Chapter 77 Black Mountain Grandma

Chapter 77 Black Mountain Grandma
Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the house, and asked, "Is the child crying?"

The midwife shook her head and said, "No."

Chen Shi's face was solemn, and he said, "Spank him, spank him harder, until he cries!"

The midwife picked up the two babies and spanked them one after another. After a while, both babies burst into tears.

Chen Shi finally felt relieved.

Two lives were saved.

"Congratulations! Your family has two promising students. You must send them to private schools in the future. At least they will become juren in the future." Chen Shi smiled at Cui'e's husband.

Cui'e's husband was puzzled, but as he was experiencing double happiness, he had no time to ask about it.

It was getting late and Chen Shi had no time to go back, so he just rested in Luwei Town and simply stayed in the bell tower.

It is not convenient to boil medicine at night when staying in a hotel or someone else's house. This bell tower has doors and windows on all four sides, so it is comfortable to live in. There is also a godmother who guards the town, so it is absolutely safe.

Chen Shi boiled some medicine for himself, then fed Hei Guo, cleaned up, took out the bedding from the wooden cart, and spread it on the ground.

The Moon Festival lasts for three days, and he must make more money during these three days.

It was still early to go to bed, and Hei Guo barked twice, seeming to be puzzled by his previous behavior.

Chen Shi was not sleepy either, and smiled, "Grandpa said that if a cultivator's Nascent Soul enters the mother's womb by mistake, the Nascent Soul cannot be driven away. If it is driven away, the baby will be dead. Because the Nascent Soul has entered the baby's body, the Nascent Soul is the baby's soul. He occupies the baby's soul, and when he leaves, the baby will lose its soul, and without a soul, it will naturally die. The baby is not at fault, and the cultivator's mistake cannot be made to be borne by the baby and the pregnant woman, so we must stabilize the cultivator and let the pregnant woman give birth to the baby as soon as possible."

Black Pot was puzzled and whimpered twice.

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "No. We have to lie to them. Monks are often very determined, and when they encounter such a situation, they will kill the pregnant woman to get away. So we have to lie to them to prevent him from killing the pregnant woman."

Hei Guo realized that this was the reason why Chen Shi told the two Yuanying realm masters to rush out when they saw the light.

However, it was still a little puzzled. If a monk encountered such a thing, could he get away with killing a pregnant woman?
"No."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Both mother and child will die. The cultivator's Nascent Soul has already entered the mother's body, which is equivalent to reincarnation. If you kill the mother, you will also die. The love between mother and child is greater than the law of Taoism. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot kill your mother."

He told the story in detail, describing the reasons and consequences of his actions: "I first used a fetal calming charm to calm the two restless fetuses, and then used a labor-inducing charm to make the pregnant woman give birth as soon as possible. If the child did not cry after birth, I would beat him until he cried."

He said slowly, "The first cry of a baby is like spring thunder, which can scatter the memories stored in the Nascent Soul, allowing the cultivator to forget the past and live peacefully as a baby. However, the bodies of these two cultivators will probably die as a result. However, as cultivators, they were destined to die the moment they entered the mother's womb, so they can't blame me."

Having said this, he was suddenly stunned.

Ever since his grandfather went to the underworld, he had unknowingly become a qualified talisman master.

This incident involved two great cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, whose entire life's cultivation and memories were taken away by a small talisman master at the Divine Embryo stage, and they were turned into babies!
This is exactly what my grandfather said, the cultivation of a true talisman master!
Chen Shi was very happy and whispered, "I can also become a talisman master like grandpa."

This incident of someone talking in the stomach is not considered evil, but the talisman master does not only solve the problem of evil, but can also solve various difficult and complicated problems like the ones today.

The young Taoist priest under the bell looked at him curiously. Chen Shi smiled at the young Taoist priest, and the young Taoist priest smiled back at him.

"Master, you are obviously the godmother of Luwei Town, so why are you a man?" Chen Shi asked.

The young Taoist said, "I am a physiognomist, and physiognomists do not distinguish between men and women."

Chen Shi was slightly startled. The young Taoist priest said, "I am made of the incense and offerings of the people of Luwei Town. I am the result of their thoughts and the extraordinary power that shaped me. I am formed by the thoughts of the people. I have no gender."

