On the Avenue.

Chapter 345 Blood Lake Scripture

"Each of Granny Sha and the others are capable of their own work, so they will be fine. What's more, my father is out there with the thirty-seven Heavenly Secrets. Even if my body escapes back to the world of the living, it won't cause much trouble. I'll just wait for them here..."

Chen Shi felt a little relieved when he thought of this.

His body would definitely not be able to run far, so I just need to wait here. After Grandma Sha and the others exorcise the demon, they will send his body back or summon his soul back.

He looked into the distance and saw a group of extremely tall mountains. They should be the projection of Qianyang Mountain in the underworld.

Chen Shi wandered around the ruined palace, looking for ancient ruins to see if he could find any clues about his godmother.

"Stone tablet godmother, could it be the stone tablet outside this palace?"

Chen Shi's soul flew into the air and his eyes swept over the palace ruins. Although the palace had been destroyed, one could still see how magnificent the palace complex here was in the past.

This should be a temple, covering the sky and connecting the earth, spanning the yin and yang worlds.

The old willow tree outside the temple has been alive for who knows how many years. It is lush and green, and has received part of the temple's incense. It possesses extraordinary power, so it can also penetrate the yin and yang worlds.

This point shocked Chen Shi the most!
Because his magic weapon, the Iron Ruler, was only this good when he was in the underworld!

Chen Shi has not yet fully utilized the power of the Zhangtian Iron Ruler. He can only rely on it to make it bigger or smaller, so that he can defeat the Yin Cha, and even severely injure the young master Wei Yue, Zhuang Wujiu and others.

When the Zhangtian Iron Ruler was in the underworld, it stood tall and straight, extremely huge.

However, the roots of the old willow tree were as thick as an iron ruler, and some of them were even buried deep in the hills!
"This old willow tree is much more powerful than the iron ruler! So, who is my godmother?"

Chen Shi looked up at Zhu Xiucai in the sky and exclaimed: "My mentor Zhu Xiucai's ghost is hanging on this willow tree, forming this spectacular and strange spectacle!"

"I wonder if I can follow the roots of the willow tree to the living world?"

He flew upwards along the roots of the tree and felt that the closer he got to the zenith, the greater the pressure from above. The zenith was close to the real world, and everything was material. To ghosts and monsters without physical bodies, even the slightest bit of material was as heavy as a mountain.

Chen Shi is dead. Although he is in the state of primordial spirit, he is a ghost without a physical body. Even if he is still a spirit, he is still a ghost in the state of primordial spirit. Therefore, he cannot bear the pressure of the real world.

"call--"

The cold wind howled in the sky, shaking his body. He rolled in the wind, feeling cold all over.

This kind of cold wind can damage the soul. If one is blown by it frequently, one's cultivation will probably be greatly damaged.

Chen Shi activated the Xiaolang Emperor Chapter to resist the evil wind, and suddenly froze: "Xiaolang Emperor Chapter is a practice for the physical body, the soul cannot be cultivated!"

He was swept up by the howling wind and blown away.

The negative energy in the sky condensed to form gloomy clouds, which were then carried away by the cold wind. There were many ice crystals in the clouds, as sharp as swords!
Chen Shi tried his best to steady his body and activated the third new talisman, controlling the lightning to flash repeatedly in the air and avoid the ice crystals.

A huge wave of waves rose in his mind: "Wuji Jade Pearl Art, moving qi and blood, refining qi and blood into jade beads, running in the flesh. Without a flesh, it is impossible to practice. Wuxian Guanhua Gong, collecting the five elements of positive energy, cultivating the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, strengthening qi and blood to refine the inner elixir. Without a flesh, it is impossible to practice. Xuanwei Sword Sutra, internally refine sword energy, gather qi and blood at the center of the eyebrows, and hide sword energy in the hundreds of orifices. Without a flesh, it is impossible to practice. Transformation Treasure True Art, without a flesh, it is impossible to practice. Beidi Subduing Demon Magic Mantra, without a flesh, it is impossible to practice. Tianpeng Subduing Demon Method, without a flesh, it is impossible to practice, Fenglei Yubu Magic Mantra, without a flesh, it is impossible to practice..."

While dodging the ice crystals formed by the Yin Qi in the strong wind, he checked all the techniques he knew. However, any technique for cultivation, improving strength, or even some combat techniques could not be practiced!

Especially the Tianpeng Subduing Demon Method and the Lei Ting Yu Shu Method. These types of combat methods require the consumption of a large amount of energy and blood, and they must be supported by the physical body!

In the underworld, these methods cannot be used!
However, the soul can still use magic and supernatural powers, but it will only waste its own cultivation. Especially in a place like the underworld, without a physical body, the soul will only become weaker and weaker.

The wind became stronger, and Chen Shi's heart moved slightly, and he drew a wind-fixing talisman in the air.

This talisman only contained air, no blood. It stopped the wind for a moment, then suddenly collapsed and disintegrated. Chen Shi was swept away by the howling wind.

Chen Shi tumbled in the wind and immediately activated his Yuanshen Daochang to use it to stop the wind.

