Chapter 381 Return to Homeland
"Uncle Yang, you don't suspect that I am the mastermind behind it, do you?" Chen Shi couldn't help but laugh.
Qingyang couldn't help laughing: "Of course I couldn't doubt you. You were only nine years old at that time! What can a nine-year-old child do? Can a nine-year-old child lead a group of natural disasters to rebel?"
Chen Shi was overjoyed: "I am only nine years old, can I still go to the underworld to be the emperor of a group of natural disasters and demons? Which of them is not the best among men?
/>
Who is willing to obey a nine-year-old child? "
"Haha, nine-year-old Demon King!"
Qingyang laughed so hard, "There is no one left?"
Chen Shi laughed so hard that tears flowed down his face, and his nose bubbled: "The blue ghost hand that pinched my heart couldn't be one of my subordinates, right?"
The two of them were rolling on the floor laughing.
Qingyang suddenly stopped laughing, looked at him, and said seriously: "What if, I mean what if, they are really your subordinates, and you are really the Demon King?"
Chen Shi looked serious, and suddenly burst into laughter, and said: "You mean the cyan ghost hands that pinched me to death several times are my subordinates?"
Qingyang The sheep laughed loudly and hit the ground hard, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe: "You were pinched to death by him many times, and Granny Sha was the one who summoned the soul for you! Which subordinate would do such a stupid thing?"
Qingyang stopped laughing and looked serious: "This joke is not funny."
The two looked at each other and couldn't hold it back, so they burst out laughing again.
Qingyang laughed so hard that he almost died, panting: "The one who pinched you to death might be my mother! My mother is also a Qingyang!"
After a long time, the two finally stopped laughing.
Qingyang was lying on the ground, panting, and suddenly said: "Dan Chengzi is in your body. Do you think the other three masters are also in your body?"
He was talking about the fourth generation master Zun Guangxian, the seventh generation master Zun Daocheng, and the sixteenth generation master Jingxu.
At that time, Qingyang, Chen Yindu and Patriarch Qiongyang dug the graves of their ancestors together, and found that the tombs of these three masters were also burial mounds, with no bones in them.
Chen Shizhu sat up suddenly and said, "It is indeed possible."
Qingyang sat up and said: "Of these four leaders, the first three were from the era of the True King. In that era, monks' lifespans were still very long and could live for thousands of years, unlike now, which only lasts for a hundred years. They fake death, and their intentions are very big."
Chen Shi thought about it: "Apart from the four leaders of Taihua Qing Palace, where are the other holy places?"
Qingyang was stunned.
Yes.
Four heads of the Qing Palace in Taihua faked their own death, abandoned their bodies, turned into natural disasters, and hid in the underworld. What about other holy places?
Are the other two holy places of Daomen, Taishang Haoyuan Palace and Tianshi Mansion, so peaceful?
The three holy places of Buddhism, Shuiyue Scenic Spot, Dabaoguo Temple and Bodhi Dojo, do not seem to be peaceful people.
So, will a group of the sect leaders of these holy places also turn into natural disasters and hide in Chen Shi's sea of consciousness?
Qingyang frowned, if those natural disasters are really the masters of the major holy places seeking immortality, then do they still need to exorcise the demons? How to get rid of the devil?
Chen Shi was thoughtful and murmured: "The Thirteen Aristocratic Families are preparing for the upper world as a back-up, and the six holy places of Buddhism and Taoism are preparing for natural disasters as a back-up.
This matter is interesting."
Chen Shi's eyes flashed, thinking of the young man who sacrificed his innate Tao fetus.
Despair—
The celebration of the Return of the Immortal Sword at the Taihua Qing Palace was held as scheduled. People from other major holy places also came and it was very lively. Officials from nearby states and counties also came to celebrate. The most surprising thing was that Yan Xianzhi, the chief minister of the cabinet, also came.
The former leader of Taihua Qing Palace went evil and almost turned into a natural disaster, destroying the Lone Star Province. Everyone kept silent about this matter and only congratulated the Immortal Sword for returning to the mountain.
Chief Assistant Yan Xianzhi also represented the imperial court and greatly encouraged Taoist Chang Ying, without mentioning that he came with the immortal family's most important treasure, Wuying Palace, to eliminate Jinghong. If that heavy treasure were to explode with power, it would probably burn Taihua Qing Palace to the ground as well.
"Sir, Xiao Chen!"
After the greetings, Yan Xianzhi called Chen Shi, with a smile on his face, and said, "Sir, Xiao Chen, long time no see."
Chen Shi saw the courtesy and complimented: "Master Yan is stronger than when I was in Xijing."
Yan Xianzhi smiled and said: "You surnamed Chen are not in Xijing, and I eat more full than before. I heard that Mr. Chen has been slaying demons in Qianyang Mountain these days. How is it going?"
Chen Shi told the truth. Report: "All the demons have been removed from my body."
Yan Xianzhi was visibly relieved, and said with a half-smile, "I heard about this too. You are relieved that the demons have been removed, and the court is also relieved."
