On the Avenue.

Chapter 590 Neighbors in Daoxu
“There are really a lot of people staring at me!”

Chen Shi was confused and puzzled. He originally thought that the feeling of being watched was just an illusion, but now the feeling suddenly disappeared, making him realize that it was not an illusion, and someone was indeed watching him just now!
And there were dozens of pairs of eyes.

He was shocked and puzzled, "Isn't Daoxu a place where few people go? Why are there so many people watching me when I merge with the Dao and cultivate the Dao realm?"

The people who were watching him had no ill intentions; they just watched from afar and did not interfere with his actions.

“Could it be that this place is not as desolate as I imagined? Maybe there are neighbors.”

Thinking of this, Chen Shi flew to the edge of the Dao Realm and walked out of the Dao Realm.

Outside is Daoxu, where green mountains are like dragons, crawling on the wasteland. This place is larger than Xiniu Xinzhou, with no end in sight, and the mountains are even larger, with strange mountains and rocks, and magnificent scenery.

Chen Shi flew around aimlessly, when he saw that there were houses among the mountains, with wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys.

Chen Shi flew closer and saw that it was a village with a small population, only about a dozen families, as if a whole family lived there.

He arrived at the front of the village. The villagers were busy with their own things. The women were picking mulberry leaves to feed the silkworms, the old man was smoking his pipe leisurely, and the farmer was pouring fermented manure into the vegetable field.

When people saw him coming, they stopped what they were doing and looked at him in astonishment, their faces full of disbelief.

"Where are you from?" A naughty boy ran up to Chen Shi, raised his head, tried to make a serious face, and asked.

"My name is Chen Shi. I'm a newly promoted immortal. I live next door."

Chen Shi raised his hand, and the gold inscription of Daoxu's land deed appeared between the mountains and rivers. He said, "I am the landlord here. The Heavenly Court promised Daoxu to me, and this is the land deed."

The naughty boy looked up at the deed with a confused look, then looked back at the other people in the village, feeling a little at a loss.

"Did Heaven grant Daoxu to someone else?"

The other villagers were also somewhat bewildered and at a loss. The old man did not bother to smoke his pipe. He hurriedly knocked on the copper pipe and stood up and said, "Do you have an order from the Great Celestial Lord? Yes. The Earth God... also has one. If the Four Imperial Gods are not on the land deed, we will not recognize it..."

When he saw the words "Four Emperors" on the deed, his face turned pale, he groaned twice, and said no more.

The villagers were very sad, as if they had lost their parents.

Chen Shi was puzzled, and walked towards the village, saying with a smile: "Everyone, although this Daoxu is now my territory, I will not interfere with you. You can continue to do what you did before, and I will not collect rent from you."

He stopped and looked up at the stone gate at the entrance of the village. There were three layers of stone gates with the word "Fu Luo" engraved in the middle.

The villagers of Furuo Village felt a little better after hearing this.

The naughty boy led the way, trying to act like an adult, and said, "Although you are our master, you must not treat us like tenants. We in Fuluo Village are entrusted to Taoist Lingbao to guard the Green Stele. Taoist Lingbao promised us that as long as we guard the Green Stele well, he would not charge us rent!"

Chen Shi stopped and looked at the cherries on the roadside. The cherry tree was not big, only eight feet high and about five steps square. The cherries on the tree were finger-sized, round, half yellow and half red, like topaz with skin.

Under the cherry tree, there was a country girl picking cherries with a bamboo basket in her hand.

The cherries were beautiful, and so was the girl. But the girl was quite shy. She glanced at Chen Shi, then lowered her head and glanced at him again secretly.

Chen Shi looked at the cherries, then at the village girl, grabbed a handful of cherries from the basket, and said with a smile, "Who is Lingbao Taoist? I don't know. But since he has agreed, I won't accept it. Lift your head and let me see."

The village girl raised her head as she was told, then lowered it shyly, turned around and walked away carrying the basket.

Chen Shi laughed loudly and ate a cherry proudly.

He was about to speak when he suddenly felt as if a sun had ignited inside his body, and the blazing fire instantly filled his body!
"What kind of cherry is this?"

Chen Shi remained calm and mobilized the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection to refine the power contained in the cherry into various Dao patterns, which he refined into his body to enhance his physical body and soul.

However, the power contained in the cherries was better than any elixir he had ever taken before. Even though the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection was extraordinary, it was difficult to completely eliminate the medicinal power in a short period of time.

Chen Shi immediately activated the Hunyuan Taoist Scripture and mobilized the distant Taoist realm. On the one hand, he activated the Taoist realms of immortal and demon in Daoxu to refine the medicinal power, while on the other hand, he sensed his other Taoist realm and refined the excess medicinal power into Taoist patterns and refined them between heaven and earth.

If there is still no time to refine it, then transform the medicinal power into spiritual energy and pour it into the realm of Tao!

