On the Avenue

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "A barren mountain suddenly appeared near our village. There was a temple on the mountain. I practiced cultivation very quickly in the temple. However, the temple was smashed by an extraterrestrial stone, so I planned to continue my cultivation again." Find one."

"Practice in an ancient temple?"

Granny Sha was surprised, looked at him deeply, and reminded him, "Xiao Shi, you no longer have a divine fetus. Do you know what it means to not have a divine fetus?"

Chen Shi smiled with a smile on his face: "I know. Mother-in-law, I want to find a place where I can practice faster so that I can take the county examination again and become a divine fetus again. I'm going to take the exam..."

Granny Sha interrupted him: "Not having a divine fetus means that you will never be able to cultivate your true energy, which means that you will become a useless person!"

The smile on Chen Shi's face was a little stiff, and he stuttered a little: "I, if I pass the exam, I can get a good job. Grandpa won't have to work out at such an old age. I..."

"It's impossible for you to become a divine fetus again!"

Grandma Sha looked serious and interrupted him again, "The divine fetus is given by the true god outside the sky, not cultivated. The true god gives a blessing. A person only has one chance in his life, and there is no chance of a second time! Xiao Shi, don't do it in vain. Dream!"

Chen Shi looked pale and swayed a little, as if he was unsteady on his feet. He argued: "Mother-in-law, I can definitely build the shrine again! Once I build the shrine, the true God in the sky will see me working so hard and diligently, and maybe he will bless me again. Give me……"

Grandma Sha shook her head and said coldly: "It's absolutely impossible. Give up this delusion. Xiao Shi, it's good to be an ordinary person in this life. Go home."

Chen Shi was extremely disappointed and walked out with his head lowered.

Granny Sha shook her head: "Silly boy, you still think you can restore the divine fetus..."

She sighed. Chen Shi once amazed the world, but it was a pity that Chen Shi was taken away from the divine fetus.

Today's Chen Shi is just a useless person who cannot practice cultivation.

After a while, Grandma Sha walked out of the yard and couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw Chen Shi sitting on the stone steps outside her house and did not go home.

"Xiao Shi, why don't you go back?" Granny Sha asked.

"Mother-in-law, I want to grow up quickly and don't want grandpa to worry about me."

Chen Shi raised his head and looked at the ground, "I don't want my grandpa to still be working around at such an old age. I don't want him to become what he is now because of me. I just want to be capable and take good care of grandpa. I don't want my grandpa to be so tired at such an old age." , I want grandpa to enjoy happiness..."

When Grandma Sha heard this, she couldn't bear it and said, "If you want to know about this place, you can, but you have to help Grandma do something."

Chen Shi became energetic, wiped away his tears quickly, and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, just say it!"

Granny Sha smiled and said: "I lost something in the Wangchuan River in my early years. This treasure is my favorite. Over the years, I have not thought about food and drink, and I have always been thinking about it. Please help me go to the Wangchuan River. Fish it out and I'll tell you where the temple is."

Chen Shi hesitated.

Grandma Sha sneered: "Are you afraid? If you are afraid, then go back and be an ordinary person!"

Chen Shi gritted his teeth suddenly, raised his head and said, "I did it!"

He stretched his neck, exposing the most vulnerable part of his neck, and said, "Mother-in-law, kill me, and I'll go to the Wangchuan River to get you something! You move faster, I'm a little afraid of the pain."

Grandma Sha was both angry and funny, and she was also a little touched.

"I thought he was afraid, but I didn't expect that the reason why he hesitated was that he felt that he had to die before he could go to Wangchuan River. There is great terror between life and death. He was willing to die in order to rebuild the divine womb. His Taoist heart is so strong that the world It’s rare to say that he will really achieve something in the future.”

Grandma Sha thought of this and said with a smile: "Why do you need to die to go to the Wangchuan River? If you can only go to the Wangchuan River after death, wouldn't it be ruining my reputation, grandma? Don't worry, you don't have to die."

Chen Shi was surprised and happy.

He had indeed gone through a great psychological struggle just now before he decided to die in the Wangchuan River. Unexpectedly, he could enter the Wangchuan River alive!

