That night, Chen Shi took twenty-four artillery carts under Cao Chuting's command, seized more than two thousand projectiles the size of a human head, and placed them around Cao Chuting's camp overnight. He was waiting for this moment.
The fire from the explosion illuminated the sky. Even Tian Yue'e and others who were more than a hundred miles away could see the fireball rising into the sky, like a big golden mushroom. And around the mushroom, there was a silvery white blazing fireball. Thunder and lightning, the crisscrossing lightning flashes were like plowing fields, shooting in all directions, extremely terrifying.
With this kind of power, even if he has a heaven-reaching cultivation level, he will still be killed!
The explosion even set off a strong wind that blew close to the ground, destroying everything in its path!
Chen Shi watched the thunder and fire gradually dissipate. After the strong wind passed, he came to the camp and carefully checked whether there were any survivors. If there were any, they needed to be eradicated. Cao Chuting's camp had turned into a large pit of magma, and the ground was also Melt and everything ceases to exist.
"The power of thunder and fire is too overwhelming."
Chen Shi was awe-inspiring, and couldn't help but admire the Lord Qianyang a little more. He quietly retreated and returned along the original path.
At dawn, Tian Yue'e, Huang Fengnian and others waited in fear all night. Nothing happened that night, and it was peaceful. Only some evil spirits came near the wooden cart and chatted with a few people who couldn't sleep. They said that their parents had shortcomings and tricked them out. Have some fun.
There were also evil spirits dancing in the strong wind, posing and enchanting, but it was a pity that no one was tempted by them. Everyone stayed near the wooden cart, and no one took a step forward.
When daybreak comes, the wind has stopped, the sky is clear, and all the evil spirits have disappeared.
Black Pot straightened up, took out the lantern, blew out the candles inside, and put it away again. He also took out rice, flour, grain and oil from the small courtyard, moved out tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, and everyone helped light a fire to cook.
Occasionally, some people feel that something is wrong, but then they return to normal, and some people feel that there is an extra person among them, but it is not clear who the extra person is. The scapegoats are busy coming and going, and they are called classmates, as if they are everyone. One of them seemed to be a candidate who came to Beijing to take the exam.
Others felt that when they went to private school, Hei Guo was there. They were classmates and they had studied together for several years, and their friendship was extremely good. They talked to Hei Guo, and although Hei Guo did not respond, everyone felt that they Got a response.
At this time, someone saw Chen Shi coming from a distance and quickly put down their work. Others also noticed him, put down their work and watched him approach. "It's okay now." Chen Shi Smiled at them.
Is everything okay?
These people were a little confused. Did the people who bombarded them retreat?
Sun Yisheng woke up, seriously injured, and collapsed in the wooden cart. He opened his eyes and looked around confusedly.
Chen Shi came to him and put a bowl of gruel in the black pot. Chen Shi took it and tried it. It was no longer hot, so he helped him lean against it and fed him the porridge. "Let's go back home."
Sun Yisheng's tears rolled into the porridge, his mouth trembled, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Master, go back to your hometown. Xijing is too dangerous, Master Chen Tang can't protect you. You can save your life if you go back, and being alive is better than anything else." .”
Chen Shi smiled and said: "Master Sun, of course, living is better than anything else, but if you can live a better life, you still have to fight. Look at these people, they are all risking their lives to run to Xijing. I think I am not weak. How can people be willing to lag behind?"
He paused and said: "One more thing, Cao Chuting, the commander of the Shenji camp, is not stronger than you, and he can't withstand the thunder and fire." Sun Yisheng's body was slightly shaken: "Cao Chuting, the commander of the Shenji camp? He plotted against us. ?Where are others?"
Chen Shi said: "I heard that when he was mixing gunpowder last night, he accidentally blew himself up." Sun Yisheng looked at him.
Chen Shi's expression remained normal, and he was not sure whether Chen Shi's words were a joke.
Although Cao Chuting was only a small commander, he was extremely powerful. He was from the Shenji Camp and was always equipped with gunpowder. How could he blow himself up? It was hard for him to believe it.
Chen Shi fed him some porridge and said with a smile: "Stop thinking nonsense, it's time to recover from your injuries. Try to recover from your injuries when you return to Xijing and be healthy and fat, so that Chen Tang will not think that I have abused you."
Sun Yisheng snorted and thought to himself: "Master Chen is always worried about leaving a bad impression on Chen Tang." "Cao Chuting is just a commander. There are sixteen similar commanders in Shenji Camp."
He took the bowl, cooked the rice himself, and said with the sound of the urn, "He is in charge of the Hongyi cannon, and there are also people in charge of the Folan cannon, which are faster. One company is equipped with forty-eight Folan cannons. There are also people in charge of the bowl-mouth cannons." , the gun barrel of the fire gun is as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and it can be filled with three-inch projectiles. One shot can shatter the soul of the Transformation Soul Realm. There are four hundred people in a division, and they are all equipped with such a bowl mouth gun. In addition, , and the Fire Kamuji, who specializes in thunder and fire magic, supplemented by gunpowder, hehe, the mountains were flattened wherever they passed."
