Chapter 76 Someone in the Stomach

Chapter 76 Someone in the Stomach

Chen Shi didn't respond, but suddenly said, "The evil spirit is nearby, how dare you get close?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd around him dispersed.

"Go a little further."

The crowd around them retreated further away.

Chen Shi took out a stick of incense, lit it, and stuck it under the feet of the gray-clothed rat. He said, "You are from another place, right? I wonder which hilltop the treasure land is?"

The gray-clothed mouse sniffed the aroma, revealed an intoxicated look, and asked: "How do you know I'm not from Qianyang Mountain?"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I am most familiar with Qianyang Mountain. I have seen all kinds of evil spirits, but I have never seen you. Are you a rat who has cultivated into an evil spirit?"

The gray-clothed mouse said, "I am a disciple of Black Mountain Grandma, and I live in Black Mountain. I passed by your place today and came to visit. I heard that there was a demonic incident here, and Grandma said that if too many fellow Taoists died, then we should move here."

Chen Shi frowned slightly. Black Mountain is located on the other side of Dejiang, and is much smaller than Qianyang Mountain. The evil spirits of Black Mountain and Qianyang Mountain have always kept to themselves. This time, the gray-clothed rat ran to Qianyang Mountain to eat people, probably because it thought that many evil spirits died during the transformation, and took the opportunity to occupy the mountain.

"So he is a subordinate of Black Mountain Granny. I have also heard of Black Mountain Granny's reputation for a long time."

Chen Shi's expression relaxed and he said with a smile, "Please help me pass a message to Grandma Heishan, just say..."

The gray-clothed rat was listening. Chen Shi took a step forward to it and punched out. The gray-clothed rat had no time to dodge and had no time to fight back. It immediately raised its tail, and the tip of the tail reached Chen Shi's head!

A sound of thunder came into its ears, and before Chen Shi's fist landed on its body, its soul was shattered!

"Oh!"

Chen Shi's punch hit the rat's chin, and the gray-clothed rat's neck twisted into a knot. Its body spun and flew up, then fell several feet away. It twitched a few times and remained motionless.

However, before Chen Shi's fist hit it, it was killed by the thundering sound of the punch.

This kind of low-level evil spirit is most afraid of thunder. When it rains, they need to hide, otherwise they will be killed by the thunder.

Although Chen Shi experienced the pain of losing his grandfather, after he came to it, he practiced diligently day and night, and used the Seven Refinements of the Big Dipper to temper his bones, heart, blood, flesh, skin, qi, and spirit. His strength grew stronger and stronger, and the thunderous sounds from his fists and feet became louder and louder, shaking his soul and injuring his spirit.

Although the thundering sound produced by his fists and feet is not magic, it is better than magic.

"Just tell me, you want to establish yourself in Qianyang Mountain. Have you paid homage to the mountain leader?"

Chen Shi scolded, and suddenly he felt sleepy. He closed his eyes with a smile on his face, and actually fell asleep while standing.

Suddenly, he came to himself and felt horrified.

He made the first move, but was unexpectedly hit by the tip of the gray-clothed rat's tail. After just two casual touches on his head, he fell into a coma!

He had never encountered such a magical skill before!
"There's something strange about this evil spirit! It knows magic!"

Chen Shi strode forward and came to the side of the gray-clothed mouse. Suddenly, there was a bang sound from the corner of the gray-clothed mouse's clothes, and a paper talisman pasted under the clothes began to burn.

In the firelight, Chen Shi could see clearly that the talisman drawn on the paper was the invisible talisman.

Drawing the invisible symbol is extremely difficult and must be done on clam paper.

Making clam paper is also a hassle.

Clam is a mirage, and mirage is good at hiding. It can spit out illusory gases such as mirage to hide its true body.

A mirage that lives for a thousand years is just a clam.

Clam paper is made by collecting clam shells, grinding them into powder, mixing them with paper pulp, and drying them in the sun.

Then use cinnabar and black dog blood to grind ink, write the imperial edict on the top, write the Three Purities text on the bottom, and then the three words "Yu Cheng", "Yu Hu" and "Yu Qing" (the input method cannot type it out), which refers to the three immortals Han Zhongli, Lu Dongbin and Han Xiangzi, and then the hidden text of the Big Dipper, the hidden text of the three hexagrams, and the jade ring and jade beads.

There are not many talisman masters who know how to draw invisible talismans. Chen Shi and his grandfather sell talismans in the Qianyang Mountain area and have never encountered such a talisman master.

But it is a bit strange that this evil rat actually carries an invisibility talisman with it to harm people.

"Who is this Black Mountain Granny? Why can the rats under her command wear such a precious invisibility charm? Why do evil spirits also know magic?"

Chen Shi was very confused.

At this time, the man whose forearm was eaten woke up, held his hand, cried in pain, and then fainted again.

