Chapter 84 I am an ordinary person

Chapter 84 I am an ordinary person
"This beam is such a treasure!"

Chen Shi placed his toes under the vermilion beam, raised his leg and exerted force, causing one end of the beam to fly up.

He gently stroked the temple beam, which was extremely smooth, and the gilded dragon on it was lifelike, as if the transformation into a real dragon just now was just a dream.

But it really happened.

The reason why Chen Shi carried this scarlet pillar to cut down the mountain and destroy the temple was because it had absorbed the incense from the Mountain God Temple for countless years and could suppress the magic power of the Black Mountain Grandma.

At the last moment, he poured his true energy into it, with the aim of stimulating the extraordinary power in this beam.

But I didn't expect the effect to be so good. The extraordinary power actually manifested a golden dragon, which tore the Black Mountain Grandma into pieces, shattered her into powder, and even destroyed the temple!

"Good baby..."

Chen Shi couldn't let it go and wanted to keep the treasure for himself, but when he remembered the promise he made when burning incense in front of the mountain tiger's shrine, he had to give up.

"After we return, we will ask the craftsmen to go to the Shanjun Temple, repair the front hall, and put this beam back! If you borrow it, you must return it. It won't be difficult to borrow it again. Who knows, there will be a time in the future when I will need to borrow this treasure again. As long as I borrow it a few more times, won't it be like mine?"

When he thought of this, he felt relaxed both physically and mentally. He stood on the ruins of the Black Mountain Grandma Temple and looked down.

I saw that the area below the mountain was already in chaos, people were running around in panic, and some monks from nearby were rushing over here, probably having noticed the battle taking place here.

I just don’t know whether they are here to support the Heishan Grandma Temple or to support Chen Shi.

Hei Guo was guarding at the foot of the mountain, running around in the fields and on the roads, biting the escaping mice to death.

There are numerous rats on the Black Mountain, and the rats have countless disciples. Now that the Black Mountain grandmother has died, the monkeys will scatter like monkeys.

Most of the demon cultivators on the Black Mountain died at the hands of Chen Shi, and the rest were mostly killed by the Black Pot's mouth, which bit a lot of rats to death. The small ones weighed ten pounds, and the big ones weighed over a hundred pounds.

"Black Pot is not as agile as a normal dog."

Chen Shi looked around, becoming more and more suspicious.

Although this guy was doing the job of a dog catching a rat, he was really ferocious. If a country dog ​​encountered such a big rat, it would not even have the courage to fight it and would only be bitten to death. What's more, some of these rats absorbed the moonlight, gained spiritual wisdom, could speak, practice, and even cast spells, but they were still bitten to death by the black pot!

"Grandpa said he picked up the black pot, but he didn't say where he picked it up from."

Chen Shi thought to himself, "It's a pity that Grandpa has gone to the underworld now. Now no one knows the origin of the dog... It is becoming less and less likely to hide itself."

He carried the red beam and walked down the mountain. As he was going down the mountain, his feet suddenly slipped and he hurried to steady himself.

I saw that the stone steps on the mountain road were all covered with blood plasma. I had to tighten my leg muscles when walking, otherwise I might fall.

Chen Shi went down the mountain carefully. There were dead rats lying all over the mountain road. Every time he passed a rat, he would move his left hand sword slightly, and a slender sword energy would fly out from the shrine behind his head and pierce into the head of the rat corpse.

Then another sword energy flew out and cut off the tip of the rat's tail.

The Ziwu Zhanxie Sword did not have such delicate sword control methods, but Chen Shi was mentally strong and it was natural for him to perform delicate sword moves.

Although the Ziwu Evil-Slaying Sword does not exist, it does not mean that it cannot exist.

This sword technique consists of only six most basic sword moves, with a lot of blank space, just like an ink-and-wash landscape, with large sections of blank space, allowing people to appreciate the artistic conception.

Many people who practice the Ziwu Zhanxie Sword only learn it, but they have never thought about the blank space and artistic conception in the sword technique.

Chen Shi walked and made up for lost time along the way. When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he saw monks of both old and young, male and female. Most of them were students from private schools. They had delicate looks and childish expressions, and they were also walking up the mountain.

When the two sides met, the monks hurriedly stood beside the mountain path, leaning sideways. The leading private school teacher offered sacrifices to the shrine and prepared spells, but did not act rashly.

Neither side said a word. Chen Shi nodded slightly and passed by them carrying a beam weighing over a thousand pounds.

After he passed by, the private school teacher led the others and hurried up the mountain.

Chen Shi continued to bite the rats with his sword and harvested their tails. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the foot of the mountain. Hei Guo had already killed all the rats he could find and dragged them together in rows, covering an area of ​​two to three acres.

