On the Avenue.

Chapter 249 Shepherd

Li Tianqing said that some time ago, evil spirits would come to kill him every night, and there would be sword energy in the temple to kill the evil spirits.

The God of Wealth Temple was filled with fighting spirit, and even a vision of mountains of swords and seas of fire could be formed in Chen Shi's mind. I was afraid that any evil spirit would not dare to approach. But an evil spirit broke into the temple and tried to kill Li Tianqing!

This shows that these evil spirits are controlled by humans.

In other words, someone controlled the evil spirit to kill Li Tianqing!
Chen Shi's eyes flashed, controlling evil spirits?
Who has this ability?
"How many evil spirits can this person control?"

He suddenly remembered what he had seen on the road. Qingzhou was filled with extremely evil spirits, and there were many evil spirits that would appear during the day. Could these evil spirits be controlled by someone?
Otherwise, why would evil spirits appear during the day?
There was chaos in Qingzhou City, with shouting everywhere.

A green dragon is hovering in the sky.

That was the strange phenomenon caused by the sword flashing down!
The knife light flashed and disappeared, and only the aura of the green dragon remained in the air, which became fainter and fainter.

"This knife is so powerful!"

Chen Shi was amazed and very curious.

Li Tianqing killed evil spirits along the way. Could it be that there were also evil spirits in Qingzhou City?
"Is the Ten Thousand Souls Banner also considered an evil spirit? Why was it also chopped down by him?"

Just as he was about to rush over, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves and a wave of heat came over to his face. Li Tianqing rode over and whizzed past him.

Chen Shi looked and saw that he was holding a human head in his hand, and countless silver bills, gold and silver jewels were flying behind him, following him as he disappeared into the distance.

Chen Shi was stunned: "So Guan Sheng Emperor is this kind of God of Wealth!"

He tried his best to chase after him, but he heard someone shouting behind him, "The Salt Commissioner has been killed by the Red Horse Bandits!"

"The treasury of the Salt Commissioner's house was looted by the Red Horse Bandits!"

……

There were many strong men in Qingzhou City, and many masters used their souls to fly around, searching for the whereabouts of the Red Horse Bandit. However, the blue dragon-like sword light even chopped off the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, so they did not dare to chase too close, and the speed became slower and slower as they chased.

Chen Shi followed the red horse closely. He saw that every time Li Tianqing swung his sword on the horse, evil heads would fall to the ground along the way. The red horse was very fast. Even if Chen Shi increased his speed to the extreme, he could not catch up with the man and the horse.

Suddenly, a village in front came into view. Li Tianqing slowed down a little. Mountains of gold, silver and banknotes were chasing him behind him. Pieces of gold and silver flew up and fell into the yards of every household in the village.

Chen Shi was stunned. Is the God of Wealth worshipped in the Temple of Wealth the one who robs the rich and helps the poor?

He rushed forward and saw Li Tianqing being carried on a red horse, distributing the gold, silver and treasures from the Qingzhou Salt Commissioner's home to the villages and towns along the way. Each household received dozens of taels of silver.

After running for most of the night, Li Tianqing spent all his money and ran towards the Temple of the God of Wealth on his red horse. When he was almost in front of the temple, he slowed down his pace.

Chen Shi caught up with the red horse, only to see Li Tianqing jump off the horse.

The red horse neighed, stepped on the hellish fire, jumped into the underworld, and disappeared.

Li Tianqing stretched out his hand and grabbed the green dragon energy flying around his body, turned it into a long sword, and threw it to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi caught it, and the long sword fell into his hand and turned into a flying green dragon, dancing around him.

Li Tianqing also threw the head of the Salt Commissioner over. Chen Shi hurriedly caught it. Seeing that it was a head, he quickly activated the Youquan Youlong Sword and threw the head into the underworld.

Only then did he notice that Li Tianqing's eyes were closed.

