Chapter 180: The gathering of scattered people to become the overlord (asking for monthly tickets!)

"Wouldn't it be disgraceful to the imperial court to do this?" Lord Gao hesitated.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the cabinet officials nodded repeatedly.

It's really damaging to the imperial court.

Even if Chen Shi is a catastrophic evil spirit, the court cannot compromise easily!
If this gets out, where will the court save its reputation?
Zhang Fuzheng glanced at Mr. Gao and said, "Then, Mr. Gao will lead the troops to conquer the evil spirit Chen Shi, how about that?"

Mr. Gao laughed loudly and said seriously, "You are joking, Mr. Prime Minister! Mr. Chen sealed hundreds of demons in himself to prevent them from causing harm to the world. He has made contributions to the Ming Dynasty and the people of Xiniuzhou. How can he be evil? He has made contributions and he deserves a reward! I have no objection to what Mr. Prime Minister said!"

As soon as he said this, all the cabinet officials laughed and said, "Master Gao, you are right! You are right! Rewarding people according to their merits is what the court should do!"

After everyone had made up their minds, they discussed how to allocate the positions of governor, inspector, and general after the Gongzhou government was wiped out.

Since the interests of the thirteen families were at stake, they couldn't help but argue fiercely again.

Zhang Fuzheng secretly sighed that it was not easy to be the Prime Minister. He admired the former Prime Minister Yan Xianzhi and thought, "He is very good at dealing with people and can arrange all the thirteen noble families properly. He is indeed a talent. When I can't hold on any longer, I must invite him back."

Although he was reluctant in his heart, he also knew that the commotion caused by Creator Xiaowu in Xijing was getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure he was under was also increasing.

Creator Xiaowu was not like Chen Yindu, who started killing people when he arrived in Xijing and turned the world upside down.

He was more like a demon god, treating Xijing as his own demon domain. He exerted pressure little by little, driving the people of Xijing crazy and making the thirteen families fight each other for survival when they could not bear the pressure anymore, until they could not bear it anymore and told him what he wanted to know.

He is more difficult to deal with than Chen Yindu was back then.

Zhang Fuzheng coughed and asked, "Who got the Xiantian Dao Fetus back then?"

There was total silence in the cabinet; all the officials looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Zhang Fuzheng sneered and looked around.

He deeply suspected that the innate Taoist fetus was among the thirteen families!

Gongzhou City, Hongshan Hall.

Han Shan Sanren taught Chen Shi and Li Tianqing his method of cultivating the mind, and took them to the flower bed. He pointed at the butterfly in the flower bed and said, "First, separate a strand of your mind and put it on the butterfly. Let the butterfly carry your mind and see what the butterfly sees. Fly with the butterfly for a day and keep your mind focused. When you can control the direction of the butterfly's flight, you will have made a small achievement."

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing practiced according to his instructions, and each of them separated a strand of their mind and attached it to the butterfly in the flower bed.

The butterfly collects nectar in the flower bed, and when it is full, it flies away.

As the butterflies fluttered, their minds also rose and fell with the butterflies' shadows and were carried away to faraway places.

The butterfly flapped its wings and flew out from the flower bed, flying along the corners of the street, gradually getting higher and higher, flying over the walls and roofs, and coming into the air.

The wind blew, and the butterflies danced in the wind and flew out of the city.

As the butterflies fly away, the test on the two men's minds becomes more and more intense. They must keep their minds focused while maintaining their mental vision and being able to see their surroundings clearly.

When the two butterflies flew out of the city, Chen Shi and Li Tianqing felt it was extremely difficult to keep their minds focused, let alone control the direction of the butterflies' flight.

They persisted, but saw green grass and gurgling streams outside the city, frogs squatting in the grass, croaking, bees lingering in the flowers, and cats squatting in the grass, looking around curiously.

There were some simple yet real things that they had not noticed before, but now they noticed them because their minds were focused on the butterfly.

Chen Shi just felt his mind sinking, and he no longer thought about how long he could hold on. He let the butterfly fly with his mind to observe the beauty of this world.

