On the Avenue.

Chapter 179 Disaster Level (Please vote for the monthly ticket on September st!)
When Chen Shi woke up, he saw Grandma Sha right next to him. He couldn't help but burst into tears. He hugged the little old lady and tears rolled down his face.

"Mother-in-law, I was killed!" he said chokingly.

"It's okay, it's okay." Grandma Sha patted his back and comforted him.

When he expressed his grievances, Granny Sha asked, "Do you remember who killed you?"

Chen Shi wiped away his tears: "It's an old beggar."

Granny Sha flew into a rage and sneered, "The old beggar has grown up and dared to touch Xiao Shi! Where is this old bastard?"

The bearded man came up to her and whispered in her ear, "He's dead. I found his body. His neck was broken, and his soul was captured and eaten."

After hearing this, Granny Sha didn't know what to say, so she said, "The dead are the greatest, they should be buried in peace. I hope he will have an afterlife... but I'm afraid there won't be an afterlife."

As the two demons were put into the God-Searching Bag, the demonic domain dissipated and Chen Shi's emotions gradually stabilized.

Everyone returned to Hongshan Hall. Hanshan Sanren and Qianke Sanren recuperated in Hongshan Hall, but their main purpose was to observe Chen Shi, and their eyes never left Chen Shi.

Chen Shi was a sensible child. After he came back to life, he hugged the stove to warm himself up. Gradually his body warmed up, and he immediately worked with the Goddess of Hongshan to sacrifice the head of Shiji to release Gongzhou from his petrified state.

The head of the stone cliff exudes a strange power. Wherever it passes, everything comes to life. The petrified flowers and plants are the first to revive, followed by insects, fish, trees, animals, and finally humans.

There were sounds of surprise everywhere in the city. People were asking what had happened. Some were looking for their wives, children and the elderly, and there was a lot of shouting.

During this demonic transformation, Chen Shi and Goddess Hongshan were not strong enough in cultivation, so they only turned ordinary people into stone, while the cultivators were not turned into stone. As a result, many cultivators suffered casualties, but most ordinary people survived.

Of course, because of the demonic transformation, battles broke out in the city from time to time, and some petrified people were affected, some had their arms and legs broken, and some even died.

But this is a blessing in disguise.

Otherwise, all ordinary people will die in the first three days of the demonic transformation.

But now most ordinary people are alive!

Goddess Hongshan's magical power was exhausted again. She became listless and returned to her body to rest.

"The petrification of Gongzhou City was done by them?"

The second eldest brother Han Qian was surprised and looked at each other.

After they entered Gongzhou City, they found that everything here was petrified, even the birds, beasts, insects, fish, flowers, plants and trees had turned into stone!
But the strange thing is that these petrified creatures, including humans, did not die, but turned into petrified lives!

They originally thought it was the consequence of demonization, but they didn't expect that Chen Shi would use this method to save the lives of millions of people in and outside the city!

“He’s an amazing kid.”

Migrant Sanren sighed, "If he hadn't died ten years ago, he would have shined at this year's Sanren gathering."

Hanshan Sanren said: "Chen Shi was indeed extraordinary at that time, but he was too smart and almost like a demon. Following Chen Yindu might not be a good thing."

The migrant nodded slightly.

There are many extreme people among the scattered people, and Chen Yindu is the most extreme one among them. He does things in an extreme way, regardless of the consequences, and always causes a lot of trouble. If the Chen Shi of that year had followed the Chen Yindu of that time, he would probably be the second Chen Yindu, or even more dangerous!
Chen Shi is much better now. He is an honest and quiet child.

However, the two elders couldn't help but shudder when they thought of the hundreds of demons sealed in Chen Shi's head.

If something happens to this honest child, it will definitely be more dangerous than the crazy Chen Yin!

"Your Highness has sacrificed her cultivation to save others. This is a noble cause. The two of us should offer incense to you."

When the injuries of the two elders Han Qian got a little better, they came to the tablet of Goddess Hongshan and burned a stick of incense for her.

The cultivation bases of both of them were extraordinary. When the incense stick was inserted into the incense burner, Goddess Hongshan felt an extraordinary force surging in her. When the incense stick was half burned, her cultivation base had been fully restored!
However, the extraordinary power continued to surge in, which surprised and delighted her, and she hurriedly continued to absorb and refine the extraordinary power.

"During this demonic change, Master Yutang risked his own life to save the common people. He fought alone against the corrupt officials in Gongzhou. This is admirable."

Hanshan Sanren's injuries were relatively minor, so he mobilized his soul, and his soul clasped his hands together and buckled them inward, pulling out the evil spirit from Yu Tiancheng's body bit by bit. Yu Tiancheng gradually recovered his original appearance, and he was surprised and happy, and hurriedly bowed.

Han Shan Sanren lifted him up with both hands, making it impossible for him to bow down, and said with a smile: "You have a pure heart, but you almost wasted your talent. Although the technique you practice is good, it is also harmful. If you practice with me for a few years, your achievements in the future may not be inferior to mine."

