On the Avenue.

Chapter 383: Cross-generational relationship

Before leaving, Chen Shi also taught the Yin-Yang Refining passed down by Taoist Tianzhen to Taoist Changying and Patriarch Qiongyang, saying: "Although this refining method is not an immortal-level method, nor is it a method of cultivating corpses like the Water and Fire Refining Method, but practicing this method may help avoid tragedies like the one that happened to Taoist Jinghong."

Patriarch Qiongyang carefully studied the mystery of Yin Yang Refining, pondered it several times, and could not help but be moved: "By practicing Yin Yang Refining, Senior Brother Jinghong can completely avoid evil transformation! Whether he can become an immortal is hard to say, but he can maintain his sanity and not endanger the world."

Her heart was beating wildly.

Yes, practicing Yin-Yang refining can remove the evil spirits in the body, so that the evil spirits can never completely infect oneself. If so, then can she practice the Golden Cicada Escape Heavenly Fairy Picture?
Before leaving, Yan Xianzhi asked Taihua Qinggong to hand over the Golden Cicada Escapes Heavenly Fairy Painting and the body of Jinghong Taoist Priest to the court for safekeeping, but Qinggong would naturally keep a copy!

If she practices this skill, even if she cannot achieve immortality, she can live for a long time.

Taoist Changying seemed to have sensed something. He glanced at her warily and was secretly on guard in his heart.

Patriarch Qiongyang was not a person who would keep quiet. She and Chen Yindu dug up the tomb of the Patriarch together. She and Chen Yindu were both the main culprits, and Qingyang was the accomplice who was coerced by them!

If Qiong Yang didn't have a broad perspective of the sect, he would have been abducted by Chen Yindu!

Patriarch Qiongyang is definitely a person who can do anything in order to seek the truth and immortality!

"If she can't resist the temptation, I'm afraid she will become the head of Jinghong in the future!" Taoist Changying said secretly.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Master Changying, I need to borrow Yu Lingzi for a few more days."

Chang Ying called Yu Lingzi over and said with a smile, "Chen Zhuangyuan, you can use it as long as you return it alive. Yu Lingzi, follow Chen Zhuangyuan and don't cause any trouble."

Yu Lingzi said, "Master, don't worry."

Chen Shi took out a small red box, handed it to Patriarch Qiongyang, and said with a smile: "If Grandma Qiongyang wants to go down to accompany my grandfather earlier, just throw away the things in this box. If you want to meet again in the world of the living, you might as well take this."

Patriarch Qiongyang took the red box, feeling puzzled, and opened it. Inside was a bright red fruit, only the size of a finger, which exuded a refreshing fragrance.

Chen Shi brought Yu Lingzi, the black pot and the wooden cart, opened the Heavenly Court Order, and walked into the Small Universe. Qingyang stayed in Taihua Qingyang Palace and did not leave with him.

When the gate to the Heavenly Palace disappeared, Taoist Changying turned around, his face solemn, and said: "Uncle Qiongyang, you can't practice the Golden Cicada Escape Heavenly Fairy Picture! Even if you practice Yin and Yang, it is hard to say that you will not turn evil..."

Before he finished speaking, Patriarch Qiongyang shook his head, his face showing some surprise, joy, and sadness. He interrupted him and said with a smile: "I don't need to practice the Golden Cicada Escape Heavenly Immortal Diagram anymore."

The joy in her heart comes from the increase in her own lifespan.

Just now she took the ginseng fruit in the red box, which increased her lifespan by more than 300 years. This lifespan is even longer than her own life!

She was now approaching 100 years old and had reached the end of her life. Although she still looked like a young girl, she had to count the days. But after taking a magical medicine, she found that her life span had suddenly increased by three times!

As for the faint sadness, it was because she had been thinking about going to the underworld before other women and reuniting with Chen Yindu. But because of this elixir, it was delayed for more than three hundred years!
The feeling of separation lingered in her heart, disturbing her mind.

