On the Avenue

On the first day of the new year, people in the village visited each other to pay New Year greetings. Chen Shi also got up early and went out to pay New Year greetings to the elderly in the village and say a few festive words.

The young people in the village were also very happy. When they saw Chen Shi, they paid homage to the Yuan Master and got a taste of Wenquxing's literary talent.

The old men and women in the village all said that Chen Shi was the Wenqu star from the sky who came down to earth, so he was able to pass the Jieyuan exam. There are also rumors that on the day Chen Shi was born, his mother dreamed that an old lady passed by with a group of rabbits.

One of the rabbits jumped into her belly, which showed that the stars from the sky were descending to earth.

After the transfer, Chen Shi went to offer incense to his godmother and Zhu Xiucai. He invited Empress Shi Ji to come out and asked Shi Ji to apply three incense to his godmother. By the way, he also applied some incense to Zhu Xiucai.

"This scholar is so obsessed with me, I'm afraid he'll be blown away." Empress Shiji said.

However, as her fragrance subsided, Zhu Xiucai was still hanging on the crooked neck tree, swaying in the wind.

I didn't mean to be blown away.

Empress Shiji was surprised: "The scholar ghost has some abilities."

Chen Shi went to pay homage to his grandfather again and expressed his feelings of missing him.

In the second grade of junior high school, he took fruits, vegetables, meat and eggs to Gangzi Village to pay New Year greetings to Granny Sha. Granny Sha became young and beautiful. Young men from various villages and some matchmakers crowded at the door. When they saw Chen Shi, they all made a fuss. : "Even if you don't even have full hair, you're here to learn how to propose marriage! Get out, get out!"

Chen Shi screamed, and a wisp of aura spread out, forcing everyone to lie on the ground, and then they could walk through the door of Granny Sha's house.

Grandma Sha changed her clothes. She wore a pink cross-collar short coat with a white hem. She wore a gold woven horse-faced skirt on the lower body. She had a butterfly hairpin and a peach blossom hairpin on her head. She wore a red headband with gold beads on her temples. The waist looks slim.

When Chen Shi saw this, he thought to himself, "No wonder there are so many people proposing marriage."

Grandma Sha was very happy to see him come to pay her New Year greetings. She talked with him and asked him to stay for lunch. Chen Shi smiled and said, "Po------Sister Sha, I also want to go to Grandma Zhuang and Xuanshan." Happy New Year, I won’t stay.”

When Grandma Sha heard him calling her sister, she was elated and said with a smile: "Okay! Okay! By the way, you should also go to the Qingyang. It has been dead for many years and is all alone. In the past, your grandfather used to chat with it during the Chinese New Year."

Chen said yes.

Granny Sha said again: "You are annoying me to death by taking these people away from the door.'

Chen Shi wondered: "Aren't they seduced by Sister Sha? Look at the peach blossoms and butterflies hanging on your temples, and the pink clothes on your body..."

"I just want to dress up beautifully, but I don't want to be blocked at the door every day to propose marriage!"

Chen Shi sacrificed his Nascent Soul, lifted everyone up, and sent them several miles away, scaring them and saying, "That woman is a demon. She wants to eat people in the middle of the night. She eats the toes first and gnaws them carefully. I am a Talisman Master. How could I lie to you?"

Everyone dispersed in a hurry.

Chen Shi went to Granny Zhuang's house again. Granny Zhuang was so happy when she saw him coming to pay her New Year greetings that she smiled and said, "Xiao Shi, how about my grandma staying in your temple for a few days?"

Chen Shi was also surprised and happy, and quickly agreed.

Granny Zhuang packed some snacks, probably for eating in the small temple, and placed the incense burner in a conspicuous place. She thought that people from other villages would come to pay her New Year greetings, and the incense burner was placed here to collect incense.

Grandma Zhuang entered the temple, climbed up to the shrine and sat down.

Chen Shi continued his journey and came to the top of the mountain where the Orochi Xuan Mountain was located. This mountain was named Xuanshan because of him.

At this time, many villagers and spirits from Qianyang Mountain have come to Xuanshan to offer incense to the big snake Xuanshan.

