On the Avenue.

Chapter 356: Crowned King (asking for monthly ticket)

When these words were spoken, not only Prince Kun and others were stunned, but even Chen Shi was dumbfounded.

He originally thought that the purpose of these ghost clan leaders was to get the Blood Lake Sutra that he had deciphered, and that they invited him to the palace of the king to coerce and bribe him to pass on the Blood Lake Sutra. ——But if he could leave alive, Chen Shi didn't mind passing on this technique.

If the Blood Lake Scripture were to spread, it would surely cause chaos in the Tianchi Ghost Kingdom, with people killing each other and everyone in danger, leaving them no time to take care of them.

But what he never expected was that the minds of these ghost clan leaders were so fast and unbelievable that they would actually let him become the next leader of Tianchi Kingdom!
In the small temple behind his head, Pengju, Peng Yaner and Sang Xixi were also paying close attention to the movements outside. When they heard Lei Qu's words, they were also shocked.

Peng Ju and Peng Yan'er were easy to deal with, as the two siblings already admired Chen Shi with all their might. However, Sang Xixi was completely bewildered: "No, no, isn't the top scholar a living person? How did he become the ruler of the Tianchi Ghost Country?"

Can the selection of a leader be so hasty?
Beside Chen Shi, Lady Shiji whispered, "Your Excellency, did you kill the previous king?"

Chen Shi groaned. Seeing the scene before him, even he suspected that he had killed the previous king and bribed the 112 tribal chiefs of Tianchi Kingdom.

Prince Xiang Kun and the ghosts and gods who came to pay their respects were both shocked and angry. They had come here in the first place just for the position of king.

Prince Xiang Kun had long been planning for the throne. He bribed many frustrated or ambitious ghosts and gods, accumulated strength, searched for treasures to enhance his own bloodline power, hoping that one day when his father grew old, he could send his father to heaven as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, this time when the old king led the clan's masters out, he encountered an accident and died.

He came here as soon as possible and brought with him almost all the masters of the East Palace. Anyone who dared to oppose him becoming the next king would be buried with the old king.

But what happened to this little skeleton that appeared out of nowhere?

Why could this little skeleton get the support of 112 tribal chiefs?

The power structure of Tianchi State is relatively loose, based on a tribal system. The ruler of Tianchi State is usually either the patriarch of the largest tribe, the patriarch of the strongest tribe, or the person with the strongest personal strength. But there is no precedent for a skeleton to be the ruler!
Prince Xiang Kun gritted his teeth. With the support of 112 tribal chiefs, it was basically a done deal. Even if he opposed it, it would be of no use.

Even if he mobilized the masters of the East Palace, he would definitely not be able to defeat these old guys.

However, he could not tolerate watching the throne fall into the hands of someone else, and that of a little skeleton.

Prince Xiang Kun looked at the Prime Minister, who understood and stepped forward, saying in a deep voice: "My fellow clan leaders, the state leader is of great importance. Since ancient times, the state leaders have been selected from the various tribes of our ghost tribe. We have never chosen a skeleton monk as the state leader. Moreover, the skeleton monk is not a ghost tribe."

Chi Di said: "The Skeleton Ghost Clan is also a Ghost Clan!"

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister could not help but get angry and said, "Skeleton monks are just monks from the Yang world who died and whose souls fell into the underworld and attached themselves to skeletons. How can they be ghosts?"

Chidi said angrily: "Is there any difference between being born in the mother's womb and being born and raised in the wild?"

“Why is there no difference?”

The Prime Minister said angrily, "We have physical bodies, and they don't!"

"Bones are not flesh?" Chidi sneered.

Next to Xiang Kun, another ghost said: "Since ancient times, the son has inherited the father's business..."

Chief Leiqu shook his head and said, "There is no such rule. Back off."

Another powerful ghost said, "For all the rulers of the past dynasties, strength is the most important thing. How can this little skeleton ghost become the ruler without going through challenges from all the tribes?"

