On the Avenue

There was silence at the other end of the Qianli Audio Symbol.

"Did he leave...when did he leave?"

The voice on the other side was a little hoarse and sad.

"About six days ago."

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment. He had been feeling dizzy these days, immersed in sadness, and did not count the time. "Dad, will you come back to see grandpa off?"

The voice on the other side hesitated for a moment and said: "You are Xiao Shi, right? Don't call me dad. My son Chen Shi died ten years ago. He was cut off from the divine fetus and died. I Bury him personally,"

Chen Shi's mind was buzzing.

What's going on?

Didn't he die after someone cut off his divine fetus the year before last?

Why did Chen Tang say that he died ten years ago?

Why eight more years?

What happened in the intervening eight years?

The voice on the other side continued: My father has gone crazy. He thought he could still save Chen Shi. He dug Chen Shi’s body out of the grave. He was really crazy. He did a lot of crazy things and caused a lot of trouble. A big disaster. The disaster he caused was more terrifying than the devil!

Later I lost contact with him and he disappeared for eight years without a trace.

Until two years ago, he suddenly contacted me and told me that he had resurrected Chen Shi and asked me if I would go home for the New Year.

He said that the three generations of our ancestors and grandchildren can return to the way they used to be.

But I know I can never go back. My son has been dead for eight years.

Listening to the voice, Chen Shi could imagine that the middle-aged man opposite him was shaking his head and saying: "I don't know what he resurrected. But I know that the person he resurrected is definitely not my son. He summoned him from the underworld." Come on.”

"I hate him. I hate that he wanders away without caring about his family. I hate that he didn't teach me strong skills. I hate that I can't protect this family. I hate that he didn't come back earlier. If he had been at home, Chen Shi would not have been distracted. The matter of the fetus.”

"I still wonder why he couldn't let me go, why he kept me immersed in the pain of losing his son, and why he kept torturing me. I hate him for using Chen Shi's corpse to do all kinds of crazy experiments. To create you Such a monster..."

The middle-aged man opposite seemed to be venting his dissatisfaction with his grandfather over the years, pouring out the grievances in his heart.

He was silent for a moment and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm a little rude. I will send someone to attend the funeral and repair his grave. You...if you want to go to the city, I will ask someone to bring you here and give you a good background." . But I will not recognize you, you are not my son..."

"No, thank you Chen Tang." Chen Shi said.

The Thousand Miles Sound Symbol burned cleanly and the fire disappeared.

Chen Shi's face gradually dimmed and he murmured: "No need to come, thank you..."

He walked out of the room dumbly and sat on the threshold.

The moonlight was like a flower, shining on his shoulders.

When Black Pot came to his side, Chen Shi stretched out his arms and hugged Gouzi's neck, dazed.

On the day the coffin was buried, many people came to see it off. A group of foxes appeared on the hillside not far away, and they kowtowed to the coffin from a distance.

Another green sheep came to the foot of a tree not far away, stood up like a human, held three sticks of incense in its paws, and offered sacrifices from a distance.

Several unfamiliar faces came to the funeral. When they said goodbye to the coffin, they knocked on the coffin intentionally or unintentionally, listening to the sounds coming from inside. Their expressions changed slightly and they remained silent.

Jin Hongying came behind them, grabbed the back of one person's neck, and lifted that person up.

"Master Jin, we are from Xijing and we are under orders to do things. Don't embarrass us little people."

The man whispered.

"Are you from Xijing?"

Jin Hongying felt awe-struck in her heart.

He snorted, put him down, and whispered: "Get out."

The few people left in a hurry, discussing among themselves: "The coffin is empty, there are only some clothes. How should I explain when I go back? Should I say he is dead or alive?"

"Report it truthfully, and the superiors will make their own decisions!"

Chen Shi's ears moved, listening to the discussion of these people, and following the sound, he saw that those people had disappeared.

"Mother-in-law, those people just said there was no grandfather's body in the coffin. What's going on?"

Chen Shi asked Granny Sha.

Grandma Sha said: "It was originally a tomb without a body. Old Chen died two or three months ago, so he stayed in the world because he couldn't let you go. He was exposed to the moonlight and became confused and unconscious. He gradually lost his mind and turned into a ghost. Zhigui. He fought against the evil Bodhisattva again, and his faith was broken by the evil Bodhisattva. He had a tendency to become a demon, but he practiced the water-fire refining method, which was the way to dissolve the corpse into an immortal. This time, his body was immortal. , He went there in the flesh.”

Chen Shi was stunned, and then he was ecstatic: "Grandpa is still alive?"

"Dead!"

Grandma Sha corrected him and said: "He has been dead for almost three months. His physical lifespan has expired. He just used the method of decomposing the corpse to make himself look like he is still alive."

