“Xiao Shi, you have the talent of being a top scholar!” Zhu Xiucai praised under the old willow tree.
The county examination was approaching, and Chen Shi began to prepare for the examination and came to him every day to study.
Zhu Xiucai also talked about everything he knew. He thoroughly explained the Analects of Confucius, "Poems", "Books", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and other books. Chen Yong kept it in mind and was extremely grateful. He said: "If I can go to high school in the future, I will set up a memorial tablet for the teacher and worship it every day."
Zhu Xiucai was also very happy and said: "I I will teach you both body and mind, and the examination room is the battlefield where you will shine. You will definitely be in high school.”
Chen Shi returned home and continued to copy "Water and Fire Refining Techniques". The copy was copied by his grandfather from the tomb of the true king. The books were old and the paper had aged.
He has already copied a copy and gave it to Xiao Wangsun.
This copy is for Granny Sha.
How to become a corpse-resolving immortal as recorded in the Water and Fire Refining Technique.
This method is extremely strange and requires death once, either by drowning, burning, or being killed by weapons.
As long as he dies and is buried, he will remain immortal for seven hundred years.
After seven hundred years, the corpse begins to decay. At this time, the beauty of the Water and Fire Refining Technique comes.
The sky will send down real water to drown you. If your bones are not scattered after being washed away, in forty years there will be real fire that burns you.
If the corpse bones can still be preserved in the real fire, the real body will be born from the fire, grow blood, flesh, tendons, internal organs, and refine into an immortal body, which is called the corpse solution immortal.
The Water and Fire Refining Technique is to practice the true water and true fire in advance, and temper the body, so that when you survive the great catastrophe seven hundred years later, you can deal with it calmly, and will not be refined to the point of being destroyed physically and mentally.
"Is this how my grandpa used to refine my body so that my body will not rot?"
Chen Shi put down his pen and began to think.
After the divine fetus was cut off, he must have died and was buried by Chen Tang.
Grandpa rushed home and dug out his body. He found that it was past the first seven days and he could not recall his soul. So he immediately broke into the true king's tomb, took the water and fire refining technique, and used the water and fire refining method to preserve his body.
After that, Grandpa looked for other ways to save Chen Shi.
"It was not until two years ago that my grandfather rescued my soul and let it enter my body. But after all, I have been dead for eight years, and all the previous memories have disappeared, most likely! "
Chen Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, pulled the book in front of him, and read from inside He took out a stone box and jade seal, put them aside, and found a stack of silver notes.
There were five more silver notes, five hundred taels of silver.
After his grandfather was gone, he realized how expensive his medicinal materials were, and the medicinal materials used to cook medicine every day cost five or six taels of silver.
It costs one hundred and sixty taels of silver a month.
The little money I earned before is not enough for medicine.
"No wonder grandpa didn't save any money."
Chen Shi put away the banknotes and took out the jade seal and stone box to play with.
These two things, one came from the Shanjun Temple, and the other was hung on a branch by Prince Xiao and was given to him by Zhu Xiucai.
Strange to say, Chen Shi went home that day and placed the jade seal next to the stone box. The stone box actually gave off a faint blue light.
Chen Yongyong approached the stone box with the jade seal, and saw that the stone box emitted blue light again, flickering on and off, as if it was breathing.
He removed the jade seal, and the blue light gradually disappeared.
He placed the jade seal next to him and tried to open the stone box when it emitted blue light.
However, the stone box was still tightly sealed and showed no signs of being opened by him.
Chen Shi raised his fist and punched it several times, but the stone box didn't move at all.
On the contrary, his fist was sore from the pain.
He rubbed his fists and muttered: "What on earth is the stone box? If it is used to deceive people, how can it be so hard and glow? Is there really something inside? He shook the stone box hard, but there was no sound coming from inside!"
At this time, the sound of a black pot was heard outside, and Chen Shi looked out the window.
But when I saw the sun, I closed my eyes and the moonlight fell down.
It is getting late.
He made a fire to cook medicine for himself, cooked another pot of medicinal materials, burned some meat for the black pot, drank the medicine and soaked it in it.
The black pot adds to the fire beside the pot.
During his grandfather's absence, he gradually got used to living alone with one person and one dog.
The next day, Chen Shi came to Gangzi Village and knocked on Granny Sha’s door.
Grandma Sha was surprised, and the alliance asked him to come in and said: I haven't seen you in the past two days. Business at my mother‐in‐law's side has been very good. There was a demonic transformation some time ago, and many people died, and many people came to summon the souls to see their relatives. Xiao Shi came here with the intention of summoning the souls of your grandfather. "?"
Chen Shi hesitated and said: "Is it possible?"
"No!"
Grandma Sha shook her head and said: "Old Chentou is in the underworld in his physical body. If he summons his soul, his whole body will be summoned to the earth. Without Xuanshan's suppression, he is afraid that he will become a demon immediately."
