On the Avenue

There was silence all around, except for the sound of Black Pot's footsteps running towards him.

At this time, a weak voice sounded: "There is no living person, not a single one————."

Chen Shi walked over following the sound and saw an uprooted wisteria.

Under the wisteria, a woman in purple clothes was sitting in the dirt, covered with scars.

She is the godmother of this village. Her real body is a wisteria. She has lived for thousands of years. Over time, she has channeled spirits and cultivated her divine form in the incense. She has become the godmother who protects this village.

But now, the roots of the wisteria have been broken, the branches and leaves have withered, and her life is not long.

Chen Shi came to the scene and saw traces of fighting all around. Thinking that when ghosts invaded, the godmother fought hard to protect the villagers, but in the end she failed to save the village.

Chen Shi dug up the soil, put her roots back in place, and covered them with soil.

The woman in purple shook her head and said angrily: "I can't live anymore. There is no need to save me. My roots have been broken. Even if I survive, I will gradually die because there is no sacrifice from the human race. The weather is getting colder and colder. In the darkness, I can’t hold on for long.”

Chen Shi knelt down, helped her up, and let her lean on the wisteria.

Chen Shi lit an incense stick, placed it at her feet, and said, "Fellow Taoist, what else do you have in mind?"

The woman in purple shook her head numbly: "No more, my people are all dead. I was born because of the sacrifices of my people, and I will eventually die because of their death."

Chen Shi bowed to her. Perhaps in good times, this godmother could become a god in the nearby area. But now, this place is no man's land.

He stood up and walked out of the village.

"My rotten fragrance may allow her to hold on for a while longer." Chen Shi said to the man next to him.

They walked out of the village, Xiao tugged on his clothes and pointed back.

Chen Shi looked back and saw that under the wisteria, the woman in purple stretched out her fingers and snuffed out the rotten fragrance in front of her.

Chen Zhengzheng did not light another stick of incense for her.

There is no greater sorrow than death in the heart.

All the people of this godmother died, and she also lost the courage to live.

Chen Shi and Xiao boarded the wooden cart. In the distance, several ghosts and monsters looked furtively towards them. Black Pot chased them, and the ghosts fled in a hurry. At this time, an angry shout came from the distance: "Dog! Dog! Whose dog is this!"

The black pot ran back and barked at Chen Shi twice.

Chen Shi got out of the car, motioned for Xiao to stay in the car, and followed the black pot.

A shepherd ghost was restraining those ghosts. When he saw him coming, he said angrily: "Who are you? You are so bold. You dare to let the dogs do evil. Do you know whose territory this is? Do you know this? Whose animal is it?”

The shepherd ghost was tall, five or six feet tall, with several baskets hanging on his back. In the baskets were several small yakshas burning incense.

Chen Shi glanced at the ghosts around the shepherd ghost. They were the same as the man-eating ghosts in Shicai Village. It was obvious that this shepherd ghost was herding and eating people here.

"I'm sorry for my ignorance, but I wonder whose animal this is?" he asked with a kind smile on his face.

The shepherd ghost felt relieved when he heard the nonsense he was saying, and said: "This is the livestock of Fengyang Jun's family! Your dog ate the livestock of Fengyang Jun's family. Do you know your sin?"

"Convicted! Convicted!"

Chen Shi bowed and said, "My dog ​​has always been vicious and difficult to discipline. When I saw these animals, I thought they were wild animals, but I didn't expect them to be domesticated. I wonder where Mr. Fengyang is? I might as well come and apologize."

The shepherd ghost heard this and said, "Are you a cultivator? No wonder you are so polite. Lord Fengyang has always been hospitable to guests. Seeing that you are so knowledgeable and courteous, I will definitely not blame you."

Chen Shi said: "I was the number one scholar in the Yang Realm."

The shepherd ghost suddenly understood and said with a smile: "No wonder, no wonder. Fengyang Jun likes to interact with scholars, and there were scholars who came to visit a few days ago. I heard that Fengyang Jun was also a big shot in the world of the world during his lifetime. He once passed the exam and was very happy. Famous."

Chen Shi's eyes flashed: "What is the surname of Fengyang Jun? In which year was he the top pick?"

Mugui said: "My surname is Xia. As for the year of Tanhua, I don't know. His old man was sealed here more than two thousand years ago. The area around here is the territory of Lord Fengyang. "

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Can you please take me to see Lord Fengyang?"

"Why not? I lost my animal and I have to go back to explain it. It just so happens that you can give me a nice word."

The shepherd ghost took the remaining ghosts and walked along a river. Chen Shi walked side by side with him, without even touching the ground. When he landed, a wisp of breeze came out and lifted him up.

The shepherd ghost is like two big wheels, rolling like bones.

The wooden cart drove up, carrying the little boy, who looked at the shepherd ghost curiously.

There are canoes floating on the river, and on the boats are people with sinister faces, each carrying a lantern, looking around to capture the souls of the dead.

Their light shines on the ghost, and the ghost will be picked up and land on the boat.

