On the Avenue.

Chapter 218 Mr. Qingtian
Qingyang looked at the bearded man. After all, he was the patriarch of the fox clan, and the fox clan was distributed everywhere in Xiniuzhou, so the news was very widespread.

"The young master was fostered in the Zheng Palace twenty years ago. His biological father's surname is Ren, and his name is Xiao. He is the Minister of War in Xijing, in charge of all the troops in the country."

The big man with curly beard said, "The young master's surname is Zheng, and he has not changed it back to Ren yet, so I don't know his specific name."

Granny Sha was surprised and asked, "Ren? Minister of War? He is not among the thirteen surnames, so how can he be the Minister of War and be in charge of the army of the whole country?"

It has become a common practice that important positions in the imperial court are often held by talented people from the thirteen generations of families.

The Ministry of War is among the Six Ministries, and the Minister of War is a second-rank official. Although his power is not as great as that of the Cabinet Scholars, he is an official who holds real power after all. The Thirteen Generations of Families should not let this official position fall into the hands of outsiders.

Qingyang asked, "Is the Ren family a great clan?"

The bearded man shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

"That's weird."

Granny Sha said, "Even if Ren Xiong was the Minister of War, his foster son wouldn't have to change his surname. Even if you were Ren Xiong's son, you wouldn't have such great power that the Thirteen Aristocratic Families and even Master Kuzhu would favor you."

The bearded man hesitated for a moment and said, "Legend has it that the ancestor of Ren Xiong's branch did not originally have the surname Ren, but Zhu, which was the imperial surname. Later, people were not allowed to have the surname Zhu, so they changed their surname to Ren."

Granny Sha was silent for a moment before she said, "No wonder. If it was Zhu, then that would make sense."

This is a taboo surname.

Nowadays, no one in the world dares to have the surname Zhu.

She just felt it was difficult and sighed, "Why did Xiao Shi come into conflict with the young master? This is a bit difficult..."

Qingyang shook his head and said, "It's not Xiaoshi's fault. Master Ren is not a human being."

Granny Sha said nothing more.

They also went to Yudu, and they knew exactly what kind of forces the young master was under.

"If Mr. Ren's surname is Zhu, then it can be explained that he needs money, wins people's hearts, and makes friends with various forces." Granny Sha suddenly said.

Qingyang and the bearded man were both startled and understood what she meant.

"No wonder the old Zen Master Kuzhu also taught him the Great Wheel of Wisdom Golden Light Mantra. The people of the Thirteenth Family also taught him various skills. So that's how it is."

The bearded man sighed and said, "Xiao Shi's opponent is really difficult to deal with. How about Grandma pull Old Chen back from the underworld?"

Grandma Sha also had a headache.

With just the three of them, I'm afraid they may not be able to protect Chen Shi's safety. If they can't protect him, I'm afraid there will be another Gongzhou demonic change!
"Xiao Wangsun also has the surname Zhu, right?" Qingyang suddenly asked.

Granny Sha said unhappily, "After seeing the world, Xiao Wangsun has lost all hope and ambition. I'm afraid he will be hanged on the crooked tree outside Huangpo Village sooner or later. The seal in Xiao Shi's hand was left on the tree by Xiao Wangsun. If Xiao Shi hadn't run over, it would not have been the seal that Xiao Wangsun would have died, but himself."

She cheered up and said, "Let's forget about these troubles and go home! We can finally have a few days of peace and quiet and live a simple life! Qingyang, do you have money? If you have money, you can spend it."

Qingyang rolled his eyes at her and said, "I don't have any pockets on my body, where would the money come from? Besides, I'm a godmother, I only accept sacrifices and not money! The grandsons in the village offer sacrifices to me, and the most common thing they ask is for me to give them some money!"

Granny Sha looked at the bearded man and said, "Xiaoliang, I haven't worked for a while and I have no money. Come and get the money. I'll go back and sell the eggs I've saved at home and pay you back."

The bearded man sighed and muttered, "You are experts."

After all, he was the leader of the fox clan, and when the little fox gave him silver as a gift, he stood up and paid.

The three of them left.

Chen Shi stayed at the Hongshan Hall headquarters and was finally able to relax.

Hongshan Hall was like half a home to him, and he felt safe once he arrived at Hongshan Hall.

He calmed down and practiced the Eight Gates Golden Palace Divine Chapter, but because he had used the Tianpeng Subduing Demon Technique, his energy and blood were somewhat depleted.

If he practiced the Eight Gates Golden Palace Divine Chapter at a normal pace, he could have broken through and become a Nascent Soul. However, due to the loss of Qi and blood, he could not break through.

"Hey, my life span has exceeded 500 years!"

Chen Shi was extremely surprised. He had been practicing diligently this time and discovered that his life span had unexpectedly broken through the 500-year mark and increased to 600 years!

