On the Avenue.

Chapter 230: If you are clumsy, you will enter the mortal world

The bees and insects hung the sloppy Taoist upside down. The so-called hanging upside down means tying the hands and feet behind the back, then passing a stick through them, lifting him up with his face and belly facing downwards.

The sloppy Taoist had poisonous stingers all over his face and body, and he flew upside down so that the stingers would not touch the bees and insects.

But when you put it down, it will inevitably pierce deeper.

This great Mahayana master suffered an extremely unjust defeat. With all his skills, he fell to the ground from poison before he could even make a move. He was then captured by the Yin soldiers of the Bee Mansion.

His abilities are powerful and his cultivation is unparalleled, otherwise he would not be so calm in the face of the sinister commander Ah Zhuo.

But he never expected that the sting of a poisonous bee would be so powerful!

"These poisonous bees may be creatures from the underworld. Their stingers ignore the defenses of the body and the soul, and their toxins can paralyze the soul. They are really powerful!"

Chen Shi was amazed in his heart. If he was not careful, even a being in the Mahayana realm would fall flat on his face.

Ah Zhuo called the bee officer and ordered, "Take Taoist Xue back to the underworld first, kill his body, and lock up his soul first, and I will deal with him when I get back."

The bee official took the order and left with many bees and insects.

Ah Zhuo came to the pigpen and saw five pigs, three big and two small.

He muttered something and blew a breath, and the five pigs in the pigsty turned into five crawling people, covered in dirt and terribly dirty.

The five people were none other than Shi Jingming's family. They had been transformed into pigs by the sloppy Taoist priest with magic. Now that they were free again, they could not help but burst into tears and kowtowed to Azhuo.

"There are six people in your family, where is the other one?" Azhu asked.

Shi Jingming cried, "My father was taken to the market by a demon and sold!"

Ah Zhuo called a bee officer and asked it to find out where Shi's father was. He said, "If the butcher hasn't cut him yet, there's still hope."

The bee officer flew away.

After half an hour, the bee official flew back and said, "The meat has been sold."

Ah Zhuo said to Shi Jingming, "I can't save your father. There is nothing I can do. You must not tell anyone about my affairs. Otherwise, you will lose your virtue and the gods will come to judge you."

Shi Jingming's family was so grateful that they vowed not to tell anyone.

Ah Zhuo did not turn back into the appearance of the underworld bee commander, but remained an honest beekeeper, leaving the village with his bee cart.

Chen Shi followed him and asked, "Uncle Zhuo, where are we going?"

"Go home." Ah Zhuo said with a smile.

Chen Shi was stunned. Go home?
Does Yin Shuai still have a home in the world of the living?

The old ox pulling the bee cart was transformed from two bee officials, and its speed was not slow. They crossed mountains and rivers, and in the afternoon they arrived at a village next to a lotus pond. The village was built along the Da Nan Lake and was quaint. There was a river running through the village and flowing into the Da Nan Lake.

The bee cart was moving on the stone bridge. A few old men who were enjoying the cool under the trees at the bridge head were fanning themselves. They glanced at Ah Zhuo as if examining him, and were surprised and delighted: "It's Ah Zhuo who's back!"

"Aunt Qu, Uncle Yuan, Uncle, I'm back!" Ah Zhuo said with a smile.

Chen Shi watched them talking on the bridge and felt that the situation was very bizarre, yet very heartwarming.

Ah Zhuo is obviously one of the top great cultivators in the world and also the Yin commander of the underworld. Not long ago, he even led the Yin soldiers to encircle and suppress Taoist Xue, a Mahayana master who escaped from life and death!

But now, he is like an ordinary person, going home, meeting villagers, and chatting about family matters!

His uncle smiled and said, "Azhuo, stop blocking the road here and go back quickly. Your wife and children have been waiting for you to come back these days!"

Ah Zhuo smiled naively, led the bee cart across the bridge, came to the other side, and walked towards home along the road along the river.

He seemed like an ordinary villager who was working in another place and rarely came back. He greeted every villager he met, chatting about family matters, and looked a little shy.

The villagers were also curious about Chen Shi's background. Ah Zhuo said, "He is a hired worker who also wants to learn how to raise bees."

Chen Shi greeted the villagers.

"What a well-behaved and sensible boy!" people praised.

"Humph, if I bring up my status as the top scholar and bully you..."

Chen Shi thought that even Yin Shuai was like an ordinary person, and he, as the top scholar, was really not good enough, so he continued to pretend to be an ordinary person.

Ah Zhuo returned to his home and opened the gate.

There was a diligent woman in the yard, about forty years old, with her hair tied up with a dyed ribbon. She was holding a winnowing basket and scattering shriveled rice to feed the chickens. When she saw him come in, her eyes lit up, and she was surprised and happy.

