Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 160: The Fall of the Old God, the Rise of the New God, and the Merchant Ship
Chen Yushu certainly knew the importance of the Token of the Gods.

Just as Zuo Zongheng said, it only took a hundred years for Granny Jiang to transform from a water ghost in the river to the Granny Jiang she is today.

In fact, it has only been more than seventy years since it obtained the token of deification.

In such a short period of time, he has risen from the original middle to late stage of evil spirit level to the current peak of the early stage of evil spirit level, and is about to reach the middle stage of evil spirit level. The speed is really extremely fast.

But this thing is really useless to him.

As for Xiaohong?

As his faithful ghost, you must follow him around everywhere, and it is not appropriate for you to be a local god.

After all the calculations, Zuo Zongheng is the most suitable candidate.

After all, the two of them had an alternative friendship because of Xiaohong. At least the other party became the god's envoy guarding Jiang Huan, which was much better than a strange evil spirit taking over and becoming a deified god.

As for the last ghost weapon, the Yinfeng Fan, Chen Yushu couldn't use it himself, so he gave it directly to Xiaohong.

As for the other ghost soldiers, ghost generals and other spoils of war, they would naturally be left to Xiaohong to deal with.

She was happy with it, too.

He wandered around the battlefield happily, picking up soul beads and Yin Bone Jade one by one and putting them into his little bellyband.

Finally, Chen Yushu set his eyes on the hanged man.

At this time, the other party had recovered some strength and was standing in the same place, with a look of confusion and shock on his face.

Granny Jiang, is she really dead?

He died at the hands of this seemingly ordinary ghost walker in front of him.

This is really unbelievable for it.

It also made it feel endless awe for Chen Yushu deep in its heart.

But soon, it felt panic in its heart, not knowing where to go next and how the other party would deal with it.
"You go."

Chen Yushu walked to the hanged man and spoke in a flat tone.

Hearing this, the hanged ghost was startled, raised his head in astonishment, and then quickly lowered it, feeling grateful for having survived the catastrophe, and said: "Thank you, Immortal, I will leave now..."

As he spoke, he bowed respectfully and stepped back.

"and many more!"

But soon, Chen Yushu called it again.

The hanged ghost's body stiffened and he slowly turned his head. If he had a heart, he would have been beating his heart out long ago.

“Before you leave, clean up the battlefield.

Especially the corpse, take it away with you."

Then, Chen Yushu continued to give instructions.

The hanged man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for what the other party asked it to do, it of course agreed without hesitation.

Cleaning up the battlefield is certainly not a problem for it.

Perhaps the bloodstains were difficult to clean, but if it was just a corpse, it could naturally take it anywhere by using the method of possession...

Then, Chen Yushu returned to his own yard.

As for the neighbors who heard the noise and were peeping at him... Chen Yushu ignored them.

They were about to leave, so whether they would talk about it or spread rumors was not something he considered.

Some things, even if they are true, are hard for others to believe. When it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, the best way is not to explain.

Just like the last time, the temple keeper He Jiang came once, and there were many neighbors watching, but in the end, there was not much noise.

Especially since Granny Jiang had appeared in the dream before and did not report his full name, it made it easier to confuse people.

It is also difficult for the corresponding characters to compete with him.

……

“This battle was, I have to say, very thrilling.

Fortunately, the Zuo family's ancestor is here to serve as an altar to calm the spirits, otherwise the outcome would be unknown."

In the room, Chen Yushu was thinking silently and carefully sorting out the pros and cons of this battle.

“We won this time though.

However, we should avoid doing things like facing evil spirits directly.

After all, it's not always possible for me to have a ghost of the evil spirit level by my side that is willing to serve as a talisman for me.

Not to mention, although the method of opening the altar is powerful, it is not so easy to set up.

Need enough time.

But if I encounter an evil spirit in the wild, how can I have so much time to prepare? "

Chen Yushu is very clear about the pros and cons of the method of opening the altar.

The advantage is very obvious, that is, it can greatly enhance one's combat effectiveness. The first level evil spirit can be easily destroyed. Even when facing evil spirits, one is not without the ability to fight.

If there is a demon-level spirit like this time, the combat effectiveness will naturally be greatly improved, and it can face stronger evil spirits.

But the shortcomings are also very obvious.

Once you suddenly encounter an enemy, you will inevitably be in a hurry and it will be difficult to set up the altar in time.

Until then, we can only deal with it based on our own strength.

