On the Avenue.

Chapter 227: Evil Uncle Ah Zhu
"Can we follow the deep spring into the underworld?"

Chen Shi looked at the moonlight spring that looked like a swimming dragon, and his heart moved slightly. Although he had practiced and refined this sword before, he had only used the Moonlight Spring Sword to perform some simple sword moves. He had no idea what was so special about this sword.

He was just about to follow the spring into the underworld when suddenly fog came, the moonlight reflected on the sword disappeared, and the spring leading to the underworld also vanished without a trace.

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly: "This sword relies on the moonlight to illuminate the spring, which has great limitations. It can only be used at night. For others, it may be useless, but there is moonlight in my little temple!"

The sky in the small temple behind his head showed the sky of his ancestral Chinese land. There was not only sunshine, but also moonlight at night.

In his daily practice, Chen Shi relies on this temple to absorb the positive energy of the sun, moon and stars to improve his cultivation strength.

What's more crucial is that even if it is not dark in the ancestral land and the moon has not yet come out, he can still practice his skills and absorb the moonlight!

In other words, the Youquan Youlong Sword can burst out Youquan at any time, and he can enter the underworld at any time!
He did it as he thought and immediately practiced refining the sword. He saw moonlight shining through the small temple and illuminating the Youquan Youlong Sword. The Youquan that had just disappeared reappeared, winding and opening a road to the underworld.

Chen Shi immediately waded through the sparkling spring water and followed the water towards the underworld.

The spring water reflected the moonlight, and the moon broke, reunited, broke again, and reunited again under his feet.

The lake was covered with white mist, and the sounds of waves and dragon roars all disappeared.

Chen Shi arrived in the underworld and his footsteps fell on the mirror-like surface of the sea, without any ripples.

He looked down and saw his reflection in the water, a skeleton wearing clothes.

A crow flapped its wings and flew across the sky, croaking, "Nanming, Nanming! There is no way to cross the south, and your steps are limitless! Nanming, Nanming! The wronged souls have sunk there, and your bones and corpses are piled like a mountain!"

The crow had feathers, but there was no flesh or blood on its body, only bones. Its head was a human skull, but with a bird's beak.

When Chen Shi heard what the crow said, he looked down and saw that in addition to his own corpse, there were countless faces under the water, looking up at him with their black eyes.

These are the ghosts of the Nanming Sea.

According to the human-headed crow, the ghosts here were walking on the South China Sea and would never reach the end, so they stopped moving and sank into the water.

"Then there is still..."

Chen Shi looked past the faces of these ghosts and vaguely saw that below the Nanming Sea were mountains of bones piled up by corpses!
His heart was pounding.

At this moment, he found that his legs were sinking under the water and he hurried forward.

He walked on the water, and if he stopped, his body would slowly sink into the water.

Nanming should be the magnificent scene formed by the Great Nan Lake in the underworld.

In the human world, Da Nan Lake is hundreds of miles in radius, like an ocean on land, but in the underworld, it becomes vast and boundless, with no end in sight.

The crow flew back and forth above Chen Shi's head, as if waiting for him to run out of strength and fall into the South China Sea.

"This bad crow is waiting for me to die."

Chen Shi laughed secretly in his heart, "But how could it know that I can return to the world of the living at any time... Wait a minute!"

His body trembled slightly. The Youquan Youlong Sword could open the underworld and allow his body to enter the underworld. But could the Youquan Youlong Sword open the world of the living?
He hurriedly activated the small temple, using the sunlight from the temple to illuminate the Youlong Sword. The Youlong Sword merely reflected the sunlight, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Chen Shi then used the moonlight from the temple to illuminate the sword, and the Youlong Sword was illuminated by the moonlight in the underworld and had no reaction.

"Oh no, oh no! When this sword turned into a dragon-shaped giant, it could travel between the Yin and Yang worlds and fight against those masters. Why is it not working now?"

Chen Shi tried again and again, but the Youquan Youlong Sword never responded.

When he was testing, he forgot to move forward, and his legs sank into the sea, submerged up to his waist.

Chen Shi quickly raised his legs and walked forward, and immediately stood on the sea again.

He identified a direction and flew forward at an accelerated speed.

The Nanming Sea is extremely vast and boundless, with no waves on the surface and it is terrifyingly quiet.

Chen Shi walked for a long time when he suddenly saw a figure in front of him. He was delighted and hurriedly chased after him.

"Brother, wait for me! Brother..."

When he got closer, he saw that the person walking on the sea was not a person, but a ghost.

He was an old man like a rotten wood, walking forward with lifeless eyes and a wooden expression. He must have been walking on the sea for who knows how long.

"Old man..."

As soon as Chen Shi said this, the old man's soul seemed to suddenly lose all hope of going on. He sighed and slowly sank into the South China Sea.

Chen Shi calmed himself down and continued moving forward.

He met more walkers, stumbling on the sea, and one of them kept sinking into the sea and became one of the faces looking up from under the sea.

