Chapter 85: Transformation into God
The godmother of Huangpo Village, the girl whose hands turned into branches, heard the conversation between the two strange people and looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

She knew how dangerous Chen Yindu was. When he was still in the human world, he needed to hold a green umbrella and be accompanied by the giant snake Xuanshan to suppress his evil nature. If he was summoned out, without Xuanshan's suppression, he would immediately break out and completely destroy this place!
However, although Xiao Gan Niang was not weak, she was too weak compared to the three giants in front of her. Even though she heard that they were planning to summon Chen Yindu, she did not dare to stop them.

Fortunately, these three giants did not go too far and summon Chen Yindu in the village.

"If we summon Mr. Chen outside, something bad will happen as well." She blinked and watched them leave Huangpo Village.

Granny Sha, Qingyang, and the bearded man came to the outskirts of the village. Qingyang urged, "Don't leave, stay here. Old woman, quickly summon Old Chen!"

Granny Sha rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think you are summoning a ghost? Old Chen is in the underworld in physical form. He has practiced the water and fire refining technique to become a corpse-reincarnating immortal. It's impossible to summon him out, but we can use the traction created when we summon him to send us to the underworld to see him!"

Her mind moved slightly, and the shadow under the moonlight suddenly grew in all directions, becoming ferocious.

Her five shadows stood up and transformed into five ghost kings, crossing their hands and waiting for orders.

After Granny Sha gave some instructions, the five ghost kings rushed away to move the altar.

Not long after, the five ghost kings brought the altar. The altar was divided into three layers. On the bottom layer, banners with talismans of the Five Mountains, Four Seas and Four Rivers were inserted on the four corners.

When the light shone through these talismans, the shadows of the Five Mountains, Four Seas and Four Rivers appeared in the sky around the altar.

On the middle layer are the star lamps of the Twenty-Eight Constellations. The star lamps are seven inches high and are forged in the image of the twenty-eight constellations. There is a star disk behind them with different star symbols painted on it. When the lights are on, the structure of the star symbols will be reflected in the air.

On the top layer hung spiritual banners of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise. Embroidered on the inside of the banners were patterns of the four gods, as well as a circle formed by talismans. When illuminated by lights, the light of the four gods could be seen in the air, appearing vividly.

Granny Sha stood on the third-tier altar, arranged various instruments, and said, "Come up, follow me to see Old Chen."

Seeing her arrangement, the bearded man hesitated and said, "I still have the fox clan to take care of. The lives of the entire clan depend on me. Grandma, is your method reliable?"

Granny Sha sneered, "Old Hu, if you are timid, then don't mention the fox clan all the time. My prayer altar and reverse summoning method are indeed a bit unorthodox... But do you still not trust me?"

The bearded man and Qingyang ascended the altar.

Granny Sha asked them to hold three incense sticks each, saying, "The reason for three incense sticks is to offer them to the Three Pure Ones. After all, we are living people going to the underworld this time, so it is inevitable that we will attract ghosts and gods. If we are not careful, we will die in the underworld."

The bearded man shuddered and his hand holding the incense became unsteady.

Granny Sha continued, "So, we must first become gods. We must become ghosts and gods."

She pinched her fingers together, chanted a spell, and let the Qi flow through her body. Suddenly, she quickly tapped the foreheads of Qingyang and the bearded man, and shouted, "Open your wisdom eyes and see ghosts and gods!"

The fox and the sheep felt pain on their foreheads, and unexpectedly an eye grew between their eyebrows. The eyes rolled around, and they could see the whole underworld.

"Growing fangs!"

Granny Sha made a fighting seal with her hands and pressed it on the chins of the two men. The two men suddenly felt their teeth growing wildly, and they actually grew fangs like ghosts and gods!

Granny Sha dispersed the Dou Seal, transformed it into the God Seal and the Mountain Seal, tapped the two men's shoulders twice, and shouted, "Hold the Three Heads!"

Flesh and blood grew on the shoulders of the bearded man and Qingyang, and two more heads grew out!

Granny Sha used the Noon Fire Technique again and tapped the two men's shoulders and sides twice, shouting, "Six Arms!"

The flesh and blood on the shoulders and underarms of the two men grew wildly, and their bones regenerated. In just a short moment, they grew four more arms!

They became ferocious and evil, like ghosts from the underworld!
Granny Sha took out treasures such as bows, arrows, swords, halberds, ropes, and seals, and handed them to them, saying, "When you get to the underworld, you must stay by my side and not leave. Otherwise, the distance will be too far and my magic will be broken. If the ghosts and gods in the underworld recognize your identities, you will die even if you have supernatural powers. After all, I have offended too many ghosts and gods in the underworld!"

She then took out a small incense burner, which was a strange dragon-like beast with a short stature, a round belly, a dragon head, a long neck, and a dragon tail sticking out from behind its round belly.

