Chapter 456 The Number One Scholar Returns to His Hometown, Fish and Meat Neighbors
Chen Shi returned to Qianyang Mountain a few days later.
This time, he was returning home and had some free time to observe the people's livelihood in this troubled world.
After the disaster, more people should have died. First of all, a major snowstorm that lasts for several years will freeze to death in all likelihood. Fortunately, Shan Xianren broke through the upper realm, causing thousands of void suns to hang in the sky, providing light and heat to the world and avoiding snow disasters.
But this disaster, the invasion of the underworld, the spread of evil spirits, and the food crisis also resulted in countless deaths and injuries. Coupled with man-made disasters and powerful tyrants everywhere, cannibalism and salting and drying people to store as food often happened. Only two out of ten people survived, not less than 30%.
The Chinese gods who protect the common people the most are undoubtedly the Chinese gods Hongshantang and Chen Shishu. Where the temple is,
there will be a harvest.
"At the end of the True King's era, there was a great change in the world. Countless people were killed and injured, and not even one in ten survived. But that disaster lasted for more than forty years, and the current disaster only lasted four years and so many people died. The main reason is that the imperial court did not unify the forces of all parties, and all places were scattered."
Chen Shi said silently in his heart, "Unfortunately, I am not the imperial court - but I can become the imperial court!"
He was in high spirits: "I will rebel when I return to Qianyang Mountain! Wrong! How could I rebel? I own the Jade Seal of the West King, sit on countless talisman masters in Hongshan Hall, and revive hundreds of Chinese gods, I am the imperial court."
Hei Guo felt the strong demonic thoughts coming from behind him again, and turned around to look at Chen Shi faintly.
"Kaiguo, after I ascend the throne, I will make you the King of One Word!" came Chen Shi's voice.
Hikaiguo thinks that Demon King Chen is someone to be trusted with.
Chen Shi came to the foot of the mountain of the Tiger Temple. Old Mrs. Wuzhu was serving watermelons in the melon field. When she saw him, she couldn't help but smile: "The Number One Scholar is back!"
Chen Shi stopped the car and said with a smile: "Grandma Wuzhu, it's me. Grandma. Nai’s health is not bad! ”
Old Mrs. Wuzhu said with a smile: “I eat well and sleep well, so I’m naturally in good health.”
Suddenly it occurred to him that this was the No. 1 Scholar and he couldn't smoke, so he turned from anger to joy: "The No. 1 Scholar eats my melons, which is a blessing for me."
"Grandma Wuzhu, please don't give them away, I can't eat too much."
Chen Shi put a few watermelons and melons into the wooden cart, waved to Grandma Wuzhu, and walked up the mountain. Just as Yuzhu drove the ducks by, he grabbed two ducks and threw them into the car.
"Yuzhu, let the ducks go. They are back. It's okay, it's okay. I'm taking two ducks home. Isn't this me going home? Come and wash away the dust for me. You go ahead! Are you married? Haha, I'm feeling pretty now——"
"Aunt Wang, I'm back! Your beans are pretty good, pick me a basket, pick some peppers over there, and pluck some radishes. Aren't I going home? You can catch the wind and wash the dust for me in the evening - you don't have to take them to my house, just put them in my car! Blind, my family, what kind of money do you want to give me? If you insist on giving it, I will accept it."
" Haha, Sister-in-law Qing, you have another baby? Take off your pants, I’m going to fuck you—well, it’s a baby girl.”
Wu Qingyu was working in the fields. She saw a wooden cart coming from a distance, loaded with chickens, ducks, meat, eggs and other food. She couldn't help but feel surprised and happy. She ran towards the wooden cart and suddenly remembered something. She stopped and called to Chen Tang in the farmland. He said: "Ah Tang, Ah Tang! Xiao Shi is back!"
Chen Tang was planting rice seedlings in the ridges of the fields. When he heard this, he was shocked. He put the seedlings in his hands into the hands of the people next to him and jumped out of the rice field.
He was about to catch up with Wu Qingyu, but when he saw the mud on his body, he calmed down and got some water to wash away the dirt on his body.
Before he could wash himself off, Chen Shi and Wu Qingyu had already walked over.
"Dad, I'm back!" Chen Shi said loudly.
Chen Tang took a ladle and washed his feet. He felt a little embarrassed with his bare feet and said, "It'll be good when I'm back - um!"
Chen Shi stepped forward, hugged him tightly, and held him tightly.
Chen Tang was at a loss. He had been an official for many years and was not used to such strong emotional expressions.
Wu Qingyu looked at the father and son with a smile, and saw that Chen Tang still relaxed. She patted Chen Shi's back gently with the hand holding the ladle, and murmured: "Okay, okay————""
He felt that his son's shoulders were much wider and thicker, and his voice became richer, which made people feel at ease.
Xiao Xiao slipped out of the small temple and was caught by Wu Qingyu to plant rice seedlings. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted while working, and crisp laughter could be heard from time to time.
