On the Avenue

"Uncle Yang, you don't suspect that I'm the mastermind, right?" Chen Shi couldn't help but laugh.

Qingyang couldn't help laughing: "Of course I can't doubt you. You were only nine years old at that time! What can a nine-year-old child do? Can a nine-year-old child lead a group of natural disasters to rebel?"

Chen Shi was overjoyed: "I am only nine years old, how can I still go to the underworld and be the emperor of a group of natural disasters and demons? Who among them is not the best among men?"

Who is willing to obey a nine-year-old child? "

"Haha, nine-year-old Demon King!"

Qingyang laughed so hard that he peed his pants, "Are there any of them left?"

Chen Shi laughed until tears flowed down his face and his nose bubbled: "The cyan ghost hand holding my heart can't be one of my subordinates, right?"

The two of them were rolling on the floor laughing.

Qingyang suddenly stopped laughing, looked at him, and said seriously: "What if, I mean what if, they are really your subordinates and you are really the Demon Emperor?"

Chen Shi looked serious and suddenly laughed out loud, saying, "You mean the cyan ghost hands that pinched me to death several times are my subordinates?"

Qingyang let out a laugh and punched the ground hard, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe: "You were pinched to death by him many times, and Granny Sha was the one who summoned the soul for you! Which subordinate would do such a stupid thing?"

Chen Shi laughed so much that he knelt on the ground and held his stomach: "If that's the case, the owner of the blue ghost hand might be a green sheep. Maybe he is Uncle Sheep's father!"

Qingyang stopped laughing and looked serious: "This joke is not funny."

The two looked at each other, couldn't hold it back, and burst out laughing again.

Qingyang laughed so hard that he almost died, panting: "The one who pinched you to death might have been my mother! My mother is also a Qingyang!"

After a long time, the two finally stopped laughing.

Qingyang was lying on the ground, panting, and suddenly said: "Dan Chengzi is in your body. Do you think the other three headmasters are also in your body?"

He was talking about the fourth generation headmaster Zun Guangxian, the seventh generation headmaster Zun Daocheng, and the sixteenth generation headmaster Zun Jingxu.

Back then, Qingyang, Chen Yindu and Patriarch Qiongyang dug the tombs of their ancestors, and found that the tombs of these three masters were also burial mounds, and there were no bones in them.

Chen Shi stood up and sat up suddenly: "It is indeed possible."

Qingyang sat up and said: "Of these four leaders, the first three are all figures from the True King era. In that era, the life span of monks was still very long, and they could live for thousands of years, unlike now, which only has a life span of a hundred years. They faked their death , The plan is very big.”

Chen Shi thought about it: "Apart from the four heads of the Taihua Qing Palace, what about other holy places?"

Qing Yang was stunned.

yes.

In the Taihua Qing Palace, four leaders faked their death, abandoned their bodies, turned into natural disasters, and hid in the underworld. What about other holy places?

Are the other two holy places of Taoism, Taishang Haoyuan Palace and Tianshi Mansion, so peaceful?

The three holy places of Buddhism, Shuiyue Scenic Spot, Dabaoguo Temple and Bodhi Dojo, do not seem to be peaceful people.

So, could a group of the sect leaders of these holy lands have turned into natural disasters and hidden in Chen Shi's sea of ​​consciousness?

Qingyang frowned, if those natural disasters were really the masters of the major holy places seeking immortality, then do they still need to exorcise the demons? How to get rid of the devil?

Chen Shi was thoughtful and murmured: "The Thirteenth Aristocratic Family prepares the upper world as a backup plan, and the Six Holy Lands of Buddhism and Taoism prepares natural disasters as a backup plan.

This is interesting. "

"Most of their targets are Despair Slope and the True God Tianwai." Qingyang said.

Chen Shi's eyes flashed, thinking of the young man who sacrificed his innate Tao fetus.

