On the Avenue.

Chapter 337 Reunion
Wei Yue rolled and tumbled dozens of miles away. He finally managed to stabilize himself and immediately rushed over here. He thought to himself, "Yang Bi wants to kill me. All the guards of the Twelve Yuanchen Halls have been replaced by his men. If I don't do this well, I'm afraid he will kill me! I can't let Huodou kill Chen Shi!"

His original injuries had not yet healed, and now he was slapped away by the evil spirit, causing further injuries.

He was extremely confused as to why the Huotou was not listening.

Huodou is a strange beast from the underworld. It is born with the realm of ghosts and gods, can control magic fire, and has amazing combat power.

This creature is closer to a demon and is extremely dangerous.

This evil spirit was originally crawling outside Chen Shiniang's Yuanchen Palace and had been sleeping all the time. It would only wake up when someone approached the Yuanchen Palace to stop the person from coming, and even ghosts and gods would be eaten.

After Wei Yue took charge of Xiandu, he always thought that Huo Dou was the guard left by King Yama to guard Chen Shiniang's mother and to deal with Chen Shi.

There are many such ghosts in the underworld, called prison guards, who are specifically responsible for guarding the prison to prevent anyone from breaking into it.

Therefore, Wei Yue ordered the ghosts and gods to quietly approach the evil spirit, tie it with chains, and control this huge monster. In the past few years, the evil spirit has always cooperated with them, but when they approach Chen Shiniang's Yuanchen Palace, the evil spirit will suddenly wake up and kill those who approach.

Whenever this happened, they would stick a special talisman on the monster's forehead to make it fall into a deep sleep.

The last time the boatman and his daughter kidnapped Chen Shiniang, many Yinchao followed the Huodou to capture them.

But this time Wei Yue felt something was a little different.

He suppressed his injuries and rushed over quickly, and was stunned when he saw the Huodou lowering its huge head to touch Chen Shiniang's palm.

"No. No! This Huodou is not the prison guard that the King of Hell uses to guard Chen Shiniang!"

He suddenly realized and cried out in pain, "This Huo Dou was guarding outside Chen Shiniang's Yuanchen Palace to protect her! They have known each other for a long time!"

He thought that the Huotou was the prison guard, and as long as he put a leash on it, he would become the new owner of the Huotou. But now it seems that it was just placed at the door to guard the house!
"Let go of the chains, let go of the chains!" Wei Yue shouted as he rushed over here.

At this moment, on the back of the Huotou, the hundreds of Yincha were still trying their best to pull the chains hard, trying to restrain the Huotou.

The huge monster suddenly became furious and shook its body violently, causing hundreds of ghost messengers to fly all over the sky.

Wei Yue was shocked. Without thinking, he turned around and fled far away. He thought to himself, "Yang Shaohu guessed wrong. Chen Shi doesn't need me to save him. The evil spirit rushed over to save him! It was a mistake to release the evil spirit!"

He fled, and the other ghosts also fled with him in panic.

Chen Shi stared at the scene blankly, shook his head, and thought to himself: "How can I confirm that this scene is real? Am I really not deceived by the evil spirit and changed my cognition?"

He knew very well how terrifying Black Pot's power was. The power of Huo Dou would be even more terrifying, and could even affect the present world!

He was afraid that he would be deceived by the scene before his eyes and think it was real. When he followed Huo Dou back home, he would find that all the beautiful things in front of him were fake, and he and his mother had already returned to prison!
This is what scares him the most.

"Shiji, is this scene true or false?" Chen Shi asked the Goddess Shiji in the small temple.

Niangniang Shiji twitched twice and said nothing.

Black Pot looked up at the Huo Dou with a puzzled look on his face. The Huo Dou was many times bigger than it, and the aura it emitted was even stronger. Black Pot's body in the underworld was also extremely large, but compared to the Huo Dou, it was still a tiny creature.

The Huotou stuck out its scarlet tongue and licked its face twice, covering its head and face with saliva.

"It's my father." Hei Guo thought to himself.

"Maybe it's my mother." It thought again.