The voice of Lady Shiji came: "Five hundred years of life is the limit of the Golden Core Realm, but it is not impossible to break through the limit. My Lord, your talent is indeed not bad. You can break through the limit of the Golden Core Realm so quickly. However, the Tianpeng Subduing Demon Technique is a bit harmful to the body, and it is difficult to replenish the vitality."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I'll just go back and take a nap."

Lady Shiji smiled and said, "If the envoy is not afraid of getting hurt, the leader of the Northern Emperor lineage has a more powerful fighting method called the Thunder Jade Pivot Method, which is even more harmful to the body."

Chen Shi heard this and asked tentatively, "How can it hurt?"

"This thunder technique can transform one into a god, into the Thunder Ancestor, also known as the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Voice Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable. With three eyes opened, one can control thunder and lightning, and all evil demons and heretics will be reduced to ashes."

Niangniang Shiji smiled and said, "After practicing this thunder method, your qi and blood will be exhausted. You can't expect to recover for more than a year or so. The last time you went to the True King's Tomb, I saw this set of fighting methods at the innermost part of the stele forest."

Chen Shi's heart beat fast when he heard this, but he was a little hesitant.

The mysterious skills recorded on the forest of steles outside the True King's Tomb become more powerful the closer you are to the True King's Tomb. The Thunder Jade Pivot Skill is at the innermost part, so you can imagine how powerful it is.

Niangniang Shiji said: "You are practicing the North Emperor's lineage. The Tianpeng Subduing Demon Method comes from the Taiqing North Pole Subduing Demon Divine Curse. It is more powerful when combined with the Thunder Body Use Technique. However, these are two different fighting methods after all. It is inconvenient to use them at the same time."

Chen Shi nodded slightly.

When he was fighting with the shopkeeper Qiu of Mingfeng Pavilion, he activated the Tianpeng Subduing Demon Technique while activating the Thunder Body Technique and using his blood and qi to draw talismans to attract thunder and heavy rain. Only in this way could he attract thunder. Tianpeng's true body held six magic weapons and used the power of thunder to quickly kill the shopkeeper Qiu!

Shopkeeper Qiu is the strongest among all the Nascent Soul cultivators he has ever encountered. If Chen Shi had not used so many means, he would not have been able to resolve the battle so quickly.

However, it is just as Niangniang Shiji said, using two fighting methods at the same time and activating talismans is indeed inconvenient and easy to be interrupted.

"The Thunder Jade Pivot Method can indeed be put to a test," he thought to himself.

The next day, Yu Tiancheng, Situ Wen, Zhuge Jian and others returned to Hongshan Hall. Yu Tiancheng smiled and said, "The pursuers under your command have all been taken care of. The coach can rest assured now."

Chen Shi was overjoyed: "Master Yutang, you can already apply the Analects. Your rapid progress in knowledge is impressive. I dare not imagine how high your ranking will be in the next year's scholar examination!"

Yu Tiancheng laughed loudly, and said proudly: "It's also because of the good teaching of the scholar coach!"

"Hey! I am now the top scorer in two provinces!"

"Master Jieyuan!"

"Hahahaha!" The two of them flattered each other and were very proud of each other.

Zhuge Jian waited until they finished flattering, and then said, "Chen Shi, I have checked the accounts of Mingtian Laohui, and it is indeed the power of the young master. I have said before that if the young master does evil, I will risk my life to help and bring him down! Just give your orders!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Brother Zhuge is a trustworthy person. I dare not take orders. We Sanren have a heavenly organization under our name. It is not the kind of organization that rebels... Really not, believe me! Our heavenly organization aims to find the gods of China, protect these gods, and explore the truth lost in the era of the True King. We are not rebelling. I wonder if Brother Zhuge and Master Yu are interested?"

Situ Wen leaned over and said mysteriously, "My code name in heaven is Tiangong!"

Zhuge Jian's eyes flickered, and he said, "I'll join. Then my code name will be... Dianshi."

Chen Shi looked at Yu Tiancheng. Yu Tiancheng hesitated and said, "My code name... is Jade Rabbit!"

Situ Wen and Zhuge Jian were both extremely surprised. They didn't know that Yutian City could still be transformed into an evil spirit at any time. Once possessed by an evil spirit, one would turn into a chubby rabbit with a human body and a rabbit head. So they came up with the codename Jade Rabbit.

Chen Shi was very satisfied. He drew a compass and a ruler on the paper and said, "The symbol of us Sanren is a man with two heads of snakes entangled with each other, holding a compass in one hand and a ruler in the other. So we in the Heavenly Court must also have a symbol, so we use the compass and the ruler as the symbol, symbolizing heaven and earth, square and circle."

Situ Wen said excitedly: "It symbolizes rules! Whoever doesn't follow the rules will be beaten!"

Zhuge Jian looked at the pattern of the compass and the square, and saw that the compass passed through the square. He said, "It symbolizes order, law and rules."

Yu Tiancheng also looked at the pattern and said with a smile: "I think it symbolizes wisdom and inheritance!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "You have your own ideas, so just follow them. Let's set the Heavenly Palace sign first. I still have to go back to Xinxiang to rest and prepare for the imperial examination next year."

