On the Avenue.

Chapter 436 Like an Old Friend
Chen Shi has been practicing in the Niu family courtyard, with no distractions. This practice is a new attempt for him. His dojo has invaded the Yuanchen Palace in Xiandu and began to try to practice his own Three Corpse Gods.

Since ancient times, the Three Corpses Realm has been focused on beheading the Three Corpses, and the Three Corpse Gods were treated as unnecessary things to be beheaded.

After the monk killed the three corpse gods, he no longer had much desire for sex, food, and clothing. His own yin energy also became less and less, and he gradually turned into a pure yang body.

After transforming into a pure yang body, there are many benefits. First of all, there will be no more desires, and you will be more diligent in your practice. Your practice will naturally be more courageous and advanced, and you will improve faster.

Secondly, the soul is pure yang, so the thunder from heaven will not easily strike the body, and one will be less painful from being struck by lightning.

But even if the three corpses are killed, desires will still come back, so many dignitaries will still marry wives and concubines, still like fancy clothes, and still satisfy their appetites.

Confucianism says to examine oneself three times a day. Buddhism says to wipe the body diligently every morning to avoid dust. This is the truth.

Chen Shi thought that pure yang is the way, and pure yin is also the way. In the natural world, yin and yang are originally one, so why do you need pure yang to become an immortal?

If one is in accordance with the Tao, and only conforms to the Pure Yang Tao, then the practice will not be perfect.

Since the Three Corpse Gods are transformed from Yin Qi and are originally a part of himself, there is no need to kill them. Instead, he can refine them and turn them into a part of his own Yin and Yang, and the Three Corpse Gods will not be able to interfere with his practice.

They can even be a help in spiritual practice.

Xiandu, it’s time to file a complaint again.

Many three corpse gods flew out from their respective Yuanchen Palaces and headed towards the underworld to report their master.

In Chen Shi's Yuanchen Palace, the three corpse gods were furious and could not leave Chen Shi's Yin-Yang Taoist temple. Peng Zhui yelled, "Chen Shi, you don't spend your days drinking and partying, nor do you wear fine clothes and eat delicious food. Instead, you practice diligently. You are courting death! When you appear before the King of Hell, I will cross out your life and death book and kill you!"

Peng Ju said angrily, "If you didn't have fun yesterday and you don't have fun today, what use is there for you?"

Peng Qiao said, "Don't let us rush out, or I will definitely take you to the brothel to have fun and ruin your moral integrity."

"I will also give you delicious food every day!" Peng Tu shouted.

They were arguing, but Chen Shi's Taoist temple was constantly changing yin and yang, trying to transform the Three Corpse Gods from pure yin to pure yang.

Not long after, the weakest Peng Ju began to meditate and practice to help Chen Shi practice.

Peng Tu and Peng Qiao were horrified upon seeing this. They rushed to the gate of Yuanchen Palace and banged on it desperately, crying and screaming, trying to escape from this horrible place.

"I don't want to be a slave, let me out!" they shouted.

Not long after, Peng Qi suddenly seemed to have a great enlightenment. He also sat cross-legged, guiding the yin and yang energies and began to practice.

Peng Qiao was even more horrified and shouted, "Chen Shi, I will never be controlled by you and work for you!"

Chen Shi activated the Dao Field, transformed Yin and Yang, and tried to control Peng Qiao. However, his Peng Qiao was terribly strong, like a demon god standing tall, and he always resisted his attack steadily.

Finally, dawn came and the Three Corpse Gods returned to the Three Halls.

Chen Shi had no choice but to stop practicing, thinking: "My dojo is still not strong enough. I need to practice more and improve my cultivation before I can refine Peng Qiao."

He also knew that it would take a while for his cultivation to reach the point where he could refine Peng Qiao, so he woke up from his meditation.

His temple was still running, but he didn't see Little Linden Fairy. Chen Shi walked out of the yard and saw Little Linden Fairy teaching some human children to read on the street of Niu Village. The characters she taught were ancient characters, different from the characters Chen Shi had learned, which were bird seal characters and insect characters.

Chen Shi looked at these human children, slightly startled, then looked around, only to see that the cow ghosts had disappeared, replaced by human beings.

