On the Avenue

Chapter 147 Hanging over the sea

Empress Hongshan arrived at Chen Shi's small temple and sat on the shrine. She felt physically and mentally comfortable, much more comfortable than staying in Hongshan Hall.

She couldn't help but sit cross-legged, with her five hearts facing the sky, and her own true energy flowing around, helping Chen Shi regulate his energy.

This posture is indescribably comfortable.

Chen Shi was anxious and walked out. The majestic true energy came from his body, regulating the energy and blood, feeding the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and the energy in the Hujingtang and Shenshi. He felt indescribably comfortable.

"Empress Hongshan knows so much, she is much better than Empress Shiji."

He thought to himself, "When I get to the temple, Empress Shiji will remain motionless, and Empress Hongshan will help me adjust my condition. It will be faster to reach the fourth level of the Golden Elixir!"

After the fourth turn of the golden elixir, if the golden elixir turns black, you can try the golden elixir to leave the body.

Chen Shi saw other people's golden elixirs coming out of their bodies, and he also wanted the golden elixirs to come out of his body, but his way of cultivation was different from others, so he could only envy him.

When he arrived at the incense hall, Lu Xiangzhu and Xiao Xiangzhu were still in the incense hall. Zhao Kaiyun had left, presumably to catch up on his sleep.

Xiao Xiangzhu was originally seriously injured. After this incident, the injury did not lessen, but became more serious. He is trying hard to use the Yang energy in the flame of the oil lamp to heal himself.

Sesame oil is sesame oil, which contains strong yang energy, but is much milder than the yang energy of black dog blood. After lighting the sesame oil, you can use the flame of a lamp to refine the impurities and yin energy in Yuanying and even the golden elixir. Therefore, it is often necessary to light a sesame oil lamp to treat injuries caused by Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul.

When worshiping gods, the lights are often scented oil lamps. Because the gods enshrined in temples also need the Yang energy in the lamp flames to regulate their divine power and transform into Yang gods.

"Brother Chen, are your injuries healed?"

Master Lu Xiang came out to welcome him, looked him up and down, and saw that he was fine. He was relieved and said, "Today I will help you join the membership. After you join our Hongshan Hall, I can make the decision to appoint you as the instructor of Hongshan Hall." . With your talent and knowledge, you are more than enough to be the incense master, but I am the incense master and cannot appoint the incense master. I can only make a decision after the Jade Hall Master comes back."

Chen Shi thanked him and said, "If it weren't for Hongshan Hall and the empress, my life would be in danger. If anything happens in the hall, I will not hesitate to die."

Master Lu Xiang smiled and said: "Master Jade said that we are all country bumpkins and have no power. If we don't help each other, we will really be eaten to the bone. Helping is our duty. It’s okay. Tianmu suffered a big loss this time. She knows that she is not as good as Hongshan Empress, so she won’t come to trouble you later.”

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

Tianmu of the Tianmu Society is really powerful and has many tricks. It would be really disturbing to be remembered by such evil spirits. No one knows when Tianmu will come to kill him.

Master Lu Xiang took the roster of the Hongshan Hall Talisman Masters Association, turned to the teaching page, registered Chen Shi's name and surname, and wrote down his monthly salary.

He took Chen Shi to worship the Empress of Hongshan and Hetongzi. After worshiping, he took the token of the Hongshan Hall Talisman Masters Association and said, "We brothers who have just joined the association still need to go to the streets every day to shout and promote Hongshan." Please give me the name of Empress of Hongshan Hall, and I will be considered a member if you ask for all the incense from hundreds of schools. But you are the leader, so there is no need to go to such trouble. But if you encounter a brother from Hongshan Hall, please help me. ”

Chen Shi accepted the instruction and asked, "I don't know much. As an instructor, do I still need to teach other talisman masters?"

"Don't you know much?"

