On the Avenue.

Chapter 289 Fifth Father
Above the courtyard of Chaoxia Palace, one tranquility talisman after another burned out and finally turned into ashes and floated down.

The function of the quiet talisman is not only to prevent the sound from outside from coming in, but also to prevent the sound from inside from coming out.

In the palace, the members of the music troupe seemed not to notice what was happening below, and they all walked out of the Chaoxia Palace.

They only remembered that they were performing the "Heroes Suppressing Demons" here, and as for the rest, they saw nothing. ——Their memories were tampered with by the black pot.

Inside the Chaoxia Palace, Yu Lingzi stood up and looked around in confusion. The crazy scene just now still made him a little dazed.

He could also hear bursts of thunder and the melody of the Demon-Suppressing Song, which took a long time to calm down.

Except for Li Tiangan, Gu Yaner and Ma Xueqing who were still alive, the others had already died.

Only Chen Shi was still standing in a pool of blood, his blood surging violently, and thunder crackling around his body, forming a unique force field.

These thunders are visions brought about by the Thunder Jade Pivot Method. They come at the cost of burning his own energy and blood, causing great damage to his physical body and Nascent Soul. He cannot activate it for a long time, otherwise it will be self-mutilation.

Chen Shi dispersed the Thunder Jade Pivot Technique, and the six-foot-tall body of Thunder Ancestor slowly returned to normal.

The air was filled with the smell of burning blood.

His breath declined rapidly, his energy and blood dried up, and he became weak.

"Yu Lingzi, please return to Taihua Qing Palace immediately."

Chen Shi's voice reached his ears and woke him up. "The trouble here was caused by me. I was not calm enough. It has nothing to do with you. After you leave, I will let Hei Guo erase the memory of everyone here. Even if they find out something fishy, ​​I will take it on myself. It has nothing to do with you."

Suddenly, Yu Lingzi opened his mouth and spit out a dagger about an inch long. He raised his hand and it turned into a sword light, which pierced Li Tianqian's forehead like lightning. Then he turned his hand back and pierced the sword. The dagger moved with his sword finger, and pierced in and out of the temples of Ma Xueqing and Gu Yan'er.

Chen Shi was stunned and looked at him in confusion.

"Since we are on the same boat, I must show my loyalty, and then Junior Master will trust me."

Yu Lingzi put away his sword, and talismans flew out from his sleeves, forming a Fengdu Soul-Dangling Formation, which trapped the spirits of the three people. He then threw the bodies of Jiang Fangshu and others into the Soul-Dangling Formation.

He stepped heavily, and the Fengdu Soul-Dangling Formation suddenly sank and fell into the underworld.

The place where it fell was a gathering place for ghosts and gods, and many ghosts and gods looked up at the sky.

Yu Lingzi activated the Fengdu Soul-Sweeping Formation, covering all the ghosts and gods together. The formation was activated, beating the ghosts and gods to pieces. Yu Lingzi threw a few balls of lightning and fire into the formation, which exploded with a rumble.

Many ghosts and gods were in a rather embarrassing state. They couldn't help but get furious and broke the Fengdu Soul-Stirring Formation. The corpses in the formation, along with the souls of the three people, were torn to pieces.

Yu Lingzi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Young Master Uncle can rest assured now."

He was worried that Chen Shi would definitely kill people to silence him since he had committed such serious crimes. But now that he had also committed serious crimes and was in the same boat with Chen Shi, this junior master shouldn't silence him, right?
Chen Shi hesitated for a moment. Yu Lingzi's method of destroying the corpse was so efficient. It was obviously not the first time he did such a thing.

This little Taoist priest must be dishonest!

Chen Shi hesitated and said, "There is also the Brahma Stream..."

Yu Lingzi rushed out, and Chen Shi took a step forward, only to feel his feet were heavy. He looked down and saw that he was surrounded by criss-crossing lightning marks, forming the shape of Lei Zu's talisman. It seemed that they were the traces formed by the falling thunder when he was dispersing his power just now.