Even this time, the preparations were not as sufficient as in Beijiao Village. The three bloods and three animals did not have time to prepare. Otherwise, Zhen Ling's strength would be stronger, and the battle would naturally be resolved faster.

"As for the harvest."

Chen Yushu flipped his hand, and an oval black bead appeared in his hand.

Evil-level soul bead!

This is a treasure of a higher level than the evil spirit's essence.

The essence of evil spirits can help cultivators absorb it and increase their strength.

Of course, the consequences are also very obvious. Once you can't bear it, you will be polluted by resentment, and your temperament will change drastically, and you may even lose your original heart and turn into a demon who only knows how to kill.

The same is true for the evil-level soul beads, and the resentment is deeper and heavier. After being contaminated, it will naturally be more serious.

Even if it is just placed there, its scent can infect people's hearts and cause the evil thoughts to grow and magnify, leading them to do things that are abhorrent to both humans and gods.

Of course, in addition to this, it is also a top-level material for some refining equipment and elixirs.

But there are not many people who can use and handle it well.

“But it doesn’t have much impact on me.”

Chen Yushu was not worried about this.

He had reached a state of constant concentration, and such emotional influences could not shake him at all.

He can naturally absorb it directly without being affected in the slightest.

"It just so happens that my previous evil spirit essence has been used up, and this evil spirit level soul bead just happens to make up for it."

As for the use of refining weapons and elixirs?

He doesn't know how to refine weapons, let alone make pills, so of course he doesn't consider it.

……

Longjiang is a big river that runs almost through the entire Wu State, stretching for thousands of miles. By crossing the river, one can reach most of the Chengzhen counties in Wu State.

On a tall merchant ship, a tall eagle stood quietly on the bow, gazing into the distance. A fairly prosperous town gradually shrank and became looming.

This figure was naturally Chen Yushu.

After packing up his things and returning the lease, Chen Yushu went straight to the Jianghuan Town Pier and boarded a merchant ship bound for Qinghe County.

It is worth mentioning that.

Because the pier was close to Grandma Jiang Temple, he noticed that Grandma Jiang Temple was extremely lively at this time.

There was no need to ask specifically, some of the conversations had already reached his ears.

The statue of Grandma Jiang in Grandma Jiang's temple was broken. Combined with the "deicide" theory that many people heard in their dreams last night, almost everyone guessed that Grandma Jiang was dead.

Killed by a female cultivator named Chen Yun.

Of course, most people in Beijiao Village were not too panicked, because in the second half of the night, another voice of entering a dream was heard.

'The new god is coming soon.'

Some of the people in charge, village chiefs, gentry, and wealthy businessmen knew the name of the new deity and had begun organizing the dismantling of Grandma Jiang's temple and the reconstruction of a new one.

Of course, all of this was the work of Zuo Zongheng.

After refining the Token of the Gods, it can use it to activate the dream-entering technique.

In order to achieve deification as quickly as possible and gain official recognition, it must of course make some preparations and use some means.

According to what Chen Yushu learned from the other party, if there are no accidents, it will only take about ten days for it to officially move into the new temple.

As for the canonization of gods, it will be faster. It is estimated that it will take five or six days to get the seal of the government.

After all, the Zuo family was a prominent family in Jianghuan Town a few years ago, with complicated relationships. With its guidance after entering the dream, it would not be difficult to achieve this.

The only thing that can be considered difficult is perhaps gaining the recognition of the higher-level gods.

But communication of the same kind is actually simpler.

As long as the benefits are enough, everything will go smoothly.

Most of the cargoes on merchant ships are goods, but of course there are also businessmen who travel between the two places all year round, or ordinary people who go out to find work.

On the contrary, there are relatively few people who have practiced martial arts.

Apart from the crew members, a few of whom clearly had martial arts skills, there were only a few others.

One of them made Chen Yushu take a second look.

The other person was obviously a scholar, and he was accompanied by several young scholars. They were all standing on the deck, talking loudly.

Perhaps it was his attention that caught their attention, one of them suddenly exclaimed in surprise, walked over and said, "This brother, you look familiar.

Oh, now I remember, are you the one who often hangs out in the Wenchang Library?"

“He is also a student of our academy?
I haven't seen it much, have I?"

Then, another person also spoke up and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"You should all be students of Ningjing Academy, right?
I am not a student of the academy, but I love reading, so I often go there to spend some time and read books. "

Chen Yushu bowed and replied with a smile.

"Brother, are you the studious person who is highly respected by the teacher and the dean?
I heard from our teacher that you are very knowledgeable. I went to Wenchang Pavilion to look for you for a while, but for some reason, you never showed up again. I didn't expect to meet you here."

