On the Avenue

Chen Tang looked at the scene of Chen Shi bidding farewell to a group of scholars on Qianyang Street, and felt some inexplicable feelings in his heart.

This scene happened naturally, unlike the young master who did it deliberately.

"These people were deliberately dispersed by the court because they were afraid that if they gathered around Xiao Shi, they would become an uncontrollable force." He said silently in his heart.

However, the court did not notice that although Tian Yue'e and others were dispersed, they were also members of the Hongshan Hall Talisman Master Association. They went to serve as officials in the fifty provinces of Xiniu Xinzhou, and they would inevitably bring Hongshan Hall to the Established everywhere.

At that time, Hongshan Hall Talisman Masters will bloom all over the place, and they will no longer be a small force in a corner, but will suddenly grow to an incredible extent!

"The Hubu Yamen has removed me. I am afraid that the manpower I originally left in the Hubu Yamen will be replaced by them one by one."

Chen Tang suddenly thought that these officials were all promoted by him, and they were both prosperous and devastated by him. If he fell, these officials would not be able to continue their work, so it would be better to let them work in Hongshan Hall.

As Hongshan Hall expands, there will inevitably be many vacancies, which is suitable for accommodating these people.

"And I, Doctor Ronglu, if I have nothing to do, I can go to Hongshan Hall to do something, so as not to sit around at home and make Xiao Shi annoyed when he sees me." He thought to himself.

Thinking of this, he immediately left the Chen Mansion and went to Gaoshan County. He met the Jade Hall Master of Yutian City and told him his plan.

Yutiancheng was surprised and happy, and said repeatedly: "Master Chen is willing to join our Hongshan Hall. The whole Hongshan Hall is naturally full of glory. You are welcome!"

The two chatted in detail, and Chen Tang talked about his idea of ​​introducing the small officials working in the household department into Hongshan Hall, and Hongshan Hall would set up halls in fifty provinces.

Yu Tiancheng's eyes shone, and the more he chatted with him, the more speculative he became. He couldn't help but said: "It's great that Mr. Lao can come to Hongshan Hall! With Mr. Lao's help, Hongshan Hall will definitely have a bright future! Dare I ask Mr. Lao, what is the status in Heaven? What code name?”

"What?" Chen Tang didn't hear clearly.

Yutiancheng asked: "What is the code name of the boss in Heaven?" Chen Tang was confused: "What Heaven?"

Only then did Yutiancheng know that Chen Tang didn't know about Tianting, so he told the origin of Tianting.

Chen Tang was extremely surprised and felt a little sad, and said: "You mean, my father established the Heavenly Court? After my father passed away, he passed it on to my son. And neither my father nor my son told me about it?" "

Yutiancheng knew that he had caused trouble and thought to himself: "It turns out that the boss is an outsider..."

Chen Tang composed himself and said: "What is my father's code name in heaven? What is my son's code name in heaven?"

Yutiancheng said cautiously: "Your Majesty's code name is Coach, and your Young Master's code name is True King." Chen Tang was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Kill the Nine Clans."

Seeing that his mood was stable, Yutiancheng felt relieved.

Chen Shi returned home and did not find Chen Tang. At this time, Guo Daozi and Yu Lingzi came to visit. They were disciples of the Taoist Holy Land Tianshi Mansion and Taihua Qing Palace respectively. After this examination, they did not participate in the battle for the number one scholar. They were awarded Jinshi and took up posts in the Daolu Department. An idle job.

The two planned to go back to their respective sects to practice, so they came to say goodbye.

Chen Shi said goodbye to the two of them, feeling a little melancholy in his heart. This bustling Beijing would definitely become a lot deserted because of the departure of these people.

At this time, he saw a monk standing opposite the Chen Mansion, with a beautiful girl beside him. She was crossing her toes, blowing on the monk's head and wiping the dust on the monk's shiny head with her sleeves.

