Chapter 122 I am good at cultivating the noble spirit
Chen Shi’s mind was full of wild thoughts. Could it be that he was not a pauper, but his grandfather was actually very rich, wealthy enough to rival a country, and left him countless wealth?
Or maybe he was sleeping in a doghouse with Hei Guo not long ago, and the next moment, one hundred thousand soldiers in the Spirit Transformation Realm were kneeling outside the doghouse, welcoming him to ascend the throne in Xijing?
Maybe my grandfather has arranged a marriage for me, and there are dozens of beautiful princesses waiting for me to grow up and marry them?
Damn!
He has no experience in dealing with such things. What should he do if he encounters it?
Ding Ding noticed that the scholar was in a daze, so she quickly waved her hand in front of him.
Chen Shi came back to his senses from the beautiful dream of dozens of beautiful princesses and thought: "Madam Hua Li asked me if I still remembered her. Could it be that I was still alive at the last Sanren meeting?"
He quickly spat twice: "Children speak without restraint, good luck! Of course I'm still alive! Sister Ding Ding, what else do you know about me and Grandpa?"
Ding Ding thought for a moment and said, "Madam didn't say much to you. She just mentioned the young master because she was injured and had to come to Jinghu Villa to recuperate. But she said a lot about the young master's grandfather."
She whispered, "I think the lady might be interested in the young master's grandfather. When she mentioned him, she was full of admiration. There might be a story between them!"
She was serious and took it very seriously.
Chen Shi couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister Ding Ding, you think too much! How could my grandfather have a story with Madam Hua Li at such an old age? Don't talk nonsense! If my grandfather had a story, it was with Granny Sha!"
Ding Ding thought for a moment and said, "That's possible. Madam also said that your grandfather was a playboy and had affairs with many women."
Chen Shi was a little angry, his face flushed, and he stammered, "If you slander my grandfather again, I will never talk to you again!"
Ding Ding quickly begged for mercy and said with a smile: "It was the Madam who said that, not me. I was just repeating what the Madam said, don't be angry. Can I give you a kiss? Don't be angry!"
Chen Shi's anger suddenly subsided, and he said, "Okay. I'm not angry anymore. Where do you want to kiss me?"
"Kiss on the cheek."
Chen Shi kissed her on the cheek, and they reconciled.
Although Chen Shi was kissing her face, his own face was hot, and he quickly said, "I'll go see Zaoshu Ganmiao."
Ding Ding saw that he kissed her face without any other actions, and thought to herself: "Young Master seems to be a little different from the men my sisters talk about. I heard that those men would ask for a kiss on the mouth after kissing her face, and would touch her randomly after kissing her mouth, making her feel upset and confused, and she would unconsciously become limp and let him do whatever he wants. Young Master didn't do that. Is it because he is young and too naive?"
Chen Shi didn't have such complicated thoughts in his mind, and went straight to the jujube tree.
This jujube tree is extremely old, with tangled roots and an extremely thick trunk. Although it was crushed by the Five Mountains True Shape Map, it is not dead and its roots are still active.
A big-headed doll was lying under the tree, covered with bruises, staring blankly at the sky with wide eyes.
It was wearing a red bellyband with a large carp with a golden tail embroidered on it, in the shape of a leaping dragon gate.
The big-headed doll is white and plump, and looks very wealthy and festive. Apart from this red bellyband, it is not wearing anything else.
Seeing Chen Shi coming here, it looked ferocious, bared its teeth at Chen Shi, and struggled hard, trying to get up, but couldn't move.
Although it had great magical powers and had turned into an evil spirit, Chen Shi's Five Mountains House-guarding Talisman transformed into the true forms of the Five Mountains and pressed on its body, making it unable to move.
If it were in the past, the power of this talisman would not be enough to suppress it. However, whether it was because Chen Shi's cultivation had improved or for some other reason, the power of the talisman drawn by Chen Shi became incredibly powerful, and a few Five Mountains House-guarding Talismans suppressed it completely.
Now, although the true form of Wuyue has dissipated, its true body, the jujube tree, has also been destroyed, causing it to suffer heavy damage. Even though it sees Chen Shi, it is unable to take revenge.
A small temple appeared behind Chen Shi's mind. There was a flash of light, and the big-headed doll felt dizzy. The next moment, he found himself in a temple, sitting in a shrine.
A surge of righteous energy came and flowed throughout its body in an instant, and the evil energy in its body was immediately reduced a lot.
The big-headed doll woke up for a moment, but then the evil spirit surged up and he became confused again. He struggled hard, trying to escape from the shrine.