There are also canoes full of ghosts that suddenly speed up and disappear without a trace.

This river has many tributaries, and the Yinzai go deep into various places along the tributaries that extend in all directions. Sometimes the Yinzai will fly up in a canoe and go to other places to attract ghosts. Wherever the canoe passed, a small river automatically formed under the canoe, carrying the canoe for a long distance.

Many ghosts came from all directions, and they seemed to be the people who died in the sun extinguishing incident. They were dragged to the Dejiang River by a strange force, and they boarded canoes one after another, or were photographed by lights.

"Live!"

The people on the river were all paying attention, and they looked at Chen Shi with strange expressions.

A Yin Chai said: "Recently, the two realms of Yin and Yang have merged, and many living people have come to the underworld. I'm not surprised."

They continued to work.

Chen Shi withdrew his gaze and asked, "Where are these ghosts being sent to?"

"I heard it was sent to the underworld."

Mugui said, "Those ghosts are the crops in the field. They always pop up for no reason, and there will be another crop after harvest. But I heard Lord Fengyang said that the two realms of Yin and Yang merged, and there will be less such crops in the future. Harvest. After this, there will be no next one.”

When he said this, several more shepherd ghosts came up with many ghosts and ghosts to join them.

These ghosts are not, but a kind of ghost called beast, which produces a lot of meat, and the meat contains strong yang energy, which is very delicious to the ghosts and gods living in the underworld.

"Si Mu, why do you have so few beasts?" asked a shepherd ghost.

The shepherd ghost next to Chen Shi said helplessly: "I was eaten by this brother's dog. This brother's dog is so scary. With such a small body and open mouth, his head is as big as a hill. I will take him Go to see Lord Fengyang,

Let him apologize so that I can have an explanation. "

Other shepherd ghosts said one after another: "Feng Yangjun is kind to scholars. Brother, if you go ahead, nothing will happen to you."

Chen Shi thanked him and said, "Do you often let your herds go to the village?"

One of the shepherd ghosts said: "We let these beasts go when grazing, and they can eat whatever they want.

Lord Fengyang also said that most of these people who fell into the underworld would not live long and would either starve to death or freeze to death, and they would eat whatever they ate. "

On the way, they encountered some empty villages and towns. There were no living people in them and they must have been eaten up.

However, Chen Shi also saw that there were still living people in some villages, and these villages worshiped the Empress of Hongshan.

"This is Gongzhou!"

He suddenly realized that the Wangchuan River he saw just now should be the Minjiang River!

However, after the Yin and Yang realms merged, the geography changed drastically, and he didn't recognize it for a while.

They passed by a swamp. Chen Shi looked around and saw that the swamp was filled with resurgent lotus as far as the eye could see. There were also many ghosts walking in the swamp. If they were not careful, they would be ignited by will-o'-the-wisps.

"This lotus field——" Chen Shi was satisfied.

The shepherd ghost named Si Mu said: "This lotus field is also Fengyang Lord's property. It produces the soul-reviving lotus. This thing can strengthen the soul, extend life, and make the soul strong for a long time. There are many places in the underworld suitable for planting soul-reviving lotus. "Many, this swamp is a treasure."

Chen Shi looked indifferent and said: "If you use your soul to plant the soul-reviving lotus, won't the underworld care about it?"

"The underworld of Yincao and Lord Fengyang are the same family. I once saw ghosts and gods coming to the underworld, and they called Lord Fengyang uncle." A shepherd ghost said with a smile.

Over the lotus field, there were huge ghosts and gods hiding in the clouds. They were sleeping soundly. They were awakened by their voices. They turned over, poked their heads out of the clouds, looked at them, and then turned over and fell asleep again.

Si Mu laughed quietly and said: "This lazy guy lost a lot of Resurrection Lotus in the past few years and was severely punished by Fengyang Junlang.

It is said that a giant black dog broke into the lotus field, frightened him half to death, and watched people eat the resurrection lotus.

For this, Lord Fengyang whipped him more than a hundred times.

2

When he said this, he suddenly felt comfortable, looked at Chen Shi, then at the black pot, and thought to himself: "This man also brings a black dog. But, it's not such a coincidence, is it?"

The shepherd ghosts grabbed the beasts, walked around the lotus field, and walked into the distance.

At this time, the ghost statue hidden in the clouds suddenly remembered something, screamed suddenly, opened its eyes, and leaned over to look at Chen Shi and Hei Guo, who had already walked away.

"Why does that kid look so much like the little thief who stole the ancestor's Resurrection Lotus? However, the dog next to him doesn't look like him."

He lay back again and said with a smile, "That giant black dog is really scary, but it's just a puppy. More shepherd ghosts drove them over and joined their team. The shepherd ghosts inquired and laughed. : "Mr. Fengyang treats scholars kindly. You are the number one scholar, so you will definitely be fine if you go and make amends. "

Chen Shi thanked him.

At this time, a villa came into view. The palaces in the villa were orderly and well-proportioned. Even in the underworld, they still showed the graceful style of Jiangnan.

