Chapter 166 Repaying the favor
Fei Tianzheng left.

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing looked at Cao Yunshen's body on the ground without saying a word.

Fei Tianzheng's kick just now had cracked Cao Yunshen's head, and his brains were all over the floor.

Cao Yunshen stared at the ground, but he was no longer breathing.

This man was considered a hero in Gongzhou City. He was originally a scholar from the countryside. Later, he passed the imperial examination and entered the city. He had a reputation, but he waited for six or seven years without being appointed by the court. That year, there was a heavy rain, which damaged many fishing boats and killed many people. Cao Yunshen invited the Minjiang Grandma to establish the Cao Lao Association.

The Cao Lao Hui grew stronger under his leadership and was able to compete with the Yan Lao Hui, Tian Mu Hui and Hong Shan Tang. Cao Yunshen was versatile and good at dancing with the long sleeves, and he moved among the thirteen aristocratic families like a fish in water.

But those were peaceful times.

Now that the devil has transformed and order has collapsed, even if he is good at dancing, he cannot survive.

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing continued to walk outside carrying the big fish. Suddenly, a loud noise came from the main hall of Cao Lao Hui. Chen Shi looked back and saw a roaring water rushing up into the air. In the water was a black carp whose head had turned into a dragon.

On the head of the black carp, there was an old woman with a turban on her head sitting. She was leaning on a cane that was much taller than herself, and she was controlling the flood and rushing towards the Minjiang River!
That is Minjiang Grandma.

The original body is a black carp. Because it has lived for too long and has spirituality, it is revered as the grandma by the fishermen on the riverside.

Cao Yunshen was born in the countryside, so he brought the customs of the village to the city and asked those who joined the society to worship Minjiang Grandma as their godmother.

Grandma Minjiang was originally beaten by Chuan Gu and his daughter, and she knew that this was a life-and-death situation, so she tried to escape back to Minjiang.

Fei Tianzheng, Xia Chuli and other senior officials ignored her and let her escape into the river. Everyone continued to sit down and enjoy the delicious food, while many retainers and subordinates went to chase after Minjiang Grandma.

It's just a trivial matter, there's no need for them to take action.

The main reason why Cao Yunshen was beaten to death just now was that Cao Yunshen was a dog supported by Fei Tianzheng. If the dog is disobedient, the owner will naturally beat it to death.

Otherwise, Fei Tianzheng wouldn't even have the interest to kill Cao Yunshen.

As for Grandma Minjiang's escape, just leave it to your subordinates to handle.

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing carried the big fish out of the Cao Lao Hui headquarters, and walked down along the Minjiang River in silence all the way.

After a while, Li Tianqing broke the silence and said, "In the Demon Realm, the demonic transformation is still continuing, and many people are affected by the demons. Even if these senior officials have cultivated their primordial spirits and reached the realms of God Descent and Refining Void, they are still inevitably affected by the demonic transformation and develop hostility."

"Tianqing, why do you have to flatter them?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "You and I are both in the Demon Realm, so why don't we have demonic nature in our hearts?"

Li Tianqing sighed and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Shi, this is the last layer of face on our family's face, why do you have to peel it off?"

At this time, the river water rose sharply. The old woman stood on the black carp's head and waved her cane, stirring up waves of river water. The water was surging and roaring, and rushed towards the masters brought by the major families.

Suddenly, hundreds of water-fixing talismans flew out, and the raging flood was actually fixed in mid-air!

The river water was also stagnant and no longer flowed.

Hundreds of soldiers rushed over at high speed, landed on the surface of the river, and rushed forward on the surface of the river.

Underwater, because of the water-fixing talisman, Minjiang Lao Lao had a hard time swimming and was caught up by the soldiers. Chen Shi had seen the leader before. He was Xia Luoying, the son of General Xia, who served as a lieutenant general in the border army.

This person has a very high level of cultivation. He once stood in the air with great magical powers, which was extremely eye-catching.

He commanded these soldiers to encircle and suppress the Minjiang Grandma.

"It's the border troops!"

Li Tianqing looked around and whispered, "Gongzhou is close to the sea. In order to guard against the landing of sea monsters, six guard posts were built and many border troops were raised."

Chen Shi knew nothing about the border troops, but he had heard that a scholar from his hometown failed the imperial examination and joined the border troops to guard a garrison. Although the monthly salary was not small, the county government would often send runners to give the scholar's family three taels of silver every few months.