Grandma Sha went into the house, took out an iron chain weighing more than thirty kilograms, and tied it to Chen Shi.

During this time, Chen Shi was getting stronger and stronger, and he didn't feel heavy at all.

"It's not easy to go to the Wangchuan River. This river is the river of the dead in the underworld. After a person dies, the ghosts will come to the underworld, take away the ghosts who are nostalgic for the underworld, and then use the boat to enter the underworld through the Wangchuan River. ”

Grandma Sha took another bundle of hemp rope, which was dozens of feet long and very strong. There is a big hook tied to the other end of the hemp rope. It is very big and has a sharp tip, like a fishhook, but it probably only weighs more than ten kilograms.

Chen Shi had fished before and had seen fishhooks of all sizes, but he had never seen such a big fishhook. He wondered: "With such a big fishhook, how big a fish will my mother-in-law catch? And with such a big hook, the bait I’m afraid it’s also very big, right?”

Grandma Sha walked out of the village carrying a fishhook and hemp rope on her back, and Chen Shi quickly followed.

Although this little old woman was very old, her steps were light and Chen Shi had to use all his strength to keep up.

The two walked for more than ten miles and came to the mouth of the Yudai River. The Yudai River merged into the Dejiang River here. The water of the Dejiang River was turbulent and the current was fast. They went smoothly down the river and only two hundred miles away was the mouth of the sea.

"All the rivers flowing in the world are connected to the Wangchuan River, so you can enter the Wangchuan River through these rivers."

Granny Sha chose a big tree by the river, tied the rope to the tree, and said, "It is easy to let ghosts enter Wangchuan, but to let living people enter Wangchuan, it requires some means."

She grabbed the fishhook, her dim old eyes flashed with a cunning light, and smiled, "There is a big fish in this river that can swim in the world of yin and yang. It is called Gun. Gun likes to eat people. When Gun eats people, it swallows If you set the fishhook and it hurts Gun, he will escape into the underworld and enter the Wangchuan River."

Chen Shi's heart suddenly thought: "Mother-in-law, did the fishhook go in from my mouth and come out from my chin?"

He knew he was the bait.

Granny Sha shook her head.

Chen Shi looked pale: "It came out of the stomach?"

Granny Sha came behind him, put the ridiculously big fishhook through the iron chains, and said with a smile: "Do you think I passed you through like an earthworm? If I did this, your grandfather wouldn't find you. I’m desperate?”

Chen Shi felt relieved and asked, "What did my mother-in-law throw into the Wangchuan River?"

Grandma Sha's eyes flickered: "It's a copper lamp with a handle. The light isn't very bright, but you can see it from a distance."

Chen Shi wondered: "When did your mother-in-law lose it?"

"Nine years."

"The copper lamp that was lost nine years ago? Why haven't you looked for it before?"

Chen Shi became more and more puzzled and asked, "Where did you lose it? Can you find the lamp if you get into the water from here?"

Granny Sha's eyes were a little evasive and she shouted: "What are you talking about? Are you going or not?"

"Go! Of course!"

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment and then said, "After I am eaten by a big fish, how can I get out of the fish's mouth?"

"How do I know? I've never been eaten."

Granny Sha became more and more guilty and said, "You will know when you go down. Don't worry, if you find the lamp, just pull the hemp rope hard. I will be able to sense your movement while holding the hemp rope on the shore. Just take back the hemp rope and you'll be fine!"

Chen Shi asked: "I have another question. Has my mother-in-law tried this treasure hunting method before?"

"Of course I tried!"

Grandma Sha smiled all over her face and urged, "Go back quickly, so your grandpa won't worry!"

Chen Shi entered the water cautiously, not because he was timid, but because he always felt that using himself as bait to catch a big fish that could go to the Forgotten River in the underworld, and then go hunting for treasure in the river, was a bit unreliable.

The current in the Dejiang River was turbulent, and it was as if there were more than a dozen people pushing him, making it difficult for him to stand still.

Chen Shi looked towards the river and saw large and small whirlpools going down the water. It was obvious that the water was more violent in the deep water!

"Go deeper into the water and explore again!" Granny Sha urged from the shore.

