On the Avenue

Chapter 175 Don’t dare to speak loudly for fear of frightening the heavens

Chen Shi was walking hard in the swamp, surrounded by many people like him. Half of these people were stuck in the swamp, and they had to try their best to pull out their legs. It took a long time to take a step out.

There was a man not far away. His leg fell into the swamp while he was walking. He reached out to fish it out and groped for a long time before he found his leg.

Assembling his legs, he moved on.

Chen Shi and the people in these swamps didn't know where their destination was, but everyone was moving forward in a daze, as if a voice was calling them and guiding them in the direction.

There is a light blue flame in the water next to it, which is difficult to spot without looking carefully.

Chen Shi saw that when a woman was touched by this blue fire, the burning place was like a wick, and the woman was the lamp oil, shrinking as it burned.

The woman didn't feel any pain, her body became smaller and smaller, and finally burned out.

"Maybe it's a flame that can ignite the soul." Chen Shi said heartily.

Where there is this blue flame, there often grows a white flower, like a lotus, but it has no other color except white, and there is no fragrance.

Chen Shi looked around and said sadly, "I'm dead."

The old beggar was so powerful that he would die as soon as he pointed it out.

Facing the existence of such a realm, all resistance is in vain.

This was his second death since he could remember.

But according to Grandma Sha, this should be the eleventh time she died.

He had died ten times before this.

Those ten times in the past, it was Grandpa, Grandma Sha, and Heiguo who took action to save him from the underworld.

"Grandpa is dead, Granny Sha is fighting with others, no one knows that I am dead." He looked gloomy.

Chen Shi couldn't help but follow the vague call. He also struggled to pick up his legs and walked out step by step.

He was unable to resist that call and could only carefully avoid those light blue flames to avoid being burned to ashes.

He saw an acquaintance, his eyes lit up, and he quickly said: "Martial arts are upright, Master of the Martial Hall!"

There is a burly man in the army of ghosts, who is the leader of Tianmuhui, Wu Daozheng, and he is also walking in the swamp.

When Chen Shi saw an acquaintance, he couldn't help but be extremely excited, and tried his best to get closer to Wudaozheng. But Wu Daozheng looked dull, his head and face were covered in blood, and he didn't seem to have any impression of him.

"Why are you dead too?"

Chen Shi was very familiar with him. He raised his hand and touched Wu Daozheng's head. He found that his skull had been dented by someone. He smiled and said, "You have injuries on your head? Were you shot to death? You are very tall. If I were to photograph you, I would definitely Missed the shot. Did you get shot while you were kneeling? Don’t you recognize me? I am Chen Shi, the scholar at Hongshan Hall. It fell...you are so noble!"

Chen Shi was angry, but the ghost ignored him.

Martial Arts seemed to be stunned and walked forward in a daze.

Most ghosts are like him, but there are no ghosts as lively as Chen Shi.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound in the air, like someone reciting a spell, and then the sky opened and circular holes appeared.

Chen Shi raised his head and saw small boats hanging down from the cave entrances.

The small boat was six or seven feet long and more than a foot wide. It was hung on the rope and slowly hung down.

Then, heads popped out of those round holes, and they were some boys and girls. They looked around and found that there was no danger, so they slowly slid down the ropes, not daring to make any noise, and fell quietly. On those dinghies. The small boat can accommodate just one person, and there is a paddle on the boat. They carefully slide the paddle in the swamp, avoiding the ghosts that are like old things. They control the small boat and drive to the blue flames everywhere.

Chen Shi looked around as he trudged forward, and saw that some children accidentally touched the light blue flames, and their souls were ignited. After a while, their souls were burned away, and only a white skeleton was left on the boat. Some boatmen avoided the flames and sailed to the white lotus. They carefully picked the white lotus and were so happy that they turned around and rowed the famous boat back the same way.

"They are people from the earthly world!"

Chen Shi realized that these young men and women were living beings in the underworld. Because the boy's yang had not been released and the girl's yin had not been broken, they could resist the invasion of the yin energy in the underworld. Some monks who practice soul-like magic will ask young men and women to search for treasures in the underworld.

In order to find the Sansheng Stone, Grandma Sha sent her son Xiang Tianyu into the underworld, but as a result, her son never returned. "Maybe a wealthy family or a famous sect sent people into the underworld to steal white lotus!"

Chen Shi saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl rowing by not far from him, and quickly shouted: "Girl, help me!" His throat was burning, and when he opened his mouth to speak, a hoarse voice came out of his throat, like a ghost. They are talking and no living person can understand them.

"Help me."

He held out his hand to the girl.