Its mouth was wide open and its eyes were round, as if it was looking out into the distance.

This thing is called Chaofeng Incense Burner.

Granny Sha stuck a stick of incense on its forehead, handed a bundle of incense to the five ghost kings, and said, "The three of us will go to the underworld, and you will guard the incense altar. No matter day or night, rain or thunder, you must not let the incense on the incense burner go out. If it burns out, you must immediately replace it with a new stick. Do you understand?"

The five ghost kings quickly agreed.

Granny Sha was still worried and said, "There is a little guy named Chen Shi in the next village. If he sees you and asks you what you are doing, don't pay attention to him. This little guy has evil intentions!"

Remember the five great ghost kings.

Granny Sha was ready and immediately cast a spell.

Her appearance quickly became more beautiful, her age also quickly became younger, and her figure became taller and taller. In just a short moment, she changed from an old and short old woman to a young woman about 145 meters tall.

Her clothes also became extremely luxurious, with silks and satins, and fluttering ribbons. Her movements were graceful and her eyes were affectionate.

Her beautiful hair fluttered in the wind, growing longer and longer. At the end of each hair, there grew a beautiful head, full of affection, gentle, fiery, enchanting, charming, smiling, sad, moaning softly, or shyly humming.

Each head is extremely beautiful, but when so many heads, as numerous as hairs, are gathered together and float in the air, they are not that beautiful.

"After the old woman dies, she will become a ghost, and her death will be extremely horrible!" The bearded man and Qingyang looked at each other and thought to themselves.

After Granny Sha finished her transformation into a god, she paused and the power of the altar took effect.

The three of them floated and fell into the underworld, drifting along with a force that was pulling Chen Yindu away.

Qingyang and the bearded man looked back and saw that the small incense burner had become extremely huge, standing tall and straight like a giant mountain beast. The incense on its head turned into a bright lamp, showing them the way.

"Three days, my magic can only last for three days at most!"

Granny Sha said, "If we can't find Old Chen within three days, we'll go back immediately!"

They walked without touching the ground, riding the wind, at a very fast speed.

Chen Shi woke up in the morning, cooked as usual, and burned incense for his godmother, then he saw a new altar not far from the village. Around the altar stood five ghost kings, who looked familiar, and were raised by Granny Sha.

These five ghost kings were originally lonely ghosts. Because Granny Sha wanted to practice the Five Ghost Moving Technique, she took them in for her own use. They followed her in practice, became increasingly powerful, and became ghost kings.

Chen Shi came closer, looked at the altar, and asked with a smile, "What are you doing?"

"We won't say anything!" The five ghost kings were very tough.

Chen Shi stood on tiptoe and looked up, smiling, "We are all brothers, let me see what's wrong?"

The five ghost kings hurriedly stood in front of him to prevent him from seeing.

Chen Shi took out a bundle of incense, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Brother, you can smoke this. I bought this from the county. It's very strong." Several ghost kings hesitated and wanted to take the incense. The big ghost king hurriedly said: "You must distinguish between a full meal and a full meal. If you take his incense, grandma will not take us in from now on!"

The ghost kings immediately refused sternly.

Chen Shi had no choice but to leave in dismay, thinking, "I wonder what fun things Granny Sha is tinkering with that she didn't even invite me."

After paying respects to his godmother and burning incense for Zhu Xiucai, he did not stay any longer and headed straight for the Mountain Monarch Temple in Qianyang Mountain with two bricklayers from the village.

When they arrived at the Shanjun Temple, Chen Shi ordered them to repair the front hall, paid them enough money for the materials and labor, and said, "I have painted a charm on the main hall, so you are not allowed to go in."

He came to the main hall, where the extraordinary power was gathering towards the shrine. Inside the shrine, it seemed as if something was taking shape.

This was the process of shaping the divine image using extraordinary power, which surprised Chen Shi.

The Tiger Temple has always had extraordinary power but no divine appearance. Why is it trying to create a divine appearance again?
Apart from myself, no one else comes here often.

"Could it be related to that stone box?"

Chen Shi was stunned and took out a small stone from the bookcase. The stone box had become so big now, so something must have been released from it.

"Could the thing forming in the shrine be a tiger? We will know once the divine image is formed!"

He closed the temple door and hung up a charm. This charm guarded the Tiger Temple. If anyone approached, their soul would be bewitched and they would fall unconscious.

He was worried that the masons might offend the mountain god, so he hung up this talisman.

"We can't keep Shao Jing waiting for too long!"

Chen Shi called on the scapegoat, and the man and the dog activated the Jia Ma Fu and headed straight for Xinxiang County.

It was not until most of the morning that they arrived at the county town and entered the Juxian Tower.

