On the Avenue

Chapter 185 Border Guard Station

The gathering of San people finally dispersed, and the last group of San people also left. Chen Shi and Li Tianqing set out to return. Along the way, Li Tianqing remained silent, still immersed in the shock brought to him by the San people's lectures. From time to time, he jumped out of the wooden cart. Make one or two spells.

At this time, Chen Shi would stop and wait, not interfering or participating, but letting Li Tianqing use his understanding.

He could see that Li Tianqing had absorbed too many Sanren ideas. At the critical stage of digesting and using this knowledge, disturbing him would interrupt his thoughts and inspiration, which would be equivalent to ruining his future. At this time, you just need to try to give him a quiet environment.

The spells Li Tianqing drew were becoming more and more powerful and complex. Previously, I had made deletions, deletions, and modifications based on the Li family's magic of the Six Yin Moon. Later, gradually there were shadows of Xiao Wangsun's swordsmanship. Halfway through the journey, there were many more additions to the Liuyin Moon and Xiao Wangsun's swordsmanship. Other people’s stuff.

First, there are the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, then there are thunder, talisman, formation, escape, sacrificial combat, close combat, and even the shadow of Granny Sha's soul method! He has learned too much and knows more and more spells, but it is difficult to integrate these spells.

But as he got closer to Gongzhou, Chen Shi found that his spells were becoming more and more skillful, becoming more and more delicate and smooth. Various spells can be cast at will, as naturally as flowing water.

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly: "Tian Qing casts every spell so smoothly. Does this count as mastery?"

He denied this view. Li Tianqing, like himself, was just learning different types of spells. When they accumulate enough knowledge, they can see the changing nature of Taoism from these spells and understand their own path. At that time, he was the master.

Only then can we be called true Sanren.

Li Tianqing woke up from his meditation and found that the two of them had been delayed for three or four days on the road, so he quickly apologized. Chen Shi smiled and said, "As a friend, I should naturally wait for you."

Li Tianqing said with emotion: "Xiao Wangsun taught me a lot in the past, and I benefited a lot. I learned the correct method of refining the spiritual fetus. He strongly recommended me to participate in the Sanren gathering. Only after I came did I realize that there are so many Taoisms in this world." "Xiao Shi, what have you learned these days?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I didn't learn anything. I only understood the magical skills taught by Hanshan Sanren and refined my soul."

Li Tianqing felt even more guilty and said: "I delayed you too much time, you could have left earlier. By the way, I think there is something missing about the spell that Hanshan Sanren taught us. I will pass it on after I think about it clearly. you."

Chen Shi smiled and said: "I have already thought about it clearly. As long as I use the Akatsuki transformation in reverse, the true energy can be turned into sword energy or other spells. Or I can use the magic weapon instead of the paper crane to make the treasure Change, keep this breath of true energy." He said, while making gestures, he turned the knife into a bird, flew around them, and then returned to the knife.

"If you can multitask, you can distract yourself and divide your mind into many parts. My upper limit some time ago was ninety-seven parts."

Chen Shi thought slightly, and the stones around the wooden cart suddenly turned into frogs under his Xiaochan magic. They screamed, jumped around the wooden cart, and said, "Now my soul has become more... I don’t know how much it can distract me." Li Tianqing looked out and was shocked to see frogs everywhere around the wooden cart. There were hundreds of them at least!

The two communicated with each other, and Li Tianqing discovered that Chen Shi had only learned this move, but he had perfected this move to perfection. It was extremely powerful, and he was filled with admiration. "Tianqing, do you know the Soul-Reviving Lotus?" Chen Shi asked.

"Know!"

Li Tianqing solemnly said, "A soul-like holy medicine produced in the underworld, it is a rare spiritual root! It can be used to treat injuries on the soul, and can also be used to improve the attainments of the soul. Many techniques in the world cannot be practiced. soul, The techniques that can cultivate the soul are the secrets of major families, and some are in the hands of famous sects. Therefore, the soul-reviving lotus is extremely precious, and it can even be used to cultivate the soul. However, there are very few medicinal materials of this kind. The price is also high.”

Chen Shi took out a few resurrection lotuses and said with a smile: "We are brothers. I will sell you these five resurrection lotuses for one thousand taels of silver."

Li Tianqing was startled and lost his voice: "How to do this? Such a treasure costs at least four to five hundred taels per plant. How can one thousand taels of silver be enough? Besides, it's not worth a thousand taels to me!"

Chen Shi stuffed it into his arms and said with a smile: "You can eat it yourself, or you can mix it with medicine, or you can sell it. Anyway, if you take it, I still have it here, and I almost vomited. Remember, you owe me a thousand taels of silver. My clothes for the past few days... Li Tianqing hurriedly folded the white lotus and said quickly: "I will wash it for you!" "

He was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Where can such a treasure be eaten directly? Preparation of medicine is of course! The prepared Resurrection Pill can save lives. A lotus flower can produce nine Resurrection Pills, and one can be sold for five hundred taels of silver. !" Chen Shi thought slightly: "Do you know how to make alchemy?"