Chen Shi felt sad, then smiled and said: "I came here to give a book to my mother-in-law."
After saying that, he took out the "Water and Fire Refining Technique".
Grandma Sha couldn't help but tremble with excitement when she saw the book. She quickly grabbed it and flipped through a few pages. Then she quickly closed the book with a gloomy expression on her face.
"Did your grandfather ask you to give this book to me?"
Chen Shi nodded.
"What an old man, he's still plotting against me after his death!"
Grandma Sha was furious, "He knew that as long as you send the book, I would have to accept it, and then he would I will be bribed by you. If you are in danger, I will definitely not stay out of it."
She hummed twice and planned to return the book to Chen Shi, but halfway through, she shrank back and hesitated.
Chen Shi smiled and said: "Grandma, even if I didn't have this book, if I was in danger, wouldn't my mother-in-law save me?" Sheep Horn Heavenly Lamp, even if you ask me to fight for you, I will not hesitate."
Chen Shi smiled and said, "Why are you still hesitating, mother-in-law? Just accept this book."
"Accepting it means that I have fallen into the plan of Old Chentou... That's all, accepting it means, what do I care about with the dead?" You look good and you are not as thin as you were a few days ago. You need to eat more. If you are growing up and your family has not enough money, come to your mother-in-law. Although your mother-in-law is not very capable, she can still make you fat!"
Chen Shi said: "I'm going to take the scholar examination. I'm preparing for the exam these days."
Grandma Sha was about to speak when suddenly Hei Guo screamed in the yard, and the scream became louder and louder.
Chen Shi's heart moved slightly and said: "The black pot said something happened and frightened it so much that it stuttered. This must be a big deal."
He hurriedly walked out, and Granny Sha followed him and said in surprise: "Can you still hear the dog barking and stuttering? What is this skill? Teach me."
The two came to the yard, only to see the black pot shouting at the sky.
The two of them looked up and saw double suns in the sky, but in front of the two suns, there was a small crescent moon appearing at some point.
The moon appeared during the day.
Chen Shi and Granny Sha couldn't help but be stunned.
Since ancient times, the sun and the moon have always had a clear division of labor. The sun appears during the day and the moon appears at night.
The rising of the bright moon is the time when evil spirits are active.
And now, the moon actually appears during the day.
The moonlight is weak, especially when there is the sun, and you can hardly feel the moonlight.
But the moonlight really exists, mixed with the sunlight, and affects the world invisibly.
"Grandpa always said that evil spirits are affected by the moon. Now that the moon is out, where is the evil spirit?"
Chen Shi's heart suddenly jumped, "Will evil spirits appear during the day?"
Grandma Sha's face changed drastically, and she said: "Something big has happened, something really big has happened. When the moon comes out in the daytime, could the true god from the sky also send some light?"
The true god of the universe, Shi Xiniu, is the true god of Xinzhou. He remains unchanged throughout the ages and his Taoist heart is unwavering.
Orochi Xuanshan is like the god of Qianyang Mountain.
His state of mind longing for the true God beyond the sky.
Since he has achieved great success, he has been like a true god outside the sky, watching the world near Qianyang Mountain, experiencing the changes in world affairs, and experiencing the joys, sorrows, and joys of the world.
His Taoist heart is gradually improved through this kind of tempering.
Today, he was a little absent-minded.
He originally studied the true gods outside the world, and developed an eternal state of mind, sitting back and watching the changes in the world.
But two months ago, darkness came a quarter of an hour earlier.
He thought this was just a small mistake by the true God. Or it could be that the changes of the True God are too long, only changing once in millions or even tens of millions of years.
So don’t take it to heart.
The Taoist heart fluctuation caused by that change made him eat a roasted pork leg presented by Chen Shijin.
Unexpectedly, in the clear sky and white sun, the moon actually opened its eyes in advance.
Once is not bad, he can also say that the change of the true god is extremely long.
But in just over a month, it changed twice.
The corners of Orochi Xuanshan's eyes twitched, and his mood was ever-changing.
Even the demonic transformation, in which so many people died and even Qianyang Mountain was almost destroyed in the demonic transformation, could not make his Taoist heart fluctuate.
Now, the waves caused by his Taoist heart are like being blown by the wind. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the waves are getting bigger and bigger.
Made him a little anxious and uneasy.
"Did something happen to the true god?"
He thought secretly in his heart.
The appearance of a crescent moon during the day may be just a small mistake for the eternal God of Heaven.
But for all living beings in Xiniu Xinzhou, this is a huge anomaly.
This abnormality will sweep everyone and affect everyone, and no one can stay away.
At the beginning of the abnormality, everything was quiet and peaceful, and most people's lives were no different from the past.
Only the incense in front of the godmothers in various villages is getting more and more prosperous.
