On the Avenue

"Thank you, Granny Sha." Grandpa breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Shi waking up.

The old woman put down the strange musical instrument in her hand and said with a smile: "Old Chen, we are all one of our own, why are you so polite? If it weren't for your skill in water and fire, my spiritualism alone might not be able to bring Xiao Shi back from the underworld. Even if they are recalled, the bodies will probably rot."

Grandpa dispersed the mass of water and fire above his head, looked at Chen Shi, and asked, "Xiao Shi, how do you feel? Does your chest still hurt?"

Chen Shi wanted to speak, but his voice was hoarse and he couldn't make a sound.

"He has been dead for seven days and his body is completely cold. It would be good to bring him back in the first seven days."

Grandma Sha came close to Chen Shi, opened Chen Shi's mouth, looked inside, and said with a smile, "The muscles in his throat are relaxed, so he can't speak yet. When he gradually warms up and becomes familiar with his body, he can speak." "

"It's a body, not a corpse." Grandpa corrected her.

"It's not bad, it's not bad."

Granny Sha's eyes narrowed with laughter, and she said, "Old Chen's skills are not bad, his skills in water and fire are enviable, and you used the thing of cultivating corpse-dissolving immortal on Xiao Shi, hehe... this time I saved your grandson, are you going to pass this water and fire thing on to me?"

Grandpa was alert, shook his head and said: "Please take action, I have paid for it. But my days are numbered. If Granny Sha agrees to become Xiao Shi's godmother, I will teach her the Water and Fire Alchemy."

"Becoming Xiao Shi's godmother?"

Granny Sha's face suddenly changed. She glanced at Chen Shi who was lying on the bed and hesitated, "Will you be his godmother? I'm afraid my life is not that tough... Do you want to take a gamble? Hehehehe... I don't dare. ah!"

She cried and said: "Old Chen, did you want to give away this hot potato before you died? You are also afraid, right? I dare not accept this wealth! I am afraid that I will not be able to accept it and become a sinner... …”

At this point, she lost control of her emotions and cried.

Chen Shi, who was lying on the bed, was a little confused: "Why is the old woman crying? Why did she say that she would become a sinner?"

After some time, Chen Shi was able to speak and asked for water.

Grandma Sha gave him water and started to chase people away. As she watched her grandfather carry Chen Shi, who was still unable to move, to the wooden cart, she didn't know which string was touched and started crying again.

"Old Chentou, you can't take the water and fire to your grave when you die!"

She cried and said, "You pass it on to me, and I will dress you in sackcloth and wear mourning as your daughter!"

Grandpa didn't even raise his head: "You will be the little ten godmother."

"Don't do it!"

Granny Sha refused simply, "You should take the water and fire to your grave, and I will dig your grave when the time comes!"

The armor and horse talismans gradually circulated, and the wooden cart slowly started.

Heiguo ran in front of the car with brisk steps. Chen Shi was lying on the car bumping and swaying from side to side as the wooden car left the village where Granny Sha was.

Chen Shi reluctantly looked outside. The village was very unfamiliar. He had never been there during the Moon Festival.

"Grandpa is very familiar with Granny Sha. Granny Sha even calls me Xiao Shi and knows my nickname."

Chen Shi blinked. He should have been here before, but he just didn't remember.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

Grandpa called the dog in the car. The dog turned around and looked at the wooden car that went the other way in confusion, and then ran over happily.

"We are not going to Huangpo Village, we are going to another place."

Grandpa said to Gouzi, "Xiao Shi's body is too cold and it is difficult for his blood to circulate. He has to go to Zhiyin's corpse raising ground for two days."

Black Pot nodded seriously and ran to the front of the wooden cart to lead the way.

Chen Shi's voice was weak, but he tried his best to speak loudly: "Kaiguo, thank you."

The dog was startled slightly and wagged his tail.

"This is Gangzi Village, in the north of the mountain. Grandma Sha is a good person. After you were born, she came to hug you, touched your bones, and praised your bones for being amazing. Later, you passed the county examination for fifty provinces. First, she came to congratulate you on your death..."

