On the Avenue

Chapter 123 Your Name (vote request at the beginning of the month)

Chen Shi was worried about the mental state of the captured evil spirit, so he neither communicated with him nor went crazy to cause trouble. He just sat on the shrine to help him practice.

Even the evil spirits that were captured in the past, even the three ghost kings, struggled and resisted for a long time before resigning themselves to fate and sitting obediently on the shrine. Even if they were trained very well, they would not take the initiative to help him regulate his qi.

But the big fat baby would eat incense if given incense, and would not cry or make a fuss if not given, and would help him refine qi in his spare time.

If he wanted to sacrifice it, he would not resist at all.

It would also help Chen Shi restrain the sword energy. With its help, Chen Shi only felt that the power of the sword energy increased greatly, and it was easier to control.

"From now on, you will be called Xiaozao." Chen Shi named the fat baby.

The mother of the jujube tree did not resist, and seemed to have resigned herself to fate.

Chen Shi mobilized his true qi, treated Xiaozao as a divine fetus, and tried to activate Xiaozao.

His divine fetus is not a divine fetus in the normal sense. Normal divine fetuses often only have the function of regulating qi and regulating yin and yang, while Chen Shi's divine fetus is often evil. After being sacrificed, it retains the ability of evil.

Xiaozao used to be a godmother, and now it is still in the state of evil. After he sacrificed it, a towering jujube tree suddenly appeared behind Chen Shi, with branches like dragons coiled, hanging jujubes with human heads, and making a giggling sound.

This scene also scared Chen Shi.

Ding Ding was also scared and hurriedly hid behind the black pot. When she saw that there was no danger, she walked out carefully.

She was almost killed by the jujube tree godmother, and she knew how terrible Xiaozao was.

Xiaozao's evil spirit was so strong that it could even pollute her golden elixir, causing her vitality to be greatly damaged.

Chen Shi's Qi was circulating, and he felt that the ritual of refining the jujube was going smoothly, so he stretched out his hand and pointed, and saw the ground cracking. There were extremely thick roots in the ground, like dark poisonous dragons, crawling and twisting, cracking the ground, and crisscrossing cracks appeared.

The bodies in the village rolled into the cracks, and the human head jujube tree retracted its roots, and the cracks slowly closed again.

Chen Shi went from house to house to bury the bodies in the village. Those who did not fall into the cracks needed him to push the bodies in personally.

If these bodies could not be buried in time, the moonlight would make them mutate.

By then, there would be hundreds of evil corpses and corpses, which would be a headache.

Ding Ding also came to help. There were too many people who died in Sanhe Village. If Chen Shi relied on himself, he would probably have to work all day and night to bury these people. Even with her help, he would still be busy until late at night.

The two were exhausted, especially Ding Ding. Although she was Madam Huali's personal maid and served her in daily life, she had never done heavy work, especially such a terrible thing as burying so many corpses.

It was so exciting to go out with Chen Shi for the first time.

Chen Shi originally planned to stay in Sanhe Village for one night, but Ding Ding refused to do so. Chen Shi had to hang peach charms on the four corners of the wooden cart, light lanterns, let the black pot hold it, and travel overnight.

They came to Yanfeng Village. Chen Shi stood outside the village and first burned incense and prayed to the godmother in the village. After the godmother in the village accepted the incense, he entered the village.

The villagers of Yanfeng Village were very surprised. It was really a miracle that someone could travel at night and walk to the village alive.

The villagers did not intend to take them in, but when they heard Chen Shi claim to be a talisman master and took out some talismans, they felt relieved.

However, the villagers still misunderstood and thought they were a young couple, so they arranged a room for them. Ding Ding blushed and kept looking at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi understood and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll arrange it."

He asked another family for a guest room.

That night, both of them were a little tired. Chen Shi boiled medicine and practiced martial arts, so he slept a little later.

The next morning, he got up a little late.

Chen Shi dressed neatly and went to fetch water to wash. Before he reached the well, he heard several women who were washing clothes by the well discussing with Ding Ding whether the little rooster would crow.

"If the little rooster doesn't crow, it means he doesn't like it anymore, or he likes other hens." A woman said.

Another woman raised her hand and wiped her forehead with the back of her hand, saying, "It's possible that she likes the little rooster."

The women in the village were experienced people, and one asked, "Could it be that the rooster is still young and will crow if we wait a little longer?"

Ding Ding's face flushed, and when she saw Chen Shi coming, she quickly said, "Little rooster... Mr. Chen is here, shut up!"

The women looked at Chen Shi and laughed. Chen Shi didn't understand what was going on, so he drew water to wash his face. He saw a child in the well, and immediately swung the bucket and let the child sit in the bucket.