Chen Shi frowned and sighed faintly when he thought that there might still be old scheming people from the Six Holy Lands in his body.
Seeing this, Yan Xianzhi understood and said with a smile: "Do you think that after you exorcise the devil, you will lose one of your life-saving talismans? Xiao Chen, you can't think like that. You think, you are the official of the imperial court, who dares to touch you? If you touch you, you will touch the imperial court!"
People are in a happy mood Feeling good, he also spoke much more briskly: "It's just that from now on, you must not be as rough as before. There is no guarantee that someone is not afraid of the court and will kill you because of your high level of cultivation. The court can only help you take care of your funeral. If that person is wanted, you will not survive."
Chen Shi looked sad.
Yan Xianzhi felt refreshed and said: "Also, when you meet someone with a higher rank than you in the future, you should bow your head when you should, and kneel when you should kneel. You are just a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. From a fifth-rank official, the official position is much higher than you. Don't always call others heartless - I am not asking you to kneel to me, and I am just pretending to be a first-rank official. Be energetic and stand up straight!"
Chen Shi cheered up, stood up straight, and said seriously: "Sir, after the official got rid of the demon, he found that there were still several natural disasters lurking in his body. Can the court do you a favor————."
Yan Xianzhi's attitude towards him He was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, you are an official of the imperial court. The imperial court is not obliged to help you, but it does not necessarily mean that we will help you. This has to be discussed in the imperial court. Just wait - wait a minute!"
His expression changed slightly: "How many?"
"Several natural disasters."
Chen Shi was filled with sorrow and said, "Uproot all the demon queens and they will appear."
Yan Xianzhi shuddered and laughed: "Mr. Chen is really good at joking, really good... Changying, Taoist Changying!"
He Leaving Chen Shi behind, he walked straight to Taoist Changying, exchanged greetings with Changying, and said with a smile: "As the chief assistant, I shoulder the heavy responsibility of the fifty states of Xiniu Xinzhou, and it has been some time since I left Xijing. Today's celebration was very good, but it's a pity that I can't stay. Farewell, farewell!"
Taoist Changying was stunned, but did not dare to stop him, and hurriedly sent him off.
Yan Xianzhi left in a hurry as if avoiding the god of plague.
Taoist Changying was puzzled and whispered: "Master Yan waited in Youzhou City for more than ten days before holding the Immortal Sword Returning to the Mountain Ceremony. He could wait for more than ten days, so why didn't he even bother to eat?"
In order to demonstrate the power of the fairy sword, Changying Taoist ordered a black pig spirit to be brought in. The fairy sword was raised and the rays of light swept across. Suddenly, only half of the body of the black pig spirit was left, and it died unexpectedly.
Everyone was amazed.
After the grand meeting, Taoist Changying left the four elders of Taihua to guard the Taoist gate. Together with Patriarch Qiongyang, he brought many accomplished Taoists to Qianyang Mountain. They were preparing to take back the body of Taoist Tianzhen.
However, it is not easy for the real body to enter the underworld safely, but fortunately, the Hongshan Hall Talisman Master Association has a passage into the underworld in Qianyang Mountain.
When living people enter the underworld, their life span will be shortened due to the invasion of yin energy. People who practice Taoism will also have their cultivation damaged due to yin energy, so they cannot stay in the underworld for long.
Chen Shi drew some Yin-hugging talismans and gave them to the Taoist priests. With these talismans, there was no need to worry about being invaded by evil spirits.
Taoist Changying and others entered the underworld from Qianyang Mountain, and then entered Yinshan Mountain through the broken bridge of Hongshan Hall. The Taoists walked down the broken bridge, but they saw a corpse of a thousand-foot-long god hanging on Wuliang Cliff. They couldn't help but feel awe in their hearts. Taoist Changying ordered the Taoists, "Everyone, this is the underworld, and ghosts and gods are everywhere, so be careful."
All the Taoists looked solemn and nodded.
At this moment, a ghost and god hundreds of feet tall came towards him. Taoist Changying looked awe-inspiring, and all the Taoists were secretly on guard, with great fear in their hearts.
There are strong and weak ghosts and gods. The strong ones are comparable to the monks in the Mahayana realm, the weak ones are in the Nascent Soul realm of the Golden Core realm, and even the weak ones, such as Xiao Yaksha and the bull-headed imp, cannot even defeat an older child.
But these ghosts and gods are definitely the masters among masters, and they are extremely numerous.
Especially the dozens of small ghosts and gods among them, which put more pressure on them, making Taoist Chang Ying and others frightened.
"These ghosts and gods are lord-level existences!"
Patriarch Qiongyang quietly mobilized his Void Realm, and the Thunder Powerful Divine Spell was ready to attack at any time. He whispered to Changying, "I once encountered such a ghost and god, which is extremely powerful. Their strength is not as good as you and me, but they are not far apart."
Changying looked solemn.
