On the Avenue

Chapter 145 The Empress of Hongshan (please ask for monthly tickets in the middle of the month)

Chen Shi's eyes could see clearly at night, but he couldn't see very far. He managed to focus his vision and saw that the black figure was a black bear, wearing human clothes and a scholar's robe, with his hair in a bun and a Hairpin.

Its robe is quite wide, covering its fat body.

——The scholars wear Taoist robes. Rumor has it that Emperor Jiajing came from the Taoist sect. Emperor Jiajing was a member of the Taoist sect. He was known as the Longevity Emperor and the Purple Immortal. He also gave Taoist robes to all civil and military officials. Later, scholars became proud to wear Taoist robes.

If you encounter this bear at night, you will definitely think that it is just a fat scholar. Only when you get closer can you tell it's a bear.

But when you see it clearly, it's often too late. The black bear will pounce directly on you and eat you!

While the black bear was eating the scholar's leg, it was looking around vigilantly. It made a very low sound while eating, probably because it was worried about waking up other people.

Suddenly, it seemed to notice something and turned to look at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi's eyes flashed, and he was about to cast a spell to kill the black bear. Suddenly, a divine light suddenly appeared in the room, and the shrine divine fetus appeared behind Zhao Kaiyun's head. With a buzzing sound, a sword energy flew out!

The black bear was so dexterous that he managed to avoid Zhao Kaiyun's Ziwu Evil-Slaying Sword at such a close distance. He reached out and grabbed the half-eaten scholar, smashed through the wall with a bang, and escaped from the room!

"Xie Sui, still trying to escape!"

Zhao Kaiyun did not expect that it could avoid his sword energy. He immediately jumped up and chased outwards. Suddenly, a whistling wind blew past him, and he almost flew forward.

Zhao Kaiyun was shocked and doubtful, and hurriedly stabilized his body, only to see the short figure rushing out of the hole. It was Chen Shi, heading straight for the black bear!

"Don't get close!"

Zhao Kaiyun screamed, but he saw the figure making slight contact with the leaping black bear, and a huge black shadow flew out to one side as if struck by lightning, booming, booming, and crashing through several walls before stopping.

The other scholars were immediately awakened and stood up to look outside.

They are all talented people who have received divine fetuses from the gods. At this moment, shrines are being set up to offer sacrifices, and the divine fetuses emit light, illuminating the post as brightly as day.

"What happened?"

There was a lot of noise and questions everywhere.

Zhao Kaiyun rushed forward, only to see that the black bear spirit's entire body had broken bones, like a puddle of mud lying under the wall, lifeless.

Zhao Kaiyun was shocked and doubtful, and hurried to Chen Shi's side. He saw Chen Shi's energy and blood steaming, forming a blood cloud outside his body, holding the scholar whose calf had been chewed off in the air.

"He was hit by the charm, and his soul was lost. He walked between the yin and yang worlds, so he couldn't sleep."

Chen Shi supported the scholar with his energy and blood, pinched the sword with his right hand, and said quickly, "I will summon his soul with the soul-summoning talisman, and let his soul return to the body!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he used the sword finger of his right hand as a pen to draw a soul-calling talisman in the air. His energy and blood condensed into a talisman, and then the buzzing sound became brighter. The twisted and mysterious words sparkled. Chen Shi gently pushed and entered. Inside the scholar's body.

"It hurts!"

The scholar woke up, held his calf and screamed miserably.

Chen Shi ignored the scholar and came to the dead black bear spirit, as if he was groping for something.

Zhao Kaiyun saw this and quickly followed him. He couldn't help but admire him very much and said: "Brother Chen, you are so accomplished in talismans. If you go to Hongshan Hall, you will only get thirty taels of monthly salary. You are a teacher after all! How dare this evil spirit It’s so audacious to go to a posthouse and eat people!”

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "He is not evil."

"Isn't it evil?" Zhao Kaiyun was stunned.

Chen Shi touched the back of the black bear's head, suddenly grabbed a hard hair, and pulled it out with force. The body of the black bear spirit was actually twisting and changing, and soon it transformed from a bear into a woman!

