On the Avenue.

Chapter 281 Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed

Chen Shi walked around Saint Xuan and came behind her. He picked up clothes from the chair and put them on one by one. He said, "Xuan Xuan, what are you doing here?"

Saint Xuan turned around, watched him put on his clothes, and said with a smile: "It has been half a year since we parted at Da Nanhu. You and I are old friends, so can't I come to visit you if I have nothing to do? What were you practicing just now?"

Chen Shi tied his belt and said, "I had a fight with my father. I couldn't beat him, so I practiced more. I couldn't practice at home, and the only place I could go was Guangjiku, so I practiced in Guangjiku. What I just performed was the body refining method in the Xiaojieyundu Jue."

This time, he comprehended the various body-refining methods in the True King's Tomb, found out the fighting methods among them, and after understanding them thoroughly, he tried them one by one here.

Saint Xuan cried out in amazement, "Minor Tribulation Skill? That is the secret of the Li family's Yi'antang Collection! It is a method that can only be practiced by the lineage of the Li family's patriarch! How did you learn it?"

Chen Shi was surprised and asked, "The Li family also has this technique?"

Saint Xuan nodded repeatedly and said, "The Li family will never pass this technique on to others. Even if it is accidentally passed on, we will try our best to take it back! Do you know how to take it back?"

She said solemnly, "A practitioner must be crushed to dust, his body and soul destroyed, until his soul is shattered! If anyone else sees this technique, not only will their eyes be gouged out, but their brains and hearts will also be gouged out, to prevent it from being leaked!"

Chen Shi was extremely surprised: "Is it that serious?"

Saint Xuan's face became even more serious, as if she had committed a serious crime, and she said, "Where did you steal it from? Repent!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "My little calamity-saving technique was not obtained from the Li family, but was passed down from generation to generation."

Saint Xuan was furious: "Your family tradition? You're still stubborn! When you're beaten to death by the Li family's ancestor, let's see if you'll still be stubborn!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "It's really a family tradition. The techniques in my family's Ten Books on Cultivation can be practiced to the Ascension Realm. In addition to this technique, there are nine other similar techniques."

Saint Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and she said with a stammer, "It seems that the Li family's "Minor Tribulation Skill" can only be cultivated to the Mahayana realm..."

Chen Shi said happily: "That's fine! My family's small calamity skill must have nothing to do with his family's small calamity skill."

Saint Xuan immediately became worried about him.

The secret of the Li family's patriarch can only be cultivated to the Mahayana realm, but Chen Shi can be cultivated to the Ascension realm. If the Li family knew about this, how could they tolerate him?

"The body refining in the Minor Tribulation Skill is actually not that good. It can only be considered second-rate, not as good as the Nine Heavens Tempering in the Xiaolang Emperor Chapter that I practiced."

Chen Shi said, "I practice this method just because I think that I can learn from others' experience. Since this skill will cause trouble, I will not practice it in front of others."

"Second rate?"

Saint Xuan was greatly shocked. Could it be that the body-refining method of the Minor Tribulation Skill could only be considered second-rate?
She didn't know that before she came, Chen Shi also practiced the golden body of Peacock King in the Precious Moonlight Peacock King Mantra, the body of the Supreme Vajra Vehicle in the Great Sutra of the King of Teachings, and the golden body achieved by the Ten Mahaparamita Dharmas in the Sutra of the Glorious Bodhicitta.

And these three skills are all the top golden body skills in the Bodhi Temple!
In Chen Shi’s mind, these three golden body techniques are still only second-rate.

Saint Xuan suppressed her shock and said, "Chen Shi, you killed Shen Hongniang, who was under the young master's command. This has already offended the young master."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "No."

Saint Xuan said, "Mrs. Shen Hongniang is a fat woman who habitually sits in a sedan chair. She arranged for the people from the Hongniang Society to buy many pregnant women and cattle and sheep to ambush you on the road."

