On the Avenue

Chapter 182 With my breath of energy

Surrounded by young men and women who were as seriously ill as she was, they lay in thatched huts, fending for themselves, waiting for death to come.

"Little Dingxiang, will Aunt Wei see a doctor for us?" Next to the girl in charge, a teenage boy asked while coughing.

"I will."

The girl in charge looked pale, with whip wounds all over her body. The wounds were red and swollen one by one. She said, "Aunt Wei said, let us go to the back mountain to rest while she goes to find a doctor to see us."

They have entered the underworld too many times, and their souls and bodies have been invaded by the Yin Qi. They are covered in injuries and illnesses, and they cannot eat enough. If they talk a little too much, their breath cannot keep up.

The little boy muttered in a low voice: "I heard her say behind her back that the money spent on treating us is enough to buy several children. I don't think she will hire a doctor."

Little Lilac touched his head.

The little boy muttered: "Will Aunt Wei come? I saw Xiao Dun'er died yesterday. She threw Xiao Dun'er's body off the cliff. Will I be thrown off the cliff too?"

Little Dingxiang didn't speak, then she heard the chirping of birds, and through the moonlight, she saw a skylark landing in the thatched shop, jumping up and down, looking at her sideways, as if examining her condition.

"Little bird..."

She stretched out her hand, and the lark flapped its wings and flew away, disappearing into the moonlight.

Chen Shi controlled the skylark to fly rapidly, and soon arrived at the mountain in front of Taipingmen, passed through a round hole, and entered the underworld.

The dozen or so Taipingmen monks who had been casting spells just now were shocked when they saw this. They were afraid that the bird would disturb the ghosts and gods in the underworld, but they did not dare to say anything and watched the skylark enter the underworld.

Chen Shi controlled the skylark to fly silently over the swamp, avoiding the light blue flames, picked up a white lotus in his mouth, soared into the sky, and flapped his wings through the round hole.

The dozen Taipingmen monks still didn't dare to make a sound, and two of them immediately left the shrine, jumped off the altar, offered up the golden elixir and chased after Skylark.

"We must get a bird that can pick the resurrection lotus!" The two of them were happy.

The golden elixir was extremely fast, but Chen Shi was even faster. He left the golden elixirs of those people far away and quickly returned to the thatched cottage.

Little Lilac was slightly startled when she saw the skylark flying over again with a white lotus in its mouth.

Skylark jumped forward, came to her side, and placed the white lotus in her hand.

Xiao Dingxiang's tears rolled down and she choked up: "Is it you? Are you the ghost boy in the underworld? I went to look for you, but I didn't find you, and I couldn't save you... It was you who turned into a bird, and why? Give me this lotus?"

She heard the elders in her family say that after death, people will become ghosts, and ghosts will be reincarnated, either as humans or as other creatures.

Perhaps the boy who asked her for help did not wait for her, so he turned into a skylark holding a white lotus in his mouth and came to repay his kindness.

Skylark pecked the palm of her hand, indicating to her that eating the white lotus would cure her illness.

Xiao Dingxiang looked at the white lotus in her hand, a little surprised.

Can Bai Lian cure her disease?

She obviously picked this kind of lotus flower and ended up with this strange disease. Could it be that taking this kind of lotus flower can cure these strange diseases?

However, if taking lotus could cure the disease, why didn't Aunt Wei tell them?

They picked so many lotus flowers for Taipingmen. Could it be that they were not willing to part with even one?

Skylark pecked the palm of her hand again. Little Dingxiang did not take the white lotus directly, but gave the white lotus to the little boy next to her and said, "Xiaotian, eat this."

The little boy was in a daze. Under her persuasion, he ate the Resurrection Lotus whole. After finishing one white lotus, his condition actually improved a lot and he said: "Little Lilac, my body hurts! I'm still hungry. !”

The Soul-Reviving Lotus is indeed an elixir for healing soul injuries. Because they went to the underworld too many times, the Yin Qi invaded and damaged their souls, so they suffered from many strange diseases. However, after taking the Soul-Reviving Lotus, their souls were stabilized, and the symptoms naturally subsided.

As for the yin energy and other ailments on the body, there is nothing the Soul-Reviving Lotus can do.

The skylark flew away again, and after a while, it flew back again, this time it also brought a resurrection lotus.

Xiao Dingxiang took this lotus and looked much better.

"Are you really the ghost boy?" she asked Skylark.

Hibari nodded.

Little Lilac's eyes were red and she said, "Did you really die and become a bird?"

The skylark jumped around.

Little Dingxiang regained some strength and helped the other children in the thatched hut to move around. There were two children in the shop, breathless and very ill.

The skylark fluttered its wings and flew away. After a while, there was a noise in the mountains.

"That little bird that picks lotus is nearby!"

Many Taipingmen monks searched around, and even the masters who had cultivated the Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul were alerted and searched everywhere, but they could never find the skylark.

