Chapter 198 Living Sacrifice
Chen Shi put on newly made clothes, a white jacket underneath, a purple and light green round-neck lanthanum shirt outside, a pair of white-soled and black-topped soap boots, and a small gold crown on his head.
In addition, he also has several other sets of clothes, including two sets of red and black flying fish suits embroidered with flying fish, with different colors of wing-shan crowns, as well as one set of light red and light green robes, and straight-waisted trousers
Several sets and five hairbands were placed in the wooden cart.
Gouzi is wearing red trousers embroidered with gold threads, peach blossoms and green leaves. His waistcoat is also red, and his back is embroidered with armor and horse charms. It is looser. When he stands up, he looks like a human and a dog.
Chen Shi also bought Gouzi a pair of tortoiseshell frames with two dark blue glass lenses. He put a ribbon through the frame and tied it behind the ears of the dog's head.
This way the sunlight won’t be too dazzling if you look directly at it
"
By the way, someone also gave me a colorful cloud chariot. I rode a wooden chariot, but it was not as majestic as riding in a chariot.
It is better to take the Caiyun Chariot to Yudu.
Chen Shi was about to change the carriage, but suddenly the wooden carriage opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the Caiyun Chariot whole into its belly, so he had to give up and continue traveling on the wooden carriage.
The wooden cart turned on its wheels, walked out of the high threshold of Chen's house, crossed the steps, and came outside.
Qing'er said: "
Master, I will go with you so that I can take care of your food and daily life.
"
Chen Shi shook his head and said: "
It's no use if you go, it's better to stay at home.
Qing'er said: "
Sir, please don’t stay in the bathing capital for too long. You will go to Beijing to take the imperial examination in April next year. The journey to Xijing is long, so don’t delay it.
Chen Shi nodded and said: "
I have to come back before going to Xijing.
He got on the car and the wooden cart drove away in a hurry
Chen Shi said to the black pot: "
It's really troublesome to live in Da Lao, and there are women taking care of you. It's better to be at home in Huangpo Village.
The bathing capital is in the southwest of Xinduo and south of Gongzhou, so it is quite a long way away.
They walked along the provincial post road, and on the evening of the first day they left Xinduo Province and came to the coastal military post station. They saw huge city walls standing high along the coastline. Every few miles on the city wall, there was a border military guard post.
It's a tower built on the city wall.
There is a giant bronze mirror upstairs, guarded by six or seven border troops, forcing the monsters in the sea to retreat.
Chen Shi stayed at the Border Army Post for one night. At night, he heard the roar of monsters in the sea, like thunder rolling on the other side of the wall.
But it was a peaceful night.
The next day, Chen Shi drove along the inter-provincial post road, but saw that a guard station on the way was captured by monsters. The guard station was destroyed, the bronze mirror was broken, and the soldiers did not know whether to die in battle or to retreat.
Darkness came a moment earlier, causing the monsters to become more powerful than before and break through the defense of the guard.
Going forward, there is still a section of the city wall that has collapsed, and there are sticky traces left by monsters climbing on the ruins. Not far away, there are monster bones, which are extremely huge - the broken bones block the road.
The wooden cart passed under the skeleton, and several monks were seen sawing the bones. Chen Shi stopped to inquire, and one of the monks said: "Sawing the bones to make treasures."
How did this monster die?"
"Chen Shi asked,
"
I don't know.
I heard that when the monster conquered the city wall, a red light flew from the coast, and the monster died.
Chen Shi thanked him and drove the wooden cart to leave.
He was beaten to death by Mazu Empress with blood Ganoderma lucidum.
"
He said to the black pot,
Suddenly, the monster's bones collapsed, and several monks who were sawing the bones fell down and fell to the ground, rubbing their buttocks and screaming in pain.
The monster was huge in size, but the essence in its bones was rapidly losing. After losing its essence, it turned into dust and fell to the ground. Soon the entire corpse turned into powder and was piled together.
The monks ignored the pain, stepped forward to check, and exclaimed in shock: "The energy has been drained by something!"
“There’s something evil around here!
Chen Shi's heart moved slightly: "It must be Empress Shiji's fault!