He dispersed the dojo, and Little Linden Fairy hurriedly said, "Husband, don't disperse the dojo!"

Chen Shi was stunned: "She calls me husband! Could she be Xiao Linden?"

He steadied himself in the dojo and kept looking around. For a moment he couldn't tell whether the fairy in front of him was Xiao Linden or Xiao Linden Fairy.

Fairy Little Linden remained calm, but a blush gradually appeared on her cheeks. She thought to herself, "If I call him my husband, he will find it hard to refuse. In order to spend more time with my tribe, I have no choice but to resort to this last resort."

However, she noticed that Chen Shi's eyes were still on her, and her face turned even redder, thinking: "Maybe I've been discovered!"

Chen Shi came to her side, as if he didn't realize her identity, and smiled and said, "Madam, are they those little bull-headed ghosts?"

Fairy Xiao Linden felt a little relieved and said, "They are also merchants. After the upheaval, the evil spirits between heaven and earth changed their forms and turned them into cow ghosts. Now they have been transformed from cow ghosts into human bodies by your temple. I am afraid that if you take back the temple, they will turn into cow ghosts again."

Chen Shi squatted down and looked at a child.

The texture on the surface of this child's skin is exactly the unique racial texture of the ghost clan.

"Da Shang originally had a real sun and moon, and it was peaceful and harmonious until pollution came."

Little Linden Fairy whispered, "They may have lived in the dark underworld for many years before they became the cattle ghost clan."

Chen Shi pondered, "That is to say, there were no true gods in the Shang Dynasty. Only after the drastic changes did true gods appear."

Fairy Xiao Linden said: "That's right. The True God from outer space definitely appeared after the great changes."

She looked up at the sky. The bright moon in the sky was so huge that the face outside the sky was hidden behind the moon, but she always had a feeling that this face was somewhat familiar.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Madam, you call me husband, does your sister know?"

Fairy Xiao Linden's face suddenly turned red. She raised her hand and the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword flew out. It landed on Chen Shi's neck with a swish. She stammered, "You, you try to say it again!"

Chen Shi said quickly, "No, no. Put down the knife first! I won't tell your sister about our secret."

The little lime fairy's face turned even redder, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Chen Shi carefully took the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword from her hand and returned it to the small temple. He heaved a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "It almost resulted in a death."

However, Little Linden Fairy soon recovered as before, and his admiration for her strong heart for Taoism was endless. They stayed in this small mountain village for several days, and Little Linden Fairy left reluctantly.

Chen Shi took back the Taoist temple, and the children, adults and old people in the mountain village gradually changed their appearance, from human form to human body with ox heads, and grew ox horns and ox tails.

They returned to their old ways and continued to live their lives as before.

Only the little devils were writing and drawing on the ground, struggling to recognize the words used by their ancestors.

"Don't look at them anymore. They will come back in the future." Chen Shi said to Little Linden Fairy.

Fairy Xiao Linden withdrew her gaze, met Chen Shi's gaze, and asked, "Are you sure you can turn them from ghosts into humans?"

Chen Shi's eyes fell on her, and saw a strong wind blowing. Her dress stuck to her body, showing off her curvy figure, and the wind gave it shape.

The little lime fairy snorted.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Of course. I am the true king of Xiniuzhou. There is nothing I can't do!"

The Little Linden Fairy turned into a wisp of breeze and flew into the small temple behind his head, saying, "I am going to enter a state of meditation."

She climbed up the shrine, and suddenly a thought popped up in her mind: "Does he like me more, or Xiao Linden? What if he likes my sister Xiao Linden more?"

She was so absorbed in her thoughts for a moment that she found it difficult to concentrate.

Chen Shi was very curious and thought, "Why hasn't Miss Xiao Linden come out yet?"

After a long time, Xiao Linden flew out of the small temple. In front of her, Chen Shi was no longer so serious. The two of them laughed and played with each other all the way.

But sometimes Chen Shi was still a little dazed, wondering if the little linden in front of him was the little linden fairy in disguise.

He couldn't guess it for a moment, he really couldn't guess it.

They returned along the same route and found the temple where Zhu Xiucai and Hei Guo were. They reunited and set out again to find the next temple.