All the wives who received the three taels of silver cried bitterly. Chen Shi originally envied them for being able to get the three taels of silver, but later he found out that their husbands had died in battle in the garrison, and the three taels of silver were for compensation.

These border troops were extremely brave. As they galloped along the river, they used various spells to attack the Minjiang River giant who was swimming hard beneath the surface of the river.

More than a dozen border soldiers urged their spears and jumped high into the air. Dazzling talisman patterns burst out from the surface of the spears, and they plunged into the river with a whooshing sound!
Blood suddenly gushed out from the river.

Those spears were tied with chains, and the spears, with the chains, dragged the dozen or so border soldiers across the river.

Suddenly, many border troops rushed to the river, lit fist-sized bullets filled with gunpowder, and threw them into the water. Suddenly, bursts of thunder were heard from the bottom of the water.

Many border troops also wielded heavy weapons such as sledgehammers and axes, with various talisman patterns on their surfaces, and smashed them into the water.

There were dozens of border soldiers on the shore, lighting up their three-barreled muskets and bird guns and shooting at the Minjiang River swimming in the river.

Grandma Minjiang was extremely popular and her magic power was unfathomable, even more powerful than that of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage. However, she was no match for the hundreds of border troops and was beaten all over.

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing were secretly shocked. The way the army fought was completely different from the fighting between monks.

When the border troops use various weapons, muskets, and talismans in large numbers, even if one's cultivation level far exceeds theirs, he will be killed by them!
"Monk, how can we break the army's attack?"

Such a thought suddenly popped up in Chen Shi's mind, and he couldn't help but think of the situation when Xiao Wangsun faced the artillery bombardment of the Shenji Camp.

Xiao Wangsun Lian wielded two flying swords. The long sword protected his body to meet the incoming artillery fire, and the short sword flew out to kill the enemies.

So, if it were me, how would I face the attack of the army?
Chen Shi thought about it carefully, but was at a loss as to what to do!
The two men continued to carry the big fish towards Hongshan Hall, away from the Minjiang River. The shouts and cries of killing coming from the Minjiang River gradually faded away.

Suddenly, Chen Shi stopped and said with a smile: "Tianqing, take this big fish back to Hongshan Hall first."

Li Tianqing was startled, and understood his intention, and immediately said: "Wait a moment, I will come to pick you up!"

"Need not!"

Chen Shi put down the big fish and said with a smile, "I'm just showing off my trick and coming back. I won't take any risks. Black Pot, you go back with Tian Qing and keep him safe."

Black Pot yelled.

Li Tianqing picked up the big fish, raised it above his head, and immediately rushed to the main hall of Hongshan Hall.

Chen Shi came to a house on the street, entered the kitchen, and grabbed a porcelain bowl.

He held up the porcelain bowl in one hand, with the bottom facing up, and with the other hand made sword gestures, he walked towards the river, muttering to himself.

A strange talisman pattern gradually emerged at the bottom of the bowl, with a fish in the middle and the dragon patterns and names of the four dragon kings of the southeast, northwest, northeast and south respectively.

This talisman is called the Fish Attracting Talisman and is a talisman often asked for by anglers.

When Chen Shi followed his grandfather to sell talismans, some fishermen who often failed to catch fish would eagerly beg his grandfather to draw a few talismans to attract fish for them.

This kind of talisman is not very useful, but it sells very well.

Chen Shi pointed and drew with his fingertips under the bowl, drawing Taotie patterns around the bowl, forming the structure of a Taotie swallowing the sky talisman.

By the time he finished drawing the talisman, he had already arrived at the bank of the Minjiang River.

In the distance, Xia Luoying led the border troops to besiege the Minjiang River. The surface of the river had been dyed blood red, but because of the water-fixing talisman, the river water was still, and the water on Chen Shi's side was still clear.

He carried the porcelain bowl to the riverside, squatted down, supported the bottom of the bowl with his hands, and slowly sank the bowl into the river.

Chen Shi silently chanted the fish-attracting spell. After a while, he suddenly heard a cry from afar: "The black carp is gone!"

"Search quickly!"

"She was badly injured and couldn't escape!"

A small black fish swam into Chen Shi's bowl. Chen Shi picked up the bowl, walked up the river bank, and headed towards Hongshan Hall. The river was in chaos, and the border soldiers searched everywhere, but they could not find the whereabouts of Minjiang Grandma.

