On the Avenue.

Chapter 448 Innocence
Chen Yindu led the crowd through a group of demons, disasters, and calamities. Although the demons made restless roars, with the high priest in charge, these people did not dare to act recklessly.

Not long after, they left the capital.

The moment they walked out of the Divine Capital, they looked back and could no longer see the Divine Capital.

That magnificent magic city seemed to disappear the moment they walked out.

But Chen Yin knew that the gods were hidden in the void. Their roots might be hidden between mustard seeds, or in a magic flower, or in the body of a ghost.

The capital of the gods is also the target of elimination on Despair Hill, so it needs to be hidden.

"Xiao Shi guessed that the owner of the ghost hand might be my parents."

Qingyang said with regret, "It's a pity that I didn't get to meet this person."

Chen Yindu said: "I have seen the owner of the ghost hand. He should not be your parents. We are not safe yet. The high priest has not made any move yet."

At this time, the sound of a long piano was heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw cranes wandering and flying around a pine tree not far away. There was a wafting aroma from below. A boy was offering incense and another boy was making tea.

There was also a white-haired old man sitting on the ground, gently stroking a jiaoqin.

He played slowly and the sounds were long.

This place is clearly the underworld filled with evil spirits and is extremely dangerous. Even ghosts and gods are unwilling to come to such a dangerous place. However, this old man, the boy, the cranes, and the ancient pines have an immortal air that is amazing.

Chen Yindu said, "Wait for me here."

Du Yiran, Sha Qiuting and others stopped and waited quietly.

Chen Yindu walked forward and saw that the old man was wearing a right-side-lapeled top with a belt around his waist. The top was embroidered with thunder patterns and there were simple dragon patterns on his shoulders. He wore a high crown with phoenix feathers and moon shells on the side. He wore a jade pendant around his waist and a pair of black wooden shoes with pointed toes.

His attire was refined and ancient in style.

Chen Yindu came to the old man and sat on the ground. Just then, the boy boiled water, made tea, and placed white jade cups in front of the two of them.

The tea falls into the cup, hits the wall of the cup, and makes a pleasant ding-dong sound.

Chen Yindu looked at the tea and said, "Isn't the title of Grand Priest an official position during the Great Zhou Dynasty? You are wearing the clothes of a merchant noble, which is quite inappropriate."

The old man put Jiao Qin aside and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Chen, what you said is wrong. The Great Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty and inherited the Shang system. Many official positions were retained. The chief priests in the Shang Dynasty were Zhu and Wu, also known as Ru in later generations. They were officials who offered sacrifices to heaven. The kings and nobles offered sacrifices to heaven and presided over the grand sacrifice. The last person to offer sacrifices was the chief priest."

Chen Yindu said, "I have examined prehistoric remains and have some knowledge of the Shang Dynasty. The person who presided over the imperial wine ceremony should be an elder in the royal family. Your Excellency is from the royal family."

The chief priest smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen is a smart person. If the True King had been as smart as you, he would not have died on the Slope of Despair. You should have seen the ghost tribe, right? Those ghost tribes are also descendants of merchants. There are many priests among the merchants, such as the official in charge of fire sacrifices is called Zhurong, the official in charge of water sacrifices is called Gonggong, Muzheng Jumang, Jinzheng Rushou, and so on. They have their own Dao patterns on their bodies, which are the Daos represented by the official positions they are in charge of."

Chen Yindu said: "I have indeed studied it, but I have never thought about it in detail. Now that I have received guidance from you, I can't help but be ecstatic."

Although he was ecstatic, his face did not show any joy at all. Instead, Cang Songzi, Tu Ying and Yan Shichong behind him were ecstatic and took on his joy, making him still perfect and impeccable without any flaws.

"Gonggong's water sacrifice, its avenue texture means water-based immortality, Jumang's wood sacrifice, its avenue texture means wood-based immortality."