Chen Shi put down the red beam, walked forward and cut off the tip of the rat's tail, then went up the mountain with Hei Guo and collected the tips of the rat's tail that had just been cut off one by one.

The best tail tips are those of the five white-bearded elders. They are truly like beautiful jade, soft and hard at the same time, and are the best of the best.

The private school teacher led a group of students and monks to search around the mountain, as if they were looking for someone. He passed by them several times, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Chen Shi and Hei Guo collected the rat tails and walked down the mountain, feeling somewhat happy: "This trip was not in vain! These rat tails can be sold for a lot of money!"

Chen Shi carried the red beam and walked towards Dejiang with his tired body.

Now that it was getting dark, they had to cross the bridge before dark, otherwise some terrible evil spirits would come out of the De River and drag people into the river to eat them. Some people said that the evil spirits in the river were water monkeys, some said that they were the resentment of drowned people, and some said that they were female ghosts in white who specialized in kidnapping scholars and draining their yang energy.

Boys in particular are often the most popular with female ghosts.

If he were on the ground, Chen Shi would not be afraid of the evil spirits in the water, but once he was in the water, he could not use his bravery and strength, and he was afraid that he would not be a match for the water monkey or the female ghost.

"Your Mightiness!"

There was a flurry of footsteps coming from behind. Chen Shi stopped and looked back. He saw the private school teacher leading everyone rushing down the mountain again. Their feet were too slippery and they fell several times, their bodies covered in blood.

However, they kept walking, picking up the dirt on their clothes to prevent it from getting on their bodies, and still ran towards this side.

The private school teacher ran to a place ten feet in front of Chen Shi, stopped immediately, saluted with both hands, bowed and said, "Sir, did you get rid of the evil spirit of Black Mountain Granny?"

He looked excited, and although he was surprised at Chen Shi's young age, he still followed etiquette.

Chen Shi nodded: "I beat him to death."

"My benefactor, please accept our greetings!"

The private school teacher knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed solemnly, and behind him, the monks and students also knelt down and kowtowed.

Chen Shi was horrified, and hurriedly put down the red beam, supported everyone with both hands, and said, "Everyone, please get up quickly! What are you doing? I am just a child, how can I accept your kneeling? It's embarrassing for me!"

"My benefactor, there are 18 villages and one town in our Black Mountain area, with a population of 4,600. We have been enslaved and ravaged by this Black Mountain woman, and we are suffering terribly!"

An elderly monk choked up and cried, "In the early years, we also tried to kill the evil spirit. We went to Black Mountain to kill this evil spirit, but she killed countless people. We also asked people to come to deal with her, but she also killed them! This evil spirit is proficient in evil magic, and her head is like a black hole, swallowing everything. Those who don't obey her, those who don't follow her will, will be eaten by her, or beaten half to death and fed to rats! We suffered a lot from it, and we couldn't resist. The government didn't ask. Fortunately, we were benefactors and killed this beast!"

At this point, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and cursed Grandma Heishan for her evil deeds.

It seems that Black Mountain Grandma has done something that angers the heavens and the people, and is unpopular. The private school teacher said: "Sir, please leave your name. We will definitely publicize your righteousness, build a shrine for you, and offer sacrifices to you day and night!"

Chen Shi's expression changed slightly.

At this time, many people also heard the news and ran over, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "Please leave your name, so that we can thank you day and night for your righteousness!"

Chen Shi's face changed drastically. He knelt down without saying anything, kowtowed several times, and said, "Don't bow to me. I can't bear it. I came to kill Black Mountain Granny not for justice, but because I said something wrong and caused a friend to die, so I came to kill Black Mountain Granny to avenge him and comfort his spirit in heaven! What I did was not for you, and it has nothing to do with you! If you kowtow a few times, I will return a few heads to you!"

He kowtowed loudly.

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other and dared not kowtow again.

Chen Shi stood up, wiped the dirt off his forehead, and said, "It's getting late, everyone please go back, to avoid being attacked by evil spirits. I have to go home too, I have something important to do tomorrow morning! Goodbye!"

The private school teacher hurriedly asked, "Mr. Benefactor, you have done us a great favor, why don't you accept our incense?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "My grandfather told me not to be bound by morality. If I do good things and others say I am a good person and come to thank me, I will gladly accept it. Then from now on, everyone will require me to follow the moral standards of a good person, so that I cannot compete with others for profit, so that I cannot strive for my own interests, and even so that I cannot refuse even if I put myself in danger. I am a layman, and I do good things unintentionally. I cannot be hypocritical, so when I encounter such things, I must make it clear."

My grandfather also said that we should put aside our moral qualities, enjoy an immoral life, and not put moral pressure on ourselves.