At this time, the scholar who had been silent and also had martial arts skills could not help but brighten his eyes and looked at him curiously.

In fact, it was because the teacher’s repeated reminders aroused the students’ competitive spirit and made them want to decide the outcome.

It just so happened that Chen Yushu's reading experience was exhausted and he no longer went to the academy to read. I felt a little regretful for missing him, and my impression of him deepened.

"I don't claim to be knowledgeable. I just happened to answer a few questions that suited your teacher's wishes."

Chen Yushu waved his hand and said.

"By the way, I don't know what your name is, my name is Hong Qiuquan, this is Liu Qing, Zhao Kunpeng, and this one is Li Qingzhi.

This time, a few of us are going to take part in the scholar examination in Qinghe County.

I wonder what you are doing in Qinghe County this time, brother?"

At this moment, the young scholar in the lead hurriedly asked.

"I am Chen Yushu.

This trip does not go to Qinghe County, but to the direction of Tianling County to the south of Qinghe County."

Chen Yushu explained smoothly.

"Tianling County? Huangshan Tianling County?"

Li Qingzhi suddenly uttered a sound of surprise, "Could it be that he is going to attend the Huangshan Patriarch's..."

"Ok?"

Chen Yushu's eyes moved, and then he couldn't help but use the Qi-gazing technique.

Before, he only judged from the other party's body shape and aura that the other party was a martial artist, but now it seems that the other party is obviously not just a martial artist.

A stick of incense is the way to go.

Suddenly, Chen Yushu understood.

People in the doorway.

No wonder he knew about the inheritance that the Huangshan ancestor placed in the Huangshan Inheritance Cliff.

Although his cultivation level was a little low, considering his age, it was normal to achieve the level of cultivation within the time limit of one stick of incense.

It is abnormal for someone like him and Liu Qiaoer to reach the level of three incense sticks and enter the realm of Taoism at such a young age.

But not everyone can elevate his or her state of meditation to the level of great meditation, or even constant meditation.

This person is just Xiao Ding at best.

But even if it's just a small deposit, it's actually very good.

Whether you are studying literature or martial arts, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

No wonder, the other party is not only a student of Ningjing Academy, but also a boy scholar who is about to take the scholar examination, and there are obvious signs of martial arts training on his body.

In a small place like Jianghuan Town, he can truly be considered a man of both civil and military talents.

"Brother Chen is indeed an expert in this field."

Seeing the strange look on Chen Yushu's face, Li Qingzhi immediately smiled, as if he had become much closer to him. He even said, "Brother Chen, are you planning to join in the fun because you heard about the inheritance of the Huangshan Patriarch?"

“Then it just so happens that we can go together.

The time for the scholar examination is in April, which means there are still more than two months left, so it is completely in time.

We just happened to go there to collect some wind and relax our mood. "

“Collecting the wind?
Huangshan is not a safe place to live.”

Chen Yushu raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, then looked at the other three people and said, "Who do you think are the people in the sect? Who are they dealing with?
ghost!
If you are not afraid of ghosts, you can go to Mount Huangshan.

But whether I can come back or not, only God knows."

Chen Yushu is not a teacher-teacher, but these people are all students of Ningjing Academy after all, and he has some interactions with them. Considering the old man in the academy who was very kind to him, he gave this reminder out of kindness.

As for whether they listen to advice or not, Chen Yushu doesn't care.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Qiuquan's expression suddenly changed.

ghost!
Who among ordinary people is not afraid of ghosts?

They had only heard that there was something exciting going on, so they thought of going to take a look.

Now, after hearing this, he was immediately shocked and wanted to back out.

"Brother Chen, aren't you planning to go too?"

Li Qingzhi said somewhat unconvinced.

"Me? I'm different from you."

Chen Yushu smiled, but did not explain too much. He just said calmly: "Go if you want to. Who can stop you?"

After saying that, he went down the cabin and entered the room below.

He has a lot of money now, so naturally he won't be stingy with his treatment.

Fortunately, Jianghuan Town is not far from Qinghe County. Near noon, the merchant ship arrived in Qinghe County smoothly.

However, Chen Yushu only stayed at the port and took a quick look at Qinghe County, which was obviously more prosperous than Jianghuan Town, and then quickly boarded another larger merchant ship.

This time, we are heading to Tianling County.

This trip goes directly to Tianling County by water, but after arriving in Tianling County, it takes another two days of land travel to reach Huangshan, so time is still quite tight.