In the small temple, Empress Shiji breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
These days, Chen Shi concentrates on his practice. She helps Chen Shi regulate his qi and blood and refine the golden elixir, and she also gets great benefits.
But she is a demon after all, and she is good at absorbing the stone nature of bones. When she saw this monster skeleton, she couldn't help but be delighted, so she simply absorbed the monster bones.
When I was working as a demon in Skull Mountain, I took a breath, and all the stone nature in the bones of humans and animals within a radius of several miles was sucked away by me.
Empress Shiji was still unfinished and said, "People can't die yet, they can only squirm while still alive.
Later, I was beaten to death and became a god, so that I could not absorb the nature of bones and stones.
Chen Shi said cautiously: "My wife, don't you think you were beaten to death by the master and the disciple because you did something wrong?
Empress Shiji said: "I am a spirit made from stone and can practice cultivation. I don't have the sense of right and wrong that you people have.
I only know how to refine human bones to cultivate immortality very quickly.
Later, I was beaten to death by the pair of masters and apprentices, who regarded me as a demon because they blamed me for not being as skilled as others.
Chen Shi thought for a moment and said, "You are not allowed to hurt others at will when you are under my sect.
Empress Shi Ji smiled and said: "After I was beaten to death, I knew how powerful I was and I didn't dare to hurt others at will.
Moreover, I was named Yueyouxingjun, so I am also a righteous god after all.
Chen Shi said sincerely: "The disabled righteous god.
They settled in Fei County, rested for one night, and continued on their way.
Because Mazu was guarding the territory of Gongzhou, even if there were sea monsters that broke through the border blockade, they would all die under the blood of Ganoderma lucidum, leaving only huge skeletons.
Empress Shiji was very excited and absorbed these bones along the way to strengthen herself.
However, she absorbed the bones of dozens of demons and monsters, which only allowed her to grow more hair. Not to mention growing a body, it was difficult to even grow a neck.
"
I need to absorb demons.
Empress Shiji was still unfinished and said to Chen Shi, "It's best to be a demon species.
If the demon is too strong, I'm afraid I will be damaged.
That little girl Ying Rumeng is very good, but she is also very strong. I have not recovered my divine power and cannot digest her.
But demon seeds are easy to digest.
Or you find treasures such as divine bones and demon bones
After I absorbed it, I grew very quickly.
I can also go to a place with deep demonic aura to help me quickly regain my strength.
Chen Shi smiled and said: "
Where can I find these places you mentioned? It’s been so many years that one or two demon species have appeared, and Ying Rumeng is running all over the place. Where can I easily meet her? There are also those divine bones and demonic bones, which are full of demonic energy.
How could the land be found so easily?
Empress Shi Ji also knew that what he said was right and sighed.
The wooden cart drove out of the Gongzhou boundary and entered the Yudu boundary
Empress Shiji suddenly screamed: "
Envoy, envoy! I feel the breath of the little witch!"
She was confused and lost her voice: "I also noticed the aura of the demon species!
Chen Shi was stunned, it couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
Before he could speak, Empress Shi Ji exclaimed in shock: "The evil spirit here is very strong, and the evil energy becomes stronger the further you go. It's weird, it's really weird! This is it.
The place I just mentioned is filled with evil spirits! Your Majesty, we have come to the right place!
She said excitedly: "
This demon species has attracted many evil spirits and rushed there! It has developed, it has developed this time! It is impossible to say that not only can I recover all my cultivation, but I can also recover my true body!
Chen Shi raised his head and looked into the distance,
That's the direction of Bath City.
Could it be that Yudu is a place filled with evil spirits?
Empress Shiji repeatedly urged him to walk faster, lest Ying Rumeng slip away, saying, "
This little girl must have come here for that demon seed! She was born early and was not yet an adult, so she wanted to absorb the demon seed to help herself grow.
This girl is so slippery, I have recovered a bit this time, so I can’t let her run away!"
Chen Shi drove the wooden cart and drove along the coastline, singing in Duocai County (the prototype of Duocai County: Baltimore City, Balti Touche).
