On the Avenue

Chapter 27: Gossip stirs up storms, two worlds shuttle through the Dragon Gate

"It has turned into bones, but it is still alive?"

Chen Shi's heart jumped, and he struggled to pry open the fingers of the thin and tall skeleton holding the bronze lamp, and swam upstream with the bronze lamp.

The bronze lamp did not seem big in the hands of the thin and tall skeleton, but in Chen Shi's hands, it was almost as tall as him, scary big, and also very heavy.

He looked back and saw that the thin and tall skeleton had completely awakened, and seemed to be extremely angry. Only the skeletal legs were left squatting on the riverbed, and he jumped up, wanting to jump up and chase Chen Shi!

There was a crisp sound, and one of the thigh bones of the thin and tall skeleton was broken, and the direction of the jump was also tilted, falling to one side.

Chen Shi was both shocked and amused.

The bones of the thin and tall skeleton were covered with scars, some were injured by sharp weapons, some were hit by blunt weapons, and there were traces of magic burning.

It cannot use force, otherwise these damaged bones will break.

Not only that, Chen Shi also saw that several of its ribs were broken, and no one knew where they fell.

Now that one of its legs was broken, it swam like a three-legged toad, and its posture was indescribably ridiculous.

But despite its ridiculousness, its swimming speed was still far better than Chen Shi!

Chen Shi did not dare to neglect it, and swam to the surface of the river with all his strength. As he swam, all kinds of thoughts came to his mind.

"The reason why the tall and thin skeleton is still alive is that he, like me, also traveled from the world of the living to the underworld, so his flesh and blood turned into bones.

"I'm afraid this copper lamp is definitely not Granny Sha's treasure, but his treasure!

"Granny Sha is thinking about this copper lamp, this thing must be extraordinary. But why is Granny Sha sure that the copper lamp will definitely fall into the Forgetful River? Yes, at that time, this person must have suffered a fatal injury and fell into the Forgetful River with the copper lamp!

"Granny Sha was not sure whether this person was dead or not, so she waited for nine years. In nine years, this person must have died from his injuries, so she asked me to go down to the river to look for the lantern.

"But Granny Sha didn't expect that this person would enter the Wangchuan River, his flesh and blood would disappear, leaving only bones, and his fatal injury would disappear. But he couldn't get out of the river, so he could only sleep at the bottom of the river."

Just when he thought of this, he suddenly saw wooden boats on the river, coming from all directions.

There were extremely powerful figures standing on the wooden boats, and they were the tall and thin weirdos!

Chen Shi was shocked. If he went up now, he would be caught by these tall and thin weirdos and eaten on the spot!

He was about to turn around, but he saw the tall and thin skeleton below chasing him.

Chen Shi held the copper lantern in both hands and kicked the water with his legs, trying to avoid the tall and thin skeleton, but the tall and thin skeleton was getting closer and closer to him!

On the river above, a green stone road came from the world of the living and went straight to the Wangchuan River. At the end of the bluestone, Granny Sha's small body stood majestically on the altar.

A row of wooden boats came into her sight, which made her heart tighten.

"Oh no. These old enemies are coming so fast!"

She knew that if the passage was occupied by these ghosts, Chen Shi would definitely have difficulty coming in. She was afraid that he would be caught and eaten by the ghosts before he even showed up. She immediately made up her mind and took a step forward, walking on the blue stone road.

"The Emperor of Heaven gave birth to me, the Emperor of Heaven raised me, the sun and the moon shine on me, the Big Dipper assists me, the mountains and rivers guide me, the hundreds of gods serve me, the yin and yang connect me, the wind god sends me, the heavenly kitchen provides me, the purple clouds cover me, and the magic medicine cures me!"

The little old woman's clothes were fluttering, and there were loud voices all around.

"There are endless exchanges. If you enter the sea, you will go out of the gate of heaven. If you enter the river, you will go out of the gate of the earth! God of destiny has raised me. What can I not ask for? What can I not predict!"

She was surrounded by divine light, showing the strange phenomenon of the Big Dipper circling around her, the sun and the moon hanging down, the yin and yang connecting, the purple clouds forming a canopy, and the divine light that penetrated her body condensed into a magical medicine behind her, and the runes intertwined to form the shape of the Eight Trigrams furnace outside her body.

The so-called Tai Shang Eight Trigrams Body Protection Talisman is actually a simplified version of her Tai Shang Eight Trigrams Body Protection Secret!