He said goodbye to everyone and left alone.

Yu Tiancheng, Situ Wen and Zhuge Jian each returned to the table and looked at the heavenly symbol on the paper.

"Do you think that Heaven can change the world?" Yu Tiancheng suddenly asked.

"do not know."

Zhuge Jian and Situ Wen each shook their heads.

Situ Wen looked at the compass and the square, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But I think the True King can do it. He did change some things in Yudu, at least he changed me."

Yu Tiancheng said: "And me. He was in Gongzhou and changed my opinion."

Zhuge Jian said: "Don't mention the code name of True King in front of outsiders. It may easily lead to unexpected disasters. From now on, we should call True King the Coach."

He paused and said, "The True King does have a peculiar charm, but how easy is it to change the world? We might as well start with the Young Master. The True King is going to Xijing to take the imperial examination, which is an opportunity!"

Situ Wenhe and Yu Tiancheng were greatly encouraged.

Four days later, Chen Shi returned to Huangpo Village.

There was a pleasure boat floating in the Yudai River at the entrance of the village, which made him wonder.

Although the pleasure boat is not big, the Yudai River is not wide either. One can dive from one end to the other in one go. Is it necessary to use a pleasure boat for ferrying?
The boat girl walked out of the pleasure boat, stroked her long braids in front of her chest with her hands, and smiled at him.

Chen Shi smiled back, feeling puzzled, and turned to walk into Huangpo Village.

"The great Lord Qingtian and the abducted souls are all here!"

The boatman could hardly contain his excitement and said to the boat girl, "Girl, we will be able to return to the underworld soon!"

He was building a simple dock, tying wooden stakes with hemp ropes. He put down his work, looked towards Huangpo Village, and said with a chuckle, "As long as we can deal with that dog..."

The boat girl asked, "Go back and report? Dad, who should we report to?"

The boatman said: "Of course it's with the great Lord Qingtian..."

Having said this, he was stunned.

The boat girl jumped onto the dock and helped him work, saying, "The great judge is right here. Which great judge should we report to when we go back?"

The boatman was confused by this question and scratched his head, saying, "The Lord of Justice is here, and the abducted souls are also here. As long as we get rid of that dog, we can go back to being ghost messengers, and even have no faults! Girl, how can we miss this opportunity?"

The boat girl bit her teeth and tightened the wooden stake, saying, "Why did the Lord of Heaven reincarnate as a little girl? Who chased the Lord of Heaven away? Who is the Lord down there now? Dad, have you ever thought about it?"

She tied the rope, paused, and said, "We will take the great master back with us. We will die on the same day we return. We will die together with the great master!"

"What should we do then?" The boatman was a little anxious.

The boat girl stepped hard on the simple dock to test whether it was solid, and said, "Wait."

She jumped onto the pleasure boat, grabbed the bamboo pole, and tapped the water lightly. The pleasure boat immediately changed rapidly and turned into a fishing boat. She said, "Wait until the Lord Qingtian recovers his memory and true body, and wait until something unexpected happens in the underworld. Then, we can escort the abducted souls and follow the Lord Qingtian back to the underworld to restore order and make a great contribution!"

She took out the Boy's Heavenly Spirit Lamp, blew on it, and turned it into a fishing net. She smiled and said, "As long as we take good care of our little piece of land, we two will be the great contributors to restoring the throne from the Dragon Map!"

The boatman grinned and said, "Dad, I will be able to reach the next level of godhood in the future!"

When Chen Shi returned to Huangpo Village, he saw Nannan riding a black pot around the village. She jumped off the dog's back and held a duck to extort duck eggs.

The ducks in the village dared not speak out.

"Nannan, come home!"

Chen Shi called them and returned to Chen's house. He heard the sound of cooking in the yard. Chen Shi went into the yard and saw Hu Feifei cooking in a pot. When she heard his voice, she looked over and saw a few streaks of black soot on her fair face.

“I’ll be right soon!”

Hu Feifei shrank her head and shouted, "Take the kids and the dog out for a walk first. They're making too much noise at home! I'll call you after these dishes are cooked!"

Chen Shi responded and took Nannan and the black pot out.

Not long after, Hu Feifei's voice resounded throughout the village: "Brother Chen, brother! Come home for dinner!"

Chen Shi agreed loudly. When he returned home, Old Lady Wuzhu gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "You are worthy of being a scholar. The woman you brought home is Bai Jun! You have been away for two months, and even your child is four or five years old."

"She's a vixen, not my woman."

Chen Shi corrected her and said, "Besides, I am the first place winner of the two provinces, which is very different from the first place winner of the two provinces."

Old lady Wuzhu curled her lips, turned around and went into the house, muttering, "After passing the imperial examination, you're already playing with vixens. Why don't you go to heaven? You're still the top scholar. Your eyes are on your forehead. Sooner or later, you'll fall down."
