On the Avenue.

Chapter 406 Kill
There was silence all around, with only the sound of Hei Guo's footsteps running over.

At this time, a weak voice sounded: "There are no living people left, not even one..."

Chen Shi followed the sound and saw a wisteria that had been uprooted.

Under the wisteria, a ragged woman in purple clothes was sitting in the mud, covered with scars.

She is the godmother of this village. Her real body is a wisteria that has lived for thousands of years. Over time, she became psychic and transformed into a deity through the incense and became the godmother who protects this village.

But now, the wisteria's roots have broken, its branches and leaves have withered, and she will not live long.

Chen Shi came forward and saw traces of fighting all around. He thought that when the ghosts invaded, this godmother fought hard to protect the villagers, but ultimately failed to save the village.

Chen Shi dug up the soil, put her roots back in place, and covered them with soil.

The purple-clothed woman shook her head and said with a weak breath, "I can't survive. No need to save me. My roots are broken. Even if I can survive, I will gradually die without human sacrifices. The weather is getting colder and colder. I can't hold on for much longer in the dark."

Chen Shi squatted down, helped her up, and let her lean against the wisteria.

Chen Shi lit a stick of incense, stuck it at her feet, and said, "Daoyou, do you have any last wishes?"

The purple-clothed woman shook her head woodenly: "No more, my people are all dead. I was born because of my people's sacrifices, and I will eventually perish because of their passing."

Chen Shi bowed to her. Perhaps in good times, this godmother could become a deity in the surrounding area. But now, this place is deserted.

He stood up and walked out of the village.

"My incense stick may help her hold on a little longer." Chen Shi said to Xiao Linden beside him.

They walked out of the village, and Xiao Linden tugged at his clothes and pointed back.

Chen Shi looked back and saw the woman in purple stretching out her finger under the wisteria and extinguishing the incense stick in front of her.

Chen Shi was stunned and did not light another stick of incense for her.

th.

All of this godmother's people died, and she lost the courage to live.

Chen Shi and Xiao Linden boarded the wooden cart. In the distance, several ghosts looked over here furtively. Hei Guo chased them and the ghosts fled in panic. At this time, an angry shout came from a distance: "Dog! Dog! Whose dog is this?"

Hei Guo ran back and barked twice at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi got out of the car, motioned Xiao Liniao to stay in the car, and followed Hei Guo over.

A shepherd ghost was restraining the ghosts. When he saw him coming, he angrily said, "Who are you? How dare you let the dog do evil! Do you know whose territory this is? Do you know whose livestock these are?"

The shepherd ghost was very tall, about five or six feet tall, with several baskets hanging on his back. In the baskets were several little yakshas, ​​burning incense.

Chen Shi glanced at the ghosts around the shepherd ghost. They were the same as the man-eating ghosts in the village just now. It was obvious that this shepherd ghost was herding and eating people here.

"Excuse my ignorance, but I wonder whose animal this is?" he asked with a kind smile.

The shepherd ghost was relieved when he heard him talking nonsense, and said, "This is the livestock of Lord Fengyang! Your dog ate the livestock of Lord Fengyang, do you know your crime?"

"Admit your guilt! Admit your guilt!"

Chen Shi bowed and said, "My dog ​​has always been vicious and difficult to discipline. When he saw these animals, he thought they were wild, but he didn't expect them to be domesticated. I wonder where Feng Yangjun is? I'd like to go and apologize."

Upon hearing this, the shepherd ghost said, "You are a cultivator, right? No wonder you are so polite. Fengyang Jun is always hospitable to guests, and seeing that you are so knowledgeable and polite, he will definitely not blame you."

Chen Shi said: "When I was in the world of the living, I was the top scholar."

The shepherd ghost suddenly understood and said with a smile, "No wonder, no wonder. Fengyang Jun likes to associate with scholars. A few days ago, a scholar came to visit him. I heard that Fengyang Jun was also a big shot in the world of the living. He once passed the imperial examination and was very famous."

Chen Shi's eyes flickered. "What's the surname of this Fengyang Jun? Which year did he win the title of top scholar?"

Mu Gui said, "His surname is Xia. As for which year he won the imperial examination, I don't know. He was granted a fiefdom here more than 2,000 years ago. The vast expanse of land around here is all the territory of Lord Fengyang."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Could you please take me to see Lord Fengyang?"

"Why not? I lost my animal and I have to go back and give an account. It's a good opportunity for you to say a few good words for me."

The shepherd ghost led the remaining ghosts and monsters along a river. Chen Shi walked side by side with him, his feet not touching the ground, and when he landed, a breeze blew and lifted his body up.

The shepherd ghost is two big wheels, rolling around.

A wooden cart drove over, carrying Xiao Linden, who looked at the shepherd ghost curiously.

There were canoes floating on the river, and on each canoe were a horse-faced ghost messenger, each holding a heavenly lantern, capturing the souls of the dead.

When their lights shine on the ghosts, they will be picked up and fall onto the boat.

