On the Avenue

"Xiao Shi, you have the talent of number one scholar!" Zhu Xiucai praised under the old willow tree.

As the county examination approached, Chen Shi began to prepare for the examination and came to him every day to study.

Zhu Xiucai also talked about everything he knew, and he explained everything in the Analects, Poems, Books, and the Doctrine of the Mean. Chen Yong kept it in mind and was extremely grateful in his heart. He said: "If I can go to high school in the future, I will give it to the teacher." Set up a tablet and worship it every day.”

Zhu Xiucai was also very happy and said: "I will teach you all my talents and knowledge. The examination room is the battlefield where you will shine. You will definitely go to high school."

"It's also a teacher who teaches well!"

"Oh, the main thing is that you are wise, smart, and perseverant!"

One person and one ghost complimented each other, and everyone was very satisfied.

Chen Shi returned home and continued to copy the "Water and Fire Refining Technique". The copy template was snatched by his grandfather from the tomb of the true king. The books were old and the paper had aged.

He had already copied a copy and gave it to Xiao Wangsun.

This one was copied to Granny Sha.

How to become a corpse-resolving immortal is recorded in the Water and Fire Refining Technique.

This method is extremely strange and requires death once, either by drowning, burning, or being killed by weapons.

Whenever someone dies and is buried, he will remain immortal for seven hundred years.

After seven hundred years, the body began to decay, and then the beauty of the Water and Fire Refining Technique came.

The sky will rain down real water to drown you. If your bones are not scattered after being washed away, in forty years there will be real fire that burns you.

If the bones of the corpse can still be preserved in the real fire, the true body will be born from the fire, grow blood, flesh, tendons, internal organs, and refine into an immortal body, which is called the corpse solution immortal.

The Water and Fire Refining Technique is to practice real water and real fire in advance, and to temper the body, so that when you survive the great catastrophe seven hundred years later, you can deal with it calmly without being refined to the point of being destroyed physically and mentally.

"Is this how grandpa used to refine my body and make my body incorruptible?"

Chen Shi put down his pen and began to think.

After his divine fetus was cut off, he must have died and was buried by Chen Tang.

Grandpa rushed home and dug out his body. He found that he had passed the first seven days and could not recall his soul. So he immediately broke into the tomb of the true king, took the water and fire refining formula, and preserved it by refining it with water and fire. His body.

After that, Grandpa looked for other ways to save Chen Shi.

"It wasn't until two years ago that my grandfather rescued my soul and let it enter my body. But after all, I have been dead for eight years, and all my previous memories have disappeared, most likely!"

Chen Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, pulled the book in front of him, took out a stone box and jade seal from inside, put them aside, found a stack of banknotes, and counted them.

There are five more banknotes, five hundred taels of silver.

After his grandfather passed away, he realized how expensive his medicinal materials were. The medicinal materials used to cook medicine every day cost five or six taels of silver.

One hundred and sixty taels of silver will be spent in a month.

The little money I made before was not enough for medicine.

"No wonder grandpa didn't save any money."

Chen Shi put away the banknotes and took out the jade seal and stone box to play with.

These two things, one came from Shanjun Temple, the other was hung on a branch by Xiao Wangsun, and was given to him by Zhu Xiucai.

Strangely enough, when Chen Shi went home that day and placed the jade seal next to the stone box, the stone box actually glowed with a faint blue light.

Chen Yong used the jade seal to approach the stone box, and saw that the stone box emitted blue light again, flickering on and off, as if it was breathing.

He removed the jade seal and the blue light gradually disappeared.

He placed the jade seal next to him and tried to open the stone box when it emitted blue light.

However, the stone box was still tightly sealed and showed no signs of being opened by him.

Chen Shi raised his fist and punched it several times, but the stone box didn't move at all.

On the contrary, his fist was sore from the pain.

He rubbed his fists and muttered: "What on earth is the stone box? If it is used to deceive people, how can it be so hard and glow? Is there really something inside? He shook the stone box hard, but no sound came out from inside. !”

At this time, the sound of a black pot was heard outside, and Chen Shi looked out the window.

But when I saw the sun, I closed my eyes and the moonlight fell down.

It's getting late.

He made a fire to cook medicine for himself, cooked another pot of medicinal materials, burned some meat for the black pot, drank the medicine and soaked it in it.

The black pot adds heat to the pot.

During his grandfather's absence, he gradually got used to the life of one person and one dog.

The next day, Chen Shi came to Gangzi Village and knocked on Granny Sha's door.

"Why is Xiao Shi here?"

Grandma Sha was surprised. The alliance asked him to come in and said: "I haven't seen you in the past two days. Grandma's business is very good. Some time ago, there was a magic change. Many people died, and many people came to summon the souls to see their relatives. Xiao Shilai Are you planning to summon the spirit of your grandfather here?"

Chen Shi hesitated and said, "Is it okay?"

"Can't!"