Li Tianqing was quite proud: "I understand a little bit. To tell you the truth, in addition to earning some pocket money by washing clothes, I also helped people make elixirs to make money. I was a well-known alchemist in Quanzhou. I helped people make elixirs, and every time I made ten Two taels of silver!" Chen Shi's eyes lit up and he said, "Tianqing, if you help me refine... one hundred furnace pills, you don't have to pay back the one thousand taels of silver you owe me."

"real?"

Li Tianqing was overjoyed. His monthly income was only fifty taels. Although alchemy could make money, not all the monks in Quanzhou came to him for alchemy. It was considered good if he could receive one or two orders of business a month. When you go to other places, it is the territory of other alchemists, and there is no business to take.

One hundred furnace pills and one thousand taels of silver are definitely an unprecedentedly big deal!

He still felt sorry for Chen Shi about the money, and said, "Xiao Shi, what kind of elixir are you making? Will you lose money?" "No."

Chen Shi moved the box out, opened it, and revealed that it was full of rejuvenating lotus plants. There were three to five hundred rejuvenating lotus plants. He smiled and said, "Just make the reviving pill you just mentioned. I can earn 4,500 with one pot of rejuvenating lotus." Two. Do a good job, Tianqing. By the way, you have to wash your clothes too."

"Xiao Shi, have you gone to rob the treasury of Lord Yama during this time?"

Li Tianqing suddenly felt like he had become a landlord's servant. The look he looked at Chen Daguan was not that of a good brother, but that of a wealthy landlord who was exploiting him. "But I also have five furnaces of resurrecting pills!"

He became happy again, "One furnace is 4,500 taels...wait a minute, a few hundred taels will be deducted when dispensing the medicine." He was nervous.

The cost of a furnace of pills alone is more than a thousand taels. If one furnace is destroyed, the cost will bankrupt oneself and make oneself work for Chen Shi for the rest of his life! He suddenly felt pressure. Can a little alchemist like myself be able to withstand such great pressure?

"It should be okay."

He thought about it and thought, "Although I am a small alchemist, there are not many alchemists in Quanzhou who are better than me."

The two of them returned to Gongzhou City, only to see that there were many San people in the city who had not left. From the east coast in the distance came waves of soul-stirring spell power, which was extremely terrifying. People in the city are panicked, and many people are packing their bags and preparing to move and leave Gongzhou.

Chen Shi went to the main altar of Hongshan Hall and found that there was no one in the main altar, not even the real bodies of Hetongzi and Hongshan Empress. The cook in the back kitchen and the stone lion at the door were also missing.

Chen Shi quickly inquired, and someone told him: "There are monsters landing in the sea. It turns out that there were frontier troops resisting before the magic change. Now most of the frontier troops were killed in the magic change. The monsters tested for a while and began to land. The Yu Hall Master of Hongshan Hall, We took the talisman masters to the coast to resist. People from Cao Laohui and Yanlaohui also went there. I heard that many people died."

When Chen Shi heard this, he felt awe-inspiring in his heart. He couldn't help but think of the scene when Qianyang Shanjun regained consciousness, took possession of his body, and came to the border guard post in Xinxiang Provincial City.

There is a huge city wall that is unattainable. Giant bronze mirrors are placed on the wall to shine on the sea and drive away monsters in the sea.

Xinxiang Provincial City is close to the coastline, and Gongzhou City is still more than a hundred miles away from the coastline. Across the branches of Henggong Mountain, there is this natural barrier that can resist monsters for a period of time. However, Gongzhou City did not have the governor, general soldiers and other important officials, and the frontier army suffered heavy casualties and became a piece of scattered sand. It will certainly not be able to stop the invasion of monsters in the sea!

Chen Shi asked where Yutiancheng and others were resisting, and was startled: "Did the sea monsters land at Yanxia Ridge? Isn't that the location of the Mazu Temple?" The two of them immediately drove to Yanxia Ridge without taking a rest.

Yanxia Ridge is the place where Queen Hongshan was born. It is close to the dark sea, and the mountains are split. The body of Queen Hongshan crawls out of the mountain, absorbs the moonlight, and loses control of its power, causing serious pollution, killing people and animals within a ten-mile radius. All died. Chen Shi also discovered the Mazu Temple in the Grand Canyon of Yanxia Ridge last time.

When they came to Yanxia Ridge, they saw many Talisman masters and monks running like flying among the mountains on the coast, retreating while releasing spells. The ground among the mountains and forests was shaking, and the smell of seafood filled the air. Suddenly, huge trees were uprooted and used as sharp arrows to shoot at the talisman masters and monks. It turned out to be an octopus-like monster!