The butterfly flew farther and farther away carrying his mind. Gradually, the sky darkened. The butterfly rested under the leaves and slowly fell asleep.

Chen Shi withdrew his mind, opened his eyes, stood up, and felt that his mind was stronger than ever before.

"I used my mind to fly along with the butterfly and regarded myself as the butterfly. Why did my mind not get damaged but became stronger instead?" He was very confused.

Han Shan Sanren smiled and said, "Practice, practice. The so-called practice is not only about practice, but also about training. Many cultivators focus on practice, thinking that as long as they sit there, meditate, enter a state of concentration, and practice a few exercises to improve their cultivation, they are great. But the real way to improve your ability is to practice. Think of yourself as a butterfly, and live a day like a butterfly, with your mind dancing with it. This is to train your mind. If you practice your mind for a day with complete selflessness, your skills will naturally improve."

Chen Shi suddenly realized.

The next day, he came to the flower bed again and still focused his mind on a butterfly, but this time he tried to control the direction of the butterfly's flight with himself as the main focus.

Gradually, he forgot his own existence and felt that he was just a butterfly, drinking dew, lingering among flowers, and playing with other butterflies.

When night fell, Chen Shi regained his composure.

On the third day, his mind attached to a sparrow and flew with the sparrow.

He thought he was a sparrow, so he joined the sparrow gang and took part in the fights between sparrows, which were very brutal.

On the fourth day, Chen Shi’s mind was on a goshawk, soaring in the sky and overlooking the earth.

He controlled the goshawk, flying farther and farther, gradually reaching a hundred miles away. However, when he wanted to fly farther, his mind would suddenly become dazed and retract into his body.

Chen Shi tried it several times, and the result was the same every time. He knew that his current limit was an area of ​​100 miles, so he had to give up.

Han Shan San Ren came to check the results of Chen Shi and Li Tianqing and was surprised to see that these two young men had mastered the skills of controlling their minds in just four days, and their minds were much stronger than before!

If it were me back then, it wouldn’t be so quick!
Moreover, the distance between their minds has reached the limit of 100 miles in the Golden Core Realm!
In the Jindan realm, the mind can only fly a hundred miles, but the two little fellows at the fourth Jindan level have actually reached this limit!

It is very likely that as their cultivation level increases, these two little guys will break through this limit.

"Li Tianqing is a first-grade divine fetus, so it's natural that he can learn so quickly. How can Chen Shi be so powerful without a divine fetus?"

He was very puzzled. The divine fetus was extremely important for cultivation. The better the divine fetus, the faster the cultivation speed, the greater the improvement to cultivation, the deeper the cultivation, and the stronger the power of the spell.

Because the divine fetus is equivalent to a weakened soul!

Having a primordial spirit in the Jindan realm, one can imagine how great the benefits to cultivation will be!
But, how could Chen Shi cultivate so quickly without a divine fetus?
A person without a divine fetus is a useless person. Unexpectedly, Chen Shi’s cultivation speed is comparable to that of a first-grade divine fetus even without a divine fetus!
"If he could find the innate Dao fetus of the first grade or above, his achievement would be unprecedented! What a pity..." Hanshan Sanren sighed secretly.

He called Yutiancheng and said, "The gathering of scattered people will be held tomorrow. Since you are practicing with me, you should also attend the gathering. It will be convenient for me to teach you."

Yu Tiancheng said yes, packed up and prepared to set off.

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing also followed him, and they all rushed to Wuling of Henggong Mountain.

Granny Sha, Qingyang and the bearded man disappeared again, and no one knew where they had gone.

Xiao Wangsun set off slowly in a chariot, also heading for Wuling.

As for the other scattered people in the city, they had already set out a few days earlier than them and had now arrived at the Fog Ridge.

Wuling is not far from Gongzhou City, only about 200 miles away, but Henggong Mountain stretches for six or seven thousand miles, with numerous mountaintops, connecting more than 20 provinces. It is not easy to accurately find Wuling among the mountains.

