On the Avenue.

Chapter 234: Family secrets
"Chen Jieyuan, please save face for me, Gao."

In the distance, Governor Gao Chang was watching this scene, feeling somewhat happy, and said with a smile, "He really didn't kill anyone in my Niandu. If there weren't so many demons hidden between his eyebrows, he would be a person worth making friends with."

He had heard many legends about Chen Shi from the Gao family and knew Chen Shi's style of doing things well.

Gao Chang's eyes fell on Saint Xuan lying on the ground. He shook his head gently and whispered, "Young Master is taboo, but Chen Shi is also taboo. Even if you are the Saint of the Bodhi Dojo, you cannot humiliate Chen Shi and let Chen Shi surrender to the Young Master. Saint Xuan is still too young. No wonder she can't beat the other women around the Young Master."

He did not go to treat Saint Xuan and turned away.

"Young people, you must suffer a little in order to grow!"

Saint Xuan was lying on the sickbed, staring with her eyes wide open. Her once lively eyes were now dull. She stared straight upwards, neither speaking nor moving.

After a while, she caught her breath, closed her eyes, and two lines of tears slid down the corners of her eyes.

It was Baili Mu and others who carried her back to Banshan Sect from Huagaidian.

She was beaten unconscious by Chen Shi and lay outside the store. The owner was kind enough to cover her with a piece of clothing to cover her from being exposed, and he also had someone watch over her to prevent her from being carried into the alleys by the beggars in the city and causing trouble.

Baili Mu got the news and rushed over. If he was not familiar with Saint Xuan, he would not have been able to tell that the unrecognizable woman lying on the ground was the stunningly beautiful Saint Xuan.

After identifying her, he was sure that this person was indeed Saint Xuan. He then hurriedly carried her to the hall of Banshan Sect. When he ordered people to call a doctor, Saint Xuan woke up.

Chen Shi first hit her in the lower abdomen with his knee, causing her to get a stitch in the side, disrupting her Qi and blood, and making her Qi flow out of control.

When she was about to sacrifice her Nascent Soul, Chen Shi swung up the Huagai pole and hit her. The pole of the Huagai was branded with many talismans, which were treasures of defense. Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, Chen Shi's first swing hit her on the back of her head, knocking her back from the shrine she was about to fly out of!
The second shot was even more clever, hitting her Tianmen, which is the fontanelle on the top of her head, blocking the way for her Nascent Soul to leave her body.

Then he swung the rod and hit him hard.

The pole was beaten so hard that it cracked or even broke!
All the talismans on the pole of the Huagai were blown to pieces. You can imagine how heavy the blow was!
Baili Mu checked and found that Saint Xuan was only injured in the flesh and was not seriously injured. The skills of the Bodhi Temple were extremely profound, and Master Miaoyin was the head of the temple. Although Saint Xuan was less than sixteen years old, she had already cultivated a lot of skills, and it was not easy to break her golden body.

Although Chen Shi's attack was ruthless, he was very measured and did not hit anyone with fatal wounds.

But she couldn't stop her tears from flowing.

She had never been beaten so hard in her life.

Since she came out of retirement, all the young talents she met were polite, heroic, gentle, talented, and broad-minded.

There is no one like Chen Shi, who beat her without any explanation, and after beating her, he was still not satisfied and kicked her on the butt twice!
Before she left the mountain, her master, Master Miaoyin, told her that the flesh is only a superficial appearance, not the essence, and is just a smelly skin bag. But people in the world are ignorant, pursuing superficial appearances and forgetting the essence. If you are born with a good appearance, after you leave the mountain, there will be men who will love you because of your appearance and give you all kinds of conveniences. You can use your appearance to achieve your own goals.

Make good use of appearances, transcend appearances, and ultimately achieve no appearance.

This was one of the reasons why she went down the mountain.

However, her appearance was completely useless in front of Chen Shi!
When he beat her, he showed no mercy.

Even the Buddha had times when he was burned by the fire of ignorance, let alone the fact that she was not even a Buddha?

"I was doing this for your own good and your future, which is why I allowed you and the young master to make peace! My kindness was rewarded with a beating from you!"

Saint Xuan gritted her teeth, sat up, and touched the back of her head. It was swollen, and the blood clots blocked the acupoints, making her shrine unable to appear. She raised her hand and touched the top of her head, and the same was true for Tianmen, which made her even angrier.

She has been practicing Buddhism since she was young, and received the top inheritance from the Bodhi Temple. She has acquired a lot of skills and is a leader among the younger generation.

Although they are both in the Nascent Soul Stage, her strength is much stronger than those of sects like the Banshan Sect. She has powerful cultivation, exquisite magic, and her talismans and weapons are far superior to theirs!

But she didn't even have time to do anything, and was suppressed and beaten by Chen Shi!