Chen Shi activated the Three Lights Righteousness Art and let out a light exclamation. He felt his own righteousness growing continuously. He used this little baby as a divine fetus and it was even faster than the three ghost kings!
He then realized that although this chubby white baby was full of evil spirit, the jujube tree was a tree full of righteousness. The lightning-struck wood was the jujube tree struck by lightning, and was the best material for warding off evil spirits. The power of thunder and righteousness contained in it would make the evil spirits retreat.
Although this big-headed doll has turned into an evil spirit, its body is also filled with positive energy. If it is used to cultivate the divine fetus, it will naturally be twice as effective with half the effort!
The three ghost kings were released by Chen Shi, and they immediately fled on a gust of cold wind and soon disappeared without a trace.
After a short while, it returned to the other four ghost kings. When the four ghost kings saw him, they were all surprised and asked where he had been. The third ghost king told them about how he was captured and imprisoned by Chen Shi, and said with tears in his eyes, "It's like being in prison. Although I have bundles of incense to offer every day, I am not free after all."
The four ghost kings gloated over other people's misfortune.
But before long, the three ghost kings showed strength that surpassed the big ghost king. They beat the big ghost king so badly that he had to give up his position as boss.
The Third Ghost King has now become the Great Ghost King, and he suddenly misses the days in prison.
Although it has been imprisoned by jailer Chen these days and has been sacrificed from time to time, it has been tempered with righteous energy every day and has received sufficient incense and incense, so its strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, it would not have been able to seize the position of boss.
"Once you enter the temple, it's as deep as the sea. I can't go back after all." It felt quite emotional.
In Sanhe Village, Ding Ding came to Chen Shi with a pipa in her arms, only to see Chen Shi standing next to a fallen jujube tree, trying to draw talismans with his bare hands.
It was his first time to draw talismans with his bare hands.
In the past, he would draw talismans using black dog blood and cinnabar, grind them evenly, and then draw the talismans on yellow paper.
Black dog blood, cinnabar, and yellow paper are all things with strong yang energy. When you infuse your true energy and spirit into the tip of the pen, the three forms of talismans, scrolls, and seal characters can communicate with the gods. When the true energy flows through, you can put the pen to paper in one go and communicate with the gods, making the talismans, scrolls, and seal characters you draw have extraordinary power.
However, drawing talismans with bare hands requires extremely high skills and higher requirements for cultivation.
First of all, the person who draws the talisman must have abundant Yang energy, even to the point of overflowing blood!
Nowadays, cultivators seldom temper their bodies before reaching the Golden Core stage. They only start to temper their bodies after achieving the Golden Core stage. However, there are still not many cultivators in the Golden Core stage who can achieve overflowing Qi and blood.
Chen Shi happened to be one of them.
In the past, he had never thought of drawing talismans with bare hands. This time, when he encountered the blue-clothed scholar, he saw that the other party, whose legs were chopped off by him, actually used his own blood to condense into a talisman in an instant, and grew the body of a silk worm. Only then did he realize that talismans could be drawn in this way.
He drew a spring rain symbol.
His Qi and blood overflowed and flowed along his fingertips, drawing the Three Pure Ones in the air, lighting thunder, and praying for rain and dew, assisted by the Six Dings and Six Jias, gradually forming the structure of the Spring Rain Talisman.
When he withdrew his fingers, his energy and blood actually stayed in the air and did not dissipate.
Even if there was a slight breeze, this strange rune would not disappear!
Chen Shi pinched his sword finger, lightly tapped it, and shouted in a low voice: "Hurry——"
"Shh-"
The Spring Rain Talisman written by his blood and energy suddenly became golden, like a golden flame standing in the air!
A wonderful divine power emanated, connecting heaven and earth, linking yin and yang, and the wind and thunder converged, while the rain gathered, forming a dark cloud about four or five meters in size above the jujube tree.
Along with the sound of spring thunder, the spring rain fell slowly, falling into the soil and nourishing the old tree.
Chen Shi stood in the rain and drew another rejuvenation talisman.
Two golden runes stood in the rain. The rejuvenation rune exuded vitality and had a miraculous power to revive all things!
As time went by, the light of the two runes gradually dimmed, and finally lost its light and dissipated. And on the roots of the jujube tree, a new jujube tree seedling grew out.
Chen Shi squatted down and checked the sapling. There was no evil spirit of the human head jujube tree in the sapling, so it must have been reborn.
The big-headed doll in the small temple was originally rushing around in the temple, trying to escape, but after seeing this situation, he regained some consciousness and looked at the sapling with a dazed look.
