Heiguo led the boat girl in, and turned around and said: "Woof, woof woof." "That's true, Master Zhuangyuan can't do it without you."
Chen Shi came up ahead, and the boat girl hurriedly stepped forward to greet her. Just as she was about to greet her, Chen Shi was anxious and motioned for her to excuse herself and asked, "Girl, have you rescued my mother's soul?"
The boat girl hesitated and said, "I rescued it, but not completely." Chen Shi was puzzled.
The boat girl said: "After our father and daughter went to the underworld, we immediately ran tens of thousands of miles to find Yuanchen Palace where your daughter's soul was imprisoned. The guard of Yuanchen Palace was not very tight. We sneaked in, injured a few underworld servants, and then rescued your daughter's soul. My father and daughter knew that if they escaped from the underworld, they would never escape, so they immediately returned to the Yang world with your daughter's soul and rushed from the Yang world to Xijing."
Chen Shi Her eyes lit up and she praised: "Smart!"
The boat girl said: "After we come to the underworld, we can take your daughter's soul with us and arrive in Xijing in three days at most. But something happened the night before. I found that we were being followed by something. Something came out of the underworld, hid in the darkness, and kept watching us in the dark. Then there were sinister agents operating at night, stopping us in the north. "
Chen Shi's heart moved slightly. The ice and snow in the north is a place where the sun and moonlight are relatively scarce.
The sun in the sky is the eye of the true God, fixed in space and eternal, so the climate of the four seasons in every place is the same without change.
The north receives less sunshine, so it is severely cold and is a famous bitter cold place.
"Can Yin Chao move in the Yang world?" Chen Shi asked doubtfully.
As far as he knows, ghosts and gods in the underworld rarely move in the Yang world. The two realms of Yin and Yang have their own rules. Creatures in the underworld cannot physically enter the Yang world, while Yin difference often has a physical body.
The boat girl and the boatman are able to appear and disappear in the earthly world because they resurrected their souls through corpses, abandoned their original bodies, and took over the bodies of a drowned father and daughter.
Ship Girl said: "We Yin Chaos are relatively weak among ghosts and gods. We can enter the Yang Realm at night when the Yin Qi is at its strongest and lead the souls of the dead into the underworld. At this time, the two realms of Yin and Yang merge, and it is not troublesome to enter the Yang Realm to collect the souls. Those Yin Chaos took advantage of that time to chase us. However, we were still beaten out of the encirclement on the first night. We planned to cross the northern border at dawn, but it never dawned."
Chen Shi frowned.
Chen Shi's heart moved slightly: "Xiandu? Where is Xiandu?" "The capital is composed of Yuanchen Palace."
The boat girl said, "Yuanchen Palace is where the soul lives. Everyone has a Yuanchen Palace, and the soul lives in Yuanchen Palace. These Yuanchen Palaces form the fairy capital. Death is like a lamp going out. After a person dies, Yuanchen Palace will disappear. In Yuanchen Palace, you will see your three corpses, also called the Three Corpse Gods. Living in three rooms of Yuanchen Palace. We sneaked into the Yuanchen Palace of the Immortal City and rescued the soul of the imperial family. The number one scholar was also suppressed by our father and daughter in his own Yuanchen Palace in the Immortal Capital. "
When she mentioned this, she became less sad and smiled.
Chen Shi was puzzled: "You escaped from the Immortal Capital, traveled millions of miles to the underworld, and then returned to the Immortal Capital? Are you lost?"
The boat girl sighed and said, "My father and I thought so too before, but later we found out that it was not the case."
Chen Shi was even more confused.
Our minds and thoughts made us think that we were still in the earth. When we saw the immortal capital, we knew that we were doomed. My father sent me back to the earth, protected my escape, and helped me break out of the siege. "
She held the half of the pennie in her hand tightly and said, "Master Zhuangyuan, we father and daughter have done our best."
Chen Shi frowned, what kind of terrifying existence could affect the thinking of the boat uncle, father and daughter without them realizing it, and let them enter the underworld without knowing it?
He glanced at Hei Guo. This ability was very similar to Hei Guo's ability. Are there still kin of the Black Cauldron in the underworld?
Chen Shi asked her to rest and recuperate first. The boat girl hesitated and said, "If Master Zhuang Yuan goes to Xiandu to save people, he must call me. My father has fallen in Xiandu, and the children have to save him."
After sending the boat girl away, Chen Shi pondered, and then he realized that Chen Tang was standing not far away, and in the wheelchair was Chen Shi's mother.
"Have you heard everything?" Chen Shi said. Chen Tang nodded lightly.
