On the Avenue.

Chapter 209: Sect Master Situ (asking for monthly votes in the middle of the month)

Situ Wen was so angry that he was fuming. He had been waiting here from last night to this morning, from this morning to noon, and then to this afternoon, but all he got in return was a word of breach of trust!
He had finally arranged various killing moves in Guanshanji, but Chen Shi didn't come early or late. He came over as soon as he had finished using his killing moves and even mocked him for wanting to run away. It was really infuriating.

"Chen Shi, you clearly said you would come for the appointment at noon!"

Situ Wen yelled, "Who among us is not keeping his word?"

Chen Shi stopped and looked up at Situ Wen on the cardinal seat, wondering, "The noon I told you was tomorrow's noon. When did I tell you it was today's noon? I'm still early. If I hadn't seen you were leaving, I wouldn't have come out."

Situ Wen was furious and said angrily, "Why didn't you say noon the day after tomorrow? Why didn't you say noon this day next year?"

Chen Shi turned to leave and said, "I'll come back this time next year at noon."

"Wait!"

Situ Wen looked down at him, extended his big hand, his face softened, and his tone was as gentle as possible, saying, "Wait, don't leave yet. It's better to do it now than to wait for a day. There's no need to wait until next year, and there's no need to wait until noon. It's right now. You walked more than a hundred miles to get here. If you run back, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? Right here, I won't plot against you. Let's have a fair fight. I'll beat you to death, avenge my lady, and give an explanation to the young master."

He said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will repair your tomb after you die. I will make sure it is a beautiful tomb for you. After your death, your family will be prosperous for three generations, and your descendants will surely become high officials!"

Chen Shi said, "I am twelve years old and still unmarried, so I have no offspring. My grandfather only has one son, my father, and my father only has one son, me. If you kill me, the Chen family will be extinct."

Situ Wen was silent for a moment, wanting him to go home and have a baby quickly, but then he thought that if he had one, he would probably have to wait until this time next year.

But he didn't want to wait until this time next year.

If Chen Shi were killed today, wouldn't his family line be cut off from the rest?

He was hesitating, and Chen Shi said, "Are you hungry? I am hungry."

Situ Wen was also a little hungry and said, "I haven't eaten a single bite of food or drunk a single sip of water since this morning. I'm really hungry."

Chen Shi asked, "Why don't you eat?"

Situ Wen said, "I heard from the people in Fuzheng Pavilion that you like to assassinate your opponents unexpectedly. I am afraid that when I am eating or drinking water, you will suddenly run over and kill me. Why don't you eat either?"

Chen Shi said: "I have been hiding in the bushes, secretly observing you. If you eat or drink water, I can rush over and kill you, so there is no time to eat."

He explained: "Whether it's making a fire to cook or chewing something quietly, it will disturb you."

Situ Wen was silent for a moment, then said, "So, you were hiding in the bushes outside Guanshanji just now?"

Chen Shi nodded.

Situ Wen still didn't believe it: "You have been hiding in the bushes, waiting for me to show my weakness? When did you come? How long have you been hiding?"

Chen Shi said, "I came at noon, didn't eat lunch, and hid for two and a half hours. If you can still hold on, I will continue to wait, but I won't wait until tomorrow noon, I have to go eat."

Situ Wen was silent, and suggested: "How about we eat first, and then fight to the death?"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "That's a good idea. Let's eat first! Man is iron and food is steel. If you don't eat and drink enough, you won't have the energy to fight."

Situ Wen leaped down from the cardinal and landed on the ground, saying, "I can control the Yanshi in the cardinal to make fire and cook, but when I cook, I need to exercise my mind to control them. I'm afraid you will attack me by surprise. People in Fuzheng Pavilion said that if you seize the opportunity to attack by surprise, you can often kill your opponent in one or two moves."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "It's okay, my dog ​​can cook. Black Pot, you cook the rice and I'll talk to Brother Situ."

The Black Pot Man stood up, stretched out his two front paws, and asked doubtfully, "Woof?"

Chen Shi said in embarrassment: "I didn't bring the wooden cart because I was afraid it would attract your attention. You are the leader of the Luban Sect, and it would be bad if you control the wooden cart. I put all my cooking utensils in the cart."

Situ Wen said, "There are pots and pans in the cardinal's room. I often go out to work, repairing tombs and mansions for dignitaries, and I bring these things with me. But I don't bring meat and vegetables, which are easy to spoil, so I only bring rice and flour."

Chen Shi looked at the Henggong Mountain behind him and said, "Hei Guo, go hunting and get some food. Brother Situ and I will have something to eat and drink."

Hei Guo barked in dissatisfaction, jumped out and ran into the mountains.

Not long after, Hei Guo came back carrying a musk deer weighing fifty or sixty kilograms. He plucked the hair and skinned it by the mountain stream, cleaned a large stone, and cut the tendons and meat on it.

Hei Guo went to look for some wild onions and garlic and called out to Chen Shi. Chen Shi said, "Brother Situ, do you want to eat water celery? Hei Guo found some wild water celery. It has a strong smell and a strange aroma. People who haven't eaten it may not be used to it, but it can wash away the mutton smell on the meat."