Granny Sha met the wooden boats.

"Xiao Shi, follow my drum sound and return!"

Thunder exploded, and suddenly the extremely strong lightning shone down from the water, illuminating the bottom of the Wangchuan River.

Chen Shi tried his best to avoid the pursuit of the thin and tall white bones in the water. He looked up in a hurry and saw that there seemed to be an imperial daughter shrouded in brilliant golden light on the river. She was majestic and powerful. With every move, she turned the world upside down and fought with the inhuman wooden boat monsters!

The drums vibrated, accompanied by rustling sounds, and the drum beats became more and more frequent!

The drums came from the world of the living, guiding Chen Shi and urging him to go to the world of the living quickly.

"Om--"

A huge Bagua rune trembled, one long and two short, and passed through the Wangchuan River, driving the flood, making Chen Shi and the thin and tall white bones unstable.

The Bagua rune suddenly turned into a mountain, rising from the water to the sky, suppressing a wooden boat monster.

Granny Sha's voice came from the river: "Come on! Nine years ago, I went to the underworld alone and snatched the soul of that child. I was not afraid of you then, and I am not afraid of you today!"

"Hu——"

Suddenly, the Zhen hexagram rune from the Eight Diagrams entered the water, and when it jumped out of the water, it turned into thunder. Thick lightning struck the river surface, and lightning flashed, and groups of thunder and fire ran wildly on the river surface!

The Li hexagram turned into flames, the Xun hexagram turned into a roaring black wind, the Kun hexagram turned into thick yellow soil, and the Qian hexagram turned into the blue sky, making the surface of the Wangchuan River dark!

The Wangchuan River was swept by this terrifying wave, and Chen Shi and the tall and thin skeleton were unstable.

They had no flesh and blood, and it was inconvenient to paddle in the river with bones. Coupled with the impact of the water flow, it was even more unstable.

Fortunately, Chen Shi is a skeleton and does not need to breathe, otherwise he would have drowned in the water.

"Is Granny so strong?"

Chen Shi was extremely surprised. Granny Sha looked like a little old woman in the countryside. She knew some means of summoning souls and relied on summoning souls to support her family. He did not expect that her strength was so tyrannical!

A blue stone road, connecting the Yin and Yang worlds, even stepped on the stone road and came to the Wangchuan River in the underworld to save him!

Is this something a little old woman in the countryside can do?

"Grandpa said that when I was injured, she ran around for me and tried every means to summon my soul."

Chen Shi suddenly thought, if Granny Sha used all her strength to summon her own soul, how spectacular would the scene be?

But he didn't remember anything.

All the memories of two years ago turned into a dream bubble, a blank.

Chen Shi tried to swim to the blue stone road, but was overturned by the rapids again and again.

The water flow here is getting faster and faster, and the closer it is to the water surface, the faster it is. The strength of the wooden boat monsters is also extraordinary. What's more important is that there are many of them, and they are increasing!

More wooden boats are rushing from a distance, each with a thin and tall monster on it, joining the battle and besieging Granny Sha!

Even though the Tai Shang Bagua Body Protection Technique is extremely powerful, Granny Sha is also struggling.

Chen Shi looked up from below, and saw that bluestones kept flying up and exploding on the blue stone road, making this road connecting the two worlds shorter and shorter!

There are too many of these thin and tall monsters coming, and I'm afraid Granny Sha will soon not be able to hold on!

The drumbeats are getting more and more urgent, and it is obvious that Granny Sha is very anxious.

Chen Shi gradually became anxious, and the thin and tall white skeleton who was rolling with him in the rapids was also constantly approaching him. It won't take long before he can be caught.

Suddenly, Chen Shi saw a bone fish more than ten feet long in the rapids. It was Da Gun. He was moved and stopped fighting the current. Instead, he swam along the current towards Da Gun.

The Da Gun was charging against the current. Although it had also turned into a skeleton, the fish bones and fins on its body still maintained the shape of a fish. It swam much faster than Chen Shi and the tall and thin skeleton.

Da Gun was coming towards him. Chen Shi immediately held the copper lamp in one hand and grabbed the fish fin with the other hand. He suddenly felt a huge pulling force on his hand, and violent turbulence came. Da Gun took him to gallop in the water at a very fast speed!

Chen Shi was surprised and happy. Suddenly, Da Gun's speed slowed down a little. Looking back, he saw the tall and thin skeleton grabbing Da Gun's fish tail and climbing up with his hands crossed.