Shao Jing and a private school teacher were already waiting for him. Chen Shi quickly apologized. Shao Jing smiled and said, "You came from the countryside and have to travel a hundred miles. It's normal that you're late. Come, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Fu Leisheng from Wencai Academy. Mr. Fu, this is the country talent I mentioned, Chen Shi."

Chen Shi greeted the private school teacher Fu Leisheng. Fu Leisheng nodded slightly, sat down and accepted his greeting, and said with a smile: "I will take this as a gift to become your teacher. Please stand up."

Chen Shi straightened up and said with a smile, "Sir, please take care of me in this county examination." After that, he handed over an ingot of silver weighing about ten taels.

Fu Leisheng looked a little embarrassed. He glanced at Shao Jing and said with a smile, "I don't like this. Put it away quickly! This time it was Young Master Shao who invited me. How can I accept your benefits again?"

Chen Shi put the silver ingot away.

The three of them talked for a while, and Fu Leisheng put down his tea bowl, stood up and said goodbye, "Chen Shi, if you are free, please go to Wencai Academy and have a seat."

Chen Shi said yes, and said, "I will visit the teacher again in the afternoon."

After he left, Chen Shi thanked Shao Jing again. Shao Jing smiled and said, "It's just a small favor. It's nothing to mention."

Chen Shi took out a rat tail tip and said, "Brother Shao, I got a treasure these days. Brother Shao, please take a look."

Shao Jing picked up the tip of the mouse's tail, but saw that it looked like meat and jade, crystal clear, translucent, and somewhat soft when pinched. It had no smell and he couldn't tell what it was. He asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Chen Shi recounted how he got the item and its uses, saying, "Although the rat is dead, massaging the head with the tip of its tail can make people fall asleep for a while. Perhaps it can cure insomnia. I wonder if it can be sold for a good price?"

He was worried, not knowing whether the rat's tail was valuable.

Shao Jing's face changed slightly. He stood up suddenly and looked at the tip of the tail as if he saw a monster, his face changing from gloomy to bright.

Chen Shi was surprised and didn't know why he reacted so strongly.

"Brother Chen Shi, do you really not know the use of this thing?"

Shao Jing calmed himself down, sat down again, and shook his head, "This thing is by no means as simple as curing insomnia. It's more dangerous. Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao. Come in!"

A pretty and slightly naughty girl came in and said with a smile, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Shao Jing picked up the tip of the rat's tail and rubbed it on her head a few times. Xiao Tao's body softened and she lay on the ground, sleeping soundly with a smile on her face.

Shao Jing looked at Chen Shi: "Do you understand?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "This is what I meant by curing insomnia... Wait, you mean, you can use this thing to rob people!"

Shao Jing smiled and said, "You are still young, so you don't understand the wonderful use of this thing. This thing can be used to pick flowers! If this thing spreads out, I don't know how many girls will lose their reputation!"

Chen Shi seemed to understand, and asked, "Is this thing still valuable?"

Shao Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "It is definitely valuable. If a small shop displays this item openly, each item will be sold out at a price of 100 taels of silver. It can be used for robbery, flower picking, and murder. It will be very useful. In a few days, the people in the county will be in a panic, and people wearing iron hats will be everywhere."

Chen Shi was shocked: "Then I won't sell it!"

Shao Jing shook his head and said, "We still have to take them. We'll keep them for now and see if there are other proper uses for them in the future. How many of these tail tips do you have? We'll give you ten taels of silver each, and we'll take them all."

Chen Shi asked, "Brother Shao, you won't use this thing to do evil?"

Shao Jing said seriously: "I won't do evil."

Chen Shi then took out the rat tails from the book box. Shao Jing was shocked to find that there were actually three or four hundred of them in the book box!
Chen Shi took out the five best ones and said, "These are the tail tips of the five rats that have refined the golden elixir. The effect should be better. The other rat tails are much inferior. Some rat tails have low cultivation and poor quality."

Shao Jing calmed down and said, "No matter whether it's good or bad, I'll take it at ten taels each. What do you think?"

Chen Shi nodded slightly.

Xiao Tao got up from the ground and asked in confusion: "Master, why did I fall asleep on the ground? What happened?"

Shao Jing rubbed her head again, and the girl actually fell asleep while standing.

Shao Jing sighed: "This thing is really a demonic thing, it can definitely arouse the demonic thoughts in people's hearts. Even I couldn't help but get angry when I got this thing."

He ordered his men to count the number of rat tails, fetch silver notes, and pay them to Chen Shi, saying, "If there are any more treasures, please take good care of our shop. If they are too weird... I'd better destroy them directly and don't bring them to you."

Chen Shi originally planned to take out the small stone, but he didn't know what Shao Jing would do with the tip of the rat's tail, so he didn't take out the small stone, thinking: "Let's see what he does."