"Grandpa is still alive!" Chen Shi said excitedly.

Grandma Sha frowned slightly and said: "You are really dead, but you don't understand the method of the Corpse Discipline Immortal. The Corpse Discipline Immortal is a different kind of immortality. This method emphasizes the water and fire, and it is the method of refining the corpse and resurrecting it..."

"Grandpa is still alive, living in the underworld." Chen Shi smiled and cried.

Grandma Sha frowned. This kid was crazy and didn't even listen to what she said.

But as an elder, I must explain it clearly to him to avoid misunderstanding.

"Xiao Shi, do you know ghost immortals?" Ghost immortals are people who turn into ghosts after death and receive people's incense and sacrifices. The ghosts persist for a long time and live forever, so they become immortals. Because they have no physical body, they are called ghost immortals. "

Granny Sha patiently explained: "The one who is higher than the ghost immortal is the zombie immortal. The so-called zombie immortal is a person whose body does not decay after death. It can hide from the sky and cross the sea. It has experienced the tempering of fire and water tribulations and gained eternal life in death. That’s why it’s called Zhijie Xian. Although it lasts forever, your grandfather needs to die once.”

Chen Shi smiled and said: "I know, but I know that he is still alive. His death is in the underworld. We, the two of us, cannot meet each other, but he is still alive."

Grandma Sha shook her head: "This child is probably too sad and stunned."

Chen Shi became more optimistic and in better spirits. He knew that his grandfather was still alive.

The reason why grandpa left was not because he died, but because he didn't want to harm it, he didn't want to harm the world, and he didn't want to become an evil spirit who only knew how to kill.

He was in high spirits. As long as his grandfather didn't die, the two of them would see each other again one day.

"Xiao Shi, sister is leaving!"

After the funeral, Jin Hongying said goodbye to him. She bowed her waist and her chest was heavy. She pinched his cheek and said with a smile: "When you pass the examination, come to Xijing to find me. My sister will arrange for you to enter the Shenji Camp. We have agreed. ”

She bumped Chen Shi's arrow with her shoulder and said with a low smile, "We can still develop some relationships."

She turned to look at Li Tianqing, leaving Chen Shi with a red face. Then she saw Jin Hongying rubbing Li Tianqing's shoulder, leaving Li Tianqing with a red face.

"Chen Shi, our grandfather and grandson are leaving too!"

Li Jindou sat in the basket and said to Chen Shi: "We say goodbye this time. I don't know when we will see each other again. But after a while, Xiao Tianqing should come over. He found that treasure ship, and the Li family will definitely send someone to check it out. , should let him lead the way.”

Li Tianqing took out some old books, put them in Chen Shi's hands, and said, "These are the books I promised you. When the Li family comes, I won't disturb you so as not to bring you any danger."

He thought for a while and said: "The treasure ship is too dangerous. I'm afraid not many people coming this time will be able to go back alive."

Li Jindou hit him hard on the head and said, "Won't you tell them that the treasure ship is dangerous? Besides, the Li family has many experts. No matter how dangerous the treasure ship is, can it be more dangerous than the kiln factory?"

Li Tianqing thought for a while and said: "Probably more dangerous than the kiln factory."

Li Jindou was startled and hesitated: "Then why don't we tell the Li family about this treasure ship? After all, we are all one family..."

"Grandpa, in order to survive, you must tell the Li family!"

Li Tianqing looked as usual and said: "No matter how dangerous it is we tell them, the Li family will definitely send people here, and there will definitely be heavy casualties. We can't change it."

Li Jindou sighed and said nothing more.

Li Tianqing carried him on his back and left.

"Xiao Shi, if anything happens, go to Gangzi Village to find me!"

Grandma Sha was also about to leave. She hesitated and said, "I still need to use the ram's horn lantern for a while. I want to use it to find someone..."

Chen Shi asked: "My mother-in-law hasn't been found yet?"

"No!"

Granny Sha frowned deeply and said with great worry, "I don't know where this child has gone. It's worrying me to death."

Chen Shi said goodbye to them, but did not see Prince Xiao, so he couldn't help but be startled, "Has Prince Xiao already left?"

He returned home and stood alone in the empty home. He was stunned for a long time, still a little uncomfortable.

He got up again and went outside the village to see his godmother in Huangtugang.

Maybe chatting with Zhu Xiucai will relieve his depression.

When he came to the foot of the loess hillock, he saw Xiao Wangsun standing next to the old willow tree on the hillock, seeming to be talking to Zhu Xiucai, looking quite excited.

Chen Shi was suspicious and was about to step forward when he saw Xiao Wangsun looking gloomy. He took out a cloth bag, hung it on the branch where Zhu Xiucai was hanging, and turned around to leave.

"Senior Xiao, Prince Xiao."