Chen Shi stepped forward, took the wheelchair from his hand, and said: "These maids are unreliable. One of us has to leave one to take care of my mother, either you stay or I stay. After you showed your strength, Xijing was extremely wary of you. If the Thirteenth Family has the chance to get rid of you, they will definitely do it. Even if they can't get rid of you, they will understand your weaknesses."
Chen Shi's mother is Chen Tang's weakness.
Chen Tang walked with him in the corridor, looking at the Chen Mansion that was being repaired with some reluctance, and said: "You go to the underworld, and I will stay. You take the black pot with you. After you go, I will take you with me immediately. Mom left Xijing. We have been away from Qianyang Mountain for a long time. She must have missed Huangpo Village and the old lady Wuzhu. Hearing this, Chen Shi glanced sideways at him: "Are you willing to give up the glory and wealth of Xijing? Are you willing to give up the official position of Dr. Ronglu?"
"What are you reluctant to give up?"
Chen Tang shook his head and said, "When I entered Xijing, I felt that I was not strong enough. I was practicing in the countryside. I would never be able to find the person who killed you. Even if I found him, I would not be able to take revenge. If I want to search for information and accumulate strength, I must enter the court and become an official. In eleven years, I have achieved this step."
Hundreds of emotions were surging in his heart, and he wanted to talk them out, but when the words came to his lips, he smiled and said: "But now that you are back, what does the glory and wealth of Xijing have to do with me? Besides, I am a little homesick."
The father and son stopped.
Chen Shi said: "The Xijing court may not want you to go back. When you are in Xijing, the dragon will be coiled around you. When you leave Xijing, the dragon will enter the sea, and they will be worried."
Chen Tang said leisurely: "I have a sword and a box, who dares to stop me? You go to the underworld, how can you do it without me?"
Chen Shi snorted: "I didn't live well without you before?"
Chen Tang was unhappy and said: "Chen Shi, I am your biological father after all, you should be more respectful when you speak to me."
"Okay, I understand. You take better care of my mother. "
Chen Shi ordered, "If you don't bring these maids and servants, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of them. Also, don't save those three melons and two dates. When you need to spend money, be willing to spend it. If you don't have any money, I'll give it to you."
Chen Tang lowered his head to find a handy stick.
As the old saying goes, filial sons emerge from under the stick. If a son is unfilial, he must be beaten less.
Upon seeing this, Chen Shi quickly put away the black iron rod and hid it in his small temple.
In the afternoon, Chen Shi came to the Hongshantang branch in Gaoshan County to look for Granny Sha. He was told that Granny Sha and her son had gone to the countryside. Chen Shi went to look for him. Grandma Sha was taking Xiang Tianyu to call for the souls of a family in the countryside. When she saw Chen Shi coming, Xiang Tianyu hurriedly came forward and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Shi!"
"Don't call me brother, call me brother Xiaoshi!"
Grandma Sha smiled, turned to look at Chen Shi, and said with a gloomy face, "Call aunt!"
Chen Shi called aunt, looked at Xiang Tianyu, and was surprised to find that Xiang Tianyu had a body and was no longer a ghost.
It's just that this body is not like the flesh.
Grandma Sha smiled and said, "Tianyu, you go play with Hei Guo while I talk to Xiao Shi."
Xiang Tianyu took the black pot and ran to play.
Chen Shi looked at Xiang Tianyu in the distance and saw Heiguo teaching him how to fly a kite. He still has a childish temperament and is very keen on toys such as windmills and kites.
"Auntie, Tianyu has been trapped in the Buddhist hell for thirty years. He has not been in contact with other people, so his mind is still a child. But he will not always have a child's mind."
Chen Shi glanced at Granny Sha and said, "He Sooner or later, he will grow up. If his body remains the same as that of an eight or nine-year-old, it may not be a good thing."
Grandma Sha was silent for a moment and said, "I don't want him to leave. Our mother and son have been separated for thirty years. I will find a way to let him grow physically."
The voice of Empress Shiji came from the small temple, and she sneered: "I know that after a guy died, his master made him a lotus root body. As a result, the boy never grew up in his life!"
Grandma Sha heard the voice of Empress Shiji and ignored it. , said: "Xiao Shi, why did you come to find me?"
Chen Shi told the truth and said: "I want to go to the underworld and go to the immortal capital to find my mother's soul. Auntie, after all, I am also a wanted criminal in the underworld. Is there any way to avoid being wanted?"
Grandma Sha smiled and said, "I have the method of transforming into a god. I can turn you into a Yin god and enter the underworld."