The monk remained motionless until the girl polished it, then he bowed to Chen Shi and said, "Donor Chen, Uncle Ying and I are here to say goodbye to the benefactor."

Chen Shi looked at the girl next to Monk Wuchen in surprise. Ying Rumeng smiled at him. Chen Shi was filled with demons and then returned to normal.

He sent Monk Wuchen to the post house and said, "Does Monk have an official position in the Senglu Department this time?"

Monk Wuchen said: "If you are admitted to the post of lecturer, you will be an official of the eighth rank. From now on, the young monk will beg for alms everywhere and place orders in temples everywhere without accepting any money for incense. In Dabaoguo Temple, you can also go one step further. ”

He smiled, very innocently.

"You have gained something from going down the mountain this time, which is indeed good."

Chen Shi's eyes fell on Ying Rumeng and said with a smile, "Where is the witch? What does the witch gain?"

Ying Rumeng said with a smile: "On this trip to Xijing, I was originally attracted by the demonic nature of this place. After the Battle of the Number One Scholar, the demonic nature of Xijing was greatly reduced, and it was no longer a holy place for me to practice. But I gained It’s very prosperous. Now I’m making great progress, reaching adulthood is just around the corner, and becoming a Buddha is not far away.”

Chen Shi asked doubtfully: "Can a demon also become a Buddha? I'm stupid, can I ask for advice?"

Ying Rumeng said: "A demon can become a Buddha. We cannot blame the demon, but we have to ask about the world. If the world is peaceful and the demon cannot absorb the slightest bit of demonic energy and demonic nature in the human world, how can he become a Buddha? Donor Chen, please stay."

Chen Shi stopped and watched them walk into the post.

On his way home, he heard a respectful voice: "Master Xiao Chen, can you use the walking path to talk?"

Chen Shi looked at it with awe in his heart. He saw Qin Su, Tang Baling, Dou Qi, Fang Tan and other Fu Zhengge masters who followed the young master standing on the street, waiting for him.

In front of the crowd was a man in his forties or fifties, dressed in white and standing out from the crowd. This is the person who just spoke.

"Xiaoshui Xuanzhi was the long history of Fuzheng Pavilion." The man in white came over and bowed.

Chen Shi returned the courtesy and said: "I have heard of Shui Changshi's name for a long time. How old is Shui Changshi this year?"

Shui Xuanzhi said: "Fifty-one."

Chen Shi couldn't help but be moved: "I have cultivated to the Mahayana realm at the age of fifty-one, and I have a bright future as a water chief!"

Shui Xuanzhi walked and talked with him, shaking his head and saying: "Master Xiao Chen, what you said is wrong. Shui has reached the top of the Mahayana realm in cultivation, and it will be difficult to make any progress in this life."

As the two walked towards the inner city of Xijing, Chen Shi noticed that Qin Su, Dou Qi and others were also following behind them.

"We don't mean any harm."

Shui Xuanzhi said, "Your Excellency killed the young master during the palace examination because the young master is not as good as others. Now that the young master is dead, the Fuzheng Pavilion has been abolished, and everything about the young master has fallen apart. Even if we are brave enough, we dare not fight with him. The imperial court opposes. A person's great power is just a drop in the ocean."

Chen Shi's eyes flashed, he glanced back at Dou Qi and others, and said with a smile: "Then why do you come to see me?"

"Find a career!"

Shui Xuanzhi stopped, looked at Chen Shi with sharp eyes, and said with great sincerity, "Mr. Xiao Chen, I didn't realize that I had no talent, so I took refuge in the young master and worked hard for the young master, so that I could put my talents to use and bring glory to the world. Scholars are talented and can be put to good use! Although Fu Zhengge is no longer here, but our ambition is still there, if Mr. Xiao Chen kills the young master, then Mr. Xiao Chen is the young master! "

His eyes were eager and even fanatical: "Master Xiao Chen is by no means a mere top scholar. You have aspirations for the world. You are ambitious and determined to change the world! You are our young master! Fuzheng Pavilion is gone, but our hearts are still there. , as long as you nod, we people will wholeheartedly assist you, help you have a smooth career, and even ascend to a high position will be a matter of course!" Chen Shi asked for advice: "How to ascend to a high position?"