After he finished his meal, he handed the bowl to Gouzi, signaling for another bowl, and said: "Cao Chuting must have been entrusted by someone to kill you. If he misses, will that person send more people? You must Be careful."
Chen Shi felt awe-struck and said, "I will act carefully."
Sun Yisheng drank two large bowls of porridge, felt better, and lay down in the wooden cart to rest.
After everyone had eaten breakfast and were packing their things, another team rushing to take the exam approached them. There were more than ten people, and they were also scholars who were struggling to move forward with book boxes on their backs. Everyone walked together, talking and laughing.
When he came to Xijing this time, Chen Shi stayed at the tomb of King Zhen for a few days before leaving. In addition to the volume of Emperor Xiao Lang's Zhang Gong in the library of King Zhen's tomb, he basically wrote down the exercises on the forest of steles outside the tomb.
The purpose of King Zhen's leaving behind these exercises was to leave a legacy for Xiniu Xinzhou. Chen Shi had a conversation with everyone, to understand their practice methods and personalities, to figure out their suitable exercises, and then to teach them according to their aptitude, and set up the Forest of Steles. Pass on the skills above to them.
Tian Yue'e is cheerful and resolute by nature. Chen Shi said that she was cursed by the God of Thunder.
Huang Fengnian was good at medicine and was determined to study in depth in this field. Chen Shi taught him the Zizhuang Yuanjiang Dharma, which is the method of opening and closing without any plan, and Chen Shi taught him the Three Yuan Zhenshan Jue.
Fu Xiu was indifferent by nature, Chen Shi taught him the Wuji Jade Bead Technique
Hu Guangan had an out-of-the-box personality, so he taught him the secrets of the Dragon God.
Everyone had to learn different exercises and move forward slowly. If there were some things they didn't understand, they had to ask Chen Shi for advice. Chen Shi had never practiced these exercises before, so he taught them while comprehending them.
In addition, the road was difficult to travel, dangerous and often windy, so the team moved slower and slower.
Other people-raising teams kept catching up from behind, and everyone gathered together, gradually reaching a hundred people.
In this team, someone breaks through from time to time, and someone improves the golden elixir every now and then. In one day, there are often more than a dozen people who break through the cultivation level that has troubled them for a long time. Not to mention that they dare not imagine such a scene. , even Chen Shi didn’t expect it.
Anyone who can be a judge is not stupid, especially those who have come here alive, they are dragons and phoenixes among people, and leaders among monks.
They have high talents, high understanding, and good luck. They are no worse than the children of aristocratic families. However, in the past, they had no skills, no resources, and no elixirs. Let alone breakthroughs, it was difficult to even eat enough.
They are like compressed springs. The tighter they are pressed, the stronger the rebound force will be.
In the past, they just lacked an opportunity, but now Chen Shi gave them this opportunity. These people didn't even need elixirs or preserved souls, they just broke through! Within a few days, there were six more Nascent Soul realm monks in the team.
Chen Shi taught the skills on the forest of steles to others without asking them to repay him. He felt that Xiao Wangsun, Zhu Xiucai and Zhen Wang had given him the Xiwang Jade Seal one after another, probably to borrow his hand to teach them the skills on the forest of steles. Spread the word.
He was just doing his job, why did he expect anything in return from others?
However, in the minds of Tian Yue'e and others, this is a great kindness, a kindness that is more important than the kindness of a teacher. It is the kindness of rebuilding! A drop of kindness can be repaid by a spring.
What can we give in return for the kindness of rebuilding?
In the face of this kind of kindness, any language of gratitude seems barren, pale, and has no way to express it.
By mid-March, the team had nearly 200 people. They came to the Huangyan Mountains, the largest and most majestic mountain range in the western part of Xiniu New Island. The mountains stretch for more than ten thousand miles, running through the north and south. Here is not one mountain range that rises and falls, but dozens of them. Mountains run along a north-south direction.
They must pass through the grand canyon between the mountains in March, pass through the miasma jungle here, surrounded by all kinds of strange beasts and even demons, get out of this death zone, and arrive in Xijing in early April!
In the past, when going to Beijing to take the exam, the death rate was highest when passing through the Huangyan Mountains. Dozens of people came here, stopped in front of the mountains, waiting for those behind, and wanted to cross the canyon together. Seeing the arrival of 200 of them, I couldn't help but feel anxious. Surprised and delighted.
The crowd formed a large team of more than 260 people and stepped into the canyon in a mighty manner.
This time, Chen Shi and other more than 200 people, most of whom were excited about breaking through the realm, tried out their newly learned spells along the way. Their strong energy had nowhere to vent, so they used those blind strange beasts and evil spirits to practice. .
