Chapter 129 Heaven Listener

The terrain in the mountains is changeable. If you take a wrong step, you may get lost in the mountains. Chen Shi goes into the mountains all year round, but if you are not careful, you will still get lost in the mountains.

But now the stone boat is like a bright lamp in Qianyang Mountain, with constant rays of light rising up, guiding them.

What was even more terrifying was the clash between the beings who had cultivated their primordial spirits. The waves emitted, even though weakened by the mountains and trees, still made Chen Shi feel panicky and palpitating when they reached him, as if an invisible wave was passing through his heart, causing his heart to stop or speed up.

A master who has cultivated his primordial spirit is just this powerful.

"Lord Li faked his own death and escaped, making the stone ship the focus of competition among the heroes, while I can just watch from the sidelines. This is indeed a good plan."

Chen Shi was leading the way, and suddenly said, "But Lord Li's death was faked after all. After the Stone Boat Incident, Lord Li came out to do things again. Wouldn't he be laughed at?"

Li Xiaozheng didn't care and said leisurely: "If I can gain real benefits, why would I care about the bad reputation? What's more, if I get the Ming treasure ship, my strength will be greatly increased, and the Li family will use me. My status will be higher. If someone scolds me, naturally there will be people who respect me. At that time, pick a few respected scholars, give them some money, and the scholars will naturally speak well of me. Even if they have no reason, they will say something reasonable."

They climbed over the cliff and passed through a valley, and Chen Shi suddenly slowed down.

Li Xiaozheng and Li Tianqing were puzzled and looked in the direction Chen Shi was looking. They saw dozens of people in gray clothes, gray shoes and gray hats, only seven or eight inches tall, playing on the grass in front of them.

When the little man in gray saw them, he seemed frightened and ran hurriedly into the woods.

Li Xiaozheng's eyes lit up: "This group of gray-clothed little people must be spiritual medicines that have experienced thousands of years and have developed spirituality! If we can follow them and find their roots, we can harvest a lot of high-quality spiritual medicines. Taking them can improve the realm of cultivation and even save lives!"

Chen Shi took out a few incense sticks, lit them and stuck them into the ground, motioning them to bypass the woods.

Li Xiaozheng was surprised and followed him.

"Your Excellency guessed wrong. They are Aconitum transformed into spirits, condensed into spirits. If you eat them, even if you cultivate into a primordial spirit, you will die suddenly."

Chen Shi carefully observed the surroundings and said, "Moreover, these gray-clothed little men are somewhat vicious. They have refined a lot of fine needles, which are very thin, thinner than cow hair, and are coated with poison. If we are disrespectful to them, they will rush out with bamboo tubes in their hands and blow poison needles at us."

Li Xiaozheng looked back and saw many little men in gray clothes coming out of the woods again. Each of them held a bamboo tube in their hands and carried a quiver woven from leaves on their backs, which was filled with poison needles.

When they saw the incense left by Chen Shi, they immediately surrounded it and got close to smell the incense.

The little man in gray who was leading the group gestured towards Chen Shi with a strange posture, as if he was communicating with Chen Shi.

Chen Shi was also gesturing, and his posture was equally strange.

The leader of the gray-clothed men returned to his tribe, while Chen Shi continued to move forward with Li Tianqing and Li Xiaozheng.

"Qianyang Mountain is so mysterious."

Li Xiaozheng was quite surprised and said with a smile, "If one's cultivation was a little lower and he rashly entered the mountain, he would definitely die without knowing how he died. However, such a petty trick is useless to the children of a big family."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw more than a dozen corpses lying on both sides of the mountain road. Their faces were black and blood was coming out of all their orifices. They had died of poisoning!

The surrounding mountains and forests were in a mess, which was the damage caused by the golden elixir.

These people seemed to have encountered an ambush and suffered heavy casualties.

Li Tianqing examined the bodies and said, "They are from the Xia family... There are more ahead! They are from the Yang family... There are also masters from the Xu family over there, and many of them died too!"

Li Xiaozheng looked calm as he said to Chen Shi, "Those who have cultivated the golden elixir are just the outlying descendants of a great clan. They don't always offer the golden elixir, so they deserved to die when attacked by the gray-clothed little man. If they had offered the golden elixir, this wouldn't have happened."

The three men and the dog continued forward and saw several middle-aged men lying dead on the road.

One of them was holding the body of a little man in gray clothes, and his death was quite tragic.

Blood was oozing from all his orifices, and all the muscles and internal organs in his body had melted away, leaving only his skin and clothes. There was still a shrine behind his head, and his divine fetus and primordial infant had turned into a pool of black water. He must have died not long ago.