Chen Shi said loudly: "Mother-in-law, if I can't find it, you have to tell me where the temple is!"

Granny Sha agreed repeatedly.

Chen Shi continued to walk into the deep water, dragging dozens of kilograms of iron chains and fishhooks on him, which made him worry that he would not be able to swim. If you were drowned in the river...

"My mother-in-law will also summon spirits for me, but she won't die anyway!"

Chen Shi became more courageous and went deeper and deeper.

Grandma Sha couldn't help but feel excited when she saw him entering the water. She murmured in her heart: "The ancient books describe this method, using people to catch the squid that travels between the realms of Yin and Yang, but the book doesn't say how people can catch it." Only then can it come out of the fish’s mouth.”

She was uneasy. It was the first time for her that Gun traveled between the Yin and Yang worlds and used human beings as bait to catch Gun.

She was not sure whether it would succeed.

Suddenly, Chen Shi stepped on the air and sank into the water, which made Granny Sha's heart tighten!

But the next moment, Chen Shi emerged from the water again.

After this period of training, his body is much stronger than before. If he had dozens of kilograms of weight tied to his body before, he would have been dragged to the bottom of the water and unable to move. But now he can actually swim out of the water with ease.

Grandma Sha breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, there was a loud popping sound in the river, and the river stirred up a wave of two or three feet high. A huge tail flashed from the water in the wave. The blue-black scales reflected the rays of the sun, and they were glowing. With a texture like gold and iron!

That fanned tail looks much bigger than the fishing boat in the river!

"So big?" Grandma Sha couldn't help but be stunned.

Chen Shi also heard the sound and hurriedly looked up. He could only see the white water, but he couldn't see what was moving on the surface of the river.

He was a little panicked when he heard Granny Sha's voice coming from the river bank: "I saw a big gun! Swim further into the deep water and lure it to eat you!"

Chen Shi said loudly: "Mother-in-law, where is Gun? I can't see it!"

Grandma Sha looked into the river, and saw waves rising in the fast water, as if there was some huge thing speeding under the water. Vaguely, she saw a head under the water that was bigger than a house. It opened its mouth, and there was actually something in it. There are two rows of sharp steel teeth on the upper and lower sides.

Granny Sha's heart suddenly hit her again. This gun was too big, exceeding her expectation!

Moreover, looking at the teeth of this fish, Chen Shi was probably chewed up by it before it could even eat him!

"I'm afraid the hemp rope in my hand cannot compete with this big fish. If it is pulled lightly by the big gun, it will be torn off! Even if the big gun keeps pulling, it can be cut off with its teeth!"

Thinking of this, she immediately grabbed the hemp rope with both hands, pulled the hemp rope alternately with her left and right hands, and dragged Chen Shi from the water to the shore.

Chen Shi also noticed that there was a huge thing approaching him quickly under the water, and he couldn't help but feel frightened. He immediately swam hard to the shore along the hemp rope.

"Crack!"

There was a loud thunder-like sound from the river. Chen Shi looked back and couldn't help but widen his eyes. He saw a small blue-black fish jumping out of the water. The shadow covered the two suns. It opened its mouth like an abyss and opened its mouth toward the river. Bite it yourself!

"Bang!"

The big gun hit the water, and Granny Sha felt the hemp rope in her hand suddenly pull hard, dragging her figure into the river!

The next moment, the big tree tied with the hemp rope was shaken by the huge force, and the tree body fell towards the river!

Granny Sha tried her best to pull the hemp rope, but before she could stand firm, there was a sudden snap, and the broken rope flew out of the water and hit the shore!

Granny Sha's face was dull, and she saw a big fish swimming quickly in the water. Suddenly, a blue light burst out from the water, and the big fish disappeared!

"It's over, it's over..."

Granny Sha's forehead was covered in cold sweat, her body was trembling, and she took back the remaining hemp rope with a trembling voice. She saw that the place where the hemp rope was broken was extremely flat, and it should have been cut off by Gun's teeth.

"Xiao Shi was probably bitten to pieces by Big Gun. Even if I know how to summon spirits, I can't bring him back to life... How should I explain to Old Chentou?"