Grandpa seemed to be talking to himself or talking to Chen Shi, "After you were injured, she was also very angry. She ran around for you and tried every means to summon your soul. If I die in the future, I will leave it to you. Give her a copy of "Water and Fire Refining Technique" to repay her kindness. "

He paused and said: "She is a person who values ​​affection and righteousness. If you give her the Water and Fire Refining Technique, she will remember your kindness and find ways to return the favor to you. Although she does not dare to be your godmother, But I will do my best to protect you.”

Chen Shi lay in the car and listened to the sound of the wheels, and whispered: "Grandpa will not die."

"Hey."

Grandpa laughed out loud and touched his head, "Silly boy, how can there be immortal people? I don't dare to stay. When the moon rises, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but be hungry..."

He fell silent.

Chen Shi quickly changed the topic and said: "Grandpa, is Black Pot a normal dog? Why can it enter the underworld to save me?"

"Do you doubt it too?"

Grandpa's eyes fell on the black pot, his expression gloomy, "I have suspected it for a long time, but I just can't get a handle on it."

Gouzi noticed the gazes of his grandfather and grandson from the front and could not help but shiver.

It is really difficult to make ends meet in the Chen family.

Why is my dog ​​life so full of ups and downs?

I obviously just want to be an ordinary dog.

The black pot led the way, and the wooden cart followed the dog into the mountains, going farther and farther along the rugged mountain road.

Some mountain roads are dilapidated and steep, making it difficult for even people to climb up. However, the wooden carts drove up smoothly, as if walking on flat ground.

After a long time, they came to a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It was surrounded by not too high peaks, with a valley in the middle and a deep pool in the middle. The water was very pure and extremely clear. Looking into the pool from a high place, it looked like... An eye that is clear on the outside but dark on the inside.

Next to the pool is an extremely ancient villa. The tall pines and trees block out all the sunlight. The villa is so dark that it takes a while to get used to it before you can see the surroundings clearly.

Black Pot sneezed several times. It was so cold here that it made him shiver.

It stopped outside the door and did not enter the village.

On the door of the villa, the word "Jinghu" is written.

Jinghu Villa.

Chen Shi found it strange that there were no mosquitoes in the villa. He could not move while lying down. It was logical that mosquitoes would have bitten him, but there was not a single mosquito.

Not only were there no mosquitoes, nor could you hear the chirping of birds, everything was quiet, so quiet that it made people shudder.

A big tree caught Chen Shi's eyes. The tree was very thick, and its bark was like pieces of dragon scales. It grew upside down. The tree was so straight that only three or five people could hold it.

There was a coffin parked under the tree, dark and upright, leaning against the tree.

Chen Shi rolled his eyes, trying to take a closer look, but the second dragon-scale tree and the vertical coffin had already come into view.

Then there is the third big tree and the third black coffin.

The wooden cart was parked under a large dragon-scale tree in the center of the villa. There was also a black coffin erected under the tree. The coffin was not big and was probably not for adults.

Grandpa opened the coffin, put Chen Shi in, and closed the coffin lid.

Strangely enough, it was extremely cold here, but Chen Shi felt his body gradually warming up as he lay in the coffin.

His heart gradually beat more and more powerfully.

What made him even more surprised was that when he lay in the coffin, he felt calm and extremely peaceful, as if he was very familiar with this place.

He even fell asleep peacefully and didn't wake up until his grandfather opened the coffin.

Grandpa touched his hand. His palm was already warm and his heart was beating strongly.

Chen Shi walked out of the vertical coffin, moved his hands and feet, and felt that his body had returned to its previous state, but he was full of questions.

"Grandpa, have I been here before?"

"Um."

"I used to lie in this little coffin?"

"Um."

"The last time I came here, was it like this?"

"It's more serious than this time. Last time you were... seriously injured."

Chen Shi thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Is it the time when I passed the exam and became the first child scholar in fifty provinces? How long have I been sleeping here?"