Humbling incense, people praying for peace and good weather everywhere.
Chen Shi took advantage of the arrival of the Moon Festival, just like his grandfather, driving a wooden cart and setting up stalls in various villages, mainly selling peach charms and evil-proof charms.
Now is the beginning of the abnormality, even ordinary people have noticed that something is not right.
Hence, Chen Shi's talismans are very popular.
As soon as the stall was set up, all the painted talismans were sold out.
Chen Shi bought a lot of spirit animal meat for Hei Guo for him to enjoy.
Then bleed the black pot and draw more symbols.
"Fortunately, it's just a crescent moon. The moon has not fully opened its eyes. If it had fully opened its eyes, I'm afraid evil spirits would come out during the day."
He thought to himself: "These days, he has heard some rumors about evil spirits during the day, which are very evil. Therefore, when he goes out, even during the day, he will hang peach charms and evil amulets on the wooden cart."
However, he has not encountered any evil spirits yet.
"Master Chen, Master Chen!"
Someone rushed to his talisman stall. She was a woman in her forties, with a thick build and wearing coarse cloth that was convenient for farm work.
He had an apron tied in front of him and was stained with some flour. He must have been kneading dough before. He said anxiously: "Master Chen Fu, my boss was working in the fields and suddenly got possessed by an evil spirit. Master Chen Fu, please help me!" They all asked what was going on.
Chen Shi has never dealt with evil spirits on his own. The time when evil spirits arose in Huangyang Village, it was the Zhao family's Talisman master who secretly killed the boy to refine the lamp oil. It was not an evil spirit.
When killing the filarial worms, he also joined hands with Li Tianqing, and he couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
But then he calmed down.
I am a Talisman Master. Even if I don’t have a divine fetus, I can still draw talismans and spells, and I have fought against evil spirits.
Even if it doesn't work, you can also mix it with black gunpowder to blow up evil spirits.
"Five taels of silver!"
Chen Shidao.
The woman had a troubled look on her face. The price Chen Shi opened was not expensive. Other talisman masters who warded off evil spirits often asked for more than they wanted.
But five taels of silver is a huge amount for her family.
"Fifty taels of silver, our village is rich!"
A clan elder suddenly said.
Evil spirits in the village are not a personal matter, but often affect the whole village.
They collected money from house to house, and soon collected five taels of silver and delivered it to Chen Shi.
Chen Shi quickly followed the woman to the outside of the village, and saw a group of people gathered together in the field. They shouted and wanted to get closer, but they were frightened away by something and there was a lot of shouting.
“Everyone disperse, the Talisman Master is coming!” someone shouted.
The crowd dispersed, and Chen Shi quickly came forward, only to see a man standing in the field, sleeping with his eyes closed, but with his arms raised. Each finger was chewed by something unknown until only the bones were left. The five white bones were spread apart, as if something had grabbed his hand, eaten the fingers and palm, and was eating his forearm.
Most of the flesh and blood of the forearm has been chewed away, exposing the dense white bones.
Chen Shi felt pain just looking at him, but the man still stood and slept soundly.
Suddenly, the man woke up from the pain, his face was twisted, his eyes were horrified, he held his right arm and let out a heart-wrenching cry.
"Save me, save me quickly!"
Then a smile appeared on his face, as if he was sleepy again. He fell asleep standing up with his head tilted. There were still snoring sounds coming from his mouth, and he was sleeping soundly, as if he was having a sweet dream.
His right arm is still raised, as if something is eating his arm with relish, bit by bit, chews off a piece of meat, chews it hard, and smashes his mouth, it seems to be delicious.
The man woke up from the pain again and screamed, "Help."
But the next moment, a smile appeared on his face again, and he slept soundly with his eyes squinted.
The villagers were horrified and hurriedly retreated, not daring to come near.
They couldn't see what was eating the man, and they didn't understand why he could still sleep while he was being eaten, and they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.
Chen Shi could clearly see that there was a thin and tall man in gray standing next to the man. He had furry ears and held the man's arm in one hand. The fingers were slender and covered with gray hair. The hairless areas were very pink.
His back was turned to Chen Shi, and he was chewing on the man's arm with relish.
Whenever the man woke up from pain, a pink flesh-colored tail stretched out from behind the man in gray, raised high, and the tip of the tail rubbed back and forth on the man's head, as if giving him a head massage.
The man will smile happily, forget about eating his own hand, and fall asleep standing up.
The man in gray continued to eat his hands, one ate sweetly, and the other slept soundly.
Chen Shi can see clearly.
But the people around him could not see the man in gray.
At this time, the man in gray stopped eating and slowly turned his head, revealing a mouse-like face and staring at Chen Shi with his bright little eyes.
This is a mouse wearing human clothes, standing like a human, and taller than a human.
“Can you see me?”
The gray-clothed mouse said in surprise.
This chapter is over.