"As long as Mr. Chen cooperates and says his surname is Zhu, Mr. Chen will say that you are an adopted son. If we continue to build momentum and gain support from the Thirteenth Family, wouldn't it be logical to ascend the throne and become the true king?"

Shui Xuanzhi was quite excited and said, "The changes in the sky are becoming more and more intense. This is the time for heroes to rise! Xiniu Xinzhou has not had a true king for more than 6,000 years. It is time to reappear in the era of true kings! In the era of true kings, Everything is better. In the era of true kings, people live and work in peace and contentment. In the era of true kings, there are immortals! Mahayana is no longer the limit of realm!"

Chen Shi looked calm and interrupted: "Shui Changshi, do you know why I killed the young master?"

Shui Xuanzhi was slightly startled and said: "In order to ascend to the throne, you must get rid of the young master, because the young master is your competitor!"

Chen Shi was quite disappointed, shook his head and said: "I killed the young master because I felt the same way for the children who were persecuted by the young master, because I saw what you did in the Taipingmen, and because I saw the evil deeds you did in the Tianmu Society. I will go I’ve been to Gongzhou and Yudu, I know what you did.”

Shui Xuanzhi frowned and said earnestly: "For the sake of righteousness, for the great cause, and for the people of Li to live a better life in the future without having to worry or be tortured by evil spirits, we need a lot of money, a lot of power, and sacrifices! These sacrifices , is necessary!”

"Shuizhang Shi, there is no difference between you and the Young Master, because you are the Young Master."

Chen Shi looked back at everyone and said, "You are all young men. But I am not. Do you know that you scare me?"

"I'm afraid that you'll cut off my divine fetus, and you'll say it's a righteous act, and you must sacrifice it. I'm afraid that you'll kidnap me, cut off my knees, cut off my arms, and make me beg. And you'll say it's... A necessary sacrifice!

"I'm afraid that you will put me in a cage and let me go to the underworld to secretly pick white lotus flowers, and I may be eaten by ghosts and gods at any time! I'm afraid that you will buy girls and force them to go to brothels to sell sex and say that this is a necessary sacrifice! Do you know water? Chang Shi, it’s me who’s afraid of you, not you who’re afraid of me! I’m so scared, even in my dreams!”

He paused and continued: "So Shui Changshi, I must kill you. Now I can't beat you, I can't defeat you, so I talk to you calmly. But in the future, I will definitely kill you. You should Hide, while I’m not strong enough now, hide as far away as possible.”

He could not hide his murderous intention in his words: "But don't worry, if you hide in the countryside, I will find you in the countryside and kill you.

“You hide in the rich and powerful’s homes, and I will go to the rich and powerful’s and kill you.

"You hide in the latrine, and I will press your heads into the latrine and kill you. "You hide in the rat hole, and I will find the rat hole, kill you, and let the rats eat up your flesh and blood. "

Shui Xuanzhi clenched his fists, and a faint murderous aura overflowed.

Chen Shi didn't take it seriously and said leisurely: "Shui Changshi, you have done too much evil in the name of righteousness. You are brave enough to sacrifice others, but you dare not sacrifice yourself."

The corners of Shui Xuanzhi's eyes twitched, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Do you know that I am in the Mahayana realm, and I only need one thought to kill you!"

Chen Shi said calmly: "Kill the top scholar in Jinke and fight against the imperial court? If you have the courage, you can do it now. There is no difference between you and the young master and other idle people. Hide like a mouse until I Go find you and kill you."

Shui Xuanzhi's hands were trembling and his expression was uncertain.