The other powerful ghosts nodded one after another: "Without selection, how can we convince the public?"

Lei Tongdao: "We 112 clan leaders support the new leader, why do we need to select one? As for convincing the people, we have to convince them first and then we can convince those who are not convinced."

The leader of the Qingsha clan said: "We have our own ways to make you submit."

The elders all laughed and said, "We are here just to tell you that Chen Shi will take over as the king and will soon ascend the throne. We are not here to let you little bastards question us."

All the ghosts and gods present fell silent.

The clan leaders of each clan have developed their blood to the extreme, and have served as clan leaders for many years. They have been worshipped by their clan members for a long time and have supernatural powers comparable to the strongest monks in the world. If these old guys want to nominate Chen Shi, then Chen Shi will be the new king!
This is a notification, not a negotiation!
All the ghosts and gods were silent.

Lei Qu looked around and said earnestly, "Your Majesty is the wise ruler in the legend who can lead us to a prosperous and prosperous era. You should assist Your Majesty with all your heart. Do you understand?"

There was silence.

Chen Shi coughed and wanted to speak, but everyone's eyes were on him, so he said nothing.

He was still a little confused.

Even until Chen Shi sat on the throne and was crowned, accepting the worship of various ethnic groups, and the clan leaders of various ethnic groups came forward to kowtow and offer incense, Chen Shi was still a little confused and had not fully woken up.

The ascension of the new ruler was a great event, with all the ghost tribes hanging lanterns and celebrating. However, when they learned that the new ruler was a skeleton ghost, they looked at each other in bewilderment and talked a lot behind their backs.

The next day after Chen Shi took the throne, he finally came to his senses from the commotion of yesterday and thought to himself, "My father and Granny Sha are still trying to exorcise the demon for me. They probably don't know that while they were doing that, I went to the ghost tribe and became the ruler."

This is outrageous.

He still finds it incredible.

He calmed down, and then the commander Peng Ju came to report, saying, "Your Majesty, the leader of the Thunder Ape tribe, Lei Qu, wants to see you."

Chen Shi stood up from the magnificent throne, wearing a thick fur cloak made from the fur of a creature from the underworld that was between ghosts and monsters. It was luxurious and full of extraordinary power and various strange blood powers. It should have been made by sacrificing the blood of various races.

On his head he wore a golden crown inlaid with various gems, and he held a scepter beside the throne, which was several times taller than him.

Chen Shi thought for a moment, put down the scepter, and said, "Please let him in."

A moment later, Lei Qu followed Peng Ju into the palace. Seeing Chen Shi's disheveled clothes and open arms, revealing his ribs, pelvis, and leg bones, he quickly raised his hand to block his view and said, "Your Majesty, please spare my eyes."

Interior Minister Sang Xixi hurried forward and helped Chen Shi wrap his fur cloak tighter.

Chen Shi walked down the steps, came to Lei Qu, and said with a smile: "I am just a dried-up skeleton, so it doesn't matter whether I wear this dress or not. Old Lei, I still don't understand."

There were two balls of flame in the eye sockets of his skull, burning faintly, staring at Lei Qu.

Lei Qu looked like an old ape, with all the hair on his face white. He wore black clothes, moved like a human, and spoke and behaved like a human. He asked, "Your Majesty, are you confused about how you can ascend to the throne?"

Chen Shi nodded slightly, but didn't dare to move his head too much.

He has no hair, just a bony skull. The crown will fall off.

Lei Qu smiled and said, "I also know that Your Majesty has this question, so the leaders of the 112 tribes nominated me to come here and explain this matter to Your Majesty."

The two walked and talked until they arrived outside the palace.

Lei Tong: "My Tianchi country is just one of the many ghost countries in the underworld." Chen Shi's heart moved slightly: "There are other ghost countries."