The strength of more than two hundred people is getting stronger and stronger. They fight all the way. If one can't be defeated, ten of them will go up together. If ten can't be defeated, then a hundred will go up together. Wherever they pass, even if they are entrenched on the top of the mountain.
The old demon was also beaten until he knelt down and begged for mercy.
Chen Shi saw that the Grand Canyon in the Huangyan Mountains was extremely steep, and was worried about someone ambushing here, so he organized everyone to practice the Ten Jue Formation. Each person was responsible for a talisman, a total of 256 talismans, which could be used when the formation was activated.
Transformed into two hundred and fifty-six Chinese gods, forming a sure-kill tribulation formation!
This formation is the one used to protect the immortal spells in the Sutra Pavilion in the tomb of the True King. It is extremely powerful. A single talisman alone has the power to overwhelm powerful men like Chen Yindu! Two hundred and fifty-six people formed the formation, and the power is even greater.
It’s unimaginable!
Chen Shi only tried it once. At that time, in the Grand Canyon, everyone was stepping on the water, with a river several miles wide beneath their feet. They set up this formation on the river.
Chen Shi was at the eye of the formation, and as soon as the Ten Jue Formation was activated, a surging force rose from the ground, cutting off the river, and the surrounding world lost its color, and everything was silent, as if the world had fallen into deathly silence, with no life left!
They did not dare to continue the trial and quickly dispersed the Ten Jue Formation.
Sun Yisheng, who was lying in the wooden cart, was so frightened that his soul was almost shattered by this scene. The pressure was too great, it was too scary!
Even a master of the Void Refining Realm like him, who has completed a dojo, only feels that he will definitely die when he steps into the formation! "What kind of evil spirit is the young master of Chen Tang's family?"
He was secretly shocked that more than 200 Juren could display such a terrifying formation, which was better than thousands of troops and horses, and better than all the formations of the three major battalions of Xijing. I am afraid no one would believe it!
At this time, he noticed that there were strong auras flying away from him a hundred miles away. He couldn't help but was slightly startled, and then he realized. "Someone has ambushed many masters on the road, ready to ambush us!"
His heart was beating wildly. He was not aware of these strong men until they left. They were obviously of extremely high cultivation. Some of them were probably still above him! But these people were frightened away by the Ten Jue Formation!
They laid an ambush here, but did not dare to take action. After sensing the terrifying aura of the Ten Jue Formation, they retreated voluntarily. "I don't know who the ambush was."
Sun Yisheng thought to himself, "However, if it were me, I would have lost all fighting spirit after sensing the aura of the Ten Jue Formation, and would not dare to take action. This aura would simply destroy everything!" Chen Shi and others actually traveled safely all the way.
Pass through the Huangyan Mountains and emerge from the mountains at the end of March.
Along the way, Chen Shi answered various questions about cultivation for everyone. He had never practiced the exercises on the stone tablet, but in the process of helping everyone answer them, it was equivalent to comprehending it himself. And communicating with everyone was also equivalent to a disguised form.
He draws on the best of others.
After leaving the Huangyan Mountains, he calmed down to meditate on the Need for Langdi Zhang Gong, and suddenly discovered that all kinds of secrets that he had been unable to understand before were easily solved! Chen Shi was stunned.
It requires Lang Di Zhang Gong. Originally, it would damage his mind to memorize this set of techniques, but now, he can actually comprehend it!
"My cultivation has not improved much during this period. What I have improved is knowledge. In the process of teaching it to others, I am also learning and understanding." He has a feeling of spiritual essence and rounded wisdom.
He tried to practice this skill bit by bit, not daring to take anything lightly. After all, this was an immortal-level skill that was unpredictable and if he made a mistake, it would be extremely difficult to correct it.
A few days later, Xijing was in sight.
Two to three hundred officials looked at the ancient capital in front of them, and their excitement was palpable. In Xijing, there were also pairs of eyes looking at these officials.
On the post road in Xijing, I saw shrines rising up one after another, emitting divine light, and golden elixirs shining in all directions, reflecting various colors. At the same time, there were small Yuanyings sitting in the void, and the righteousness of the world was affected because of them. , streams of green air come from the mountains and stretch for hundreds of miles.
A voice said: "I didn't find any opportunity to take action along the way. But when I arrived in Xijing, I had an opportunity!" Suddenly, lightning and thunder thundered over Xijing, and thunder fell from the sky, slashing at the golden elixirs and Yuanying.
At this moment, an umbrella rose up, rotated, and transformed into an area of ​​​​mu. There were gods and men under the umbrella, like a palace in heaven, blocking out many thunders. Someone activated a spell and shattered the thunder talisman high in the sky.
The umbrella rotated and shrunk, but was not folded up. It was still hanging above the heads of the people who held the ceremony. The divine voice under the umbrella was loud, like the chanting of gods, protecting the people who held the ceremony.
In full view of everyone, Chen Shi walked into Xijing City with more than 260 candidates.
Chapter completed!