At this time, the official doctor Xiang Yunfei passed by the adults. When he saw them, he couldn't help frowning and scolded: "Fuzheng Pavilion has already dispersed, and the young master is dead. What are you still gathering here for? Get out of here." ! Everybody stand down!”

He stepped forward and scolded Shui Xuanzhi.

Shui Xuanzhi saw the official uniform on his body, bowed slightly and stepped back.

Xiang Yunfei grabbed Chen Shi's wrist and walked towards the inner city, whispering: "What are you talking to these desperadoes? Don't give up!"

Chen Shi looked back at Shui Xuanzhi and other people who were assisting the main pavilion, and said with a smile: "They do great things but cherish their lives, pursue small profits and forget the great righteousness. They think they are heroes, but in fact they have great ambitions and few talents, and they are no doubt idiots. These people can't achieve anything like the young master." They dare not harm me."

Xiang Yunfei said angrily: "There's no guarantee of that! Maybe there really is a stupid young man! How can you make fun of your own life when others are dying? From now on, you should avoid this kind of thing if you can."

He took Chen Shi to the inner city, then let go of Chen Shi's hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "You killed the young master and ruined the affairs of countless people. Many people want your life! These days, you are the most important person." It’s better not to show up! I’ll take you back to Chen Mansion!”

He was walking side by side with Chen Shi, when a soft and timid voice came from behind.

"Lao Xiang, I have found my son."

Xiang Yunfei's body was shaken so hard that he couldn't help but stop and froze in place.

The voice said behind him: "Lao Xiang, I have found Tianyu. Look back."

Xiang Yunfei turned around and looked at him with tears in his eyes.

His true love, Sha Qiutong, held the hand of his son Xiang Tianyu and stood on Qianyang Street. Sha Qiutong looks as beautiful as she did thirty years ago.

Xiang Tianyu seemed not to have grown up, but still looked like a child. "Dad, I'm home."

The child timidly said, "I was lost in the underworld, and I have been thinking about you and my mother all these years..."

Xiang Yunfei's tears fell down like broken beads, and he staggered towards the two of them, holding Granny Sha in one hand and Xiang Tianyu in the other, feeling sad and crying loudly.

As Chen Shi looked at this scene, time seemed to have been interrupted for thirty years. The family had experienced life and death, and then reunited again.

He knew that this reunion was only temporary.

Granny Sha and Mr. Xiang can never go back to thirty years ago.

Hanlin Academy, Zhang You worked as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, and was a seventh-rank official, slightly lower than Chen Shi.

On this day, he welcomed a guest.

Zhang You heard that this person came to visit and hurried to greet him.

The person who came was a handsome young man, about the same age as him, in his twenties. He was dressed simply, in yellow, with no embroidery or decorations. The skirt of his clothes was also the same color, and he did not wear a gold crown on his head, just with a The ribbon held up the hair.

"Zhang You, there is no need to be polite. I heard that you are an official here and came to see you and the young master."

The young man in yellow said, "As soon as I arrived in Xijing, I heard that the young master was deceased. I couldn't help but feel sorry for him."

Zhang You bowed and said: "The young master has indeed passed away. Brother Wu Jiu, I will take you to pay homage to him at his grave."

The young man in yellow nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Zhang You led the way and said, "Brother Wu Jiu, it's rare for you to go out to the mountains. What made you come out of the Despair Slope? You definitely didn't come here simply to visit me and the Young Master."

The young man in yellow said: "The treasure in the underworld of Xijing has matured and is about to be born, so I came to collect it."

They came to the young master's grave. The young man in yellow offered incense and wine to pay homage, and said quietly: "By whose hands did the young master die?"

"The new champion, Chen Shi."

Hearing this, the young man in yellow was surprised and said: "Chen Shi, the child scholar eleven years ago? He has no innate Tao fetus, how come he is resurrected and can kill the young master? How is his strength compared to you?"

Zhang You said: "Only strong, not weak."

The young man in yellow thought for a moment and said, "I should meet him."