"This is the art of animal creation, a kind of magic. This woman must have practiced the art of animal creation. She can turn other people into livestock, and she can also transform herself into a beast."

Chen Shi guessed, "She turned into a black bear and couldn't control her animal nature, so she came out to eat people."

Zhao Kaiyun was startled when he saw the wooden token hanging on the woman's waist, and said in a voiceless voice: "He is a disciple of Tianmuhui! He is in trouble! Brother Chen, let's leave quickly!"

He pulled off the wooden token and turned around to leave.

Chen Shi quickly followed him and asked: "What is the Tianmu Club? Brother Zhao, this time the artificial animals of the Tianmu Club got out of control and ran to the post to eat people. We can handle it. Why do we need to leave?"

Zhao Kaiyun signaled him to stop talking and hurriedly walked out of the post, then said: "It's reasonable but I can't explain it clearly! The government in Gongzhou doesn't care about things, where else can they be reasonable? I am the Talisman Master of Hongshan Hall, let's go to Hongshan Tang, place this token behind the incense burner of Hongshan Hall, and use the incense of Hongshan Hall to suppress the token. Tianmu will not dare to offend Empress Hongshan!"

Chen Shi felt uneasy. During the day, he had seen the evil spirits enshrined in Caolaohui, Yanlaohui and Hongshan Hall in Gongzhou. They were so powerful that they were like evil gods. It is indeed not a good thing to be targeted by such a being!

"Brother Zhao, I'm here to take Tianmu's order so as not to implicate you." Chen Shi said.

Zhao Kaiyun hesitated and gave Tianmu's order to him, saying: "This thing cannot be damaged. After it is damaged, Tianmu will sense you. If he knows that you killed a disciple of Tianmu Society, he will definitely arrest you. It's a worse life." die!"

Chen Shi thanked him.

Zhao Kaiyun only met him for the first time and exchanged a few words with him, but he was very enthusiastic towards others. Even though it was only Chen Shi's business, he took the initiative to help Chen Shi make suggestions.

"He is a person worth getting to know." Chen Shi said sincerely.

Although the world is dangerous, he still meets many people who hold hope, such as Zhuge Jian, Li Tianqing, Ding Ding, and Zhao Kaiyun beside him.

The main altar of Hongshan Hall is not too far from the post office, only two miles apart. Zhao Kaiyun came to the main altar. Several strong men from Hongshan Hall were guarding the door. There were also two stone lions, each as tall as one person. , standing in front of the door.

Seeing their arrival, the two stone lions suddenly moved. One stone lion jumped down from the stone pier and raised its huge front paw to block the two of them.

"Stop!" said a Hongshantang warrior.

Zhao Kaiyun took out the token of Hongshan Hall, and then the stone lion let them pass.

The few Hongshantang warriors did not stop him.

Zhao Kaiyun said quickly: "Senior brothers, is the hall master here?"

A strong man shook his head and said: "The hall master is not here. A evil spirit appeared in Peng Bao and several brothers died. Master Xiao Xiang failed to take it down and was seriously injured, so the hall master rushed over in person."

"Is there an incense master at the main altar?"

"The Master of Luxiang is in the Xiangtang."

Zhao Kaiyun quickly took Chen Shi into the main altar. Chen Shi looked around and saw the carved beams and painted buildings of this large house. There was an incense burner three or two steps away, with incense burning in the furnace. There must be a lantern ten steps away, a red lantern.

The road inside the main altar is winding, passing through a long walkway under a tall building, and then passing through several portals against the wall before arriving at the Xiangtang.

There are ninety-nine scented oil lamps placed in the incense hall. Although there are many lights, they are not very bright.

There were several people sitting on futons in front of the sesame oil lamps. One of them was emerging from the Nascent Soul, wandering among the lights of the sesame oil lamps, going in and out of the flames.

That man should be a talisman master. Around the futon under his seat, the structure of the golden light talisman emerged from the energy and blood. He must have been injured. The golden light talisman is also called the golden light amulet, which can guard the Taoist heart from external evils.