That’s worship.

There are also many spirits from the mountain. At the beginning of the new year, it has become the rule of Qianyang Mountain to come to visit Xuanshan.

In the Qianyang Mountains, people and spiritual beasts and monsters live and die, but only the Xuanshan Mountains remain unshakable for a long time.

In Ling's heart, Xuanshan is a god, so all good wishes are placed on him, so he must worship him.

Chen Shi offered incense to Orochi Xuanshan. At this time, Xuanshan in black walked down from the top of Orochi Xuanshan and said: "Xiao Shi, I heard that you once captured Granny Zhuang and put her in your small temple to help you practice. Do you think so? Is there any such thing?”

Chen Shi's heart was pounding and his mouth was dry. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's true."

He secretly complained that this time Granny Zhuang was in the temple to help him practice, and it could be said that Xuanshan caught her in the act!

Xuanshan in black was silent.

Chen Shi was panting uneasily and did not speak.

Xuanshan, dressed in black, wondered: "Why haven't you arrested me yet?"

After a while, Chen Shi felt a strong sense of oppression, which made him almost breathless. Just as he was about to release Granny Zhuang, Xuanshan in black said, "Why don't you arrest me and enter the small temple to practice?"

Chen Shiran.

Black-clothed Xuanshan repeated it again.

Only then did Chen Shi hear clearly and said timidly: "I don't dare. Besides, the temple is already full -

"Full?"

Black-clothed Xuanshan felt slightly comfortable and walked into the small temple behind his head. Granny Zhuang and Empress Shiji were sitting on the shrines of the small temple. On another shrine sat a cross-legged black dog. The Eight Sutras seemed to be practicing some extraordinary technique.

Xuanshan, who was dressed in black, looked gloomy, and he was indeed full.

He could throw Granny Zhuang and the black pot down, but Empress Shiji couldn't climb them, but wouldn't this be bullying good and fearing evil?

At this time, Heiguo opened his eyes, jumped down from the shrine, patted the shrine, indicating that he could sit on it.

Xuanshan, dressed in black, saw the dog walking quickly to the outside of the temple. Apart from acres of land, there was a black sandy space outside the temple.

The dog jumped up, disappeared from the small temple, and appeared outside.

Upon seeing this, Xuanshan in black hesitated for a moment, nodded to Granny Zhuang and Empress Shiji, and responded with a friendly smile, then came to the shrine and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, he suddenly felt the three lights of the sun, moon and stars turning into the righteous energy of the heaven and earth, coming one after another, like a raging wave of an angry sea!

He slightly adjusted his sitting posture to assist Chen Shi in his practice, but he felt that the righteous energy of heaven and earth was flowing through his body, and he was unknowingly refining the accumulated evil energy and demonic nature, making his Taoist heart clear and clear, like a mirror hanging high, and feeling indescribably comfortable.

"What a great place!" Xuanshan in black praised.

Chen Shi took the black pot and continued walking into the mountains. When he arrived at the Qianyang Tiger Temple, he offered incense to Qianyang Tiger and placed a fruit plate on it.

Qianyang Tiger woke up and calmed down. Huang Hu also woke up and had some fun with Chen Shi. He wanted to play a tiger hunting game with the dog, but was flatly rejected by the scapegoat.

Chen Shi came to the mountain village where the Qingyang was. Sure enough, as Grandma Sha said, the Qingyang was indeed miserable. It was hiding in a tree hole and crying loudly.

When he saw Chen Shi coming to pay New Year's greetings, he pretended to be tough again and didn't care about anything.

Heiguo cooked rice and stir-fried vegetables, and Chen Shi had lunch with him. Qingyang was very excited and talked about his past with Chen Yindu during the meal.

Chen Shi brought him several jars of wine, but he drank them all. He was probably drunk, and he became friends with Chen Shi again.

In the afternoon, Chen Shi went to visit the Hu family compound again. The Hu family gave him a grand welcome, which was extremely lively. Chen Shi was flattered and didn't know what was going on.

