On the Avenue

Chapter 222 Letter from Li Tianqing

All this time, Mr. Wuhua Mansion has been thinking about how to get there from the underworld and find the pen, but this trip is really dangerous, ghosts and gods are everywhere, and the ghosts he sends often die on the way.

These ghosts are not very powerful, and even if they reach the pen, they cannot get close.

He is the only true master in Wuwang City, but he cannot leave Wuwang City too far.

He once invited masters from the underworld to search for the pen head, but it was often a disaster. Even if someone could come back alive, they would still be far away from the pen head and had to return.

Moreover, the masters who come back often die within a few years because they are so severely eroded by the Yin Qi of the underworld. .

This time he asked Chen Shi to take action because he felt that Chen Shi had the physical body of a zombie and should not be afraid of Yin Qi erosion. As long as he was smart and sent a large number of ghosts from Wuwang City as cover, he should be able to find the pen head. .

Unexpectedly, Chen Shi suggested leaving the earthly world!

In this way, there will be less danger on the road and the chance of survival will be greatly increased.

"There are just two more problems."

Lord Wuwang said, "First, how does the geography of the Yang world correspond to the geography of the underworld? I have traveled too few places to determine the geographical map."

Chen Shi smiled and said: "This is a problem for you, but it is not a big problem for Granny Sha."

After Granny Sha got the ram's horn heavenly lantern, she used it to search the underworld and divided the underworld into nine areas. She thought she could determine the location of the judge's dragon's beard pen in the underworld through the position of the pen in the underworld.

"Another puzzle, how do you get into the underworld?"

The Lord of Wuwang Mansion said, "If you go from Wuwang City, you can go directly to the underworld, and you can go there in the physical body. With the physical body, your strength is greatly increased, and the chance of saving your life is greater. In other places, the physical body cannot go to the underworld."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Grandma Sha can also solve this matter. Mr. Fu, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore, just wait for my news."

Lord Wuwu Mansion looked at him deeply and said with a smile: "Since the True King is so confident, then I will wait here for the True King to return victoriously."

He put the long spear in Chen Shi's hand and said: "The true king carries this spear. This spear and the pen are integrated together. It is extremely powerful and can keep you safe. If you encounter a dragon-bearded pen, it should be able to Use this thing to drop it.”

Chen Shi stood up and grabbed the pen and spear.

The penholder is made of bamboo, which has been soaked in the Qi and blood of the underworld judge for so many years, and has been sacrificed and refined by Wuwang Mansion for so many years, and it has become like jade.

The gun is four feet long, and feels heavy when held with one hand.

He held the butt of the gun and raised it with one hand.

The head, body and tail of the gun are all in a straight line.

He holds the gun with both hands, without showing the tail of the gun, and shakes the gun from his waist. The body of the gun shakes its body like a swimming dragon, causing the tip of the gun to rotate, which is full of toughness.

"Nice gun."

Chen Shi praised it and looked at it carefully, but he saw that the gun was imprinted with some natural ghost writings from the underworld. As he stared, he felt that these ghostly writings were distorting and deforming. If you look away, you will stop moving.

In addition to the ghost inscriptions from the underworld, there are also some talisman imprints from the underworld, which should be written by Lord Wuwangfu.

Chen Shi looked carefully and found that these Yangjing talismans were not the top talismans, they could only be regarded as ordinary, and the attainments of the talismans were not high.

Wuwang Mansion Lord had a relatively low background and status, and had never been exposed to top-level talismans. Later, he became a Mansion Lord by chance. He lived in a simple way and was unable to search for more techniques and talismans outside. The talismans he could obtain were often brought by monks who came to Wuwang City in the underworld.

Although the talismans contained in this spear are not high in skill, they are terrifyingly powerful!

Mr. Wuwang Mansion's cultivation is so profound that even a simple talisman can give people the feeling of turning decay into something magical.

The technique he practiced was not a top-notch inheritance, but it took him more than a thousand years to practice a simple technique to an unfathomable level, which made people marvel at the wonderfulness of his encounter.

"I gave this gun a name, Wuwang."

The King of Wuwu Mansion said, "It can judge good and evil, determine life and death."

Chen Shi always used any weapon, but the Wuwu Spear was still too long and did not fit in his hand. He said, "This spear is too big. Does Mr. Fu have any weapons like daggers and daggers?"

Lord Wuwang Mansion smiled and said: "This spear is not big. The true king can put the Wuwang Spear on this altar, put a stick of incense on it, and offer it as a sacrifice, then you will know the reason."

Chen Shi followed his instructions, placed the Wuwu Spear on the altar, lit a stick of incense, and inserted it into the small cauldron in front of him.

The scent of incense drifted into the gun, as if there was a spirit in the gun, absorbing the incense.

Chen Shi gradually realized that his soul seemed to be connected to this gun.

This feeling becomes clearer and stronger as the incense burns.

The Lord of Wuwang Mansion said: "Now the True King is holding this spear and thinking in his heart."