The skylark brought two more resurrection lotuses and asked the children in the thatched shop to take them.

"Little Dingxiang, it's haunted again!" The child named Xiaotian exclaimed.

Little Dingxiang was trembling with fear, and several children in the thatched shop hugged each other and trembled.

Chen Shi controlled the skylark to fly out and land on the thatched bed. He saw groups of will-o'-the-wisps floating around, disappearing suddenly, and then suddenly reappearing in the distance.

He could clearly see that those will-o'-the-wisps were children the same age as Little Lilac, with a ball of flame above their heads. As they ran around in the forest, the flames also ran around.

Some children were hiding behind trees, and some were hiding in the grass, as if they were hiding from something.

They were also lotus pickers. They must have gotten sick and were left in the back mountains to die here.

The yin energy they are contaminated with is too strong and they cannot enter reincarnation.

On the foggy ridge, Chen Shi raised his hand, and the skylark flew back, landed in his hand and turned into a small knife.

He looked at Li Tianqing's uneaten meals, felt a little moved in his heart, heated them up, wrapped them in yellow paper, and offered paper cranes. The paper crane turned into a crane, picked up the food in its beak, and flew to the back mountain of Fenghuang Ridge where the Taiping Gate is located.

Little Dingxiang was worried about the safety of the skylark when she suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings, and saw a crane much taller than her landing and walking into the thatched bunk.

There was a paper package hanging on the crane's beak, and he placed the paper package in front of her.

Xiao Dingxiang opened the paper bag, but there was food inside, which was still hot to the touch!

She was surprised and happy, and quickly called Xiaotian and the other two sick children in the thatched shop to eat together.

The four of them were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs, and they felt that this was the best meal they had ever had in their lives.

Little Dingxiang suddenly remembered the crane that she had not thanked yet, but she saw that the crane had arrived outside the thatched shop and fluttered its wings away.

"First it was the skylark, and then the crane came. Are they all repaying the kindness of the boy who asked for help?" she thought in her heart.

At dawn, the crane flew over again, bringing more food and placing it outside the thatched shop.

At noon, when the crane came to deliver the meal, they looked much better. Chen Shi was a medicine jar, carrying a lot of medicinal materials in the wooden cart. He also added some medicinal materials to their meals that could drain pus, reduce inflammation and promote wound healing.

At night, the children in the thatched hut can get up and walk around, but they are still a little staggering.

The night is getting darker.

At this time, the cry of the skylark came again. Xiao Dingxiang looked around and saw a skylark outside the thatched shop. It landed on the ground with two resurrection lotuses in its mouth. It put down the resurrection lotus and flew away.

Little Lilac stepped forward to pick up the Resurrection Lotus. After a while, Skylark came back, bringing more Resurrection Lotus.

The monks at the Taiping Gate searched the whole mountain for the skylark that could only pick lotuses. However, the skylark avoided them time and time again and entered the underworld to steal white lotus. It quickly flew away, making the Taipingmen monks itchy and unable to catch it. this bird.

Chen Shi controlled Skylark, picked a dozen resurrection lotus flowers, and gave them to Xiao Dingxiang and the others.

The four children in the thatched cottage all looked much better, their souls were stable, and they no longer looked like they might die at any time.

On the third day, the crane brought all kinds of food, which flattered the four children.

On the third night, the skylark came again, stealing white lotus and feeding them.

On the Wuling Mountains, the two elders Han Qian have been hiding in their own void realm for the past few days, teaching Yutian City how to practice. They have not gone out for three or four days in a row, and only occasionally meet a few old friends.

For people like them, it doesn't matter whether they participate in a gathering of scattered people or not. They only come to the gathering to meet new people and hold the place, so as not to cause trouble from foreign enemies, or Chen Yindu, who kills several scattered people at every turn.

Fortunately, this year's gathering was peaceful and no one caused trouble.

"After the death of the Wuhu Sanren, the Sanren gatherings are not as lively as before." Hanshan Sanren said with emotion.

He also had nothing to do, and thought to himself: "What are Chen Shi doing these days? This little guy's temperament is not like his grandfather. His grandfather makes trouble, but he is an honest child."

He quietly observed Chen Shi, only to see Chen Shi casting spells over and over again to turn paper cranes into fairy cranes and go to Fenghuangling to deliver meals to several sallow children.

"What a good boy."

Hanshan Sanren was filled with emotion, twirling his beard, and said to Qianke Sanren, "Fellow Taoist, Chen Shi is such a good boy. His talent is extremely high. In just a few days, he has understood the spells I taught him and practiced them." skilled!"

Qianke Sanren also observed Chen Shi and saw his actions. He was quite moved and said: "This child has a kind heart and has not been led astray by Wuhu Sanren. It is really an eye-opener for God. Otherwise, he will do evil in a few years." Another creation Xiaowu.”