The girl should be a child from a poor family, her clothes are rough and tattered, her hair is tied with two corner buns with a white ribbon, and there is a red dot on her forehead, which is painted between the eyebrows and the sky. There was a paper talisman hanging on her waist. Although she couldn't understand the nonsense, she saw Chen Shi reaching out to her as if asking for help, and she understood what Chen Shi meant.

Her boat stopped under a rope, and she stretched out her hand to try to grab Chen Shi and pull him out of the mud onto the boat, but there was still two or three steps between them. Seeing this, the boys and girls in the other boats waved to her, indicating that she could not save the ghost and left quickly before anyone noticed.

The girl with a corner bun hesitated, grabbed the rope with one hand, and stretched out the other hand, waiting for Chen Shi to come over. At this moment, there was a vibration in the sky.

The girl's face suddenly changed, and she threw Bai Lian to Chen Shi. She grabbed the rope and pulled hard. Someone in the round hole immediately pulled the rope and lifted her and the boat up. "Eat it!"

The girl with a bun said in a low voice, "I'll save you next time I come over!"

Chen Shi caught Bai Lian and saw the girl and the boat being pulled into the round hole. The round hole closed and disappeared. In other round holes, there were people pulling the ropes hard to pull the boys and girls up into the sky.

Suddenly, a child couldn't hold on to the rope, and he and the boat fell into the swamp with a loud thud.

In the swamp, all the ghosts suddenly stopped and remained motionless.

The ropes that were pulling the boys and girls suddenly accelerated and pulled upwards quickly, as if something terrible was about to happen!

Chen Shi also looked up and saw a pair of huge eyes suddenly appearing in the sky, as if the sky was split open. The two eyes opened and their eyeballs moved around, searching for the source of the sound. Then the sky drooped, gradually revealing a huge face, a green-faced and fanged ghost with pointed ears. Looking down, from a distance, it almost seemed to be sticking to the swamp.

The giant ghost stretched out his hand, picked up the child who fell into the swamp, and put it into his mouth, as if he was tasting a rare delicacy in the world. The giant ghost ate the child and stretched out his fingers to count the white lotuses in the swamp.

When Chen Shi saw this, he hurriedly put the white lotus that the girl with a horned bun threw at him into his mouth, chewed it hard, and swallowed it whole, his heart beating wildly.

The giant ghost counted for a moment and found that there were a lot missing. He let out an angry roar, which shocked all the ghosts in the swamp. Some ghosts were directly shocked to death, fell in the swamp, and were swallowed up by the swamp. Chen Shi stabilized his soul and found that after the ghosts who were shocked to death fell down, they soon turned into a pool of water and ignited a light blue flame.

Where there are many dead ghosts, a puddle will form, and among the light blue flames, white lotuses will gradually reveal their sharp corners.

Chen Shi was slightly startled: "The ghosts in the swamp will turn into nutrients after death, turning into water to nourish the lotus! This is a breeding ground for ghosts, a place where white lotuses are planted!" This place is similar to the underworld in ancient legends. What a huge difference!

All the ghosts in the swamp will become nourishment for the white lotus to grow!

The giant ghost gradually rose again, merged with the sky, disappeared, and closed its eyes.

After a while, snoring came from the sky. Chen Shi waited for a moment, but saw a crack in the sky suddenly. The ghost opened his eyes secretly, and his eyeballs rolled in the crack, secretly looking at his paddy fields. Lest anyone steal the white lotus you planted again.

After another moment, the eye slowly closed. In the sky, snoring gradually began. Slowly and slightly, the ghost must have fallen asleep.

Chen Shi calmed down and saw a small boat not far away, so he raised his legs and walked towards the small boat. At this time, he felt that his body was much lighter and he could easily pull out his legs and feet that were stuck in the swamp! "It's the effect of Bailian!"

He suddenly realized that he ate the white lotus and strengthened his soul!

That vague and strange call seemed to be much less attractive to him. "White lotus is a good thing!"

Chen Shi climbed onto the boat and looked at the other white lotuses in the swamp. He paddled the boat and the boat sailed on the swamp, heading towards those white lotuses. He has become a ghost and is not afraid of the underworld.

Chen Shi picked a lotus flower and ate it wholeheartedly. As expected, his soul felt a little stronger.

He rowed the boat and picked white lotuses along the way. He felt that his soul was getting stronger and stronger. In just a short time, after eating dozens of white lotuses, he felt that his body was so light that he could actually float on the water when he stepped on the swamp. superior. He can even gather his magic power and wave his hand to create a cloud of evil wind!

