Chen Shi felt that both Uncle Hu and Uncle Qingyang were a little weird today, but he had no time to ask, so he quickly asked Granny Sha: "Grandma, did you go down and find my grandpa?"
He was inexplicably excited and looked at Granny Sha expectantly.
Granny Sha glanced at the five ghost kings, and the five ghost kings suddenly thought: "Have you done something wrong with good intentions? However, it is obvious that the dog has made a meritorious service. If the dog makes a meritorious service, we have made a meritorious service. Our jobs should be saved, right?"
They are anxious!
Fortunately, Grandma Sha didn't say anything and said with a smile: "I met your grandpa. He is fine. He also asked us if you have grown taller and if you have gained weight!"
Chen Shi was very happy: "I ate two more bowls of rice tonight. What else did grandpa say? Did he receive the paper money I burned for grandpa? Is it enough to spend? If it's not enough, I will burn it again. I also burned a building of paper
Has he received the house, the big sedan chair, and the eight paper figures? Does he lack company? How about I burn a few more old ladies made of paper for him? By the way. I think the old lady from Wuzhu looks like
I don’t have a few years left to live. Let grandpa wait for two more years and it will be over without burning..."
Granny Sha smiled and waited for him to talk for a long time before saying: "Okay, everything is okay, your grandfather has received it. This time we go to his Yuanchen Palace. The palace is luxurious and rich. You burned it for him. He
When you go out, you will be greeted by a large sedan chair. When you enter the palace, you will be served by maids and boys. It’s very comfortable!”
Legend has it that Yuanchen Palace is the place where the soul of a person lives, hidden in the underworld. After a person dies, the soul enters the underworld and lives in Yuanchen Palace.
Chen Shi has also heard of this rumor, but has never seen it.
He has only seen many ghosts of people who died in vain, not living in Yuanchen Palace, but walking confused in the mist.
There were many loopholes in Granny Sha's words, but she was concerned about grandpa and didn't think about it carefully.
Chen Shi then asked about his grandfather's diet and daily life. After all, Grandma Sha had been a goddess all year round, so she responded fluently.
Chen Shi did not doubt it. He felt relieved and said with a smile: "Grandpa is doing well, so I feel relieved. By the way, mother-in-law, you guys go to see grandpa. Is there anything you can do?"
Granny Sha glanced at the green sheep and found that its mouth was covered by the bearded man. She felt relieved and said with a smile: "Your grandfather and we are old friends. We just missed him this time and went to the underworld to visit. Unexpectedly, the underworld is too dangerous."
, almost didn’t make it back. Fortunately, Xiao Shi and Gouzi rescued us, otherwise the three of us would have been miserable. It’s getting dark, Xiao Shi, we have to go back too.”
She mobilized the five ghosts to move the altar, looked at Qingyang and the bearded man, and left in a hurry.
"Kaiguo, I always feel that Granny Sha has something she hasn't told us."
Chen Shi watched them leave and murmured.
Gouzi nodded solemnly and agreed.
"But, Black Pot, you saved Granny Sha and the others and did a great deed. I will buy you something delicious as a reward tomorrow."
Chen Shi smiled.
The dog was very excited and barked twice.
Granny Sha heard the dog barking in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief.
The big man with the beard let go of Qingyang. He was shocked and praised: "My mother-in-law must have reacted quickly, otherwise Qingyang will definitely make a big fuss. If their true identity is revealed, Chen Shi and Gouzi may have an attack on the spot and reveal their true colors."
He remembered the situation when the black pot entered the underworld and went on a killing spree in the mist to rescue them, and he still had lingering fears.
The evil spirits besieging them were extremely numerous and powerful, otherwise they would not have been hurt.
But these evil spirits are unable to resist the attack of the scapegoat.
Even the woman in white was almost bitten to death by the black pot.
Qingyang said: "Do you still remember when Old Chentou picked up this dog?"