Chen Shi went to the county town and bought a lot of swords. He practiced the technique that night, and the swords turned into birds and flew quietly to the bathing capital.
He did not rush to Yudu immediately, but rested in Ducai County. When the birds entered Yudu, he observed the human geography of Yudu, the distribution of various streets, and the layout of large and small buildings.
He controlled these birds to find Prince Zheng's Mansion, flew into the Prince's Mansion, and landed on a tree to observe the people in Prince Zheng's Mansion.
Chen Shi stayed in Duocai County for two days in a row, but never left for the bathing capital. Empress Shiji couldn't help but become anxious and urged him to leave as soon as possible.
Chen Shi still had no intention of moving and continued to observe.
Suddenly, he saw Scholar Pei raising his head and looking at the birds on the tree, and his heart moved slightly: "Young Master didn't execute Scholar Pei, which shows how generous he is.
Just as he thought of this, Pei Shusheng waved his sword energy and flew over, knocking down the bird transformed by the sword he controlled.
Chen Shi suddenly lost his vision, but there were other birds,
Just listen to Scholar Pei shout: "
Quick! Quick! Shoot these birds down!
Chen Shi's heart moved slightly, and he controlled the birds to flutter their wings. Suddenly, as if the birds were out of control, they escaped from his control and fell down.
Chen Shi stood up suddenly, extremely surprised,
In Yudu City, there was an extremely powerful master who broke his flying sword spell in the blink of an eye!
Is it the powerful people from Prince Zheng's palace, or is it the young master who takes action himself?
Chen Shi's face turned gloomy. He stayed in Duocai County for another day and finally broke through to the ninth level of the golden elixir. Then he called the black pot and drove to Yudu.
At noon, the bathing capital finally came into view.
The city wall was being built outside Yudu City. The city wall here was broken by sea monsters and collapsed for more than ten miles.
When Chen Shi passed by, many people were recruited by the government to repair the city.
wall.
Many people are digging the foundation. The foundation is more than ten feet wide and three to four feet deep. It is extremely huge.
Empress Shiji exclaimed in shock: "The underground of this section of the city wall is quite full of demonic energy. There should be something underground!
Chen Shi got out of the car and watched. He saw many big men digging underground. Suddenly blood poured out of the ground. The people were so frightened that they dropped their shovels and pickaxes and ran up, screaming in surprise.
Several well-dressed people who were respected by the craftsmen came over. The leader was a potbellied man who was kind to others and always had a smile on his shiny face.
Someone shouted: "Master Qianxiang is here!
Chen Shi asked a craftsman, "Who is this Qian Xiangzhu? He treats people with kindness.
"
"
The master of money and incense in the Lu Ban family is the most generous and generous person.
The craftsman must also be from the Luban sect. He puffed up his chest and said, "We are Lubanmen."
The skilled craftsmen of Banmen are responsible for building this section of the city wall. Now that they are encountering difficulties, they need an expert like Qian Xiangzhu to help!
Chen Shi has always respected these craftsmen. He is a talisman master and a craftsman.
I saw that although the Master Qian Xiang was fat, he was as light as a swallow and was as agile as flying. He soon reached the depths of the foundation, stood by the blood pool, and raised the Nascent Soul.
Nascent Soul measured the size of the blood pool, then suddenly dived into the blood pool and went deep into the ground to measure the depth of the blood pool.
Qian Xiangzhu stood by the blood pool, Yuanying flew up, and said strange words in his mouth, fast and urgent, as if he was talking to someone.
After a while, the owner of Qianxiang ordered people to burn incense and worship. However, after the incense candle was lit, a dark wind suddenly blew, causing the incense to fall and the candle to go out.
Qian Xiangzhu lowered his face and performed the ritual in front of the incense candle. Dark clouds suddenly filled the sky above the blood pool, and thunder rolled down, cracking down on the blood pool. The blood pool also churned and fought against the thunder.
After a while, the blood pool receded, revealing the ground
Qian Xiangzhu seemed to have spent too much energy and blood and needed someone to help him climb up from the ground. He panted and said: "The evil spirits in the ground have been eliminated.
Construction is ready to begin.
Wait a minute, Lao Liao, take ten hard-working brothers down first and level the ground.