Mentioning Creation Xiaowu, Hanshan Sanren couldn't help but change his face slightly, thinking of the scene where Creation Xiaowu massacred the Sanren gathering twenty years ago.

At this time, he found that Chen Shi came down the mountain with a wooden cart and a black dog, started the wooden cart, and went straight to another place. He couldn't help but be surprised: "What is he doing?"

His mind followed Chen Shi and went with him.

Chen Shi ran along the mountain road for more than a hundred miles, climbed over several hills, and finally came to the Taiping Gate. He asked the black pot and wooden cart to wait outside to calm down before arriving in front of the mountain gate.

The Taiping Sect disciple guarding the mountain gate shouted and asked, "Who is coming?"

Chen Shi smiled and said: "I am Chen Shi, who is from the Li family in Quanzhou. I followed the young master Li Tianqing to the nearby area. The young master Tianqing heard that there was a rare treasure, the Soul-Reviving Lotus, in your family, so he asked me to come and buy some Soul-Reviving Lotus. I was planning to go home. Honor your elders.”

The Taiping Sect disciple smiled and said, "Does the Quanzhou Li family also know about my Taiping Sect's rare treasures? You come with me."

He led Chen Shi into the mountain to see the steward.

The steward was a rather shrewd middle-aged man and said with a smile: "What the distinguished guests don't know is that our resurrection lotuses are the private property of a certain young master in Yudu. Although we occasionally sell a few flowers, the price is high."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "May I ask how much it's worth?"

"Three hundred and two flowers."

Chen Shi hesitated and said: "The price is a bit high. I'm afraid my young master can't afford a few flowers. I can't decide on this matter. I will go back and tell Mr. Tianqing."

The manager also knew that although the sons of the big families were famous, the money management within the big families was also very strict. They had a fixed amount of silver every month. Those who could afford it were often the sons of the big families who became officials and had more money.

But even if Chen Shi didn't have much money, he wouldn't offend him, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's wait until you ask Young Master Tianqing."

Chen Shi saw that there were not many disciples in Taiping Sect, but there were many children, and said with a smile: "May I ask the steward, do you have book boys for sale? My young master is away from home, and I want to buy a few book boys to serve him."

The steward shook his head and said: "Our boys and girls are all bought, and it is impossible to sell them."

Chen Shi said: "Are there any sick ones, or those that are not needed? Make them cheaper. My young master Tianqing really needs them."

The steward smiled and said: "Brother, you don't know that the boys and girls eliminated by our Taiping Sect basically don't live for a few days. If I sell them to you, it's cheating you. We do business with integrity and can't cheat people."

Seeing that he didn't give in, Chen Shi had to give up.

The steward said, "If we have some surplus, we can sell you some as bookboys. But we bought them from Tianmu Society. For some reason, Tianmu Society has not sent anyone these days, and we don't have much left. Please forgive me, brother."

"Tianmu Society?"

Chen Shi's eyes twitched, and his eyes were fierce.

At this time, a fat aunt came and shouted from a distance: "Lao Xu, those girls and boys thrown in the back mountain are not dead! I just went to see them, and they are alive and kicking. I brought them here and arranged for them to go to pick lotus tonight!"

Chen Shi looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the fat aunt was followed by several thin young men and women, and the leader was Xiao Dingxiang.

"Goodbye." Chen Shi bowed.

The steward was also surprised that Xiao Dingxiang and others could survive. He didn't bother to see them off and hurried over to check.

Chen Shi walked down the mountain, his face gradually gloomy.

"Will Tianmu know...Hei Guo, let's go!"

He took Hei Guo and the wooden cart to the nearby village.

"What is this kid going to do?" Hanshan Sanren had been paying attention to him, and was surprised when he saw this scene.

It was still more than an hour before dark.

Chen Shi came to the town and found the blacksmith shop, saying: "Shopkeeper, do you have short knives or short swords in your shop? Iron skewers are also fine. I want them all!"

He paid the money and bought all the short knives and short swords and iron skewers with pointed ends in the blacksmith shop, a large box, dozens of pieces, and put them in the wooden cart.

Chen Shi took some more blood from Hei Guo and buried his head in drawing talismans. After drawing more than 20 talismans, the sky gradually turned red and the sun closed its eyes.

Chen Shi had dinner in the town again, bought a few pounds of exotic beast meat for Hei Guo, and then set off to Taiping Gate.

When they arrived at the foot of Taipingmen Mountain, still a few miles away from the mountain gate, Chen Shi stopped and moved out the basket full of iron swords, iron knives and iron sticks, and at the same time lined up more than 20 talismans.

He took a long breath and activated the magic.

Seeing this, Hanshan Sanren's face suddenly changed: "This kid wants to use the magic I taught to kill people! But I didn't teach him the third move, where did he learn it from?"

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Shi exhaled and blew out a breath of true energy!

"With my true energy, I will make your whole family die!"
