On the Avenue.

Chapter 321 Threatening and destroying each other

Chen Tang got out of the car, showing admiration, and praised: "The family background is indeed extraordinary. Tang admires it very much."

Yan Xianzhi looked at his face, as if trying to see carefully whether he really had an expression of admiration.

Chen Tang indeed showed admiration, which made him happy.

Yan Xianzhi smiled and said, "Master Chen Tang, this strange phenomenon in the sky can only be seen by you. I have been sharpening my sword for ten years, but I have never tried it. Today I am showing it to you, Master Chen Tang, so that you can see that the sword of my Thirteenth Family is still sharp. Your father saw this sword in the past, and now you need to see it too."

Chen Tang was filled with respect and said, "The Thirteenth Family has a deep foundation and great ambitions."

Yan Xianzhi looked at him deeply and said with a smile: "After you read it, don't tell anyone else."

He clapped his hands, and several clerks came flying over and presented wine utensils.

Yan Xianzhi poured wine and said, "Your Excellency has been an official for many years, and the court has never treated you unfairly. You left without a word, which disappointed many of your friends."

"It's Tang's fault."

Chen Tang bowed deeply to the ground and said, "My Lord, if you want to punish me, it's all up to you."

Yan Xianzhi picked up the wine glass, held it in front of him, and said with a smile: "You won't need to be punished. After all, you and I have served in the same court for many years. Although we can't be close friends, you have been conscientious in your duties as the Minister of Revenue, and you have ensured the smooth operation of the court without any trouble. Xianzhi admires your talent, but it's a pity that I can no longer use you. For the friendship of more than ten years in the same court, I toast you a glass."

Chen Tang took the wine glass and said, "Thank you, sir!"

Yan Xianzhi picked up another glass of wine and they both drank it in one gulp.

Yan Xianzhi put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "After you return to Xinxiang, live a good life in Qianyang Mountain. Your official position will be retained by the court, and your monthly salary will be sent to your home by the Xinxiang County Government. Master Chen will be the same as you were in the past in Xijing, so you don't have to worry about him."

Chen Tang nodded silently.

Yan Xianzhi's eyes turned red, and he said, "I don't know when I can see you again after you leave. I can't help but feel a little sad."

Chen Tang sighed and bid him farewell.

Yan Xianzhi watched him go away, still waving from afar.

Chen Tang was sitting in the car, looking back, he could still see the sky full of gods. They were the ancestors of the thirteen families. After six thousand years of continuous worship, their divine power had reached an incredible level!
The wooden cart traveled for thousands of miles, but the vision of the sky full of gods was still there. As long as he looked back, he could see the sky full of gods, enjoying the endless incense.

At night, the wooden cart was tired and stopped to rest.

Chen Tang hung up lanterns to ward off evil spirits under the moonlight.

He took out the spirit beast meat, fed the cart, lit a bonfire, cooked, and fed Chen Shiniang. It took him a long time to finish.

It is late at night and the moonlight is dim.

When Chen Tang turned around, what caught his eyes was not the moonlight, but the brilliant divine light.

He can still see the sky full of gods.

Two days later, they crossed the desert and arrived at the West Lake. Chen Tang looked back and saw a sky full of gods.

Another day passed, and he arrived in Xinxiang, returning to Qianyang Mountain, which he had been away from for a long time.

The journey was exhausting and tiring, and he was not worried about himself, but whether Chen Shiniang could bear it.

As night fell, he arrived at Huangpo Village. He hesitated at the entrance of the village and slowed down his pace unconsciously.

"Xiaotang...Xiaotang is back!"

Grandma Yuzhu was using a winnowing basket to shake soybeans at the entrance of the village, picking out the shriveled beans. She stared with dim eyes at the wooden cart and Chen Tang slowly approaching. After watching for a while, she saw that it was Chen Tang. She quickly put down the winnowing basket and said in surprise, "Chen Tang, you have aged a lot! You have been gone for many years! Your father is dead!"