Chen Shi called out, Xiao Wangsun stopped and looked at him, his eyes were red, as if he had cried, but he smiled and said: "It's Xiao Shi, Master Chen has been buried, and I plan to leave, do you have money?" ? Lend me some silver."

Chen Shi took out a few taels of silver, which he exchanged with silver notes.

When Li Jindou, Jin Hongying and others left, he gave them money so that they would not have any money on the way.

Prince Xiao thanked him, accepted the money, and said with a smile: "Now you can hire a carriage."

He had been accustomed to luxury since he was a child, and he had long been unaccustomed to walking. He would rather not go out without a chariot.

Chen Shi handed over another book. Xiao Wangsun opened it and looked at it, slightly stunned.

The handwriting on the book is immature and is the handwriting of a child. It is copied word for word, without any connected characters.

But the book was heavy in his hands.

Because this volume is exactly "Water and Fire Refining Technique".

Chen Yindu risked his life to break into the tomb of the true king and brought out the corpse-dissolving immortal technique.

"My grandfather asked me to give it to you before he died."

Chen Shi smiled.

Xiao Wangsun accepted the "Water and Fire Refining Technique", looked at him deeply, and said: "Master Chen will not take the initiative to leave this technique to me, he will leave it to Granny Sha. He thinks that I am young and do not need it. If you follow this technique, you will do evil. But thank you, Xiao Shi.”

Chen Shi asked: "Senior Xiao is not going to explore the tomb of the true king?"

Xiao Wangsun shook his head and said: A place where porcelain was fired for the true king is so dangerous, let alone the true king's tomb? Not going, hey, how about Wang Sunfu? In the face of this world, are you still not despairing and hanging on the tree? Even if I can open the tomb of the true king and take out the map of the mountains and rivers of the fifty provinces, I will accomplish nothing in the future. How can I not hang myself on the southeast branch?

He laughed and walked away.

"Sing high to get drunk and masturbate, dance for glory, look up to the sky and laugh out loud. How can we be from Penghao? See you in the future, Xiao Shi."

He waved vigorously without looking back.

Chen Shi watched him go away.

When Xiao Wangsun disappeared from sight, Chen Shi withdrew his gaze, walked to the old willow tree, and offered incense to the godmother of the stone tablet.

During the funeral, he had been immersed in grief and did not go out of the village to see Shibei Godmother.

Zhu Xiucai said lazily: "Xiao Shi, that fool just left something on my branch, and I gave it to you!"

Chen Shi also saw Xiao Wangsun hanging a cloth bag at the place where Zhu Xiucai was hanged. He was surprised. He took off the cloth bag and opened it. He saw a square jade seal lying quietly in the cloth bag.

"What's this?"

Chen Shi took it out and looked at it in the sunlight.

The jade seal is engraved with some reverse characters in seal script.

He recognized each word and whispered: "Feng Tian Baozhang, forever guarding the Western Wilderness"

There are also two jade-carved buttons on the seal, one dragon and one tiger, for easy gripping.

"What is this?"

Chen Shi was confused.

"It's just a broken seal that the family has lost. Xiao Shi, you can just take it. If you don't have any money, you can pawn it and sell it for a few taels of silver."

Zhu Xiucai urged, "Is there any more incense? Give me a few sticks of incense, my addiction is getting bigger and bigger."

Chen Shi put the jade seal into his sleeve pocket, took out a few sticks of incense and lit it.

Zhu Xiucai took a long breath of incense and saw that Chen Shi had brought some books. He said happily: "You have a new book? Is it a book by the Master? I have studied the Master the most. Come, let me tell you about it."

In Qiaowan Town, Xiao Wangsun hired a carriage and was driving across the stone bridge across the river to Buffalo County. Suddenly the car suddenly sank, and Jin Hongying's sneer came from outside.

"Old thief Xiao, please hand over the Xiwang Jade Seal quickly. I will spare your life today. If you are nagging me, I will send you on your way."

Xiao Wangsun sighed, suddenly rushed out of the carriage and ran away.

Jin Hongying chased after him and shouted: "If you don't hand over the Xiwang Jade Seal, I will chase you to the end of the world, girl, and I won't let you go."

Hell!

After crossing the Naihe Bridge of Wangchuan River, the underworld becomes vast, dark and full of dangers.

Chen Yindu was not afraid at all.

His body is in the underworld, and his strength is at its peak. Even if the underworld is full of evil spirits and demons, he still runs rampant.

He went deep into the underworld, trying to find its secrets.

Looking for the being who left ghost fingerprints on Chen Shi's chest.

"You are a hero in life, and you are a hero in death. Xiao Shi, my grandpa is in the underworld first, carving out a great empire for you, and will succeed you to the throne after your death."