"The ghost is still there!"

Chen Shi gritted his teeth, and his two arms passed through the sheep's horns one after another. He put the sheep's horn copper lamp behind his back and climbed forward with his hands crossed.

The tall and thin skeleton was faster, and the body of the big gun was only ten feet long. It would not take long for the tall and thin skeleton to catch him.

Chen Shi lowered his head and climbed forward, but the fish bones on the fish's back were too thick. He almost slipped down while holding the fish bones. He had to climb hard and came to the spine. He used his hands and feet to step on the big bones on the fish's belly and tried to climb to the fish's gills.

The tall and thin skeleton was chasing him from behind. The big skeleton hands, which were four times larger than those of ordinary people, opened and grabbed his hind legs.

Chen Shi quickly retracted his legs to avoid the grab. Finally, he came to the fish's gills and quickly got in.

The tall and thin skeleton also came to the fish's gills, but his body was too big to get in, so he had to stretch out his long arms and struggle to grab inside.

Chen Shi hid in the fish's mouth and tried his best to avoid the big skeleton hands.

The bone tips of the big skeleton hands were extremely sharp. If they touched, they would easily cut his bones!

Suddenly, Chen Shi's eyes fell on the fishhook on the throat bone of Da Gun. This fishhook and iron chain were hung on the throat bone of Da Gun when he entered the Wangchuan River.

Chen Shi immediately took off the fishhook, tied the iron chain to his somewhat thin right arm bone, and smashed it against the white bone hand.

There were many deep wounds on the white bone hand. If he could break it, he would be less threatened.

Unexpectedly, his fist wrapped with iron chains just touched the arm bone of the big hand, and he was shaken so much that his whole body seemed to fall apart, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

The big hand sensed the touch and immediately turned to grab Chen Shi.

At the same time, Da Gun swam faster and faster, and suddenly a faint blue light came from nowhere, drowning Chen Shi, the thin and tall white bones, and Da Gun!

At the same time, Granny Sha's blue stone road also collapsed. Granny Sha, who was standing at the end of the stone road, sighed helplessly, and her body was pulled by an invisible force and retreated to the sun.

"Buzz!"

On the altar next to Dejiang, the space shook violently, and Granny Sha's figure suddenly appeared on the altar, and her breath fell rapidly.

The surging air waves caused by the space vibrations hit the five ghost kings so hard that they could not stand steadily and slid backwards. The altar was also pressed and collapsed with a rumble!

Granny Sha looked straight ahead. On the river surface in front of her, the black air collapsed, and the blue stone road completely collapsed and disappeared.

Her body trembled, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

She still couldn't save the child.

Just like that year.

At this moment, the river surface suddenly cracked, and a big fish with a blue-black light all over its body jumped out of the water, opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, and spit out a black shadow with a puff.

The shadow stretched out in the air. It was Chen Shi, who was small. On his back was a copper lamp with a goat horn that was almost as tall as him. The lamp was still on, emitting a faint light.

Chen Shi stretched his body in the air and fell towards the shore. He was holding a piece of iron chain in his hand, and at the end of the chain was a big fish hook.

It seems that the fishhook got stuck in Da Gun's throat, so Da Gun couldn't swallow it, so he had to spit it out.

On Da Gun's gills, there was a monster with a human body and a horse head. It was thin and tall, as tall as three or five adults, but it was covered in blood, wounds, and one leg was broken.

This horse-headed monster was the thin and tall skeleton who was chasing Chen Shi. He was the underworld messenger. Because of his serious injuries, he had to hide under the Wangchuan River to save his life. At this moment, Chen Shi stole the sheep-horn copper lamp, and he didn't care about his serious injuries and followed Da Gun to the world of the living.

Like Chen Shi and Da Gun, he recovered his flesh and blood body in the moment he shuttled through.

When the flesh body recovered, the injuries also recovered.

Its injuries were much more serious than those nine years ago!

The horse-headed monster would never allow the sheep-horn copper lamp to be stolen, and immediately jumped up on one leg and rushed to Chen Shi from behind.

Granny Sha was dumbfounded, not knowing the reason.

With a loud bang, Chen Shi bent his knees and landed steadily.

Behind him, Da Gun jumped out of the water again, opened his bloody mouth, swallowed the horse-headed monster that pounced on him in mid-air, and plunged into the water again with a bang, splashing several feet high.
