On the Avenue.

Chapter 239: Fuzheng Pavilion, Gongcao (seeking votes at the beginning of the month)
Saint Xuan raised the Tathagata Seal to smash the back of the head, while Chen Shi stabbed and shook the gun from the front. The coordination between the two was seamless and perfect, which was absolutely wonderful.

Chen Shi leaned on his pen and gun, his heart pounding, and it took him a while to calm his breathing.

Saint Xuan's heart was beating wildly and she was trying hard to calm herself down.

Chen Shi gradually regained his breath, his eyes fell on Saint Xuan, and he frowned slightly.

He originally planned to fight for his life against Baili Mu's soul, but he didn't expect that Saint Xuan would actually help him.

If the Tathagata Seal hadn't hit the back of Baili Mu's soul, it would be unknown who would win. However, Chen Shi estimated that Baili Mu had a better chance of winning, unless Baili Mu took over his body.

After all, the gap between the two is too big.

Saint Xuan noticed his gaze and vigilantly grabbed the Tathagata Seal.

She was the first to break the silence: "Chen Shi, I'm helping you not to betray you, but to protect myself. I killed Baili Mu because I would die if I didn't kill him. The opposition between you and me has not changed."

Chen Shi nodded slightly, took back the Youquan Youlong Sword that fell on the ground, and put the sword and the Longxu Pen into the small temple behind his head.

Saint Xuan thought that he had shrunk the two treasures and stuffed them into his ears.

She had read a book called Journey to the West, in which there was a monkey named Sun Wukong who was released in this way.

"Big," she whispered.

Chen Shi's head did not explode as she expected, which made her a little disappointed.

Chen Shi glanced at her, and thinking that she had saved him after all, he resisted the urge to knee her in the stomach and continued to search for valuables on Baili Mu.

However, Baili Mu was shattered into pieces, leaving only his head and two legs. Even if there was something on his body, it was either blown up or flew away and disappeared.

Chen Shi didn't find anything valuable, so he collected the fragments of the Xuan Ji Bai Bian Furnace scattered on the ground.

"Big." Saint Xuan said in a low voice.

Chen Shi glanced at her, clenched his fists, and after a moment, slowly relaxed them.

After all, he has done me a favor, how can I kill him?
He continued to sort through the fragments.

There are numerous talismans branded on these fragments, which have been branded repeatedly for many years. Although many fragments are damaged and cannot be pieced together to form a complete Xuan Ji Bai Bian Furnace, the remaining parts are also very valuable.

Take it back and let Lu Banmen study it, maybe it can be used. Even if it is useless, you can let Shao Jing sell it, and it can be worth a lot of money.

Saint Xuan observed him carefully and whispered, "Big..."

Damn the favor!
Chen Shi shouted and ran towards her in the strong wind, swinging his thick thighs and calves like blades, ready to chop her neck.

Saint Xuan was so frightened that she staggered and fell to the ground.

Chen Shi snorted, retracted his chopped right leg, and went back to continue collecting the fragments.

Saint Xuan stared at him nervously, holding the Tathagata Seal. As long as he dared to come over, she would offer the seal.

Even if she couldn't beat Chen Shi, she would use this seal to commit suicide to avoid being humiliated by him.

Chen Shi had no intention of humiliating her. He concentrated on collecting all the treasures he could find. He then took out a small box, the size of an inch, from his sleeve, opened the box, and put the fragments of the Xuan Ji Baibian Furnace into it.

Saint Xuan widened her eyes. Chen Shi’s small box was only one inch square, while the Xuanji Baibian Furnace was seven feet high and nine feet wide. Such a small thing could actually hold the Xuanji Baibian Furnace!

"One flower, one world, one leaf, one Tathagata."

She couldn't help but say, "The Dharma King is free and infinitely changeable. He can put Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed and hide the sun and the moon under a lotus. My Buddhist sect also has this magical power. (Excerpt from Guanghongmingji)"

"This is a family heirloom." Chen Shi said.

Saint Xuan blinked her eyes. Could the magical powers inherited from her family be comparable to those of Buddhism?
Chen Shi packed up everything, and Saint Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Why are you packing all this?"

Chen Shi sat on a rock to rest, put away the small box, and said, "I was very poor when I was young, so I always wanted to make more money. I can sell it for a lot of money if I pick it up."

Saint Xuan saw that his tongue did not fly out, and asked in confusion: "Are you short of money?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I was short of money before, and I wanted to break a copper coin into two. Later, I wiped out the Taiping Sect under the young master's command. After a great psychological struggle, I decided to accept the money from the Taiping Sect. Only then did I start to have money."

His honesty made Saint Xuan a little uncomfortable.

"I've heard about it."

Saint Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Someone from Fuzheng Pavilion told me that you coveted the wealth of Taiping Gate, killed all the people in Taiping Gate, robbed the young master of his money, and also robbed his Resurrection Lotus."

Chen Shi sat there, quietly waiting for dawn, his eyes dim and deep.