It is hard to imagine that such a beautiful place still exists in this doomsday situation.

Surrounding the villa are ghost villages of various sizes, inhabited by ghosts and gods, served by small yakshas. Their bodies are often hundreds or hundreds of feet tall, which is astonishing.

Chen Shi's eyes swept over these ghosts and gods. The strength of these ghosts and gods was extraordinary, comparable to the masters of the God Refining Realm and the Void Return Realm.

They stared at Chen Shi, Xiao and Heiguo, and watched them arrive in front of the villa.

Si Mu went in to report. Chen Shi looked at the plaque and saw the word Fengyang written on it.

I think this is the origin of the title Fengyang Jun.

After a while, I heard a familiar laughter: "Chen Shi, Senior Brother Chen! The upper world and the upper world said goodbye in a hurry.

I didn’t expect to see you here again! "

Chen Shi paused slightly and saw Xia Jie walking out of Fengyang Villa, followed by several monks. His cultivation was very good and he should be a master of the Xia family. They were living people, and Chen Shi couldn't tell it at the moment.

When Xia Jie saw Chen Shi, he was very enthusiastic and said with a smile: "Last time in the Upper World, you taught me how to shoot in the name of Li Tianqing, which benefited me a lot."

His injuries have healed, and his cultivation has improved compared to when he was in the upper realm. He said: "I watched your battle with Yang Bi, and I gained a lot. After recovering from my injuries this time, I feel that my cultivation strength has made another breakthrough."

Chen Shi also noticed his progress, and his eyes fell on the Xia family masters around him, saying: "Who are they?"

"This is my fourth uncle, Xia Shichang."

Xia Tianjie only introduced an old man, and did not introduce the others. They should be the outer sect masters of the Xia family. Xia Shichang smiled and said: "Chen Zhuangyuan, it's no big deal for your dog to eat a few livestock. You don't have to come and apologize."

Chen Shi said seriously: "If you do something wrong, you must admit it."

Xia Tianjie clapped his hands and laughed: "Well said! I'll take you to see the ancestor Fengyang! You don't know yet, Fengyang Jun is the ancestor of my Xia family, and he has been operating in the underworld for more than 2,000 years."

He extended his hand to invite him and walked side by side with Chen Shi.

Chen Shi asked, "Isn't it that Fengyang Jun runs the Resurrection Lotus in the underworld?"

Xia Tianjie laughed and said, "You know that too?"

Chen Shi said, "The young master made his fortune by stealing the Resurrection Lotus and selling the Resurrection Pill. I ruined his business, so I know a thing or two.

,

Xia Tianjie laughed and said, "The young master came to steal my family's Resurrection Lotus. Fengyang Jun knew it a long time ago, but he deliberately indulged him and turned a blind eye. At that time, our thirteen families were determined to support him as the next generation of the True King, but unfortunately he couldn't get up the wall."

The two walked and talked, going deep into Fengyang Villa.

It was rare to see ghosts and gods in this villa. Maids, servants, and servants were mostly living people.

Chen Shi glanced at a few maids passing by and said, "Brother Xia, I saw Fengyang Jun's livestock eating people on the road, eating up many villages. Now that the disaster has come, the people have fallen into the underworld and it is difficult to survive.

Since Fengyang Jun was once the predecessor of the Xia family, why didn't he restrain the ghosts? At this time, shouldn't he save the world and the people? "

Xia Tianjie was slightly pleased, unconsciously slowed down his pace, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you'd better not go to see Feng Yangjun. I'll take you out."

Behind him, Xia Shichang and other Xia family masters seemed to have noticed something, and they silently activated their skills, and some even secretly prepared to sacrifice their magic weapons.

Chen Shi stopped and said: "Brother Xia, I had a great time in the upper world, exchanging Taoism with you and competing with Yang Bi. I once thought that we might be friends. "

Xia Tianjie smiled: "Isn't it?"

"No."

Chen Shi's tone was flat, but there was a decisive force in his words. At this moment, a strong smell of incense came, and a god came over here, laughing: "Is it the boy scholar? Seeing is believing, the old Feng Yangjun——."

Chen Shi's eyes were full of murderous aura, and lightning burst out under his feet. With a click, his figure flew out!

"Zhoutian Fire Realm!"

He grabbed with his right hand, and with a whoosh, thunder and fire formed a realm of land, whistling and spinning. At the same time, a black iron rod flew out from the small temple behind his head. The fire realm whistled along his arm, surrounded the black iron rod in his hand and came to the top. The complex textures on the iron rod lit up one after another, as if there were thunder and fire burning in the textures!

Chen Shi grabbed the rod and smashed it down, hitting Fengyang Jun on the head!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, this stick shattered Fengyang Jun's incense power of more than two thousand years, smashed his top of the head,

spine, smashed his immortal body, and shattered his magic power!

Behind him, Fengyang Villa was smashed into two pieces by a huge black iron rod!

Chen Shi looked back, his face was ferocious.

"You thirteen families regard human life as worthless! And I am this worthless!"
