Yan Rong and others rode their horses downstream along the Dejiang River.

This time the dragon was running away, it was the dragon raised by their uncle Yan Jingsi that was about to metamorphose, and it ran out from the dragon breeding pond in Xuanwu Pavilion, and swam down the river, causing a flood and drowning some people living along the river. He then collected souls to practice martial arts.

My uncle Yan Jingsi has moved to Lei County ten years ago. He liked this dragon very much and named it Shangshan, which means "Shangshan is like water". He hopes that the dragon can understand my uncle's love for the people.

Although the name of Jiaolong Shangshan was good, he was naughty and playful. He had walked away from the dragon before, which made his uncle very angry and scolded Shangshan for a long time. It was only after Yan Rong and others persuaded him and made a fool of himself to make his uncle laugh that his uncle changed his anger and stopped punishing Shangshan.

Therefore, Jiaolong Shangshan has a very good relationship with Yan Rong and others. He often uses the Jiaolong inner elixir he has refined to help them temper their bodies and souls, refine their physiques, polish their true energy, and teach them Taoism.

They also benefited a lot from this, and their relationship with Jiaolong Shangshan became even better.

The Jiaolong Shangshan transforms once a year, which is actually a result of his cultivation of the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Elixir, which occurs once a year. This year is the ninth year. After the Nine Revolutions, the Golden Elixir is mature, and he can then collect the great medicine, plant the Golden Elixir, produce yellow buds, conceive the Nascent Soul, and transform into a dragon.

"Uncle Shangshan has achieved the ninth level of his golden elixir, so this time the dragon is extremely important. My uncle also turned a blind eye and allowed it to escape from the dragon-raising pond, hoping that it would cultivate the ninth level of its golden elixir and transform into a dragon."

Yan Rong was worried and said, "In the past, when Uncle Shangshan was gone, he would come back after his transformation. But this time, he hasn't come back yet, which makes me worried. If he runs away and doesn't come back, wouldn't it be a waste of my uncle's hard work in cultivating him all these years?"

Yan Qing smiled and said, "Brother Yan Rong, you are overthinking. Uncle Shangshan was a little unruly at first, but after all these years of getting along, he has long regarded us as family. If it wanted to leave, why couldn't it leave a few years ago? It stayed not only because my Xuanwu Pavilion has the Jiaolong skills and spiritual beast meat to feed it, but also because it has a good relationship with us, just like a family."

Yan Fang and Yan Shuo nodded, feeling the same way.

The crowd galloped past one village after another, all of which were ruins left after being flooded. They did not stop and continued to rush downstream.

Yan Fang suddenly asked, "Did Chen Shi really die ten years ago and come back to life two years ago? How could he come back to life after being dead for so long?"

Yan Qing and Yan Shuo had the same question and couldn't help but look at Yan Rong.

Yan Rong is the most outstanding member of the Yan family in Xuanwu Pavilion. He is highly respected by the other members of the royal family. He is also knowledgeable and always has his own ideas.

"Of course Chen Shi has come back from the dead."

Yan Rong sat on the horse and said, "The bigwigs in Xijing were very frightened when they heard about this. Even the ancestor of the Yan family in the cabinet repeatedly used the Thousand Miles Sound Token to contact my uncle, repeatedly ordering him to closely monitor Chen Yindu and Chen Shi's grandson and not to slack off."

He sighed, "My uncle originally had a bright future in the Yan family, but because of this grandfather and grandson, he was demoted to Lei County as a county magistrate, where he stayed for ten years. His youth was wasted."

"Brother Yan Rong, how strong is Chen Shi? Is he really as incredible as the rumors say?"

Yan Fang said, "When I fought him just now, I forced him to flee before I could even use my true strength. He doesn't seem to have the strength to kill Mr. Zeng."

Everyone nodded. Yan Qing said, "This kid is still so arrogant. He threatened us with killing Li Tianxiu's cousin. I really want to teach him a lesson on the spot!"

