On the Avenue.

Chapter 453: Good and Evil as One

The two elders of the Xia family supported each other and left Yang Street without looking back.

Xia Canghai woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly followed the two elders. Xia Yihang said, "We are fine. Canghai, go find Xuanming!"

Xia Canghai flew away in a hurry.

Not long after, Xia Canghai, Xia Yihang, Xia Min and Xia Xuanming came to the study room of the Xia Mansion. Xia Min sat down with difficulty and saw the "Later Departure to the Capital" copied by Xia Xuanming on the desk.

What is difficult to resolve is the matter.

For some reason, these words seemed so glaring.

"Who are these people?"

Xia Yihang's eyes showed fear, and he murmured, "Why have I never heard of such a group of people before? Their strength is probably not inferior to that of our ancestors!"

"They should be the evil scattered people."

Xia Min thought for a moment and said, "I heard that seven hundred years ago, a genius appeared in the Xia family. He was very talented, but because he was a concubine's son, he was not taken seriously. This person later left the Xia family and became a wanderer. The Xia family leader at that time had a grudge against him, so this person came back to take revenge and severely injured the leader to avenge the humiliation of that year. Another hundred years later, the leader passed away, and he came to pay his respects. His appearance was the same as when he left that year, without any signs of aging. Another two hundred years later, someone saw him in Qingzhou and called himself a wandering immortal. In the next few hundred years, many people from the Xia family also saw him. My father said that this person acted extreme, practiced evil methods, and entered the devil's way. He has become an evil spirit and is no longer a human being."

When everyone heard this, they felt awe-inspiring.

Xia Xuanming asked tentatively, "You mean to say that those who came to look for Chen Shi were all evil scattered people?"

"Probably."

Xia Min said, "Perhaps we can deal with these people only if we ask the underworld for help. But now our Xia family is not as powerful as before, so we should not bother with it. Chen Shi is going to Beilai City to buy shoes, so let him buy them. Send this plague god away as soon as possible and don't create any more trouble."

Everyone nodded, but they all felt aggrieved.

The Xia family, one of the thirteen aristocratic families, has been a powerful family since the time of the True King. Has there ever been a time when someone blocked their door and they dared not speak out?

Feng Ruotong and the high priest were still sitting at the table, motionless.

Both of them felt like they were in a dilemma. They had fought each other once before, but the result was a draw. Both of them were seriously injured. Over the years, neither of them was sure to win. Both of them had the upper hand, but the gap was not big. If they acted rashly, neither of them could be sure to win.

In the teahouse nearby, the evil spirit was growing stronger and stronger.

The two even sensed a strange aura spreading out from the teahouse and gradually expanding outward.

This kind of dojo is similar to the devil's domain formed by magic transformation. The devil's domain assimilates everything into the devil way. It takes a hundred days to complete the magic transformation. When this devil's dojo is spread out, it actually affects the great Dao of heaven and earth in just a short moment.

Black Pot itself is a strange creature that is half demon and half ghost. He has the most acute senses and feels like a fish in water in this dojo without any discomfort.

In the past, when it stayed in the world of the living, it could only be an ordinary dog, and at most it could influence the consciousness of other people. Only when it came to the underworld could it transform into a vicious dog and kill everyone. But in this magic arena, it felt that it could exert its full strength, or even higher.

Everyone in the Divine Capital also noticed something strange.

They only felt that the restless evil energy in their bodies suddenly became extremely active, but it was not as evil and chaotic as before, growing irregularly. At this time, the evil energy seemed to follow some strange rules, becoming orderly and obedient.

For the first time, they felt like they had mastered the way of magic!

In the past, they had tried their best to control their own evil spirits, so as not to be completely controlled by them and turn into monsters that only knew how to kill. They could only stay in the underworld and could not often go to the world of the living, otherwise they would be stimulated by the yang energy of the world of the living and involuntarily become evil.

And now, they have a feeling of being extremely comfortable and breathing freely.

"This is the true path of evil." A Taoist sighed.

The others nodded and looked at Chen Shi in the teahouse, unable to hide their excitement.

Real magic power can solve the hidden dangers in each of them. How can they not be excited?
Feng Ruotong snorted coldly, and a beam of fairy light shot up into the sky behind him, ready to destroy Chen Shi’s magic dojo!
He also noticed the influence of Chen Shi's magic temple on these disasters. He knew that the magic skills created by Chen Shi were extraordinary, so he did not bother to stalemate with the high priest and wanted to destroy Chen Shi's temple and kill him!

But at the moment when the fairy light burst out behind him, the high priest laughed loudly, and the tea table flew into the air. The two people and the dog were still sitting beside the tea table and flew into the sky!
The high priest thrust out a finger and pierced Feng Ruotong's heart!

