Chapter 156 The Secret of the Black Pot

Chapter 156 The Secret of the Black Pot

At this time, Gu Yunshu's room was crowded with people, all of them were the coaches and incense masters of Hongshan Hall. When they heard that Chen Shi helped Gu Yunshu open the Heavenly Gate, they all came to watch.

Gu Yunshu was paralyzed when he opened the Tianmen Gate. He had been lying in bed for more than 20 years, and needed someone to take care of him when he ate, drank, defecated and urinated. If it were anyone else, he would have been thrown into the wild to fend for himself, but Master Yutang was nostalgic and kept him alive.

No one thought that the paralytic Gu would wake up one day!
Not only did the paralytic Gu wake up, but he also opened the Heavenly Gate, his golden elixir left his body, and his cultivation greatly improved!
Pairs of eyes fell on Chen Shi, eager, grateful, and excited.

More of it is unbelievable.

There are not many talisman masters in Hongshan Hall, less than two hundred. They are often poor scholars or failed candidates. They have unhappy lives and cannot afford to marry or raise children. It is only when they come to Hongshan Hall that they have a chance to show their skills.

Hongshan Hall has passed on to them the best skills they could find, and the talisman masters have also shared their own cultivation experiences, but many people in the Jindan realm will still die when opening the sky gate and leaving the body, and many will be killed by thunder.

They just thought it was bad luck, or that they had done something wrong in their previous life and were being punished in this life. Some people tried every means to practice various skills, but were unable to break through. More people were stuck in the Jindan realm and dared not make a breakthrough.

They never thought that they had practiced incorrectly from the beginning and had taken the wrong path.

And the right path is so simple and clear!
The Kaitian Gate that would take several years to build can now be completed in a few days or even half an hour!
In this way, Hongshan Hall will definitely have many more masters!

"The scholar coach has done a great deed." A coach murmured.

Xiangzhu Lu was a little eager and asked, "Can the Yuanying also open the Heavenly Gate in this way?"

He wanted to squeeze into the room to ask Chen Shi, but he was afraid of disturbing the paralyzed Gu who had just woken up, so he hesitated.

In Gu Tanzi's room, Yu Tiancheng was crying and laughing, acting crazy, and something was not right. He originally practiced the technique of Goddess Hongshan, and absorbed too much moonlight, which made him a bit evil.

At this moment, there is a tendency to become demonized!

No wonder.

The purpose of Yutian City establishing Hongshan Hall is to support more children from poor families to become talisman masters, to protect the peace of the area, to pass on the knowledge that was monopolized by the aristocratic families, to let these poor people have a way to make a living, and to practice to a higher level and gain higher achievements.

He has worked hard at Hongshan Hall for more than 20 years and achieved remarkable results.

There are many masters in Hongshan Hall who have achieved the Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul stages, and this is something that cultivators from poor families cannot even imagine.

But Chen Shi explained in just a few simple sentences the cultivation methods of opening the Heavenly Gate, leaving the body and practicing the other-body method. It was clear and concise. The practice was extremely simple and there was no need for so many people to die. Only then did he collapse.

Over the past twenty years, too many Hongshan Hall talisman masters have died due to practicing incorrect methods!

Too many people are stuck in the Jindan and Yuanying realms and dare not move to the next realm!
If we had known it was so simple, why would so many people have died?

Why practice the "Red Blood Incarnation Method"?
Why did it take so long?
Seeing the evil aura gradually emanating from all around him and twisted flesh and blood growing behind him, Chen Shi was startled and pointed his finger quickly. The blood and energy at the tip of his finger turned into the structure of a meditation talisman in the air and was immediately activated.

He had just activated the Calming Talisman when he suddenly heard a roar in his ears: "The Hall Master is sick again!"

There was a bright light in Gu Tanzi's room. Dozens of meditation talismans flew in from outside. They all burst out with power and suppressed the evil spirit in Yutian City.

Apparently, this isn't the first time they've done this!

Yutian City must have been transformed into evil many times, so everyone is so skilled.

Yu Tiancheng gradually regained consciousness, his evil spirit subsided, and the twisted flesh and blood behind him gradually disappeared. He said quickly, "Thank you all for your help. It's not a big problem now."

He said to Gu Tanzi, "Brother Gu, you have just recovered. First, get familiar with your body and walk around the hall. I will go see the empress."

The paralyzed old man nodded slightly.

Yu Tiancheng left in a hurry.

Chen Shi looked towards Yu Tiancheng, and was surprised: "Master Yu's condition seems to be a little off. Those calming talismans just now failed to completely suppress his evil nature."

However, with the presence of Goddess Hongshan, I think the evil tendencies in Yutian City can be contained.