Grandma Sha shook her head and said: "Old Chentou is in the underworld in his physical body. If he summons his soul, his whole body will be summoned to the underworld. Without Xuanshan's suppression, he is afraid that he will become a demon immediately."

Chen Shi felt sad, then smiled and said, "I'm here to give a book to my mother-in-law."

Having said that, he took out the "Water and Fire Refining Technique".

When Granny Sha saw the book, she couldn't help but tremble with excitement. She quickly grabbed it and flipped through a few pages. Then she quickly closed the book with a gloomy expression on her face.

"Did your grandfather ask you to give this book to me?"

Chen Shi nodded.

"What an old man, he's still plotting against me after I die!"

Grandma Sha was furious, "He knows that if you send the book to me, I will have to accept it, and then I will be bribed by you. If you are in danger, I will definitely not stay out of it. Humph."

She snorted twice and planned to return the book to Chen Shi, but halfway through, she shrank back and hesitated.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Granny, even if there is no book, if I am in danger, will you not save me?"

Granny Sha said without hesitation, "Of course I will save you. You risked your life to go to the Wangchuan River and stole the Yangjiao Tianling Lamp. Even if you let me fight for you, I will not hesitate."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Then why are you hesitating, grandma? Just accept this book."

"Accepting it means that I have fallen into the calculation of old Chen... That's it, just accept it, why should I bother with the dead?"

Granny Sha accepted the Water and Fire Refining Technique calmly and smiled, "You look good recently, not as thin as you were a few days ago. Eat more, you are growing up. If the family does not have enough money, come to grandma. Although grandma has no ability, she can still make you fat and big!"

Chen Shi said, "I am going to take the exam for a scholar, and I am preparing for the exam these days."

Granny Sha was about to speak when Hei Guo suddenly shouted in the yard, and the shouting became louder and louder.

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Hei Guo said something happened, and it was so scared that it stuttered. This must be a big deal."

He hurried out, and Granny Sha followed him and said in surprise, "You can still hear the stuttering of a dog's barking? What kind of skill is this? Teach me."

The two came to the yard, but saw Hei Guo yelling at the sky.

The two looked up and saw two suns in the sky, but in front of the two suns, a small crescent appeared at some point.

The moon appeared in the daytime.

Chen Shi and Granny Sha were stunned.

Since ancient times, the sun and the moon have always had a clear division of labor. The sun appears during the day and the moon appears at night.

When the bright moon rises, it is the time for evil spirits to act.

And now, the moon actually appeared in the daytime.

The moonlight is weak, especially when there is sun, it is almost impossible to feel the moonlight.

But the moonlight really exists, mixed in the sunlight, and invisibly affects the world.

"Grandpa always said that evil spirits are affected by the moon. Now that the moon is out, where are the evil spirits?"

Chen Shi's heart suddenly jumped, "Will the evil spirits appear in the daytime?"

Grandma Sha's face changed drastically, and she said, "Something big has happened, something really big has happened. The moon is out in the daytime. Could it be that the True God from the Sky has also sent some news?"

On the mountain, the big snake Xuanshan coiled around the peak, with a far-reaching gaze, watching the changes in the world of Ganyang Mountain.

The True God from the Sky, Shi Xiniu Xinzhou, has never changed, and his Tao heart has never changed.

The big snake Xuanshan is like the god of Ganyang Mountain.

He yearns for the state of mind of the True God from the Sky.

Since he has achieved success in the Tao, he has been like the True God from the Sky, watching the world near Ganyang Mountain, experiencing the changes in the world, and experiencing the joys, anger, sorrows and joys of the world.

His Tao heart is gradually improving in this tempering.

Today, he was a little absent-minded.

He originally learned from the True God from the Sky, and cultivated an eternal state of mind, watching the changes in the world.

But two months ago, the night fell a quarter of an hour earlier.

He thought it was just a small mistake of the True God. Or maybe the True God's transformation was too long, with only one transformation in millions or even tens of millions of years.

So he didn't take it to heart.

The fluctuation of the Dao heart caused by that transformation made him eat a roasted Fengxi leg presented by Chen Shi.

Unexpectedly, in broad daylight, the moon opened its eyes earlier.

It would have been fine if it happened once, and he could still say that the True God's transformation was extremely long.

But in just over a month, it changed twice.

The corner of the snake Xuanshan's eyes twitched, and his unchanging state of mind was disturbed.

Even the demonic transformation, where so many people died and the area within a hundred miles and even Ganyang Mountain were almost buried in the demonic transformation, could not cause his Dao heart to fluctuate.

Now, the waves stirred up by his Dao heart are like being blown by the wind, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the waves are getting bigger and bigger.

It made him a little anxious and uneasy.

"Did something happen to the True God?"

He thought to himself.

The appearance of a crescent moon during the day may be just a small mistake for the eternal and unchanging God of the Universe.

But for the countless people in Xiniu New Continent, it is a great anomaly.

This anomaly will sweep everyone and affect everyone, and no one can stay out of it.

At the beginning of the anomaly, there was peace and tranquility, and most people's lives were no different from the past.

