Although he couldn't see the evil thing he had been curious about for a long time in the Yubei Mountain Fortress, Zhang Yan also figured it out. He didn't expect to encounter ghosts in a place like the fortress, and there probably weren't any of those things in such a place.
In such a breeding environment, if the soul leaves the body, it will be forced to dissolve and return to heaven and earth, turning into a fart ghost.
It seems that if you want to see what a ghost looks like, you have to look for another opportunity.
However, Zhang Yan did not stop practicing the "Yin Yang Pupil Technique". Anyway, this method is not complicated. Generally speaking, it is similar to the breathing and breathing technique. It is a kind of habit-forming thing. Once his eyes can get used to it,
If the aura related to the pupil technique circulates, then he can switch between the yin and yang vision at will with a thought. Moreover, according to some ancient books in Longhu Mountain, the "Yin and Yang pupil technique" was originally a Taoist monk walking in the world in the legendary era on earth.
How can you not be proficient in the necessary means when doing business?
In addition to "Yin Yang Pupil Technique", Zhang Yan also began to dabble in some other magic methods. For example, talismans, the basic drawing and use of array disks, and even some purely pharmacological basic knowledge of alchemy, etc., are all in his study
within the absorption range.
In Zhang Yan's own words, being idle is just idle anyway, so it would be better to learn something and have more confidence to start a career later.
Patrolling and maintaining the Bagua Array, teaching the soldiers at the sentry some simple methods of changing paths of the Bagua Array, and at the same time improving his cultivation step by step, learning various techniques and techniques in the Wanxiang Pearl. Zhang Yan soon settled into this regular life.
He felt relieved. Looking at it from another angle, it might not be a bad thing for him to be left by Song Qinghe in Yubei Mountain for two years. At least in another place, he didn't know if he could have such a suitable environment to devote himself to cultivation without worrying about external threats.
disturb.
But suddenly one day, Lin Zedong found Zhang Yan with a letter, which also caused his previously silent memories of his body's predecessor to resurface, causing ripples in his originally calm state of mind.
.
"The letter from your home should be from last month. It was delayed at the inn for a long time. This time, the brothers from the baggage camp stopped by and brought it back to you."
Regarding Zhang Yan, Lin Zedong no longer talked much about superiors and subordinates, and talked more about equality. He knew that Zhang Yan would not last long in the army. He would definitely leave when the two-year conscription period came, otherwise he would not be able to do so.
With his skills, he has always been a team leader in the army, right? And his identity as a former criminal does not allow Zhang Yan to mix his qualifications in the army, so leaving is inevitable.
Since you can't keep him, let's make good friends. If things don't change in the future, who can say what will happen in the world?
In fact, there are many people who think the same as Lin Zedong in Yubei Mountain, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Yan receives preferential treatment everywhere even though he is only a gang leader.
But outside the Yubei Mountain Fortress, no one knew the name Zhang Yan, and his name was just a young boy leader who had been cleared of criminal charges. Who would take it seriously? Therefore, something as simple as a letter from home
Things that do not belong to the military will usually be detained at the inn for a long time before there is manpower to bring them back. It is common to receive letters from three to five months ago. Some people have died, and it is not uncommon for letters home to be still on the way.
.
"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Yan said his thanks, sent Lin Zedong away, and then unfolded the letter. The words inside were crooked and not pretty, but the number of words was quite a lot, five pages in total.
"Brother greets me personally, and my sister kowtows at Langyuan's house to say hello to him. I hope he will come back safely and soon..."
Sister...Zhang Yan suddenly felt the memories of his predecessor pouring in deep in his consciousness. The appearance of a petite, thin, yellow-skinned woman gradually became clear in his mind. That was his predecessor's biological sister, Nian.
Fang Shiliu, Zhang Huiyuan.
The letter was not written by Zhang Huiyuan. She did not know much about literacy and was not good at writing. Instead, she found a one-eyed scholar who she knew well to write it. The scholar Zhang Yan actually had an impression of it. It is said that she was originally very talented, but later suffered a disaster and lost her eyesight in a fire.
One eye was rotten and several fingers were rotten. He couldn't become an official and couldn't write well. In the end, he could only collect night scents and help others write a few crooked words to barely make ends meet.
Although the letter is verbose, it is easy to understand.
First, he said that he had not written before because there was no news about the criminal soldiers. He had no idea where Zhang Yan was sent, and he did not even know whether he was dead or alive. He could only cry and worry silently.
Later, Zhang Yan was miraculously cleared of all charges in just a few months. After receiving an order from Yubei Mountain Fortress, he finally got the news after many twists and turns.
The place of stay and the forced recruitment documents were delivered to the Zhang family.
It is said to be the "Zhang family" but in fact there are only three people left in the Zhang family at this time. One is Zhang Yan's sister, Zhang Huiyuan; the other is Zhang Yan's mother Wang Lanping; and Zhang Yan's brother Zhang Shun.
His mother, Wang Lanping, is already in her sixties and is not in good health. Zhang Yan's brother, Zhang Shun, broke his legs in an accident and is disabled at home. Only his younger sister, Zhang Huiyuan, can take over some work with the embroidery workshop by relying on her skills as a female artist.
It is the main source of the family's livelihood, and with the mother spinning thread, the family's life is very tight.
Of course, the Zhang family was not in such a difficult situation before Zhang Yan was convicted. The Zhang family's ancestors were quite prosperous and had a lot of fertile land.
But when it came to Zhang Yan's generation, things changed drastically.
First, Zhang Shun, the head of the family, became disabled due to an accident. His mood collapsed and everyone at home collapsed. Later, the family business was in the hands of Zhang Yan. He listened to the advice of several friends and sold the farmland at home in exchange for two properties in Langyuan City.
He opened a shop and started doing business.
But as soon as the business started to pick up, a case was brought against Zhang Yan, who was accused of committing arson and killing one person. Not only was the shop confiscated, but Zhang Yan was also put on death row.
Later, Zhang Yan was deported to the Yubei Mountain Fortress and was frightened to death by the monster soldiers on the battlefield. Then Zhang Yan on the earth had the opportunity to resurrect his body, until now.
Zhang Huiyuan's excitement in the letter overflowed from the paper, and she also told Zhang Yan about the situation at home. Fortunately, the family has received the two pieces of fertile land he exchanged for his military exploits, and now he has asked people from Zhuangzi to help. The days of poverty should be
It will pass soon. My mother's health has also improved after hearing the news that he is still alive, and her appetite is much better now. Even the eldest brother Zhang Shun has begun to cheer up again, helping his mother spin thread all day long, his face
There is also a smile...
"Report good news but not bad news." Zhang Yan closed the letter and thought to himself. How could he not see the forced smile between the lines?
The family is in trouble, and there is no male who can support the family. How can life be so easy? How can a teenage girl withstand the wind and rain? Even if you have military merit in exchange for fertile land, is this really a good thing or a bad thing?
It's hard to tell clearly.
What's more, in the memory of Zhang Yan's predecessor, the incident about his arson and murder was an unjust case. There were too many doubts in it. Zhang Yan didn't believe it when he said that no one framed him. How can the family live a stable life with such foreign threats around them?