It felt a familiar scent, the scent of its closest relatives that it had smelled since birth.

Chen Shi looked at this huge monster and wondered how the monster could know his mother, and how could his grandfather bring the blame home?
The Huodou seemed to sense his thoughts, and its huge eyes burning with devilish fire turned and fell on him.

Chen Shi's eyes met these eyes, and suddenly the scene around him changed. Huge mountains were intertwined, and sharp peaks grew in all directions. His perspective became that of Huo Dou, fighting with extremely powerful beings in this extremely dangerous environment.

It was pregnant and surrounded by enemies. It finally managed to break out, but it was covered in wounds and was at the end of its strength.

The enemy's target is the child in its belly.

A powerful adult Huotou is indeed powerful, but it will never recognize its master. This life form between ghosts and demons has a unique pride. Even if it is killed, it will not submit to other creatures.

But a newly born Huo Dou will become the best servant of ghosts and gods.

Therefore, these enemies are after the unborn little evil spirit in its belly. They want to kill it, take away its child, and become the master of its child!

It was dying and gave birth to a cub when it was seriously injured. It licked the blood on the little Hutou's body and was determined to bite the little Hutou to death.

This is the rule of their tribe. They will never allow their sons to become slaves.

At this time, an old man who was also covered with bruises dragged his tired body and passed by here.

The old man came to the underworld alone to look for his relatives, but he was beaten and his life was hanging by a thread.

"Huo Dou, I want to make a deal with you."

Although the old man was dying, he was still full of energy and shouted, "I will protect your son, take him to the world of the living, and raise him. And you stay in the underworld and protect someone for me. When your son grows up, he will come back to you!"

Huodou's powerful spirit saw through the old man's thoughts and felt his openness.

The two desperate people reached a deal at this moment.

The tired old man brought the little Huotou back to the world of the living, and after Huotou recovered a little strength, he also set off for Xiandu.

It found the Yuanchen Palace where Chen Shiniang was imprisoned, crawled down and guarded there.

The scene in front of Chen Shi suddenly changed, and the northern ice field came into view again.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew and the evil spirit disappeared.

The black pot barked incessantly and rushed into the underworld, but did not find the culprit.

After a while, it returned to the world of the living, looking a little lost, and said to Chen Shi: "Woof..."

"It may be worried that your captors will find you."

Chen Shi guessed, "Those people are probably very powerful in the underworld, and they are probably not from the Thirteenth Family. Also, the black pot, it's not your father, it's your mother."

Black Pot said: "Woof?"

Chen Shi said, "I'm sure." Hei Guo said doubtfully, "Woof woof."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know where your father is."

He still asked his mother to return to the small temple and continue on their journey. This time without the pursuit of ghosts and gods, Chen Shi and Hei Guo were much more relaxed.

"Black Pot, you stole the ghost book from the Yuanchen Palace. Whose Yuanchen Palace is that?"

Chen Shi asked, "Could it be your father's Yuanchen Palace?"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"How would I know if Huodou has a Yuanchen Palace? You go there to steal books, don't you know whose Yuanchen Palace it is?"

"Wang."

……

Huangpo Village, Qianyang Mountain, Xinxiang Province.

Chen Tang had been home for a few days. He cleaned the room, visited Chen Yindu's grave, and went to Huangtupo to thank his teacher Zhu Xiucai for teaching Chen Shi so well and making him the top scorer in the imperial examination. Zhu Xiucai was extremely surprised when he heard about this.

Zhu Xiucai confirmed with him several times before he was sure that Chen Shi had indeed won the top spot.

"The world is really as bad as I expected!"

As Chen Tang walked down the Huangpo Hill, he heard his mentor's cynical voice coming from the hill, "The Ming Dynasty is over!"

Chen Tang went to pay respects to the big snake Xuanshan, Granny Zhuang and other mountain spirits.

Everyone was very enthusiastic when they saw him come back, but when they heard that Chen Shi had passed the imperial examination and become the top scorer in Xijing, they all fell silent and stammered.

Chen Tang thought this was a matter of honor to his family, so he was very proud of it and didn't pay attention to these things.

