On the Avenue.

Chapter 276 Six Paths of Reincarnation
"Both the boatman and his daughter are bad guys!"

Taking the blame, Grandma Sha was furious, but then she couldn't get up. Her injuries were serious. Her soul and body were separated while her soul and body were together, and her Bagua furnace was broken. She had to heal her injuries quickly, otherwise there would be trouble afterward.

Qingyang's injuries were more serious than hers, while Hu Xiaoliang's injuries were lighter, but not much better.

Zhong Kui was so strong that he injured three of the three men in one encounter. Even the carefully prepared caltrops could not hurt him at all.

Black Pot was moving at an extremely fast speed. It stepped on the ground of the underworld, flashed by in the distance, but the face of Zhong Kui above their heads was always following them, and its movement speed was no slower than Black Pot's.

His face was extremely huge, covering the sky, and was even larger than Black Pot's body. Looking up from below, there was a despairing sense of oppression.

His rough face had dragon-like sideburns, his beard was as lush as big black trees, his face was surrounded by burning flames, and his hands fell from the sky, able to grasp them all in his palms and crush them into mud!
His strength in the underworld is stronger than in the world of the living!

Hei Guo ran for his life, bumping left and right across the wilderness to avoid the hand pressing down from above. When he couldn't dodge it, Granny Sha and the other two mobilized all their remaining strength to fight against the big hand.

But the three of them were already at the end of their strength and could only hold out for a short while before being crushed by Zhong Kui's power.

Hei Guo escaped for thousands of miles, but Zhong Kui was still chasing him. At this moment, the ground under Hei Guo's feet shook and cracked, and the earth's air gushed out, and the scorching air rushed straight into the sky.

The ground cracked with a crackling sound, and Black Pot leaped up. He saw that a huge rift had appeared on the ground beneath his feet, and scarlet magma and fire were gushing out from the rift.

Hei Guo jumped to the other side. Chen Shi stood on Hei Guo's head and looked back. He saw a ghost with a majestic body emerging from the cracks and magma of the earth. His body was taller than the mountains. He grabbed the long river of magma, refined it in an instant, and used the long river of scarlet magma as a whip, swinging it towards Zhong Kui's face in the air!
When the whip was swung, countless magma fell and turned into huge black stones when they hit the ground, rolling with a rumbling sound.

Before the stones stopped, they jumped up and turned into little lava ghosts, more than a meter tall, running around on the ground, looking extremely ferocious.

Black Pot trampled to death countless lava ghosts who had no time to dodge along the way. Many of the ghosts also grabbed the dog's hair and climbed up quickly along its legs, preparing to climb onto the dog's back and kill everyone.

Chen Shi raised the Youquan Youlong Sword and pierced through the lava ghosts one by one.

Granny Sha and the others also gathered their remaining strength and knocked these lava ghosts down.

At the same time, cold winds were howling all around and fog was rushing towards this side. When they got close, they found that it was not fog, but countless white skeletons entangled together and crawling forward rapidly. Because there were so many of them, from a distance it looked like fog was surging.

They crawled so fast that Black Pot had no time to turn around.

"boom!"

The tide of bones engulfed Black Pot's body. The devil fire that permeated Black Pot's body burned to death the nearby white skeletons. However, that was only the devil fire around it, not covering the entire body. There were still countless white skeletons dancing and rushing towards them from the air.

The excited mouths of the white bones opened and closed rapidly, as if biting.

Chen Shi activated the Wandering Dragon Sword, and the sword light flashed like a swimming dragon, swirling and dancing around them. The white skeletons exploded one by one when they were hit by the sword light.

Zhuge Jian also activated the Wind and Thunder Yubu magic spell and fought hard. From time to time, he drew out the bowl-mouthed gun behind him, and with a loud bang, he blasted dozens of flying skeletons in the air into dust.

However, the bowl-mouth gun can only be used once, so the barrel must be cleaned and filled with gunpowder.

At this juncture, there is no time to stop filling.

Seeing that they were about to be drowned by the tide of bones, at the critical moment, a small temple appeared behind Chen Shi's head, and a big-headed woman was sacrificed by Chen Shi. Suddenly, the bones and skulls that were pouring around were shattered and turned into powder.

Niangniang Shiji was extremely excited. These white bones and skeletons were extremely dangerous to others, but to her they were the ultimate tonic. She immediately absorbed the stone nature from the bones unscrupulously!
Her body was originally that of a normal woman, but her head was as big as a dining table, which was very disproportionate. At this moment, after absorbing thousands of white bones, her body began to grow again.

Suddenly, one by one, the white skeletons danced and flew upside down, and the white skeleton arms were still struggling and scratching, trying to grab something.

Previously, the tide of bones blocked the vision of Chen Shi and others, and Hei Guo could only move forward with difficulty in the tide. Now that the bones were flying, their vision suddenly became wider.

Beside them, a ghost god that was many times larger than the black pot grabbed a long bone whip and lashed at Zhong Kui's face in the sky!

"The Fire and Earth Judge of the underworld!" Granny Sha exclaimed.

She was a law-abiding person in the world of the living, but she committed crimes many times in the underworld, so she had some understanding of the ghosts and gods in the underworld.