Situ Wen smiled and said, "I've been out and about all year round, so what can I not eat? Just let me eat it."

Chen Shi said: "Black pot, put more water celery in it."

Black Pot responded.

Situ Wen was still a little wary of Chen Shi. He controlled a Yanshi to help build a stove, get coal, and move a blower. He also prepared all the pots and pans.

Even so, he did not forget to guard against Chen Shi's sneak attack and always kept three meters away from Chen Shi.

——He heard from the young master that Chen Shi’s attack distance was two meters. Later, after the old lady died, the young master revised this data to twenty and thirty or twenty or twenty-four meters, saying that Chen Shi’s cultivation had greatly improved, and he might have already reached the ninth level of the golden elixir.

He was worried, so he increased the distance to three meters.

If Chen Shi approached the distance of three meters, he would retreat. If Chen Shi approached him again intentionally or unintentionally, he would control the cardinal to raise his arm, making Chen Shi feel threatened and retreat on his own initiative.

Chen Shi looked up at the cardinal with eyes full of awe.

This magic weapon of Lu Ban Sect is so huge and powerful that it can smash itself into pieces with one strike.

If it was during the war, Luban Sect would have prospered, but now there is no war, evil spirits are everywhere, and Luban Sect has declined. But even such a small sect actually has its own magic weapon, which is enviable.

Magical weapons are too expensive.

Not to mention a small sect like the Luban Sect, even in a county, it would take hundreds or thousands of years to refine a magical weapon like the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Since Lu Ban Men possessed a magic weapon, one can imagine that it must have once been glorious.

Chen Shi came up to the cardinal, raised his hand to touch the cardinal, looked up at the huge creature, and asked, "How heavy is this thing's blow?"

"I still have tens of millions of pounds of strength."

Situ Wen said, "With one punch, the city wall can be penetrated, and the golden body of the Spiritualization Stage can be blown up! But it can't deal with the Primordial Spirit. It used to be able to deal with the Primordial Spirit, but it was later damaged by someone, and many of the formations on it became ineffective. My ancestors were not well-educated, and the skills were lost, so they were not repaired."

The cardinal is so tall and big, and his movements are so loud that one strike could probably split mountains and rocks, which is really daunting!
Situ Wen opened a door and said, "You can come in and visit, but you can't get closer than three feet from me."

Chen Shi followed his instructions and walked in.

Situ Wen said from a distance, "These buildings of the cardinal may look ordinary, but they are actually very solid. The wood is soaked in the blood of strange beasts. Every year, monks from the Luban Sect draw talismans such as the Hercules Talisman and the Black Tortoise Talisman. There are also golden elixirs in operation." He led Chen Shi through the rooms and came to a passage similar to the meridians. He intercepted a golden elixir the size of a human head and threw it to Chen Shi, saying, "This is the artificial golden elixir passed down by our ancestors."

Chen Shi hugged the golden elixir and saw all kinds of strange lines engraved on it. The lines formed a complex talisman pattern. On the second layer, there were still hollow metal lines forming a spherical surface, forming a complex talisman pattern.

There is another layer of hollowing out below, with the same layout.

Chen Shi looked intently, and saw that below the third layer, there was a fourth and fifth hollow layer!

Seeing his surprised expression, Situ Wen smiled and said, "This artificial golden elixir imitates the golden elixir of the ninth transformation. It is divided into nine layers, corresponding to the nine transformations. The heat brought by this artificial golden elixir once it is circulated is dozens of times greater than the power contained in the golden elixir you refine at the ninth transformation level!"

Chen Shi sensed the terrifying power contained in the artificial golden elixir and praised: "What a remarkable creation."

He released the artificial golden elixir, and saw the golden elixir fly up and whizz along the passage.

Situ Wen said: "There are a total of thirty-six of these golden pills in the cardinal, and they are running non-stop. If they are running at full power, they can allow the cardinal to run a thousand miles in an hour! However, they can only run for one hour."

Chen Shi asked in confusion: "Why?"

Situ Wen sighed and said, "There's not enough coal. After running a thousand miles, the stored coal is burned out and needs to be replenished."

Chen Shi said: "The cardinal is powerful, but it seems that the disadvantages are also great."

Situ Wen was shocked to see that Chen Shi was less than two meters away from him without him noticing, but fortunately Chen Shi did not make a move.

He quickly distanced himself and said, "Indeed. Just buying coal is a huge expense. If I hadn't been dealing with you, I wouldn't have brought out the cardinal this time."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I am so lucky."

Situ Wen found him interesting and felt a little reluctant, so he said, "How about you go back and get a wife first, and leave a child, then come back and I'll kill you to avenge my mother and vent my anger for my son."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I'm only twelve years old, I can't have any offspring yet."

Situ Wen looked gloomy, but continued to lead the way.

Chen Shi said, "Brother Situ, I was the one who secretly knocked Qian Xiangzhu of your Luban Sect into the foundation. He died because of me, but you probably don't know it yet."

