On the Avenue.

Chapter 192 Demons and Demon Fairies
When Chen Shi said this, Heiguo, who was sitting in the wooden cart and eating a steamed bun, was immediately startled. He hurriedly stuffed the bun into his mouth and stared at Ying Rumeng vigilantly.

A cold wind quietly arose around it, ready to pick up Chen Shi at any time.

Mu Che was stupidly stuffing food into his mouth, completely unaware of the critical situation.

Ying Rumeng chuckled and said, "Mo? Where did the Mo come from? There are only hot and soft steamed buns. Do you want to eat them?"

Chen Shi stared into her eyes, as if to see if she was genuine, but he could not see anything from her eyes. He smiled and said, "I heard that the golden Buddha in Gongzhou was hollowed out by mycelium, and the demon that was endangering Gongzhou has escaped. I know that Master Kuzhu and Brother Wuchen entered Gongzhou and did not see Uncle Ying. They thought you were the demon, so they deliberately deceived you. Uncle Ying, please don't blame me."

Ying Rumeng stared into his eyes, as if she wanted to see into his heart, but what she saw were demons that were more powerful than herself.

After a while, she chuckled and said, "Of course it's not strange. I'm a monk, and I'm free from all worries. How could I be angry? The reason I went to Gongzhou was because I heard about Brother Kuzhu's death, so I rushed over to deal with the aftermath."

She raised her hands to push the hair behind her ears, and her sleeves unconsciously slid down, revealing her pink and white arms, round and smooth.

Chen Shi ignored this situation and stared at the entrance of the restaurant. He said, "Since everything is empty, death is death. Why do we need to deal with the afterlife?"

Ying Rumeng's chest swelled a little, and her clothes seemed to become thinner. She smiled and said, "I am still a stinking skin bag in the world, so I have to deal with it."

Chen Shi looked at the restaurant where people were coming and going and said, "If I read more Buddhist teachings, will the devil become a Buddha?"

Ying Rumeng looked at him, and Chen Shi laughed and said, "I was testing you on purpose! Look how scared you are!"

Ying Rumeng chuckled and said, "What did you find out?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Nothing was found out."

Hei Guo heard a popping sound above his head. He raised his paw and touched his head. Unexpectedly, a mushroom had grown out. He was awed.

The wooden cart made a constant popping sound, and in an instant the entire cart was covered with small mushrooms!
Hei Guo was terrified and prayed that his young master would not try again.

Chen Shi asked, "Are there any female monks in Dabaoguo Temple?"

Ying Ru dreamed that he was not moved by beauty, and thought to herself: "His character is well cultivated... Wait, could it be that he still doesn't know about sex? Then wasn't my action just to show the blind man?"

She smiled and said, "The four elements are empty, so why should we distinguish between men and women?"

Chen Shi said seriously: "We are just a bunch of stinking skins, and we are still in this world, so naturally we have to be divided into males and females."

Ying Rumeng stared into his eyes. She had just responded to Chen Shi with these words. She didn't expect that Chen Shi would respond to her with the same words now!
Chen Shi looked at her.

Hei Guo pulled the mushrooms out of the car, stuffed them into the car and looked at them in fear.

Chen Shi suddenly laughed and said, "I am testing you, Uncle Ying, don't get excited."

Ying Rumeng's seriousness just now disappeared, and she chuckled, "I was scared by you!"

Hei Guo gritted his teeth, pulled out the mushroom from his head, stuffed it into his mouth, and looked at the two of them viciously.

The wooden cart quietly grew arms and plucked mushrooms from its body. It tasted them and found they were not bad, so it picked more and ate them.

At this time, Monk Wuchen walked out of the restaurant quickly and said with a smile: "Uncle Master, Mr. Chen, I want another meal! Let's eat together, let's eat together!"

Chen Shi took out a small round table from the car, set it up under the shade of a tree at the corner of the street, and took out a few small stools. He said, "Hei Guo, you come down and eat too."

Black Pot Head shook his head like a rattle, and his ears hit the dog's face, making a popping sound.

Chen Shi did not force it. The three of them sat down and ate the food Wu Chen had begged for. Although they were all vegetarian dishes, they tasted delicious.

Chen Shi said, "Monk, why are you still in Xinxiang and not back to Dabaoguo Temple?"

Monk Wuchen said, "My uncle said that I have a worldly heart and need to be tempered more in the secular world so that I can make further progress in Buddhism and the Mahavira Golden Light Mantra."

Chen Shi looked at Ying Rumeng in surprise and said, "Uncle Ying also understands Buddhism and the Mahavairocana Golden Light Mantra?"

Ying Rumeng smiled and said, "After Senior Brother Kuzhu died, my attainment in the Mahavairocana Golden Light Mantra became the best in the world."

Chen Shi raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that the demon in Gongzhou used mycelium to suck the golden body of Master Kuzhu dry. I'm afraid its attainments in golden body are not inferior to Uncle Ying's, right?"