There were also canoes full of ghosts that suddenly sped away and disappeared without a trace.

This river has many tributaries, and the ghost messengers go deep into various places along the tributaries. Sometimes the ghost messengers will fly up in a canoe to other places to lead ghosts. Wherever the canoe passes, a small river will automatically appear under the canoe, carrying the canoe far away.

Many ghosts came from all directions, looking dazed. They should be the people who died in the sun-extinguishing incident. They were drawn to the bank of Dejiang River by a strange force and boarded the canoe of the ghost, or were captured by the light.

"Live!"

The ghost messengers on the river all looked at Chen Shi with strange expressions.

A ghost messenger said: "Recently, the Yin and Yang worlds have merged, and many living people have come to the underworld. It's nothing strange."

They continued to work.

Chen Shi retracted his gaze and asked, "Where do these ghost messengers take the ghosts to?"

"I heard that they were sent to the underworld."

Mu Gui said, "Those ghosts are like crops in the field. They always appear for no reason. After one crop is harvested, another crop will come. But I heard from Feng Yangjun that the Yin and Yang worlds will merge, and there will be fewer crops like this in the future. After harvesting this crop, there will be no next crop."

When he said this, a few more ghost shepherds came chasing many ghosts and joined them.

These ghosts are not 禪禪, but a kind of ghost called螽兽. They produce a lot of meat, which contains strong yang energy and tastes very good to the ghosts and gods living in the underworld.

"Si Mu, why are there so few locusts among you?" asked a ghost shepherd.

The shepherd ghost beside Chen Shi said helplessly, "He was eaten by this brother's dog. This brother's dog is really scary. His body is so small, but when he opens his mouth, his head is as big as a mountain. I will take him to see Fengyang Jun and ask him to apologize so that I can have an explanation."

Other shepherd ghosts said one after another: "Lord Fengyang treats scholars well. Brother, you will be fine if you go."

Chen Shi thanked him and asked, "Do you often let your sheep go to the village?"

One of the shepherd ghosts said, "When we graze, we just let these locusts go and let them eat whatever they want. Fengyang Jun also said that most of those who fall into the underworld will not live long. They will either starve to death or freeze to death. If they are eaten, they will be eaten." On the way, they came across some empty villages and towns. There were no living people in them. They must have been eaten.

However, Chen Shi also saw that there were still living people in some villages, and these villages worshipped Hongshan Goddess.

“This is Gongzhou!”

He suddenly realized that the Wangchuan River he had just seen should be the Minjiang River!

It’s just that after the merger of the Yin and Yang worlds, the geography changed drastically and he didn’t recognize it for a while.

They passed by a swamp. Chen Shi looked and saw that the swamp was full of endless soul-resurrection lotuses. There were also many ghosts walking in the swamp. If they were not careful, they would be set on fire by the ghost fire.

"This lotus field..." Chen Shi was stunned.

The ghost named Simu said, "This lotus field is also the property of Lord Fengyang. It produces the Soul-Restoring Lotus. This plant can strengthen the soul and prolong life. The soul will become stronger if taken for a long time. There are not many places in the underworld suitable for growing the Soul-Restoring Lotus. This swamp is a treasure land."

Chen Shi looked indifferent and said, "Using souls to plant the Soul-Resurrection Lotus, won't the underworld care?"

"The underworld and Lord Fengyang are one family. I once saw ghosts from the underworld calling Lord Fengyang my great uncle." A shepherd ghost laughed.

Above the lotus field, there was a huge ghost hiding in the clouds, sleeping soundly. He was awakened by their voices, turned over, poked his head out from the clouds, looked at them, and turned over and went back to sleep.

Simu chuckled quietly and said, "This lazy guy lost a lot of soul-returning lotuses a few years ago and was severely punished by Fengyang Jun. It is said that a huge black dog broke into the lotus field and scared him half to death. He watched helplessly as others stole the soul-returning lotuses. For this, Fengyang Jun whipped him more than a hundred times."

When he said this, he was suddenly stunned. He looked at Chen Shi, then at the black pot, and thought to himself, "This man also brought a black dog. But, it can't be such a coincidence, right?"

The ghost herders chased the locusts, bypassed the lotus field, and walked away.

At this moment, the ghost statue hidden in the clouds suddenly remembered something, screamed suddenly, opened his eyes, and leaned over to look at Chen Shi and Hei Guo who had already walked away.

"That kid, why does he look so much like the thief who stole our ancestors' Resurrection Lotus? However, the dog beside him doesn't look like him."

He lay back down and laughed, "That giant black dog is really scary, but it's just a puppy."

More ghost herders drove the locusts over and joined their team. When they asked about the situation, they all said with a smile, "Lord Fengyang is kind to scholars. You are the top scholar, so it will be fine if you go and apologize."

Chen Shi expressed his gratitude.

At this time, a mountain villa came into view. The palaces in the villa were well-organized and staggered. Even in the underworld, the graceful style of Jiangnan was fully displayed.

It is hard to imagine that in this apocalyptic world, there is still such a beautiful place.