The deaths of several other people were also extremely tragic, but they were not poisoned by eating the gray-clothed little man.

Li Tianqing checked and said, "There are many hair-like needles stuck in the soles of their feet. The needles must have been stuck on the ground, piercing their shoes and soles, causing them to die of poisoning."

Chen Shi looked at Li Xiaozheng.

Li Xiaozheng's expression was the same as before, and he smiled and said, "There are often some greedy Yuanying realm mediocre people in the big clans who don't know poison and think it is a supreme elixir. It's retribution for them to die here."

Chen Shi couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Li doesn't need to be a great scholar. Mr. Li is a great scholar."

Li Xiaozheng laughed out loud and was not embarrassed at all.

When they came to the dry riverbed, they saw a man in strange clothes, quite far away from the stone boat. The man sat still, and suddenly his ears grew rapidly. In a short time, they grew bigger than the leaves of a cattail fan, up to twelve or thirty feet long and seven or eight feet wide.

The man raised his ears towards the stone boat, as if he was listening attentively.

His energy and blood condensed, and six arms emerged from his side, one in front and one behind his body.

Arms were busy moving around, holding pens and writing quickly, writing and drawing on paper, but no one knew what they were writing.

Li Xiaozheng was not surprised. He retracted his gaze and whispered, "It's the Heaven Listener. Exploring the stone ship is also a big deal for the Heaven Listener. It is reasonable for them to send people to record it."

The second time Chen Shi heard the name Tian Ting Zhe, he asked, "What does Tian Ting Zhe do?"

“The Heaven Hearer is the one who can hear the Heaven above and is the apostle of the true God.”

Li Xiaozheng did not answer. Li Tianqing said, "This person is the lowest level of Tianting Apostle, responsible for listening to the people's hearts, observing their livelihood, and observing their sentiments. It is said that they can communicate with the true God and patrol the world on the orders of the true God to avoid chaos."

Chen Shi looked up at the sun and the moon in the sky. Obviously, we already have the sun and the moon to monitor the world, so why do we still need someone to listen to us?
Yes!

The true God can see all living beings, but cannot hear their voices!

Therefore, the true God needs a group of people to serve as his ears to listen to the voices of the world!
"Then what are Sanren?" Chen Shi asked.

The apostle Tianting beside the riverbed seemed to have heard something, and he turned towards Chen Shi with a swish!
Li Xiaozheng's face changed slightly, and he shook his head and said, "You can't mention this! If you mention it, it will attract the surveillance of the Heavenly Listener. If you are not careful, the apostles will think you are a blasphemer and they will come to purify you!"

Chen Shi's heart tightened: "What is purification?"

Li Tianqing said: "The Heavenly Listeners believe that erasing you in every sense is called purification. For example, your family tree, your parents, your children, as well as your relatives, friends, and neighbors will all have their memories of you erased. All traces of your existence will be erased, and everything you have used will be burned. They will even go to the underworld, search out your heavenly soul and earthly soul, find your Yuanchen Palace, and kill you again."

Chen Shi looked at the Apostle of Tianting with awe. Wherever he went, the Apostle of Tianting's ears turned to that place, obviously thinking that he was extremely suspicious!

And according to Madam Hua Li, he also joined the Sanren and became one of them!
And he is the youngest individual!
"You can't mention that word again for some time."

Li Xiaozheng said, "Until the Heavenly Listeners dispel their suspicion of you. Being targeted by them is definitely not a good thing, but don't worry too much. If you are not a problem, they will never touch you. There are many Heavenly Listeners in Xijing, and they often monitor the major families. We, the aristocratic families, hold the power of the secular world, while they hold the power of the gods."

Chen Shi withdrew his gaze and looked towards the stone boat, feeling quite puzzled.

Sanren is obviously a loose organization, so how could it be monitored so much by Tiantingzhe?
"What if we kill this Heaven Listener?" he asked quietly.

Li Xiaozheng's face changed drastically, and he said sternly: "Don't say anything more!"

The apostle of Tianting also heard this and became nervous. He wrote quickly on the paper, folded the paper into a paper crane, blew gently, and the paper crane flapped its wings and flew away, disappearing into the mountains and forests.

Li Xiaozheng sighed: "That Tianting apostle thinks that your danger level has risen to a higher level, and the paper crane that flew away is to call other apostles. These days, there will be many such apostles around you. No matter what you do, you are under their surveillance!"

He shook his head. If Chen Shi was not useful to him, he would definitely not choose to cooperate with this troublemaker.

Tian Tingzhe has set his sights on Chen Shi, and he will be targeted as well!