Lei Tong said: "There are several other ghost countries in Yinshan Mountain, and there are also some outside Yinshan Mountain. However, the legends of all ghost countries have the same history, that is, the ghost countries at that time were prosperous and civilized, with all kinds of wonderful Taoism and magical powers. The world was not what it is today. There was the sun and the moon in the underworld sky, and you could see the stars at night."

Chen Shi stood in front of the royal palace, looking at the large and small Tianchi. There were hundreds of Tianchi, and the ghost tribes were scattered around these Tianchi.

“The sky wasn’t leaking then either.”

Lei Qu looked at the waterfall a hundred miles away and said, "The sky didn't crack, there was no waterfall, and there was no fog moon. At that time, we could practice and ascend to become immortals. But suddenly, for some reason, all the ghosts became illiterate and no longer recognized the language and writing passed down from generation to generation. The sun and the moon disappeared, the stars hid, the fog moon appeared, the immortals disappeared, and the gods died and hung on the Wuliang Cliff."

Chen Shi couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

Lei Qu shook his head: "I don't know. In the legends of various tribes, there are only sporadic records of the Golden Age, and these legends are passed down in poetry. Now is the Dark Age, and there is no way to know what happened during this period."

Chen Shi's eyes fell on the Tiantingzhe who was on the eaves of the palace not far away, and said, "Similar things have happened in the world of the living."

He recalled the incident of the True King being canonized as an immortal and eliminating two realms of transcendence and ascension, which was very similar to what happened to the ghost clan's Wang Yu.

Lei Tong said: "But your majesty knows the lost language of our ghost clan, and even the big-headed ghost woman beside your majesty can use the magic weapon left by the sages!"

Lady Shiji was furious. She flew out of the small temple behind Chen Shi's head. After landing, she grabbed Lei Qu by the collar and lifted him up in the air: "Monkey, if you have the guts, just mention the word ghost woman! I will bury you and the old king together!"

Lei Qu quickly begged for mercy and said with a smile: "Big-headed girl..."

Niangniang Shiji raised her fist and was ready to send him to death.

Chen Shi said: "Lei clan leader, this is Lady Shiji, a deity."

Lei Qu hurriedly said, "This old man greets the Majesty Shiji! Please forgive me if I have offended you."

Lady Shiji felt much more relieved. She put him down and said, "The owner of that copper coin and I are old acquaintances. How did his copper coin end up here?"

Lei Qu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Niangniang Shiji couldn't help but ask, "What do you know?"

"In the poems passed down from generation to generation by my tribe, our ancestors came from the world of the four continents. They moved here because they were defeated in the war to avoid being hunted down and killed."

Lei Qu looked at Chen Shi with a fanatical look of admiration and worship, and said, "I also know that in these poems that are recited by word of mouth, in the future of the dark age, there will be a great man descending from the sky to decipher the skills of each race, teach us the long-lost divine language, and help us walk out of the darkness and restore the light!"

Lady Shiji looked at Chen Shi suspiciously, thinking: "A strange man? Is he an envoy? He doesn't look like one at all..."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I think the poems you passed down from generation to generation must have been made up to prevent your descendants from despairing of this world. That's why they made up the prophecy of a great man descending from the sky to save the world. I'm not great at all. I'm just an ordinary number one scholar in the world of the living."

"maybe."

Lei Qu didn't know what the champion was. With a gleam in his old eyes, he smiled and said, "The elders may want to deceive us, but it is a coincidence that your majesty has practiced the Blood Lake Sutra, deciphered the lost ancient texts, and understands the lost divine language. Moreover, your majesty came from the world of the living, and descended from the sky."

The light in his eyes became more and more fanatical, and a feeling of reverence arose spontaneously, which made Chen Shi feel a little scared.

"The moment you fell from the sky, the old king died. It was obvious that he was making way for you!"

Lei Qu said quickly, "You can also drive the great... Goddess Shiji to sacrifice the artifacts left by our ancestors, so that our treasures cannot be used! If this is not the will of heaven, what is it? This is the arrangement of heaven! The dark age is finally over!"