It was originally a date tree that had existed in the world a long, long time ago. When people passed by it, they would always stop to rest and tell all kinds of strange stories while leaning against the tree.
As it listened to these stories, the people who rested under it changed one after another, from strangers to familiar faces, and from familiar faces to strangers. Generation after generation passed away, and generation after generation was born.
Every year many children come to the tree and hit the jujubes on it. The adults will scold and drive them away, telling the children that this jujube tree is older than their great-grandfather’s great-grandfather and is already spiritual, so they should not hit it.
But it likes these naughty children very much.
It didn't mind the children hitting its dates, so it shook its body actively, causing the ripe dates to fall down.
When the adults saw this scene, they came under the tree, looked up at it and praised its antiquity.
They burned incense to it, brought many children to it, and worshipped it as their godmother.
It has more and more godsons and goddaughters. When they grow up and become adults, they will bring their children to worship their godmother and pray for its protection.
So it protects generation after generation and becomes the godmother of more and more people.
In fact, it really wants to be a naughty child and play with other children.
It gradually learned to use its extraordinary powers and gradually condensed its own divine appearance.
The divine appearance was successfully condensed into its current form, a fat baby wearing a red carp bellyband.
It wanted to play with the other children, but they couldn't see it.
When it was disappointed, a little baby greeted it and asked it to play with it.
It found that some children could see him and play with him.
It has friends.
But these children gradually grew up and it could no longer be seen, which made it feel a little lost. Fortunately, new children were born in the village, so it would have new friends.
During festivals, people from nearby villages would build a simple stage under the tree. The troupe on the stage would perform hard, and the villagers below would clap their hands so hard that their palms turned red.
These plays are nominally performed for it, but in reality the villagers want to watch them themselves.
The villagers like this lively festival. They kill chickens and geese, catch pigs and roast lambs, distribute wedding candies and set off firecrackers, and watch plays under the trees. With their wives and children around them, they feel indescribably comfortable.
It gradually began to like watching plays. Watching plays was the most lively time. When a play was over, it would shake its body and the red dates on the tree would fall, which would attract children to rush over and grab them. The people in the troupe also liked the reward from its godmother.
They used these dates to honor their elders, saying that eating the dates from the sacred tree could prolong life.
There are indeed many long-lived people in the village.
This kind of life passed for countless days and years, plain and comfortable, until one day, a scholar in blue clothes came here.
It noticed that something was gradually wrong with the villagers. It noticed that these familiar relatives had a strange aura, and that this aura seemed to be contagious, spreading from one person to another.
It couldn't absorb the incense they offered to it!
It panicked.
It has driven away countless evil spirits in its life, but it has never encountered such a strange evil spirit!
It wants to save these villagers, it wants to save these people who call it godmother, because every villager had played under it as a child, had kowtowed to it, and some of them were its playmates!
It can't just watch these people die!
However, it gradually could no longer feel the incense.
I can't feel any trace of incense anymore.
It was illuminated by the moonlight and gradually lost its mind.
Saving the villagers became its last obsession before it turned into a ghost.
So, late one night, Zaoshu's mother went crazy.
It plucked off the villagers' heads and hung them on the tree, thinking they were the longevity dates it had produced.
It believes that this is a kind of protection that can protect its godchildren from the harm of evil spirits.
It is obsessed with watching plays during festivals and the performances of the villagers on the stage. If the performance is not good, it must be possessed by evil spirits, so its head must be taken off and godmother will protect you.
It didn't know that it had turned into a monster more terrifying than evil. It took the heads of its godsons and goddaughters and watched the drama on the stage with relish, as if they were still alive.
It woke up from its memories and looked at the small date tree in front of it.
The new date trees that grew from its roots seemed to have been reborn.
It silently stood up, climbed onto the shrine and sat down.
The small temple seems to contain the righteous energy of heaven and earth, cleansing its evil spirits.
It also actively draws the great energy into the body, attracting the three lights of the sun, moon and stars between heaven and earth in the temple, and transforming them into more positive energy.
"what?"
Chen Shi was quite surprised. He felt that the positive energy in the small temple was flowing, continuously flowing down and being refined into the golden elixir.
In the temple, the sunshine from the ancestral land was shining brightly, and the speed of practicing the Three Lights Righteousness Technique was greatly increased!
"Why is the evil spirit I caught today so quiet and cooperative? Why is it willing to help me practice?"
——Please give me monthly votes at the beginning of the month!
Thanks to Xiao Feiyang from Haokelai for the reward, thank you for your support!