Li Tianqing actually ran for more than a thousand miles overnight with his eyes closed, killing countless evil spirits. He even broke into Qingzhou City, chopped the Salt Commissioner, and looted the Salt Commissioner's treasury!

Li Tianqing walked into the temple, walking like a dragon or a tiger, which was completely different from his previous gait, and went straight to the shrine in the temple.

When he arrived in front of the shrine, he turned around and slowly opened his eyes.

The empty room was filled with white light, and the temple was bright.

He looked at the mountains and rivers outside the temple, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Why is there so much evil and chaos in this country, and no righteousness? What evildoer is causing chaos in the world?"

His body shook slightly, and a stream of clear air flew up and fell into the shrine.

Li Tianqing fell backwards. Chen Shi quickly stepped forward, supported him, and slowly placed him on the bedding.

Li Tianqing fell into a deep sleep.

The green dragon energy that was dancing around Chen Shi also flew up and fell into the shrine.

At this time, there was a sound of ears flapping outside the temple. Chen Shi looked and saw many big-eared celestial listeners flapping their ears slowly descending from the sky and landing around the Temple of the God of Wealth. They were writing and drawing, recording something.

His heart moved slightly, and he raised the Youquan Youlong Sword. He blew out a breath, and the Youquan Youlong Sword turned into a bird and flew up. It came behind a heavenly listener and checked what the listener had recorded that day.

What this heavenly listener recorded were all about Li Tianqing's words and deeds.

It reads: "… Qing rode a red horse, carrying the spirit of the Azure Dragon, killed seventeen evil spirits, entered Qingzhou City at night, destroyed the city gates, killed thousands of souls, killed the Salt Commissioner Lu Song, and took away the money.

“…Qing transported money to villages such as Cangshu, Heyin, and Gejia, distributing silver and money to villagers.

"…The suspect Chen Shi also left the temple, followed the trail, and returned to the temple. He sacrificed his sword and turned into a bird, flew behind me, and read my book. I pretended not to know, but the suspect continued to read. The suspect walked over, and when he was behind me, he raised his hand…"

Chen Shi knocked the listener unconscious and looked through the listener's records.

One night, sunlight shone through the crack of the door of the God of Wealth Temple, attracting the attention of the Heavenly Eavesdroppers. Li Tianqing was then made a key target of surveillance and was closely monitored by six Heavenly Eavesdroppers.

Chen Shi continued to look through the books, and Tian Tingzhe faithfully recorded what happened every day thereafter, including what Li Tianqing said, as well as Li Tianqing's diet and daily life.

This also includes the situation where evil spirits enter the temple and assassinate Li Tianqing!

"At five o'clock in the night, a man like a demon drove the evil spirit into the temple. Suddenly, a green light appeared and the evil spirit was killed."

"At five o'clock in the night, the demon came again, and I drove ten of them into the temple."

"At five o'clock in the morning, the demon comes again..."

……

Chen Shi read through the records of the Heaven Listener and thought to himself, "There really is someone who can control the evil spirit! And it comes every night before the fifth watch, the fifth watch...it's the fifth watch now!"

Just as he thought of this, he suddenly saw a person coming from the air, floating and landing in front of the temple.

The man was wearing a black Taoist robe. After landing, he clasped his hands in front of his chest and took the lead. But five ghosts flew over and carried the altar.

The man in black was performing a ritual on the altar, and soon groups of evil spirits came from afar.

The man in black pointed to the Temple of the God of Wealth, and many evil spirits immediately rushed into the temple!
Sword lights flashed in the temple, and many evil spirits were killed one after another, but Li Tianqing was not eliminated.

The man in black frowned slightly when he saw this, and was about to break into the temple. Suddenly, the sound of Hei Guo was heard from the temple, and the man in black no longer hesitated, and jumped up from the altar. He performed some kind of magic in the air, shaking his black clothes, and flew into the air, just like a bat.

Chen Shi's mind moved slightly, and the Youquan Youlong Sword turned into a bird and flew up, following the man in black.