Chen Shi didn't believe it, so he stood up and walked up to him, trying to take out his little calf. The young Taoist priest slapped his hand away and said, "Don't be rude."

Chen Shi laughed and said, "How can you pee if you don't have any?"

The young Taoist said, "I am a divine being, I don't need that thing."

"I see."

Chen Shi asked again in confusion, "Then why did you grow up to look like a little Taoist priest?"

This question also confused the young Taoist priest.

He was born with the hopes of the people, and was born this way, but why did he grow up like this?

"Then Chen Shi, why did you grow up to be what you are now?"

The young Taoist priest changed the subject and asked, "Did you decide to grow into this appearance yourself, or did someone else decide that?"

Chen Shi was a little confused by his question, and quickly shook his head, sat down next to him, and said with a smile: "My face was given by my parents, I can't decide. Who gave you your face?"

The young Taoist priest was stunned and thought hard.

Chen Shi put his hand on his shoulder, linked his arms around his shoulders, and said with a smile: "So, little Taoist priest, I think you gods who protect villages and towns must have other secrets!"

"What secret?" The little Taoist priest was even more confused.

Chen Shi got up and walked around the big bell hanging in the bell tower, holding his chin and said, "I think we should start with your true form. Maybe your master was a little Taoist priest, and you were condensed by the incense of the people and condensed into his appearance... Are you really not growing a bull? Let me see!"

He tried to pull down the Taoist priest's pants, but was beaten up by the angry Taoist priest. His face was bruised and swollen, and he went to bed obediently.

The next day, he was visited by another evil spirit. This time, it wasn't a demon that ate people, but a demon that possessed him!

The place where the incident happened was Shinianzi Village. There was a butcher there. Although he looked ferocious, he was actually a very easy to talk to person. He made a living by slaughtering pigs.

For some reason, he was possessed by an evil spirit that day. He suddenly became angry while eating, tied up his wife and children's hands and feet, hung them from the beams, and prepared to bleed them like pigs.

The mothers cried and shouted, which alarmed other villagers, who rescued them. However, the butcher wanted to kill the rest of the villagers.

Chen Shi rushed over, put an exorcism talisman on the butcher, and drove the evil spirit away. Then he found a dead pig and burned it, and the evil spirit incident ended.

Because the treatment was relatively simple, Chen Shi only received two taels of silver. This evil spirit was relatively weak. After the butcher killed the pig, he did not put the dead pig into the room in time. When the dead pig was illuminated by the moon during the day, it turned into an evil spirit and possessed the butcher, wanting to kill his entire family for revenge.

"There is a moon during the day, and no matter if it is a human or an animal, after death, they cannot see the moonlight, and must be dealt with in a timely manner."

Chen Shi instructed the villagers, "Put the dead in a coffin or bury them as soon as possible."

He felt vaguely uneasy.

The evil spirits that appear now are only minor ones and not a big deal, but I’m afraid it won’t be long before powerful evil spirits appear!

Before Chen Shi had time to rest, someone else came over and said, "Master Chen Fu, there's an evil spirit in our village!"

Chen Shi followed the people and rushed over. It was another case of cannibalism. Someone was standing on the roadside and was eaten alive by gray rats. By the time he arrived, the person was already beyond saving.

Chen Shi was furious and beat the gray-clothed rat to death.

On this day, he received two more reports of encounters with evil spirits. The first one was about a little girl who was playing on the side of the road. A bullock cart passed by with four or five other children also playing on it, and they called her to get on.

She climbed onto the car, and the other kids were having a blast, but her parents saw her floating more than a foot above the ground, gesturing with the air.

The evil spirit wanted to drag her to be reincarnated, but Chen Shi caught up with her and rescued her.

Another kind of evil spirit is a gray rat eating a person.

"Who is Black Mountain Grandma?"

Chen Shi was furious. The evil spirits in Qianyang Mountain only accounted for half, while the rats in Heishan Grandma's house accounted for the other half. It was clear that they were not giving face to the mountain king.

"There is indeed a Montenegrin grandmother in the Montenegrin area."

At night, Chen Shi returned to the bell tower in Luwei Town to rest. Speaking of this matter, the young Taoist priest said to Chen Shi, "This Black Mountain Grandma is enshrined in the temple. The incense is very prosperous. She often appears in the sky and is very effective. Many people from nearby villages go to worship the grandma during festivals. Some pilgrims who worship me also often go to worship her. There are many big rats in her temple..."