Suddenly, auspicious clouds filled the sky above Xiniu Island, and the air was filled with lucky air. In some places, the spiritual energy turned into rain, dripping down, watering the mountains and rivers, making the green hills all green, dragons appearing in the rivers, and many Ganoderma lucidum and exotic herbs growing in the mountains and fields.

Hu Feifei looked up at the sky, wondering: "What happened in Xiniu Xinzhou?"

Chen Shi discharged the excess medicinal power into the three Dao Realms, and finally refined the power contained in the cherries. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to the boy, "Daoist friend, what is your name?"

"Bai Lu." The naughty boy replied seriously.

Chen Shi continued, "Your village is called Fuluo Village. Taoist Lingbao asked you to guard the stone tablet here?"

Bai Lu said: "It's the blue stele!"

Chen Shi nodded gently and said, "Take me to see it."

The little boy from Bailu led the way and took him into the village.

Chen Shi ate another cherry and looked around. Suddenly, he saw a duck passing by. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed the duck's neck, and with a snap, he slapped the duck.

"Where are the eggs?" Chen Shi shouted.

Having said this, he remembered that this place was not Huangpo Village.

The duck obediently laid an egg. Chen Shi then released its neck, let it go, and stuffed the warm egg into his pocket.

When the little boy from Bailu saw this, his eyes lit up.

Chen Shi picked a cucumber from the vegetable garden beside the road, rubbed off the thorns on it with his hands, took a bite, and it was very crisp and refreshing.

The cucumber went down the throat into the stomach, and immediately a stream of green dragon spiritual energy rose from the stomach, extremely overbearing.

"Is this cucumber also a magical medicine?"

Chen Shi was a little bit unbelievable. While chewing the cucumber, he adjusted his two profound skills and used the three great Dao realms to digest the medicinal power of the cucumber together.

In the imperial capital of Xinxiang, Hu Feifei looked up at the aura of the blue dragon dancing in the sky and murmured, "An extraordinary phenomenon has occurred in the sky. Another extraordinary phenomenon has occurred in the sky. What has happened to Xinzhou, Xiniu? Auspicious signs are falling every day!"

The boy from Bailu led Chen Shi and saw a mangy dog ​​on the roadside. He was furious. He rushed forward, grabbed the dog by the neck, and lifted it up. He slapped the dog twice, saying, "Didn't you see the master of Daoxu is here? Call him master!"

The scabby dog ​​quickly nodded and bowed to Chen Shi, saying, "Master."

"Mmmm."

Chen Shi responded vaguely twice and continued eating cucumber, thinking: "This talking dog is much better than the black pot. Furuo Village is not simple." The little boy Bailu took him to the center of the village, where there was a green alchemy furnace. The furnace was not big, only half a person's height, with a round furnace body at the bottom and a cover at the top, and inside the cover was the alchemy room.

The alchemy furnace is hollow, and you can see the bright green flame inside.

For some reason, the flame gave people an extremely dangerous feeling. Chen Shi took a glance at it and was horrified. He felt that if the green flame fell on him, he would be burned to ashes in an instant!

And next to the alchemy furnace there was a big man burning the fire, controlling the temperature and refining the elixir.

Chen Shi's eyes fell on the big man, and he couldn't tell the depth of his cultivation.

In fact, Chen Shi could not see through the true character of all the people in the village, even the little boy from Bailu, the mangy dog ​​that was slapped twice, and the duck that was blackmailed for duck eggs!
If he really fought, Chen Shi felt that he might not be able to beat the duck!
Next to the big man was a green stone tablet, about two meters high, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, standing in the center of the village.

There is a line of words engraved on the stele, with dragons and phoenixes dancing in style.

"The spiritual treasure erects a monument to forever suppress this world!"

In addition, there are some extremely complex characters on the stele, which are twisted and crooked, like the traces left by earthworms crawling around, but if you look closely, it seems that you can see many amazing Taoist methods.

“This is the Immortal Dao Pattern!”

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly, as he was just beginning to learn about the Taoist patterns of immortality.

Whenever one attains immortality by attaining unity with the Tao, all previous Taoist magical powers will have to undergo a radical change. It's not that the original Taoist magical powers cannot be used, but that their foundation is basic knowledge such as talismans, which are unable to carry the enormous power of an immortal.

If an immortal uses a talisman to perform his magical powers, the talisman will explode if he does not control the power.

The only way to withstand the power of immortals is with Dao patterns.

Chen Shi’s grandfather Chen Yindu has already begun to try to create talisman Taoist patterns based on talismans.

But in the earthly immortal world, the Dao pattern has actually matured, and all kinds of immortal methods contain Dao patterns. Immortals comprehend Dao patterns and comprehend Dao magic. Dao patterns also often contain the mysteries of their owners' Dao methods, although not all.

After Chen Shi entered the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Hunyuan Taoist Scriptures and Hunyuan Sword Scriptures he practiced were filled with various Taoist patterns.