Grandma Sha thought for a while and said: "Three years ago? I remember that Old Chen Tou said he would try again and go into the underworld to save Chen Shi. That was the ninth time he went to save Chen Shi, but failed. I heard he was even injured.
He was seriously injured and lay there for three months. When we met him again, there was a little black dog beside him."
Qingyang and the bearded man looked at each other.
"Could this little black dog be brought out from the underworld by him?"
The big man with the beard asked: "I heard that ghosts and gods can transform into other creatures. My mother-in-law is well-informed and is most familiar with the underworld. Can you tell what it is transformed into?"
Granny Sha shook her head and said, "You can't tell. It's no different from a normal dog."
The three of them stared at each other.
Granny Sha sighed and said: "Old Chen went to the underworld to be happy, but he left the mess to us. You two, you go to rest and heal first, there will be more toil in the future!"
Qingyang muttered: "It's so hard, I might as well just become Xiao Shi's godmother."
Granny Sha and the big man with the beard looked pale as they shook their heads and said, "If you don't become a godmother, you still have a way to live. If you become a godmother, you won't have any chance at all."
The three of them dispersed.
…
He will take the county examination in four days. Chen Shi does not dare to neglect these four days.
Every morning I went to Zhu Xiucai's lectures.
Zhu Xiucai also taught very seriously.
"Xiao Shi, you don't have to worry. You've got my true inheritance, and you will definitely go to high school."
Seeing that he was a little nervous, Zhu Xiucai comforted him: "Your and my talents will surely shock Xiniu Xinzhou and become a new star in the literary world."
Chen Shi was a little relieved and said: "I don't dare to ask for the top prize. I only hope to be a candidate and shine on my family."
"Bao Zhong, Bao Zhong!"
Chen Shi went to the Tiger Temple a few more times. The front hall was still being repaired, and the images of the gods in the shrines in the main hall were getting clearer and clearer.
He looked carefully and saw that it seemed to have the head of a bull, but it also had the appearance of a human body.
The strange thing is that there is a tiger lying at the feet of the god.
The formation of the divine form was extremely slow, and he couldn't feel any fluctuations in the divine form's thoughts, which was very strange.
Generally speaking, the reason for the formation of the divine appearance is that the spirit being sacrificed has self-awareness and thinks that what it should look like is what the divine appearance will look like.
For example, the godmother of Huangyang Village is a bronze statue of gods and demons. After being worshiped by the villagers for a long time, she became self-aware and thought that she should be a fat man, so her appearance was that of a fat man who eats all kinds of things.
The godmother of Huangpo Village is an old tree and thinks that she should be a girl in her mid-twenties.
So her appearance is that of a dignified and delicate girl.
"The gods must be conscious, but the gods in the Tiger Temple are not conscious. This means that the tiger is still alive..."
Chen Shi took a deep look at the divine image in the shrine and thought to himself: "The tiger should be in the ancestral land, China. Therefore, there is no need to be aware of the formation of his appearance. However, why is the tiger in Qianyang Mountain not in Xiniu Xinzhou, but in the ancestral land?" land?"
He suddenly realized: "Back then, when Sanbao eunuchs led the Ming Dynasty soldiers to this strange land, they saw that the place was full of evil spirits. The first thing they did was definitely not to create gods, but to offer sacrifices to the Chinese gods they brought on their ships. Let the Chinese gods come in their avatars through the statues. In other words, Qianyang Tiger should be the mountain god of a certain mountain in the Chinese state."
He was a little confused again.
This place must have been very prosperous back then, but why did it decline and even the statues of gods disappeared?
"When the tiger god forms, you will know the whole story."
He left the Tiger Temple, went to the county town, and came to Wencai Academy.
In these days of preparing for the exam, Chen Shi is not worried about his literary test, but he is a little worried about his martial arts test.
So I decided to ask my classmates for advice.