Yu Tiancheng practiced cultivation all his life by exploring on his own, and he actually cultivated to the Spirit Transformation Realm with many setbacks, but he also suffered countless hardships. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but burst into tears and was speechless.

Hanshan Sanren said: "We Sanren rarely accept disciples, we only pass on our teachings. If we accept disciples, there will be sectarianism. Having sectarianism is like creating a barrier to trap yourself, which is called cognitive impairment, making it difficult to see the true face of the Great Dao. Therefore, you are not my disciple, do you understand?"

Yutiancheng said yes.

"Gongzhou has suffered many disasters, but experiencing this demonic change is actually a good thing."

Migrant Sanren said, "Now that there are no high officials in the city, there is less exploitation. If the court sends new high officials, they will be more or less cautious. The lives of the people in Gongzhou are at least much better than before."

All the famous officials in Gongzhou were killed, which must have been a headache for the imperial court.

Half a day later, Hu Feifei brought many scholars back to Gongzhou from other places and met Chen Shi. Chen Shi was surprised and happy.

Hu Feifei said proudly: "All these scholars are here, not one is missing! Am I awesome?"

Chen Shi was full of admiration and asked, "How did you escape?"

"You asked me to take them away immediately, so I did as you said. I ran a hundred miles with them and survived." Hu Feifei said with a smile.

Chen Shi was stunned. He had to say that the girl from Old Hu's family was extremely lucky. If they had left a quarter of an hour later, they would have been trapped in the city, and there would have been countless casualties.

"But it's useless to come back."

Chen Shi frowned and said, "Now all the officials in the city are dead, the border troops have suffered heavy casualties, and the school supervisor has also been killed. I'm afraid our autumn examination will be a failure."

He sighed. The purpose of coming to Gongzhou this time was, first, to disperse the gathering, and second, to take the autumn examination. But the main purpose was the autumn examination.

If you don't pass the imperial examination, it would be unjustifiable for you to return home and bully your fellow villagers.

Hanshan Sanren came forward and said with a smile: "Regarding your autumn examination, I can help you."

Chen Shi's eyes lit up, and he bowed quickly: "Excuse me, senior, how can I help you?"

Hanshan Sanren quickly helped him up and said, "Don't be like this, you are embarrassing me! You are Chen Shi, right? You don't know that I saw you ten years ago!"

Qianke Sanren chimed in, "Yes, you were with your grandfather at the time. We walked over and talked to your grandfather, and I even touched your head. Child, we are not outsiders!"

Chen Shi was embarrassed: "Two seniors, I died eight years ago and I don't remember anything before that."

"It's better not to remember. It's better not to remember."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. When they heard that Chen Yindu was coming to the meeting, they were worried that he would cause trouble, so they rushed over and threatened Chen Yindu in a harsh voice. However, Old Chen was taking care of his grandson at the time and did not take their threats seriously. Hanshan Sanren smiled and said, "We were originally officials in the court. Later, we were not used to the officialdom and were powerless to change it, so we resigned and no longer used our previous names. As the saying goes, Hanshan played the flute to call spring back, and the migrants looked at each other with tears on their clothes. We two frustrated people took two words from this poem as our names."

The migrant said, "Although we have left the court, we still have some connections in the court. The examination for the scholar is held every three years. If you are late this time, you will have to wait another three years. How many three years can we have in a lifetime? The two of us will write to the cabinet and ask the cabinet officials to consider this matter and make sure they give you an explanation."

Chen Shi, Hu Feifei and others were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

Li Tianqing was from a wealthy family after all, so he was a little skeptical when he heard this, and asked, "Will the cabinet officials listen?"

The two elders Han Qian smiled at each other and said, "They will listen."

The two of them immediately wrote a letter, folded it into a paper crane, and blew into it. The paper crane suddenly flapped its wings and turned into a fairy crane in the air, flapping its wings and flying away, many times faster than the sender!
Chen Shi's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he stepped forward and said, "Two seniors, can you teach me this technique? Even if I fail the imperial examination in the future, I can use this method to make a living."

Hanshan Sanren laughed and said, "You think this is a means of making a living? I am clearly using the Wanli Flying Sword, the method of turning paper into a kite, and taking human nature..."

Qianke Sanren kicked him, and Hanshan Sanren suddenly realized: "Why should I say anything? There are a lot of demons living in this kid's head. If he learns my methods and uses them to kill people, won't it be my fault?"

"This is not easy to learn..." Hanshan Sanren said hesitantly.

Seeing that he looked embarrassed, Chen Shi immediately understood and took out two taels of silver from his sleeve pocket. He smiled and said, "I understand. This is tuition." After that, he stuffed it into his hand.

Hanshan Sanren held the two taels of silver and looked at him in confusion.

Seeing his expression, Chen Shi knew that he had given too little, so he gritted his teeth and took out another tael of silver, saying, "I haven't had any income these days, so I don't have much money left."

Han Shan Sanren didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He accepted the three taels of silver and said, "Well, I'll teach you."

