Chapter 163 Second Choice

"What is hidden in my sea of ​​consciousness? I have hidden something in my sea of ​​consciousness, how could I not know about it? What is the sea of ​​consciousness?"

Chen Shi was surprised that the old monk's hair had disappeared without a trace. He only felt his forehead was swollen, as if something was about to come out.

Could this be the sea of ​​consciousness?

After a while, this strange feeling gradually disappeared.

Zen Master Kuzhu came to take over his body, entered his sea of ​​consciousness, and then ran out in a miserable state, as if he had been beaten, and fled in panic. This made him feel that there might be something strange in his sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, Yu Tiancheng groaned, unable to control the evil in his body. His flesh and blood grew, and he involuntarily turned into a chubby and strong rabbit man!
Previously, bitter bamboo had suppressed the evil spirit, but now that bitter bamboo has escaped, the evil spirit in his body can no longer be suppressed and has turned into evil spirit again.

He was in a daze, unable to control his evil nature. He roared and punched Chen Shi, about to beat him into a meat pie, when suddenly Chen Shi shouted, "Master Yu!"

Yu Tiancheng was awakened by the shout and regained a bit of sanity. He quickly retracted his fists, looked at his hands with some horror, yelled, turned around and tried to escape.

Chen Shi shouted, "If you leave, no one will protect Goddess Hongshan. She will be eaten soon, and Hongshan Hall will fall apart, and all the talisman masters will die!"

Yu Tiancheng stopped and said in a shrill, stumbling voice: "I am ugly, evil, and dangerous..."

He had difficulty controlling his tongue and spoke very slowly.

"It's ok."

Chen Shi could understand what he meant and said with a smile, "Now that you have changed into this form, no one can recognize you as Yu Tiancheng. Don't worry, I have a way to control your evil nature. Just stay with me and I will take you back."

Upon hearing this, the majestic rabbit followed him closely. From time to time, his evil nature would flare up and he would reach out to pinch Chen Shi's neck, but he still forced himself to endure it.

Chen Shi walked in front and said to himself, "Strange, if Kuzhu really turned into a demon, how did he preserve his self-awareness? If he turned into a demon, he would become a demon seed and turn into a demon after a hundred days. There is no need for him to take over my body. If he took over my body, he would need to practice again. How could it be as comfortable as turning into a demon? Master Yu, am I right?"

The majestic rabbit could hardly control his evil nature, and his hands had already reached the back of his neck. Upon hearing this, he immediately came to his senses and quickly withdrew his hands.

Chen Shi seemed unaware and continued to talk to himself, "The transformation of the Kuzhu Demon should be due to the moonlight shining on him, and he could not control his demonic nature, so he turned the area within a hundred miles into a demonic domain, and sacrificed all the people within a hundred miles to complete the path of the demon, which served as nutrients to nourish the demon seeds and promote the growth of the demon seeds into demons. He was irrational at this time, so how could he try to take over my body? There was no need for him to take over my body... Master Yu!"

Behind him, the majestic rabbit had a ferocious face and opened its mouth wide, ready to bite off his head. However, upon hearing the three words "Master Yu Tang", it came to its senses and quickly closed its mouth.

Chen Shi stopped and speculated, "Do you think it is possible that Master Kuzhu has not transformed into a demon?"

The majestic rabbit drooled, his eyes bloodshot, and looked down at him, stammering, "Mushroom, mushroom!"

It stretched out its big hand and touched Chen Shi's head, as if it was a mushroom.

Chen Shi was stunned and asked, "You mean, it wasn't him who turned into a demon, but someone else?"

The strong rabbit originally planned to twist off Chen Shi’s head just like twisting off a mushroom head, but when he heard this, he was stunned.

That's not what he meant.

"Your words make a lot of sense!"

Chen Shi nodded heavily and said, "Everyone thinks that the bitter bamboo has transformed into a demon, but what if the demon is not the bitter bamboo, but a demon suppressed by the bitter bamboo? Master Yu, you are so smart!"