Only the incense in front of the godmothers in each village became more and more prosperous.

The incense was curling, and people were praying everywhere, praying for peace and good weather.

Chen Shi took advantage of the arrival of the Moon Festival and drove a wooden cart like his grandfather to set up stalls in various villages, mainly selling peach charms and evil-repelling charms.

Now that the anomaly has just arrived, even ordinary people have noticed that something is wrong.

Therefore, Chen Shi's talismans are easy to sell.

As soon as the stall was set up, the talismans he had drawn were sold out.

Chen Shi bought a lot of spirit beast meat for Hei Guo to enjoy.

Then he bled Hei Guo and drew more talismans.

"Fortunately, it's just a crescent moon, and the moon hasn't opened its eyes completely. If it had opened its eyes completely, I'm afraid the evil spirits would appear during the day."

He thought to himself, "These days, he has heard some rumors about evil spirits appearing during the day, which are very weird. Therefore, when he goes out, even in the daytime, he will hang peach charms and evil-repelling charms on the wooden cart."

However, I haven't encountered any evil spirits yet.

"Master Chen Fu, Master Chen Fu!"

Someone rushed to his talisman stall. She was a woman in her forties, with a thick build and wearing coarse clothes that were convenient for farm work.

There was an apron tied in front of him, with some flour on it. He must have been kneading dough before. He said anxiously: "Master Chen Fu, my boss was working in the fields and suddenly got possessed by evil spirits. Master Chen Fu, help me!"

The crowd immediately gathered around him, looking very panicked. They all asked what was going on.

Chen Shi had never dealt with evil spirits on his own. The evil spirits in Huangyang Village were caused by the Zhao family's talisman master secretly killing a boy to refine lamp oil. It was not an evil spirit.

When killing the worms, he also joined forces with Li Tianqing, and he couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

But then he calmed down.

He is a talisman master, even if he does not have a divine fetus, he can still draw talismans, draw spells, and fight against evil spirits.

If that doesn't work, you can also add black powder to blow up evil spirits.

"Five taels of silver!"

Chen Shi said.

The woman had a troubled look on her face. Chen Shi's price was not expensive. Other talisman masters who warded off evil spirits often opened their mouths and asked for higher prices.

But five taels of silver was a huge amount for her family.

"For five taels of silver, our village has been saved!"

A clan elder suddenly said.

Evil spirits in the village are not a personal matter, but often affect the entire village.

They went door to door to collect money, and soon collected five taels of silver and delivered it to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi quickly followed the woman to the outside of the village. He saw a group of people gathered in the field, shouting and wanting to get closer, but they were frightened away by something and there was a lot of shouting.

"Everyone spread out, the Talisman Master is coming!" someone shouted.

The crowd dispersed, and Chen Shi quickly came forward, only to see a man standing in the field. He was sleeping with his eyes closed, but his arms were raised. His fingers were chewed by something unknown until only bones were left, five white bones. It was spread open, as if something was grabbing his hand, eating the fingers and palm, and was eating his forearm.

Most of the flesh and blood on the forearm has been chewed away, exposing the dense white bones.

Chen Shi felt pain just looking at him, but the man still stood and slept soundly.

Suddenly, the man woke up from the pain, his face was distorted, his eyes were horrified, he held his right arm and screamed in pain.

"Save me, hurry up and save me!"

Then a smile appeared on his face, as if he was sleepy again. He fell asleep standing up with his head tilted. There were still snoring sounds coming from his mouth, and he was sleeping soundly, as if he was having a sweet dream.

And his right arm was still raised, as if something was eating his arm with relish, biting it bit by bit, chewing off a piece of meat, chewing it hard, and smashing it in his mouth, it seemed delicious. look.

The man woke up from the pain again and screamed: "Help."

But the next moment, a smile appeared on his face again, and he slept soundly with his eyes squinted.

The villagers were horrified and hurriedly retreated, not daring to come near.

They couldn't see what was eating the man, and they didn't understand why he could still fall asleep while he was being eaten. They couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.

But Chen Shi could clearly see that there was a thin and tall man in gray standing next to the man. He had furry ears. He was holding the man's arm with one hand. His fingers were long and slender, with gray hair and no hair. The place is very pink.

He had his back to Chen Shi and was chewing on the man's arm with relish.

Whenever the man woke up from pain, a pink flesh-colored tail stretched out from behind the man in gray, raised high, and the tip of the tail rubbed back and forth on the man's head, as if giving him a head. massage.

The man will smile happily, forget about eating his own hand, and fall asleep standing up.

The men in gray clothes continued to eat from his hands. One ate sweetly and the other slept soundly.

Chen Shi could see clearly.

But the people around him could not see the man in gray.

At this time, the man in gray stopped eating and slowly turned his head, revealing a mouse-like face and staring at Chen Shi with his bright little eyes.

This is a mouse that wears human clothes, stands like a human, and is taller than a human.

"Can you see me?"

The gray-clothed mouse said in surprise.