Chen Shi suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So it was them. Yes, I killed them. Were you sent by the government?"

Saint Xuan shook her head and said, "No. I came to tell you that this time, the young master will definitely win the first prize. Since you killed Shen Hongniang, you are in the wrong. Don't compete with the young master for the first prize."

Chen Shi wondered, "Why can't I compete with him for the top prize if I kill Shen Hongniang?"

Saint Xuan stared at him and asked, "You don't agree?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I disagree."

Saint Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If you don't agree, I can't change your mind, so I have to go back and report. I'm leaving now!"

She turned around and was about to leave, but Chen Shi stopped her and said, "I don't agree, why don't you try to force me?"

Saint Xuan smiled and said, "How can I force you?"

Chen Shi suggested: "Break my legs, or severely damage my Nascent Soul, or poison me, or use some other means to make it impossible for me to compete with you, young master."

Saint Xuan looked into his eyes, which were gleaming with excitement and eagerness, as if he wanted to find someone to fight. Suddenly, she felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen and the back of her head, and said quickly, "We Buddhists believe in fate. Since you don't agree, how can I force you? I'm leaving!"

She turned and left, and Chen Shi's regretful sigh was heard behind her.

Saint Xuan stopped walking. Chen Shi saw her stop and couldn't help showing anticipation. He smiled and said, "Xuan Xuan has changed your mind? I can let you get ready first and then we can have another fight. Didn't you say last time that I didn't give you a chance to attack? I'll give you a chance this time!"

He had been taught a lesson several times by Chen Tang in the past few days. Each time, his moves were interrupted by Chen Tang before they could fully exert their power. He deeply understood the pain that Saint Xuan felt when she first met him.

Saint Xuan turned around and said loudly, "Donor Chen, I'm donating my body to you. Can you please not fight for the top prize?"

They were more than ten feet apart, and the voice reached Chen Shi's ears. Chen Shi couldn't help but ask loudly: "What is physical donation?"

Saint Xuan said loudly: "It means I will pledge myself to you!"

Chen Shi said loudly: "I don't agree! I still want to fight for the top scholar! I want to fight for the country scholars! And I don't lack wives! I have saved a lot of money, and I can marry many wives when I return home! Xuanxuan, thank you!"

Saint Xuan said loudly: "I know! If someone invites you to go to Xiaojinhua Temple, don't go!"

Chen Shi shouted, "Okay! I won't go!"

Saint Xuan said loudly: "I'm going back, you continue to practice!"

She waved, and Chen Shi also waved.

Saint Xuan left Guangjiku with a smile on her chubby face.

Walking on the post road outside Guangjiku, the wind blew, and the dandelions on the roadside danced in the wind, spinning and floating into the sky.

She looked up at the flying dandelions, and tears flowed down her face like broken strings.

At this moment, she knew what it felt like to be in love.

Sadly, it has been rejected.

She didn't want to stay in Xijing anymore, she wanted to return to the Bodhi Temple.

She wanted to go back and tell Master Miaoyin that she now understood what it felt like to be in love, and also understood why cutting off this relationship would improve her Buddhist practice.

But Master, the other party is not moved, only you are moved. What should I do?
Master, please teach me how to cut it off? Chen Shi took off his clothes and continued to practice, continuing to try out various unique body-refining methods from the True King's Tomb to temper his body.

To him, Saint Xuan's confession was just a distraction from his practice, and he quickly forgot about it, his mind was pure and there was no more distraction. - Of course, he didn't know it was a confession.

There are many kinds of unique skills in the True King's Tomb, and various body-refining methods have their own strengths. It does not mean that low-level skills have no merits.

However, Emperor Xiaolang's achievements are not perfect and also have their flaws.

The purpose of Chen Shi's practice this time is to temper every aspect of himself to the extreme, so that his body can reach the level of the Tao body mentioned in the Xiaolang Emperor's chapter. With this Tao body, he can break Chen Tang's advantage of anticipating the enemy and drive him out of the main hall!
In the afternoon, he heard Heiguo's cry and stopped, and brought the fire back to its source.