Hu Feifei whispered: "The two ginseng fruits you gave to the clan leader brought the clan leader back to life. The clan leader wishes he could turn into a female fox and marry you."

Hu Xiaoliang was originally in a state of being neither alive nor dead, and could only rely on the realm of ghosts and gods to save his life. He got two ginseng grass fruits from Chen Shi and gained a few hundred years of life. Naturally, he was extremely happy.

Chen Shi was drunk with cheese tincture by the vixens, so he did not go back at night and stayed in the Hu family compound for the night.

Late at night, many female vixens tried to attack Chen Shi's room, but they were beaten back by Hu Feifei who was guarding the door.

"Hu Feifei, you want to eat alone! Even if Mr. Chen wins the first prize, you will never let us call you grandma!"

The vixens were very angry. A group of foxes put their hands on their hips and scolded them harshly. For example, if you steal a chicken, you will only get a plague chicken, or if you turn into a human and show your fox tail, etc.

Chen Shi woke up the next day with a headache.

Hu Feifei asked: "When will Brother Chen leave for Xijing?"

Chen Shi said: "It's still very early to go to Xijing now, right? If you want to go out, you have to wait until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Hu Feifei looked solemn and said: "Our Xinxiang is very far from Xijing. Xijing is on the west coast. It will take forty or fifty days at the fastest to run from here. If something delays you on the way, it will take even longer. It will take half a year. It’s possible. In the provinces to the east of Xinxiang Province, many people started their journey years ago.”

Chen Shi thought for a moment and said, "Then we'll set off on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Hu Feifei said: "What should I do with the little King of Hell?"

Heiguo heard the sound and turned his head. Guotu put the dog's face back and let him continue to play with him. You pat him and I pat him.

Chen Shi hesitated and said, "Take it with you and go to Xijing together!"

Hu Feifei said worriedly: "I can only take it with me. If I stay at home, you and I won't worry."

Chen Shi went out again to visit Fu Leisheng in Qiaowan Town. Fu Leisheng was surprised and happy to see him, and said with a smile: "I also planned to go to Huangpo Village to see you, but by chance you came over. When will you leave for Xijing to take the exam?" "

Chen Shi said: "We will go there after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

"It's better to rush for the exam sooner rather than later. There are many evil spirits and robbers on the road, waiting for the opening."

Fu Leisheng said, "If you don't open for three years, you will be open for three years." In the fifty provinces of Xiniu and Xinzhou, there are quite a few Juren, but only 50-60% of those who can make it to Xijing alive. Many Juren died on the way. "

Chen Shi was startled and said, "Shouldn't the government send candidates to Beijing to take the exam?"

That was the old rule. During the era of the True King, people from all over the country would escort people to Beijing. Later, they also sent them for a while, but then they stopped sending them. "

Fu Leisheng said, "There are so many candidates every year, and there are no official positions to arrange them. A lot of people die on the way, and the pressure in Xijing will be less. When you go to Beijing to take the exam, you must be careful on the way."

Chen Shi took out a few volumes of scriptures and said with a smile: "I am now in the Yuanying realm, and my cultivation is extraordinary. I think I can handle it. Mr. Fu, I have copied a few exercises. Do you think there is any suitable for you?"

Fu Leisheng smiled and said: "Kung Fu? At my age, if I practice to the Nascent Soul Realm, I will be able to reach the sky. What other techniques can I practice?"

He took the volumes of scriptures. The first volume was "The Curse of the Precious Moonlight Peacock King Ming". He opened it and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed. This method was used to refine the golden body of the Precious Moonlight Peacock King Ming. It included the mantra. Dharma mantra.

The skills are divided into nine types of mantras. Each mantra is both a skill and a spell, and it is also a way to temper your body and become a god!

After a small amount of success, he cultivated the true form of the Peacock King. The five-color light behind him stood like a sword. Anyone in the five elements would be injured by the five-color light sword!

And when it comes to fighting, the golden body of King Peacock Ming is even more terrifying, claiming to be indestructible!

Fu Leisheng calmed down and opened the second volume of scripture. This volume of scripture is called "Inner Secret True Treasure". It is an internal cultivation method for the five internal organs. It belongs to the Taoist sect. It can be seen that the five internal organs are hidden. It is an almost magical method.