"He deserves to be robbed, and the Taipingmen deserves to be killed. The Taipingmen bought many abducted boys and girls from the Tianmu Society and asked them to go to the underworld to steal the Soul-Restoring Lotus. The Soul-Restoring Lotus is planted by adults in the underworld and is guarded by ghosts and gods. Many boys and girls died there."

Chen Shi rubbed his fingers, as if he could wipe off the blood on them, and said, "The oldest among them is about the same age as me. Even if they didn't die in the underworld, they won't live long after being invaded by the Yin Qi. After I demolished the Taiping Gate, I cured their illnesses, gave them some money, and sent them home."

Saint Xuan frowned slightly and said, "Young Master may not know about this matter. I will ask you to check it out after I go back."

Chen Shi said: "It's best to let you investigate the Tianmu Society. The Tianmu Society is involved in human trafficking and is also your business."

Saint Xuan couldn't help but get angry: "You are slandering me!"

Chen Shi asked in return: "I am spitting blood at others, why doesn't my tongue fly out?"

Saint Xuan was speechless and could not utter a word.

Chen Shi continued, "You can go to Yudu and check Rouge Lane, Happy Forest, and the Hongniang Club. You can find out a lot of things by looking at the account books of these places."

Saint Xuan couldn't help but say, "These are all the power of the young master, and you have uprooted them!"

Chen Shi put his hands behind his head, lay back on the stone, and said with a smile: "I am a talisman master. It is the responsibility of a talisman master to eliminate evil spirits. These properties of yours are evil spirits."

Saint Xuan was very angry.

Chen Shi looked at the sky and said nothing.

After a while, Saint Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you speak?"

Chen Shi glanced at her and said nothing.

"Why don't you leave here?" asked Saint Xuan.

"I'm waiting for dawn."

Chen Shi said, "We are now in the underworld, Nanming. After dawn, the fragments of the Tongue-Pulling Hell will disappear, and we will appear on the Great Nan Lake in the world of the living. We cannot go back at night, and must wait until dawn."

Saint Xuan was silent for a moment, and then she said, "I was originally a farm girl, and my hometown is in the Northern Alliance Province (originally North Dakota). When I was five years old, my master, Master Miaoyin, took a fancy to me and brought me to the Bodhi Temple. Since then, I have been studying Buddhist scriptures, meditating and cultivating qi in the Bodhi Temple, and have never seen my family. Master taught me a lot of things."

Chen Shi lay on the stone with his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was resting or sleeping.

Saint Xuan touched the back of her head and it felt hot and painful.

There is a big blood swelling on the back of the head. There is no medicine for the wound and I don’t know when it will heal.

She said to herself, "Everything my master taught me makes a lot of sense. One day, my master asked me to go down the mountain, but I was not happy about it because I wanted to spend my whole life studying Buddhism. My master said that I had never experienced anything and could not comprehend the profound principles of Buddhism, so I had to go down the mountain. She said that I had a destiny with you."

She fiddled with the Tathagata Seal in her hand, her eyes a little confused.

"Master also said that you are a man who will do great things. You should go down the mountain and form a relationship with him first. When he has accomplished great things, you can end this relationship. One success at a time, between the components, you can cut off the trivial thoughts of the world, and Buddhism will be accomplished. Moreover, doing so will not only win opportunities for me to promote Buddhism in the Bodhi Dharma Center, but also get rid of this cause and effect, and make Buddhism more advanced. So I went down the mountain."

She threw the Tathagata Seal aside, hugged her knees with her hands, rested her chin on them, stared at the ground, and said to herself: "I met the young master. He is just as Master said, a handsome young man with no faults. He is handsome, well-educated, and treats people very well. He is satisfactory in every aspect. I am also very satisfied with him, but..."

She sighed, her eyes a little confused. "I don't know if this is love."

"There are too many women around him. I have to squeeze forward. I have to attract his attention in every way. I have to please him."

She lay back dejectedly, with her hands resting on her head. When she landed, she touched the blood clot on the back of her head. She grimaced in pain and hurriedly turned sideways, whispering, "But I don't like this kind of life. Because I'm too worried about gains and losses. Master doesn't know this. She doesn't know. She told me that I must like you, this is our fate..."

Chen Shi tilted his head downward and glanced at her.

Saint Xuan's tongue was still there and did not fly out with a "poof" sound.

"So, do you like me, young master?" Chen Shi asked.

Saint Xuan's eyes were still blank. After a long moment, she shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Chen Shi stopped talking and continued to close his eyes.

Saint Xuan lay on her side under the stone.

She lay here, her mind racing. Although the Heavenly Gate was blocked and her Nascent Soul could not fly out, her thoughts were flying everywhere.

That was the young master's figure, face, words, actions, and demeanor, which kept turning around in her mind.

At some point, the young master's face gradually turned into Chen Shi's face. Saint Xuan didn't come back to her senses at first, but when she came to her senses, she was shocked. She quickly collected her thoughts and secretly glanced at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi seemed to have fallen asleep on a rock.

After an unknown amount of time, the earth began to rumble and shake, as if something terrible had happened.