"Desperate Slope—"

The celebration of the Return of the Immortal Sword in Taihua Qing Palace was held as scheduled. People from other major holy places also came, and it was very lively. Officials from nearby states and counties also came to celebrate. The most surprising thing was that Yan Xianzhi, the chief minister of the cabinet, actually Here too.

The former headmaster of Taihua Qing Palace changed his religion and almost turned into a natural disaster, destroying the Lone Star Province. Everyone kept silent about this matter and only congratulated the immortal sword for returning to the mountain.

The first assistant, Yan Xianzhi, also represented the court and greatly encouraged Taoist Chang Ying, not mentioning that he came with the immortal family's most important treasure, Wuying Palace, to eliminate Jinghong. If the power of that heavy treasure explodes, I am afraid that even the Taihua Qing Palace will be razed to the ground.

"Master Xiao Chen!"

After greetings, Yan Xianzhi called Chen Shi and said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Chen, long time no see."

Chen Shi saw the courtesy and complimented: "Master Yan's body is stronger than when I was in Xijing."

Yan Xianzhi said with a smile: "You surnamed Chen are not in Xijing, and I feel fuller than before. I heard that Mr. Chen is slaying demons in Qianyang Mountain these days. How is it going?"

Chen Shi told the truth: "The demons in my body have all been removed."

Yan Xianzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a half-smile: "I have heard about this too. After the devil has been eradicated, you are relieved, and the court is also relieved."

When Chen Shi thought that there might be some old scum from the Six Holy Lands in his body, he frowned and sighed quietly.

When Yan Xianzhi saw this, he understood and said with a smile: "Do you think that after you get rid of the demon, you will lose one of your life-saving talismans? Xiao Chen, you can't think like that. You are the official of the imperial court, who dares to touch you? You? If you touch you, you will touch the court!"

People are in high spirits during happy events, and he speaks much more briskly: "It's just that from now on, you can't be as rough as before. There is no guarantee that someone is not afraid of the court and will kill you because of your high level of cultivation. The court can only help you take care of your funeral. You won’t survive the arrest of that man.”

Chen Shi looked sad.

Yan Xianzhi felt refreshed and said: "Also, when you meet someone with a higher rank than you in the future, you should bow your head when you should, and you should kneel down when you need to. You are just a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, from an official of the fifth rank, The official position is much higher than yours. Don't always call others heartless - I'm not asking you to kneel to me, I'm just trying to be a good person, stand up straight!"

Chen Shi cheered up, stood up straight, and said seriously: "Sir, after the official got rid of the demon, he found that there were still several natural disasters lurking in his body. Can the court help me?"

Yan Xianzhi was very satisfied with his attitude and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, you are an official of the imperial court. The imperial court is not obliged to help you, but it does not necessarily mean that we will help you. This has to be discussed in the imperial court. Just wait. ---Wait a moment!"

His expression changed slightly: "How many what?"

"Several natural disasters."

Chen Shi was filled with sorrow and said, "Uproot all the demon queens and they will appear."

Yan Xianzhi shuddered and laughed, "Mr. Chen is really good at joking, really good... Changying, Taoist priest Changying!"

He left Chen Shi and walked directly to Taoist Changying. He exchanged greetings with Changying and said with a smile: "As the chief assistant, I shoulder the heavy responsibility of the fifty states of Xiniu Xinzhou. It has been some time since I left Xijing. Today's celebration is held It's great, but it's a pity that I can't stay. Farewell, farewell!"

Taoist Changying was stunned, but did not dare to stop him and hurriedly sent him off respectfully.

Yan Xianzhi hurriedly left as if avoiding the god of plague.

Taoist Changying was puzzled and said in a low voice: "Sir Yan waited for more than ten days in Youzhou City before holding the Immortal Sword Returning to the Mountain Ceremony. He could wait for more than ten days, why didn't he even bother to eat a meal?"