Sometimes Chen Shi walked in front of the carriage while Xiao Linden sat in it; sometimes Xiao Linden would play with him in front of the carriage while Hei Guo sat in the carriage to look at the geographical map; and sometimes it was the fairy Xiao Linden who sat in the carriage and talked with Chen Shi about the shamanic Taoist patterns of the Shang Dynasty.

What puzzled Hei Guo was that in the past, Fairy Xiao Linden rarely came out on her own initiative, except when Chen Shi could no longer suppress Peng Qiao and was about to molest Xiao Linden. But now, Fairy Xiao Linden often appeared, and the time she appeared was almost the same as that of Xiao Linden.

"There must be a reason behind this." Hei Guo thought.

As the days passed, they found more and more temples, and the areas lit up on the map of mountains, rivers, and the country became larger and larger.

Every night, Chen Shi would practice as usual, using the Yin-Yang refining to refine the Three Corpses. His Peng Qiao was indeed terrifyingly powerful. It had been able to withstand his refining again and again for months.

But Peng Qiao also noticed that Chen Shi's cultivation was becoming more and more powerful, and the power of Yin and Yang Transformation was becoming stronger and stronger, which made him feel that he could not hold on any longer.

It's only a matter of time before he is refined!
"Northern Alliance Province! It seems that the Bodhi Dharma Field is in the Northern Alliance."

Chen Shi looked at the geographical map, compared it with the surrounding mountains and rivers, and said with a smile, "Saint Xuan is also in the Bodhi Temple. I wonder if she is safe."

He raised the Heavenly Order, walked into the Lesser Universe, and came to the wall painting to take a look. Several Red Mountain Hall masters were also in the Northern Alliance Province. They discovered several ancient temples that suddenly appeared, and left words on the wall painting to record their locations.

Chen Shi was greatly encouraged. It was indeed a wise move for him to order everyone in Hongshan Hall and Heavenly Palace to return to their hometowns.

The wooden cart drove towards the nearest ancient temple. When passing Tianyu County in the Northern League Province, a group of refugees were traveling with a ox cart, with some elderly, weak, women and children sitting on the cart.

Little Linden jumped off the car and gave them some food, for which they were very grateful.

After Xiao Lin got on the cart, Chen Shi was about to continue on his journey when he saw a sick beggar covered in sores lying on the cart. He was slightly startled and blurted out, "Yang Bi! You are Yang Bi! You are still alive!"

The beggar's body trembled, and he struggled to move his body, trying to turn sideways to avoid facing him head-on, but he was unable to move because of his severe injuries.

He seemed to be too terrified to recognize Chen Shi. His face was distorted, his eyes were tightly closed, and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

An old man said with a smile, "Sir, do you recognize him? We picked him up. He fell from the sky. He was almost dead and stupid. He cries and laughs every day. A scholar said that he might have lost his soul. Even if we tried to call his soul back, it didn't help."

A woman nearby laughed and said, "Most likely he's stupid."

Chen Shi's eyes fell on Yang Bi's face. After a moment, he slowly said, "I may have recognized the wrong person. This brother looks a bit like my old friend, but my old friend is a man of great talent and wisdom. I admire him very much. This brother just looks a bit like him."

His soul took a ginseng fruit from the small temple, threw it into Yang Bi's arms, and said: "Meeting is fate, brother, you might as well take this ginseng fruit, maybe it can save your life. Now is a chaotic world, take care of yourself."

Yang Bi's mouth twitched, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."

Chen Shi turned his eyes away from him and said, "I really want to see that old friend again and have another fight with him. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'll never see him again."

The wooden cart rolled along, staggered with the ox cart, and went farther and farther away.

Yang Bi held the ginseng fruit in his hand, in a daze, and thought of Chen Shi's words again.

All great power belongs to oneself.

"Ha ha!"

He laughed and cried out loud. The world above the world, the layout of more than 6,000 years, the ancestors, and the thirteen old ancestors, everything is gone!

Is personal strength really useful when facing the ancient immortals on the Hill of Despair?

"Chen Shi, you haven't experienced despair, but I have. The despair of Despair Hill is not their despair, but the despair of their enemies!"