These two judges are the Fire Judge and Earth Judge of the underworld. They have always been inseparable. I didn’t expect to meet here.

The local judge held a bone whip in his hand and glanced at Granny Sha, but Granny Sha was obviously not as attractive to him as Zhong Kui.

The two judges of the underworld are masters of the Yin Law Department. They use a long river of magma as a whip and a torrent of bones as a whip. They wrap around Zhong Kui's hands and try to drag him from the world of the living into the underworld.

The Fire and Earth Judge pulled so hard that he dragged half of Zhong Kui's body from the world of the living into the world of the dead.

Zhong Kui roared angrily and exerted his strength suddenly, dragging the two judges towards him.

The two judges roared, and the hell they sat in charge of suddenly emerged. The black pot was still running forward madly. Chen Shi looked behind the two judges and couldn't help but stare.

But I saw an infinite space emerging, forming a horrifying scene of two layers of hell, and the souls of countless creatures were struggling and sinking in hell!

The ghost and god realm of hell is expanding outward, and its influence range is getting larger and larger!
The Black Pot runs so fast that even the two levels of hell can't catch up with it.

Before Chen Shi could even see what hell it was, Black Pot had already escaped thousands of miles away.

He looked up and saw that Zhong Kui had pulled the local judge to his front, opened his mouth wide, and was ready to stuff the local judge into his mouth!

He sucked most of Tupan's long whip like noodles, and the remaining small half was wrapped around Tupan's arms as thick as a mountain. Tupan supported Zhong Kui's upper teeth with both hands and his lower teeth with his legs, trying hard to resist so as not to be eaten by him.

"Can they fight so well?" Everyone felt a little desperate when seeing this situation.

In the distance, the earth was shaking, and negative energy was surging. More ghosts and gods from the underworld emerged and pounced on Zhong Kui in the sky.

The black pot ran faster and faster, and the spectacular scene became more and more blurred.

"Black Pot, there's no need to work so hard!" Chen Shi shouted, "You can slow down now!"

The Black Pot gradually slowed down, and the people on its back breathed a sigh of relief. Granny Sha relaxed, and her injuries suddenly flared up. She quickly calmed down and said with a wry smile, "I'm screwed this time. I was tricked by Chuan's father and daughter! I'll get back at them after I recover from my injuries!"

Hu Xiaoliang said: "How can we get back our position? Even if we recover from our injuries, we are no match for Zhong Kui."

Granny Sha said, "When I say get back my place, I don't mean to beat up Zhong Kui. Of course, I mean to beat up Chuan Gu and his daughter!"

Zhuge Jian calmed his breath and suddenly exclaimed, "Senior Qingyang is dead!"

Chen Shi was shocked and rushed forward to check. Sure enough, Qingyang was already stiff and had died!

He was filled with grief and was about to shed tears, when Granny Sha's voice came over him: "Don't worry about him. He will come back to life if he gets some sun. He was already dead."

Chen Shi stopped crying. Granny Sha sighed and muttered, "I don't know when I can recover from this injury..."

Hu Xiaoliang recalled the encounter with Zhong Kui and shook his head, saying, "I can't beat him. I can't beat him at all!"

Zhuge Jian asked, "Can we increase the amount of gunpowder? If we increase the gunpowder in the caltrops tenfold, can we blow up Zhong Kui? Some of the talisman masters in the Ministry of Works are from Hongshan Hall, and some of the craftsmen are from Luban Sect. They should be able to make this kind of super-large caltrops."

Hu Xiaoliang shook his head and said, "Zhong Kui's cultivation is too high. He is no longer afraid of thunder and fire. Using ten times the amount of medicine will not work against him. We need to multiply it by ten."

Zhuge Jian was shocked. Heavenly Tribulation-level gunpowder?

At this time, a huge iron pillar came into their sight.

The iron pillar was all black, hanging from the sky, as if it penetrated the Yin and Yang worlds. It was branded with many strange and ancient patterns, like words and talismans. Chen Shi was proficient in various talismans, but he did not recognize the patterns on the pillar.

"We are now near Xijing."

Granny Sha compared the geographical map of the Yin and Yang worlds and asked in confusion, "There is no such black iron pillar near Xijing. Is it a remnant?"

Remnants is a general term for the incredible giants left behind by the civilization on Xiniu New Continent before the True King era.

These things are often huge, eternal, stretching between heaven and earth, incomprehensible, and their purpose is unknown.

Unexpectedly, there are remnants in the underworld as well.

They walked around the black iron pillar and felt the breath of the last era.

Chen Shi looked at the iron pillar and thought, "I'll go back to the world of the living and find this place to see if there is such a thing in the world of the living as well."

At this time, brilliant halos came into their eyes. These halos suddenly appeared in the underworld, large and small, with soft light, forming clusters.

Outside each halo, there are tens of thousands of ghosts guarding it, as if the halo is very important to them.

In addition to these halos, there are also huge palaces that look like immortal palaces, hanging upside down and standing in the sky.

There were also gods sitting in the sky, with huge bodies and mysterious halos behind their heads. They would open their eyes from time to time and look down.