"Yes, it's been a long time." Grandpa said in a muffled voice.

He packed up the wooden cart and looked over.

Chen Shi solemnly closed the coffin board, taking great care of his other "home" for fear of being damaged.

The grandfather and grandson got on the wooden cart. Chen Shi looked at the other vertical coffins in the villa. There were eight vertical coffins here, and the other seven black vertical coffins were distributed under the ancient trees. He did not see ghosts and gods, and he did not know where these coffins were. Is anyone sleeping?

However, he was vaguely aware of an extremely strong sense of oppression coming from several vertical coffins. As he looked, the sense of oppression became stronger and stronger!

There was obviously something in the coffin, something remarkable!

"This corpse raising place was found by me and a few friends."

Grandpa controlled the compass, drove the wooden cart outward, and said, "We can't say we are friends. We just know each other and have exchanged a few words. They are very afraid of death, just like me, so we all get together." After building this villa, you don’t have to worry about your body breaking down and rotting. There are already some old guys who can’t wait to move in. But everyone who lives in it must follow a few unwritten rules.”

He paused and said: "You are not allowed to ask about other people's origins, you are not allowed to ask who lives in this place, you are not allowed to reveal this place to outsiders, and you are not allowed to have more than two people coming at a time. If you violate it, we will attack them in groups. Hehe, they It would be scary to get up from the coffin.”

Chen Shi smiled and said, "No wonder the dog didn't follow."

As the wooden carriage drove out of the villa, Kuaiguo quickly came over. There was a carriage parked not far from Gouzi, which was very gorgeous.

It's not as rustic as grandpa's wooden chariot. The chariot is made of wood as the frame, copper as the sill, gold as decoration, beads as decoration, the roof is covered with a canopy, and there are four horses in front of the chariot. Even the horses are covered with Gold and silver armor.

There was also a coachman sitting on the shaft of the carriage, carrying a whip.

Sitting in the car was a personage who looked like a royal nobleman. He was dressed in white and had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was rich and handsome, and had a graceful bearing.

When he saw his grandfather and grandson coming out, the man in white clothes got up and got out of the car.

He wears a long sword at his waist. The scabbard is a large lacquer scabbard with a diamond-shaped texture and is narrow in the middle, like a woman's waist. The hilt and the end of the scabbard are both carved and polished from tortoiseshell. It is very gorgeous and attractive. Attention.

The man in white wears the sword hilt downward, with a tall figure and a calm walk.

After he left the chariot, he saw that the four horses in front of the chariot were quickly petrified and turned into four stone horses!

And the driver of the car turned into a pottery figurine, raising the reins in his hands as if to restrain the horse.

Chen Shi was surprised when he saw that the man in white had already come to his grandfather and grandson and bowed to them.

Grandpa also owes himself a courtesy.

“Long time no see, Master Chen’s style remains the same.”

"I dare not. Xiao Wangsun is very elegant, I am far inferior to him."

The two exchanged a few polite words.

Xiao Wangsun's eyes fell on Chen Shi's face, looked at him deeply, and praised: "Water and fire are refined, it is indeed extraordinary."

Grandpa's pupils shrank slightly.

Chen Shi felt a hairy feeling, as if he was stared at by a wounded leopard again, and wondered in his heart: "Why did Grandpa want to kill again?"

Xiao Wangsun also sensed the murderous intent, and said without saying much, "I apologize." After that, he walked into the village.

Chen Shi looked back and saw Xiao Wangsun coming to a vertical coffin. The coffin was like a small house, 12 feet high and 18 feet long, and the surface was engraved with extremely gorgeous talismans, and the various runes were dazzling.

The coffin lid of the coffin opened automatically and flew out. Then another orange-yellow coffin lid flew out of the coffin, then another silver-shining coffin lid, then a golden coffin lid, and finally a jade plate that was about the same size as a normal coffin lid.

Xiao Wangsun walked into the coffin, and layers of coffin lids flew into the coffin one after another, sealing him in.