The child in the well looked up at him in surprise and asked in confusion: "Brother, can you see me?"

Chen Shi nodded, pulled him out of the well, and whispered: "What are you doing in the well?"

"I was playing hide-and-seek with my friends. There was no place to hide, so I wanted to hide in the well. I grabbed the edge of the well, but my hand slipped and I fell in."

The child was wet all over and said, "My parents came here to find me. I kept calling them, but they couldn't hear me. Others couldn't see me either. I couldn't get up, so I stayed in the well."

Chen Shi understood and asked: "Do you remember your home? I'll take you there."

"Remember!"

The child walked forward excitedly, and Chen Shi followed him, worried that there would be talismans like door gods blocking him out.

Ding Ding and the women by the well were surprised. They watched Chen Shi talking to himself in the air and raised his hands again, as if pulling a ball of air. Everyone felt a little uneasy.

Chen Shi came to an old house with a dilapidated wooden door and no talismans such as door gods.

The child rushed into the house in a hurry and shouted: "Dad! Mom! I'm back!"

The yard of the old house was deserted, overgrown with weeds, and everything was very dilapidated, but the door creaked open, and two white-haired old people, a man and a woman, walked out, looking at the child running towards them with trembling eyes.

"Xiaojun is back!"

The old woman hurriedly knelt down and hugged the rushing child. Tears fell down her face and she choked, "Xiaojun is finally back! Mom has been waiting for you for thirty years!"

The old man was also in tears. He hugged the two of them and kept saying, "I knew you would come back! I knew you wouldn't forget your way home. I left the door open for you..."

"Dad, Mom, why do you look so much older?"

The child looked at the second elder's face with some confusion, "Mom, why is your hair gray? Dad, why are there so many wrinkles on your face?"

The old woman touched his face lovingly: "Silly boy, you have been gone for more than thirty years. Of course your parents are old."

The old man pulled up the mother and son, bowed and kowtowed to Chen Shi, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, my benefactor, thank you for saving me!"

Chen Shi said: "Since you have reunited, you should leave early. Sooner or later, the godmother in the village will be unable to protect you. If you absorb the moonlight, you will become evil spirits. I will use a rebirth talisman to send you there."

The old man's family of three were all confused and didn't understand what he meant, but they nodded anyway.

Chen Shi activated the Sanguang Zhengqi Jue to regulate his qi and blood. In the small temple, Xiao Zao sat on the shrine to help him regulate his qi and blood.

There was blood flowing on Chen Shi's fingertips, and he used the blood as ink to write the talisman of death in the air.

"disease--"

Chen Shi pointed his sword at a point, and the rebirth talisman shone brighter and brighter, opening up the two realms of yin and yang and opening up a path to another world.

The couple took their children and walked on this avenue formed by light.

They just felt that there was a wonderful power in another world that attracted them and called them, so they walked along this road.

After walking far, they turned back and waved to Chen Shi at the end of the road.

As the light gradually faded, the family of three disappeared without a trace.

Chen Shi looked at the burned out amulet, stayed in the dilapidated courtyard for a moment, then turned around and walked out of the deserted house.

By the well, the women looked at him in surprise as he walked out, whispering among themselves.

"Isn't that Lao Tiantou's family? Lao Tiantou and his wife have been dead for four or five years."

"His house has been deserted for a long time. Some time ago, someone was drunk and broke into his house. They saw the old couple sitting at the door, saying they were waiting for their son. His son has been missing for 34-5 years."

"It's so pitiful that the old couple have been looking for them all their lives."

…

While eating, Ding Ding couldn't help but look at Chen Shi secretly. Breakfast was also made by the villagers of the host family, including pickles, sweet potato rice, and sorghum vegetable wowotou.

——Here in Feixian County, corn is called teosinte.

Ding Ding felt that Chen Xiucai had something on his mind, and was about to muster the courage to ask when Chen Shi suddenly showed an annoyed look and slapped his thigh suddenly.

"Oops, Sanhe Village forgot to collect money!"

Chen Shi was a little sad and angry, "I said I forgot something, and it turned out to be this! The scholar in blue still owes me twenty taels of silver!"

He slapped his thigh hard, feeling regretful.

Ding Ding thought it was some great event, but he didn't expect it to be this. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "He did many evil things and almost died in your hands. Are you still thinking about the twenty taels of silver?"

Chen Shi looked at her seriously and said with a serious face: "He asked me to get rid of the evil spirits, and I got rid of them. If he did evil, I killed him. These are two different things. Since I have solved the evil spirits in Sanhe Village, he has to give me money." !”

He bit down on the extremely strong head of the nest and said with a loud sound: "When he recovers from his injuries, he comes to me for revenge. Before killing him, I must let him make up for the twenty taels of silver!"