Chen Shi continued to pick, and after eating hundreds of white lotus flowers, he felt that his soul was solid and felt like a physical body.

There is also a strange power flowing in his body. This power is the power of the soul, which can repair the damage to his soul and nourish and strengthen his spirit. "If I keep eating like this, I'm afraid I'll soon become the King of Ghosts! Hey, it's strange, what is here..."

Chen Shi ate the lotus and saw the soul power flowing in his body, rushing to his limbs and bones, but there was something blocking the flow of soul power only between his eyebrows. He held the sides of the boat with both hands, leaned down, and took a look at the water.

I saw his reflection reflected in the water. His eyebrows were turned inward. About three inches deep into his brain, there were densely packed talismans and seals, forming a celestial palace structure. Thousands of gods were sitting in the talisman palace, as if they were in a celestial palace. What is being suppressed! Chen Shi was about to take a closer look when he suddenly saw his own reflection in the water, and in the sky behind him, he suddenly opened his eyes to see what would happen!

"The ghost is awake?!"

Chen Shi's hair stood on end and he didn't dare to move.

The eyelid gradually opened, and the sound of snoring was still heard in the air, but it was gradually getting louder and louder. The eyes under the eyelids were motionless, as if they were staring at the thief who was stealing the white lotus.

Chen Shi held the boat gang tightly with both hands, and his thighs gradually tightened.

Suddenly, the ghost's face sank and roared, "Lotus thief!" Chen Shi rushed forward without thinking.

He stepped on the dark wind, not touching the ground, and took a step to cover a distance of six or seven feet. He rushed and roared, and in an instant, he covered two or three miles.

The giant ghost fell from the sky and stepped on the swamp. It was thousands of feet tall, stepped on the magic flame, and held a steel fork. The fork head was emitting a group of ghost fire, which flew around the fork head. It took a step and caught up with Chen Shi. It raised the fork and stabbed Chen Shi, shouting, "You stole my white lotus, and I want you to become manure!"

Just as Chen Shi was about to be stabbed to death by it, a rumbling sound suddenly came. The giant ghost saw a mountain with black smoke and black fire running towards him from afar. The next moment, he was hit and fell backwards. It turned over and swung the steel fork to stab the giant. Suddenly, it saw the appearance of the giant clearly. It was horrified and jumped into the sky, hiding its tracks and disappearing.

It was Black Pot that rushed over. After forcing the giant ghost to retreat, it immediately crawled down, shaking its tail and whirring, blowing away countless ghosts around. With a smile on its face, it looked at Chen Shi sideways, waiting for him to climb onto its back. Chen Shi climbed onto its back and said, "Black Pot, did Granny Sha ask you to come to me?"

Black Pot nodded, stepped on the swamp, and ran like flying towards a big fire.

Chen Shi looked back at the swamp full of white lotuses and thought, "This is a good place. I have to remember it and come to steal it next time."

He thought of the girl with a pigtail and threw him the white lotus, and thought, "This favor must be repaid. Strange, why would they risk their lives to steal the white lotus in the underworld? Stealing white lotuses, even a cultivator like me could die at any time, let alone them?"

He could see that the young men and women who stole the white lotuses had no cultivation, and they would die in the underworld if they were not careful. Even if they didn't die, they would be corroded by the Yin Qi after a few more trips to the underworld, and they would die, and they wouldn't live long.

As for taking such a big risk to steal white lotuses?

He was a little confused.

"Also, why are the talismans in my soul so similar to the talismans that sealed Uncle Xiaowu? Could it be Grandpa's doing? What did my grandfather seal in my head?" Chen Shi wondered, Grandpa never said this!

"The little kid drove a small boat and secretly picked white lotuses. He dared not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the gods in heaven."

The main altar of Taiping Gate is located at Fenghuang Ridge of Henggong Mountain. Several girls gathered together, including the girl with a pigtail.

"I finally picked a lotus to bring back the soul, but you actually gave it to a little ghost!"

A fat woman from Taiping Gate kicked the girl with a pigtail to the ground, whipped her with a whip, and shouted, "You still want to save a ghost, save yourself first! You guys, if you don't pick the lotus to bring back the soul, don't even think about eating at night, you're all starving!" The girl with a pigtail curled up in the corner. A girl came up to her, took out a steamed bun from her arms, and said, "Little Dingxiang, this is what I saved, you eat it, it's enough to fill your stomach."

Little Dingxiang shook her head: "You eat it, I'm not hungry."

Her stomach was rumbling with hunger, and she thought to herself, "Next time I go to the underworld, will he still be there? I should have time to rescue him."
