zhang was stunned after looking at Zhang Chen's actions: "What happened?" Zhang Chen showed a mysterious smile, then pulled down the straw on the cart, revealing the cloth inside. Zhang was stunned and could not believe her eyes. Then she hurried forward and touched the cloth on the cart, before she made sure that she was not seeing things.

"Where did you get it?" Zhang seemed unable to believe her eyes.

Who is Zhang Chen? He made up a lie without hesitation: "Didn't you see me fetching honey yesterday? I found a beehive in the mountains and fetched a lot of honey. I sold it and exchanged it for cloth. And this box of leftovers was given to me by the lord because I sold the honey."

Zhang Chen quickly opened the lunch box and revealed the leftovers inside as evidence.

At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had eaten most of the dishes, otherwise he would not be able to get away with it today. If the big shot rewarded him with a table full of leftovers, it would seem more real.

Zhang looked at Zhang Chen when she heard this. After seeing that Zhang Chen showed no guilt at all, she took a deep breath and said, "This is the best. I am relieved now."

Zhang Chen smiled upon seeing this, and quickly called his younger brother and sister to come over for dinner.

Looking at the exquisite dishes, the younger brothers and sisters' eyes widened, and they started to wolf down the food with chopsticks. At this time, Zhang Chen also picked up the chopsticks and picked up a four-happiness meatball for Zhang. The family was happily improving their meals in the yard.

The eighteen dishes were large in portion, and most of them were left over. When they parted, Zhang wanted to give some to Zhang Chen, but Zhang Chen refused. In the end, at Zhang's request, she could only return with an elbow.

Zhang was measuring cloth happily at home, while Zhang Chen was returning home and parked the small cart in the yard. This small cart was bought by Zhang Chen's father when he left his hometown. Along the way, the four of them, father and son, dragged their belongings, all relying on the carriage to transport the goods. However, the horse died of illness on the road, and then Zhang Chen's father began to work like a horse and pulled the carriage from that distant prosperous place to this remote borderland.

The light in the next room was on, and the nerd Zhang Chen was reading. Zhang Chen glanced at the next room, and then thought about the cloth, writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone he had obtained today, and he felt that all the resentment he had felt for being oppressed by the vixen for years was gone.

Zhang Chen opened the door, only to see the vixen squatting in the yard, staring at the water vapor in the sky with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"This beast acts like a human being. Did she see something?" There was a hint of surprise in Zhang Chen's eyes, and then he walked into the house calmly. When the vixen heard Zhang Chen open the door, she turned her head and looked in Zhang Chen's direction, then retracted her gaze, looking at the fog in the sky with worried eyes, her eyes full of worry.

Zhang Chen took a look at the fox spirit and felt that it was becoming more and more weird, but he didn't care. He thought that the fox spirit was worried about the severe drought. He went back to the house, put down the backpack, washed up, and continued to practice calligraphy.

Never stop practicing calligraphy!
Although his handwriting was ugly, Zhang Chen believed that as long as he practiced unremittingly, he would be able to write beautiful small characters one day.