The man in black flew over Qingzhou City, suddenly fell into the city, and disappeared without a trace. Chen Shi frowned slightly and retracted the Youquan Youlong Sword.

At dawn, Li Tianqing woke up, stretched, yawned, and said with a smile: "Last night was the best sleep I've had in a while! I've been worried these days, afraid of being chopped, but after you came, Xiao Shi, I can sleep peacefully."

Chen Shi got up and told Li Tianqing what happened last night. Li Tianqing was shocked and didn't believe it.

Chen Shi took out Tiantingzhe's notes, and Li Tianqing looked through them.

Heiguo got up early and lit a fire in the yard to cook. Some Polygonatum sibiricum and Aconitum truncatum went to help light the fire. Polygonatum sibiricum pressed an Aconitum truncatum and wanted to move it under the stove. Aconitum truncatum yelled, and the two sides started fighting again.

Heiguo grabbed a Polygonatum sibiricum, cut a cut on its head, sliced ​​it and put it into the pot to make soup.

The Polygonatum sibiricum had half of its head chopped off and it cried loudly in fear. The other Polygonatum sibiricum and Aconitum tufts were also frightened and huddled in a corner, trembling in fear. Finally they calmed down.

After reading the notes, Li Tianqing said in a lost voice: "I have done so many outrageous things in the past few nights."

This matter was so outrageous that he couldn't believe it even after reading the Heaven Listener's Notes.

He walked back and forth, and suddenly stopped and said, "Why did the person who killed me want to kill me? Was I controlled by the will of Guandi and killed his relatives? No, no, the same night when Guandi controlled me, this person summoned evil spirits to kill me, which shows that I was not the one who killed his relatives."

Chen Shi pondered, "This person can control evil spirits. Could it be that because Guan Shengdijun killed those evil spirits, he provoked him and invited his revenge?"

Li Tianqing shook his head and said, "Because I killed the evil spirit, he wants to kill me? Could it be that the evil spirit was raised by him..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi said: "The Southern School's talismans can create evil spirits and control them!"

Li Tianqing said: "Qingzhou's harsh laws and punishments have led to a large number of evil spirits, so some people took advantage of the situation and released the southern evil spirits among these evil spirits!"

Chen Shi said: "You were controlled by the will of Guan Sheng Emperor and killed many evil spirits. You even killed the evil spirits that this person raised. You ruined his plan, so he wanted to get rid of you. But why did he raise evil spirits?"

Li Tianqing nodded and suddenly said, "How about you sleep tonight and I stay awake, then the will of Guan Sheng Emperor will control you. Let me see what happened."

Chen Shi also has a childish temperament and is eager to try.

The two hit it off.

Chen Shi continued to carve the small temple and draw talismans.

It was night again, and Chen Shi finished his dinner and went to bed early.

Li Tianqing concentrated his mind, activating the shrine behind his head, emitting divine light that illuminated the surroundings, waiting for midnight.

As midnight was approaching, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew, causing Li Tianqing to shiver. He thought to himself, "This cold wind doesn't seem to be from the gods, but rather carries the breath of the underworld!"

Chen Shi was sleeping when he suddenly saw Lord Wuwang coming out of the darkness. He was startled and asked, "Where did Lord Wuwang come from?"

Lord Wuwang greeted him and said, "I have been hiding from the ghosts and gods in the underworld these days and have nowhere to go. I thought I could hide here with the True King. I would like to ask the True King to take me in."

Chen Shi's face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "My Lord, you are so confused! Get out of here quickly, or something bad will happen!"

Lord Wuwang was puzzled when suddenly Chen Shi's dream cracked with a click, revealing an unfathomable abyss. At the bottom of the abyss was a vast ocean of consciousness with countless thoughts churning in the ocean.