Chen Shi had him carried to the hospital immediately so that his life could be saved.

As for the gray rat, its body did not turn into blood after its death, but was still there, which made Chen Shi very curious.

After the silkworm is killed by him and Li Tianqing, it will turn into smelly blood, but the gray rat is obviously different from the silkworm.

"That's weird. Are there different kinds of evil spirits?"

Chen Shi took out a pen and paper and drew the appearance of the gray mouse, especially its tail, which he drew in great detail.

Next to the image of the gray-clothed rat, he wrote down the characteristics of this evil spirit and its weakness of being afraid of thunder.

"You can use the thunder talisman to kill him."

Chen Shi put down his pen, blew away the wet ink, put it in the book basket, then took out a knife, walked forward to cut off the tail of the gray mouse, and looked at it carefully.

The tip of the mouse's tail looked like it had been tempered, or perhaps it was natural. It was as crystal clear and soft as a ruby.

Chen Shiyong pressed his head a few times with the tip of the tail, then suddenly fell down and fell asleep with a strange smile on his face.

After a while, he woke up and looked at the tip of the mouse's tail in horror.

Black Pot on the side rolled his eyes. The little master was being stupid again, actually using himself as an experiment.

Chen Shi thought that he could not use himself for the experiment, so he massaged the dog's head with the tip of a mouse's tail. Hei Guo stuck out his tongue, his limbs were stiff, and he fell straight down and fell into a sound sleep.

"This thing is a treasure!"

Chen Shi was so surprised that he put away the tip of the rat's tail and thought to himself, "I can sell it to the insomniacs in the city. I'm sure someone will be willing to pay a high price for it! I wonder if there are any similar evil spirits in Black Mountain? I can get some more."

Hei Guo woke up and quickly moved away from him.

Chen Shi went back to the village to continue selling talismans. When it was evening and he was about to close his stall, someone suddenly came hurriedly and said, "Master Chen, Master Chen! We are also being haunted by evil spirits. Please come over quickly, Master Chen!"

Chen Shi asked, "What's going on? Don't be anxious, tell me slowly."

The visitor took a few deep breaths, and someone handed him some water. He drank two sips and said, "Cui'e from our village is pregnant. She has a big belly and will give birth soon. She was originally very happy, but her husband insisted on listening to her belly. As a result, he heard two people talking in Cui'e's belly."

Chen Shi was shocked. Someone was talking in the pregnant woman's belly?
"They were the voices of two adults. One was older, sounding to be in his 40s or 50s, and the other was younger, a woman, but also in her 20s or 30s." The visitor said, "How could there be such noises in a pregnant woman's stomach? It must be evil!"

Chen Shi immediately jumped onto the wooden cart, pulled the man onto it, and said, "Hold on tight. Hei Guo, you get on too!"

Hei Guo jumped onto the wooden cart, and Chen Shi activated the armor and horse symbols on the wheels. The wooden cart was originally swaying forward, but now the wheels were spinning very fast, and it whizzed out of the village as fast as a galloping horse.

"Which village are you from?" Chen Shi asked loudly.

The visitor hurriedly said, "From Luwei Town!"

Chen Shi held the compass in his hand to control the direction of the wooden cart. The cart roared and sped, heading straight for Luwei Town.

Luwei Town is far away from Huangpo Village, more than 70 miles away. It is also a village near Qianyang Mountain. It is built at the foot of a branch of Qianyang Mountain. From a distance, that branch looks like a deer's butt, and Luwei Town is on the deer's tail.

Chen Shi went out to sell talismans during the Moon Festival this time. He had no fixed place to go, so he came to a village near Luwei Town, which was only about twenty miles away. He arrived at the town before dark.

Ever since his grandfather went to the underworld, he has become more and more courageous. In the past, he would never dare to walk so far.

Chen Shi stopped the car and looked towards his godmother in Luwei Town.

The godmother in Luwei Town is an ancient bell tower. The first floor is a stone building with stone steps leading upstairs. The second floor is a pavilion with doors and windows on all sides. An old big bell is hung in the building. Some parts are copper-colored, and some parts have already appeared green rust.

The villagers worshipped the bell tower, and over time the bell tower became spiritual. It gathered extraordinary power and condensed into a divine appearance, transforming into a handsome little Taoist priest sitting under the bell.

The person Chen Shi was looking at was this little Taoist priest.

I saw the young Taoist priest sitting upright, with his palms, soles of feet and crown facing upwards and his five hearts pointing towards the sky.

He was extremely powerful, far more powerful than the godmother in the village, and the area covered by his power was more than a mile wide.

"With such a powerful godmother around, how could an evil spirit enter the town and possess a pregnant woman?" Chen Shi was puzzled.

They arrived at the pregnant woman's house, which was surrounded by people. They were looking into the yard, but no one dared to go in.