But he didn't know that Chen Shi was also a loner. If he knew about this, he would never cooperate with Chen Shi even if he was beaten to death!
The three men and the dog continued to move forward, and saw a stone man standing on the riverbed. Behind the stone man's head, there was a petrified shrine, and inside the shrine was a divine fetus!
He was making a running gesture.

"Someone has triggered the stone ship!"

The three of them felt nervous. This person obviously couldn't outrun the speed at which the ghost and god realm of the stone ship expanded, and was petrified!

Chen Shi stopped, put down the book box, took out the Jia Ma Talisman, tied it to his legs, but felt it was not safe enough, so he tied two more magic talismans on.

He called Black Pot over and tied armor and horse symbols on all four of Black Pot's legs.

Li Tianqing also stopped and tied the talisman.

Li Xiaozheng did not rush them, and waited until they were ready before continuing forward. He was at a high level, and his cultivation was extremely powerful, so he did not need a horse armor talisman.

On the riverbed, stone men gradually appeared in groups of three or two, all running outwards, but they were caught up by the realm of ghosts and gods and could not escape.

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing also found some stone men with missing arms and legs, and they couldn't help but look up at the sky.

The stone men are strong, and even if they fall, their arms and legs will not be easily broken. The reason why these people are missing arms and legs, and even have broken necks, is because they fell from the air!

"Even a Yuanying realm expert couldn't escape the speed of the expansion of the ghost and god realm?"

Chen Shi frowned slightly.

Suddenly, Hei Guo's scream came from the front. Chen Shi hurried over and saw a dead body lying on the ground.

They had seen many stone statues on the riverbed, but this was the first time they had seen a body preserved in flesh and blood.

Chen Shi stopped and carefully examined the body. Li Tianqing also ran over. The two of them looked through the body while taking out paper and pen to record.

Li Xiaozheng urged, "Don't dawdle, you two. What's so good about a corpse? Let's go over there quickly. The masters of various clans are basically all here!"

Chen Shi said without even raising his head, "The other corpses are all stone statues, but he is the only one in the flesh. Isn't Lord Li curious?"

Li Xiaozheng was puzzled and said, "So many powerful families came to explore the stone ship in person, there must be conflicts. It is common for them to kill a few enemies on the river. Why is there any curiosity about this?"

Li Tianqing did not even look up. He joined hands with Chen Shi and the two of them took off the clothes of the corpse. He said, "Even if it is a corpse, it cannot escape the petrification of the stone boat. Many corpses in the river were also petrified, but this one was not. What does this mean?"

Li Xiaozheng was stunned and asked, "What does it mean?"

Chen Shi raised his head and looked at the stone ship in the distance. He saw the towering ship parked high up, facing the dry river, as if it was parked on a cliff, about 20 to 20 feet above the bottom of the river.

Li Tianqing didn't say anything and continued to search the body for things that could prove the person's identity.

Chen Shi said with a strange expression: "This means that this corpse is from the True King era, at least six thousand years ago. Tianqing..."

His expression became more and more strange, and he said quickly: "This man fell off the boat and drowned in this dry river!"

Li Tianqing took out an old token from his pocket, his eyes lit up, and he smiled, "I have seen this kind of token in the Li family's books. It is the token of the real king's navy! He is a sailor on the ship!"

The two looked at each other, and their eyes became extremely bright.

"Why would a treasure ship sailor from more than 6,000 years ago appear on this dry riverbed?" Chen Shi's eyes widened.

Li Tianqing's eyes also rounded: "Why did he drown on the riverbed? Why is his body still in the flesh and not petrified?"

Black Pot moved between the two of them and said solemnly, “Woof woof, woof woof woof!”

"Black Pot is right!"

The two said in unison, "The stone ship sealed a period of time and space, and also sealed the sailors and Dejiang on the ship!"

Li Xiaozheng hesitated. What did the dog say?
Chen Shi slapped his fist hard and said quickly: "Hei Guo is right! Entering the stone ship will definitely not unlock the ghost and god realm of the stone ship! Only by activating the ghost and god realm and allowing Dejiang to reappear can the ghost and god realm be unlocked!"

Li Tianqing said excitedly: "Yes! If we don't activate the ghost and god realm, no matter how many people die, it won't work!"

Black Pot wagged his tail: "Woof woof!"

"Well said Black Pot!" they both praised at the same time.

Li Xiaozheng looked at the two men and the dog, hesitated, and felt that he, as the governor of Xinxiang, was somewhat redundant.

Even without him, a great master at the level of divine descent, these two boys would probably be able to unlock the ghost and god realm of the stone ship. His role would probably be even less than that of the big black dog next to them.