Chen Shi said solemnly to everyone: "I am not a good person, I am just here to seek revenge, don't treat me as a good person! Don't build a shrine for me, don't worship me! If I find out, I will destroy your temple!"

The private school teacher was stunned and watched him carry the vermilion beam and the dog away.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"At such a young age, he has such courage and bravery. He went into the mountains alone to kill Black Mountain Granny. His courage and insight are truly unparalleled in the world."

The private school teacher sighed and said, "It's a pity that he has a strange personality and doesn't accept our incense and worship."

He had just arrived at the mountain and saw the scene of killing left by Chen Shi along the way. When he arrived at the Black Mountain Grandma Temple, he saw the ruins all over the ground and the black statue that had been broken into pieces. He was even more shocked.

He couldn't believe that Chen Shi was the master who killed so many big rats and blasted Black Mountain Granny. When he met him on the road, he thought he was the master's follower, but he didn't meet the master on the top of the mountain. Then he believed that it was Chen Shi who plowed the yard and killed Black Mountain Granny.

He hurriedly led the crowd to meet him, but unexpectedly Chen Shi refused their thanks.

A student asked: "Teacher, he said he was avenging others, not getting rid of harm for us, so should we still be grateful to him?"

"You should be grateful."

The private school teacher asked seriously, "Will the elimination of Black Mountain Grandma be beneficial to the 4,600 people in our 18 villages and one town?"

The student nodded.

The private school teacher asked, "Will it be possible for us to not be oppressed by evil spirits, to not have to make monthly offerings, and to not have to offer young boys and girls to the Black Mountain Lady every year? Will it be possible for us to not be oppressed by rats?"

Everyone nodded.

The private school teacher said: "As the saying goes, a gentleman is judged by his deeds, not his heart. Although he does not have the heart of a gentleman, he acts like a gentleman. We do not need to see why he came here, but only see whether what he did is good or evil. Treating people in this way is the golden mean."

Everyone said yes.

The student asked again: "Then, should we still build a shrine for him?"

"No need. Since he is our benefactor and doesn't want us to build a shrine for him, why should we make him unhappy?"

The private school teacher motioned for everyone to return to the village quickly, saying, "In this case, although we remember his kindness, if the benefactor needs help, we can lend a hand and repay the kindness. Everyone, it's getting dark, let's go back as soon as possible!"

On the other side, Chen Shi came to the Tiger Temple, put down the vermilion beam, bowed to the Tiger shrine, and immediately left the mountain and returned home.

As soon as he got home, he saw the sun in the sky close its eyes and the moon became brighter and brighter.

Now it has become a routine for the moon to appear during the day, and he has gradually become accustomed to it.

The same is true for the moon.

During the day, their eyes seem half open, but at night they become wide open.

Outside the village, hundreds of evil spirits roam at night. In recent days, every night is as lively as a festival.

Because the godmother of Huangpo Village was injured, the sacred tree became bare. These evil spirits wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, so they broke into the village and had a good time.

Although the godmother of Huangpo Village was injured, her situation was not trivial. These evil spirits made trouble several times and were beaten to a pulp, but they were still reluctant to leave.

Chen Shi returned home and boiled medicine for himself.

Hei Guo told Chen Shi not to cook dinner for him in the evening because he had eaten a lot of rats today.

Chen Shi didn't dare to sleep that night. He kept activating the Three Lights of Righteousness, stepping on the Seven Stars, and practicing diligently.

He killed so many gray rats and rat elders today, and also killed Black Mountain Grandma, and he was worried that he would have a seizure at night.

To his surprise, the night was peaceful and the green ghost hand on his chest did not show any abnormalities, so he spent the night safely.

Chen Shi was extremely surprised.

Under the big tree in front of the Chen family’s door, Grandma Sha was also extremely surprised.

There was also a green sheep under the tree, looking towards Chen Shi's room with its paws raised, wondering, "Mother-in-law, didn't you say that he would get sick if he ate souls? He killed so many demons and monsters and ate so many souls, why didn't he get sick?"

Granny Sha had a worried look on her face. The wrinkles on her face were almost like forming the Chinese character "苦". She said, "How should I know? If you kill someone and eat their soul, you will get sick that night. This is what Chen Yindu told me! Who knows how it could be wrong!"

The bearded man stroked his beard and thought, "The one that ate the soul was another evil spirit, and the one that caused the disease was the green ghost hand. The two are not the same. Is this the reason?"

"Probably!"

Qing Yang suggested, "But I think it would be safer to call Chen Yindu over and ask him. Mother-in-law, can you call Chen Yindu out?"

Granny Sha hesitated for a moment and said, "You can give it a try! Wait a moment."