His Nascent Soul is not big, only the size of a finger. It walks in the flames of the lamps, absorbs the pure Yang energy in the flames of the sesame oil lamps, and compensates for its own damage.

The flame of the lamp that his Nascent Soul walks over will quickly dim and will only recover after a while.

Chen Shi was not from Hongshan Hall, so he stayed outside. Zhao Kaiyun walked in, first greeted several people on the futon, and then came to one person, bowed and whispered a few words.

Chen Shi stood outside the incense hall and looked behind the incense hall. He saw the moonlight suddenly falling from the sky and falling towards the back of the incense hall. It was colorful and brilliant, like pear blossoms falling from a tree full of trees.

Behind the incense hall is a mountain of meat, and there is no unusual smell.

That mountain of meat is the Blood Tai Sui.

The blood Tai Sui is absorbing the moonlight, forming a scene where the moonlight is like a pear blossom!

"Xue Taisui is so strong!"

Chen Shi was quite shocked, but also a little puzzled, "Xue Taisui took the initiative to absorb the moonlight, isn't he afraid of being transformed by the moonlight?"

It is common sense that if one absorbs moonlight, it will turn into evil spirits.

Chen Shi's grandfather, Chen Yindu, ran out of life. He arranged a funeral for himself and deceived evil spirits to escape death. However, he did not escape the moonlight, which made him sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and he wanted to eat his grandson.

Later, Chen Yindu fought against the Evil Bodhisattva and was unable to suppress his demonic nature, so he took the initiative to enter the underworld. However, his demonic nature was also caused by the moonlight.

Xue Taisui took the initiative to absorb Yuehua and didn't go on a killing spree, which seemed quite strange to Chen Shi.

At this time, the road incense master in the incense hall turned to look at Chen Shi and whispered: "Since it is a righteous act, we at Hongshan Hall have to help."

Master Lu Xiang was still sitting there and said: "Brother Chen, come in."

When Chen Shi was about to walk into the incense hall, Zhao Kaiyun said quickly: "Walk slowly and don't bring up the wind. Xiao Xiangzhu's Nascent Soul is damaged and is still healing, so he can't be blown by the wind."

Chen Shi slowed down and entered the incense hall.

The incense master of Lu ordered: "Brother Chen, hang the Tianmu Order behind the incense burner and give Hetong three sticks of incense. If Hetong receives the incense, go and report to the empress, then everything will be fine. If he does not accept the incense, he will be fine." , the three sticks of incense will fall, and our Hongshan Hall will no longer be in your business."

Chen Shi thanked him and walked in the direction of his finger. Sure enough, he saw a three-legged incense burner, like a big toad, lying on the table.

The incense burner is surrounded by the smell of incense, and green smoke is floating towards the crane behind.

The crane has a red crown and a white body, with a row of black tips on its wings. It should be a piece of porcelain, standing there on one foot.

Chen Shi hung the Tianmu Ling on the paw of the crane porcelain and put three sticks of incense on it.

He stood in front of the incense burner and waited for a while. The incense in the burner never poured out.

While he was still waiting, a clear child's voice came from his mind, and said with a smile: "The empress said that the disciples of Tianmuhui do evil, and the young master is doing justice for heaven, and he is not a bad person. The empress has taken over this matter, and Tianmu will not look for it." You're in trouble."

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to thank him.

The voice of the crane boy said: "I don't dare. The queen said that the young master is blessed with great luck, and the queen is just the icing on the cake."

Chen Shi was surprised.

"The empress said that the people in Tianmu's Association already know about the disciple's death and have reported the matter to Tianmu. Tianmu will come to kill you, so you stay in the Xiangtang tonight."

The crane boy continued, "After tonight, everything will be fine. You can leave tomorrow."

Chen Shi thanked him and stepped back from the incense burner.

Master Lu Xiang said: "Since Hetong has accepted your incense, you will stay in the incense hall. Master Xiao Xiang will also stay in the hall if his Yuan Ying is damaged. You sit next to Master Xiao Xiang and do not go out. If you go out , I may not be able to protect you."