Fortunately, with the help of the two elders Han Qian, Chen Shi and others set out on the fifth day of June and arrived at Wuling on the sixth day.

Wuling, as the name suggests, is surrounded by fog, with only the tops of the mountains visible through the sea of ​​fog. Illuminated by the golden sunlight, the sea of ​​fog glows with golden light, and the tops of the mountains also appear particularly eye-catching.

On the way, Hanshan Sanren taught them how to transform. Since Chen Shi had the basic knowledge of transformation talismans, it was very easy for him to learn, but Li Tianqing found it more difficult to learn.

When we arrived at Wuling, we saw many strange people on the mountain, gathering in groups of three or four, either exchanging Taoism or showing off their magical powers.

There were also people who seemed to be in a bad mental state, talking to themselves, preaching their own Taoist philosophy. But if you stop and listen to what they say, you will be shocked.

What these people talk about are often extremely powerful Taoist methods, but they are too profound and give people a feeling of nonsense.

There were many people who knew the two elders Han and Qian, and from time to time someone would come forward to greet them. The two elders Han and Qian were of high seniority, so they nodded in response.

"My two friends, the gathering of scattered people is a place for scattered people to exchange their Taoism. It is a great opportunity for you."

Qianke Sanren said, "When they communicate, you can listen carefully. How much you can gain depends on your aptitude and understanding."

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing thanked them and parted ways with them.

Li Tianqing said: "Xiao Wangsun also told me that individual people often have extraordinary achievements in different fields. When they gather together, it is the best time to learn their Taoist magic. If they get along well with you, they can even pass on to you everything they have learned and understood in their life! So we definitely can't let go of this opportunity!"

Chen Shi said yes, and the two of them shuttled back and forth at the rally. Soon Li Tianqing heard someone explaining the training of the divine fetus. His eyes lit up and he stopped.

Chen Shi listened for a while and realized that the method of refining the divine fetus that this wanderer talked about could not be used on himself, so he had to leave.

He went to listen to other people's lectures. Some were about the practice of swordsmanship, and some were about the manipulation of magic. They all had their own unique features. But after listening for a while, he felt that there was no method more brilliant than the one on the stone tablet outside the True King's Tomb.

"I found an ancient temple in Tianzhu County (reference prototype: Los Angeles). The Chinese god enshrined there has died, but his power is still there. So I rebuilt the temple, but unfortunately I don't know the name of the Chinese god."

A wanderer sighed and said, "I planned to build a golden statue for him so that he could regain his faith and restore his true body, but just as the temple was completed, it was shattered by a fire from the sky, and even the mountain was flattened."

Another casual person shook his head and said, "This kind of thing has happened too many times in Xiniu New Island. It's not surprising."

Chen Shi stopped. His grandfather had once said something similar to him in this tone.

"Do you two know Mazu?" Chen Shi asked them.

One of the wanderers said, "He is a god from the Chinese Continent who guards the sea. I have seen him on a mural in an ancient monument."

Chen Shi quickly asked, "Is there a portrait of her?"

The wanderer shook his head and said, "I left in a hurry and didn't make a copy. But my memory is not bad, so I can draw it for you."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

The wanderer was painting the image of Mazu. Chen Shi took the portrait and was slightly startled. He saw that the image of Mazu was somewhat similar to Hongshan Niangniang, but Hongshan Niangniang was much younger.

"After the meeting, I will go to the Mazu Temple again!" he said to himself.

Chen Shi was strolling in Wuling when he noticed that many eyes were staring at him. He was puzzled and looked in the direction of their gazes, but he didn't see anyone. Then the feeling of being stared at returned, making him feel quite uncomfortable.

But there was no malice in this look.

"Who is watching me secretly? Could it be Granny Sha and the others?"

Just as he was thinking this, a voice suddenly came: "Are you the scholar, the grandson of Wuhu Sanren?"

Chen Shi looked and saw a handsome young man in white walking towards him. He was of outstanding demeanor, with a handsome face, eyes like stars, and was dressed in the robe of a juren Taoist and a golden crown on his head, looking quite romantic.