Chen Shi held the Wuwu Spear and thought in his mind: "Smaller."

The Wuwu Gun is indeed smaller.

Chen Shi thought of the bamboo pole used for the flying sword, and the Wuwu Spear turned into a foot or two in length and flew around him.

Chen Shi raised his hand and grabbed Wuwang, and the spear turned into a length of one foot, four or five feet.

Chen Shi ran with a gun, pointed the tip of the gun diagonally at the ground, rushed out of the pavilion, jumped up, and shouted in mid-air: "Big!"

The Wuwu Spear roared loudly, opened his hand, and the tip of the spear was inserted into the ground, turning into a foot thick and more than thirty feet long!

However, Chen Shi wanted to become bigger, but the Wuwu Spear remained motionless. Obviously, more than thirty feet was the limit of this magic weapon.

Chen Shi stood on the top of the Wuwang Spear and looked down. Wuwang City was right at his feet, which was refreshing.

His mind moved slightly, and the Wuwang Spear became smaller and smaller, gradually returning to a length of one foot.

Chen Shi landed and grabbed the spear in his hand.

Wuwang Mansion Lord came forward and said with a smile: "The so-called sacrifice requires incense. Without incense, it cannot be called a sacrifice. Using one's own blood and talismans to continuously refine weapons is called tempering, which is different from sacrifice. After a long time of incense sacrifice, the treasure will become spiritual and can change according to one's own wishes. Only then can it be called a magic weapon. The True King will take this spear with him. Burn three incense sticks in the morning and three incense sticks in the evening every day. Don't treat it unfairly."

Chen Shi smiled and said: "This trip is related to our lives. How can we treat it unfairly?"

He stood up and said goodbye.

Wuwang Mansion Lord saw him off attentively. Chen Shi walked out of the mansion and saw Nannan sleeping on the back of the black pot. Chen Shi picked her up and put her in the wooden cart.

When he returned to Huangpo Village, it was still dark.

Nannan played all night and was really tired. She didn't wake up all the way.

Chen Shi sent her back to her room to rest. Hu Feifei was still sleeping, lying in bed in a daze. When she saw him carrying Nannan in, she woke up. She didn't get up, but lifted the quilt.

Chen Shi put Nannan in the bed, Hu Feifei covered her with the quilt, sat up from the bed, and whispered: "I waited for you to come back last night, and I was too sleepy so I went to sleep first. Have you eaten? If not, I will get up and cook for you."

Chen Shi said: "It's still a while before dawn, you go to sleep first, and we'll talk about it when it's dawn."

Hu Feifei shrank back into the bed, only showing her head, and said with a chuckle: "It's still dark today, don't you want to do something with others?"

Chen Shi thought for a while and said: "I'm going to practice."

He walked out of the house, Hu Feifei got up, and looked through the gap in the window lattice. Chen Shi was indeed practicing the Eight Extremes Golden Palace in the yard. She thought to herself: "I am a fox spirit and he is a scholar, can't we develop something? That's what the book says, it seems that the book is lying to me..."

She yawned and lay down again.

At dawn, Hu Feifei heard Chen Shi's surprised and happy voice in the yard: "Tianqing wrote me a letter!"

Hu Feifei got up and opened the door with sleepy eyes. Chen Shi was holding a letter in his hand. He was very excited and smiled: "Feifei, Tianqing wrote to me!"

Hu Feifei rubbed her eyes and said: "Which vixen is Tianqing?"

"Li Tianqing, my friend, you have seen him!"

Chen Shi shook the letter and smiled, "He said in the letter that he verified our guess!"

Hu Feifei read the letter. In the letter, Li Tianqing greeted Chen Shi and told him that he found an ancient temple, completely blocked the doors, windows and walls around the ancient temple, prepared various life-saving medicinal materials and drugs, as well as drinking water and food, and then destroyed the golden elixir.

He almost died because of this. After a month of recuperation, he recovered.

"This person destroyed the golden elixir?"

Hu Feifei was shocked. Is it so cruel?

Chen Shi walked around excitedly and said, "Keep reading!"

Hu Feifei continued to read. Li Tianqing said in the letter that he started practicing again in the temple. At first, nothing unusual happened. On the tenth day, a ray of sunlight suddenly shone down in the temple.

Now, after a month of meditation, he has refined the golden elixir and found that his life span has reached 200 years. He expected that his life span will continue to increase as his cultivation level improves.

Chen Shi was very excited and smiled, "Now, I can be sure that there is no problem with the practice, nor with the divine fetus, but with the sunlight and moonlight!"

He looked up at the sky. There were two suns in the sky shining on the earth. They were the eyes of the true gods from outer space. The sunlight was shining on the common people and contained infinite heat.

"The sun and the moon can only improve the realm of the cultivators, but not their lifespan!"

Chen Shi clapped his fists and said with a smile, "Tianqing's actions have made great contributions to the country and benefited the future! You are worthy of being my best friend!"

Hu Feifei saw his bright eyes and thought, "Is this the ambition of a man?"

