"Xiao Shi, you have the talent of number one scholar!" Zhu Xiucai praised under the old willow tree.
As the county examination approached, Chen Shi began to prepare for the examination and came to him every day to study.
Zhu Xiucai also talked about everything he knew. He thoroughly explained the Analects of Confucius, Poetry, Book of Songs, Doctrine of the Mean and other books. Chen Yong kept it in mind and was extremely grateful in his heart. He said: "If I can go to high school in the future, I will give it to the teacher."
Set up a tablet and worship it every day."
Zhu Xiucai was also very happy and said: "I will teach you all my talents and knowledge. The examination room is the battlefield where you will shine. You will definitely go to high school."
“It’s also a teacher who teaches well!”
"Oh, the main thing is that you are wise, smart, and perseverant!"
One person and one ghost complimented each other, and everyone was very satisfied.
Chen Shi returned home and continued to copy the "Water and Fire Refining Technique". The copy template was snatched by his grandfather from the tomb of the true king. The books were old and the paper had aged.
He had already copied a copy and gave it to Xiao Wangsun.
This copy was copied to Granny Sha.
How to cultivate into the Corpse-Resolving Immortal is recorded in the Water and Fire Refining Technique.
This method is extremely strange and requires death once, either by drowning, burning, or being killed by weapons.
Whenever someone dies and is buried, he will remain immortal for seven hundred years.
After seven hundred years, the body begins to decay, and this is when the beauty of the Water and Fire Refining Technique comes.
Heaven will send down real water to drown you, and if your bones are not scattered after being washed away, in forty years there will be real fire that burns you.
If the bones of the corpse can still be preserved in the real fire, the true body will be born from the fire, grow blood, flesh, tendons, internal organs, and refine into an immortal body, which is called the Corpse Solution Immortal.
The Water and Fire Refining Technique is to practice real water and fire in advance, and temper your body so that you can handle it calmly when you survive the great catastrophe seven hundred years later, so that you will not be tempered to the point of being destroyed physically and mentally.
"Is this how grandpa used to refine my body so that my corpse will not rot?"
Chen Shi put down his pen and began to think.
After his divine fetus was cut off, he must have died and was buried by Chen Tang.
Grandpa rushed home and dug out his body. He found that he had passed the first seven days and could not recall his soul, so he immediately broke into the tomb of the true king, took the water and fire refining formula, and preserved it by refining it with water and fire.
His corpse.
After that, Grandpa looked for other ways to save Chen Shi.
"It wasn't until two years ago that my grandfather rescued my soul and let it enter my body. But after all, I have been dead for eight years, and all my previous memories have disappeared, most likely!"
Chen Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, pulled the book in front of him, took out a stone box and jade seal from inside, put them aside, found a stack of banknotes, and counted them.
There are five more silver notes, five hundred taels of silver.
After his grandfather passed away, he realized how expensive his medicinal materials were. The medicinal materials used to cook medicine every day cost five or six taels of silver.
One hundred and sixty taels of silver will be spent in one month.
The little money I made before was simply not enough for medicine.
"No wonder grandpa didn't save any money."
Chen Shi put away the banknotes and took out the jade seal and stone box to play with.
These two things, one came from the Shanjun Temple, the other was hung on a branch by Prince Xiao, and was given to him by Zhu Xiucai.
Oddly enough, when Chen Shi went home that day and placed the jade seal next to the stone box, the stone box actually emitted a faint blue light.
Chen Yong used the jade seal to approach the stone box, and saw that the stone box emitted blue light again, flickering on and off, as if it was breathing.
He removed the jade seal and the blue light gradually disappeared.
He placed the jade seal next to him and tried to open the stone box when it emitted blue light.
However, the stone box was still tightly sealed and showed no signs of being opened by him.
Chen Shi raised his fist and punched it several times, but the stone box didn't move at all.
On the contrary, his fist was so painful.
He rubbed his fists and muttered: "What on earth is the stone box? If it is used to deceive people, how can it be so hard and glow? Is there really something inside? He shook the stone box hard, but no sound came from it.
!”
At this time, the sound of a black pot was heard outside, and Chen Shi looked out the window.
But when I saw the sun, I closed my eyes and the moonlight fell down.
It's getting late.
He lit a fire to cook medicine for himself, cooked another pot of medicinal materials, burned some meat for the black pot, drank the medicine and soaked it in it.
The black pot is adding heat to the pot.
During his grandfather's absence, he gradually got used to living alone with one person and one dog.
The next day, Chen Shi came to Gangzi Village and knocked on Granny Sha's door.
"Why is Xiao Shi here?"
Granny Sha was so surprised that the alliance asked him to come in and said: "I haven't seen you in the past two days. Business here has been very good. There was a demonic transformation some time ago. Many people died, and many people came to summon the souls to see their relatives. Xiao Shi came
Are you planning to summon the spirit of your grandfather here?"
Chen Shi hesitated and said, "Is it okay?"
"Can't!"
Granny Sha shook her head and said: "Old Chentou is in the underworld in his physical body. If he summons his soul, his whole body will be summoned to the underworld. Without Xuanshan's suppression, he is afraid that he will become a demon immediately."