The chief priest drank tea and said slowly, "Different divine powers control different patterns of the Dao. When exercising divine power, the patterns of the Dao will make merchants change into different forms. This is the origin of the word 'divine state'. After the upheaval, the people of Da Shang were invaded by evil spirits and lived in the underworld for many years. As a result, they gradually transformed into divine states and became inhuman."

Chen Yindu said: "The merchants used the evil method to escape the fate of genocide, but they also cannot return to the human race."

The chief priest sighed and said sadly: "This is why I did not assimilate with them. When they become ghosts, they are no longer merchants, but aliens. The real people of the Great Shang are preserved in the Divine Capital. Those ghosts are just the library that preserves our Great Shang civilization."

He was silent for a moment, and then said, "You just said that you wanted to use Cangcuo's Seven Killing Demon Sounds to gather the Dao Hearts of all the people in Chaos God City. Is that true or false?"

Chen Yindu said: "Whether you are evil or righteous, your shortcomings are huge. Even the chief priest has not been able to keep his heart of Tao stable and unshakable. If I use Cangcuo's Seven Killings Demonic Sound to confuse your hearts of Tao, and at the same time set up a formation to gather evil energy, in a short period of time, the Gods will be able to gather boundless evil energy. In a moment, except for you, everyone's heart of Tao will be devoured by evil. The Gods will be destroyed in the blink of an eye."

The chief priest said, "Show it to me."

Chen Yindu sat opposite him and did not move.

Tu Ying had already activated Cangcuo's Seven Killing Demonic Sounds. A vast realm spread out behind his head, and there seemed to be invisible strings all around him. As his fingertips plucked the strings, the music became louder and louder, and suddenly the devilish aura was filled, stirring up the deepest evil in people's hearts.

Tu Ying plucked the strings of his zither seven times in a row. The devilish sound became louder and louder each time, and the murderous aura even broke Bai He's neck and broke Jiao Qin's strings.

"The sound of the zither stirs the devil in the crane's heart to dance, and the trembling of the strings entices the soul and creates its own confusion."

The strands of white hair in front of the High Priest fluttered slowly, shaking seven times along with the sound of the Seven Killings, and he exclaimed, "Once the Seven Killings Demonic Sound came out, the God City was broken, just like the upper world. Therefore, God Emperor Chen is the one with great insight, and he saw the flaws of us long before you."

Chen Yindu asked, "Did Xiao Shi say the same thing?"

The chief priest nodded and said, "After Emperor Chen came to the underworld, his demonic nature was extremely strong. He actually practiced the way of the devil in the underworld, which attracted the covetousness of the devils, who tried to devour him. He actually saw through the flaws and devoured several devils instead, refining the devil seeds and making great progress in his cultivation."

Chen Yindu said indifferently: "Although Xiao Shi has refined the demon seed, he is overestimating him by wanting you old foxes to worship him as the Demon King. What is the plan of the High Priest? You might as well speak out."

The chief priest said, "The Emperor of God thought that since the evil transformation of heaven and earth could not be changed, he should just follow the will of heaven and transform himself into an evil one. From now on, the human race will become the demon race. All people will live as demons. He has a way to make heaven and earth completely evil."

Chen Yindu raised his eyebrows and said, "How could a child like him come up with a way to make the world change evilly?"

The chief priest said, "He has it." Chen Yindu asked, "Can you teach me?"

The high priest pushed a piece of paper over.

Chen Yindu looked down and saw that the handwriting on the paper was indeed Chen Shi's.

What Chen Shi wrote on the paper was a method of practicing martial arts with the help of evil energy. The content was absurd. It was a method of practicing martial arts with the help of evil energy to build the foundation and attain enlightenment through meditation!

But the more Chen Yin watched, the more frightened he became.

Because this technique really works!

According to the practice of this technique, ordinary people will have evil energy enter their bodies, and use the evil energy as righteous energy. They will first build an evil foundation, then practice evil techniques, cultivate evil golden elixirs, refine evil primordial infants, cultivate evil primordial spirits, and then the primordial spirits will be demonized to form a Taoist temple.

However, this technique came to an abrupt end when it came to the Spirit Refining Stage.

"The disabled?" Chen Yin frowned.