Chen Tang's heart suddenly calmed down, his face no longer serious, and he smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm back. Are you okay?"

Grandma Yuzhu grabbed his hand and babbled on, "...You could read when you were a child. I remember that your father was poor and couldn't afford a teacher, so you took your books to the dirt slope outside the village to read loudly. You were very smart, and everyone in the village praised you. Later, you passed the exam, got married, and had a baby. Your wife is virtuous and kind to others... Where is your wife?"

Chen Tang had a smile on his face, but his expression was a little sad: "She's in the car, Auntie, she's not in good health, she's been in a coma for many years."

Grandma Yuzhu said with regret, "Yes, I remember. Your wife went crazy, and then she became paralyzed. She went crazy when your son died. She couldn't believe that your son was dead, and she went crazy because she couldn't stand it. Later she became paralyzed, and you brought her to Xijing for treatment. It's been more than ten years, and she hasn't been cured yet? And I forgot to tell you that your son is alive! Your father brought him back to life, it was so scary, we all thought that Xiao Shi who came back to life was an evil spirit. Have you seen him?"

Chen Tang listened with a smile, occasionally interrupting, "Yes, Auntie, I have met Xiao Shi."

"Don't mistreat Xiao Shi. He has suffered a lot."

"Yes, Auntie. I won't treat Xiao Shi unfairly."

……

Chen Tang separated from Grandma Yuzhu and walked into the village. He greeted every villager he met with a smile and stopped to talk to them. He listened to them talk about the past. He saw many unfamiliar faces, some of whom were children born after he left, and some of whom were familiar people who had grown old.

Many familiar faces were also missing, probably having passed away.

Old lady Wuzhu came over. She had very good eyesight because she had been catching melon thieves in the melon fields for many years. She was surprised to see him and said, "Chen Tang, how come you have aged so much in half a year? I just saw you last year, and you were very energetic then!"

"Auntie, the person you saw was my brother Chen Wu."

"Nonsense! I heard Xiao Shi calling him dad. If it was your brother Xiao Wu, wouldn't he eat me up?"

"Auntie, it's my brother Chen Wu." Chen Tang explained.

Old lady Wuzhu's face was pale and she returned home trembling. She lay in her coffin for a while in a daze, then burned two incense sticks for herself. It took her a long time to come to her senses.

"Good fortune and good fortune!"

It took Chen Tang a long time to walk the hundred or so steps to Old Chen's house. No one had lived in the house for several months, but fortunately, some talismans such as the Dust-Cleansing Talisman were posted on the house, so it was still very clean.

There are also summer charms in the room, so it is very dry and the bedding does not have any damp or musty smell.

Chen Tang settled his wife down, placed Chen Yindu's spirit tablet, and burned incense on it.

All the noise faded away and he finally calmed down.

The night is dark.

He looked back and saw the sky full of divine light, a huge tripod, incense, and gods standing in the air.

Every day after that, as long as he looked back, he could see the sky full of gods.

This is the intimidation of the thirteen families towards him!
"Dad, did you see this scene back then?" he whispered.

Back then, after Chen Yindu left Xijing, whenever he turned his head, he could always see those gods looking at him majestically.

It was a tremendous pressure and deterrence, as if warning him not to cross the line, not to make any unusual moves, and not to attempt to turn the tables!
"Not enough. Thirty-seven Talisman Gods are far from enough!"

Chen Tang whispered, "Xiao Shi, you are in Xijing, you must hold on!"

Yan Xianzhi returned to Xijing. Although he was not the head of the Yan family, his skills were too clever. He was able to handle fifty provinces in Xiniuzhou and still maintain a stable balance. He returned to the Yan Mansion and came to the study, worrying about what would happen tonight.

His new thirteenth concubine was a young woman who was extremely demanding, which frightened him a little.

"Even a donkey can rest for a night after grinding the millstone for a long time. But my old bones can't even rest."

He thought to himself, "I hope I can get through this night peacefully."

At this time, the spy of the Yan family came to report, saying: "My Lord, Chen Shi is wandering around the city, there is nothing unusual."