"What Lady Shiji said is correct. The Thunder Jade Pivot Technique consumes too much energy and should not be used lightly!"

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment and thought, "The imperial examination is approaching, and it is indeed a bit reckless for me to use this method. Using the Tianpeng Subduing Demon Method is enough to get rid of them."

He adjusted his Yuanying and regulated his Qi and blood, and the heaviness was slightly relieved.

Chen Shi walked out of Chaoxia Palace, and Hei Guo followed him and tampered with the memories of the servants in the yard.

As soon as he arrived outside the palace, Chen Shi saw Yu Lingzi standing by the well. He tied up the monk Fankongliu's legs and hands, lifted the monk's legs, and threw him upside down into the Dragon-Locking Well.

Fan Kongliu had been beaten unconscious by him, and when he was hung by the well, he happened to wake up and struggled hard.

Yu Lingzi loosened his grip and dropped the monk.

After a long time, a splash sounded from the bottom of the well.

Yu Lingzi rummaged through his sleeves, looking embarrassed.

"What are you looking for?" Chen Shi asked.

"A talisman like the thunder talisman."

Yu Lingzi said, "The Dragon King is locked in the well, with iron chains connecting his internal organs. If these chains are hit by lightning, the lightning will strike the Dragon King's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. The Dragon King will be in excruciating pain after being struck by lightning, and he must be very angry. If he sees Fan Kongliu again, he will kill him. Unfortunately, I used up all the talismans in my sleeves just now because I wanted to destroy the body."

Chen Shi handed him a few Five Thunder Talismans and Nine Yang Thunder and Fire Talismans, and asked curiously: "Yu Lingzi, who did you learn these things from?"

"My master."

Yu Lingzi activated the Five Thunder Talisman and the Nine Yang Thunder and Fire Talisman, threw them into the well, and said, "When I was a child, my master took me to travel the world. When we encountered injustice, we couldn't help but get angry and kill the dignitaries who did evil. After doing so, he would feel very regretful and always use various means to destroy the bodies and cover up the traces. I learned a lot from him."

Lightning flashed in the well, and then the chains vibrated rattlingly, as if some huge monster in the well was angered by the thunder and was pulling the chains with all its might, and the earth was shaking!
The two men looked into the well. It was pitch black and they could not see anything, but there was a fishy smell rising up!
Chen Shi took out a fire talisman and threw it down. The fire talisman fell along the wall of the well, illuminating the surroundings.

However, the fire talisman fell deeper and deeper, and even after it reached a distance of a hundred feet in the well, it still hadn't reached the end.

"How deep is this well?" The two were a little shocked.

When the fire talisman burned out, it finally reached the bottom of the well. There was clear water at the bottom of the well, very clear, and there was no so-called Dragon King.

When the fire talisman began to go out, suddenly a huge and rough eyelid slid in front of the pool of clear water, pushing the water aside.

When the eyelids slid open, a huge pupil was revealed at the bottom of the well, looking into the two of their eyes.

Chen Shi and Yu Lingzi quickly lowered their heads, their hearts pounding.

"Yu Lingzi, this place is already a place of trouble. I'm afraid it won't be long before someone finds out that these young men and women are missing."

Chen Shi stood up and walked out, saying, "Let's go! I'll leave the blame to you."

The Black Pot walks behind and tampers with the memories of those he meets.

The two of them left Qixia Temple and headed straight out of the city. Yu Lingzi was still feeling nervous and uneasy, always feeling that what he had done was not perfect enough.

Chen Shi took out a Heavenly Palace token and stuffed it into his hand, saying, "Yu Lingzi, from now on we are family. It is inconvenient for you to stay in Xijing, go to Gaoshan County to avoid the limelight. When you arrive in Gaoshan County, go to Yu Tiancheng of Hongshan Hall, and he will explain the origin of the token to you."

Yu Lingzi was also worried that he would be exposed if he stayed in Xijing, so he said goodbye and headed for Gaoshan County, thinking to himself, "Young Master really treats me as his own."