Chen Shi felt sad, then smiled and said, "I'm here to give a book to my mother-in-law."
After that, take out the "Water and Fire Refining Technique".
When Granny Sha saw this book, she couldn't help but tremble with excitement. She quickly grabbed it and flipped through a few pages. Then she quickly closed the book with a gloomy expression on her face.
"Your grandfather asked you to give this book to me?"
Chen Shi nodded.
"What an old man, Chen! He will plot against me even after he dies!"
Granny Sha was furious, "He knows that as long as you send books, I will have to accept them, and then you will bribe me. If you are in danger, I will definitely not stay out of it. Humph."
She hummed twice and planned to return the book to Chen Shi, but halfway through handing it over, she shrank back and hesitated.
Chen Shi smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, even if I didn't have this book, if I was in danger, wouldn't she save me?"
Granny Sha said without hesitation: "Of course I will save you. If you risk your life to go to Wangchuan River and steal the ram's horn lantern, I will not hesitate even if you let me fight for you."
Chen Shi smiled and said, "Why are you still hesitating, mother-in-law? Just accept this book."
"If you accept it, it means that I have fallen into Old Chen's plan... That's all, if you accept it, what do I care about with the dead man?"
Granny Sha calmly accepted the Water and Fire Refining Technique and said with a smile: "You look good recently and you are not as thin as you were a few days ago. You need to eat more. You are growing taller. If the money at home is not enough, come to Granny."
"Although my mother-in-law is not very capable, she can still make you fat and fat!"
Chen Shi said: "I'm going to take the exam as a scholar. I'm preparing for the exam these days."
Grandma Sha was about to speak when suddenly Black Pot started screaming in the yard, and the sound became louder and louder.
Chen Shi's heart moved slightly, and he said: "The black pot said something happened, and it was so frightened that it stuttered. This must be a big deal."
He hurriedly walked out, and Granny Sha followed him and said in surprise: "You can still hear the dog barking and stuttering? What kind of skill is this? Just teach me."
When the two came to the yard, they saw the black pot shouting into the sky non-stop.
The two looked up and saw double suns in the sky, but in front of the two suns, there was a small crescent moon.
The moon appeared during the day.
Chen Shi and Granny Sha couldn't help but be stunned.
Since ancient times, the sun and the moon have always had a clear division of labor. The sun appears during the day and the moon appears at night.
When the bright moon rises, it is the time when evil spirits are active.
But now, the moon actually appears during the day.
The moonlight is weak, especially when the sun is shining, you can hardly feel the moonlight.
But moonlight really exists, mixed with sunlight, and affects the world invisibly.
"Grandpa always said that evil spirits are affected by the moon. Now that the moon is out, where is evil?"
Chen Shi's heart suddenly jumped, "Will evil spirits appear during the day?"
Granny Sha's face changed drastically, and she said: "Something big has happened, really something big has happened. When the moon comes out during the day, could it be that the true god outside the sky has also sent some light?"
High on the mountain, Dashuxuan Mountain surrounds the mountain peaks, with a far-reaching gaze, watching the changes in world affairs in Qianyang Mountain.
The True God of Heaven and Earth, Shi Xiniu, the True God of Xinzhou, is eternal and unchanging, and his Taoist heart is unwavering.
Dashe Xuanshan is like the god of Qianyang Mountain.
He yearns for the true God beyond the sky.
Ever since he achieved great success, he has been like a true god outside the sky, watching the world around Qianyang Mountain, experiencing the changes in world affairs, and experiencing the joys, sorrows, and joys of the world.
His Taoist heart gradually improved through this kind of training.
Today, he was a little absent-minded.
He originally studied the True God from Heaven and developed an everlasting state of mind, sitting back and watching the changes in the world.
But two months ago, darkness came a quarter of an hour earlier.
He originally thought that this was just a small mistake by the True God. Or that the changes of the True God were too long, with only one change occurring in millions or even tens of millions of years.
So don't take it to heart.
The Taoist heart fluctuation caused by that change made him eat a roasted pork leg presented by Chen Shijin.
Unexpectedly, the sky was clear and the moon was opening its eyes in advance.
It's not bad once, he can also say that the transformation of the true god is extremely long.
But in just over a month, it changed twice.
The corners of Orochi Xuanshan's eyes twitched, and his mood was ever-changing.
Even the demonic transformation, in which so many people died and even Qianyang Mountain was almost destroyed in the demonic transformation, could not make his Taoist heart fluctuate.
Now, the waves caused by his Taoist heart are like being blown by the wind. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the waves are getting bigger and bigger.
It made him a little anxious and uneasy.
"Did something happen to the true god?"
He thought to himself.
The appearance of a crescent moon during the day may be just a small mistake for the eternal and unchangeable God of Heaven.
But for all living beings in Xiniu Xinzhou, this is a huge anomaly.
This abnormality will sweep everyone and affect everyone, and no one can stay away.
At the beginning of the abnormality, everything was quiet and peaceful, and most people's lives were no different from the past.