Everyone rushed up and asked Chen Shi how to lock the Sky Gate. Seeing this, Chen Shi simply told them the trick here.

After a while, everyone dispersed.

The paralytic struggled hard and tried to get out of bed.

After he got familiar with his body, he staggered to the front yard, and saw Chen Shi, who had saved him, also staggering. The two smiled at each other, and Gu Tanzi knelt down and was about to pay his respects, but Chen Shi hurriedly supported him.

Both of them had some physical problems. Chen Shi's injuries had not yet healed, and his qi and blood were a little deficient. Gu Tanzi had been lying in bed for more than 20 years and was as thin as a firewood stick covered with a layer of skin.

The two sat down, and Chen Shi kept looking towards the backyard. Suddenly he asked, "Master Gu Xiang, what will happen if the hall master turns evil?"

Gu Tanzi shook his head and said, "I don't know. I have been lying in bed for more than 20 years. I only heard that Tiancheng would become evil from time to time, and the people in the hall would shout that the hall master had turned into an evil spirit, but I have never seen what Tiancheng has become. With the Empress here all these years, there has never been any trouble."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "He went to see Goddess Hongshan and hasn't come out yet. He must be asking Goddess Hongshan to suppress his evil. Do you want to go and see?"

Gu Tanzi shook his head and said, "I don't want to. By the way, I haven't asked for the name of the benefactor yet."

"My name is Chen Shi."

Chen Shi helped him stretch his muscles and unclog his blood vessels. After a while, the paralyzed old man said, "Look at my memory. I haven't asked for your name yet."

"Chen Shi."

……

"Look at my memory. I haven't asked you yet..."

"Just call me scholar."

Chen Shi left him and walked to Hei Guo with a dark face. He grabbed the dog's ears and said, "Hei Guo, stop playing! You don't have to affect them in Hongshan Hall... Wait, what's my name?"

He was horrified, and quickly grabbed Black Pot's neck and shook him back and forth, shouting, "Black Pot, give me back my name!"

The black pot is also very anxious.

It only awakened this ability in a critical moment, but it didn't know how to use it, how to stop it, or how to eliminate it.

It was nervous just now, and Chen Shi's memory was also affected.

When Gu Tanzi saw Chen Shi walking around the yard with his crutches chasing the black dog, he couldn't help but shake his head and thought, "Scholar still has the temper of a child. Strange, why is there someone called Scholar?"

Chen Shi fought with the black dog, sometimes he pushed the dog down and strangled the dog's neck, sometimes he was pushed to the ground and strangled by the dog. After fighting for a long time, Chen Shi still couldn't remember his name. He held the letter sent by Li Tianqing and stared at the word "Chen Shi".

These two words are obviously very familiar, but I just don’t recognize them.

Yu Tiancheng went to the backyard and stayed there for two days and never came out. Many coaches in Hongshan Hall were practicing opening the Heavenly Gate. Several of them had already opened the Heavenly Gate and their golden elixirs left their bodies. There was excitement in Hongshan Hall.

Master Lu Xiang came to Chen Shi and asked for advice: "Scholar, can this method be used to achieve the Nascent Soul Out of the Body?"

Chen Shi said: "The Nascent Soul Out-of-Body also uses this method, but it takes longer to practice. You need to practice to the point where the fontanelle on the top of your head is boneless before you can leave your body. However, there are many dangers in the Nascent Soul Out-of-Body. If someone gets close to you and hits you on the head, it is often easy to damage your brain."

Master Lu Xiang smiled and said, "If you can cultivate to the state of Yuanying leaving the body, what's the harm in having this weakness?"

Several more talisman masters came to visit Chen Shi and asked for advice on how to cultivate the golden elixir. Chen Shi patiently taught them all the tricks of cultivating the golden elixir that he knew.

He discovered that these talisman masters did not know how to perform the Seven Returns, Eight Transformations, and Nine Returns, and they just instinctively used the golden elixir to temper and nourish their bodies, so he taught them the Seven Returns, Eight Transformations, and Nine Returns.

After a few days, two people in Hongshan Hall actually surpassed the Jindan realm and cultivated to the Yuanying realm, officially becoming masters of the Yuanying realm!
And there are more than ten people in the hall who have made great progress in their cultivation!

Chen Shi's injuries also healed, the scabs fell off, revealing new skin.

Chen Shi was extremely happy, and he activated the Big Dipper's Seven Refining Techniques in the yard to refine his skin, gradually making the skin color of his scars consistent with that of normal skin.

He practiced for a while, returned to his room, and meditated to open the Heavenly Gate.

