On the Avenue

Chen Shi's eyes met Zhuang Wujiu's. Zhuang Wujiu smiled at him and took Chen Shi's file from Lord Guangxiao.

Chen Shi withdrew his gaze and walked out of the Hanlin Academy. "Who is this Zhuang Wu Jiu?"

His heart couldn't calm down for a while. Zhuang Wu Jiu only said a few words to him, but he revealed a lot of information!

First, Zhuang Wu Jiu met Chen Shi eleven years ago!

Second, when Zhuang Wu Jiu saw Chen Shi, Chen Shi’s innate Tao fetus was still there, and Chen Shi was not dead yet!

Third, Zhuang Wujiu knew that Chen Shi’s innate Tao fetus was cut off and fell into death! Fourth, Zhuang Wujiu’s status is above that of Heavenly Listener!

The previous three points indicate that Zhuang Wujiu most likely knows who took away Chen Shi’s innate Tao fetus!

It's even possible that this person is Zhuang Wu Jiu! His relationship with Tian Ting Zhe is also intriguing.

Tian Ting Zhe is extremely mysterious, like a person from another world.

Although they also live in Xiniu Xinzhou and look like humans, they are incompatible with normal people.

Their whereabouts are mysterious and their living habits are a mystery. No one has even seen them eating, sleeping, peeing or defecating!

It’s like they don’t need these features! But they can be seen everywhere.

There are often Sky Listeners around the mansions of some officials. They float in the air with their big ears, hang upside down on trees, squat on roof ridges, and stand in the crowd, listening to the target's words and monitoring the target's actions. Record it faithfully.

They will also monitor people they consider dangerous, and there are often such listeners around Chen Shi.

They also show up where events take place and record them. They will even take the initiative to kill some dangerous people they think are a threat to them.

Their information is definitely much more accurate than the information from the Xijing court. They know everything about the world and everything that is happening in Xiniu Xinzhou.

What is even more strange is their ability. Even the lowest-level Tianting apostle can perform magical powers that exceed those of many Juren, and can even be compared with those of many aristocratic families.

They can use their energy and blood to turn into multiple arms. This fighting method is very precious, and there are very few monks who know how to practice it. But they are only used for their own convenience to record.

Their ears can be enlarged at will, and this belongs to the category of the art of creation. Many monks do not have much understanding of the art of creation. Only some evil methods such as the art of animal creation, or the six-foot-long golden body of Buddhism, can change the body. .

The more powerful Deacon Tianting even has abilities similar to those in the realm of ghosts and gods, allowing ears to grow around him to help him monitor.

Where did the Heavenly Listeners come from? Are they real humans or some other creature? To whom are they ordered? Where do they send the information they collect?

Chen Shi had no way of knowing this.

Now that Zhuang Wujiu appeared, he realized that Tian Tingzhe was only ordered by a person like Zhuang Wujiu.

But where did Zhuang Wu Jiu come from?

"However, if Zhuang Wu Jiu wants to get accurate information about me from the Heavenly Listener, he is just dreaming."

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief. There were indeed many Heavenly Listeners outside Chen's residence. When Chen Shi went out on a daily basis, there were indeed Heavenly Listeners around, monitoring his every word and deed. However, what they saw and heard was what Chen Shi allowed them to see and hear.

Because the black pot has always been with Chen Shi, everything Tian Tingzhi sees and hears has been tampered with by the black pot.

Hanlin Academy, Academy.

Zhuang Wu Jiu was sitting upright when suddenly his neck made a clicking sound. In the blink of an eye, heads formed from his neck, and arms emerged from under his sides. He unfolded the file and flipped through it quickly.

He thought he couldn't read it fast enough. A head struggled outwards, and a body grew out of the body. It stood up and separated from the main body.

The other heads followed the same method and came out of the main body. Eyes appeared in the eyebrows, eyes appeared in the palms, and even the tips of the ten fingers had eyes. The eyeballs moved and quickly read Chen Shibu's message.

The Heavenly Listener recorded Chen Shi in a separate volume, recording his daily diet, the people he met, what he said, and what he should be wary of.

No one turned over the file, and the pages were flipped through. Soon Zhuang Wujiu had flipped through a tenth of the file, and frowned slightly. The other three Zhuang Wujiu came over and merged with his body, one by one with their heads. disappeared into his body one after another.

"That's wrong. What Tian Ting Zhe recorded is completely wrong."

Zhuang Wu Jiu raised his hand and the files on the table were instantly burned to ashes.

There are a lot of useful things in Tian Ting Zhe's records, but most of them are false information. It is almost impossible to find the truth among the overwhelming false information. He didn't even know whether these so-called true messages were traps deliberately left by Chen Shi, so it was better not to read them.