Hikaiguo also ran around like he was having fun, rushing into the mountains and forests, startling a bunch of birds and beasts.
A deep and deep roar came from the mountains, and Black Pot immediately became much more obedient and followed the sound obediently.
That is its mother, the adult dog calling to it.
When Chen Shi returned, the mountain was very lively. Magistrate Hu came running over, excited and excited.
The vixens from the mountains also came over. Because of their race, these women from the fox tribe were very troubled by the number one scholar. Magistrate Hu used his official authority to drive away the goblins.
"Xiaolanghozi, I also want to be the wife of the No. 1 Scholar! Grandma has not made it, you are just dreaming!"
She pulled Chen Shi, glanced at her not far away, and said with a smile, "No. 1 Scholar, have you consummated your marriage - not yet? You see, our Fox Clan is good at changing, and I have become a little girl. Let's consummate our marriage tonight, what do you think?"
Chen Shi was quite moved.
At this time, the talisman masters from Hongshan Hall rushed over, pushed Magistrate Hu aside, and paid homage to the instructor.
The wooden cart immediately entangled them, begging them to trace the talismans and seals on their bodies. One by one, this evil ticket has some wisdom. Although it is not very high, it also knows that every time it encounters these Talisman Masters, it can always gain some benefits.
The Lord of Qianyang and Huang Hu also came to meet them. Chen Shi gave them some incense. As soon as they had a conversation, Empress Shiji and some monks came from other places.
After meeting Chen Shi, Empress Shi Ji said: "Your Majesty, I am now protecting Xinxiang and blocking the monsters in the sea. I dare not neglect it for a day. May I ask your Majesty, when can I return to the temple?"
Chen Shi looked at Empress Shiji up and down and saw that Empress Shiji's body, which she had not seen for more than four years, had basically recovered. She was no longer big and small, and her appearance was dignified and beautiful, with the demeanor of a Taoist god.
Chen Shi smiled and said: "Shiji, you are now the god who protects the people. If you protect the people, the people will pay you incense. Why do you need to return to my small temple?" If you build a temple by yourself, you have to fight against ghosts, gods, and monsters, and you have to protect the people, so it is better to live happily in a small temple."
Many ghost tribes from Tianchi Kingdom are also here, opening ports with Xinxiang and doing business. When they heard about Chen Shi's return, they also came to pay their respects.
However, when the ghost tribe paid homage to Chen Shi, they knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times, which was a great ceremony to pay homage to the emperor.
The mountain was very busy for a while, and Hu Feifei had no chance at all. She was busy with her affairs and quickly went to deal with official duties.
After the commotion, Chen Shi was about to look for Orochi Xuanshan and Granny Zhuang, when a familiar voice came: "Mr. Chen, long time no see, Yan Xianzhi is so polite!"
Chen Shi followed the sound and saw Yan Xianzhi, the chief minister of the cabinet, walking towards this side. Chen Shi was extremely surprised and wondered: "Why is he here?"
Chen Tang whispered: "The dramatic changes in Xijing led to Yan Xianzhi's escape from Xijing. However, after the merger of the two realms, the geography changed drastically. He did not know the road and fled all the way here. Almost all the wives and children he brought with him died on the road, leaving only his youngest son and a concubine. I saw that he was pitiful, so I allowed him to stay."
Yan Xianzhi looked much older than before. He no longer had the demeanor of the chief minister of the cabinet who was the strategist before. He was dressed in commoner clothes and was very simple. He quickly came to Chen Shi and paid homage: "Old Yan Xianzhi, meet Mr. Xiao Chen! "
Chen Shi changed his elbows and did not let him bow down. He said with a smile: "Why do you do this, Mr. Yan? It's embarrassing for me."
Yan Xianzhi said with a smile. "If you live under someone else's roof, you will not be blamed if you have many courtesy."
Chen Shi said sternly: "You and I are officials in the same dynasty, how could I see you in trouble and not help you? Don't say that to Si Ta Zhuan. The head whispered: "Dad, arrange a few acres of land for him and let him work. Don't let him eat for free."
Chen Shi asked: "Are you working diligently? It's okay, Mr. Yan, I'm not saying you - if you're not diligent, you have to be beaten!"
He didn't want to be a domineering person. "
Chen Shi smiled all over his face and exchanged a few words with Yan Xianzhi. "I didn't mean to hold a banquet at my house tonight. I wanted to take care of the wind and wash away the dust for me. I just wanted you to bring me a gift. There's no need to come here in person. Please do it, Master Yan."
Chen Shi waved goodbye and looked at Chen Tang again.
Chen Tang said helplessly: "When he escaped here, he was seriously injured. There were hundreds of people in his family, and only three of them died. I took him in because I felt sorry for him. When he arrived at Qianyang Mountain, he no longer farmed honestly like before, doing whatever he was asked to do."