Yan Xianzhi waved his hand, asking him to leave, and said, "Keep an eye on Chen Shi at all times, and at the same time send a message to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to have them monitor the underworld and prevent Chen Shi from escaping from the underworld."

He breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Chen Shi used to be very well behaved, either staying at home or going to the Imperial Academy. The reason he was walking around today was to let more people see that he did not leave, so there was no need to hunt down Chen Tang. This kid really knows how to advance and retreat."

Not long after, the spy came to report, "My Lord, there is a girl beside Chen Shi, and she is playing in Qixia Temple now."

Yan Xianzhi didn't care at first, but when he heard about the woman, he became more alert and asked, "What woman?"

"I don't know."

"Where did it come from?"

"I don't know. It just appeared out of nowhere."

Yan Xianzhi couldn't help but become interested and said, "It's no use asking you guys, I'll take a look myself."

He stretched out his hand and brushed lightly, and the air in front of the desk became like a mirror, through which the scenery of Qixia Temple emerged.

Yan Xianzhi's mind moved slightly, the scenery became much closer, and he found Chen Shi's trace.

Beside Chen Shi, there was indeed a woman wearing a white dress and with a graceful figure.

"Master Xiao Chen is already thirteen years old. He can start a family and start a career."

Yan Xianzhi laughed and said, "A gentleman loves a beautiful lady. He was not interested in beautiful women before, but he will be from now on. We can use this to make him vulnerable."

At this moment, the woman in white seemed to have realized something, turned her head to look up at the sky, and her face came into his sight.

Yan Xianzhi felt that the man looked familiar, but suddenly he remembered something and turned pale and shuddered.

"Oh!"

He pushed away the table and chairs, staggered back, and knocked over the vase standing in the corner.

Yan Xianzhi looked at the woman in white in the mirror with horror, as if he had seen a ghost, and almost ran away!
At the same time, the leaders of other families were also monitoring Chen Shi's movements. When they discovered the woman in white, they were so frightened that they almost jumped up.

They were not unfamiliar with the woman in white, because after the collapse of the Moon-Raising Palace, she appeared at the end of the white jade path. When the Xianqiao Blessed Land and Qixia Temple collided in the underworld, she walked into the Xianqiao Blessed Land from the mysterious time and space of Qixia Temple, trying to cross the Xianqiao, come back to life, and return to the world!
She is the white-clothed fairy who was trapped in a strange place at the end of the white jade path. She was the white-clothed fairy who had beaten dozens of ancestors including Li Yiran and seriously injured them, forcing Xijing to activate the Nine Palaces and blast into the Fairy Bridge Blessed Land, causing the Blessed Land to fall into the underworld!
Although this fairy did not cause much harm, she was regarded as an evil creature and was a taboo in Xijing!
According to legend, if she were to be born, it would inevitably cause a catastrophic natural disaster!

However, after the Immortal Bridge incident, there was no trace of this female fairy. Yan Xianzhi thought that this female fairy had been killed by the True King Jiu Palace, but he didn't expect that she would appear next to Chen Shi at this moment!
Chen Shi even took her back to Qixia Temple for a visit!

Don’t you know that if this evil creature breaks out, half of Xiniuzhou will be destroyed?
Soon, thirteen cabinet members gathered in Wenyuan Pavilion, all of them with pale faces. Yan Xianzhi's hands were shaking a little, and he could not hold the teacup steadily, and the lid of the tea bowl banged loudly.

But it wasn't just his tea bowl that was making noise, the other twelve tea bowls were also making noise.

"Chen Shi, you have become an accomplice of the evil creature!"

Xia Canghai's voice was sharp, and he was frightened to the point of sounding a little like a eunuch. He shouted, "Kill them! Immediately activate the Nine Palaces of the True King to kill the evil creatures and their minions!"

Fei Zhong shook his head and said, "That is Xijing. The might of the Nine Palaces of the True King will flatten Xijing as well!"