"The child scholar is very interesting. People who can receive the innate Tao fetus given by the true god are indeed extraordinary. Even if they don't have the Tao fetus, they are definitely ordinary."

Zhuang Wu Jiu praised him and said in a low voice, "I really want to know how strong you would be if you had the Tao Embryo and could survive until now. I really want to see you again, but business matters are more important."

When Chen Shi returned to the Chen Mansion, Zhang You was already waiting in front of the Chen Mansion, and the black pot was lying under the wooden cart next to him.

Zhang Youxiao asked, "Master Xiao Chen, have you seen Zhuang Wu Jiu yet?"

Chen Shi glanced at Heiguo in surprise and asked, "How does Master Xiao Zhang know that I will see him?"

"Because I have met him in advance."

Zhang You said, "I should have informed you first, but Zhuang Wujiu's background is so powerful that I can only dare to meet you here after you two have met. Moreover, I must use the power of the black pot to deceive Tiantingzhe." Cognition.”

Chen Shi raised his hand and invited him to come into the house for a detailed discussion. He smiled and said, "Does Mr. Xiao Zhang know who is the scapegoat?"

Zhang You said with a smile: "A few days ago, my ancestor was in Xijing. He noticed that there was a mysterious master around Master Xiao Chen. He tried to change the perceptions of the people around him, so he knew that it was the scapegoat. As for going to the Chen Mansion to discuss it in detail, there is no need. Well, the Chen family has been infiltrated into a sieve by all the major families, so it is better to talk in the street. "

He hesitated and said: "I can't tell you much. I will tell you whatever I can. Eleven years ago, my former sect leader of the Zhang family was awakened by someone and heard the news that the innate Taoist fetus was born, so he took the young man with him When I was eight years old, I went straight to Xinxiang County.”

Chen Shi's body trembled slightly and he couldn't help but shudder, knowing what he was going to say. Black Guo also suddenly became energetic. He climbed out from under the car and came to the street. He looked around vigilantly to beware of eavesdropping.

"The Zhang family is in the 50th province of Xiniu Xinzhou. They have influence and spies everywhere. Therefore, the Zhang family knew about the innate Tao fetus given by the true god right away."

Zhang You stood by the wall, recalling the past, and said, "Because the matter was so important, the elders of the clan awakened the former sect leader. At that time, I was already being trained as the next generation sect leader, because when I was eight years old, I obtained the first-grade divine fetus, Purple The jade divine fetus. But all the elders in the clan believed that the innate Tao fetus would not last long after being cut off, so the former sect leader had to take me there. After I arrived in Xinxiang County, I found that I was being taken away by my elders. There are not a few children who come here.”

He spoke eloquently and recounted his memories of that incident in Xinxiang County.

At that time, he was only eight years old and had no idea what the innate Taoist embryo that everyone was grabbing meant. He didn't know anyone and didn't know where the other children came from, but the former sect master was very familiar with the elders behind these children. He would make a few jokes when they met, and everyone laughed and joked with each other.

Now that I think about it, those children must also be the seedlings that other aristocratic families attach great importance to. They were brought to Xinxiang County by the patriarchal figures in the clan, trying to seize the innate Tao fetuses and transplant them on the spot.

"Although I can't remember exactly what happened at that time, I can be sure that the Thirteenth Family basically had a hand in it."

Zhang You said, "In addition to the Thirteenth Family, the former sect leader also respected a child very much. He was the young master when he was young, and the former sect master also called him the son."

Chen Shi raised his eyebrows. The young master also participated in the competition?

"Young Master is a little older than me. He is already twelve or thirteen years old. He is about the same age as you are now."

Zhang You said, "In addition to the young master, the former sect master also respected a few people in weird clothes and talked and laughed with them. The adults talked, and we children gathered together to play. We were all underage at that time and had no good intentions. , so we had a lot of fun. As for the fights between adults, we don’t care about each other, even if it’s our opponent.”

Chen Shi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Young master once said that he knows who took away the innate Tao fetus. Could it be that this person is Zhuang Wujiu?"

Zhang You hesitated, shook his head and said: "I don't know. Even my former sect leader of the Zhang family doesn't know who got the innate Tao fetus. He was injured in that fight and fled back to the Zhang family in embarrassment with me. In the battle of Xinxiang, he died. Too many people died, some of them were masters of masters. Many smaller aristocratic families also came to fight for it, and all the elites of the aristocratic families were eliminated. I was just a child in the Divine Embryo Realm at that time, and I didn't understand many things. But Zhuang Wujiu told me. In short, he said, he came from Desperate Slope."

Chen Shi's heart beat violently twice.