The six layers of sky gradually retracted behind his head and entered his body. The muscles and fascia of his entire body were constantly beating and pulsating. The divine light shone all over his body, and his skin and body were like beautiful jade.

After a while, the strange phenomenon gradually disappeared and everything returned to normal.

This is to lead the fire back to its origin.

Even when practicing immortal techniques such as the Xiaolang Emperor's Chapter, this step cannot be skipped.

Chen Shi put on his clothes, fetched a bucket of water from the well in Guangjiku, washed his face, got on the wooden cart, and drove towards Xijing.

It was not yet dark, and the wind blew some dandelions up into the sky.

Chen Shi looked at the flying dandelions, and his mind flew along with them: "Try again tonight. Even if I can't beat Chen Tang out, I can still sleep well."

"Brother, brother, can you give me a ride?" A young Taoist stood on the side of the road, waved to him with a smile on his face.

Chen Shi stopped the car and said, "It's Yu Lingzi. Where are you going, Taoist?"

The young Taoist was surprised and asked, "Brother, do you recognize me?"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "When you entered the city with the young master, you sat on the lotus platform of the sika deer, and I was watching from below. There was a passerby next to me who called out the Taoist's name."

Yu Lingzi smiled and said, "I see. I'm planning to go to Xijing City. Is it on the way?"

Chen Shi happily said, "It's on the way, Taoist, please get in the car."

The wooden cart was quite high, so he had to climb up. Chen Shi stretched out his hand, and Yu Lingzi pulled his hand. The two of them exerted their strength, and Yu Lingzi was pulled onto the cart. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Chen is really strong."

Chen Shi looked at his hands that had turned white from being squeezed, and said with a smile, "The Taoist is quite strong."

Black Pot obediently jumped off the wooden cart and ran in front of the cart. It assessed the situation and felt that it would be bad if it stayed on the cart, so it got off early.

Yu Lingzi sat cross-legged opposite Chen Shi and looked at him.

Chen Shi responded with a smile.

The wooden cart moved slowly and gradually accelerated.

Yu Lingzi smiled and said, "Brother Chen, do you know my Taihua Qing Palace?"

Chen Shi said: "I have heard of it. It is said to be a holy place of Taoism, but I don't know much about it."

Yu Lingzi said, "Back then, the eunuch Sanbao led the fleet of treasure ships of the Great Ming Dynasty and sailed into the dark sea. My Taihua Qing Palace was already on the ship at that time, with a total of 18 Taoists. The 18 Taoists of Taihua Qing Palace followed the eunuch Sanbao to land on Xiniu New Island. They saw that this place was full of evil spirits and demons. The 18 Taoists asked for the tablet of the ancestor, established the Three Pure Ones Taoist lineage, and asked the ancestor to come and fight side by side with the soldiers of the Great Ming Dynasty. Three years later, only three of the 18 Taoists were left."

He talked about the history of Taihua Qing Palace, saying: "The three Taoists were covered in blood. They fought their way into the most evil place in Xiniu Xinzhou, annihilated all the demons, and set up the tablet of the founder on an unknown barren mountain, guarding the barren mountain for forty-nine days. During these forty-nine days, countless demons and evil spirits came to the mountain to wash it with blood. But they still managed to defend it. Later, Emperor Chengzu rewarded and named this mountain, named West Taihua Mountain, and made it the holy place of our Taoist Taihua Qing Palace."

Chen Shi's blood boiled when he heard this, and he wished he could go back to the past and witness the eighteen Taoists annihilating the demons.

Yu Lingzi said: "Taihua also has a history. Taihua Mountain is also called Huashan Mountain. It was originally the Western Peak among the Five Mountains of China. The Taoist sect built the Qing Palace on Taihua Mountain. Therefore, our Taihua Qing Palace is a branch of the Chinese Taoist sect. The Qing Palace Taoist priests of all generations dare not forget their roots."