There are only a few students in the academy, and many of them do not come to school.
Chen Shi was surprised to see only a few people gathered together, whispering to each other, wondering what they were discussing?
Hu Feifei was among them. She caught a glimpse of him coming and hurriedly waved: "Brother Chen, come quickly, come quickly."
Chen Shi came closer. The students, three men and two women, looked about the same age as him. The oldest was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest was about ten years old. They were all neatly dressed and wearing black hats.
"There are no classes today?"
Chen Shi asked.
"Classes haven't started yet. Something happened in the city. Mr. Fu asked us to go home and not come to the academy for the next two days!"
Hu Feifei said mysteriously: "The day before yesterday, yesterday, a dozen students disappeared in the city, and the government could not find them. They said that evil spirits came into the city and captured and ate them. So Mr. Fu did not dare to start classes. We I don’t believe that evil spirits are entering the city. If evil spirits are entering the city, why do they specifically arrest students and not others?”
Several students nodded repeatedly.
One of the students said: "So, we plan to catch this evil spirit."
Chen Shi looked at this childish face in surprise, wondering?
Are all the students in the city so brave?
"Have you cultivated into a divine fetus?"
Chen Shi asked.
The student looked childish and shook his head.
Chen Shi looked at the others and said, "Which of you has cultivated into a divine fetus?"
Everyone shook their heads together, except Hu Feifei who smiled without shaking her head or nodding.
The student who was about ten years old said: "Chen Shi, you are from the countryside. Let's search Miaowei Bookstore tangsanbooks.com to see the full version. The students in the city learn different things from you students in the countryside. Although we
We have only built a shrine, not a divine fetus, but we can use the energy of the shrine to activate spells, so we are very powerful."
A girl said: "Yes. Shen Yusheng is the most powerful. He can condense his sword energy every time, but I can't."
Chen Shi looked at Shen Yusheng. He was also a childish boy, eleven or twelve years old at most.
"Have you not cultivated the golden elixir?"
Chen Shi asked.
"Golden elixir? Golden elixir can only be cultivated by people."
Shen Yusheng looked serious and said: "You must first be admitted as a scholar. During the great ceremony, the true god descends and receives the divine gift. Only then can you possess the divine fetus, enter the divine fetus realm, and then practice the divine fetus. With the help of the divine fetus, you can
Enter the stage of transformation into gods and refine the golden elixir."
Several students nodded.
Chen Shi thought about it and realized that he was indeed different from them. He cultivated the golden elixir without the divine fetus.
However, if you pass the county examination and the true god descends and gives you the divine fetus, then you will have reached this level and you will be able to keep pace with other talents.
"I suspect that this person disguised as evil is Mr. Fu from our private school."
Hu Feifei whispered: "The county examination is approaching, and he has been sneaking around lately. I think he has already identified good candidates among us. When the big festival comes, he will dig up those students' divine embryos and sell them at a good price."
"How can we doubt sir?"
"Sir, this is definitely not the case."
The students refuted her words one after another, and Hu Feifei sneered: "You don't believe it? We only need to monitor Mr. Fu to find clues."
Shen Yusheng looked at Chen Shi: "Chen Shi, are you going?"
Chen Shi hesitated, and the students all said, "With Shen Yusheng here, what are you afraid of?"
Chen Shi was also worried that the classmates he had just met were dead, so he agreed and said, "Is there any way you can find this evil spirit?"
"Use me as bait."
The youngest student stood up and said righteously.
Chen Shi asked: "What's your name?"
"My name is Gu Qingmeng, what's wrong?"
The student asked.
"nothing!"
Chen Shi said sincerely: "Now I know what name should be engraved on the tombstone!"
Hu Feifei said: "Today, Mr. went to Dongshi. Let's search Miaowei Bookstore and read the full version. Go to Dongshi to find him. Qingmeng will go talk to him later. We will observe in secret. If he really does something to Qingmeng, we will
Then he jumped out to rescue Qing Meng, captured the old thief, and escorted him to the county government."