"I am Chen Shi, and who are you?"

The young man in white smiled and said, "My name is Ren Hang, you can call me Master Ren."

Chen Shi nodded and said, "Master Ren, is there anything wrong?"

Ren Hang opened his folding fan with a rustle, shook it slightly, and said with a half-smile: "You know the principle of possessing a treasure, right? You possess the Water and Fire Refining Technique, and you were refined into a corpse-transmuting immortal. I'm afraid that possessing a treasure will attract the covetousness of many people! The gathering of scattered people is a place for everyone to share what they have learned and understood. Why don't you pass on the Water and Fire Refining Technique to get rid of the covetousness of others?"

His words immediately attracted the attention of many people. Many eyes fell on Chen Shi and whispers were heard.

"So he is the scholar."

"I heard that he came back to life and Wuhu Sanren transformed him into a corpse-reincarnating immortal."

"Wuhu Sanren is dead."

……

Chen Shi was a little unhappy and said, "Whether I want to pass on the Water and Fire Refining Technique is my business and has nothing to do with you. Are you coveting the Water and Fire Refining Technique or my body?"

Ren Hang laughed and said, "You misunderstood. Everyone wants to see the Water and Fire Refining Art and the Corpse Transmutation Immortal, so why are you so stingy? I heard that your talent is famous all over the world and ranks first in the fifty provinces. I am not talented, but I have made some achievements in Taoism. How about this, I will learn your Water and Fire Refining Art and see how powerful the Corpse Transmutation Immortal is..."

"You learn nothing from me!"

A childlike roar was heard. Ren Hang was shocked and angry when he heard it. He looked towards the voice and saw a scholar coming with a book box on his back. There was a boy sitting in the book box with a bruised face and nose, as if he had been beaten.

"Tianyang Boy?"

Ren Hang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Senior Tianyang, are you also interested in the Water and Fire Refining Technique?"

"Move your grandma's leg!"

Tianyang boy was furious. He raised his hand and stamped down with a seal. With a loud bang, Ren Hang was knocked to the ground.

Ren Hang was lying on the ground, his face up, his blood and energy scattered. His cultivation was almost destroyed by a slap from Tianyang Boy, and he had no idea what was going on.

Tianyang boy flew up from the bookcase, landed beside him, grabbed his collar and punched him in the face again and again, shouting: "Wuhu Sanren just passed away, and you are thinking about harming his grandson? Are you worthy of being a Sanren? You are so unkind and unjust, I will beat you up today!"

Ren Hang was beaten black and blue and was unable to resist.

But at this moment, the blue-clothed musician rushed out of the crowd and punched and kicked Ren Hang who was lying on the ground. His face turned red with anger and he said angrily: "Wuhu Sanren is our predecessor and has made great contributions to us Sanren. You want to attack his grandson, are you still a human being?"

Feng Feihua also rushed over and kicked Ren Hang in the crotch, angrily saying: "You are not even a human being, why are you still a casual person?"

More than ten people including Lord Changping, Yuanshan Sanren, Liu Santong, Cao Daoren and others rushed forward, beat Ren Hang violently, scolded him angrily, and soon beat him beyond recognition.

The crowd dispersed cursing.

Ren Hang was lying on the ground, covered with bruises, naked, his face swollen like a pig's head, staring blankly at the sky.

Tianyang boy climbed back into the book box, and suddenly got angry again. He jumped off the book box and rushed over, kicking him several times, only then did he vent his anger.

"Little brother, don't worry. Whoever dares to touch you in this gathering of people will be against me, Tianyang Boy!" Tianyang Boy said, patting his chest.

Taoist Cao, Duke Changping and others also patted their chests and said, "They are against us!"

"Yes! We can't let Wu Hu San Ren die in peace in his grave!"

"We are your backers at the Sanren gathering!"

Chen Shi was deeply moved and immediately expressed his gratitude.

Granny Sha, Qingyang and the bearded man who were hiding in the dark were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

"Tianyang and the others seem to be more worried about Xiaoshi's safety than we are!"