Chen Shi praised: "The Taihua lineage has been passed down from generation to generation, which is admirable."

Yu Lingzi said: "Taihua Qing Palace knows that demons and evil spirits are always ready to make a comeback, so we Taoists practice day and night, ready to subdue demons and defend the Dao at any time. The ability of Taihua Qing Palace to subdue demons is unique in Xiniu Xinzhou. I heard that there is a demon in Brother Chen's sea of ​​consciousness, which broke out in Gongzhou and endangered the people of Gongzhou. If Brother Chen is willing to go to Taihua Qing Palace with me, Taihua Qing Palace will do its best to remove all the demons in your body!"

Chen Shi asked, "How many days does it take to get to Taihua Qing Palace?"

"It won't take too long. We can arrive in fourteen or fifteen days."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "In that case, after the joint examination and palace examination are over, I will go to Taihua Qing Palace with the Taoist priest."

Yu Lingzi shook his head and sighed, "There will be no such opportunity after the palace examination. Brother Chen, there is only one chance, and that is today."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Then I have no choice but to give up this opportunity."

Yu Lingzi frowned slightly and said patiently: "There are not many people in this world who can help you remove the demon in your body, not even the Thirteenth Family. Even my Taihua Qing Palace must respectfully invite the tablet of the ancestor to be able to help you subdue the demon. This opportunity is extremely rare!"

Chen Shi was very sincere and said, "Master, I don't understand one thing. Since Taihua Qing Palace is a holy place of Taoism, quiet and peaceful, why do you want to be a lobbyist for the young master?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Lingzi knew that he had guessed his intention, and he did not hide it, saying seriously: "Brother Chen, it's not that I want to be a lobbyist for you, but the world needs you now! I think you have also seen that the current government has been corrupt for a long time, the countryside is out of balance, evil spirits are rampant, the court is powerless, and the people are poor and weak! My Taoist sect senses that the fortune of Xiniu Island is getting worse day by day! Xiniu Island needs a true king and a revolution to change the situation! Now is the time for a change in the world..."

When he said this, his face changed slightly, and he snapped his fingers. The Sky Listeners in the wilderness turned into wood one after another, branches grew out of their heads, sprouted, and soon turned into towering trees.

Yu Lingzi's eyes flickered: "What do you mean by heaven changing? It means the heavens are changing! It means the true gods outside the heavens are changing! Now is our best opportunity. Take advantage of the changing heavens to select a true king, eliminate the accumulated evils, get rid of the shackles, and restore the prosperity of the True King era! This person..."

Chen Shi interrupted him and said calmly, "Why can't this person be me?"

Yu Lingzi's eyes turned cold: "Your last name is not Zhu."

He paused, and said, "If your surname is not Zhu, you will not be able to gather the people's hearts. Thirteen rebel kings will rebel against you, and all kinds of ambitious people will bewitch the people and establish themselves as kings, which will cause chaos in the world!"

He said passionately, "For the sake of the people of the world, please give up the fight for the top prize, Brother Chen!"

Chen Shi tapped the side of the wooden cart with his fingers, tap, tap, one time after another, neither fast nor slow, as if he was tapping on his heart, making the same sound as his heartbeat.

"Yu Lingzi, why don't you have confidence in the young master? Do you think he can't defeat me and win the top prize?"

His fingers paused, and he looked directly into Yu Lingzi's eyes, "Since he is the man of destiny, why is he afraid of me?"

Chen Shi leaned back and said, "If you can't even defeat me, how can you be qualified to rule the world and change fate?"

Yu Lingzi's face darkened: "You have already killed Shen Hongniang, it's time to back down."

Chen Shi shook his head: "Shen Hongniang, I want to kill you. Young Master, I want to kill you too. There is no room for maneuver. Taoist, please go back."