Lord Wuwang was stunned as he saw extremely powerful and terrifying underworld demons climbing out from the abyss, with sharp claws, tentacles and tongues reaching out to him from afar!
Lord Wuwang had been avoiding the pursuit of the underworld gods and ghosts these days and was already exhausted. He thought he could hide in Chen Shi’s dream, but he didn’t expect that there were more demons and ghosts in Chen Shi’s sea of ​​consciousness than those chasing him!
He acted decisively, swung his pen and plunged it deeply into Chen Shi's dream to prevent him from being dragged into the abyss of his sea of ​​consciousness!

However, those sharp claws, tongues and tentacles had already wrapped around him, dragging him towards the abyss of his sea of ​​consciousness while climbing out along the abyss!

Lord Wuwang secretly groaned as he saw the first demon god was about to crawl out. Suddenly, a dragon roar was heard in Chen Shi’s dream. A knife flashed, and sharp claws, tentacles and tongues were cut off one after another!

Lord Wuwang got the chance and immediately broke free and escaped from Chen Shi’s dream!

He followed the direction of the knife light and saw a divine man with phoenix eyes, double brows and a face as red as a date walking towards him. He appeared in Chen Shi’s dream and slashed towards the abyss of his sea of ​​consciousness with a knife!

The demon in the abyss of the sea of ​​consciousness was knocked down, and the abyss suddenly closed.

Lord Wuwang did not dare to stay for a moment and fled, feeling extremely terrified: "What kind of monster is hidden in the body of the True King?"

Li Tianqing was looking at Chen Shi in doubt and surprise, when suddenly he saw a gust of cold wind blowing out from between Chen Shi's brows. Then Chen Shi stood up straight, which scared him.

"call--"

Chen Shi flew out of the hall.

Li Tianqing hurriedly followed and rushed out of the hall.

A red horse was galloping out of the underworld, treading on the fire of hell.

Chen Shi jumped onto the horse, and a green dragon circled around his body.

The Polygonatum sibiricum and Aconitum carmichaelii in the temple were used to this. They just took a look and fell asleep again.

Accompanied by a horse neighing and a flash of green light, Chen Shi rode away.

Li Tianqing rushed out immediately, but saw Chen Shi riding on a horse, killing his way forward like cutting melons and vegetables, and killing any evil spirits he saw along the way with one sword!

Li Tianqing tried his best to catch up, only to see Chen Shi riding his horse towards a county town under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou.

When he rushed to the county town, the city was already in chaos. The city gate was chopped off by a sword, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was cut in half. Someone in the city screamed, "The county magistrate is dead! The county magistrate was killed!"

The sound of hooves came towards him. Li Tianqing widened his eyes and saw Chen Shi sitting on the back of a red horse in the firelight, with Qinglong astride his horse and the county magistrate's head in his other hand, whizzing past.

Behind him, gold, silver, treasures and banknotes were flying around.

"It's exactly the same as what the Heaven Listener recorded!"

Li Tianqing hurriedly chased after him, but his cultivation level was much lower than Chen Shi's, so he could not catch up.

He simply went back to the Temple of the God of Wealth first, and waited until almost five o'clock in the morning when Chen Shi returned, threw the Qinglong Sword and the head to him, and fell asleep.

Li Tianqing settled Chen Shi down, activated the Wanli Flying Sword Technique, turned one of his hairpins into a fly, and flew out of the temple.

At five o'clock in the morning, the man in black arrived as promised and summoned the evil spirits to attack the small temple. After failing, he left in disappointment, but he did not notice a fly lying on his shoes.

After dawn, Chen Shi woke up and saw Li Tianqing washing clothes in the yard. He said, "You killed someone last night and there is blood all over your clothes. Take them off and I will help you wash them."

Chen Shi raised his hand and sniffed, and indeed smelled a scent of blood, so he quickly took it off.

Li Tianqing soaked his dirty clothes in water and said, "Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission and found the man's lair. You go wash up first. After I wash the clothes and have breakfast, you can go and see who he is!"

——I'm still stuck in the plot recently, sorry, the second chapter is updated late. I owe one chapter, so I'll make a note of it and make up for it later.