The word "Despair Slope" was once mentioned to him by Creator Xiaowu.

The creator Xiaowu threatened the thirteenth family with the lives of countless people in Xijing, defeated the ancestors of the thirteenth family, and forced Li Yiran, the ancestor of the Li family, and Li Qianfeng, the ancestor, to tell him who killed Chen Shi and cut off the innate Tao fetus. .

At that time, the ancestor of the Thirteenth Family told the creator Xiaowu that the person who killed Chen Shi and took away the Tao Fetus must be related to Despair Slope.

After that, Creator Xiaowu left and has not been heard from since.

And this Zhuang Wujiu is actually a visitor from Despair Slope!

"At that time, the people from Despair Po brought not only Zhuang Wujiu, but also two other children, a boy and a girl. However, I only played with Zhuang Wujiu, Young Master and others, and I couldn't play with them. No. Know their names."

Zhang You said, "Since then, I separated from Zhuang Wujiu, and the young master also left the Ren family and went to Prince Zheng's Mansion in the bathing capital. Later I heard that a drastic change broke out in Xijing, and many people died. Only then did I know that your grandfather Fight to Xijing. Master Xiao Chen, that’s all I can tell you.”

Chen Shi took a deep look at him and said, "What about the Heavenly Listeners? Brother Zhang should know something about the Heavenly Listeners, right? I just saw Lord Guangxiao among the Heavenly Listeners kneeling down to Zhuang Wujiu."

Zhang You hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard from the elders in the clan that the origins of the Heavenly Listeners are extremely ancient. Not long after the people of the Ming Dynasty set foot on Xiniu Xinzhou, the Heavenly Listeners appeared. They monitored the people of the Ming Dynasty. Every move records the words and deeds of the people of the Ming Dynasty."

Chen Shi lost his voice and said: "They are not human beings?" Zhang You hesitated for a moment and said: "Maybe they are not the same kind of human beings as us. The listeners these days may also be from Despair Slope and follow the orders of Despair Slope. Mr. Xiao Chen, I It's time to go."

He must know something else, but he couldn't tell Chen Shi, and Chen Shi didn't want to force it.

"Brother Zhang, why are you helping me?" Chen Shi asked.

Zhang You smiled and said, "Maybe it's because my Zhang family owed you back then."

Chen Shi looked into his eyes. Zhang You hesitated and decided to tell the truth, saying: "I don't think the Zhang family owes you anything, because my Zhang family did not get your innate Tao fetus. The reason why I tell you this is because You helped me in the Buddhist hell, and not only saved me as a person, but also saved my Taoist heart. To be honest, I really wanted to roast Yu Lingzi and eat it..."

He was silent for a moment and said: "But I know that as long as I eat people, my Taoist heart will fall into the Buddhist hell for the rest of my life. Even if I escape, my Taoist heart will sink into the hell and I will not be able to struggle out!" It was you who saved me."

"When I was eight years old, I knew about you. I knew that there was a child scholar who was number one in the fifty provinces. He was extremely talented, and I also knew about your death. Later, I heard that you were resurrected and came to attend this spring festival, so I wanted to meet him. Let me see you and see how extraordinary you are. The true God will give you a better divine fetus. I originally had the intention of competing, but after you saved me, I no longer have such thoughts."

"As the next generation heir of the Zhang family, I will definitely take control of the clan in the future. I must consider the interests of the Zhang family, and may even be hostile to you. Therefore, while I am still young and still have the spirit of scholarly business, I will not be interested in your salvation. To repay him is to show his sincerity."

When he said this, he paused for a moment and said, "If I become your enemy in the future, Mr. Xiao Chen must remember that for the sake of my clan at that time, I would never hold back just because you saved me and my Taoist heart. I hope. Don't show mercy."

He bowed his head to the ground.

Chen Shi returned the courtesy, and when he stood up, Zhang You had already turned around and left.

Chen Shi watched him go away and said with a smile: "The scapegoat, this guy is a bit interesting. I suddenly remembered that when I led the people to the Nine Halls to kill the young master, he stood behind me and supported me. It turns out that he is a descendant of the aristocratic family. , there are good people besides Li Tianqing, let’s go and spy on Zhuang Wu Jiu and see what this guy wants to do!”

He became interested and immediately went to the Hanlin Academy with the black pot. However, after arriving at the Hanlin Academy, he did not find Zhuang Wujiu. Chen Shi was surprised. At this time, Heiguo stared at the ground and barked twice.

"Zhuang Wu Jiu is in the underworld? What is he doing in the underworld?"

Chen Shi was surprised. The black pot made a sudden move, and a sinister wind suddenly rose, taking him down to the underworld!