She didn't quite understand this ambition.

But she also felt that a man with a persistent ambition would have a very charming charm.

Chen Shi ran to grind ink excitedly, picked up a pen and wrote a reply to Li Tianqing. He was not satisfied after writing it once, so he crumpled the letter and threw it aside, and wrote it again, but he was still not satisfied.

He wrote it more than ten times before he was satisfied and asked Hu Feifei to read it first.

Hu Feifei read the letter. Chen Shi was full of enthusiasm in praising Li Tianqing's feat. Hu Feifei felt the surging emotions between the lines and smiled, "It's well written."

Chen Shi ran out excitedly and said, "I'm going to the provincial capital to mail a letter!"

Hu Feifei hurriedly said, "Come back! Have breakfast before leaving!"

Chen Shi had to stop, but he was a little anxious when eating. He finished his meal in a hurry and rushed out immediately.

Hu Feifei shook her head.

In the afternoon, Chen Shi sent the letter back. He was still a little excited. He couldn't help telling Hu Feifei how brave Li Tianqing was to abandon the golden elixir and start over. What a great achievement.

The next day, just at night, the godmother Sang Yu in the village notified Chen Shi and said, "There is a little ghost outside looking for you."

Chen Shi said, "Let him in."

Godmother Sang Yu then let the little ghost in. When he arrived at Chen's house, Chen Shi thought it was a child from another village, but when he got up to him, he found that it was indeed a little ghost.

It was the tea boy beside Lord Wuwang, with green skin, ghost face and fangs.

There was a lantern ghost beside him, who should be responsible for lighting.

The little ghost said: "My master asked me to ask you when you will leave?"

Chen Shi was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Go back and tell Lord Fu that I am trustworthy and will leave in a few days."

The little ghost left with the lantern ghost.

Chen Shi continued to practice, and every morning and evening, he burned incense to the Wuwang spear.

After two or three days, the little ghost came to Huangpo Village with the lantern ghost. Godmother Sang Yu let him in. The little ghost asked to see Chen Shi and said, "The master asked me to come and ask you when to leave?"

Chen Shi said, "Wait two more days. Tell the master that I didn't steal his gun, but I'm not sure yet."

The little ghost went back.

Chen Shi burned incense for two more days, and practiced the Wuwang gun as he wished, sending and receiving with one heart.

That evening, he was practicing the Eight Extremes Golden Que Divine Chapter, and suddenly there was a big fire in his dantian, and the golden elixir was neither up nor down in the fire, neither turning nor shaking, just like the blood and qi entering a state of concentration.

Chen Shi's ears were silent, his eyes were colorless, his heart was without thoughts, his five senses were lost, and he fell into a dead silence.

The sea of ​​fire was like a field, the golden elixir was like a seed, and in the silence, there was only a ray of life hidden in the elixir.

This moment was crucial.

After two days, the little ghost came with the lantern ghost and wanted to enter the Chen family, but he only saw a big fire in the void and could not get close.

This fire is invisible to ordinary people, but it can be seen by ghosts and gods, blocking his way.

The little ghost stood at the edge of the sea of ​​fire and looked forward, but he saw that the sea of ​​fire was endless, and it was so vast that he could not cross it at all.

He waited for a long time, but saw that the sea of ​​fire kept shrinking, gradually shrinking to a few feet in radius. He seemed to see the outline of an adult, sitting cross-legged in the void, and the sea of ​​fire several feet in size was in the belly of the adult.

Suddenly, a yellow bud grew in the fire, shining with golden light. Suddenly, the yellow bud grew two petals, like a person with arms, slowly stretched, and raised upwards, like a person raising his head.

The yellow bud took root, like a person's feet, and gradually became more and more like a person, absorbing the sea of ​​fire, like absorbing a long rainbow.

Suddenly, the yellow bud jumped out of the sea of ​​fire and turned into a bean sprout-sized Yuanying, flying up and up, as if jumping into the nine-day blue sky!

The little ghost looked up, and saw that the Nascent Soul had both form and spirit, and it vaguely looked like Chen Shi's face.

This scene just echoed a saying by a sage named Bai Yuchan in China.

"The ninth turn of the golden elixir is called the Nine Returns. It is like the death of a dung beetle, the cracking of a dung ball, and the flying of a cicada, both in form and spirit. (Excerpt from Bai Yuchan's Haiqiong Chuandao Ji)"

Suddenly, the various strange visions in front of the little ghost disappeared, and the outline of the adult became clearer and clearer, his internal organs gradually appeared, and then his bones and meridians were gradually cleansed, and finally his skin and clothes appeared.

When the strange vision completely disappeared, only Chen Shi was left sitting in the courtyard.

The little ghost calmed down, walked forward with the lantern ghost, and bowed and said: "My master asked me to come and ask you when to set off?"

Chen Shi stood up and smiled: "Now that I have cultivated into a Nascent Soul, my success rate is higher. Go back and tell the Lord of the Mansion that you can set off after dawn!"