Chen Shi held the bowl carefully. Several border soldiers rushed past him. One of them stopped and looked at Chen Shi's bowl. There was only clear water in the bowl and a black fish printed on the bottom of the bowl, but nothing else.

The army over there left.

Chen Shi walked slowly and unknowingly, he had walked several miles, avoiding those annoying big mushrooms along the way, and gradually approached Hongshan Hall.

Suddenly a voice came: "Wait a minute. You are the one whose name you can't remember, right?"

Chen Shi stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. Xia Luoying was standing in the air, looking down at him.

There were sounds of footsteps coming from all around, and everyone disappeared.

Chen Shi's body was covered with goose bumps, and he was shocked: "Fourteen muskets are aimed at my forehead, temples, throat, heart, back, legs and pubic region! There is also one person aiming at the back of my head!"

That's where the shrine emerges!
Xia Luoying stood on a high place and could overlook the fontanelle on the top of his head. This was the gate of heaven, the place where the golden elixir entered and exited!

These border troops trapped him!

Chen Shi had a strong spirit and extremely keen senses. He could clearly sense that these masters were staring at parts of his body, but the muskets were firing and the bullets were moving at such a fast speed that he was afraid he would not have enough time to dodge!

Chen Shi bowed and said, "It turns out to be Lord Xia. Lord Xia, what advice do you have for me?"

Xia Luoying stared at the bowl in his hand and said, "Break it."

Chen Shi was stunned and said, "I made this bowl of water for my mother, who is ill in bed..."

Xia Luoying's face was gloomy, and her voice became louder: "I said, smash it!"

Chen Shi gritted his teeth and smashed the bowl into pieces.

Although he smashed it very hard, he used his strength skillfully and the bottom of the bowl did not break, only the edge was broken.

The murderous aura around him subsided a little, and Chen Shi noticed that several pairs of eyes moved away from the back of his head and heart, but the other pairs of eyes did not move.

Just as Xia Luoying was about to leave, she suddenly glimpsed the bottom of the bowl and saw that the shape of the black fish was still intact. Her face changed slightly and she shouted, "Kill him!"

At his command, the sound of muskets rang out, gushing out with the power of thunder, and bullets whizzed in and hit Chen Shi directly!
Chen Shi exerted force with his feet, and his body rolled up. In mid-air, he was already stepping on the Big Dipper, moving sideways in the air, and rushing towards the first border troop!
Suddenly, the skin between his eyebrows tightened, and it was an extremely strong sense of danger!

Without hesitation, Chen Shi mobilized his Qi and blood, used his thoughts, and constructed the Golden Bell Talisman!
Golden light surged on his body, and a large bell formed rapidly. At the same time, from the muzzle of the musket in the hand of the soldier in front of him, a flash of lightning and a thunderous sound exploded, piercing through the golden bell and reaching Chen Shi's face.

The golden bell symbol had just been formed when it shattered and the bell disintegrated!
Chen Shi retreated quickly, and the second Bagua protective talisman had already formed. However, the flames still penetrated the heavy blockades of the protective talisman and hit Chen Shi between the eyebrows!

"Oh!"

Thunder and fire exploded, Chen Shi's head tilted back, his body flew backwards, and with a loud bang, he hit a wall several feet away, knocking it down.

Chen Shi turned over, half-knelt on the ground, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

His black golden elixir appeared between his eyebrows. At the last moment, he used the golden elixir to block the bullet shot from the musket. The bullet was only a hair's breadth away from blasting through his head!

This was his first time to take on a firearm head-on, and he didn't expect the power to be so terrifying!
The golden elixir is tangible but intangible, and cannot be harmed by external objects. It is composed of the cultivator's qi and blood, and spells can penetrate it, but talismans cannot work on it. Even some treasures, even if they hit the golden elixir, will only pass through it.

Some treasures can't even withstand the golden elixir force field.

However, Chen Shi's black golden elixir took the bullet and was almost blown to pieces!
Golden elixir, afraid of thunder!
Gunpowder was invented by the King of Medicine Sun Simiao, and it contains the power of thunder!

The Ming Dynasty’s firearms are invincible!
You can defeat gods above and kill ghosts below!
This shot from the musket almost took Chen Shi's life!