Yan Rong smiled and said, "You are all cultivators, so you should be more open-minded. Chen Shi is nothing to worry about. The real powerful one is his grandfather Chen Yindu. He is a figure that even Xijingdu fears. If Chen Yindu is dead, Chen Shi is just an ant, and he can be crushed to death by you and me. If Chen Yindu is not dead, even if Chen Shi slaps me twice in front of me, I will not fight back."

"Brother Yan Rong is really generous."

Yan Shuo laughed and said, "If it were me, I would definitely kill him. At worst, I would commit suicide to apologize, a life for a life!"

The crowd chatted and laughed as they arrived at Qiaowan Town, where they saw townspeople carrying hoes and shovels and rushing downstream. They followed them and saw that the shore of the Dejiang River was full of swollen corpses. The townspeople of Qiaowan Town were digging pits on the spot, intending to bury the bodies before the moon came out.

Yan Rong and others were shocked: "Why did so many people die?"

Yan Qing went to inquire and whispered, "These bodies are from drowned people. I heard that they were dragged to the bottom of the water by a river dragon and hidden here. As soon as I heard it, I knew it was Uncle Shangshan who did it. It likes to hide things."

Yan Shuo's face suddenly changed: "Brother Yan Rong, so many people died. If there is a commotion, will it affect my uncle's and our careers?"

Everyone felt heavy in their hearts, more than a thousand lives were lost!

If they were taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives and reported to the Yan family, even Lord Yan would not be able to suppress it!

In the Ming Dynasty, there are still laws!
Yan Rong calmed down and said, "They didn't drown this year, but they drowned for several years. That's why there are so many. Uncle Shangshan is not so cruel. Don't panic, let's find Uncle Shangshan first!"

They went down the river and soon arrived at the place where the dragon corpse was found.

A huge number of people gathered around to watch the dragon's corpse. People from nearby towns and villages came to see the dragon's corpse, and they surrounded it so tightly that no one could get in or out.

They finally squeezed in front of the dragon's corpse, and when they saw the dragon's body and head separated, their faces changed. When they saw the talisman engraved on the dragon's horn, their faces turned pale.

"It's Uncle Shangshan!"

Several people looked at each other, walked out of the crowd, and whispered, "It's not easy for my uncle to raise this dragon. He has been feeding it with good meat, elixirs, and herbs. It eats better than us. If my uncle knew that Uncle Shangshan died here, he would be heartbroken!"

"How did Uncle Shangshan die?"

Yan Shuo said, "It's a dragon, it's very powerful, even a Yuanying realm cultivator can't take it down, how could it be killed by someone chopping off its head?"

Everyone looked solemn. Being able to cut off a dragon's head with one sword was such a terrifying strength!

They asked around and soon got the news. With strange looks on their faces, they rode their horses to the stone arch bridge in Qiaowan Town.

Yan Fang didn't care about shocking the world. He raised his head, came under the bridge, opened his mouth, bit the hilt of the bronze sword, and took off the dragon-slaying sword.

Most of the people in the town were not in the town. They went to bury the bodies in the bend below, and no one paid any attention to them.

Everyone looked at the bronze sword and saw that it had a simple shape and should be a style from the Qin and Han dynasties. Nowadays, few people use this style of sword.

The sword has been sharpened, and there are strange patterns left by cinnabar and black dog blood on the blade, which have seeped into the copper blade.

Yan Fang bent the sword and found it was very soft. It was hard to imagine how this bronze sword could kill a giant dragon like Shangshan!
"I heard from people nearby that it was a talisman master named Chen Shi who forged a bronze sword with a hundred coins, hung it on the bridge, and killed Uncle Shangshan!"

Yan Shuo swallowed his saliva to moisten his dry throat, "Is this Chen Shi the same Chen Shi we just met?"