The Dao patterns on this green stele were profound and mysterious, as well as extremely obscure. They were even more complicated than the Hunyuan Daoist Scripture and Sword Scripture. Chen Shi stared at one of the Dao patterns for a moment, then he felt dizzy and all of a sudden all kinds of chaotic Dao sounds rang in his mind, buzzing and vibrating, as if they were going to break his head.

At this moment, deep in his consciousness, the imprint of the Heavenly Dao flowed rapidly through his brain like a trickle of water, smoothing out his confused thoughts and making the Dao sound suddenly become clear and orderly.

When Chen Shi looked at the Dao pattern again, he did not find it as difficult as before, and the Dao methods contained in the Dao pattern gradually became clearer.

This Taoist method is called Qinglong Yin. Although it is called "Yin", it is actually a kind of seal method. When performing this method, it awakens the power of the Eastern Sky Green Emperor who is wandering between heaven and earth. By blessing this seal, it can subdue all external forces, crush the enemy with ease and kill them!

Chen Shi gradually unraveled the mystery of Qinglongyin. The more he read, the more he became interested in it. He felt that this method was mysterious and wonderful, and it was truly the best seal method he had ever seen in his life.

But as he went deeper, the Heavenly Dao Seal gradually found it difficult to interpret the mysteries contained in the Azure Dragon Chant. The Dao patterns in his eyes became more and more obscure, the lines became more and more difficult to understand, and the Dao methods contained in them became more and more profound!
Chen Shi felt dizzy and fell down with a thud. After a while, his vision gradually became clear.

The faces of the children, big men, old men, women, and village girls in Bailu came into view. They surrounded him, looked at him, and when they saw him wake up, they all laughed and said, "Master is awake!"

Chen Shi sat up, his head still feeling dizzy. All sorts of chaotic sounds mixed in his mind, making him feel nauseous.

The villagers of Fuluo admired him very much. The old man smiled and said, "Master is really amazing. He could watch the green stele for such a long time before he couldn't bear it anymore and fell down. If it were us, the longest we could hold out wouldn't be half as long as you."

Others showed admiration.

Chen Shi held his forehead and said, "Did I faint? I remember I was looking at the Dao patterns on this green stele..."

"This pattern was left by Taoist Lingbao. People in our village have to rest for several days after looking at it for a few times."

The woman said, "We in Fuluo Village are guarding this blue stele under the order of Lingbao Taoist. Lingbao Taoist gave us this furnace so that we can make elixirs. If we eat the elixir, we will become immortals, free from disasters and live forever."

Chen Shi sat up and shook his head, still feeling dizzy. He calmed himself down and asked, "The Taoist Lingbao came to your village and left this green stele for you to guard. He was worried that you would not live long, so he taught you the method of alchemy, right?"

The villagers nodded.

Chen Shi asked, "How long ago did it happen?"

The old man said, "I don't remember. I used to count them, but later I got too lazy to do so. We are Shang people. After the Shang Dynasty fell, we followed the Heavenly Court and migrated here. I am Lord Shang Du, the oldest in the village, but I am only a few dozen years older than them."

Chen Shi widened his eyes, somewhat incredulous.

The Great Shang Dynasty happened more than 300,000 years ago!
These merchants have lived for more than 300,000 years!

After a while, he gradually felt better, but his walking was still a little unsteady.

The villagers bowed and stood up to see him off. Lord Shang Du smiled and said, "Master, be careful. How about I take you back?"

Chen Shi waved his hand and said, "No, I can walk by myself, but my steps are a little unsteady."

He stopped in front of the big man's alchemy furnace and asked, "Is the elixir ready?"

The big man hurriedly said, "It's done, it's done!"

He quickly opened the alchemy furnace, which contained dozens of white jade-like elixirs. They had a slight fragrance, but it was very light.

"Our elixir was passed down by Taoist Lingbao, but the ingredients are difficult to obtain."

The big man smiled and said, "We grow some medicinal herbs outside in our village. It takes about ten years to make a furnace of elixir. The leftovers from refining the elixir are fed to the ducks and dogs in the village. I didn't expect them to survive until now."

"I'll try it."

Chen Shi grabbed a handful of elixirs from the furnace, walked out, and waved, "No need to see you off, I can still go."

The villagers saw him off respectfully.

Chen Shi walked away and looked back at the Fuluo Village, feeling somewhat unbelievable.

A small village guarding the Green Monument has survived for more than 300,000 years relying on the elixir taught by Taoist Lingbao!

"The people in the village, even the ducks and dogs, have become immortals without knowing it, and have even lived to this day without any disasters or calamities!"

Chen Shi looked at the elixir in his hand. The villagers of Furo Village had been eating this elixir for more than 300,000 years, and their cultivation level had reached a level that was even higher than that of the Heavenly Venerable!

"But these villagers have no idea that they are already extremely powerful masters! What is the origin of Lingbao Taoist? What is the green stele he left behind? What secrets are hidden in Daoxu?"

Chen Shi retracted his gaze, returned to the Dao Realm, took a bite of the half-eaten cucumber, and said silently in his heart, "The people who just observed me were not them. But this village can be visited more often."
