Black Guo led the boat girl into the door, turned around and said: "Woof, woof woof."
The boat girl was surprised and said: "Chen Jieyuan has won the first prize in the examination? He really cannot be called Master Jieyuan, but Master No. 1. When will you return to the underworld? After all, you are a sacred person in the underworld, and it is not appropriate to stay in the upper world for a long time."
"Woof woof, woof woof woof."
"That's true, the champion 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 so anxious that she motioned for her to excuse herself and asked, "Girl, have you rescued my mother's soul?"
The boat girl hesitated and said, "We were rescued, but not completely rescued." Chen Shi was puzzled.
The boat girl said: "After our father and daughter went to the underworld, they immediately ran tens of thousands of miles to find the Yuanchen Palace where the soul of the royal family was imprisoned. The guards of Yuanchen Palace were not very strict. We sneaked in and injured a few underworld agents. , so they rescued your daughter’s soul. My father and my daughter knew that if they escaped from the underworld, they would never be able to escape, so they took your daughter’s soul and immediately returned to the Yang world and rushed from the Yang world to Xijing.”
Chen Shi's eyes lit up and he praised: "Smart!"
The boat girl said: "After we arrive in 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. , hiding in the darkness, always watching us from the dark. Then there are undercover 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 in every place is the same throughout the seasons without any change.
The northern region receives less sunshine, so it is severely cold and is a famous bitter cold place.
"Can Yin difference move in the Yang world?" Chen Shi asked doubtfully.
As far as he knew, 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.
The boat girl said: "Our Yin Chaos are relatively weak among ghosts and gods. We can enter the Yang world 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, so it is not troublesome to enter the Yang world to collect the souls. Those Yin Chaos They took advantage of that time to hunt us down. However, we were still able to break out of the encirclement on the first night. We planned to cross the northern border at dawn, but it never dawned."
Chen Shi frowned.
The black pot on the side couldn't help but said: "Wow?" "That's right, sir, it's still dark."
The boat girl said, "It has always been dark. We, father and daughter, walked on the ice and snow in the dark night. From time to time, evil spirits came looking for us. After many battles, we escaped for millions of miles. It was always dark. Finally, we saw the underworld. Xiandu.”
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 death,
Yuanchen Palace will disappear. When you are in Yuanchen Palace, you will see your three corpses, also called the Three Corpse Gods, living in the three rooms of Yuanchen Palace. We sneaked into the fairy capital and found the royal palace.
Yuan Chen Palace, rescue your soul. The number one scholar back then was also suppressed by our father and daughter in our own Yuan Chen Palace in the Immortal Capital."
When she mentioned this, she became less sad and smiled.
Chen Shi asked in confusion: "You escaped from the Immortal City, traveled millions of miles to the underworld, and then returned to the Immortal City? 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.
Black Guo said: "Woof woof?"
The boat girl showed fear and said: "Yes, sir. We encountered a ghost. On the first night, we were affected and pulled into the underworld. An inexplicable and terrifying existence affected our father and daughter.
Our minds and thoughts made us think that we were still in the earthly world. When we saw the immortal capital, we knew we were doomed. My father sent me back to the earthly world, covered my escape, and helped me fight my way out of the siege."
She tightly held the half of the pennies in her hand and said, "Master No. 1 Scholar, we father and daughter have tried our best."
Chen Shi frowned, what kind of terrifying existence could affect the thinking of Uncle Chuan and his daughter without them even realizing it, causing them to enter the underworld without even realizing it?
He glanced at Hei Guo. This ability was very similar to Hei Guo's ability. Are there any relatives of Hei Guo in the underworld?
Chen Shi asked her to rest and recuperate first. The boat girl hesitated and said, "If Master Zhuangyuan goes to Xiandu to save people, he must call me. My father has fallen in Xiandu, and the children must save him."
After seeing off the boat girl, Chen Shi pondered, and then he realized that Chen Tang was standing not far away, and in the wheelchair was Chen Shi's mother.
"Did you hear everything?" Chen Shi said. Chen Tang nodded slightly.
Chen Shi stepped forward, took the wheelchair from his hand, and said: "These maids are not reliable. One of us has to stay to take care of my mother, either you stay or I stay. After you show your strength, Xijing will treat you
They are extremely defensive. If the Thirteenth Family has the opportunity to get rid of you, they will definitely do it. Even if they cannot get rid of you, they will still understand your weaknesses."
Chen Shiniang is Chen Tang’s weakness.
Chen Tang walked with him in the corridor, looking at the Chen Mansion under renovation 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 immediately take the
Your mother has left Xijing. We have been away from Qianyang Mountain for a long time and have not been back in these years. She must also miss Huangpo Village and the old lady Wuzhu."
Chen Shi heard this and 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 Doctor Ronglu?"
"Is there anything you can't bear to part with?"
Chen Tang shook his head and said, "When I entered Xijing, I felt that I was not strong enough. I practiced in the countryside and could never find the person who killed you. Even if I found him, I would not be able to take revenge. I want to search for news and accumulate strength. I have to enter the court and become an official. In eleven years, I have achieved this step."
There were thousands of emotions 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, you will be surrounded by dragons. When you leave Xijing, the dragon will enter the sea. 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 have you before, didn't I live well?"
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. Take good 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 will give it to you."
Chen Tang lowered his head and looked for a stick that he could get his hands on.
As the old saying goes, a filial son emerges from under a stick. If a son is unfilial, he must be beaten too little.