Yan Rong couldn't help but frowned and said, "I've heard about the method of refining the Dragon Slaying Sword. It requires coins from hundreds of families. These copper coins have passed through the hands of countless people and are stained with the yang energy of the world. They are naturally treasures that can ward off evil spirits. Gather these copper coins, forge them into a sword, and then use the Taoist secret scrolls to kill dragons. It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, Taoists often followed the orders of the emperor and local governors to hang Dragon Slaying Swords at important river mouths. At that time, Dragon Kings were enfeoffed in various places in Shenzhou. In order to prevent the Dragon King from visiting or doing evil in other places, this sword was hung. However, from the Tang Dynasty to now, countless years have passed, and the Dragon Slaying Sword has long been lost!"

He paused and said, "It's not Chen Shi who is powerful, but the Dragon Slaying Sword. As long as they know how to refine it, any talisman master can refine this treasure. The method of refining the Dragon Slaying Sword was probably passed on to Chen Shi by Chen Yindu, but it unexpectedly killed Uncle Shangshan."

Yan Qing hurriedly said: "Brother Yan Rong, Chen Shilian used the Dragon Slaying Sword to kill Uncle Shang Shan, this vengeance..."

Yan Rong hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course we can't let this matter go. However, let's go back to Lei County first, tell my uncle about this, and ask him to make the decision." Everyone agreed, mounted their horses, and headed straight for Lei County.

Yan Qing suddenly said, "We met Chen Shi at the cemetery. He seemed to be heading to Lei County. Maybe we can see him in Lei County."

Chen Shi carried the black pot and walked upstream along the traces of flood along the way. Soon he arrived at the county seat of Lei County.

Lei County is located by the river, with a huge quarry behind it. Behind the quarry is the Gangjin Mountains, which are many times larger than the Qianyang Mountains. However, the mountains are round and mostly small, not as dense as the Qianyang Mountains. There are many lakes between the mountains, and Dejiang runs through the mountains, connecting one lake after another.

Gold mining is very developed here. The quarry was originally set up because of the discovery of gold mines. Gold miners wearing hats to protect themselves from the sun can often be seen near the lake and Dejiang River.

As Chen Shi walked along, he saw two gold miners fighting outside the city. One of them chopped off the other's head with the Ziwu Zhanxie Sword, took out the gold the other had mined and put it into his own pocket.

"Kid, you didn't see anything!"

When the gold miner saw Chen Shi, his eyes flashed with murderous intent and he wanted to kill him. However, he saw that Chen Shi was young and did not want to kill a child, so he pressed down the brim of his hat, lowered his head and hurried away.

Chen Shi came to the dead gold miner, took a look at him, waved his hand and slashed the ground with sword energy, raising a large piece of earth and rocks, burying the body, and continued to move forward.

Not long after, he entered the county seat of Lei County with the black pot.

Lei County is different from Xinxiang County. In Xinxiang County, you can see many vendors selling mountain products, most of whom are men who have crossed mountains and rivers from the countryside to the county town, while here you can see gold miners in a hurry, often wearing a short linen jacket with a shiny black sheen that has not been washed for a long time.

The gold miners' skin was tanned to a shiny black and red color, and their bodies were covered with muscles, making them very strong.

Chen Shi went to a teahouse, sat down and asked Dr. Tea for information.

Dr. Tea laughed and said, "Most of these gold diggers are scholars, some of them are even scholars with official titles. But even if they pass the examination, what's the use? If they can't find a job, they still have to dig for food in the soil. So they took off their scholars' long clothes, put on short coats, and went to pan for gold."

As he poured tea, he said, "Sir, don't be fooled by their rude appearance, but they are very eloquent and can write you a long essay. They are also very good at writing."

Chen Shi nodded gently and said, "Who in our county raises dragons? I killed a spirit beast in the mountains and want to sell it for money."

"Raising a dragon? Only County Magistrate Yan has a dragon at home."

Dr. Tea said, "The dragons in their family are very large and eat a lot. They often come to the market to buy spirit beast meat. In the middle of the night, you can hear the dragon roaring, which is similar to the sound of a cow, but dozens of times louder, and it makes your chest buzz!"