Their bodies sank to the bottom of the sea and became part of the underwater mountain of bones.

When Chen Shi saw this scene, he felt sad.

Suddenly an idea popped up and occupied his mind.

"Shiji, can you absorb the mountain of bones at the bottom of the sea?" Chen Shi woke up the goddess Shiji on the shrine of the small temple and asked.

Because Niangniang Shiji grew tiny limbs, she needed a large amount of magic energy or bones to practice and restore her body. Chen Shi had been staying at home for some time, and Nannan stuck to Chen Shi, making her afraid to show up, so she had to sleep well to recuperate.

Being awakened by Chen Shi at this moment, she still didn't know where she was. When she looked around clearly, she was surprised and said, "My Lord, are you dead? Who did a good deed to kill you?"

"You are the one who is late!"

Chen Shi said unhappily, "Look, this mountain of bones in the sea, can you absorb it?"

Niangniang Shiji walked out of the small temple, came to the temple gate, looked down to the South China Sea, her heart moved slightly, and she jumped down from the small temple and stood on the water.

Her body was as thin as an ant's leg, but her head was about ten feet square. The size proportions were unusual, yet she stood very steadily, looking down at the scene under the water.

"My queen, don't break your neck." Chen Shi warned fearfully.

"Don't worry, sir. Although my newly grown body is small, it is also the body of a demon god. There are not many people in the world who can hurt me."

Lady Shiji laughed and said, "How can you break your neck just by bowing your head? Does Your Excellency know the origin of this mountain of bones under the water?"

Chen Shi said: "It's probably just an illusion. Look, there is also my reflection under the water. My reflection is a skeleton."

Lady Shiji chuckled, "Your Excellency, you are still a little shallow. This is the South Sea, the sea of ​​the netherworld. The flesh cannot be seen underwater, only the scene after death. After you die, won't you just be a pile of bones?"

She was the type of person who would become arrogant when she was a little bit in power, and panic when she encountered a little setback. At this moment, she became a little proud, and her tone was a little arrogant. She said, "For example, envoy, after you die, you will be buried in the soil. After a few years, your flesh and blood will be gone, and only bones will be left. In the world of the living, your bones will be soaked by the underground water, but in the underworld, your bones will fall to the bottom of the underworld sea and pile up like a mountain with the nearby dry bones. Nanming is the Great South Lake in the underworld!" Under her huge head, her extremely slender arms were raised, pointing to the people who were still walking on the sea, and said, "Look at these dead souls. They are those who have died and buried underground. Their bodies have rotted, but not completely rotted. They walk on the sea and keep walking. They will never reach the end. In fact, it is the process of their bodies rotting. When their bodies are completely rotten and only bones are left, the dead souls will despair and sink to the bottom of the water."

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she smiled, "When I first came to Xiniu Island, the Underworld Sea had not yet formed here! I didn't expect that after all these years, an underwater mountain of bones would actually form here!"

Chen Shi said: "Can the Queen absorb these bones and restore her true body?"

"of course can!"

Niangniang Shiji was so excited that she was a little incoherent. She became more and more rampant and laughed, "Niangniang, I can finally restore my true form! Nezha, old man Taiyi, Niangniang, I made the right decision to come to Xinzhou! Niangniang, I will restore my true form, punch old man Taiyi, and kick little Nezha! Hehe, in the whole Xiniu Xinzhou, who dares to breathe..."

Chen Shi urged, "Your Majesty, don't be complacent yet. Absorb these bones first. Otherwise, some powerful ghosts from the underworld will come and drive us away!"

Niangniang Shiji said with a smile: "Xiao Shi, Niangniang will soon be invincible! My true body will soon be perfected, so why should I be afraid of the underworld messenger? I am only afraid that he will not come, otherwise the underworld messenger will kneel down and become my grandson! Xiao Shi, from now on, Niangniang will protect you, and you can walk sideways in the underworld!"

Chen Shi nodded and urged again.

Only then did Niangniang Shiji put away her arrogant look, activated her magic power, and absorbed the stone nature of the White Bone Mountain under the sea.

After all, she was a demon god, and the speed at which she absorbed the nature of stone was astonishing. Soon, the bone mountain on the seabed collapsed in pieces and turned into powder.

The White Bone Mountain collapsed, and the mirror-like sea surface suddenly began to ripple. The waves became bigger and bigger, a tsunami arose, and huge waves surged, with the momentum becoming stronger and more shocking.

The dead souls on the surface of the Nanming Sea seemed unaware and continued walking. No matter how high the waves were or how terrifying the tsunami was, they could always stand on the crest of the waves and would not be knocked down.

This scene is unreasonable, but this is the underworld, there is no common sense.

Although the bone mountain at the bottom of the sea is made up of the corpses of mortals, the accumulated bones contain extremely terrifying stone properties. The ant-like body of the Stone Goddess gradually grew and became as big as a bamboo pole, growing dozens of times taller.

In a short period of time, her body below the neck was about a foot tall and was still growing.

