On the Avenue

The three of them were shocked. The dignified Zuo Zhonglang of Fuzheng Pavilion, who was at the peak of the Refining Spirit Realm and only half a step away from the Returning Void Realm, was actually compromised by someone! Qin Su asked Fan Peng to test Chen Tang because Fan Peng was strong enough and his realm was high enough!

Fan Peng was born in a local family and was known as a child prodigy since he was a child. When he reached middle age, he cultivated to the Three Corpses Realm and killed three corpses.

Later, he fought with others and his soul was injured, causing his realm to stagnate. Fortunately, he met the young master. In addition to asking someone to treat him, the young master also ordered Taipingmen to steal the Resurrection Lotus from the underworld and refine the Resurrection Pill for him, finally healing his old soul injury.

After his injury was healed, he broke through to the Refining Spirit Realm in a few years. He is now only sixty years old, but he is very close to the Returning Void Realm. He is a young master who has the hope of cultivating into the Mahayana Realm! ——Compared to other people in the same realm, he is indeed young.

But such an existence still failed to test Chen Tang's background! Chen Tang, what realm is he in?

Chen Tang is younger than Fan Peng, and he has never shown his talent. Many people have overlooked him, thinking that his cultivation strength is just so-so. What is the purpose of his hiding his strength?

"Three generations of the Chen family should not be underestimated!" Fan Peng whispered.

Because he went to bed early, Chen Shi got up early, and after breakfast, he immediately set off for Guangjiku.

As soon as he went out, he saw Yu Lingzi sitting opposite the Chen Mansion. His neck was still a little bruised and his complexion was not very good. It should be that the injury he suffered yesterday has not healed yet. Chen Shi's attack was not heavy. He will probably recover to his peak after one or two months of recuperation. In addition, with the spiritual medicine of Taihua Qing Palace, he may recover faster. But he may miss the examination.

When Yu Lingzi saw him go out, he immediately stood up and said, "Chen Shi...Uncle Master."

He finally followed his heart. After calling Uncle Master, he felt much more comfortable. Being scolded by the elders was no big deal, after all, he was often scolded by his uncles in Taihua Qing Palace.

Chen Shi was a little confused: "Yu Lingzi, why do you call me uncle?"

Yu Lingzi's voice was still a little hoarse, and his injuries had not healed yet. He talked about the relationship between Qingyang and Taihua Qing Palace. "Uncle Qingyang is the ancestor of your Taihua Qing Palace?" Chen Shi was very surprised.

He didn't know the origin of Qingyang, and thought it was a spirit in Ganyang Mountain. Now it seems that Ganyang Mountain has raised the big snake Xuanshan, and there may not be a large enough territory to raise another Qingyang.

Yu Lingzi looked around and saw a sky listener squatting on the eaves not far away, listening to their conversation and recording it quickly. "After you left yesterday, I observed those Heavenly Listeners and found that they came to monitor you."

Yu Lingzi said, "It's not good news that Heavenly Listeners appear around you. Those who are worth using so many Heavenly Listeners are often rebels." Chen Shi also looked at the Heavenly Listeners on the roof and smiled, "I've gotten used to it."

Yu Lingzi shook his head and said, "If the Heavenly Listeners think you are a threat to them, they will take action to eliminate you. The King of Heavenly Listeners is no less powerful than the existence of Huanxu Realm and Mahayana Realm."

"They heard what we said, and they have all been corrected by Hei Guo." Chen Shi smiled. Hei Guo followed behind them and shook his tail to Yu Lingzi in a friendly manner.

Yu Lingzi seemed to see a gentle and amiable brother. When he heard Brother Gou say a few words of encouragement to him, he felt kind and said, "It turned out to be Senior Hei Guo. When I was a child, Senior Hei Guo held me. I didn't expect to meet Senior here again..."

As he spoke, his eyes became puzzled, as if he felt that something was wrong. But he didn't feel anything was wrong.

Chen Shi glared at Hei Guo and shook his head slowly. Hei Guo then calmed down a little.

"Yu Lingzi, what is the origin of the Heaven Listeners?" Chen Shi asked.

He was quite curious about these Heaven Listeners. These Heaven Listeners were very similar to cultivators, but not completely. They were more like Yanshi who had a certain wisdom and followed some strange rules. The Taoism they practiced was also very strange. Their ears could grow at will, and they could also use their ears as wings and fly by flapping their ears.

They could also use their own blood and qi to transform into many arms. This method was an extremely powerful fighting method. Only some families or major sects with deep foundations had it, but everyone in the Heaven Listeners could perform it.

They did not use this method to fight, but to record complex information.

What made Chen Shi feel most incredible was that the Heaven Listeners recorded so many things every day. Who would they send these materials to? Tianting means to reach the heavenly hearing.

Could it be that the True Gods outside the sky really read the information collected by the Heaven Listeners?

Or, are there other people above these Heaven Listeners who are responsible for collecting information?