He arrived at Gaoshan County, entered the Hongshan Hall branch, and came to see Yutiancheng.

Yu Tiancheng saw the token and said with a smile: "The True King has told you the purpose of the Heavenly Court, right? Our Heavenly Court is a strict organization under the Sanren Sect. We want to rebel. If you get the token, you will either rebel or die."

Yu Lingzi was cheered up: "I am on board!"

Seeing that he was not afraid but eager to try, Yu Tiancheng knew that he was a fellow Taoist and said, "We all have different code names in the Heavenly Court. My code name is Jade Rabbit and Zhuge Jian's code name is Dianshi. What's your code name?" Yu Lingzi thought for a moment and said, "I'll use Taoist as my code name."

On the other side, Chen Shi came to Guangjiku and was a little scared. He held on until the afternoon and then went back with the black pot and wooden cart.

When he arrived at the gate of Xijing City, he looked at the soldiers guarding the city vigilantly and saw many masters of the Shenjiying Camp holding bowl-mouth guns and checking people coming and going.

Chen Shi's eyes twitched. When he arrived at the city gate, the soldiers of the Shenji Camp recognized him and said, "Master Chen, there is no need to check. Let him go. Master Chen looks a little unwell. Did you have fun at Xinghua Tower last night? Master, I have some powerful kidney-tonifying pills here. I heard that they were made by the pharmacist of Hongshan Hall. Would you like some?"

All the firearms of the Shenji Camp are under the management of Guangjiku, so everyone in the Shenji Camp knows that they must not offend this Lord Chen.

"Great Kidney-Nourishing Pills? Was it made by Huang Fengnian? He is quite skillful. When did he join the Red Mountain Hall?"

Chen Shi suppressed his doubts and asked, "What are you investigating?"

"Xiao Wangsun attacked the Shenji Camp at night and kidnapped our leader. We suspected that Xiao Wangsun would come to Beijing, so we searched people passing by." The leader of the Shenji Camp said in annoyance.

"Your boss is..."

"Military officer Jin Hongying, Lord Jin."

Chen Shi was a little surprised when he heard this. Wasn't it Jin Hongying who chased Xiao Wangsun all over the place before? Why did Xiao Wangsun have the audacity to break into the Shenji Camp and kidnap Jin Hongying?
"When a hen crows at dawn, there must be something fishy going on!" he thought to himself.

Since the Shenji Camp was not here to capture him, he entered the city without worry.

He had just entered the city when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder. A voice rang in his ear: "You have killed the children of thirteen noble families, and you still dare to enter the city in such a brazen manner. You are so bold!"

Chen Shi shuddered. The small temple was filled with caltrops that were more than a meter tall. He was about to throw them out, but the sound sounded familiar.

Chen Shi turned his head and saw a familiar face. Creator Xiao Wu looked somewhat similar to Chen Tang. He was wearing a scholar's Taoist robe and was taller than him. He looked at him with a smile.

"Greetings...Uncle Chen Wu!" Chen Shi was surprised and happy.

Creator Xiaowu snorted, "Don't call me so affectionately. I am Creator Xiaowu, not Chen Wu. Don't call me uncle. I won't agree even if you call me dad. I'm just teasing you. Don't think I have any affection for you."

He paused and added, "Your grandfather beat me to death several times, and I haven't settled the score with you Chens yet..."

Chen Shi interrupted him and said, "Uncle Wu, I have been thinking about you since you left that day."

Creator Xiaowu fell silent, then suddenly burst into laughter. After a moment, his expression suddenly darkened and he said coldly, "If you try to use family affection to restrain me again, I will break your neck! Do you understand? Follow me."

Chen Shi obediently followed him into the city, and Hei Guo also became extremely honest at this moment.

Creator Xiaowu said: "You did a good job in Qixia Temple, which suited my taste very well. However, you did a rough job and left many clues. You didn't kill everyone who saw you. Do you think that you can't restore the memory of others by tampering with this dog? You underestimated the Thirteenth Family."