Lu Xiangzhu thought of Chen Shi's superb talismans and said with a smile, "You are too humble. If you are free, you can go to the acting hall to teach the brothers in the hall how to use talismans. It doesn't take long to learn. Talismans are very difficult. If you teach them one or two talismans, it will take them several days. "

Chen Shi was puzzled: "Is it so difficult to learn talismans?"

He never found it difficult to learn talismans. When his grandfather taught him, he could draw them after learning them once.

Moreover, even if grandpa doesn't teach him, he can just watch his grandpa draw it once.

Master Lu Xiang sighed and said: "It's difficult? It's even more difficult! No one teaches you how to learn these things? Those who have learned it regard it as a treasure, who is willing to teach it to others? Not everyone can afford to be a teacher. Master Jade Hall The purpose of creating Hongshan Hall is for Talisman Masters to help each other and learn from each other.”

Chen Shi was in awe of the Jade Hall Master of Yutian City whom he had never met before, and said in his heart: "This person has a big heart."

He left Hongshan Hall and saw Hei Guo and Mu Cha standing guard outside the door of Hong Shan Hall. Hei Guo came up to him with a yawn. He suddenly looked at Chen Shi warily, walked up to him and sniffed him, and looked at Chen Shi with suspicion. Reality.

Chen Shi released Empress Hongshan, and Black Pot let out a low whimper.

It senses danger.

"Dog!"

Queen Hongshan was surprised and happy, so she rushed over and stroked the dog's head.

Black Pot Baria, it keenly sensed the evil aura from the girl in red.

However, after Empress Hongshan rubbed her dog's head for a while, Black Pot's teeth no longer clenched. She was very pleased with her and reluctantly accepted the girl.

Chen Shi was walking in the streets with a dog, a car and a lady.

It was already daybreak, and the atmosphere of Gongzhou City was filled with the smell of fireworks. The waiter at the bun shop opened the drawer, and the steam was rising. The white hot steam mixed with the aroma of meat buns and chopped green onions came to the nostrils, sweeping away the lethargy of the night and making people feel energetic. Vibration, big movement of index finger, wide opening of intestines and stomach.

Empress Hongshan is now in a state of divine appearance, and ordinary people cannot see her. Even monks can only see her if they use the Sky Eye Talisman or refine the Sky Eye.

This lady looked about 12 or 13 years old, about the same age as Chen Shi. She had come to the bun shop, tiptoed to look into the steamer, then turned around and looked at Chen Shi eagerly.

Chen Shi stepped forward: "Waiter, how much is a steamer?"

"Six coins a steamer, six big steamed buns with chives!"

"Four steamers."

"Okay!"

The waiter hurriedly took out the lotus leaves, poured the steamed buns into the lotus leaves, and quickly wrapped them up, four steamed buns in total.

Chen Shi handed one to the Red Mountain Lady, one to the black pot, one for himself, and the remaining one to the wooden cart.

The waiter took the money and was counting the copper coins. Before he finished counting, he saw the dog man standing up, holding a lotus leaf with one paw and stuffing a steamed bun into his mouth with the other paw, and he was stunned.

He rubbed his eyes and saw another lotus leaf floating in the air, and one of the steamed buns was also floating in the air, and suddenly a piece was missing, and his face turned pale.

"Kacha!"

The wooden cart blew out white smoke, and the body opened its bloody mouth, with red meat and white teeth, which were four or five times larger than tiger teeth. It threw the lotus leaf and the bun into its mouth, and then stretched out its long tongue to lick the frame reluctantly.

The red tongue of the wooden cart was about to lick the steamer, but was slapped by Chen Shi and quickly retracted.

Chen Shi saw the look of the shop assistant and hurriedly said: "Hei Guo, work!"

Hei Guo looked over, and the shop assistant seemed to be distracted. He shook his head with a puzzled look and said to himself: "Everything is normal, I was dazzled... I thought there was something evil going on. Haha, how could there be something evil going on outside Hongshan Hall!"

Hei Guo cheered up, ate buns, and followed Chen Shi step by step.