She put down the dustpan and ran over. Suddenly she saw Chen Shi next to her. After a moment's hesitation, she ran over again. She hugged Ah Zhu and jumped and laughed excitedly. Suddenly she remembered something and turned around and shouted, "Qiao Wei, Qiao Hu, your father is back! Why don't you come out?"

There were tinkling sounds coming from the main room, and two children a few years younger than Chen Shi rushed out and pounced on Azhu.

Ah Zhuo laughed heartily, picked them up, one in each hand, and poked their faces with his beard, making the two children giggle.

"Aying, I went out to release bees and made some money."

Ah Zhuo played for a while, put the two children down, took out the purse, threw it to the woman, and said with a smile, "It should be enough for our family."

The woman, Aying, took the money and looked at Chen Shi with a puzzled look.

"Auntie."

Chen Shi greeted the woman, Aying, and said, "My name is Chen Shi, from Huangpo Village, Qianyang Mountain..."

The woman, Aying, asked cautiously, "Your last name is Chen, what is your relationship with that old Chen?"

Chen Shi said: "Chen Yindu is my grandfather."

The woman, Aying, snorted and became even more disgusted with him. She said, "Your grandfather is a bad person with a lot of bad intentions. He often comes here to corrupt my Ah Zhuo. He is away for several months at a time and sometimes comes back covered in wounds. There are also a few bad people named Du Yiran and Hu Xiaoliang..."

Chen Shi said sadly: "My grandfather passed away."

The woman, Aying, hesitated for a moment before saying, "I won't say bad things about him after he dies. But your grandfather...it's better not to say anything."

Chen Shi was embarrassed.

The woman, Aying, said, "It's all the fault of the older generation. It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to mind it. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go and prepare two dishes. Azhuo, come and help light the fire."

While the couple was busy, Chen Shi had some free time. He took out the judge's dragon-beard pen and looked at it over and over again.

An ordinary brush is just a pen holder with a wolf-hair brush head, but this brush is slightly larger than a normal brush. The brush head is not made of wolf hair but dragon whiskers, which seems to contain extraordinary power.

"Can this pen determine life and death?" Chen Shi held up the judge's pen and burned incense. He saw the aroma of the incense curling up and flowing into the judge's pen, apparently they were one and the same.

Chen Shi then took out the Youquan Youlong Sword and burned incense on it as well.

This is a sacrifice.

The purpose of offering sacrifice is to make the treasure communicate with spirits.

In addition to sacrifice, there is also refining.

Refining is to use one's own qi and blood to nourish the treasure, nourish the treasure's spirituality, and make the magic weapon more powerful.

Chen Shi looked at the two treasures carefully. The Judge's Pen was made of dragon whiskers, and the Wandering Dragon Sword absorbed the dragon energy from the mountains. Each had its own merits.

But in all, the Judge's Pen should be more powerful, and its function is more unique. The function of the Wandering Dragon Sword is relatively simple.

"No matter what, I promised Lord Wuwang this treasure. No matter how good it is, I have to give it to him."

After the two treasures absorbed the scent of incense, Chen Shi took out the Wandering Dragon Sword and the Dragon Beard Pen and placed them in the small temple.

Suddenly, he had a thought: "I can regard Lady Shiji as a divine fetus to help me practice, so can I regard the Wandering Dragon Sword or the Dragon Beard Pen as a divine fetus?"

He tried to activate the Eight Extremes Golden Gate Divine Chapter, and the Eight Extremes Golden Gate appeared. However, the two treasures were not placed in the shrine. It seemed that although they had spirituality, they could not reach the level of a divine fetus.

The woman Aying prepared the meal and called them over to eat.

Chen Shi also sat down. Lady Aying served him some food, very attentively, and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, what you practiced just now, was it a technique? Are you a cultivator? Can you teach me? Although your uncle is clumsy, he is very smart! He can learn anything quickly. Teach him! Teach him! Auntie will make you something delicious!"

Chen Shi was stunned and looked at Ah Zhuo with the tip of the chopsticks in his mouth.

The woman Aying obviously didn't know that her husband was one of the most powerful monks in the world, and also the Lord of the Underworld.

Ah Zhuo said, "I'm too old to learn. Ah Ying, don't mess around."

The woman Aying smiled and said, "Can you teach Xiaohu and Xiaowei? It's very expensive to go to a private school. I'm afraid my family can't afford it."

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "I haven't been to a private school either, but I can teach..."

Ah Zhu interrupted him and said, "Ah Ying, don't think about it, eat first. Xiao Shi came here just to visit me, and he has to go back in two days, so he can't stay here for long."

The woman, Aying, sighed with regret.

After dinner, she smiled and said, "Nephew, take Xiaowei and Xiaohu out to play. Your uncle and I have something to do this afternoon. Come back after the sun sets."

Chen Shi nodded and said, "Okay!" Then he took the two children out.

Qiao Wei and Qiao Hu were two little guys, young but full of energy. Chen Shi took them to dig out bird nests, dig loaches, catch fish, and fight with dogs in the village, but the two little guys never got tired.