Chen Shi drank the tea and felt it tasted bad, so he asked the Tea Master for a plate of fruit and dried meat. He gave the dried meat to Hei Guo and ate the fruit himself.

After he finished eating the fruit, he also found out the name of the magistrate of Lei County, his level of cultivation, where he lived, and who was in his family.

Chen Shi paid the money, stood up and walked out.

After the tea doctor cleared the tea table, he said to the shopkeeper, "An enemy has come to County Magistrate Yan's house. The young man just now was probably here to seek revenge. He asked very detailed questions, even asking how many people there were in the family."

The shopkeeper asked, "Did you say that?"

"said."

The shopkeeper stamped his feet and said, "You, you've hurt someone again! How can this guy be a match for the other person when he goes to seek revenge? He must have been fed to the dragon of the county magistrate's family!"

He chased out of the teahouse, but saw that Chen Shi and Hei Guo had disappeared in the crowd. He returned to the teahouse with a dark face and glared at the Tea Doctor fiercely.

Dr. Tea also felt aggrieved and did not dare to retort.

Chen Shi came to the outside of the county government office and observed its layout. After turning around, his eyes fell on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner floating in the air.

Lei County’s Ten Thousand Souls Banner was fluttering in the air.

There are no ten thousand souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner of Xinxiang County, only more than eight thousand resentful souls, which have not yet been refined.

But Lei County’s Ten Thousand Souls Banner has been refined, and there are definitely more than ten thousand souls in the banner, the number will only be greater!
This treasure is extremely powerful. Chen Shi judged that he could not withstand the power of this treasure at all.

He came to the outside of Xuanwu Pavilion, which was a garden with a pavilion built on a rockery, which looked like a turtle or snake flying, so it was called Xuanwu Pavilion.

This is the place built by the Yan family in Lei County, Xinxiang Province, to train their children. Yan Jingsi is usually busy with official duties, but after finishing his work, he will come to Xuanwu Pavilion to teach the children of the Yan family.

Chen Shi observed for a while and found that there were not many Yan family members coming in and out, only five people in total, but their cultivation strength was not weak, and four of them had achieved golden elixir.

"County Magistrate Yan Jingsi is indeed good at teaching. Dr. Cha said that County Magistrate Yan Jingsi was already in the Nascent Soul stage when he came to Lei County. After arriving in Lei County, his Nascent Soul left his body many times, manifested himself as a saint, and radiated divine light. This man cannot be defeated."

He thought for a moment and said to Hei Guo, "There are many experts in Xuanwu Pavilion, and the defense is tight. I can't get in. I can only do what I can. I am not strong enough to deal with Yan Jingsi."

Both Yan Jingsi and the Wanhun Banner were extremely vicious.

The gap is too big. Even if Chen Shi has cultivated to the second level of Golden Elixir, as long as the other party touches him even slightly, it would be possible to take his life!

Chen Shi turned around and prepared to leave, when he heard a loud laugh: "Life is full of encounters! Brother Chen Shi, we meet again!"

Chen Shi looked and saw Yan Rong, Yan Fang and others dismounted from their horses and walked towards him with big laughs.

"Brother Chen, since you have come to my Xuanwu Pavilion, how can you come with high hopes and leave with low hopes?"

Yan Rong extended his hand and said with a smile, "I wonder if Brother Chen could do me a favor and come sit in the Xuanwu Pavilion?"

Chen Shi was slightly stunned. Doesn't this mean he can enter the Xuanwu Pavilion?

He nodded gently and said, "Sorry for bothering you."

Yan Rong led the way with a smile on his face, saying, "Come here, inform the county magistrate and tell him that Chen Shi from Xinxiang County is here to visit and has arrived at Xuanwu Pavilion! Brother Chen, you must stay and taste our Yan family's family feast. The county magistrate is my uncle and has been thinking about you for a long time."

He looked at Chen Shi meaningfully.

Chen Shi blinked: "Will Yan Jingsi come?"