The majestic rabbit gradually lost himself in the praise and chuckled, "Me, smart?"

"Yes, you are so smart!"

Chen Shi was in high spirits and laughed, "If I were Kuzhu, the enlightened monk of Dabaoguo Temple, I would realize that my body was old and my life span was exhausted. I don't want to die, and I have a way to survive in this world, so would I use it? I would use it, and so would Kuzhu. If Kuzhu didn't care about life and death, then when his life span was up, he would have gone to the underworld with the underworld messenger. But he used his golden body to seal off his vitality, and the Buddha's light deceived the underworld messenger, and he lived to be over 130 years old. This shows that Kuzhu would try every possible means to survive!"

He quickened his pace in excitement, thinking, and said, "At this time, he found it increasingly difficult to evade the Yincha's search. He has a way to reincarnate, which is to choose a new body to possess. Master Yu, how do you think he can choose the best body for his next life?"

The majestic rabbit said in a daze: "Scholar..."

"Yes! The imperial examination! It's the autumn examination!"

Chen Shi's eyes sparkled, and he admired Yu Tiancheng even more. He praised, "Master Yu, you still have such amazing insight after you turned evil. I dare not imagine how intelligent you will be when you return to normal!"

He gave a thumbs up and said, "So you are the hall master, and I can only be the instructor. I am far inferior to you!"

The majestic rabbit's ears turned red from the embarrassment.

What did it say?
It doesn't understand itself.

Chen Shi continued, "The examination for scholars is the place where the best bodies are selected. Especially in Gongzhou Province. The original target of Kuzhu Zen Master was Xinxiang Province, but the governor of Xinxiang Province and a group of senior officials followed the True King on the Ming treasure ship to China. The court changed its mind temporarily and let the scholars of Xinxiang Province go to Gongzhou Province to participate in the autumn examination. Why did Xinxiang Province become Kuzhu's target?"

The majestic rabbit was controlled by evil again. He drooled, stroked Chen Shi's head, and smiled foolishly: "You..."

"Correct!"

Chen Shi straightened his chest and said with a smile, "It's me! Kuzhu's goal from the beginning was me, the top scholar in the fifty provinces!"

The majestic rabbit was startled by him and quickly withdrew his hand.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Of course, besides me, he has a second target, and that is the equally outstanding Li Tianqing! Master Yu, do you know why?"

He called out "Master of Jade Hall" and brought some of the majestic rabbit back to its senses.

"This question is so simple that you don't even bother to answer it."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Because Li Tianqing got the first-grade divine fetus, the purple jade divine fetus! The purple jade divine fetus is also rare in the world. It is amazing to have one or two in a year! When Zen Master Kuzhu heard that a first-grade divine fetus appeared in Xinxiang County, he rushed over and found that Shen Yusheng had been harvested by the Li family. He should be a little disappointed, but what made him happy was that there was another Li Tianqing in Xinxiang, who was also a first-grade divine fetus! However, Li Tianqing is still a little bit worse than me, so he ranks second."

The majestic rabbit lost interest in him. Such a narcissistic "mushroom" might not taste delicious.

Chen Shi said, "What I said is not groundless. The original target of Kuzhu Zen Master and his apprentice was Li Tianqing, so they came to Gongzhou with him on the same ship. Unexpectedly, after boarding the ship, they found out that the boat girl and boatman were ghosts, so they did not dare to do anything. After arriving in Gongzhou, Li Tianqing went to register with the school official and came to the Chengdong Posthouse. They also went there to register and rest at the Chengdong Posthouse. This is too much of a coincidence!"

"What's even more coincidental is that I was also resting at the post house that night!"

Chen Shi exhaled a breath of foul air and said, "Two such outstanding young men actually got together, so Master Kuzhu died that night! His death was very sudden, but it was all planned by him."

They arrived outside the main altar of Hongshan Hall. Many talisman masters had already gathered in the hall, staring blankly at Chen Shi walking in with a big hairless rabbit.