Taoist Changying didn't understand what this meant. He had clearly felt the ambition and obsession of Patriarch Qiongyang just now, so how come these ambitions and obsessions suddenly disappeared?
Patriarch Qiongyang stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, and suddenly a trace of curiosity arose in his heart: "Where did Xiao Shi get this elixir? Wait, he said that I can meet Chen Yindu again in the world of the living, what does that mean?"

She flew up, and a thunderbolt fell from the sky. With a crackling sound, the Qiongyang Patriarch had already escaped with the lightning. A voice came from afar: "Changying, I will be out for a while, you guard the mountain gate!"

Taoist Changying asked hurriedly, "Uncle Master, where are you going?"

"I'm going to find Xiao Shi!"

……

Taoist Changying was dumbfounded, standing on the mountain at a loss, muttering: "Back then, Chen Yin stayed on the mountain for many years but failed to kidnap his uncle, but his grandson came and kidnapped him in just a few days! But fortunately, Patriarch Qingyang is still here..."

After a few days, the Qingyang disappeared from the Qingyang Palace.

Taoist Changying stood in front of the palace in a daze, and saw the crooked handwriting of the Qingyang Patriarch on the ground: "Taihua Qingyang Palace is not fun. I sit on the altar every day and pretend to be a god. I'm going to have fun! If you have anything, come to Qianyang Mountain to find me! Don't worry!"

Taoist Changying quietly wiped off the clumsy writing on the ground and said to the Taoist beside him: "From now on, when you tell others, just say that Patriarch Qingyang is in seclusion."

Small heavens.

Yu Lingzi was amazed, wandering in this strange void, and saw many Hongshantang talisman masters refining the sun, moon, and stars, rearranging the shape of the stars and galaxies, and the sky was full of stars, which was completely different from the original stars. The appearance of the stars was also greatly changed.

Although he was from the Heavenly Palace, he was put into solitary confinement not long after returning to the mountain because he broke the fingers of his fellow disciples. It was also his first time entering the Lesser Universe, so he was inevitably shocked.

However, when he saw the six ministries, he was shocked beyond words.

The Ministry of Rites among the six ministries possessed a huge treasury of martial arts techniques, which shocked him beyond words!
The six ministries have begun to operate in an orderly manner. The Ministry of Revenue has divided the Hongshan Halls in the fifty provinces of Xiniu and Xinzhou into different Qingli Si. For example, Xinxiang Province is the Xinxiang Qingli Si, which is responsible for people's livelihood, finance, gold and silver, warehousing and other affairs, and has a special talisman master to manage it.

The Ministry of War was composed of talisman masters from Hongshan Halls in various places, forming a team mainly equipped with talismans, talisman weapons and firearms.

The Ministry of Works mainly manufactures talisman weapons and firearms, and also builds halls for Hongshan Halls in various places.

In addition, there is a government office for selecting and assessing talents, which is temporarily under the Ministry of Rites.

Xiaozhutian is simply a small imperial court!

"Junior Master, you are indeed committing a rebellion!" Yu Lingzi said in his heart.

He made a prompt decision and applied to Chen Shi to join the Ministry of Rites. Chen Shi remembered his enthusiasm for snapping his fingers and asked tentatively, "Don't you think the Ministry of Justice is more suitable for you?"

Yu Lingzi shook his head like a rattle and said, "Although I have never taken the imperial examination, I know etiquette. I will go to the Ministry of Rites."

Chen Shi had no choice but to let him do what he wanted. He thought to himself, "Li Tianqing and Granny Sha from the Ministry of Rites are not easy to deal with. With the addition of a Taoist priest, if we encounter a war in the future, we should let the Ministry of Rites go to fight. Maybe it will be more effective than the Ministry of War."