Chen Shi saw the waves getting higher and higher, and the surrounding scene became more and more terrifying. He was secretly shocked and said quickly: "My queen, the movement here may alert the nearby ghosts. Let's go to another place!"

Niangniang Shiji chuckled and said, "Ghost messenger? What ghost messenger should I be afraid of now? Even if the Ox-Headed, Horse-Faced, Black and White Impermanence come, let the four of them attack together, I will not be afraid at all!"

There was a noisy cawing sound from the sky. The human-headed crow that followed and monitored Chen Shi was in a panic. It flapped its wings and tried to attack Shiji many times, but it didn't dare to do so. It seemed that it realized that Shiji was in great danger.

"Little thing, even you were absorbed!"

Niangniang Shiji's eyes flashed with ferocity. With one glance, the skeleton of the human-headed crow suddenly disintegrated, leaving only feathers that fluttered down.

Madam Shiji was extremely proud and said with a smile, "Xiao Shi, how about my method?"

Before Chen Shi could say anything, there was a sudden buzzing sound of wings vibrating. Chen Shi looked in the direction of the sound, and saw something flying over the surface of the Nanming Sea. It was a black mass, and it was actually countless evil creatures with human bodies and bee heads!

These bees and insects were dressed in yellow and black clothes and flew from the sky with a menacing momentum.

"Uncle Ah Zhu's bee colony?"

Chen Shi was stunned. "He is also in the underworld? Isn't he doing evil in South Lake? Why is he in the underworld?"

Just as he thought of this, he saw a swarm of bees swarming over him. A bee with a human head shouted from afar, "Who are you, the evildoer, who dares to trespass into the South Sea, stir up trouble, and harm the ravens raised by my master?"

In just a short moment, the body below the neck of Lady Shiji had grown to three or four feet tall, with a big head that was more than ten feet square. She smiled and said, "Don't panic, Xiao Shi. My strength now is much better than before. I can easily capture the evil spirits!"

She soared into the air, her short legs harnessing the magic wind as she flew through the air, shouting, "Who are you evildoers? Do you recognize Lady Shiji, the Moon-wandering Star Lord?"

Before she finished her words, countless bees and insects turned their butts forward, with sharp stingers exposed at the ends of their tails, like spears.

"Shhhhhh!"

Countless spikes with cold light shot towards Shiji. The light was flickering, not like the Taoist spirit of the human world.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Chen Shi said loudly.

Madam Shiji smiled and said, "Xiao Shi has seen it clearly! I will wave my sleeves and turn them all into stone!"

She waved her sleeves, and suddenly countless bees and insects in front of her turned into stones, fell from the sky, and smashed into the South China Sea. However, the spear-like spikes that shot at her were not petrified.

"Huh? Underworld magic! There's something!"

Niangniang Shiji did not dodge and said with a smile, "My true body is invincible in the world, no magic can hurt me at all..."

"Chi chi chi!"

Thousands of sharp spikes with cold light shot out, instantly piercing Niangniang Shiji's face.

Chen Shi was horrified as he saw that Niangniang Shiji's face quickly turned black. She must have been poisoned.

"Shhhhhh!"

Another wave of poisonous spear-like thorns shot out, and the small body of Niangniang Shiji below the head was also full of sharp spears.

Niangniang Shiji was obviously a little panicked. She immediately turned around and ran. She heard a continuous whooshing sound and poisonous stingers flew towards her. In an instant, the back of her head, back, and legs were full of stings.

Shiji was stabbed into a big hedgehog, poisoned, his hands and feet were out of control, his magic power was also out of control, and he fell from the air.

Chen Shi rushed to rescue them, but saw the butts of the evil bees and insects in the air were facing him.

"Shhhhhh!"

Poisonous thorns were like clouds, shooting towards him in a black mass!
"One of us! Ah Zhu is my uncle!"

Chen Shi shouted in panic, flew to avoid it, and urged the Youquan Youlong Sword to resist. However, those poisonous thorns seemed to have no substance, and the Youlong Sword could not touch them at all.

"Chucky!"

Chen Shi was hit by several poisonous stings in the face and he hurriedly protected his face. Then he felt a pain in his stomach and was pierced by poisonous stings!

Chen Shi foamed at the mouth and felt dizzy. He struggled and shouted, "Azhuo is my uncle..."

The bees and insects flapped their wings and flew towards me, but I don’t know if they heard it.

After a while, Chen Shi woke up and found himself flying in the sky, but his hands and feet were tied and he was hanging upside down.

His whole body was numb, and he tried to turn his head, but he could only barely see the swarm of bees holding him and flying over the sea. The stinger on his body had been pulled out, but his whole body was still paralyzed, even his Nascent Soul was paralyzed.

Next to her was Niangniang Shiji, who was also hung upside down, but her body was too small and her head was too big, making her look quite ridiculous.

Shiji's body was still full of poisonous thorns, and she had not yet woken up.

"These poisonous bees treat me so well. It must be the effect of me calling you Uncle Zhuo." Chen Shi felt a little relieved.