As soon as the Yuanshen Taoist Temple appeared, it was immediately connected with the external world. The Yin Qi penetrated into the Taoist Temple and went into his body!

Chen Shi immediately retracted the temple, but was shocked by the negative energy that seeped in and shivered, and his soul seemed to be frozen.

He has been in and out of the underworld many times. It looks completely different with and without a physical body!

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, making it impossible for him to keep his balance. He could only grit his teeth and activate the third new talisman repeatedly, controlling the thunder in the cold wind. His body flashed quickly, trying to escape from the cold wind.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally broke through the gloomy wind and fell from the air involuntarily.

Chen Shi was shivering from the cold, his soul seemed to be solidified. He forced his magic power to slow down his fall, but he still fell down heavily.

Not far away, fog was flowing along the ground, and many ghosts were wading through the fog in confusion, walking in the same direction.

There was a ghost in the fog, who must have been chilled by the cold wind just now, and was warming himself by a bonfire.

Chen Shi couldn't help but follow the ghost forward. He came to his senses when he saw the bonfire on the side of the road. He thought to himself, "What power has bewitched me?"

He walked out of the ghost shivering, came to the ghost's campfire, squatted down shivering, and stretched out his hands to warm the fire.

The ghost who was roasting by the fire was of unknown species. It had a bird's head and a human face, a long bird's beak, nostrils on the beak, green skin, and red hair. It was floating upwards and looked at Chen Shi who was roasting by the fire with confusion.

He had wings and was hit by ice crystals in the cold wind. One of the ice crystals was stuck in his wing and the wound was bleeding.

He could see that Chen Shi was different from him, but he did not stop Chen Shi from roasting a fire. Instead, he groped in the mist, pulled out a few pieces of "firewood" and stuffed them into the campfire.

——Those few pieces of firewood, I don’t know if they were leg bones and ribs of humans or other creatures, but they burned up when they encountered the green flames and were able to drive away the negative energy.

Gradually, Chen Shi's body warmed up a little and he activated the second new talisman.

This new talisman was drawn by the fairy in white, and it was used to decipher the prehistoric text pattern on the iron ruler.

The second new talisman is a talisman for refining the spirit, which can refine the Yin energy in the body and make the body and the spirit closer to pure Yang.

While Chen Shi was warming himself by the fire, he silently recited the words of God in his mind.

"The round light of Tai Chi, the divine power of ruler movement. The righteousness of the five elements, the infinite movement. The ancestor of Hunyuan, the movement of scenery success. The auxiliary Tao is powerful, the thunder and the wind are driven away, and all the qi are united!"

Lightning flashed in his body, forming a Tai Chi diagram, which refined away the invading Yin energy.

He silently recited the divine language more than ten times and activated the second new talisman more than ten times in a row, and the invading negative energy in his soul was completely refined.

Strangely enough, as he eliminated his negative energy, his hair began to float upwards.

He was in the form of a spirit, more than two meters tall, with his hair floating in the sky, as if in water, which was extremely magical.

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the ghost with a bird's head and a human face who was roasting by the fire was looking at him in surprise, he hesitated for a moment, then pointed his right hand like a sword and touched the ghost's wound.

Chen Shi silently recited the divine language and activated the second new talisman. The five energies mixed together to form Tai Chi lightning, which gradually refined the ice crystals on the ghost's wound.

He repeated this several times, refining the negative energy in the ghost's body. Then he stood up and looked around.

All I saw were vast mountains and tall forests all around, and countless ghosts walking in the mountains, wading through the fog.

As for the high hills of Huangpo Village and the willow tree roots that stretched from the sky to the ground, they were nowhere to be seen!
"It doesn't matter. Granny Sha will soon find out that I'm missing, and she will call back my soul and let me return to my body." Chen Shixin thought. "Quack, quack." The bird-beaked ghost extinguished the bonfire and said to him.

Chen Shi laughed and said, "I don't understand ghost talk..."

When his words came out, they became "quack quack" sentences.

Chen Shi suddenly realized: "I'm dead and turned into a ghost. Of course I can understand ghost talk! As soon as I open my mouth, I speak nonsense!"

The bird-beaked ghost thanked him earnestly, saying, "My name is Pengju, thank you for saving me."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "My name is Chen Shi. Just now you let me warm myself by the fire, so I naturally want to repay you. Do you know where this is?"

Pengju said: "This place is called Yinshan, and it is known as the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

Chen Shi thought carefully, except for the Yellowstone Mountains, there seemed to be no other place in Xiniu Island with so many mountains. However, the Yellowstone Mountains had many volcanoes, and thick smoke covered the sky, which was different from the scene here.

This is obviously not the Henggong Mountains. The Henggong Mountains are mostly round mountains, which do not match the mountains here.

"How can I get back?"

Just as Chen Shi was thinking about this, his wrist suddenly tightened and was grabbed by Pengju. Chen Shi then realized that he had unknowingly walked into the group of ghosts and followed the ghosts into the distance!
Peng Ju said: "If you are taken away by these ghosts, I'm afraid you will become food for ghosts."