The two men stood up and looked up, only to see the sky gradually brighter. The True God from outer space opened his huge eyelids, which became longer and longer. The sky was filled with morning glow and red light stretched for thousands of miles.

Chen Shi stretched and walked out of the fragment of the tongue-pulling hell without saying a word.

Saint Xuan followed him.

The two of them walked into the South China Sea one after the other.

Chen Shi looked down and saw two skeletons, a man and a woman, under the sea. The female skeleton at the back took a few quick steps and stretched out her hand to the male skeleton in front, as if to hold his hand.

"Boom!"

There was a violent tremor on the sea surface, the tongue-pulling hell behind them disappeared, and the strange phenomenon under the sea also disappeared.

The tranquil Great South Lake appeared at their feet.

Chen Shi looked down at the reflection under his feet and saw nothing unusual about holding hands.

Just now, it might just be the ghosts in the underworld playing tricks on people.

"Ji Xuanxuan, let's say goodbye now." Chen Shi turned around and said with a smile.

Saint Xuan recovered as before, with a gentle smile on her face, nodded gently, and said with a smile: "Farewell. But Chen Shi, next time we meet, I will not give you any chance to hurt me."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "It's hard to say. Can you defend against it?"

Saint Xuan bit her lower lip and said with a half-smile, "I practice the secret methods of Buddhism, master various mantras, cultivate a golden body, and master the magical powers of Buddhism. I haven't used a single move! How do you know I can't defend against it?"

She felt a little depressed.

Twice, Chen Shi beat her twice.

Both times she was knocked down by Chen Shi before she could use any moves.

It really feels unfair to tell others about it.

The skills and magical powers she learned, as well as the Golden Body Mantra, are the best in the Bodhi Temple. When competing against her peers in the Bodhi Temple, few can defeat her. At least give her a chance to display their skills!

Chen Shi smiled and said, "If you learn something, it will only be useful if you can use it. If you can't use it, it's the same as not learning it."

Saint Xuan was so angry that her teeth itched. She tried hard to maintain a smile on her face and stammered, "Wait until my injury is healed..."

"See you in Xijing!" Chen Shi laughed, waved his hand, and walked away.

Saint Xuan hesitated for a moment and said loudly: "Chen Shi, I advise you! Don't go to Xijing, don't go against the young master! Go home, go back and find a woman who likes you to start a family, don't go to Xijing to die!"

Chen Shi stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "When I go to Xijing, I will not only take the imperial examination and bring home honor, but also beat the young master so hard that even his father can't recognize him!"

Saint Xuan got angry and turned away: "You want to die, I won't stop you! When you die outside, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

She walked in the opposite direction of Chen Shi, but began to hesitate as she walked.

She didn't know the way.

Da Nan Lake is too big.

If you don’t know the direction, you may never get out.

She chose a direction and walked forward. She walked for an unknown amount of time, until she was starving, but still did not see land.

Saint Xuan gritted her teeth and persisted. At this time, a ship appeared in front of her.

The boat was not big, less than three meters long, and looked like a sightseeing cruise ship, which could only accommodate a few passengers. The boat tent could be used to make tea and prepare some simple food.

Saint Xuan walked forward and shouted from afar: "Boatman, boatman!"

The boat stopped, and Saint Xuan arrived and boarded the boat. She heard a voice laughing and saying, "Xuan Xuan, why are you here?"

When Saint Xuan heard the voice, she looked into the boat awning and saw a scholar in blue clothes walking out of the boat awning. He was tall and handsome, with a glimpse of beard on his upper lip and a tuft of beard on his lower lip, which were trimmed very neatly.

His blue robe is also a Taoist robe for a juren scholar. It looks plain, but the embroidery on the lapels is very exquisite, and must have been done by an embroidery master.

He is Fang Tan, the Gongcao military officer of Fuzheng Pavilion.

Saint Xuan was startled, but smiled and said, "I was chasing Chen Shi, but I couldn't find him and lost my way. Gong Cao, why are you here?"

Fang Tan's face was warm and he smiled, "Some people from Banshan Sect contacted Fuzheng Pavilion. I happened to be nearby, so I came to take a look."

Saint Xuan's heart was slightly shaken: "They informed Fuzheng Pavilion? This is bad, I'm afraid Chen Shi will not be able to escape!"

"The Saint is injured."

Fang Tan's original spirit appeared behind him. The spirit was about two meters tall and stood in the void, like a god in person. He stretched out his hand and twirled it lightly.

The blood clots behind Saint Xuan's head and forehead suddenly turned into wisps of black gas and fell into the hands of her soul.

Saint Xuan touched her head and found that the swelling had disappeared and it no longer hurt when she pressed it.

"Cao Fang really has a good method."

Saint Xuan's eyes flickered as she asked, "What is the current level of Master Fang's cultivation?"

Fang Tan smiled and said, "Refined Void Realm. Saint, I have found Chen Shi's trace."

He waved his sleeves, and the boat suddenly rose into the air and flew away with a roar. The boatman stood on the boat, holding the bamboo pole, at a loss.

——Happy National Day! I wish the motherland prosperity, the people health and happiness, and the stock market booming!