Chen Shi had a headache. After Lei Qu's explanation, he realized that this was indeed the explanation.

"Think whatever you want." He said to himself.

The King of Tianchi is just a decoration. Each ethnic group handles its own affairs, and only asks the King to step in when they are unable to handle it.

The king does not need to attend court on weekdays, and does not need to worry about everything. Domestic affairs are left to Sang Xixi and Peng Yaner, and foreign affairs are left to the prime minister.

Chen Shi thought for a moment, then spoke frankly, "Lei clan leader, I can't stay in the underworld forever. I will definitely return to the world of the living after I finish my business. I can teach you the Blood Lake Scripture, and I can also help decipher the skills of your various clans, and even teach you the divine language. Then you can choose a leader for yourselves."

Lei Qu's face changed slightly, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry to teach the Blood Lake Sutra! Your Majesty, if the Blood Lake Sutra is spread out, Tianchi Kingdom will be finished! And other tribes' skills should not be deciphered in a hurry, otherwise it will be finished if they are spread out! Your Majesty needs extraordinary courage to suppress the masters of various tribes, so that spreading it out at this time will not cause unrest!"

Chen Shi thought about it. If the Blood Lake Scripture was spread out, the ghosts and gods who practiced this technique would definitely commit a lot of murder. If other ghost techniques were spread out, the harm would be even greater. With extraordinary strength, they would breed power desire, and the Tianchi Kingdom would surely fall apart and war would break out.

"But after the demon in my body is removed, I will have to return to the world of the living." Chen Shi thought to himself.

Lei Qu didn't know what he was thinking and smiled: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and there is one thing I have not reported to you yet. Your Majesty has no beauties in the harem, so our tribes are going to select female ghosts with dignified and beautiful appearance, gentle temperament, and elegant temperament from our tribes, and send them to the palace to fill the harem..."

Chen Shi looked at his appearance carefully, and he resembled the appearance of the Big Belly Tribe, the Green Evil Tribe and other tribes. He thought that the women of each tribe should be similar, so he couldn't help but shudder.

"Patriarch, please look."

Chen Shi untied his cloak, revealing his entire body, and said, "Do you think I still need beauties in my harem?"

Lei Qu came to his senses and couldn't help but look worried. He thought to himself, "In the past, all tribes maintained their relationships with their rulers in this way, but the Skeleton Ghost Tribe doesn't seem to need harem beauties..."

After Lei Qu left, Chen Shi continued to sit on the throne and practice the Blood Lake Sutra, refining drops of divine blood.

His Blood Lake Hell became larger and larger, and his soul became stronger and stronger. In a few days, the lake surface reached more than ten miles, but it was still too early to reach the Blood Sea Realm.

This skeleton's body became stronger and stronger, and the aura it exuded became more and more astonishing, even giving people a strong sense of oppression!
Chen Shi didn't know how strong this skeleton body was.

The progress of the Blood Lake Sutra was so rapid that it was difficult to measure it using the realm system of the mortal world.

That day, Chen Shi rested his head on the thighs of the white-clothed fairy. The white-clothed fairy touched his skull. Chen Shi felt extremely comfortable and drowsy.

Ever since he was possessed by the skeleton, he has not been influenced by Peng Qiao anymore. He feels pure in his heart and has no improper thoughts even when he is resting his head on the girl's legs.

At this moment, a powerful summoning force suddenly came, and Chen Shi's heart moved slightly: "My mother-in-law summoned me back!"

He hurriedly stood up and left Lady Shiji in the palace, saying, "Shiji, you stay here first and protect my kingdom! I'll be back soon!"

"call--"

His soul flew away and disappeared without a trace.

When Niangniang Shiji looked over, she saw Chen Shi's skeleton sitting there, mechanically activating the Blood Lake Sutra and practicing on his own, while the Blood Lake Hell behind his head continued to grow larger.

——Brothers, please vote for me at the beginning of the month! I am only a few hundred votes away from the previous one!