At the same time, fairy light burst out from two fingers of Feng Ruotong's left hand and hit the throat of the high priest!
The two men each seized the opportunity at this moment and attacked without mercy. Feng Ruotong took the first step to kill Chen Shi. He was originally at a disadvantage as he was shot through the heart by the high priest. However, because the high priest wanted to save Chen Shi, he moved the tea table and wasted this opportunity.

The two men attacked almost at the same time and were injured at the same time!

But because the High Priest was in Chen Shi's magic temple when he made his move, he got help from Chen Shi's temple and sorted out the evil spirit in his body. He gained a great advantage invisibly. He stabbed out with one finger, and with a click, broke one of Feng Ruotong's ribs. The force of his finger went straight through his heart, almost piercing his heart!

The fairy light from Feng Ruotong's two fingers pierced into the throat of the high priest, which should have chopped off his head, but it only cut a big gash in his neck.

The flesh and blood on the neck of the chief priest squirmed rapidly, stitching together and becoming one, and he said with a smile: "Friend Feng, this time it's not good for you!"

Feng Ruotong flew away without thinking, turning into a ray of fairy light that broke through the air!

Although the High Priest was only slightly stronger than usual by borrowing the power of Chen Shi's dojo, this tiny difference was enough to determine the victory or defeat between the two.

He was more seriously injured, so he escaped immediately.

The chief priest laughed loudly and turned into a streak of green light, following closely behind him. His voice came from afar: "Feng Daoist friend, don't leave. I will see you off. We will see you in the next life!"

It's a rare opportunity for him to gain the upper hand, so he must take this opportunity to get rid of Feng Ruotong, his powerful rival!
The two left one after the other and disappeared into the horizon.

All that was left in the air was the tea table, three chairs, and a black pot sitting next to the table.

The dog poured himself a cup of tea, picked it up to drink, but his paws were trembling and he couldn't put them to his lips for a long time.

"boom!"

The sky in the distance was shaking violently, and immortal light and demonic light burst out. It should be that the high priest caught up with Feng Ruotong, and the two of them were fighting again!
This fight is a life-and-death struggle between two immortals, and it is bound to be extremely exciting.

Hei Guo trembled as he brought the teacup to his lips and finally took a sip of water.

The tea table and the dog fell downwards, and in the teahouse below, Chen Shi's dojo became stronger and stronger, covering a wider and wider range.

At this moment, in Beilai City, not only did the people in Shendu feel that their own evil changes were affected, but the merchants in Yangjie, the people who were shopping, and even the ghosts who were waiting for the sale, also felt that a strange force was enveloping them and affecting them.

Some people who were sick and tortured by evil spirits suddenly felt refreshed, and their illnesses seemed to have left them.

Shen Shen's body was also twisting, the squirming flesh under the skin was gradually shrinking, and the shape was also changing. Soon, it changed from a hideous behemoth to a mountain-like Feng Xi, with a big head and a small butt. It sat on the ground stupidly, unaware of what was happening. This kind of ghost was originally a Feng Xi that had undergone an evil change. In the past, something happened in Xiniu Xinzhou. The sun and the moon went out one after another, evil spirits invaded, and the world changed. In order to survive, the merchants and the strange beasts on this continent also gradually changed.

At this moment, Chen Shi's magic field was spread out. They were surrounded by the purest magic, sorting out the evil energy in their bodies and changing back to their original form.

The range covered by Chen Shi's Taoist temple became wider and wider, radiating from Yang Street and gradually covering Beilai City. Even the people of the Xia family were covered by the Taoist temple.

At this moment, almost everyone noticed the changes in themselves, mortals and monks alike.

In the study of the Xia Mansion, Xia Min, the ancestor of the Xia family, stared blankly at his hands, his lips trembling, and murmured: "Cang Hai, the evil energy in my body is gradually calming down..."

Xia Yihang was offering sacrifices to his own spirit to check the extent of his evil transformation.

As long as a cultivator practices, he will become evil, it is just a matter of degree. There is no possibility of not becoming evil.

Since the first stage of cultivation, when refining essence into qi, the seeds of evil have been planted in the body, quietly taking root and sprouting.

When one cultivates to the Divine Fetus realm, the True God from outer space will grant one a Divine Fetus to suppress the evil spirit and greatly reduce the speed of evil transformation.

However, as the realm is raised and the cultivation is profound, in the fusion realm, evil changes will occur because the connection between the physical body and the outside world is opened. Fortunately, there are the God Descending Realm and the Refining Void Realm before the fusion realm. These two realms can allow the divine fetus to return to the true god outside the sky, and use the power of the true god outside the sky to comprehend the great way of heaven and earth and suppress evil changes again.

However, when a cultivator reaches the Mahayana stage, the evil energy in his body accumulates to the point where it is difficult to suppress even at the divine fetus stage. Fortunately, at this point, the cultivator only has a lifespan of a hundred years, and there is no realm beyond the Mahayana stage, so the cultivator can often live out his life in peace and die of old age.