Everyone said yes and immediately walked out of the academy.
Chen Shi called the blame and wondered: "Feifei must not know how to talk nonsense. Is it really Mr. Fu who did it? Why did he arrest so many students?"
The East Market is a market in the east of the city. There are no fixed shops in the woods outside the city. Vendors will set up stalls during the day to sell daily necessities. There are also some vendors selling items that children like.
Therefore, many students will visit there after school.
Now that the moon is out during the day, it is said that there are evil spirits outside the city, and the East Market has become much deserted.
When they came to the East Market, there were indeed few vendors in the woods.
Gu Qingmeng said: "Someone was beheaded over there the day before yesterday. It was the county master who was beheaded. Click, click, click. Many people died. Could it be that the ghost of the county master is still alive and has turned into an evil spirit?"
"My father went to see it and said that the county master's body had been burned and he could not turn into evil spirits. My father also brought back red steamed buns for my brother to eat, but I couldn't eat them."
Another female student felt quite sorry.
Hu Feifei said excitedly: "Mr. Fu is right in front, Qing Meng, I leave it to you."
Everyone looked around and saw Fu Leisheng squatting in front of a stall talking to the stall owner.
That stall was for selling geese, and there were more than a dozen big white geese in cages.
The stall owner is an old man with white beard and white hair.
The old man was dressed in cloth, washed white, had a kind face and kind eyes, and was very talkative.
Everyone hid behind the tree. Gu Qingmeng bravely stepped forward and bowed to Fu Leisheng, not knowing what to say.
Fu Leisheng stood up, seemed very angry, and asked Gu Qingmeng to go back to the city.
Gu Qingmeng started to cry.
Fu Leisheng was quite helpless, so he apologized to the stall owner, took his hand and walked into the city, saying: "It's dangerous outside the city. You still run out alone. I bet you will disappear too."
Everyone waited until Fu Leisheng walked away with Gu Qingmeng, and then walked out from behind the tree. Shen Yusheng's eyes flashed and said: "Mr. Fu has taken the bait. Let's follow him."
They quickly came out from behind the tree, and saw the old man selling the goose also stood up and stretched.
Chen Shi looked at the old man selling goose, and saw that when the old man exhaled, his breath was extremely long, and he breathed out for a long time.
"Why are his internal organs so strong?"
Chen Shi was inexplicably surprised, "He's almost catching up with me. His strength is at most one or two points behind me."
Just when he thought of this, the old man selling goose suddenly looked up like a flea, making it difficult for the naked eye to distinguish.
It landed next to them with a thud, and opened a bag in the wind.
With a click, Hu Feifei was put into her pocket.
He jumped continuously, very fast.
In an instant, Shen Yusheng and four others were also put into the pockets.
Chen Shi hesitated and resisted the urge to take action.
Boom...
The big flea-like old man fell from the sky and landed in front of Chen Shi and Heiguo. He grinned and put him and Gouzi into his pockets.
Chen Shi and Heiguo fell into the pocket, and the inside of the pocket was dark. It was unknown how big it was, and there was no one in the pocket.
There were only five big white geese shivering.
"Sure enough, it is this old man who is causing trouble."
Chen Shi opened his mouth to speak, but unexpectedly the sound of a goose came from his mouth.
He looked down and saw that he was completely white and turned into a big white goose.
He looked towards the black pot beside him.
The dog was still a dog, sitting there with his tongue hanging out.
"The goose is for sale, the goose is for sale!"
The voice of the goose seller came from outside, shouting: "Big white goose from the country, big white goose from the country, stewed in an iron pot, delicious, long life. Does the county master want goose? Fresh big white goose from the boy."
A slightly majestic voice said: "This goose is quite fresh. My wife likes to eat goose stewed in iron pots. Send it to the county government for me."
"Okay!"