Seeing that he agreed, Li Tianqing hurried to take out the silver, but there was not much money left in his pocket, only less than two taels.

Seeing this, Chen Shi filled in for him and said, "Senior, please teach us this magic."

Hanshan Sanren was about to refuse, but Qianke Sanren kicked him and said in a voice transmission: "If he is unhappy, he will die with a bang. You will face those demons alone, and I will not help you!"

Hanshan Sanren sent a message: "How can you die if you don't agree? That's nonsense!"

Even so, he still smiled and said, "Well, I'll be recuperating in the city these few days, so I'll pass it on to you."

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing were surprised and delighted. Li Tianqing said with a smile, "With this skill, I will never starve to death in the future!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "It's much more convenient to send a love letter to Xiao Jin."

Xiao Wangsun glanced at him sideways.

Han Shan Sanren said solemnly: "My magic is different from the one used by the sender. The one used by the sender is to attach his mind to the paper. The caster is watching it all the time and it cannot withstand wind and rain. But my magic only attaches a wisp of mind and a breath of true energy, which can reach thousands of miles away. No matter the wind, thunder, or wild beasts, they cannot stop it. This magic seems to be one, but it is actually three. First, control the mind. Second, understand the changes. Third..."

Qianke Sanren kicked him again, and Hanshan Sanren came to his senses and said with a smile: "The third one cannot be taught!"

He thought to himself that it was dangerous.

The third is the method of killing people with a sword. If taught, it would be fine if this kid learns it, but if those demons living in his sea of ​​consciousness learn it, I am afraid they will be able to take people's heads thousands of miles away!
"Did I give too little money?" Chen Shi wondered.

Half a day later, the fairy crane transformed from the page of Hanshan Sanren's letter had flown thousands of miles away and arrived in Xijing.

Just as the crane was about to flap its wings and fly into Xijing, it was suddenly grabbed by the neck by a huge hand.

The one who pinched the crane's neck was the Creator Xiaowu.

Before Hanshan Sanren could struggle, his mind was crushed.

The crane involuntarily revealed its true form and turned into a piece of paper.

Creator Xiaowu unfolded the letter and read it. His eyes lit up and he smiled, "Dad has so many good things hidden in his head! I am really envious."

After saying that, he still folded the paper into the shape of a crane, blew a breath, and the paper crane turned into a fairy crane and flapped its wings and flew into Xijing.

But the mind in the crane is no longer Hanshan Sanren’s mind.

In Wenhua Pavilion, Zhang Fu was looking up at a cloud in the sky. That cloud had been hanging over Xijing for two months.

Corpse cloud.

A cloud of corpses.

It enveloped Xijing like this.

He was the newly promoted Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. After the resignation of Yan Xianzhi, he had done everything he could to finally ascend to the position of Grand Secretary. However, he did not expect that the Corpse Cloud Incident would occur just after he ascended to the position of Grand Secretary.

Now people in and outside Xijing are in a panic, and there are even reports that he is the prime minister, which is why there are so many disappearances. He should be killed and sacrificed to the gods, so that the corpse cloud will disappear.

"Lord Yan must have sensed something and resigned early! When I am powerless, he will come out again and gain a higher position!"

He gritted his teeth secretly. Suddenly, a crane flew into Wenhua Pavilion, circled in the pavilion, and became smaller and smaller. Finally, it turned into a paper crane and landed lightly in front of him.

Zhang Fu was unfolding the paper with a serious expression.

After a while, all the cabinet members came to Wenhua Pavilion.

Zhang Fuzheng passed Hanshan Sanren's letter around, and after reading it, all the cabinet scholars looked solemn.

"More than a hundred demons are locked in the head of a young scholar?"

An official murmured, "Isn't this a disaster?"

Another senior official said indignantly: "Gongzhou has been completely bullied by him! After bullying Xinxiang County, he went to bully Xinxiang Province. After bullying Xinxiang Province, he bullied Gongzhou again! When will he come to my Xijing to bully? This guy should be executed!"

Zhang Fuzheng said solemnly, "Master Gao is right. This boy should be executed. Then please go to Gongzhou and execute him!"

Mr. Gao's face turned red and he stopped talking.

Zhang Fuzheng said: "Hanshan Sanren sent a letter to warn the court out of our past friendship. It was a good intention. Everyone, Hanshan Sanren also mentioned the imperial examination in Gongzhou, saying that the examination of the scholars should not be delayed. In my opinion, we should follow his advice."

Everyone was puzzled.

Zhang Fuzheng said with a smile: "Didn't the young scholar ask for the title of Juren? Then we will arrange the status of Juren for all the scholars who survived in Gongzhou. If the young scholar wants to take the Jinshi exam again, then we will let him become a Jinshi."

He put his hands behind his back and said leisurely, "Ten years ago, the court owed him, and today, it will be returned to him. As long as he doesn't commit suicide, then we will satisfy him! If he wants to take the imperial examination, let him pass it. If he wants to be an official, let him be an official! Isn't the problem solved now?"

He paused and said, "This year's champion of Gongzhou is Chen Shi!"