Fu Leisheng's palms were shaking as he opened the third volume of scripture.

This volume is called "The Eight Powers of Summoning Dragons". It is a fighting method, including marksmanship, which is extremely exquisite.

"Can you do all three?" Fu Leisheng's heart was trembling, and he raised his head and asked.

Chen Shi smiled and said: "It was originally a New Year's gift for you, just accept it."

Fu Leisheng's heart was beating wildly. Just now he said that he was old and had no interest in any exercises, but now he feels that he is interested again.

These three techniques are obviously top-notch techniques. If he can practice successfully, the Nascent Soul realm will definitely not be his end!

Even becoming a god, descending from the gods, refining the void, and integrating may not be his end!

"Mr. Fu, there is a small organization under our San people called Tianting——·——·

Chen Shi eloquently explained Tianting's philosophy and said with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Fu is interested in joining Tianting?"

Fu Leisheng smiled and said: "This is a righteous act, of course I will join. When will the true king raise the flag of righteousness and rebel?"

Chen Shi laughed and said: "Sir, what nonsense are you talking about? I am loyal to the imperial court and I have no second thoughts! Our goal in heaven is to restore the orthodoxy of the Chinese gods and to help the imperial court. Who doesn't know the loyalty of my Xinxiang Xiaoshi? From now on, this will happen Such nonsense, don’t mention it again!”

Fu Leisheng smiled and said, "Of course I won't mention it."

He also has his own heaven code name, sir.

Chen Shi bid farewell to him and returned to Huangpo Village. When Sang Yu saw him, he quickly said: "Master Jieyuan, you have a guest at home."

Chen Shi was confused: "Guest? What kind of guest? Where did he come from?"

"I've never seen him before, I just said he came here on orders."

Chen Shi was even more confused and thought to himself: "Could it be that Lord Wuwang Mansion sent people here? He was being chased by many ghosts and gods in the underworld, and he was also ill and sought medical treatment in a hurry. My place may not be safer than the underworld."

When he returned home, he saw a rather reserved person waiting outside the door. He was wearing a black gauze hat and a round-collar robe. He was an official. He was only thirty or forty years old. When he saw Chen Shi, he took out a portrait and compared it. After a while, he hurriedly put away the portrait and quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"The lower official, Sun Yisheng, was ordered to come to greet the young master and rush to Xijing."

When Chen Shi heard this, he was even more surprised and said with a smile: "Master Sun, have you admitted the wrong person? My name is Chen Shi, and I am not a young master."

Sun Yisheng said with a smile: "Master Chen, don't be joking. Xiaguan came from Xijing and was covered with travel. He walked for several months before arriving at Huangpo Village, Qianyang Mountain, Xinxiang. Lord Chen Tang gave the instructions again and again to Master Xiaguan. Portrait, how can I admit my mistake?"

"Chen Tang?"

Chen Shi felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart and said, "Are you sent by Chen Tang? Chen Tang said that I came back from the dead, a monster created by my grandfather, and a ghost from the underworld. Go back and tell him that I I am living a good life, no need for him to pity me!”

Sun Yisheng hesitated and said: "Master Chen Tang knew that the young master was going to Xijing to take the exam, and was worried about the young master's safety, so he ordered his subordinates to come. There are many people in Xijing who plan to do harm to the young master——-"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Go back and tell him that I don't need him to care!"

He opened the door, walked into the yard, and locked Sun Yisheng out.

Chen Shi sat in Hei Guo's rocking chair, Zheng Zheng was in a trance, and Hei Guo lay beside him.

After a long time, Chen Shi came to the east room, dug out his grandfather's sundries box, and took out the family portrait.

Grandpa was sitting on a chair, and young Chen Shi was sitting on his lap, being held by him.

Behind him were Chen Tang and a beautiful woman, and everyone was smiling happily.

Chen Shi looked at it for a long time, carefully rolled up the painting, and solemnly put it back in the box.

Those in the painting are his family.

He has never met Chen Tang or his mother.