Yu Lingzi woke up from his confusion and said, "The Heaven Listener collects things that the Heaven doesn't know and reports them to the Heaven. The Heaven Listener will report the collected intelligence layer by layer until it reaches the King. As for what else the King has, I don't know."

He looked up at the sky, and the eyes of the True God outside the sky turned into two suns, shining on the earth, giving light to the world and seeing clearly what happened in the world.

"We in Taihua Qing Palace are very secretive about the Heaven Listener, saying that they are crazy like the scattered people. Where there are Heaven Listeners, many people dare not speak, for fear of breaking taboos."

Yu Lingzi retracted his gaze and said, "Even the thirteen families and the major holy places turn a blind eye to the Heaven Listener and let them monitor. It is said that this is a rule passed down from the era of the True King."

He paused and said: "Uncle Chen Shi, my three uncles scolded me yesterday and told me to come and explain yesterday's matter clearly to Uncle Chen, so as to avoid misunderstandings by the uncles."

Chen Shi looked at him doubtfully: "What's the misunderstanding?"

Yu Lingzi said sternly: "I came yesterday to be a lobbyist for the young master. I did something wrong in this matter. I apologize to my uncle!" He knelt down to Chen Shi on the street and kowtowed several times. , attracting passers-by to take a look.

Chen Shi quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "You work as a lobbyist for the young master, and I have beaten you. Why do you do this?"

Yu Lingzi said: "My master taught me that when you are a person and do things, you must not leave any flaws in your Taoist heart. If you do, the flaws will become flaws in your Taoist heart. Therefore, I must come to make amends."

Chen Shi was puzzled and asked: "Why did you lobby with the young master yesterday?"

Yu Lingzi said: "You killed Shen Hongniang from the Matchmaker Society, and many incense masters from the Matchmaker Society died in your hands. We talked about this while drinking, and also talked about what you did in Gongzhou and Yudu. Everything he did was filled with righteous indignation. Ying, I think you are overbearing. As the saying goes, after drinking three cups of wine, the five mountains will be lighter. I said, I will go to find you, so that you will not compete with the master for the first prize. , I’m not afraid.”

Chen Shi's eyes flashed: "Us? Who are we?"

Yu Lingzi said: "Senior Brother Fankongliufan from Shuiyue Shengjing, Taoist Jinlu from Taishang Haoyuan Palace, as well as Mr. Jiang Fangshu, Mr. Li Tianqian, Ma Xueqing and others. We also had a small gathering at Qixia Temple , mentioned this accidentally.”

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Are they still at Qixia Temple?"

Yu Lingzi said: "We are still there. We are also candidates who participated in the examination, but our status is extraordinary. It is not easy to live in guild halls in various provinces, so as not to be disturbed by other candidates. So the imperial court arranged for us to live in Qixia Temple. Young Master because He has an extraordinary status and lives in the Exquisite Pavilion."

In fact, they all have their own places to go in the city. For example, Yu Lingzi can live in the Taoist temple of Taihua Qinggong in Xijing. The children of the Thirteenth Family can live in the mansions of the officials of each family, Shuiyue Shengjing, Taishang Haoyuan Palace. They also have their own locations.

However, as people live separately, there are fewer opportunities to get together and communicate. What's more, they are all the young master's people, and getting together will be more conducive to the young master's management. As for Saint Xuan, she did not live in Qixia Temple because she had doubts about the young master's actions.

"Can you take me to Qixia to watch?" Chen Shi asked.

Yu Lingzi hesitated and said, "I'm worried that the people there will be rude to you because of the young master." Chen Shi shook his head and said, "If I don't go, how can I resolve the misunderstanding with them?"

Yu Lingzi thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case. He immediately led the way and said, "Uncle Master, I found that you are a good person. They said behind your back that you were ruthless, that you killed innocent people indiscriminately, that you were ambitious, and that you were unforgivable. You have many misunderstandings. If you tell me clearly in person, the misunderstanding will be eliminated. "

The muscles under Chen Shi's right eye twitched and he said, "What else did they say about me?" Yu Lingzi hesitated and said, "It's a bit unpleasant. I can't repeat it well."

Chen Shi said: "You can just say that our old Chen family is famous for being very generous. My grandfather is the same, and so is Chen Tang." "They say you are not a human being, but an evil spirit, born from a corpse... You Say you’re not angry.”

Chen Shi had a smile on his face and murmured: "I'm not angry. Just keep talking."

Yu Lingzi said: "They also said that what your grandfather recalled from the underworld may not be your soul, but that he might recall a demon. There was also the matter of you killing court officials and bullying men and women. They also said that you robbed The master’s magic weapon colludes with monsters to cause the magical transformation of Gongzhou.”

At this time, he heard the sound of grinding teeth coming from Chen Shi's mouth, and said quickly: "Uncle, are you okay?" "It's okay!"

Chen Shi smiled heartily and said, "How can something happen to me? My old Chen family is so generous. Yu Lingzi, why did you take revenge on Shen Hongniang? Do you know who Shen Hongniang is?"