The chief priest said, "The reason why it is a fragment is because King Yama tricked the Queen Mother away, plotted against Emperor Chen, captured His Majesty, and imprisoned him in Xiandu. Then, you kidnapped His Majesty. Otherwise, what you saw today would not be a fragment."

Chen Yindu said calmly: "Relying on a magic technique is not enough to pollute the entire world and turn Xiniuzhou into an evil state."

The chief priest smiled and said, "The Emperor of God said that he has a method that can turn a true god into an evil one."

After these words were spoken, even though Chen Yin had thrown all his negative emotions to the Creator Xiaowu, he couldn't help but feel horrified at this moment.

Evilized True God? !
Is this really something Chen Shi could come up with?

He looks more like an evil spirit than the Creator Xiaowu!
The chief priest said, "He is trying to create a magic technique to communicate with the true God and obtain the true God's blessing. If the true God bestows a divine fetus, he will use his own magic technique to evilize the divine fetus, and when the divine fetus returns to the true God through the two realms of Divine Descent and Refining Void, he will evilize the true God."

Chen Yindu's eyes fell on the paper, and he read the magic technique on it again carefully, and asked, "Why didn't he teach you this technique?"

The chief priest smiled and said, "I have already said it just now. He was still perfecting this skill when he was kidnapped by you..."

Chen Yindu shook his head and said, "With the power of the King of Hell, can he kidnap my daughter-in-law right under your noses?"

The high priest was slightly startled.

Chen Yindu continued, "The King of Hell is indeed powerful, but he is not powerful enough to sweep across the capital. If Xiao Shi wanted to save his mother's soul, he only needed to tell you and lead the powerful men of the capital to rescue her, and she would be captured easily. Why did he go alone and fall into the trap?"

The high priest frowned.

Chen Yindu said, "He is such a smart man, he would not make such a low-level mistake. High Priest, my daughter-in-law Wu Qingyu fell into the hands of the King of Hell. Is there a possibility that she used this opportunity to escape and get rid of you? Xiao Shi went to rescue her alone. Does it mean that he never believed in you, so he conspired with his mother to take the opportunity to get rid of your surveillance?"

The high priest smiled and said, "This is just your guess."

Chen Yindu pushed the paper back and said calmly, "It's not speculation. If he really trusted you, he wouldn't have left you a fragment. It's not too difficult to fill in the missing four realms of the shrine, the fetus, the descent of the gods, and the refining of the void in this technique."

The high priest raised his eyebrows.

Chen Yindu said: "He found the method to transform the true god into evil, and he could have completed this skill a long time ago, but he just didn't trust you, so he chose the opportunity to escape with his mother."

The high priest laughed and said, "He is just like us. He is also a demon."

Chen Yindu shook his head and said, "Then you are wrong. When I rescued him that year, he sealed his memory immediately."

He stared at the High Priest and said, "You thought I sealed his memory. I know nothing about his past, so how could I seal him at the same time as I saved him?"

The high priest frowned deeply.

Chen Yindu drank the tea, put down the teacup, stood up and walked back. He took three steps back, bowed to the chief priest, and took a few more steps back before turning around and coming to Du Yiran, Sha Qiutong and others.

"Let's go while his mind is wavering," he whispered.

Everyone left in a hurry.

After a long while, Granny Sha broke the silence and said, "Old Chen, did Xiao Shi really seal his memory right away?"

Chen Yin didn't say anything, separating himself from the thoughts of the Creator Xiaowu.

After he separated from the Creator Xiaowu, the terrifying feeling of oppression on his body suddenly dissipated, and he became more human, which made everyone secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Qingyang smiled and said, "Xiao Shi is naturally self-sealing. He must not have the heart to destroy the true god and turn all living beings into evil."

Chen Yindu shook his head and said, "I was the one who sealed Xiao Shi's memory. When I rescued him, his first words were..."

He imitated the innocent tone of the young Chen Shi and said, "Grandpa, I have realized the method to destroy the true God. Let's destroy this world and create a new era."