The residents in the streets were in a stable mood, as if they had seen the world.

Occasionally, a little girl would scream in surprise and point at them with a terrified look, but as Hei Guo glanced at her, the little girl also looked like she had seen the world and was not surprised.

Lady Hongshan was small but had a big appetite. The busy market in the morning was full of food, and there was no other thing for sale. She dragged Chen Shi along to buy and eat, still in high spirits.

Chen Shi was the first to eat, and Hei Guo was the second.

Later, even the wooden cart was full, she was still excited to move forward.

"I want to eat this!" She turned around and said crisply.

"Brothers of Hongshan Hall, how long have you kept this lady hungry?" Chen Shi complained in his heart.

Lady Hongshan ate three streets, and Chen Shi's exchanged silver and copper coins were all gone. He had to take out a hundred taels of silver notes to the bank to exchange some silver and copper coins to continue to satisfy Lady Hongshan's appetite.

After the morning market, other shops also opened their doors. The excitement did not decrease, but became even more lively.

Hongshan Niangniang took Chen Shi to walk around all the way, and was curious about everything. Gongzhou City was much more lively and prosperous than Xinxiang County, and there were all kinds of businesses.

She would run over to every stall and every shop, or squat down, or get close to them, curiously watching how the shopkeepers shouted and how they sold their own goods.

Soon, she bought all the toys on the peddler's stall.

The girl held a windmill in one hand and a candy man in the other. When her hands were not enough, she grew another arm to hold a kite, and then another arm to hold a rattle...

There were dozens of toys on the peddler's stall, and the girl grew dozens of arms to hold various toys and had a lot of fun.

Others couldn't see her, they could only see all kinds of toys floating in the air, windmills spinning, kites flying, rattles swaying left and right and making non-stop noises...

"Hei Guo!"

Chen Shi was quite nervous and asked quickly, "Can you control it?"

Hei Guo was even more nervous than him, trying his best to control the mentality of everyone on the street, so tired that he opened his mouth, panting, and his tongue sticking out.

It was trying its best to control the situation, to control the hundreds of people on the street, and it inevitably forgot to interfere with Chen Shi's cognition.

Since his grandfather passed away, Chen Shi had been disturbed by the dog. At this moment, he suddenly regained his consciousness and immediately came back to his senses. He looked at Hei Guo in surprise and thought to himself: "My dog ​​seems to be a little bit wrong... Well, it was not normal. Let it go."

The dog was left to him by his grandfather. It was considered his closest "person". Even if it was not normal, Chen Shi had no intention of abandoning the dog.

Black Pot tried hard to control the street, but it was extremely difficult. Everyone on the street had different willpower, and there were monks passing by nearby. It was extremely difficult to make everyone unaware of the abnormality.

Fortunately, Goddess Hongshan soon lost interest in these toys and took a fancy to other things.

Chen Shi followed her around, and before noon, he had spent nearly half of the 100 taels of silver. Later, he went to the cloth shop and found an embroiderer to make new clothes for her. He would come back to pick it up in a few days.

Finally, the 100 taels of silver were spent.

Chen Shi was worried. Although the scholar had some property, he could not afford to spend money like this. He was afraid that he would be penniless in a short time.

"I came to Hongshan Hall to make money. Now I haven't made a penny, but I have lost a lot."

He thought about what other ways to make money, but the ways to make money quickly seemed to be recorded in the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and ordinary people couldn't do it.

Chen Shi suddenly thought of the Bixi shell he had obtained in the Shanjun Temple and how he had sold it to make money. Perhaps he could find some relics in the place where the Goddess of Hongshan was born and make a fortune. He asked, "Goddess, where were you born?"

Empress Hongshan said: "The place where I was born is in the Yanxia Ridge of Henggong Mountain. It's only forty miles away from the city to the south."

Chen Shi asked: "Can you take me to see it?"

"sure!"

Chen Shi jumped onto the wooden cart and pulled her onto the cart. Black Guo returned the compass to Chen Shi.