Seeing that it was still early, Chen Shi conducted an inspection outside the village. Then he took Qiao Wei and Qiao Hu to dig mud from the creek and pile it up into a weir. He planned to cut off a section of the creek, scoop out the water and catch fish.

The three were working hard when a few people in strange clothes passed by the ditch. They suddenly stopped and asked the three people in the ditch, "Little donors, have you seen such a big dog and such a child in the past few days?"

Chen Shi, Qiao Wei and Qiao Hu were splashing water with mud on their faces and bodies. When they heard what was said, they looked up and saw that one of them was holding a picture in his hand. The picture showed a giant dog with billowing devilish fire and thick smoke all over its body.

The painting held by the other person was actually Chen Shi himself!
Chen Shi's heart skipped a beat: "The victim of Youquan Youlong Sword has come to me!"

Just as he was about to speak, Qiao Hu and Qiao Wei shook their heads and said in unison, "I don't know him, I've never seen him."

The strangely dressed men nodded and set off towards the village.

When Qiao Hu and Qiao Wei saw them walking away, they hurriedly said, "Brother Xiao Shi, hurry up and leave! They are here to settle accounts with you. It will be too late if you are late!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "How do you know they are here to look for me?"

"Mother said that in the past, when my father and your grandfather got into trouble outside, the government would often come looking for them with portraits."

Chen Shi raised his hand lightly, and the water in the ditch flew up and landed on the other side of the river weir. Only the fish were left in the ditch. He smiled and said, "Catch the fish quickly. Once you catch the fish, go home. These people are my victims. I will go to the river to wash them clean and meet them."

Qiao Hu and Qiao Wei hurriedly caught fish. After they finished catching fish, Chen Shi sent them across the bridge. Then he washed the mud off his body and face under the bridge, went back onto the bridge and sat under a tree.

Sure enough, those strangely dressed people just now hurried back. They must have heard from the village that the person in the portrait was in the village, so they hurried to the ditch.

Chen Shi stood up and said with a smile: "My friends, there is no need to look for me. I have been waiting here for a long time."

When the five men saw Chen Shi's appearance clearly, one of them flew backwards, and in an instant they retreated a hundred feet and came to the surface of Da Nan Lake. They paused, and with a click, the water in the lake swirled up, shaped like a water dragon, vivid and lifelike!

Another person leaped backwards like the wind, taking a step of six or seven feet. The next moment he jumped dozens of feet away and stood on the roof of a house, with his legs half squatting and half bent, ready to exert force at any time.

The shrine behind his head lit up, his Nascent Soul flew out, and his skills began to operate. In an instant, the blood and energy under his armpits condensed, and six arms emerged. He took out talisman swords one by one from the shrine. The swords were blessed with various talismans, mainly using thunder magic, and were extremely powerful.

Two more people rushed over from Chen Shi's side, also running over a hundred feet. They stopped, one of them raised his hand, and the other was lifted up by his magic power, to a high altitude, overlooking.

The two men, one above and one below, each raised their own talisman weapon.

The talisman weapon of the man below flew out of the shrine, whistling and spinning. It was actually a wheel-shaped disc, hollow inside, with a round blade on the outside and serrated teeth on the inside. It turned gently, and the power of the talisman brand burst out, and it burned with a whoosh, with flames blazing.

The man above threw out flying needles, more than a hundred in total, arranged in a ring, with the needle tips pointing downwards, pointing at Chen Shi.

The fifth person stood still, facing Chen Shi, but a shrine flew out from behind his head, with a divine fetus sitting in it, and the Nascent Soul sitting in the palm of the divine fetus's hand.

All five of them were masters of the Nascent Soul Realm, and they completed the layout in just a short moment.

Seeing this, Chen Shi's eyes lit up and he praised: "You brothers are all very skilled! This art of encirclement and killing must have been practiced many times. But don't get me wrong, I stopped you not to fight you, but to return the treasure to you."

A small temple appeared behind his mind.

Chen Shi placed both the Judge's Dragon Beard Pen and the Youquan Youlong Sword in the temple, using their own blood and energy to temper them.

Although he was somewhat reluctant to part with it, the Youquan Youlong Sword was, after all, a treasure that the other party had found with great difficulty. Even though he was reluctant, he had to return it.

The man opposite Chen Shi was dressed as a fortune teller. He was a little surprised to see the small temple behind Chen Shi's head, but when he saw the Youlong Sword flying out of the temple, he put his surprise behind him, smiled slightly, twirled his beard and said, "He who knows the times is a hero, little brother, you know the times very well. However, you robbed the treasure of the Banshan Sect and offended the Banshan Sect. You just return the sword and think that this matter is over? Should I say you are naive..."

Chen Shi frowned slightly: "What sect are you from?"

The fortune teller smiled and said, "Mountain Moving Sect."

Chen Shi held the Youlong Sword, tilted the sword slightly, and said calmly: "So, you are the young master's people?"