Ding Ding secretly laughed at his money obsession and asked doubtfully: "Can't you collect money first in the future?"

Chen Shi shook his head: "Grandpa said that you can't set a precedent for collecting money first. This is a rule. If you collect money first, it will inevitably mean blackmailing others through evil spirits. The owner of the suffering will also worry about gains and losses, and worry that you, the talisman master, will not be able to do things well. Solve the evil spirits When you receive the money later, you will be happy in your heart, and you will be grateful when you give the money. You can also enjoy a meal, and everyone will give you a toast with respect. "

Ding Ding didn't know that the magicians in the countryside had these strange rules.

She traveled extensively with Mrs. Hua Li and gained extensive knowledge. She had met many Talisman masters traveling between cities and rural areas, but she had not gotten to know them in depth.

After they finished breakfast, Chen Shi did some morning lessons, then packed up and said goodbye to the two villagers where he was staying. Chen Shi gave half a tael of silver to each of the two families. The men and women of the two families hurriedly caught up with them, saying repeatedly: "It's too much! It's too much! Why should I pay for one night's stay!"

They stuffed the money over and asked Chen Shi to take it back.

Chen Shi hurriedly excused himself and signaled the black pot to drive the wooden cart.

Heiguo grabbed the compass, and the wooden cart gradually accelerated, running very fast, and fled out of Yanfeng Village in a flash.

The two couples chased them to the entrance of the village, but when they saw that they couldn't catch up, they had to give up.

Suddenly, one of the men seemed to remember something and exclaimed: "Did that black dog just run on two legs or four legs?"

After he said this, everyone woke up and said one after another: "That dog seems to be standing up on two legs, and he is holding a round thing in his hand!"

"That dog seemed to be talking to me last night!"

"What a evil spirit——"

The crowd dispersed in a hurry, and everyone went back to their homes, locking the doors and trembling with fear.

Chen Shi and Ding Ding continued to sell talismans in the nearby town. Chen Shi was responsible for drawing talismans, while Ding Ding sold them.

Black dog blood and cinnabar were still used to draw talismans. Although Chen Shi could draw talismans with his bare hands, it consumed a lot of Qi and blood, and the effect was far inferior to the talismans drawn with black dog blood and cinnabar.

More importantly, the effect of drawing talismans with black dog blood these days was getting better and better. Chen Shi was even a little worried that the effect was too good and would cut off his business. For example, if the peach talisman was too effective, it would not go bad for a year, which meant that there would be no business for a year.

However, there were more important things waiting for Chen Shi.

Ding Ding was managing the talisman stall, and he was concentrating on practicing drawing talismans with bare hands. He drew over and over again, trying to be proficient in drawing various types of talismans with one stroke, and his Qi and blood were continuous.

There were a lot of talismans that his grandfather taught him, and Chen Shi had an excellent memory. He selected the talismans used for fighting and guarding and practiced them attentively.

His purpose was to welcome the revenge of the blue-clothed scholar.

This time, the blue-clothed scholar fell into his hands because he attacked him unexpectedly, but the southern style talismans of the blue-clothed scholar were indeed very powerful and had to be guarded against.

In particular, the speed of the blue-clothed scholar in drawing talismans was too fast. He used his own blood to draw talismans and completed them in an instant, which was much faster than Chen Shi's speed now!

The blue-clothed scholar's injury would heal sooner or later, so Chen Shi had to prepare early to deal with the attack of this talisman master!

"Blue-robed scholar, is your injury almost healed?"

During dinner, Chen Shi said to Ding Ding, "He still owes me twenty taels of silver."

Another day later, Chen Shi was practicing and thought of this matter, and said, "Blue-robed scholar's injury is probably healed. I should ask his name, he still owes me twenty taels of silver."

On the third day, Chen Shi looked at the distance with some melancholy, and said to himself, "Twenty taels of silver..."

On the fourth day, Ding Ding found that Chen Shi did not mention the blue-robed scholar, nor did he mention the twenty taels of silver again, but his expression was much more haggard. While practicing drawing talismans with his bare hands, he kept looking around.

"Master Chen Fu!" Someone greeted him.

He showed a happy look, and then a little disappointed.

The person who came was not the blue-robed scholar.

"It's the master who owes the money, it's true." Ding Ding thought to himself.

On the fifth day, Chen Shi was a little depressed, and suddenly a gust of evil wind blew, chilling him to the bone.

Chen Shi was greatly encouraged, laughed loudly, and said in a loud voice: "Blue-clothed scholar, what is your name?"

In the sky, the silkworm transformed by the blue-clothed scholar stood in the air, and heard the words in his heart: "He wants to kill me!"