Surrounding the villa are ghost villages of all sizes, inhabited by many ghosts and gods, served by little yakshas. Their bodies are often hundreds of feet tall, which is quite astonishing.

Chen Shi's eyes swept across these ghosts and gods. These ghosts and gods were extremely powerful, comparable to the masters in the Spirit Refining Realm and the Return to Void Realm.

They looked at Chen Shi, Xiao Linden and Hei Guo, and watched them arrive in front of the villa.

Si Mu went in to report, and Chen Shi looked at the plaque and saw the words "Feng Yang" written on it.

I think this is the origin of the title Fengyang Jun.

After a while, a familiar laugh was heard: "Chen Shi, Brother Chen! We said goodbye in a hurry in the upper world, and I didn't expect to see you again here!"

Chen Shi was slightly startled, and saw Xia Tianjie walking out of Fengyang Villa, accompanied by several cultivators, all of whom had good cultivation bases, and they should be masters of the Xia family. They were living people, and Chen Shi could not tell their cultivation bases for a moment.

Xia Tianjie was very enthusiastic when he saw Chen Shi, and said with a smile: "Last time in the upper realm, you taught me the gun method under the name of Li Tianqing, which benefited me a lot."

His injuries have healed, and his cultivation has improved compared to when he was in the upper realm. He said: "I observed your battle with Yang Bi and gained a lot. After recovering from my injuries this time, I feel that my cultivation strength has made another breakthrough."

Chen Shi also noticed his progress and looked at the Xia family masters around him, asking, "Who are they?"

"This is my fourth uncle, Xia Shichang."

Xia Tianjie only introduced one old man, and did not introduce the others. They should be the outer sect masters of the Xia family. Xia Shichang smiled and said, "Chen Zhuangyuan, it's no big deal for your dog to eat a few livestock. You don't need to come and apologize."

Chen Shi said seriously: "If you do something wrong, you must admit it."

Xia Tianjie clapped his hands and laughed, "Well said! I'll take you to see Patriarch Feng Yang! Maybe you don't know this, but Lord Feng Yang is the ancestor of my Xia family, and he has been running the underworld for more than two thousand years."

He extended his hand and walked side by side with Chen Shi.

Chen Shi asked, "Isn't it the Resurrection Lotus that Feng Yang Jun is running in the underworld?"

Xia Tianjie smiled and said, "You know that too?"

Chen Shi said, "The young master made his fortune by stealing the Resurrection Lotus and selling the Resurrection Pill. I ruined his business, so I know a thing or two."

Xia Tianjie laughed and said, "Lord Fengyang knew that the young master came to steal my family's Resurrection Lotus, but he deliberately indulged him and turned a blind eye. At that time, our Thirteenth Family was determined to support him as the next True King, but unfortunately he was unable to do so."

The two of them talked as they walked, and went deeper into Fengyang Villa.

Surprisingly, there are very few ghosts or gods in this villa. Most of the maids, servants and servants are living people.

Chen Shi glanced at the maids passing by and said, "Brother Xia, I saw the animals of Fengyang Jun's family eating people on the road, and they emptied many villages. Now that there is a disaster, the people have fallen into the underworld and it is difficult for them to survive. Since Fengyang Jun was once the predecessor of the Xia family, why didn't he restrain the ghosts? At this time, shouldn't he save the world and the people?"

Xia Tianjie was slightly startled, and unconsciously slowed down his pace, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you'd better not go to see Feng Yangjun. I'll take you out."

Behind him, Xia Shichang and other Xia family masters seemed to have sensed something and were silently practicing their skills. Some were even secretly preparing to use their magic weapons.

Chen Shi stopped and said, "Brother Xia, I had a great time in the upper realm, exchanging Taoism with you and competing with Yang Bi. For a time, I thought we might be friends."

Xia Tianjie smiled and said, "Isn't it?"

"No."

Chen Shi's tone was calm, but his words were full of decisive power. At this moment, a strong smell of incense came over, and a god walked over here, laughing and saying, "Is it the young scholar? Seeing is believing, I am Feng Yang Jun..."

Chen Shi's eyes were filled with murderous intent, lightning flashed under his feet, and with a crack, he flew out!

"Zhoutian Fire Realm!"

He grabbed with his right hand, and with a whoosh, thunder and fire formed a realm of land, whistling and spinning. At the same time, a black iron rod flew out from the small temple behind his head. The fire realm whizzed along his arm, surrounded the black iron rod in his hand and came to the top. Complex textures on the iron rod lit up one after another, as if thunder and fire were burning in the textures!
Chen Shi swung the stick and smashed it down, hitting Feng Yangjun right on the head!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, this stick shattered the divine power of Fengyang Jun that had been accumulated for more than two thousand years, smashed his crown and spine, shattered his immortal body, and shattered his magic power!

Behind him, Fengyang Villa was smashed into two parts by a huge black iron rod!
Chen Shi looked back, his face ferocious and unruly.

"You thirteen families treat human life as worthless! And I am just that worthless person!"