Yu Lingzi went into the library of the Ministry of Rites and read various techniques without sleep or food, like an idiot. Li Tianqing also found him in the library and said, "Keep an eye on this little Taoist priest, don't let him starve to death. Also, there are not many outstanding instructors in our Hongshan Hall, and this little Taoist priest is one of them. Let him teach other talisman masters, don't treat him like a human being, but like an animal to use."

Li Tianqing said yes, and said, "I wonder how strong the cultivation of the Taoist disciple of Taihua Qing Palace is?"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "You can try. I don't know how his cultivation has progressed."

After he had given his instructions, he left the Lesser Universe, walked out of Chen Tang's Heavenly Court Order, and returned to Huangpo Village.

Today, the branches of Hongshan Hall have spread across fifty provinces, making it extremely convenient to travel between them using the Small Heavens.

"I just don't know where the limit of this small universe's ability is."

Chen Shi pondered, and Chen Tang's Heavenly Order behind him gradually dimmed and returned to normal. The voice of the Qiongyang Patriarch came from outside: "Xiao Shi, you just came back? I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Chen Shi was extremely surprised and hurried out, only to see that Master Qiongyang had already arrived in Huangpo Village and was talking to his mother and Chen Tang.

"Grandma Qiongyang, why are you here?" Chen Shi asked.

Qiong Yang left Chen Tang and Wu Qingyu behind, pulled his hand and ran out excitedly, saying with a smile: "There are outsiders here, let's find a secluded place to talk in detail!"

Wu Qingyu and Chen Tang watched them walk away. Wu Qingyu frowned slightly and said, "Atang, it seems that Patriarch Qiongyang really doesn't like you."

Chen Tang sighed and said, "The generations are close."

Wu Qingyu shook her head and said, "She looks at you like an enemy, just short of calling you the son of her love rival. But when she looks at Xiao Shi, she's just short of calling him my own grandson."

Chen Tang had a bitter face and said nothing. He thought to himself, "There are probably dozens of women like this."

Qiong Yang took Chen Shi to a secluded place and asked, "You said before that if you want to meet again in the world of the living, you should take the contents of the red box. What does this mean?"

Chen Shi said honestly: "My grandfather is dead, but not completely dead. He can still be saved."

Qiong Yang was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy, and said with a smile: "Back then I didn't dare to go with him because I had to take care of the sect, but now I can go with him! By the way, do other people know about this?"

Chen Shi shook his head.

Qiong Yang was overjoyed, walking back and forth, laughing, "They don't know, they thought that if they died, they could meet Chen Yindu, but they didn't know that I am the one who can spend the rest of his life with him! Hahaha, these little sluts, after all, couldn't beat me!"

She was very proud and said with a smile: "Xiao Shi, don't call me Grandma Qiongyang from now on. From now on, I will be your real grandma!"

Chen Tang heard the laughter coming from afar, his expression was dull, and he thought to himself: "It is true that the relationship between generations is close."

The next day, a new house appeared in Huangpo Village. It was more like a palace than a house, and it was extremely magnificent.

The villagers were no longer surprised. Ever since Chen Shi came back from Xijing, there had been many strange people in the village, including a father and daughter who were fishing, the talisman master from Hongshan Hall, the lovely daughter, as well as the ferocious Zhong Kui and Tie Chi, and occasionally a haunted stone house.

In the shadow of Huangpo Village, you can also see an extremely large black dog.

It is normal to have an extra palace now.

Wu Qingyu looked at the loess slope with some worry. Ever since Chen Shi came back from Taihua Mountain, he has been silent, as if he has something on his mind.

During these days, he spent most of his time sitting under the old willow tree, quietly thinking about his problems, forgetting to eat and sleep. Sometimes he even did not come back until midnight and spent the night under the willow tree.

Wu Qingyu said to Chen Tang, "Your son is worried, go ask him."

"Most likely he's in love. He's old enough."

Chen Tang said, "Boys at this age will all have spring fever."

Wu Qingyu smiled and said, "Husband, what about you? When you were Xiao Shi's age, which girl were you thinking about?"

"I never have."