Chen Shi thanked him and sat next to Master Xiao Xiang.

Xiao Xiangzhu's face was pale and his lips were bloodless, and he nodded lightly to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi also nodded.

Master Lu Xiang said: "Brother Zhao said that you are superb in talismans and can draw talismans with your bare hands. Brother Chen, can you use it?"

Chen Shi immediately drew a peace talisman with his sword finger.

Seeing this, Master Lu Xiang's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Brother Chen is not very old, but his attainments in talismans are extraordinary. There are probably less than ten people in our Hongshan Hall who can surpass you, and they are all Xiang Masters and Hall Masters." Lord. Are you interested in joining Hongshan Hall? I can offer you a position as a teacher with a salary of thirty taels of silver per month."

Chen Shi said: "I need a lot of money. Thirty two dollars a month is enough for three days."

Lu Xiangzhu was surprised: "Ten taels of silver a day! Did you grow up eating money?"

He thought for a while and said: "We, the incense masters, only have fifty taels of silver per month. If we don't have enough money, we have to go out to hunt evil spirits and go to the government to exchange for money. Originally, it was the government's responsibility to get rid of evil spirits, but the government thought it was troublesome and Many houses died The yamen servants were later handed over to our Hongshan Hall Talisman Masters Association. If you are strong enough, you can make another fortune by hunting evil spirits. If you kill enough evil spirits, you can also become the incense master every month. You can get fifty taels."

He added: "Don't think of our Hongshan Hall as a place to worship evil gods. In fact, we are all suffering originally. I think you have seen it when you come to Gongzhou. You can't survive without some power, so we Talisman Masters gathered here Together, they formed the Hongshan Hall. The full name of the Hongshan Hall is the Hongshan Hall Talisman Masters Mutual Aid Association. It is in the business of helping the world and saving people, not the business of beheading. "

Chen Shi originally felt that there was something evil in Hongshan Hall, but after hearing this, he felt relieved and asked: "I came to Gongzhou just to take the exam. I will return to Xinxiang after the big exam. Will there be any impact?"

Master Lu Xiang said with a smile: "Hongshan Hall is very idle to begin with. You can leave whenever you want. But after you leave Gongzhou, you will have no monthly salary."

Chen Shi agreed immediately.

When everyone was talking about this, suddenly the wind suddenly started blowing outside, and the strong wind whimpered, making the sound of ghosts crying, getting closer and closer.

In the incense hall, the flames of the fragrant oil lamps were flying wildly, and suddenly they burst into green flames, rising five or six feet high!

Xiao Xiangzhu's Nascent Soul was being healed in the flames of the lamp. When it was blown by the sinister wind, it hurt like a knife, and he couldn't help but let out a scream and rolled around on the ground.

"Quickly activate the Wind-Fixing Talisman!" he shouted.

Lu Xiangzhu hurriedly activated his Qi and blood, trying to stop the Yin wind. Unexpectedly, just as the Qi and blood circulated, the surrounding area became bright, but Chen Shi had already activated his Qi and blood to form a wind-fixing talisman to stop the Yin wind.

The green flames that flew upwards returned to their normal color, and the flames began to fall back.

"His talisman is superior to mine!"

Master Lu Xiang looked at Chen Shi in shock, "Most of the Talisman Masters in our Hongshan Hall are not as good as him. I'm afraid only the Hall Master can beat him!"

"Hongshan, your man killed my disciple, are you going to protect him?"

An old woman's voice came from outside the Xiangtang, shouting, "Hand over this person, or you will be bloodbathed in Hongshan Hall today!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly let out a loud roar. The window lattice door of the Xiang Hall was shaken open by the roar, a strong wind roared into the Xiang Hall, and all ninety-nine oil lamps were extinguished!

Chen Shi looked into the yard through the moonlight, but saw that the yard was filled with a huge old woman's head. The old woman's face blocked their sight, her mouth opened wide, and she was shouting!

"Tianmu, you are so presumptuous."

A pleasant female voice came. Listening to this voice, I had no idea that the owner of the voice was Roshan behind the Xiangtang. I just thought it was a young girl!