However, the patriarch of the Xia family often relies on elixirs to prolong his life, allowing himself to live for two hundred or three hundred years, which leads to increasingly obvious signs of evil changes in his body.

This change tortures them all the time.

Only now, the torture stopped.

Chen Shi showed them another possibility, a possibility of absorbing the evil energy of heaven and earth and transforming it into one's own Taoism!
Although this path is a demonic path, it will not be controlled by the demonic path and turn into evil, but rather it is a form of cultivation.

Outside the teahouse, Dao Chengzi was also among the crowd of people from the capital. Among the three monks, Taoists and Confucianists who had just injured the two elders of the Xia family, the Taoist priest was him.

At this moment, Dao Chengzi was also looking down at his hands, feeling the surging magic energy in his body and the joyful flow of magic. This was a different feeling from the last time he stepped into Chen Shi's Yin-Yang Transformation.

The last time he stepped into Chen Shi's Taoist temple, he felt that the evil spirit in his body had completely disappeared, and he had returned to being a cultivator who cultivated righteous energy. The feeling was so wonderful that it made him cry.

Now, he felt that he had truly entered the path of magic, practiced the path of magic, and was a true magic cultivator. The evil transformation was only a means, not a result. This change also shocked him inexplicably.

Before, he had no choice, but now, he had two choices.

He could continue on the path of evil to test whether this path could lead to immortality, or he could return to the right path and become the Supreme Patriarch of the Qingyang Palace in Taihua.

"High Priest, do you really have ulterior motives?"

He thought silently in his heart, "If the High Priest returns, will he take the Divine Emperor with him? Which of these two paths will he choose?"

At this time, Song Yi, the son of the Confucian Emperor, came to his side, and said with emotion: "From today on, the Capital of Gods and Despair Hill no longer need to exist."

Dao Chengzi's heart trembled slightly, and he looked towards him, meeting Song Yi's gaze.

The two of them were in perfect sync and knew each other's thoughts.

The Hill of Despair was created to protect the orthodoxy of the true God from outer space, and the Capital of Gods was created to bring evil to the world.

Chen Shi supplemented the magic skills and realized the Yin-Yang transformation, making the righteous and the evil ways a choice rather than a fight for life and death. The God's Capital and Despair Hill no longer had any need to exist.

“But when it comes to power, neither the High Priest nor the Lord of Despair Hill will allow the gods to collapse,” said a monk on the side.

This monk was a monk among the monks, Taoists and Confucianists. He was one of them and injured the two elders of the Xia family. His Buddhist name was Huikong and he was the seventeenth Bodhi Master of the Bodhi Temple.

"As long as Emperor Chen demonstrates these two skills, the City of Gods will inevitably split!" Song Yi, the son of the Confucian Emperor, said decisively.

Dao Chengzi said: "Therefore, killing Chen Shenhuang would be the best solution."

Huikong Bodhi said: "Despair Hill would think so too."

The three of them remained silent.

Dao Chengzi was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "I have a righteous heart and will not let this happen."

Huikong Bodhi smiled and said, "I am the same."

The two looked at the Confucian Emperor's son Song Yi. Song Yi hesitated and said, "I will follow the goddess."

The three of them smiled at each other. Although the devil was running in their bodies, they chose the righteous path.

"I really want to see the scene where the Divine Emperor Chen demonstrates these two techniques and the immortal's heart of Taoism collapses on Despair Hill."

Dao Chengzi licked his lips and said viciously, "These old guys have been hunting us down for too long!"

Huikong Bodhi smiled and said, "Daoyou, you are obsessed with appearances, you have been invaded by the devil, and you have become devilish."

Dao Chengzi laughed loudly and said jokingly, "I want to see what the scene will be like when the great monk becomes a demon Buddha, how unorthodox he is. I wonder if the Bodhisattvas of the Bodhi Dharma Field will be able to eliminate the demons and defend the Way."

Huikong Bodhi was quite moved by what he said, but then he thought that he was influenced by the devil and had such thoughts, and they were not real thoughts, so his Taoism determination stabilized.

In the teahouse, Chen Shi was still sitting cross-legged, and more memories of those eight years were unlocked one after another.

In his memory, he had completed his dojo, and the high priest stood in his dojo, staring blankly at his hands.

"High Priest, I heard that many people are looking for me and making a big fuss in the underworld. Have you checked who these people are?" Chen Shi asked.

The chief priest retracted his gaze and smiled gently, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I have ordered people to investigate. It is the Heavenly Dao Walker of Despair Hill who is searching for your whereabouts and trying to eradicate the root of the problem. But please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have placed many restrictions on you. Even if I summon your soul, I will not be able to find your whereabouts."

"That's good, that's good." Chen Shi smiled.

——It’s my birthday today, so the second chapter might be after midnight.