Xia Canghai said: "Wait until he leaves Xijing and then kill him!"

Gu Yanshan asked, "What if he doesn't leave Xijing? What if that evil creature senses our hostility and attacks us in Xijing?"

Xia Canghai clenched his fists, his face turned pale, and he stopped talking.

The cabinet was silent.

In the era of the True King, evil creatures from the fairyland appeared, which were beyond demons and disasters. Legend has it that they were immortal corpses among the prehistoric residues, and were called calamities.

Evil is only evil that targets a single person or a few people. A weak cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm can kill them. For example, if you open the skull of the infected person and pull out the brainworm, even an ordinary person can step on it to death. A powerful evil can even affect cultivators in the Golden Core Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm. They have already begun to experience incredible power.

The abilities of the evil spirits are hard for ordinary people to understand. For example, the ghost bride can run rampant, kill her godmother, eat the people in a village, and even threaten the town. Its strength can fight against the cultivators of the Nascent Soul Realm and even the Transformation Realm. Some powerful evil spirits even have the ability of demons, but the coverage area is smaller.

The demon, the demon changes into a hundred miles, forming an extremely strange demon transformation area, and even the strong who kill the three corpses and refine the spirit may not be its opponent. Even after the demon transformation ends and the demon grows into a complete form, its strength is even more terrifying, and even the cultivators of the Mahayana realm may not be able to take it down.

Disasters and demonic changes cover an area of ​​thousands of miles and are rarely encountered once in a hundred years. They are called natural disasters.

Evil is the legendary evil creature that wherever it passes, there will be corpses everywhere and all life will be wiped out. It is the highest level of evil!

The nine immortal palaces left behind by the True King are meant to suppress this kind of evil!

Moreover, the role of the Ninth Palace is to suppress and kill evil creatures before they break out and grow into their full form.

If the evil spirit grows into its complete form, I am afraid that even the Nine True Kings will not be able to suppress it!

The immortal corpses among the prehistoric remains are all evil creatures of the evil level!

The fairy in white is the one who has been waiting to enter the real world, a disaster that may erupt at any time!

Now, this evil creature is wandering around Xijing City with Chen Shi!
The atmosphere in the cabinet was extremely depressing.

They left Chen Shi as a proton, but they didn't expect that this proton would play a big trick on them!
Yan Xianzhi calmed down and said, "I think we should take this matter slowly..."

At this time, a clerk from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau came to report: "Your Excellency, Chen Shi and the woman in white left Qixia Temple and are heading towards the inner city!"

Yan Xianzhi shuddered and wanted to speak, but his throat was already hoarse.

Chen Shi walked out of Qixia Temple with the fairy girl in white. In order to reduce the hostility of the thirteen families and reassure them, he wandered around the city and unknowingly came to Qixia Temple. The fairy girl in white who had been recuperating in the shrine of his small temple ran out for some reason, talking in a babbling voice and wanted to follow him into Qixia Temple.

Chen Shi didn't understand what she said, but fortunately Hei Guo understood and told Chen Shi seriously that the girl had an inexplicable feeling of familiarity with this place.

"Aba." The girl touched the dog's head happily.

Chen Shi took her for a walk around the Qixia Temple, thinking that she would remember something, but in fact she remembered nothing and just held her head and cried in pain.

Chen Shi simply took her out of the temple and walked towards the inner city, whispering, "I'll go to the Ninth Palace to take a look around, so that they won't see me and it won't be bad for Chen Tang. When I show up outside the Ninth Palace of the True King, the Thirteen Families will know that I'm the hostage left by Chen Tang, and they will be completely confident in me."

In the cabinet, Yan Xianzhi and thirteen other senior officials looked terrified, and Lord Gao Quan said in a trembling voice: "He entered the inner city and came to the Nine Palaces of the True King!"

His voice was sharp, dominated by fear, and he screamed: "He is threatening us, threatening the Thirteenth Family! He used the White Fairy to threaten us, asking us to let Chen Tang go, and let Chen Tang go home!"