Chen Shi was a little relieved and said, "Is there any way to avoid the ghosts and gods in the underworld and directly enter the Yuanchen Palace in the immortal capital?"
Granny Sha shook her head and said: "Yuanchen Palace is also called the Palace of Life. Changing the layout of Yuanchen Palace can change your destiny. But it is not easy to enter Yuanchen Palace. Only your soul can enter and others cannot enter. If you can enter at will, it would not be so troublesome to save you back then."
Chen Shi was slightly moved in his heart and asked: "Can my soul enter it?" "If you have cultivated to the state of integration, the soul and the soul are stable, and the soul can enter."
Grandma Sha shook her head and said, "You are in the state of transformation now, and the soul is not strong enough...Wait a minute, you can sacrifice your soul and let me see."
Grandma Sha said: "When you sacrificed the soul, it seemed that you were sacrificing the soul from your own body, but in fact, you were sacrificing the soul from Yuan Chen Palace... Wait a minute, there is something wrong with your soul!"
Grandma Sha let out a light sigh, and tapped her palm gently on the chest of Chen Shi's soul. Chen Shi's soul shook, and he briefly separated from his soul, and then merged into his soul again.
At this moment, Granny Sha couldn't help but be horrified when she saw a soul about one foot long emitting a white light all over its body, as if it were solid.
"There's something wrong with your soul!"
She circled around Chen Shi Yuan Shen for several weeks and said in confusion, "Your soul is too strong. With such a strong soul, your three corpse gods must be terrifyingly strong. When you killed the three corpses, you suffered a lot!"
She sympathized. Looking at Chen Shi: "Why do monks who kill three corpses often get trapped in this realm? It's often because they commit too many sins and kill too many creatures, which makes the three corpse gods too strong and cannot be killed. You have made the three corpse gods so strong in the realm of transformation. When the time comes, the three corpse gods will I’ll kill you.”
Chen Shi smiled and said, “I’m still far away from the realm of three corpses...Wait a minute! Aunt Sha, is there anyone in Yuanchen Palace who is still alive after the owner of Yuanchen Palace dies?”
Chen Shi nodded slightly.
Grandma Sha exclaimed: "Have you really seen it? Where did you see it? Is there really an immortal in this world?"
Chen Shi looked strange: "Hei Guo has a few ghost books, which he got from Yuanchen Palace. When I was in Gongzhou, I cultivated the golden elixir, and saw Hei Guo sneaking into the underworld from under the stove, entering a palace, and fetching it. Ghost book.."
Grandma Sha wondered: "Could it be Heiguo's own Yuanchen Palace?"
Chen Shi shook his head: "How could there be a ghost book in Heiguo's own Yuanchen Palace?"
Grandma Sha thought about it: "Could it be someone else's Yuanchen Palace? The dog went to steal the ghost book from Yuanchen Palace?"
"If there is a soul in Yuanchen Palace, will it be allowed to be stolen by the scapegoat? It can be seen that this Yuanchen Palace is probably ownerless."
Chen Shi said, "So I guess that the owner of Yuanchen Palace has died and left behind these ghost books."
Grandma Sha looked at the dog playing with Xiang Tianyu, her eyes flashed, and said: "When your grandfather brought this dog back from the underworld, I thought it was very weird. But at that time it only had slaps. Big, your grandpa raised it from an early age, so there will definitely be no problem. But now think about it, is it possible that your grandpa was bewitched by it, so he brought it home? In fact, this little thing has been affecting your grandpa's thinking? "
Heiguo's ears moved, he turned his head, grinned, and gave them an innocent smile.
Grandma Sha said: "It's trying to influence me and change my mind. But having said that, Xiao Shi, you have been watching the scapegoat since you were a child. What bad intentions can you have?"
Chen Shi asked doubtfully: "Mother-in-law, is this what you really think?"
Chen Shi glared at Heiguo, confirming that it was causing trouble, and shouted: "Heiguo, come back! Aunt Sha, we are going back!"
Heiguo had no choice but to hand the kite string in his hand to Xiang Tianyu and ran over. Grandma Sha held Xiang Tianyu's hand and waved goodbye to them mechanically.
Chen Shi left Gaoshan County and returned to Xijing, thinking: "The black pot's ability is getting stronger and stronger, but it can bewitch the boatman and his daughter, affect the thinking of ghosts and gods, and even make them fall into the underworld without being noticed. It is stronger than the black pot. If I want to rescue my mother, I have to deal with another black pot... I have to let the black pot improve as soon as possible!"