Those areas soaked in blood cannot be used.
Old Liao, the craftsman next to Chen Shi, said so, and quickly asked more than a dozen young people to get off the foundation and walk down the steps.
When Chen Shi was about to leave, Empress Shiji smiled and said: "There are evil spirits in the ground that absorb the moonlight and create a climate, so we have to drive a stake."
The fat man had negotiated with that thing. The thing was not popular, and he had no choice but to drive the pile.
Chen Shi asked: “What is driving piles?
"It is a living sacrifice.
Empress Shiji said, "
Sacrifice a human being to the thing underground. When the thing is full, it will stop causing mischief.
Now that thing has become the climate, if we don't fight
Without piles, this city wall cannot be built.
These dozen people are Fatty Qian's sacrifices to that thing underground!
Chen Shi had heard his grandfather say similar things.
When building the city wall in the past, we had to guard against enemy spells. We had to kill many black dogs and mix the blood of the black dogs with glutinous rice soup to build the city wall.
You have to kill a lot of people and build them into the city wall. The wall will not fall down if it is hit by spells.
However, those killed at that time were often death row prisoners.
Is there any reason to sacrifice one's own people as living stakes?
Chen Shi walked out and suddenly took a step back. He was one or two feet away from Master Qian Xiang. He took a step back and stepped in front of Master Qian Xiang.
There was no time to prepare. Qian Xiang was majoring in Nascent Soul, and his level was higher than Chen Shi's. Chen Shi was already beside him and bumped into him.
His body as fat as a ball was immediately knocked out and fell deep into the foundation!
Qian Xiangzhu was shocked and angry, and encouraged his cultivation, but Chen Shi's collision actually scattered his Qi and blood. The Qi and blood rushed left and right in the body, making it difficult to gather.
He activated the Nascent Soul, and a burst of mana surged out of the Nascent Soul. Just as he was about to catch his body, he saw Chen Shi standing at the edge of the foundation, looking down, and pressed down with his palm intentionally or unintentionally.
Qian Xiangzhu suddenly felt a mountain-like force pressing down on him. Yuanying could not hold up his body and crashed onto the foundation with a loud bang.
He showed a look of fear and screamed: "Pull me out quickly! Pull me out quickly!"
Lao Liao and others were coming down the steps. When they saw Qian Xiangzhu landing, they hurriedly speeded up and prepared for rescue.
Unexpectedly, Qian Xiangzhu seemed to be embedded in the ground, unable to move. The fat on his body melted away rapidly, and soon only a white skeleton was left lying there, with countless white insect-like tentacles as thick as hair flying among his bones.
It seems that I haven't eaten enough and I still have more to eat.
Seeing this situation, Lao Liao and others dared to go down? They stood there at a loss.
"The piles have been driven.
Empress Shiji chuckled lightly and absorbed the stone nature in Qian Xiangzhu's bones. Qian Xiangzhu's bones immediately shattered with a crash and turned into powder.
Those white insect-like tentacles seemed to be frightened and hurriedly retracted into the depths of the earth.
Empress Shiji absorbed the nature of bone and stone, making her realize that there was a big guy who was thousands of times more terrifying than herself, so she didn't dare to make any mistakes.
Chen Shi glanced deep into the foundation, with an indifferent expression, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd to walk towards Yudu.
In the city of Yudu, the witch Ying Rumeng's face suddenly changed slightly, and she called Monk Wuchen who was begging for food: "Stop begging, let's leave Yudu quickly!
Monk Wuchen was puzzled: "Didn't my uncle say that this place is extremely evil and that it is a good place to practice Buddhism? Now that the evil atmosphere has not been eliminated, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"
The enemy is here!"
Ying Rumeng said quickly, "I sensed the aura of my enemy. He has also entered the city. If we don't leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave!"
Monk Wuchen quickly followed her and said: "
Uncle Master, if we don’t stay here to slay demons, where can we go to practice?
"
I noticed another place with extremely strong demonic energy, which was a hundred times more powerful than this one.
Let's go there.
Ying Rumeng raised his head and looked to the west,
"Xijing!"
Chapter completed!