Chen Shi quickly said, "I just died, I don't know these things."

"No wonder."

Peng Ju said, "You should be a monk, right? I can hear your accent, it doesn't sound like a local accent."

Chen Shi said: "I'm from Xinxiang."

Pengju blinked his eyes, not understanding where Xinxiang was.

Chen Shi explained: "There is a big willow tree that runs through the Yin and Yang worlds. Under the big willow tree is a high hill."

“It turned out to be Gao Gang’s.”

Peng Ju suddenly realized and said, "I just saw you using thunder magic to refine Yin Qi. Do you know the book of ghosts and gods?"

His eyes sparkled as he took out a ghost book from his arms and looked at Chen Shi expectantly.

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, took the ghost book, and said, "I shouldn't be able to understand it... eh?"

He opened the ghost book and saw that the ghost-like characters on the book suddenly became regular in his eyes. Although Chen Shi had never learned this kind of characters, he could read them!
This kind of text is very similar to the text pattern on the Zhangtian Iron Ruler, but the amount of information it contains is far less than that of the Zhangtian Iron Ruler.

Chen Shi had seen the four new symbols that were deciphered from the Zhangtian Tiechi characters, and when he looked at the characters on the ghost book, he was able to understand them!
This ghost book records a method called the Blood Lake Sutra, which is a method specifically for cultivating the soul!

Chen Shi was in a daze, feeling that something was wrong.

"When I comprehended the four new symbols, I clearly heard the sacred language of the gods, reciting the true scriptures. Obviously, the words and patterns on the iron ruler should be divine words. But how can divine words be connected with ghost words?"

He repeatedly read the words in the book "Blood Lake Sutra", which were similar to the words in Hei Guo's ghost book, and should be ghost writing.

But Chen Shi had only learned the divine language contained in the four new talismans, yet he was able to understand the ghost writing!
"There must be something wrong here!"

He didn't say anything for a long while, and Pengju said sadly: "Don't you understand it either?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I can understand it. But how did you get this book?"

Pengju said: "It's inherited from my ancestors."

"Really?" Chen Shi was a little skeptical.

"Absolutely true!"

Pengju was quite excited, raised his finger to the sky and swore, "If I tell even a single lie, God will strike me with lightning! This is the martial arts passed down from my ancestors, but my father and grandfather were illiterate and couldn't understand it."

Chen Shi was skeptical and said with a smile: "Since it is passed down from your ancestors, you should know the name of this technique, right?"

"Blood Lake Scripture!"

Chen Shi was full of doubts. Pengju could tell the name, so it must be passed down from his ancestors. Could it be that the divine and ghost writings were really connected?
Also, who drew the four new symbols on the desk?

"My father definitely doesn't have this ability. I'm afraid it's not my grandfather either. If my grandfather came back, he would have woken me up long ago. The only expert around me during that time was..."

An image of a woman flashed through his mind.

"Mrs. Shiji! Could it be that Shiji drew those four new talismans to repay my kindness in cultivating her?"

Pengju looked at him pleadingly and said, "Can you teach me?"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Of course. However, I can't stay in the underworld for long. It won't be long before someone summons my soul and resurrects me."

Pengju was a little skeptical.

Chen Shi was very sure.

In the world of the living, Granny Sha, Du Yiran, Qingyang, Hu Xiaoliang and Azhu were frantically chasing "Chen Shi". That "Chen Shi" was a demon, very cunning and elusive. When he found that they were chasing him, he immediately dispersed his multi-armed appearance, blended into the crowd, hid his body, and took the opportunity to escape.

Granny Sha and the others were extremely worried. Even though the five of them had many tricks up their sleeves, it was still extremely difficult to catch a demon that was trying to escape.

Hu Xiaoliang caught up with Granny Sha and asked, "Can we summon Xiao Shi's spirit to defeat this demon?"

Granny Sha was a little mad, and said, "We have to find Xiao Shi's body first! What's the point of recalling his spirit without a body? Black Pot, did you smell Xiao Shi's scent?"

They chased him for tens of thousands of miles and came to Niucheng. "Chen Shi" was mingling in the downtown area. Hei Guo put his nose to the ground and sniffed around in front, searching for the scent of "Chen Shi".

Suddenly, Hei Guo sneezed several times and tears flowed.

Qingyang lay on the ground, sniffed, sneezed, and said angrily: "Old Demon Chen sprinkled pepper on the ground!"

At this moment, a figure in white came into their sight.

Granny Sha's eyes lit up and she said with a smile, "Xiao Shi's lover! Follow her! Girl, where is your lover?"

The fairy in white was so shy when she saw them that she quickly hid behind an old woman who was buying tea eggs.

A small temple involuntarily appeared behind the old woman's mind. Seeing Granny Sha and others rushing towards her, she quickly revealed her true form and fled!
Chen Shi taught Pengju the Blood Lake Sutra for two days in Yinshan Mountain in the underworld, but Granny Sha never summoned his soul.

"He doesn't know it yet. He's already dead."

Pengju sighed and said, "Chen Shi, if you have nowhere to go, then come with me. I am running errands for the East Palace."