If there were only two lord-level ghosts and gods, it would not be troublesome for them to deal with them, but there are more than ten ghosts and gods of this level among these ghosts and gods!
Chen Shi smiled and said: "You don't have to worry. These are the ghosts and gods under my command. It's a long way to go to Taoist Tianzhen's Immortal Palace, and some wild ghosts and gods are more dangerous, so I asked them to escort you there."
Chang Ying, Qiong Yang and others were surprised, and Patriarch Qiong Yang lost his voice and said: "The ghosts and gods under your demon?"
Chen Shi said humbly: "Grandma Qiongyang, to be honest, I have a small career in the underworld."
"A small career?"
Qiong Yang blinked, "How small?"
"Every territory you look at is mine." , said, "A large territory that you can't see is also mine. This is the land that I laid down for my grandfather. After grandma Qiongyang dies, she can live happily here with my grandfather. "
"You are really filial."
Qiongyang, with poor eyesight, looked into the distance and murmured, "You burn all your grandfather's love to him, and he will have a place to rest."
When those ghosts and gods came, Taoist Changying was still nervous. When he saw the ghosts and gods, he knelt down on one knee and saluted Chen Shi. Chen Shi waved his hands and kept talking nonsense to prevent them from kneeling down.
Hence, these powerful ghosts and gods did not trouble them and escorted them all the way through the vast Yinshan community.
"This place is called Yinshan, but there was a very famous name before, called Shiwandashan." Chen Shi said.
Qiong Yang was stunned: "The Yin Mountain is understandable, but the Hundred Thousand Mountains should be the geographical location of the Yang Realm."
"A long time ago, this place might have been the Yang Realm. , but a drastic change occurred later, and this place sank into the underworld, and the Yin and Yang worlds merged." Chen Shi's eyes flashed and he said with a smile, "Maybe in the future, the Yang world we live in will also merge with the underworld."
Patriarch Qiongyang was in trance, sighed, and whispered: "How long ago did that happen? I'm afraid I can't see it anymore." Many ghosts and gods escorted them. On the way, they did see many lord-level ghosts and gods, entrenched among the mountains and rivers, commanding large and small ghosts and ghost tribes. Even a famous sect like Taihua Qing Palace would never be able to safely cross Yinshan Mountain without the escort of these ghosts and gods.
They traveled thousands of miles and came to the split mountain. Chains were crisscrossed and intertwined, hanging the Immortal Palace between the two mountains.
Chen Shi asked the ghosts and gods to guard at the foot of the mountain, and led Qiong Yang, Chang Ying and others carefully through the rays of light to the front of the Immortal Palace.
"Innocent Taoist, I am honest and have never broken my promise."
Chen Shi burned incense in front of the Immortal Palace, held the incense and whispered, "I have returned the Zhenwu Evil Sword to Taihua Qingyang Palace. Today, Taoist Chang Ying, the contemporary headmaster of Taihua Qingyang Palace, personally came to welcome the senior home."
The incense curled up into the Immortal Palace.
The fairy light shrouding the portal of the Immortal Palace was slightly turbulent and slowly dispersed to both sides, revealing half of the body of a thin Taoist priest.
Chen Shi turned sideways and signaled to Taoist Changying.
Taoist Changying calmed down, straightened his crown and clothes, and carried incense.
Other Taoists also held incense and walked into the immortal hall.
All the Taoists offered incense.
Taoist Changying bowed and said, "Disciple Changying, here to welcome Senior Taoist Tianzhen back to Taihua Mountain. I heard that the nature of innocence is the origin of Tao. Return to original life, return to innocence. Senior, the fallen leaves have returned to their roots today."
"Don't you have any resentment at being treated as a calamity by King Zhen and being killed by a fellow sect with your own sword?"
Chen Shi whispered, "Just to wait for a word to go home, innocent and pure, probably as innocent as a baby, Only then can you have no regrets. If you were alive, you might have been able to solve the difficult problem of the monk's evil transformation, and you would no longer have to embarrass the world."
The Immortal Palace shook, carrying all of them up into the sky, suddenly shattering into the void, and disappearing from the underworld.
The split mountain also rumbled back together and became whole again.
The Immortal Palace returned to Taihua Qing Palace and landed on the former site of Qingyang Palace.
Taoist Changying took out the body of Taoist Tianzhen and buried it in the tomb of the ancestor.
Chen Shi went to pay homage, and saw a light swaying on the immortal tomb, like a little Taoist priest sitting in the light, burning an alchemy furnace, holding a scroll of scriptures, and studying with his head shaking,
Chen Shi offered the incense, turned around and left, silently saying in his heart "In ancient times, there was a real person who lifted heaven and earth, grasped yin and yang, breathed essence, and guarded the spirit independently. His muscles were as one, so he could live in heaven and earth without an end. This was the birth of his Tao. Innocent Taoists, this is probably the case. Unfortunately, after all, this world has changed and cannot tolerate you. It cannot tolerate you and it cannot tolerate me. What should I do?"
“Then change the stars and change the world!”