At this grand event, Taoist Chang Ying showed the Zhenwu Evil-killing Sword to all the guests. The Immortal Sword was sacrificed and Xia Guang said, and everyone cheered.

In order to demonstrate the power of the fairy sword, Taoist Chang Ying ordered a black pig spirit to be brought in. He sacrificed the fairy sword and the rays of light swept across. The black pig spirit died suddenly with only half of his body left.

Everyone was amazed.

After the grand meeting, Taoist Changying left the four elders of Taihua to guard the Taoist gate. Together with Patriarch Qiongyang, he brought many accomplished Taoists to Qianyang Mountain and prepared to take back the body of Taoist Tianzhen.

However, it is not easy for the real body to enter the underworld safely, but fortunately, the Hongshan Hall Talisman Master Association has a passage into the underworld in Qianyang Mountain.

When a living person enters the underworld, his lifespan will be shortened due to the invasion of yin energy. A cultivator will also have his cultivation damaged due to yin energy, so he cannot stay in the underworld for a long time.

Chen Shi drew some Yin-hugging talismans and gave them to the Taoist priests. With these talismans, there was no need to worry about being invaded by evil spirits.

Taoist Changying and others entered the underworld from Qianyang Mountain, and then entered Yinshan Mountain through the broken bridge of Hongshan Hall. When the Taoists walked down the broken bridge, they saw a thousand-foot-long divine corpse hanging on Wuliang Cliff. All the Taoists said: "Everyone, this is the underworld. There are ghosts and gods everywhere, so be careful."

All the Taoists looked solemn and nodded.

At this moment, a ghost and god hundreds of feet tall came towards him. Taoist Changying looked awe-inspiring, and all the Taoists were secretly on guard, with great fear in their hearts.

There are strong and weak ghosts and ghosts. The strong ones are comparable to the monks in the Mahayana realm, the weak ones are the Nascent Soul realm in the Golden Core realm, and even the weak ones, such as the little yaksha and the bull-headed imp, cannot even defeat an older child.

But these ghosts and gods are definitely the best among masters, and they are extremely numerous.

Especially the dozen or so small ghosts and gods among them put more pressure on them, making Taoist Changying and others frightened.

"These ghosts and gods are lord-level existences!"

Patriarch Qiongyang quietly mobilized his Void Realm, and the Thunder Powerful Divine Spell was ready to attack at any time. He whispered to Changying, "I once encountered such a ghost and god. It was extremely powerful. Their strength is not as good as yours." Me, but not that far off.”

Changying's face was solemn.

If it were just one or two lord-level ghosts and gods, it would not be troublesome for them to deal with it, but there are more than ten of these ghosts and gods at this level!

Chen Shi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. These are the ghosts and gods under my command. It's a long way to go to Taoist Tianzhen's Immortal Palace. Some wild ghosts and gods are more dangerous, so I asked them to escort you there."

Changying, Qiongyang and others were shocked and confused. Patriarch Qiongyang lost his voice and said: "A ghost under your demon?"

Chen Shi said humbly: "Grandma Qiongyang, to be honest, I have a small career in the underworld."

"A small business?"

Qiong Yang blinked, "How small?"

"Every territory you look at is mine."

Chen Shi resisted the smile that curled up to the corner of his mouth and said, "A large territory that you can't see is also mine. This is the country I built for my grandfather. After Grandma Qiongyang dies, she can be with my grandfather. Enjoy your life here."

"You are so filial."

Qiong Yang looked into the distance with his eyesight, and murmured, "You burn all your grandfather's love affairs to him, and he will have a place to rest."

Taoist Changying was still nervous when those ghosts and gods came. When he saw the ghosts and gods, he knelt down on one knee and saluted Chen Shi. Chen Shi waved his hands and kept talking nonsense to prevent them from kneeling down.

As expected, these powerful ghosts and gods did not make things difficult for them, escorting them all the way through the vast Yinshan community.