Chen Tang said seriously, "At that time, I just wanted to study and practice, and I just wanted to compete with Chen Wu."

He was afraid that Wu Qingyu would ask him further, so he said, "I'll ask Xiao Shi which girl he's thinking about. Maybe we should prepare to propose marriage. Xiao Shi will be fourteen in a year, and it's early for people in the countryside to get married. If he likes her, we can go to her house and propose marriage. Let's arrange the marriage first, and it won't be too late to get married in two years. After the engagement, he will be more determined."

Wu Qingyu agreed.

Chen Tang came to the loess slope and said, "Your mother said you were worried. Are you thinking about the girl?"

Chen Shi blushed and shook his head, "Dad, what are you thinking about? I'm thinking about a difficult problem in cultivation."

Chen Tang said: "Tell me, maybe I can help you solve it."

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, then told the difficult question he had been pondering over for the past few days, and said, "I was wondering whether the auxiliary vomiting of yin and yang can interfere with the external world."

Chen Tang's expression did not change, and he said, "Tell me in detail."

Chen Shi cheered up and said, "These days, I have been thinking about a difficult question, which is why Taoist Jinghong turned evil? The Golden Cicada Shedding Shell Heavenly Immortal Diagram he practiced is a righteous method, and what he practiced was corpse transformation, shedding his original flesh body and transforming into an immortal. He was walking a new path, with divine fetuses, divine descent, and refining the void, so why did he turn evil?"

Chen Tang said: "He doesn't know the original star map."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be the key, because Dan Chengzi, who knows the original star map, has also changed evilly and is now hiding in my sea of ​​consciousness. It can be seen that the change to evil has nothing to do with the original star map. The original star map may just make your path of cultivation more correct and easier to merge with the Tao. So I think it may be this world that has changed evilly."

He looked up at the sky, staring at the sun and the moon in the sky. The two suns were dazzling, while the moon was a faint white.

"This world may be in the midst of an evil change."

Chen Shi said, "So no matter whether it is the new law or the old law of the True King, as long as it conforms to the Tao, it will become evil. This is my guess."

Chen Tang remained calm and said, "Go on."

Chen Shi was a little excited. He stood up and walked around, saying, "They should all be problems that occurred when they merged with the heaven and earth. The old method was earlier. They began to change evilly at the peak of the fusion state or even the transformation state! So I was thinking, instead of merging with the heaven and earth, it is better to let the heaven and earth merge with me! If the outside heaven and earth change evilly, I will merge with the outside heaven and earth, and take the outside heaven and earth as the main principle, and I will be affected and change evilly. Then let me take the main principle, and let the outside heaven and earth merge with me?"

His eyes sparkled. He stopped and stared into Chen Tang's eyes. His voice was a little hurried: "Dad, if an outsider comes to conform to my way and takes me as the master, then can I influence the outside world?"

Chen Tang felt a little dizzy, but his expression remained the same as always, and he said expressionlessly: "Not bad. You said it very well."

Chen Shi shouted excitedly, clenched his fists tightly, and said with a smile: "I knew you would agree with me! Hei Guo also said that I was right!"

Chen Tang looked at Hei Guo, who was looking at him blankly, and it was obvious that he didn't understand either.

Chen Tang said: "We both say you are right, which shows that you are right. Please continue."

Chen Shi was extremely excited, pacing back and forth again, saying, "So I was wondering, can I use the Yin-Yang refining to comprehend the Yin-Yang auxiliary spitting? Because Yin alone cannot produce and Yang alone cannot grow. Only Yin and Yang alone cannot last long, only Yin and Yang can be combined to last long. Yin-Yang auxiliary spitting can form a situation in my dojo where Yin and Yang assist and strengthen each other... Dad, Dad? Where are you going?"

Chen Tang ignored him, walked down the loess slope, and said to Wu Qingyu: "Yes, he is thinking about women. Don't worry about him, he will be fine in a few days."