Yu Lingzi said: "Shen Hongniang is a matchmaker who is very popular in the capital." "It turns out you don't know anything."

Chen Shi said, "Meeting matchmakers to propose marriages is a sideline of the Matchmaker's Association. The main business of the Matchmaker's Association is to help lonely young gentlemen, young ladies, noble ladies and officials, and guide them to make it easier for them to live happily.

Yu Lingzi was stunned.

Chen Shi explained the actions of the Matchmaker Club and said: "Young master, please lend me my hand to get rid of Shen Matchmaker and get rid of a serious problem for yourself. At the same time, I also tell other people in Xijing that I am the only one who knows about the dirty things you have done. , You can rest assured. Others will reciprocate and help the young master to beat me. If you don't have any leverage, what will you do? "

Yu Lingzi shook his head and said: "Young master is not this kind of person..."

But there was still a voice in his heart telling him that the young master was probably this kind of person.

He was extremely sad: "Am I being used as a weapon? Fan Kongliu and the others don't know your strength, so they don't dare to take action easily, so they sent me to test your background."

He felt as if his heart had been stabbed a thousand times and his nose was sore. He said, "I regard them as friends."

Chen Shi smiled and said: "It's common to make careless friends. But it's not too late for you to see through their true colors. By the way, Yu Lingzi, the core disciple of the Thirteenth Family, for example, the Mr. Jiang Li you just mentioned Young Master, how does your strength compare to yours?"

Yu Lingzi was still a little sad. After a while, he said: "We haven't competed, but everyone's cultivation realm is similar, so the strength should be high and low. Maybe the Thirteenth Family has more inheritance and is stronger."

"Just stronger than you?"

Chen Shi was a little disappointed, "That's not that strong..."

Yu Lingzi groaned, and felt that he was stabbed again. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't.

He was in the realm of the God Transformation Realm, and challenged Chen Shi, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm. As a result, he was beaten to a pulp without even using a single move, and almost died.

Chen Shi was puzzled: "Then why did Chen Tang say that the core children of the family are extremely powerful and I am not their opponent? If they are similar to you, it seems that it is no more than that."

Yu Lingzi groaned again and said: "Master, you don't know. There are two types of core children of the family. Maybe Master Chen Tang is talking about the second type."

Chen Shi said: "Which two types? ”

”The core children of the noble families are often the clan members who have obtained the first-grade or second-grade divine fetus. No matter how the divine fetus comes from, whether it is given by the true god or transplanted from others, as long as there is a good enough divine fetus and diligent practice, they can become core children. ”

Yu Lingzi said, “These children often get the true teachings of the noble family and practice the middle-level skills of the noble family. The second type of core children are to inherit the next generation of family heads and clan heads. This kind of noble family children may appear once every few decades, or two or three in a family. Their divine fetus must be given by God, not taken, to be eligible to become the next generation clan head. Perhaps Lord Chen Tang is referring to them. ”

Chen Shi asked: “Are there such people participating in the joint examination this time?”

Yu Lingzi shook his head and said: “I don’t know. The noble family will not say who they choose as the next generation clan head, for fear of being plotted against. "

Unconsciously, the two came to the outside of Qixia Temple.

Qixia Temple was built on a small hill, which was only more than ten feet high and covered only a few dozen acres. It looked like a few large stones exposed on the surface.

Although there were many mountains outside the city, there were few mountains in the city, so Qixia Temple was very popular. Chen Shi looked from afar and saw that the gods enshrined in Qixia Temple had already formed a divine appearance, a hundred feet high, one on the left and one on the right, wearing armor, and eyes between their eyebrows.

"These two godmothers are so powerful!" Chen Shi couldn't help but admire.

Yu Lingzi stopped and said: "Uncle Master, I won't go in."

"Why?" Chen Shi was puzzled.

Yu Lingzi was still a little sad, and said sadly: "I treat them as friends, and they treat me as a fool. After I go in, they will laugh at me."

Chen Shi shook his head and said: "You are not a fool, you treat people sincerely, and are willing to go through fire and water for your friends. If I have a friend like you, I will definitely treat you sincerely. The only thing you did wrong was making friends carelessly and not making real friends. "

Yu Lingzi was stunned: "I'm not stupid?"

Chen Shi said: "Good people should not be treated as fools. After all, I am your uncle, how can I not help you get justice? Follow me into the temple, let's talk about reason."

Yu Lingzi followed him and said anxiously: "Uncle, don't cause trouble because of me..."

Chen Shi walked into Qixia Temple and laughed heartily: "Our old Chen family is generous, how could we cause trouble? Have you read Confucius's "Analects"? You know the reason of Confucius, right? We scholars who learn from Confucius are reasonable."

He said to Hei Guo: "Hei Guo, let the receptionist close the door. Qixia Temple will not receive outsiders today."

-Update! Didn't expect there would be a second chapter today? I didn't expect it either! I rushed back to write after the live broadcast, and I haven't eaten yet, and finally finished a chapter.