"Kai Guo, you also come to the car." Chen Shi said.

Heiguo climbed into the car and sat in the back. Chen Shi controlled the compass and rushed to the south of the city.

Before leaving the city, I saw a huge crowd of people ahead, blocking the road. Chen Shi stood in the car and looked forward, only to see a dozen beggars with missing arms and legs blocking the road. These beggars were men, women and children. They begged from the merchants along the street and would not leave unless they gave them money. .

Pedestrians on the street can't get through either and are blocked here.

"He's from Tianmuhui."

Empress Hongshan tried her best to look around and said, "The people in Tianmuhui are not engaged in production. In name, they rely on the sky for food, but in fact they rely on begging for food. They are blocking this street. If they will leave for a while, let's take a detour." "

Chen Shi took a detour, but the two nearby streets were also blocked by people from the Tianmu Society, so he had to go around to the East City Gate.

The main altar of Tianmuhui is not far from the east city gate. It is also a mansion covering an area of ​​more than ten acres. From a distance, Chen Shi saw Tianmu’s huge head standing among the houses. From time to time, Turning around, looking in all directions, his mouth opened and closed slightly, not knowing what he was saying.

There is a lot of construction work going on in the main altar of the Tianmu Association. It looks like a palace is being built, but the scale is many times larger than the normal hall. It is thought to be a place to worship Tianmu.

Suddenly, Tian Lao saw Chen Shi, with a sinister look in his eyes.

Chen Shi felt awe-struck and left in a hurry.

"Tianmu Club has been very prosperous recently, with more and more members, and more and more incense. I'm afraid it won't be long before it catches up with me."

Empress Hongshan was a little worried and said, "I can still suppress her now. If one day I can't suppress her, I'm afraid our Hongshan Hall will suffer a loss."

Chen Shi asked: "Mother, will Tianmu only rely on begging for a living?"

Empress Hongshan shook her head and said: "Begging is only part of their industry. Tianmu will make a living by making animals. I heard from Xiaocheng that they also have a business of harvesting and cutting crops."

Chen Shi didn't understand, so he drove the wooden cart out of the city, heading south towards Yanxia Ridge.

Henggong Mountain is a large mountain range that runs from southwest to northeast and is six to seven thousand miles long. Strictly speaking, Qianyang Mountain is also subordinate to the Henggong Mountain Range and is one of the more magnificent branches.

They drove all the way to Yanxia Ridge, only to see that the surrounding area had become desolate, with no vegetation on the ground, let alone crops.

Looking around, for more than ten miles, there is a flat, mirror-like surface everywhere, formed by the melting and solidification of the earth.

Chen Shi jumped off the wooden cart and walked on the mirror-like ground. Under the mirror were dragon-like bones, crawling for miles.

He looked forward, and Yanxia Ridge suddenly appeared on the mirror-like flat land.

This place seems to have experienced a terrible war. The battle melted the earth and sealed many ancient things underground!

Empress Hongshan took him to Yanxia Ridge, but she saw that Yanxia Ridge was split in the middle. On the other side of the mountain was the sea, and he could smell the salty sea breeze.

The Empress of Hongshan pointed to the Great Rift Valley and said: "I was born from here. I heard from Xiaocheng that there was a big earthquake that cracked the mountain, and then I emerged from the ground, my flesh and blood crawling up , turned evil and killed many people.”

Chen Shi looked into the rift valley and saw a dilapidated temple on the cliff in the valley. It was built against the cliff. It was a suspended temple!

Chen Shi left the black pot and the wooden cart on the Yanxia Ridge and took the Hongshan Empress to find a way to the bottom of the valley. Then they climbed up from the bottom of the valley and finally arrived at the hanging temple.

Chen Shi recognized the writing on the collapsed lintel of Xuankong Temple. After a long while, he found several pieces of the lintel and put them together, and then he recognized the name of the temple.

"Mazu Temple."