"Wait a minute, are you saying that Black Mountain Grandma is not an evil spirit, but a deity enshrined in the temple?" Chen Shi was puzzled.

The young Taoist hesitated and said, "That should be the case. I don't really understand it either. You are a talisman master, don't you understand?"

Chen Shi shook his head, feeling very curious.

Does it mean that being a god in a temple and being worshipped by the world does not conflict with being a demon?
"The rats in the Black Mountain Grandma Temple are so powerful, this Black Mountain Grandma must be extremely amazing."

Chen Shi's eyes flickered as he said, "She wants to set up a Taoist temple in Qianyang Mountain and sent these rats to explore the way. Little Taoist, she came to seize your territory, your godson and daughter, and even allowed the rats to eat people. Don't you have any ideas?"

The young Taoist thought for a moment and said, "I'll go meet her tomorrow!"

After daybreak, Chen Shi continued to set up his stall to sell talismans, but this time he sold an additional type of thunder talisman.

This kind of talisman can kill some weaker evil spirits. It is cheap and reasonable. Wearing it on your body or hanging it behind your door can ensure peace for a month. If the thunder talisman suddenly burns or makes a thundering sound, it means that an evil spirit is approaching and will be killed by the thunder talisman.

At that time, you will need to buy new talismans.

The thunder talisman was fifty cents a piece and was selling so well that Hei Guo looked droopy and listless due to excessive blood loss.

The money earned from Lei Fu was not enough to buy spirit beast meat to subsidize Hei Guo, but it could save lives after all, so Chen Shi would sell it at a lower price.

At noon, Chen Shi saw the little Taoist priest again. He had a bruised face and a broken leg, and was sitting under the bell to rest.

"Black Mountain Grandma is very strong, much stronger than me."

The young Taoist priest said sadly and worriedly, "I can't beat her. She said she would come to take over Luwei Town soon and asked me to go out and do evil things."

Chen Shi was awed. This Black Mountain lady was really planning to come to Qianyang Mountain to grab territory!

He was busy until night, and only when the Moon Festival was over did he return to Huangpo Village.

The mountain road was rugged and the wooden cart had to travel more than seventy miles to return to the village. Chen Shi held the compass to determine the direction, while Hei Guo ran back and forth in front with a lantern in his mouth.

When they were walking deep into the mountains, suddenly, the black pot stopped. Chen Shi's heart moved slightly. He put down the compass and looked at the darkness ahead.

The moonlight was dim, and red eyes appeared on the mountain road ahead at some point. They were illuminated by the light of the black pot, but they did not go away.

"Are you Master Chen Shi Chen Fu?"

A sharp voice said, "I am here on the orders of Black Mountain Grandma to inform you. You and I have nothing to do with each other, but you killed my grandson, so I will kill you. My revenge begins now, so you better clean your neck and wait."

Chen Shi jumped down from the car and shouted, "Who is playing tricks?"

He snatched the lantern from the black pot's mouth and shone it forward, but saw gray-clothed men more than one meter tall standing on the road ahead. They all had rat heads and human bodies, and they stared at him.

Chen Shi was shocked: "There are so many evil spirits under the command of Black Mountain Grandma? Did I disturb the well?"

He was worried that if these gray-clad rats rushed over, he would be doomed.

The gray rat is not very strong, but it knows magic, especially massaging the head with the tip of the tail, which will immediately make the rat fall asleep, making it hard to guard against.

Chen Shi had tried it once, but he was not sure he could stop the tails of these gray-clothed rats. If he was pressed down, he would fall asleep, and these gray-clothed rats would rush over and gnaw him into a skeleton!
Just as he thought of this, the gray-clad rats suddenly leaped into the darkness and disappeared without a trace.

Chen Shi frowned.

These evil rats are elusive. If you attack by surprise...

"After I go back, I must go to the town to buy an iron hat to wear on my head! No, I still have to go to the True King's Tomb and get the complete Three Lights Righteousness Art, otherwise I can't beat Black Mountain Grandma!"

——Thanks to the leader Shanxiong Diting for the reward, the boss is generous!