Only the incense in front of the godmothers in various villages is becoming more and more prosperous.
Incense is curling up, and people are praying everywhere, praying for peace and good weather.
Chen Shi took advantage of the arrival of the Moon Festival, and like his grandfather, drove a wooden cart to various villages to set up stalls, mainly selling peach charms and evil-proof charms.
Now is the beginning of the abnormality, even ordinary people have noticed that something is not right.
Therefore, Chen Shi's talismans are very popular.
As soon as the stall was set up, all the painted talismans were sold out.
Chen Shi bought a lot of spiritual animal meat for Heiguo for it to enjoy.
Then bleed the black pot and draw more talismans.
"Fortunately, it's just a crescent moon. The moon has not fully opened its eyes. If it had fully opened its eyes, I'm afraid evil spirits would come out during the day."
He thought to himself: "These days, he has heard some rumors about evil spirits during the day, which are very evil. Therefore, when he goes out, even during the day, he will hang peach charms and evil evil charms on the wooden cart."
However, I haven't encountered any evil spirits yet.
"Master Chen Fu, Master Chen Fu!"
Someone rushed to his talisman stall. She was a woman in her forties, with a thick build and wearing coarse cloth clothes that were convenient for farm work.
There was an apron tied in front of him, with some flour on it. He must have been kneading dough before. He said anxiously: "Master Chen Fu, my boss was working in the fields and suddenly got possessed by evil spirits. Master Chen Fu, help me!"
The crowd immediately gathered around him, looking very panicked. They all asked what was going on.
Chen Shi had never dealt with evil spirits on his own. The evil spirits that broke out in Huangyang Village were caused by the Zhao family's talisman master secretly killing a boy to refine lamp oil. It was not an evil spirit.
When killing the worms, he also joined hands with Li Tianqing, and he couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
But then he calmed down.
I am a Talisman Master, even if I don't have a divine fetus, I can still draw talismans, draw spells, and fight against evil spirits.
If that doesn't work, you can also add black powder to blow up evil spirits.
"Five taels of silver!"
Chen Shidao.
The woman had a troubled look on her face. Chen Shi's price was not expensive. Other talisman masters who warded off evil spirits often opened their mouths and asked for higher prices.
But five taels of silver was a huge amount for her family.
"Fifty taels of silver, our village is rich!"
A clan elder suddenly said.
When evil occurs in a village, it is not a personal matter, but often affects the entire village.
They went door to door to collect money, and soon collected five taels of silver and delivered it to Chen Shi.
Chen Shi quickly followed the woman to the outside of the village. He saw a group of people gathered together in the field, shouting and wanting to get closer, but they were frightened away by something and there was a lot of shouting.
"Everyone spread out, the Talisman Master is coming!" someone shouted.
The crowd dispersed, and Chen Shi quickly came forward, only to see a man standing in the field, sleeping with his eyes closed, but his arms raised, and his fingers were chewed by something unknown until only bones were left, five white bones.
It was spread open, as if something was grabbing his hands, eating his fingers and palms, and was eating his forearms.
Most of the flesh and blood on the forearm has been chewed away, exposing the dense white bones.
Chen Shi felt pain just looking at him, but the man still stood and slept soundly.
Suddenly, the man woke up from the pain, his face was distorted, his eyes were horrified, he held his right arm and screamed in pain.
"Save me, save me quickly!"
Then a smile appeared on his face, as if he was sleepy again. He stood up with his head tilted and fell asleep. There were still snores coming from his mouth, and he was sleeping soundly, as if he was having a sweet dream.
But his right arm was still raised, as if something was eating his arm with relish, biting it bit by bit, chewing off a piece of meat, chewing it hard, and smashing it in his mouth, it seemed delicious.
appearance.
The man woke up from the pain again and screamed: "Help."
But the next moment, a smile appeared on his face again, and he slept soundly with his eyes squinted.
The villagers were horrified and hurriedly retreated, not daring to come near.
They couldn't see what was eating the man, and they didn't understand why he could still fall asleep while he was being eaten. They couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.
But Chen Shi could clearly see that there was a tall and thin man in gray standing next to the man. He had furry ears. He was holding the man's arm with one hand. His fingers were long and slender, with gray hair and no hair.
The place is very pink.
He had his back to Chen Shi and was chewing on the man's arm with relish.
Whenever the man wakes up from pain, the man in gray will stretch out a pink and flesh-colored tail from behind, raise it high, and rub the tip of the tail on the man's head, as if giving him a head shape.
massage.
The man would smile happily, forget about eating his own hand, and fall asleep standing up.
The men in gray clothes continued to eat from his hands. One ate sweetly and the other slept soundly.
Chen Shi could see clearly.
But the people around him couldn't see the man in gray.
At this time, the man in gray stopped eating and slowly turned his head, revealing a mouse-like face and staring at Chen Shi with his bright little eyes.
This is a mouse that wears human clothes, stands like a human, and is taller than a human.
"Can you see me?"
The mouse in gray clothes said in surprise.
Chapter completed!