"This is Xijing City."

Granny Sha saw that Chen Shi and Zhuge Jian were puzzled and said, "The magic weapon you saw is a treasure that suppresses the destiny of Xijing. The nine palaces have supreme power. Wenhua, Wuying, Huagai, Wenyuan, Dongge, Zhengyi, Zhongji, Jinshen, and Jianji. These nine palaces are treasures left over from the era of the True King. With these nine palaces, let alone demonic changes, even disasters and calamities can be suppressed!"

Chen Shi looked at those palaces. In the world of the living, he could not see how powerful these palaces were. Only in the underworld did he know how terrifying Xijing's foundation was!
"So, who are these gods?" he inquired.

"The Primordial Spirit in the Void Realm."

Granny Sha said, "They are the Yuanshen of the powerful ones in the Return to Void Realm and the Great Vehicle Realm. Their Yuanshen can see through the Yin and Yang worlds, and their traces can be seen in the underworld. They can also see you. The halos behind their heads are the manifestation of the Great Void Realm in the underworld."

Chen Shi looked at these extremely powerful gods and was shocked.

Xijing, there are too many strong people!

There are as many as fifty or sixty beings who have reached the state of returning to the void and the state of Mahayana!
"What about these halos?"

"The halo is the six realms of reincarnation. The masters of the six realms of reincarnation are pregnant women, not just humans, but also livestock."

Granny Sha took a breath, suppressed her pain, and said, "When they are pregnant and about to give birth, their wombs will show a halo of the six reincarnations in the underworld. In the middle of the halo is a purple river placenta, which is the innate cushion, and contains the innate qi."

Chen Shi looked at the six realms of reincarnation and indeed saw a placenta in the realm of reincarnation, which contained the innate qi.

"These six realms of reincarnation, ghosts and gods should stay away. If you get close, you may be sucked in and reincarnate."

Granny Sha said, "People like you who have achieved Nascent Soul cultivation should never leave your body when you are near a pregnant woman. It is easy for your Nascent Soul to be sucked into the samsara and unable to get out. If you force your way out, both the pregnant woman and the fetus will die, and you will also be doomed and often die a violent death."

She smiled and said, "Look at those ghosts. They are guarding the six reincarnations, waiting for the six reincarnations to mature so that they can be the first to reincarnate. This is Xijing, and pregnant women are either rich or noble. Therefore, every six reincarnation is crowded with ghosts, fighting for a place.

"But Xijing not only has many noble ladies, they also keep many dogs, cats and the like. In the underworld, it is impossible to tell whether the owner of the six reincarnations is a human or a cat, dog or livestock. Often, many ghosts break their heads in order to be reincarnated, but end up being reincarnated as livestock. So, reincarnation still depends on luck."

Chen Shi knew something about this, but not much. Hearing this, he said, "So, before a cultivator dies, can he be reborn through the six reincarnations?"

Granny Sha said, "Yes, but not for long."

Chen Shi was puzzled.

“No matter how advanced your cultivation is, once you enter the womb, you will be confused. Once you open your mouth, your last breath will be lost, and your memories of your past life will gradually become blurred and dissipate. Even if you close your mouth, it will be fine in the first reincarnation, and you can still keep your memories of your past life, but if you die in this life, the memory of the first life will be even fainter when you come back for the third life.”

Granny Sha said slowly, "After reincarnation three times, even for a cultivator at the Mahayana level, the memory of the first life will completely dissipate and cease to exist. By then, the memory of you will be gone. You have merged the memories of other you, are you still you?"

Chen Shi fell into deep thought.

Granny Sha said, "My cultivation level was stuck back then, so I thought of finding the Three Lives Stone and awakening my three lives' memories. This way I could recover my cultivation from the previous three lives and help me break through."

Her face was gloomy and she stopped talking.

The black pot carried them away from this place, and even though it slowed down, it was still very fast.

Chen Shi suddenly saw dozens of six-path samsara halos of different sizes crowded together. In order to break the silence and help Granny Sha come out of her sadness and self-blame, he smiled and said, "Sister Sha, can you see what's going on?"

Granny Sha was still thinking about her son Xiang Tianyu who was trapped in the underworld. Upon hearing this, she looked at the six reincarnations and said with a smile, "These six reincarnations must be many pregnant women or pregnant livestock. They are crowded together. Someone must have evil intentions and is planning to use pregnant women or livestock to plot against others."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "The person he wants to deal with is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. I have used this method to plot against others before."

Granny Sha compared the geography of the living world and said, "They are ambushing others outside Xijing City, not far from Guangjiku."

Chen Shi's heart was slightly moved and he became more curious. Guangjiku was full of firearms. Ordinary people were afraid of danger and did not dare to go to Guangjiku. Who would ambush others here?

Granny Sha pointed the black pot and walked from the underworld toward Gaoshan County.

Seeing that Zhong Kui never caught up with him, Chen Shi gradually relaxed and thought, "Grandma Sha and the others are injured, so we must not let them capture Zhong Kui again. Then, who should we find to deal with Zhong Kui?"

Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind and said with a smile: "I have a way to deal with Zhong Kui!"