The rabbit was more than two meters tall, extremely strong, with muscles all over its body, bloodshot eyes, long and sharp fangs, and an evil aura.

This kind of evil spirit made the talisman masters nervous. Yellow talismans slipped out of their sleeves silently, ready to kill the evil spirit at any time.

Hongshan Hall is a gathering place for talisman masters who perform exorcism. This evil spirit actually dared to come to the door. It must be like an old man who is tired of living!
The majestic rabbit sensed the hostility and became increasingly nervous.

"Don't worry, no one will recognize you." Chen Shi whispered to comfort her.

"Master, you're back!" The crane boy flapped his wings and flew over, shouting happily.

……

There was complete silence inside and outside Hongshan Hall.

Li Tianqing came out after hearing the news and saw the majestic rabbit. He was surprised and said, "Xiao Shi, have you found Master Yutang? Is he still evil?"

...Everyone in Hongshan Hall, whether it was the talisman masters, the instructors, or the incense masters, all looked in the same direction at this moment. They saw the majestic rabbit with its back to them. Its thick and broad back looked extremely reliable. Chen Shi was sitting beside it, whispering to it.

"We haven't finished talking just now. I'll tell you all my guesses and you can see if they are correct."

Chen Shi's eyes flickered, and he said, "Kuzhu faked his death, making everyone think that the demon that transformed was his corpse. In fact, it was a demon that he suppressed that was secretly released. The golden body of the Bodhisattva enshrined in the Dabaoguo Temple suppressed many demons. With Kuzhu's status, it should not be difficult to catch a demon. When the demon transformation is completed, everyone here will die, and only he will be left."

The majestic rabbit held his chin with both hands, his blood-red eyes kept turning, and he would glance at Chen Shi from time to time with a fierce look in his eyes.

This kid clearly said that no one could recognize him, but now everyone recognizes him!
If I punch him, he will definitely be smashed into a bloody mess!
Chen Shi continued, "At that time, what is the truth? Isn't it up to him to tell it? Kuzhu's reputation can be preserved, and he can live another life. As for the demon, maybe he died in the encirclement of others, or maybe he died under the gaze of the True God from outer space. What does it have to do with him? Even..."

He smiled slightly and said, "Maybe after he takes over the body, he can kill the demons and win a good reputation!"

The majestic rabbit clenched his fists, gnashed his teeth, and said, "Kill..."

It wanted to say kill you, but it could only utter two words at most and stammered and couldn't continue.

Chen Shi crossed his hands behind his head, lay on his back, and said slowly: "I really want to kill him. Killing him can verify my guess."

His eyes flickered and he said with a smile: "But before that, I will help you refine your evil nature first!"

The majestic rabbit was about to punch him to death, but stopped immediately upon hearing this.

Chen Shi sat up and said with a smile: "You sacrifice your soul."

The majestic rabbit offered sacrifice to his own spirit, which was also a rabbit. Suddenly, a light flashed in the small temple, and the rabbit was taken into the temple.

Chen Shi activated his skills, and the positive energy flowed, gradually refining the evil nature in Yu Tiancheng's soul.

Yu Tiancheng's soul sat on the shrine, feeling that the evil spirit in himself was becoming less and less, and his mind and mentality were gradually returning to normal.

"Thank you, scholar." He whispered.

Chen Shi said: "You stay in my shrine for a few more days, and I will eliminate the evil in you. As for the evil in your body, I can do nothing about it."

Yu Tiancheng expressed his gratitude again.

Chen Shi immediately stood up, took out a knife, and walked towards the black pot.

"Good brother, lend me some blood!"

He rushed forward and there was immediate chaos.

The bitter bamboo human-head mushroom returned to the Daxing Zen Temple and fell down under the mushroom-headed golden Buddha. He coughed up golden blood several times and his face looked gloomy.

"Too strong, too strong!"