"puff!"

Monk Wuchen's nostrils were spitting rice, and he choked and coughed loudly, his face turning red.

Ying Rumeng met Chen Shi's gaze with a smile.

Chen Shi was eating and laughed, "We were just joking! Master, please eat."

Ying Rumeng gritted her teeth and laughed, "If you joke too much, people will die. Last time, someone died while eating because of a joke. Guess how he died?"

Chen Shi came up to her, his eyes full of curiosity: "How did he die?"

"I'm so curious!"

Ying Rumeng chuckled, "Don't you think it's funny? Hahahaha!"

Chen Shi also laughed out loud, and tears came out of his eyes.

Monk Wuchen quickly changed the subject and said, "I stayed in Xinxiang because I passed the imperial examination. After passing the imperial examination, I could become a senior monk, which made it much more convenient for me to travel. Donor Chen, on the day the results were announced, I saw your name, which was at the top of the list, even above the children of the aristocratic families."

Chen Shi knew that he was always snobbish and must have looked down on him because of his high ranking, so he asked, "What are your plans after passing the imperial examination, monk?"

Monk Wuchen said: "Follow my uncle to travel to various provinces, see the local customs and people, and sharpen my mind."

He hesitated. He studied Buddhism hard, but he didn't want to live a hard life. Originally, he planned to go to Xijing and make friends with the children of the aristocratic families by using the name of Dabaoguo Temple to get a good family background. But Ying Rumeng laughed at him for being snobbish and wanted to take him to travel around the world and live the life of an ascetic monk.

He had no way to resist and had to practice with the demon.

After finishing the meal, Monk Wuchen packed up the copper bowl, clasped his hands together, bowed to Chen Shi and said, "Donor Chen, my uncle and I still have to travel around, so we'll say goodbye now."

Chen Shi bowed in return and said with a smile, "Will you take part in the imperial examination in Xijing next year?"

Monk Wuchen said, "If you want to go further in the temple and become a lecturer, you still have to take the exam. Bye."

Chen Shi nodded slightly and watched Wu Chen and Ying Rumeng leave. When they were far away, Chen Shi's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. He hurriedly held onto the car and finally managed to steady himself.

His body was shaking and his legs were trembling so much that he could not stand steadily. He did not even bother to tidy up the table and the small stool. He crawled into the car with difficulty and lay down, gasping for breath. The beads of sweat that he had been holding back just now now poured out like crazy.

Chen Shi's eyes were completely dull and his gaze was distracted, obviously he was extremely frightened. Previously, he had always pretended to be calm and even joked with Ying Rumeng many times, but now that the aftereffects were coming, he was as scared as he could be.

Hei Guo looked at him, not feeling any pity at all, as if to say, "You deserve it."

After a long time, Chen Shi finally stopped trembling, exhaled a breath of foul air, and murmured: "I have read too much about Buddhism. Can a demon really become a Buddha? I don't believe it. What exactly is this demon planning to do... We can't stay here for long, Black Pot, let's go!"

Heiguo quickly took out the compass and drove away from Xianghe Town.

They had originally planned to go to the town to eat sweetfish, but now they had to give up the idea. After all, no one knew when Ying Rumeng would turn into a giant mushroom and take root, turning this place into another devil's domain.

Monk Wuchen and Ying Rumeng walked out of Xianghe Town. Wuchen walked in front, and suddenly Ying Rumeng's voice came from behind: "Walk, walk slower..."

Monk Wu Chen stopped and turned around to look, only to see Ying Rumeng holding onto a tree, her legs shaking and she looked like she couldn't walk.

"Master, are you still unfamiliar with the human body?"

Monk Wuchen said quickly, "Uncle Master can show his true form and jump around."

"No."

Ying Rumeng shook her head, her eyes filled with fear, and said, "I thought I had gotten rid of him, but he still came looking for me! He came to capture me and seal me up. Fortunately, I was smart and responded well, so I didn't reveal my true identity."

Monk Wu Chen was stunned. Why was Chen Shi so scary in the eyes of his uncle?
He didn't know how horrific the scene Ying Rumeng saw was, so naturally he couldn't understand Ying Rumeng's fear.

Ying Rumeng rested for a while before recovering and said, "Let's leave this place immediately and never meet him again!"

Monk Wuchen agreed, thinking, "Master Ying told me to gain experience and sharpen my mind. I think she also needs some training before she can face Chen Shi without fear."

Just as he thought of this, the sound of wheels suddenly came from behind him. The two turned around and saw Ying Rumeng's face suddenly turned pale. He whispered, "He still won't let me go... How about we fight him!"

Chen Shi was sitting in the car and saw Ying Rumeng and Monk Wuchen. He immediately looked ashen: "This demon is waiting for me here! Okay, okay, it's going to eat me, right?"