Situ Wen said, "I know. I heard that there was something evil going on at the foundation of the city wall, so I rushed over and saw you knock him down from a distance."

Chen Shi was stunned: "Why didn't you stop me?"

"This guy deserves to die."

Situ Wen said calmly, "He actually used his own brother as a living stake. He could have used death row prisoners, but he just wanted to save the money. At worst, spend more money and hire some reliable talisman masters to deal with the evil spirit. This guy doesn't want to pay and harms his own brother's life. If you don't kill him, I will cut him three times and pierce him six times. After he dies, I will peel off his skin and make him into a Yanshi, and let people spit on him."

Chen Shi laughed and said, "Brother Situ is a man of temperament. No wonder he wanted to kill me for a prostitute like Auntie."

Situ Wen's face flushed, and he argued, "I'm not killing you for my wife, I'm killing you for my master!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beauty. Although I don't know about love between men and women, I understand the principles. Although the lady is a prostitute, although she traffics in people, although she forces good girls into prostitution and kills many girls, Brother Situ just likes her and wants to avenge her. Brother is a real hero, I admire you."

Situ Wen's face turned even redder, and he sneered, "I set up the battle array in Guanshanji in order to repay you for your kindness! Moreover, I fought you alone, in a fair fight, and did not bully you by relying on my numbers! I am not killing you for the prostitutes!"

Chen Shi looked at him with a smile.

At this time, the sound of dogs barking was heard.

Situ Wen hurriedly asked, "Is the black pot's food ready? Let's eat first!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "It was Hei Guo who asked us to eat."

The two men walked out of the cardinal's room. Hei Guo had already set out the food and dishes. He took off his apron and went to wash the smell of oil smoke off his body.

Chen Shi asked Situ Wen to sit down. Situ Wen said, "The cook hasn't come to the table yet. How can we go to the table first? Wait a minute."

When Black Pot finished taking a bath and came to the table, Situ Wen pulled out a stool and asked it to sit first, then he said, "Brother Chen, please sit down."

The two sat down.

Chen Shi and Hei Guo were already hungry and ate very quickly, but Situ Wen ate very slowly. After the man and the dog were full, he was still eating slowly and with a huge appetite.

"I am full?"

He was surprised and asked, "Are you full but why don't you leave? If you are full, go first and don't wait for me. I eat slowly."

Chen Shi asked doubtfully, "Not fighting anymore?"

Situ Wen snorted, picked up some water celery and put it in his mouth, and said in a muffled voice: "No more fighting, you go back and leave Yudu as soon as possible. I don't have the habit of killing people for prostitutes."

Chen Shi asked, "Isn't Auntie your mistress? I thought you wanted to avenge her."

"Pooh!"

Situ Wen's face flushed, and he said hesitantly, "Sleeping with her a few times means she's a mistress? I have too many mistresses. I came here to defend you, not for her. Don't ruin my reputation."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "You are an interesting person. I won't kill you."

Situ Wen put down his chopsticks and sneered, "You won't kill me? You can't beat me! Once I open my cardinal, even if you have an indestructible golden body, I will smash it to pieces! I, the cardinal, can break all laws with one force!"

Chen Shi smiled slightly and said, "Try to activate the cardinal first."

Situ Wen wanted to show him the power of the Lu Ban Sect's treasure, so he immediately jumped up and landed on the cardinal's forehead, which was twelve feet high. He stood in the pavilion and urged the cardinal to move.

Suddenly, a halo of light swirled around the cardinal. Various golden bodies, golden bells, strong men and other talismans were like the cardinal opening a golden umbrella to protect his whole body. At the same time, one by one, the Yanshi hurriedly shoveled up coal and threw it into the alchemy furnace. Thirty-six artificial golden pills whirred and moved in and out of the alchemy furnace!

Situ Wen swung his fist, and the cardinal, who was twelve or thirteen feet tall, also swung his fist, making a thundering sound and a thunderstorm that was deafening!
Even the spells cast by a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage will be exploded by the thunder before they get close to the target!
There is no chance to even raise the golden elixir and the primordial infant, as they will be killed by the thunderstorm if they are raised!

Even the primordial spirit would be injured if it encountered such a thunderstorm!

It's just a minor scrape, at least I'm injured if not dead!
The Cardinal is like a great monk who controls infinite power, and the pavilion where Situ Wen is is the shrine, and Situ Wen is the divine fetus!

He is dexterous and possesses infinite power. He is truly a top-notch mechanical engineer!

Just as Situ Wen urged the cardinal, suddenly the doors of the cardinal's rooms opened wide and turned into bloody mouths. Scarlet tongues more than ten feet long flew out of the big mouths all over the cardinal's body!
In an instant, the cardinal turned into a monster made of flesh and blood, like a huge evil spirit, staggering from side to side, out of Situ Wen's control!
The treasure book of creation, the talisman of victory in the haunted house.
Letting Chen Shi enter the cardinal hall was like inviting a wolf into the house. When Situ Wen was not paying attention, he had already turned the treasure of the Lu Ban Gate into a huge haunted house!