Chen Shi was shocked and asked, "Can the Thirteenth Family find out that it was me who did it?"

"can."

Creator Xiaowu said, "But I can't do that now. I have already killed all the people in Qixia Temple who have seen you. I have also erased the traces of your thunder magic. I am not doing this for your own good."

He added: "I want to watch you defeat Chen Tang!"

He showed excitement and said with a smile: "Chen Tang is my younger brother. I haven't seen him for the past few years, and he always looks like he deserves a beating. When he was a child, he was very jealous and always wanted to perform better in front of dad, but I was always better. He was jealous to death every time! He also tried to do bad things and put the blame on me, but I exposed him, and dad hung him up and beat him."

He recalled the past and became even more excited: "Every time this happens, it is always the happiest time for me. He is no longer fun after he grows up. He is too cunning and I can rarely irritate him. However, I can teach you how to defeat him."

Chen Shi said: "Fifth Uncle, I have hurt my vitality, I am afraid I can't practice well..."

Creator Xiaowu smiled and said, "It's just a little bit of vitality, it can be easily replenished."

He brought Chen Shi to Tingyu Tower at Sandaokou, Chang'an Street, where a middle-aged man with a big belly came to him and said, "Chen Wu, it's time for you to pay the rent."

"Can you give me a few days?"

Creator Xiaowu begged, "I'm not well off lately."

The middle-aged man, with a big belly, said unhappily, "Today I will give you some time, tomorrow I will give you some time, how many times can I give you some time? If you have money, you can continue to stay here. If you don't have money, pack up your bedding and go back to your hometown!"

Creator Xiaowu's face darkened, he licked his lips, and said honestly, "How much?"

"Pay three taels of silver this month." said the middle-aged man.

Chen Shi took out three taels of loose silver and paid the rent. The middle-aged man took the money and called another person over, shouting, "Min Ting, you bastard, it's time to pay the rent! No money? If you don't have money, go sell your ass!"

Creator Xiaowu took Chen Shi upstairs, snorted coldly, and said, "If I didn't really owe him rent, I would have made him die miserably!"

Chen Shi said: "Is this boss a senior in the Mahayana realm?"

Creator Xiaowu shook his head.

"Could it be the Tribulation Realm?"

Creator Xiaowu shook his head again and said, "He is just an ordinary person who has achieved the state of a god. I will not bother with him."

Chen Shi thought to himself: "Incarnation realm or ordinary people?"

The two of them went upstairs and entered the room rented by Xiaowu. It was not big, just one room. There were a few sets of clean clothes hanging in the closet, and a few pairs of shoes, also washed very clean. Apart from that, there were the four treasures of the study, nothing else.

"Uncle Wu, please move in with me."

Chen Shi suggested, "There's still room available in Chen Tang's house."

"No, I can't live with him."

Creator Xiaowu pulled out a stool and said, "Besides, I have money, a lot of money, but I have no way to cash it out."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you know how to sell the stolen goods?"

Chen Shi was puzzled.

Creator Xiaowu said: "After I came to Xijing, I killed a few people and looted some property, but I had no way to sell the stolen goods, so I had to live here in disgrace."

He can handle most of the problems in the world, and can solve powerful beings like the ancestors of the aristocratic families, but the only thing he can't solve is interpersonal relationships. A heavy cloud of corpses hung over Xijing. They were the corpses of the powerful people in Xijing. These people had a lot of property on them, but Xiaowu, the creator, had no way to deal with these properties.

Chen Shi hesitated and said, "I do have a way to sell the stolen goods. I have an accountant in the Heavenly Palace who has done business all the way to Xijing. If you are in urgent need of money, I will take you to see him."

Creator Xiaowu's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Don't worry. I'll take you to replenish your energy first. By the way, tell Gouzi that you won't go back to Chen Tang's place to sleep tonight. I'll take you to a good place!"

Chen Shi said: "What good place?"

"I used the void realm of the two ancestors of the Li family to refine the small universe!"