These past few days, he couldn't allow himself to relax. Perhaps it was because he was used to working hard, or maybe he was too worried about Chen Shi, so once he had some free time, he would start to think about all sorts of things.

He forced himself to be busy, repairing all the old furniture in the house, painting the walls, renovating the tiles, repairing the road in front of the door, and cleaning every day.

He would also go to the mountains to catch exotic animals and use their meat to feed Chen Shi's wooden cart. In just a few days, the cart became shiny and glossy.

He also bought black dog blood and traced the talismans on the car and the canopy over and over again.

If it were in the past, he would not help Chen Shi do these things, but now he has to keep himself busy.

Four days ago, Grandma Sha returned to Gangzi Village. He went to see Grandma Sha, but Grandma Sha had no news about Chen Shi. She only told him for sure that Chen Shi was still alive.

Two days ago, on his first day in office, the newly appointed County Magistrate Hu rushed to the village to visit Doctor Ronglu and offer him his monthly salary from the court.

And yesterday, a pleasure boat appeared on the Yudai River outside the village. The boatwoman and the boatman were fishing on the river. When he heard about it, he rushed over to ask. The boatwoman only said that she had rescued them. As for whether they could escape the pursuit of the evildoers, that was not clear.

Last night, Chen Tang didn't sleep all night, and was always worried.

That day, he untied the reins of the cart and let it go out for a stroll. He then pushed Chen Shiniang out to bask in the sun and helped her stretch her body and exercise her muscles.

Before they parted, Chen Shi passed the Tai Shang Ri Yue Hun Yuan Sutra to him and asked him to help Chen Shi's mother practice. He had not dared to slack off for even a single day during these days and had already refined his wife's golden elixir to the ninth level, and his accumulation was becoming more and more powerful.

He practiced for his wife, and the golden elixir entered his body and led the fire back to its origin, allowing his wife to still sit in a wheelchair.

After this practice, his wife's hair became a little messy again. He took out a comb and combed his wife's hair carefully.

"Ayu, we have been away from home for a long time. Yuzhu has grown up, and Grandma Yuzhu has also grown old. Many people have grown old. When you come back, you will be surprised to see many new faces in the village, the children of the village. When we were in the village, they were still little, but now we can hardly recognize them. Only godmother has not changed."

Chen Tang said as he combed her hair, "Xiao Shi named her godmother Sang Yu, but it's obviously not a mulberry tree or an elm tree. I think our son may not be as knowledgeable as I thought."

He was talking to himself, and suddenly fell silent for a moment, and whispered: "Ayu, I miss you."

His tears fell on the back of his hand.

"I've missed you for ten years. Although your body is here, I can't feel you. These years, I always feel that I am alone. Ayu, please come back. Our son has been found. Please come back soon..."

He had been strong all his life. He was a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, with a firm heart and a calm expression. He never lost his composure even when facing the civil and military officials in the court. But now, for some reason, he showed weakness when facing his wife.

At this time, the voice of the villagers came from the village: "...are you back?"

"I heard that you passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer..."

"Grandma Yuzhu, from now on, call me Master Zhuangyuan! Yuzhu, when I come back this time, I will bully you!"

Chen Tang's heart trembled when he heard a powerful voice. Just as he was about to go out, he remembered something and hurriedly wiped away his tears.

He was just about to push his wife to meet Chen Shi when suddenly, his wife in the wheelchair raised her hand and grabbed his right hand.

Chen Tang was stunned.

"A Tang..."

The wife's voice came, a little weak, "Atang, I found my son, and he took me home."

Chen Tang burst into tears as he squatted in front of his wife, gently holding her hands and looking up at her face.

The person he had been dreaming about finally came back, back into this body.

"Yes. Our family is finally reunited." He said softly.

His wife Wu Qingyu felt the warmth coming from his palms and felt peace in her heart.

Eleven years.

This family has been broken for eleven years. The couple and Chen Shi have experienced many ups and downs, many dangers, and many separations and deaths.

Today, the family of three is finally reunited.