The talisman masters and monks each activated their sword energy and split the trees into pieces, but then huge stones fell from the sky and hit them. Lu Xiangzhu sprang out from the slanting thorn and offered sacrifices to the Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul force field held up the boulders weighing 10,000 kilograms in the air, but then more than a dozen boulders roared towards him. Lu Xiangzhu groaned, the Nascent Soul Force Field was almost holding up a small mountain, which made him unable to bear it.

His Nascent Soul roared, flew out like lightning, disappeared in a flash, passed through the monster's head, and exited from the back of the head. The monster's body collapsed.

Lu Xiangzhu's Nascent Soul force field could not withstand the top of the mountain with dozens of boulders stacked on top of it, and his legs were shaking. Fortunately, when the Talisman Masters and monks rushed out of the force field, he immediately dodged, causing the hilltop to fall down and the boulders to roll around. . "Xiucai, why are you here?"

He caught a glimpse of Chen Shi and Li Tianqing coming, and ignored the greetings and shouted, "The monsters in the sea have come ashore. I can't take care of you. You should be careful!" Chen Shi agreed and asked loudly: "Where is the hall master?"

"The hall master is at the front!"

Lu Xiang, the master of the wind and fire, penetrated into the mountain forest, leaped like flying, and faced other monsters. He killed several monsters and rushed to the guardhouse on the top of the mountain.

The guard post has been occupied by more than a dozen monsters. The frontier troops guarding the guard post were originally short of manpower, and the remaining few frontier soldiers died in the charge of the monsters. Master Lu Xiang rushed into the guardhouse and resisted the attacks of more than ten monsters at the same time, suddenly feeling the pressure.

Suddenly, birds fluttered their wings and flew in, rushing into the guardhouse, passing by him, and then turned into daggers and daggers, piercing into the bodies of the monsters, bringing out pieces of blood. Lu Xiangzhu was startled: "Which expert is helping me?"

He rushed to the top floor of the guard post without time to think about it. The top floor was covered with blood, and it was obvious that the fighting was extremely tragic. The huge bronze mirror on the top floor had been dismantled by the monster and thrown aside. Lu Xiangzhu raised his Yuanying, struggled to stand up the bronze mirror, hung it on the bronze frame, and pushed the bronze mirror with effort to activate the talisman pattern on the bronze mirror and the base.

"Buzz!"

The light beam shot out from the mirror, forcing back the huge monsters that were galloping in the mountains and forests. The smaller monsters were illuminated by the light and exploded with a bang, and the stench filled the air. Countless monsters crawled out of the sea, climbed up the mountain like locusts, and swarmed towards the guard post.

Master Lu Xiang turned the bronze mirror frantically, and the mirror light shot out the monsters one by one, looking crazy, and shouted loudly: "Come! Come quickly! Help me defend the guard post!"

Many talisman masters and monks from Hongshan Hall, Yan Laohui, and Cao Laohui fought hard to guard the passes leading to the guard post, occupy dangerous places, and fight with the monsters that came. From time to time, there was a scream, but someone was rolled up by the monster and eaten.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Birds flew over, turned into short swords and iron sticks, pierced through the monsters that landed, and helped everyone resist the first wave of monster attacks. With this wave of support, everyone fought hard, and saw the monsters gradually retreating back to the sea.

In the dark ocean, pairs of huge eyes appeared, shining in the darkness, staring at the guard post standing on the hilltop by the sea, but did not continue to attack. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked around, looking for the person who helped them.

"What a superb magic. Who helped us get through this disaster?" They asked one after another.

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing had already driven deep into the mountains. From time to time, monsters rushed in from the forest and pounced on them. Li Tianqing jumped out of the car and joined forces with Chen Shi to fight the monsters. The two of them killed several monsters in a row and killed them all the way to the seaside. The wooden car also opened its mouth, its long tongue flying, and pounced on all sides.

Whenever they couldn't resist, a mirror light shone in the air, shooting the monsters that pounced on them. It was Lu Xiangzhu on the top of the mountain who activated the bronze mirror to help them go deeper. Others didn't know that it was Chen Shi who helped, but Lu Xiangzhu guessed that the master who turned the bird into a sword must be Chen Jiaotou, so he helped all the way and escorted them to the seaside.

But on the coast and other hills, countless sea monsters have landed, all over the mountains, and are everywhere, frantically attacking the guards on those hills!

Many coastal guards have been captured, and some hills are constantly shining with mirror light, forcing back waves of sea monsters, but the sea monsters are like a raging tide, and in a short moment, one of the guards was submerged! Chen Shi and Li Tianqing were terrified. How could they resist so many monsters?

Chen Shi came to the edge of the cliff and looked down, but saw that the cliffs on both sides of the canyon were full of monsters, crawling madly, heading straight for the Mazu Temple on the cliff. Among them, there are even monsters with amazing physiques, standing out among the monsters like a crane among chickens, roaring like thunder, and fighting against the Yuanshen of Yu Tiancheng and others!

Chen Shi was shocked: "The target of these monsters is the Mazu Temple!"