Chen Shi's eyes fell on Yan Xianzhi's back and said: "He is pitiful? There are many people in the world who are more pitiful than him.
The reason why he does not act arrogantly is because he knows that the Thirteenth Family has declined and is not as good as before. If he had the conditions, he would still do it Climb on top of us and stir up trouble."
Chen Tang said: "Yan Xianzhi is knowledgeable, and we need his help to open a school on the mountain."
Chen Shi thought about it, Yan Xianzhi does have his uses, and he is not just a useless person.
"By the way, there's one more thing. The commotion over Gaogang has been getting louder and louder recently."
Chen Tang looked solemn and said, "Xiao Shi, your godmother may be extremely amazing. She will be revived under the incense of the Chinese gods in the past few days!"
Chen Shi was in high spirits and said with a smile: "I haven't offered incense to my godmother for a long time. When I come back this time, I must pay homage to my godmother! By the way, are grandpa and Granny Sha back?"
Chen Tang shook his head.
Chen Shi frowned slightly and whispered: "They went to look for grandpa. They have been gone for more than four years. They should have found him anyway."
Chen Tang said: "Maybe they encountered other things. It is common for Chen Yindu not to come home all year round. You can't expect this person to take the initiative to go home."
Chen Shi's face darkened: "Chen Tang, you are not allowed to talk about my grandfather like that!"
Chen Tang snorted, with a bad look on his face: "You went out for a trip, your wings are stiff!"
Chen Shi said calmly: "I have already reached the realm of refining gods. Maybe we will be in the same realm in a short time. Do you think my wings are strong?"
Chen Tang held the Xuanwei Sword.
Chen Shi's eyes showed a fierce look.
The momentum of the father and son became stronger and stronger, and then Wu Qingyu's voice came: "A Tang, come over here, help me pick vegetables!"
Chen Tang released the hilt of his sword and turned around.
Wu Qingyu pulled away and whispered: "Ah Tang, I think there is something wrong with your daughter-in-law. Sometimes she is very enthusiastic, and sometimes she is cold, as if she is a different person. And when I asked her if she was pregnant, she was very embarrassed - "
Chen Tang said: "I also feel that there is something wrong with Xiao Shi. He has become wilder than before. I am thinking, while I can still beat him, should I give him a good beating?"
The couple talked quietly, while Chen Shi went to visit Orochi Xuanshan, Granny Zhuang and others.
Orochi Xuanshan was shocked when he saw Chen Shi from a distance. He transformed into a man in black and flew down, holding a green umbrella.
Chen Shi approached and suddenly felt much more at peace.
"Xiao Shi, you are very demonic, take this umbrella with you." Before leaving, Orochi Xuanshan gave the green umbrella to him.
Chen Shi thanked him and went down the mountain holding a green umbrella.
Orochi Xuanshan sent him away. As soon as Chen Shi arrived at the foot of the mountain, the green umbrella suddenly ignited without fire and burned clean in an instant.
Orochi Xuanshan frowned.
He underestimated Chen Shi's demonic nature and thought that Chen Shi could restrain his own demonic nature with an umbrella.
"I should have followed him with my umbrella in hand, but it's a pity that I can't leave the people I protect." He shook his head.
However, Chen Shi's demonic nature is so strong that it stands to reason that he should have changed into a demon long ago, but the strange thing is that he still remains rational, but not so rational.
Early the next morning, Chen Shi left home and went straight to Gaogang.
Hundreds of miles away from Gaogang, Chen Shi saw the rays of light reflecting off the sky, making the sky colorful. Those rays of light are like thin veils of light color, floating slowly in the air.
In the distance, you can hear bursts of strange chanting sounds, high, deep, and ancient, as if coming from the other end of time and space. It is an ancient god chanting the name of another supreme being, solemn and grand.
"The people from Despair Slope have been here before, trying to eradicate your godmother, but they were unable to get close to Gaogang."
Chen Tang walked side by side with Chen Shi, looking solemn and said, " That person is a Tiandao practitioner from Despair Slope, his name is Yu Changbai, and he must have been eaten by your fifth uncle. He said that your godmother is called Houtuhuang Didai, also known as Dimu Yuanjun, and Houtu Empress."
Chen Shi and he came to Gaogang and were shocked by the magnificent scene in front of them.
But I saw the rays of light descending from the sky and falling on the high hills, forming the outline of a temple. The incense of the Chinese gods flows in the glow, and the chanting sounds of the gods come from inside, which makes people's souls shake inexplicably. In the temples built by the glow, the deep spaces show the birth, reproduction, death, reincarnation and other scenes of all living beings.
That is not the birth, reproduction, death and reincarnation of the human race, but includes countless races!
Behind these scenes, you can vaguely see an endless black and yellow air, like a vast ocean. In the black and yellow air, there are continents floating in the sky.
「Buzz!」
Two rays of rays of light descended from the sky and turned into two couplets, erected on both sides of the temple.