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 Hongshan Hall branch in Gaoshan County to look for Granny Sha, and was told that Granny Sha and her son had gone to the countryside. Chen Shi went to look for her, and Granny Sha took Xiang Tianyu to call for the souls of a family in the countryside. She saw Chen Shi coming over. , Xiang Tianyu hurriedly came forward and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Shi!"
"Don't call me brother, call me brother Xiaoshi!"
Granny Sha smiled, turned to look at Chen Shi, and said with a gloomy face, "Call Auntie!"
Chen Shi called her 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 physical body.
Granny 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 off to play.
Chen Shi looked at Xiang Tianyu in the distance and saw Heiguo teaching him how to fly a kite. He still had a childish temperament and was 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 that of a child. But he will not always have the mind of a child."
Chen Shi glanced at Grandma Sha and said, "Sooner or later he will grow up. If his body remains that of an eight or nine year old, it may not be a good thing."
Granny Sha was silent for a moment and said: "I don't want him to leave. Mother and son have been separated for thirty years. I will find a way to let him grow physically."
The voice of Empress Shi Ji 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, this guy never grew up!"
Grandma Sha heard Shiji's voice and ignored it, saying, "Xiao Shi, why are you here to find me?"
Chen Shi confessed his intentions and said: "I want to enter 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 a way to transform into a god. I can turn you into a Yin god and enter the underworld."
Chen Shi was a little relieved and asked: "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 Fate. 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. If you can, you can.
If you enter, it won't be that troublesome to save you."
Chen Shi's heart moved slightly and he asked, "Can my soul enter it?"
"If you have cultivated to the state of integration, your soul and soul will be as stable as one, and your soul can enter."
Granny Sha shook her head and said, "You are in the state of transformation now, and your soul is not that powerful... Wait a minute, sacrifice your soul and let me see."
Chen Shi offered sacrifices to his soul. His soul had now grown to about one foot, and the divine light around his body shone brightly in all directions.
Granny Sha said: "When you sacrificed your soul, it seemed that you were sacrificing your soul from your own body, but in fact you were sacrificing your soul from Yuan Chen Palace... Wait a minute, your soul
Something is wrong!"
She made a weak grab, trying to pull Chen Shi's soul out of his soul, but Chen Shi's soul flew over completely.
Grandma Sha let out a light sigh and tapped her palm lightly on Chen Shi's Yuanshen's chest. Chen Shi's soul shook, and he briefly separated from the Yuanshen, and then merged into the Yuanshen again.
At this moment, Granny Sha couldn't help but be horrified when she saw a soul about one foot long emitting white light, as if it were solid.
"There's something wrong with your soul!"
She circled around Chen Shi Yuanshen 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 kill the three corpses, you will suffer the consequences!"
She looked at Chen Shi sympathetically: "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 that the three corpse gods are too strong and cannot be killed. You are in the realm of transformation into gods.
Just make the Three Corpse Gods so strong, and then the Three Corpse Gods will kill you."
Chen Shi smiled and said: "I'm still far from the Three Corpses Realm...Wait a minute! Aunt Sha, is there anyone in Yuanchen Palace who is still alive after the owner of Yuanchen Palace dies?"
Granny Sha said: "When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out. After death, the Yuanchen Palace will also disappear. Only when the soul has no place to rely on will it become a lonely ghost. But I heard that after the death of an immortal, his Yuanchen Palace will disappear."
Keep it alive. Have you ever seen this kind of Yuanchen Palace?"
Chen Shi nodded lightly.
Granny Sha exclaimed: "Have you really seen it? Where did you see it? Are there really immortals in this world?"
Chen Shi looked strange: "Heiguo has a few ghost books, which he got from Yuanchen Palace. When I was in Gongzhou, I cultivated the golden elixir, and saw Heiguo crawling under the stove into the underworld and entering a palace. , get the ghost book..."
Granny Sha wondered: "Could it be Yuan Chen Palace who is the scapegoat?"
Chen Shi shook his head: "Why is there a ghost book in Yuanchen Palace, which is the scapegoat's own house?"
Grandma Sha thought: "Could it be someone else's Yuanchen Palace? The dog went to steal the ghost book in Yuanchen Palace?"
"If there is a soul in Yuan Chen Palace, will the ghost book be stolen by someone else? It can be seen that Yuan Chen Palace is probably ownerless."
Chen Shi said, "So I guess that the owner of Yuanchen Palace has died and left behind these ghost books."
Granny Sha looked at the dog that was playing with Xiang Tianyu, her eyes flashed, and she said: "When your grandfather brought this dog back from the underworld, I thought it was very weird. But at that time, it was only as big as a palm. Your grandfather There will definitely be no problem if you raise it from an early age. But now think about it, might your grandfather have been bewitched by it and take it home? In fact, this little thing has been affecting your grandfather's thinking? "
Black Pot's ears moved, he turned his head, grinned, and showed them an innocent smile.
Granny Sha said: "It's trying to influence me and change my mind. But having said that, Xiao Shi, you've been the one to blame since you were a kid. How can you have any bad intentions?"
Chen Shi asked doubtfully: "Mother-in-law, is this what you really think?"
"It must be my true thoughts!" Grandma Sha was very sure.
Chen Shi glared at Black Pot, making sure that it was causing trouble, and shouted: "Black Pot, come back! Aunt Sha, we are going back!"
Heiguo had no choice but to hand the kite string to Xiang Tianyu and ran over. Granny Sha took Xiang Tianyu's hand and mechanically waved goodbye to them.
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 aware of it. It is stronger than the black pot." Stronger. If you want to save my mother, you have to deal with another black pot. I have to let the black pot improve its strength as soon as possible!"