After half an hour, Chen Shi also opened the Heavenly Gate, and the golden elixir slowly rose from the Dantian, passed through the throat, went from the tongue to the palate, entered the nasal cavity, and entered the brain from the nasal cavity.

The golden elixir moved along the center line, finally arrived at the Heavenly Gate, and jumped out of the Heavenly Gate!

Chen Shi's eyes seemed half closed and half open, with only a ray of light in front of his eyes. However, as the golden elixir jumped out, it became like his eyes, hanging above his head. Looking down, he could see the fontanelle on the top of his head beating.

He cultivated to the fourth level of the golden elixir, which was black in color and emitted black light.

Chen Shi's mind moved slightly, and the golden elixir passed through the wall and came outside. He saw that it was already dark outside and the moon was rising.

He was shocked. The golden elixir shining on the moon would be affected by the moonlight and invaded by evil spirits.

He quickly controlled the golden elixir to avoid the moonlight and flew away silently.

He used the golden elixir as his vision, and the scenes he saw around him were different from what he saw with the naked eye, which was quite interesting.

Soon, Jindan came to the wooden cart and saw that the cart was sleeping soundly, but the dog was not by the cart.

Chen Shi was surprised: "Where did the blame go?"

He controlled the golden elixir to fly all the way, searching everywhere, and finally found the black pot on the stove.

This is the kitchen of Hongshan Hall. The cook has already gone to rest. An oil lamp is lit on the stove and a flame is burning under the stove.

Hei Guo sat in front of the stove, adding firewood to the bottom of the pot with one paw, and holding a book with the other paw, reading in the light of the oil lamp.

It frowned, and no one knew what it was thinking about.

"Hei Guo can actually read?"

Chen Shi was very surprised, because he had never seen Hei Guo read a book before!
He used the golden elixir to observe and saw Hei Guo put down the book, grabbed a handful of salt from the bowl beside him and sprinkled it into the fire.

The flame under the stove suddenly turned green.

Black Pot's head dived into the fire and struggled to crawl under the stove. In the blink of an eye, he was inside the stove and disappeared.

The stove couldn't accommodate a big dog, but the black pot still fit in there.

Chen Shi's black golden elixir flew to the stove and looked inside. He saw that the stove was full of green flames. In the green flames, a black dog that was countless times smaller was running wildly in the fire. The scene around him did not look like the human world!
The fire seemed like another world. Many huge demons appeared and ambushed the black dog. The black dog pounced left and right, killing several demons. It ran all the way to a palace and then went in.

At this time, the green fire gradually changed color and the flame turned to normal color.

Chen Shi was about to grab another handful of salt and throw it into the fire when he remembered that he was a golden elixir and had no palms.

In the fire, Black Pot rushed out from the palace, and seemed to have expected the flames to change, so it galloped all the way towards this side!
Chen Shi was getting anxious and was thinking about throwing salt into the fire, but he saw the bowl of salt fly up automatically.

He was slightly startled: "The energy and blood in the golden elixir are under my control and can control objects!"

He mobilized his qi and blood and poured the salt in the bowl into the fire.

The flame in the stove suddenly turned green again.

Seeing this, Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief and controlled the golden elixir to fly out of the kitchen.

Before he left, he secretly glanced at the book on the table. The words on the book were like ghost paintings. When his eyes fell on them, he saw the words crawling around like earthworms.

"Ghost book?"

Chen Shi was stunned. He had heard from his grandfather that this kind of writing was the language used by ghosts and gods in the underworld. Normal people could not understand it at all. Only those who had learned ghost language could recognize it.

"Where did Hei Guo get the ghost book? How does it understand the ghost book?" He was very confused.

Hei Guo looked forward, but saw that the door to the world of the living was becoming more and more blurry. He couldn't help but become anxious. It seemed that he would not be able to go back, but suddenly the door to the world of the living became clear again, and he was stunned.

"call--"

The dog jumped out from under the stove with sparks from the bottom of the pot, and the evil flames around him slowly went out.

It immediately looked around and found no signs of anyone having been there. It was puzzled, but then it saw a bowl of salt placed aside, but the bowl was empty and there was no salt.

Hei Guo did not try to find out who saved him. Instead, he spat out a ghost book and continued to study hard under the lamp.

Chen Shi's Jindan observed from the window for a moment, and saw from afar that the words on the ghost book were also crawling around, like ghost drawings. He couldn't understand it, so he had to quietly hide.

"Hei Guo is working so hard, he must be looking for a way to control his own abilities."

Chen Shi was even more curious. "But how did the black pot know to go through the stove to another world? How did it know that there was a palace there and there were books in the palace? Who told it? Wait a minute, did grandpa pick up the black pot near that palace?"