Suddenly, Chen Shi felt that he was being locked on again, and he immediately leaped to the side. While in the air, he suddenly held onto the top of the wall, flipped over it, hid under the wall, and ran while crouching.

"Oh!"

The wall behind him was shot through by a bullet and half of it collapsed.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the wall, and a long spear spun forward and stabbed into the wall. The tip of the spear shook, and the wall shattered into pieces!

Chen Shi's figure was exposed. He reached out to grab the gun, and a talisman appeared in his palm.

As soon as he grabbed the gun, the power of the immobilization talisman burst out and immobilized the spearman.

Suddenly, a hammer soldier on one side swung up a sledgehammer. Various strongman talismans were imprinted on the surface of the sledgehammer. The talismans burst out, and the power increased dozens of times in an instant, and smashed down towards Chen Shi!
Chen Shi grabbed the gun, held the gun in his hand, and all kinds of talismans on the gun were activated immediately, meeting the hammer that was smashing down!
The hammer that was brought down with a force dozens of times greater than that of the hammer soldier was picked up by his spear, and the tip of the spear loosened and pierced his throat!

Chen Shi drew his gun and stabbed the butt of the gun into the chest of the spearman behind him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As lightning flashed, Chen Shi felt three bullets heading straight for his throat, heart and dantian. He immediately held the spear and shook it vigorously, trying to use this spear strengthened by talismans to fight against the bullets shot from the musket!
"Snapped!"

The gun body exploded, and the talismans imprinted on the gun body shattered into pieces. Chen Shi's knuckles burst and he fell backwards.

At the same time, he realized that his back, the back of his heart and the back of his head were all locked!

"Boom! Boom!"

The gunshot rang out, like thunder, striking Chen Shi's back of the heart and head.

Chen Shi was in mid-air, and was involuntarily crashing backwards. He clenched his teeth and activated the Seven Refiners of the Big Dipper. He stepped on Yaoguang, Kaiyang, Yuheng, Tianquan, Tianji, Tianxuan and Tianshu, and turned again and again in the air!

He heard the roar of thunder, whistling past the back of his head, and broke out in a cold sweat.

When his strength was exhausted, Chen Shi realized that the roots of his legs, dantian, and heart were all locked!

Now he has not yet regained his strength and is unable to move forward and avoid the attacks of these muskets!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Thunder sounded, flames appeared, and three bullets whizzed towards him!

Chen Shi shouted and activated the Ziwu Zhanxie Sword. Invisible sword energy whizzed out and he rushed towards the incoming projectiles regardless of anything. As for whether he could hit the projectiles, he could only take a gamble!
The sword energy hit the first projectile, and the projectile exploded!

The sword energy hit the second projectile, and the projectile exploded!

The sword energy brushed past the third bullet and missed!
The bullet has already reached Chen Shi’s heart!

Xia Luoying slowly walked down from the air, his eyes fell on the porcelain bowl that was broken by Chen Shi. His eyes were fixed on the black fish at the bottom of the bowl, and he slowly stretched out his hand.

At the same time, a strong wind blew in his face, and a golden palm stretched out, blocking Chen Shi's heart!
When the bullet hit the palm, a golden light appeared in the center of the palm, blocking the bullet. The gunpowder hidden in the bullet exploded, thunder rolled, and fire burned, but it failed to hurt the golden hand at all!

Monk Wu Chen clenched his hands tightly, grasping the exploding thunder and fire in his palms. The next moment, his golden body burst out, came in front of Xia Luoying, and punched out.

Xia Luoying was caught off guard and raised her hand to take the blow. Her arm snapped and broke. At the same time, she raised her Nascent Soul and exclaimed, "Great Wheel Vajra Mantra?"

Monk Wuchen activated his golden body and the two fought in close combat. Xia Luoying tried to distance herself from him, but Wuchen was so close to her, how could she have a chance to do so?

There was a crackling sound of broken bones, and suddenly the two separated. Xia Luoying was standing in place, with all the bones in her body shattered, and she fell down like a piece of mud.

Monk Wuchen's golden body took on a series of musket bombardments and rushed to the front of the musketeers. The monk leaped like the sky and killed all the border troops like a killing god.

"Scholar, I'm repaying you!"

He laughed heartily, and like a great frog, he leaped up and leaped away again and again.

"I don't owe you anything now! The road ahead is long, see you in the future!"