"Who would have thought that there are so many evil demons hidden in his sea of ​​consciousness!"

The human-headed mushroom stood up with a gloomy look on his face.

He still couldn't forget the scene he had just seen, where evil demons were hiding in the darkness and almost tore him to pieces!
He even saw a passage, a road leading to the underworld!
At the end of the road is an extremely majestic ghost from the underworld!

And at the intersection of the Yin and Yang worlds, there is a demon-like figure guarding there!

"This person has no affinity with my Buddha!"

The human-head mushroom spat out a mouthful of dust. If he didn't have some tricks up his sleeve, he would have been unable to escape.

"Master..."

Monk Wu Chen's voice came from the darkness, a little timidly.

This time, Zen Master Kuzhu failed to take over the body and was injured. Doesn't that mean that his next target will be me?

Monk Wu Chen shrank into a dark corner.

The human-headed mushroom held the head of Master Kuzhu and said with a smile, "My good disciple, you are still a little short, just a little short. Back then, I was the best scholar in the world, and I was the best in skills. I obtained the purple jade divine fetus among the first-grade divine fetuses. After getting something better, I always don't want something that is slightly inferior."

He leaped up and landed on the umbrella cover of the golden Buddha, looking down at the mountain of flesh and blood in Gongzhou City.

"I have another option."

In the devil's realm, there is no distinction between day and night, only golden light rushing into the sky, illuminating the dust like colorful clouds.

The sunset glow makes Gongzhou City colorful and brilliant.

Unknowingly, five days had passed since the demonic transformation. Inside the Hongshan Hall, everyone was busy. Some were practicing drawing the Purifying Talisman, some were drawing talismans, and were preparing to go to the Minjiang River to hunt big fish. Master Lu Xiang led a group of talisman masters outside.

The city is now extremely dangerous, with giants with mushroom heads everywhere. Master Lu Xiang takes his people out to search for the missing Hongshan Hall Talisman Master.

There are only more than fifty talisman masters in Hongshan Hall, less than half of the total number of people. I think they either died outside or were trapped outside.

Xiao Xiangzhu took a few people and prepared to go to Minjiang River. Chen Shi had nothing to do and was squatting beside the dog, catching fleas for the dog. Li Tianqing was sitting by the window reading a book. He Tongzi was enjoying the incense. Hongshan Niangniang climbed onto the head of the majestic rabbit and tried to lift the rabbit's ears.

The rabbit's ears trembled to prevent her from grabbing.

Everything is perfectly normal.

At this moment, the aroma of the incense suddenly stopped, and the shaking rabbit ears also stopped.

The majestic rabbit was shrinking rapidly. Goddess Hongshan hurriedly grabbed the rabbit's ears to prevent it from falling off, but she found that the majestic rabbit had turned into Yu Tiancheng, and she was lying on Yu Tiancheng's head, holding his ears tightly.

Master Xiao Xiang raised her foot to go out, but her foot was hanging on the threshold. It looked like she couldn't step over it and was about to fall.

Master Lu Xiang was outside the door, leaning sideways and looking back, with a gloating look on his face.

Everyone froze there, unable to move.

I saw a human head mushroom with the image of Master Kuzhu walking towards this side. It jumped over the threshold and came straight to Li Tianqing who was reading in front of the window.

"The second choice is also good!"

The human head drilled into Li Tianqing's forehead with a whoosh sound. At this time, everyone was able to move again. Yu Tiancheng turned into a majestic rabbit again, with ears getting longer and longer. Xiao Xiangzhu tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.

Li Tianqing's face was distorted and changed, the transformation talisman was broken, and he turned into Chen Shi's appearance.

At the same time, "Chen Shi", who was catching fleas for Hei Guo, rushed over like an arrow, and the sealing talismans in his hands began to emit dazzling divine light. A thick stack of sealing talismans were all covered on the center of Chen Shi's eyebrows!

Chen Shi slammed the table and stood up.

"Master, I'll send you on your way!"