Chen Shi walked into Cui'e's house. He had sharp ears and eyes, and he could hear two voices whispering in the house from afar.

"What should I do, Master? I can't go back!" It was a woman's voice.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Master will think of another way!" It was a man's voice.

Chen Shi walked forward and saw a pregnant woman sitting on a recliner with a big belly. She looked very terrified. Her man was standing beside her, looking a little uneasy.

Chen Shi motioned them not to speak, and sat down in front of Cui'e. He heard a voice coming from his stomach, saying, "We have been out for two days, Master. If we don't go back, I'm worried that my body won't be able to hold on!"

"It's okay, it's okay. My body can survive seven days without food or water. I won't die. Let me think about how to get out... Damn it, my teacher didn't teach us this! If there's really no other way, the worst that can happen is that we kill this woman, break out of her belly, and return to our bodies!"

Chen Shi smiled and said to Cui'e's husband, "Five taels of silver."

Cui'e's man looked embarrassed.

Chen Shi said, "Go and collect money from the elders of the tribe, and tell them that if your wife is not cured, the other people in the town will also be haunted."

Cui'e's man went there quickly.

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief. Exorcising evil spirits was much faster than making money by selling talismans.

Cui'e heard the woman's voice again in her stomach: "Another liar has come."

"Just scare him away, don't disturb me."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Could it be that the two brothers' Nascent Souls have left their bodies and ended up being trapped in the belly of a pregnant woman?"

When he said this, Cui'e fell silent.

"How do you know that we are trapped because our Nascent Soul has left our bodies?" the man asked.

Chen Shi smiled slightly. He had heard similar things from his grandfather.

When a cultivator has cultivated his Nascent Soul, he can't help but want to leave his body to travel around the beautiful mountains and rivers, play around in the human world, and increase his understanding. However, it is also extremely dangerous to leave the body. Not only must you avoid wind and thunder, but you must also avoid pregnant women or pregnant livestock.

If the wind blows, the Nascent Soul will gradually dissipate, and if struck by lightning, the soul will be scattered.

It is even more dangerous for pregnant women or pregnant livestock.

For people and animals about to give birth, the belly is a natural place of reincarnation and the gate to the mysterious female. If the Nascent Soul gets close to it, it will be sucked in without even a chance to resist. When it opens its eyes, it will find that it has turned into a baby in its mother's womb or domestic animals such as cats, dogs, cows and sheep.

What's more terrifying is that the placenta in the mother's womb is like a congenital cushion for the baby, and it can't get up after sitting on it. Amniotic fluid is the natural Meng Po soup. After entering the mother's womb, the Yuanying can resist at first, but soaking in the amniotic fluid will gradually lose its memory and become a baby who knows nothing.

His grandfather once told him a story like this. It said that there was a virgin girl who heard the cry of an old lady in her belly. He went to ask and found out that the old lady had cultivated into a Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul left her body to look for a friend and mistakenly entered a family who was giving birth. It stopped to take a look, and when it woke up, it entered its mother's womb.

The virgin girl was no longer a virgin. She had an affair with the boy next door and got pregnant.

"Brother, do you know how to save us?" the man asked.

The woman was also extremely anxious and said, "If you can save our master and disciple, I will never forget your great kindness and will repay you with gratitude!"

"I'll sacrifice my life to repay you!" the man also said.

Chen Shi said: "Please be patient, I have a way to make you leave and return to your own bodies. As for whether you will repay me, that is another matter."

Cui'e's husband came back and brought five taels of silver collected by the villagers.

Chen Shi picked up the pen and wrote a line on the paper, signaling Cui'e's man to get ready.

Cui'e's husband was illiterate, so he hurriedly took it out. Someone in the village who could read said, "Master Fu asked us to go get a midwife to prepare for the birth. Oh, and tell the midwife not to talk."

After a while, the midwife came and asked Cui'e to go back to the house and lie down, away from the wind, and asked Cui'e's husband to boil water.

While grinding cinnabar, Chen Shi said to the master and disciple in Cui'e's belly: "I will draw two talismans, one for this woman's navel and one for her lower back, and then I will perform a ritual to open a path for you two to return to your physical bodies. If you see a bright light, rush out and don't delay. Otherwise, when the light is gone, you can never go back."

The man and the woman quickly said yes.

Chen Shi drew a talisman, one for keeping the baby safe and the other for inducing labor. The one for keeping the baby safe was pasted on the navel, and the one for inducing labor was pasted on Cui'e's lower back.

Cui'e was about to give birth, but she didn't dare make any sound. The midwife was busy running around, but she also didn't dare make any sound.

Chen Shi walked out of the room and waited for a moment. Suddenly, the midwife's surprised voice came from the room: "It's born! It's born! A boy and a girl, two fat babies!"

——After so many years since the completion of "The Legend of the Shepherd God", a new leader has been added. Thank you for the kindness of Qijie Hongyuan!