If it was a fair fight, it would have been fine for her to be beaten up by Chen Shi, but the point was that before she could even fight back, she was beaten without any power to resist, and was even knocked unconscious, which made her feel extremely aggrieved.

This is not a humiliation to her, but a humiliation to the inheritance of the Bodhi Dharma Field!
Baili Mu said: "Don't worry, Saint, my Banshan Sect will definitely settle accounts with Chen Shi for both new and old grudges! I have people following Chen Shi, as long as he leaves the city and leaves the Niandu Baili, we will take action immediately!"

Saint Xuan struggled to get out of bed and gritted her teeth, "I'll go with you!"

Baili Mu smiled and said, "Saint Xuan, just rest and recover. The injuries to Tianmen and Yuzhen are no small matter, not to mention..."

He didn't say anything else. Chen Shi's knee hit Saint Xuan's lower abdomen. This blow was to disperse her blood and qi, so he was very ruthless and dispersed Saint Xuan's yin qi. However, the injury here was more private, so he didn't ask more questions.

Saint Xuan was indeed unable to do anything, and said, "My Nascent Soul cannot leave my body, and the shrine cannot fly out either."

Baili Mu bowed and said, "Saint, wait for my news."

Two days passed and there was still no news from Baili Mu. Saint Xuan was extremely anxious, but fortunately the swelling and pain on her face had disappeared and her appearance had returned to normal, except for some bruises where she had been hit hard.

That day, Baili Mu came hurriedly and said, "Chen the thief has left the city. Can the Saint move?"

Saint Xuan said, "The blood clots on my head have not completely dissolved yet, so it is a bit difficult for me to leave my body. He injured my Heavenly Gate, so I can't do it myself."

Baili Mu said with a smile: "After the thief Chen is captured, I will definitely let him live a short while so that the Saint can vent her anger."

Saint Xuan shook her head and said, "Monks do not kill."

She paused and said, "You guys should do it."

She followed the people from the Banshan Sect and walked out of the city. The Banshan Sect had a large number of people and many masters, and people from the Bailian Hall also followed.

At this time, Baili Mu's voice came: "Saint Xuan, this time we have to go a hundred miles out of Niandu, the journey is quite long, Saint Xuan, please get in the carriage."

Saint Xuan looked and saw two sika deer pulling a canopy chariot coming towards her and stopping beside her.

The canopy was square in shape, hanging upside down, covering a space of more than ten feet in radius. Pearl necklaces were hung all around the canopy, and the interior of the carriage was covered with lambswool, which was very soft.

Although the interior of the car is clearly visible, when you get in, you find that the space inside the car is slightly larger than the outside. This should be the result of the blessing of runes such as Taotie or Pixiu.

The car manufacturing in Niandu is truly unique.

Saint Xuan got on the car and saw that the two sika deer in front of the car were also of different species. When they ran, whenever their hooves landed, a cloud of air would emerge from their feet and lift their bodies. When their hooves were raised, the cloud would float backwards and lift the four wheels of the car off the ground.

The car was moving silently, and clouds several feet in diameter were floating up to the sky behind the car, which was very beautiful. Baili Mu and Saint Xuan rode in the car, slowly leaving the city and heading towards the Da Nan Lake in the east of the city.

Spies kept coming to Baili Mu and reporting, "Chen Shi has walked to the south of the city."

"Chen Shi has arrived at Yuanyang Bridge!"

"Chen Shi is already fifteen miles away from the city!"

"Chen Shi rushed to the direction of Da Nan Lake!"

……

Behind the chariot, there were many talented people from the Banshan Sect. One of the women took out a round bronze mirror from a treasure box. On the back of the bronze mirror were reliefs of four sea beasts, and in the middle was a sea god stepping on two dragons.

The woman raised the object and saw the bronze mirror getting bigger and bigger until it was more than one person tall, with Chen Shi's figure reflected in the mirror.

Saint Xuan looked over and saw Chen Shi holding a canopy in his hand. The canopy was taller than him and looked like a folded umbrella. He walked forward with the help of the umbrella.

"His canopy was originally blank, but now it's painted with something!"

Saint Xuan stared at Chen Shi in the picture and discovered something. She immediately said, "This canopy was bought by him and me. It didn't have any marks originally! And the pole of the canopy was also blank, but now it has a mark! Sect Master Baili, you need to notify the people in front immediately, and they must be careful!"

The Banshan Sect's incense master beside him smiled and said, "Saintess, don't worry. We have been monitoring him these past few days and saw him buy some black dog blood and cinnabar and draw his own talismans. This canopy does have a lot of talisman marks on it, but it's still a short time since we've had time to sacrifice and refine it, so it's not something that matters."

Refining talisman weapons is not that simple. After drawing various talismans, you still need to copy them day after day to make the talismans last for a long time.

It took Chen Shiyong two days to draw these talisman seals and he had no time to trace them.