"This place is called Yin Mountain, but there was a very famous name before, called Shiwanda Mountain." Chen Shi said.

Qiong Yang was stunned: "The Yin Mountain is understandable, but the Hundred Thousand Mountains should be the geographical location of the Yang world."

"A long time ago, this place might have been the Yang Realm, but then drastic changes occurred. This place sank into the Underworld, and the Yin and Yang realms merged."

Chen Shi's eyes flashed and he said with a smile, "Maybe in the future, the Yang world we live in will also merge with the underworld."

Patriarch Qiongyang was in a trance, sighed, and whispered: "How long ago did that happen? I'm afraid I won't be able to see it."

Many ghosts and gods escorted them, and they did see many lord-level ghosts and gods on the way, entrenched in the mountains and rivers, commanding large and small ghosts and ghost tribes. Even a famous sect like Taihua Qing Palace would never be able to safely cross Yinshan Mountain without the escort of these ghosts and gods.

They traveled thousands of miles and came to the cracked mountain. Chains were crisscrossed and intertwined, hanging the Immortal Palace between the two mountains.

Chen Shi asked the ghosts and gods to guard at the foot of the mountain, and led Qiong Yang, Chang Ying and others carefully through the rays of light to the front of the Immortal Palace.

"Innocent Taoist, I, Chen Shi, have never broken my promise."

Chen Shi burned incense in front of the Immortal Palace, held the incense and whispered, "I have returned the Zhenwu Evil Sword to Taihua Qingyang Palace. Today, Taoist Chang Ying, the contemporary headmaster of Taihua Qingyang Palace, personally came to welcome the senior home. ”

Incense curls up into the fairy palace.

The fairy light shrouding the portal of the Immortal Palace was slightly turbulent, and slowly dispersed to both sides, revealing half of the body of a thin Taoist priest.

Chen Shi turned sideways and signaled to Taoist Changying.

Taoist Changying calmed down, straightened his crown and clothes, held the incense and entered.

Other Taoists also held incense and walked into the immortal hall.

All the Taoists offered incense.

Taoist Changying paid his respects and said, "Disciple Changying, I am here to welcome Senior Taoist Tianzhen back to Mount Taihua. I have heard that the nature of innocence is the origin of Tao. Return to original life and innocence. Senior, today the fallen leaves have returned to their roots."

The sound of clattering chains was heard. When Chen Shi came outside the Immortal Palace, he saw thick chains pulled out from the cliff, shrinking like spiritual snakes.

"Being treated as a calamity by the True King, and being killed by a fellow sect with the sect's fairy sword, don't you have any resentment?"

Chen Shi whispered, "Just to wait for a word and go home, you are innocent and pure, probably as innocent as a baby, so you can have no resentment. If you had been alive, you might have been able to solve the thorny problem of the monk's evil transformation back then, and you wouldn't have to worry about it anymore." ”

The Immortal Palace shook, carrying all of them up into the sky, suddenly shattering the void and disappearing from the underworld.

The cracked mountain also rumbled back together and became whole again.

The Immortal Palace returned to Taihua Qing Palace and landed on the former site of Qingyang Palace.

Taoist Changying took out the body of Taoist Tianzhen and buried it in the tomb of the ancestor.

Chen Shi went to pay homage and saw a light swaying on the immortal tomb, as if a little Taoist priest was sitting in the light, burning an alchemy furnace and holding a scroll of scripture, shaking his head and studying it.

Chen Shi offered the incense, turned around and left, silently saying in his heart: "In ancient times, there was a real person who lifted heaven and earth, grasped yin and yang, breathed essence, and guarded the spirit independently. His muscles were as one, so he could live long in heaven and earth, and there was no end. This was the birth of innocence. Innocence Taoist, that's probably the case. It's a pity that this world has changed, and it can't tolerate you, nor can it tolerate me. What should I do?"

"Then change the stars and change the world!"