Ying Rumeng's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Chen Shi also showed the small temple behind his head, ready to take the demon into the temple without any explanation!

The two sides were getting closer and closer. At this moment, Chen Shi heard a woman's laughter in his ears: "I slept so well! My lord, I was overworked and too tired, so I slept for a long time. I didn't mean to neglect you. May I ask, did the queen ask you to rescue me? Hey, there is a demon here!"

"Mrs. Shiji?"

When Chen Shi heard this voice, he was delighted and immediately relieved. He said, "Madam, are you awake? To be honest, it was my godmother who asked me to rescue you!"

He remembered that last time on the stone boat, he took Shiji Niangniang into the small temple, and when Shiji Niangniang saw the small temple, she respected him as the chief envoy. The small temple was given to him by his godmother, so Chen Shi simply acted in the name of his godmother.

"Godmother?"

On the main shrine of the small temple behind his head, Niangniang Shiji showed great respect to Chen Shi.

Others did not know the origin of Chen Shigan's mother, but she knew it very clearly. This lady was the first goddess among the Chinese goddesses, with an extremely ancient origin, boundless power, and controlled everything on the earth and underground.

Although Shiji is also a goddess, she is also a deity on earth. Compared with that goddess, she is like heaven and earth, and they are in a subordinate relationship.

"The Queen actually adopted him as her adopted son! The High Envoy is worthy of being the High Envoy!"

Madam Shiji said happily: "Madam, you asked the envoy to rescue me. Are you going to help Shiji restore her true body?"

Chen Shi wanted to save his life, so he immediately followed her words and said, "That's right. The queen said that you were wronged and harmed by a villain. After arriving in Xiniu Island, you suffered a lot, so she asked me to create a real body for you..."

Before he could finish, Niangniang Shiji suddenly became overcome with grief and burst into tears.

Chen Shi was stunned and thought, "Could it be that she really was wronged in China?"

Niangniang Shiji cried for a while, and knew that she had lost her composure. She suppressed her grievance and choked up, "Your Excellency, please forgive me for laughing. I was indeed wronged. I was bullied by a pair of masters and apprentices for no reason, and my real body was damaged. I have no place to stand in Shenzhou. My broken body was used as stones to build houses. It was not easy to save my head. So I took a boat across the Dark Sea and came to this new continent, trying to restore the Taoist tradition and rebuild my real body. Unexpectedly, I was discovered by the True King and imprisoned for thousands of years..."

As she spoke, she felt like crying again.

Chen Shi interrupted her and said, "My lady, how are you compared to this demon?"

Lady Shiji stopped her sadness, looked at Ying Rumeng from the temple, and said calmly: "I am a concubine in front of the envoy, and I am the queen in front of her."

Chen Shi's courage suddenly grew. He ordered Hei Guo to stop the car and laughed, "Where in life do we not meet each other? I never thought I would meet you two here again. Since we are so predestined, I will give Master Ying a ride!"

Niangniang Shiji said, "But my divine power was borrowed by an old man ten years ago to suppress a guy called Creator Xiaowu. Now there is not much left. If we really fight, I may not be a match for this little demon."

Chen Shi's heart skipped a beat and he wanted to take back what he had said, but he spoke too quickly and the words had already been said.

Ying Rumeng sensed an unfathomable divine power coming from the small temple behind his head, and she was awed in her heart: "He is really going to take action! At worst, we can fight to the death!"

"She wants to do it!"

Madam Shiji said, "Your Excellency, please allow me to be unbridled for a moment!"

Chen Shi suddenly felt a flash before his eyes, and found himself on the shrine of the small temple, with Niangniang Shiji taking over his real body.

"This little temple is good in every way, except that it can't suppress the real masters!"

Chen Shi sighed secretly. Creator Xiaowu, Qianyang Mountain Lord, and Shiji Niangniang could freely enter and exit the small temple and could not trap them at all. They could even enter Chen Shi's body at any time and use his body as a container!
"Girl!"

"Chen Shi" suddenly exuded an extremely terrifying demonic aura, which even carried the aura of an immortal. He said grimly, "Are you going to commit treason and attack me?"

"This is a demon fairy!" Ying Rumeng was horrified, bowed down and said, "Senior, I dare not."

"Chen Shi" waved his sleeves and said, "Since you don't dare, why do you still have the intention to kill?"

Ying Rumeng's forehead was covered with cold sweat as she felt the powerful pressure from the Demon Fairy.

"Since this is your first offense, I'll let you off this time! If you disrespect me again next time, I'll kill you without mercy!"

After saying this, Lady Shiji immediately returned to the small temple, allowing Chen Shi to return to his body. She smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I have already reprimanded her. I don't think she will dare to do anything rash."

Chen Shi’s mind was buzzing: “Demon… Lady Shiji is also a demon! I agree to be a demon and reshape my true body…”

——The water supply is still out and there is no place to eat, so the pigs have to go out and find a restaurant that is open at night.