Another incense master from Bailian Hall said, "Although there are many talismans on his umbrella, there are too many of them and it is disorganized. When refining talisman soldiers, the more talismans the better. You need to distribute them in moderation and make some choices. Simply piling up talismans will limit the power of the talisman soldiers."

Baili Mu said with a smile: "Different trades are like different mountains. Chen Shi is indeed a master of talismans, but refining talisman weapons is another trade. His Huagai has been ruined."

Saint Xuan thought carefully, the canopy that Chen Shi bought had 108 folds, if it was written smaller, a talisman could be drawn on each fold. And several talismans could also be drawn on the wooden pole.

More than a hundred talismans, if properly combined, are truly powerful and can be said to be top-level talisman weapons!
But how to combine and arrange them is a profound subject, which cannot be figured out in just one or two days.

Even the masters of Bailian Hall may have to study hard for several days, and they also need to gather their fellow disciples to discuss together, often arguing and getting exhausted. If there is a slight mistake in the arrangement and combination, when refining, the talisman weapon will be scrapped, or at least it will be destroyed, but it will often kill and injure many people.

Saint Xuan looked carefully at the canopy that Chen Shi was leaning on in the mirror. The folds of the canopy had been folded up, but the edges of the talismans could still be seen from the edges.

She couldn't help but wonder: "He seems to have drawn more than one talisman on each fold. Judging from the edge, there are at least nine talismans on each fold, or even more!"

The pleats of the canopy are extremely slender, consisting of strips of hardwood. Drawing talismans on them is extremely demanding of the writer's strength.

If one could draw nine or ten talismans on one umbrella fold, he would be considered an expert in refining equipment in Bailian Hall!

"One hundred and eight folds means a thousand talismans! Add the pole of the canopy, and there must be a lot of talismans on it!"

Saint Xuan's eyes flickered as she stared at Chen Shi in the mirror. "What exactly is the talisman weapon he refined?"

Chen Shi, leaning on the canopy, hurried towards Nanhu Lake without slowing down at all.

He was nearly a hundred miles away from Niandu.

Some strange people began to appear on the roadside. They were men in gray, standing on both sides of the post road and beside the graves with coffins next to them, staring at him.

Chen Shi glanced at them, and these people did not avoid looking at him at all.

He continued walking along the post road. The sky gradually darkened and a cold wind began to blow. He didn't know when there were no more pedestrians on the road. He was the only one walking on the post road.

There was someone burning paper in front. The paper money was burning in the brazier, tumbling in the firelight and rising along with the flames.

There were some people with miserable looks squatting on the post road around the brazier, with cold wind swirling around them. They were waiting for the paper money to fly out of the flames, then they quickly jumped up and grabbed the paper money with looks of joy.

"People light candles, ghosts blow them out. If the candle goes out, you can't touch the gold."

The man burning the paper muttered to himself, "The ghosts and gods are frightened by the gold."

There were rows of candles around the road, already lit, with flames glowing green.

Next to each candle there was a little ghost squatting, wearing a red bellyband and looking white, staring at the candle as if trying to blow it out.

Chen Shi leaned on the canopy and walked past the brazier, avoiding the ghosts who were waiting to snatch the paper money.

"Little brother, you have already stepped into the gates of hell, but you don't even know it."

Behind Chen Shi, the voice of the man burning paper came, saying, "The moment you stepped into the fire basin, you entered my funeral ground."

Chen Shi stopped, turned around, and asked, "Who are you?"

The paper burner looked up, revealing a pale face with a ghostly look, and said with a smile: "Mountain Moving Sect, Candle Lighter. Chen Shi, you take away the young master's magic weapon, the Deep Spring Wandering Dragon Sword. If you return the magic weapon to me, I can keep your body intact!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the world around him disappeared, leaving only a post road, with coffins and ghosts on both sides of the road!
After opening the tomb, the Banshan Sect members cannot rush into the tomb to search for treasures. They need a candlelighter to enter the tomb first, light the candles, and determine whether there are ghosts or monsters in the tomb. Therefore, every candlelighter needs to master unique skills. Collecting ghosts and monsters is a necessary spell, and raising ghosts and monsters is the candlelighter's specialty.

Chen Shi looked around and praised, "Controlling ghosts in the human world is really a good magic. You are a walking underworld."

He opened the canopy and the umbrella lid opened, and in an instant an extremely bright light shone all around!

On each of the 108 folds of the big umbrella, there are ten kinds of talismans, each different, totaling one thousand and eighty kinds!
And on the umbrella handle, which is as thick as an arm, there are densely packed talismans, totaling one hundred and twenty kinds.

In total, there are 1,200 kinds of talismans, corresponding to 1,200 Chinese gods.

These 1,200 gods are called Luotian Gods in the Chinese Continent.

Chen Shi held up the canopy, and the Luotian Grand Ceremony slowly started. He said with a smile, "I really want to learn which is better, the Banshan Sect's magic or my family's unique skills."
