Chapter 172 The Butt of a Leader
Chapter 172 The Butt of a Leader
Li Tianqing walked carefully into the snail shell and found that the shell was quite spacious, about two meters wide at the widest part and more than two meters high.
After walking ten or so steps inside, the space became smaller and smaller. After turning a corner, it was only about ten feet. After turning two more corners, it could barely accommodate one person.
Chen Shi's Taotie Swallowing Heaven technique does not shrink people. In fact, the person or object affected by this technique does not change at all. What changes is actually the carrier of the technique. If this technique is used on a basin, the space inside the basin will become extremely vast. If it is used on one's sleeves, the sleeves will become like a huge cloth bag.
Chen Shi used this spell on the snail shells. The shells did not become larger, but the space inside became larger, allowing them to hide.
"This spell consumes a lot of energy and blood. I wonder how long Xiao Shi can hold on."
Li Tianqing was a little worried. If Chen Shi couldn't hold on and the space inside the snail shell returned to normal, they would immediately burst the snail shell and be exposed to the Tianmu Society, Fei Tianzheng and others!
At that time, you will be at the mercy of others.
"Sir, there are still some leftovers in the pot, and they taste very good."
A voice came, "I'll have someone warm it up."
"Yeah. Add some mushrooms to the soup so you can eat more."
It sounded like the voice of the governor Fei Tianzheng, "People outside, share a little too."
Inside the snail shell, Chen Shi and Li Tianqing looked at each other. These people were obviously starving, and although they had leftovers, they still heated them up and ate them.
Chen Shi blinked and thought, "Are the mushrooms they eat actually mushrooms, or are they mushrooms that grow from human bodies?"
He listened to the noises outside. There were about a hundred people coming into the village. Apart from Wu Daozheng and several incense masters and coaches of the Tianmu Society, most of the others were adults from the twelve aristocratic families.
It is quite remarkable that there are still so many people left today.
Chen Shi carefully stretched out his foot, landed on the ground, and walked out slowly with the snail shell.
Seeing this, Li Tianqing's heart rose to his throat, fearing that he would make a mistake and be discovered.
There are people coming and going in the yard, and it would be dangerous if I stayed in the snail shell, as I could easily be stepped on.
Chen Shi couldn't see outside, so he could only walk forward slowly, trying to reach the wall.
When you get to the wall, it's dark and difficult to be discovered.
"Strange, I didn't find those people."
At this time, Wu Daozheng's voice came, "They definitely didn't run far. If they escaped, they would definitely not be able to hide it from Tianmu."
Fei Tianzheng asked: "Still haven't found the Blood Tai Sui yet?"
"No. Not only is Xue Tai Sui missing, but Min Jiang Grandma is also missing."
Wu Daozheng said, "And the rabbit was not caught either."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shi thought to himself, "Master Yu was not caught? This is good news! However, Master Yu's fish meat must have been eaten up long ago. How did he survive?"
He suddenly remembered that the people in Yutian City could survive by eating mushrooms, and he felt a little relieved.
"Wudao Zheng, go look around and see if you can find anything to eat."
Governor Yan Jiuling's voice came, saying, "The people who lived here before were able to eat fish, which means there are still fish in the Minjiang River. Go find a few people who are good at swimming and go to the river to catch some fish."
"Yes!"
Wu Daozheng hurried out.
Chen Shi tried hard to walk towards the corner. At this time, Fei Tianzheng's voice came, saying, "What should Wu Daozheng do?"
Chen Shi was stunned.
Isn't Wu Daozheng, the head of Tianmu Association, supposed to serve these officials? Why is he suddenly talking about how to deal with it?
Fei Tianzheng sighed and said, "Wu Daozheng is loyal, but he must be dealt with. The golden Buddha has taken root and absorbed nutrients from other mushrooms. The magic transformation is about to end. After the magic transformation is over, the court will definitely send people to Gongzhou to investigate. If they don't come to investigate on weekdays, everything in Gongzhou is good. Once they come to investigate, everything in Gongzhou is bad."
Everyone was filled with awe.
They know better than anyone what Gongzhou is like.
In the past, these high-ranking officials from aristocratic families guarded the small piece of land of Gongzhou and condoned gangs such as the Tianmu Society, the Cao Lao Society, and the Yan Lao Society, which led to the corruption of the morals in Gongzhou and fraud and deception everywhere.
It would be ok to refine one Ten Thousand Souls Banner in other places, but Gongzhou can refine three or four!
These Ten Thousand Soul Banners are made from the souls of the scholars who died on the farm!
In the past, the imperial court would never send anyone to investigate Gongzhou, but after the demonic transformation is over, they will definitely send someone!
At that time, everyone had a dirty trick, and based on their daily behavior, they would definitely go to Caishikou!
Commander Yang Gui said: "Master Fei is right. The golden Buddha has matured, the demonic transformation has ended, and except for the Gao family, all the other thirteen families can survive. Before the court comes to investigate, we must clean up our mess! If we don't, we will all die!"
Zhang Xun said leisurely: "The Tianmu Association is a dirty ass, and so is the Cao Lao Association. And the Yan Lao Association is also a dirty ass, and it must be wiped clean!"
Lord Ma, the Chief Justice, said, "What about Hongshan Hall? Hongshan Hall doesn't do evil on weekdays. On the contrary, Hongshan Hall maintains order for us and eradicates evil spirits everywhere. They also made great efforts on the eve of this demonic change."
Eunuch Cen nodded and said, "It is also our credit that Hongshan Hall can stay."
"You two lords, you are wrong!"
Deputy General Jiang sneered, "Hongshan Hall is also a dirty ass! Hongshan Hall gives you a lot of silver every year. When the court comes to investigate, if anyone is found guilty, everyone will be in trouble! According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if you embezzle 60 taels of silver, you will be beheaded! You all know how much you have embezzled!"
The gentlemen all looked a little embarrassed, and Eunuch Cen smiled and said, "Who hasn't been greedy nowadays?"
Deputy General Jiang said: "This is the law! Someone must bear the blame for this demonic change, someone must take the blame!"
Fei Tianzheng said: "This matter is settled. The Tianmu Society must be wiped out, and the Cao Lao Society and the Yan Lao Society must also be wiped out. The Hongshan Hall is no exception! Lord Cen, Lord Ma, what do you think?"
The two men bowed their heads and said, "Your Excellency the Governor is right. It is settled."
Chen Shi hid in the shell, feeling grief for the lost, thinking: "Wudao Zheng and Tianmu are still busying around for these masters, not knowing that they have already been sold out. But is the demonic transformation really going to end?"
"Another point."
Governor Yan Jiuling said, "Who will take the blame for the demon transformation? The Great Baoguo Temple is not to be trifled with."
Everyone fell silent.
Da Baoguo Temple is a holy place of Buddhism, with many masters, and Master Kuzhu is just one of the strongest masters among them.
If the truth were to be revealed, and it was said that it was Zen Master Kuzhu who had turned into a demon, I'm afraid they would not be able to bear the revenge from the Dabaoguo Temple.
"These high-ranking officials usually seem to be high and mighty, but when the time comes, they become entangled and timid!"
Chen Shi had unknowingly moved to the wall and was carefully moving out along the drain in the corner.
"Otherwise, just say it was done by a random person."
The voice of Master Gu from the Tea and Horse Department came from the courtyard, "Anyway, these people do all kinds of bad things on a daily basis, so they don't care about getting another bad name."
"That's right!" Everyone clapped and laughed. Chen Shi walked out of the manhole, and suddenly his feet were empty, and the snail shell rolled down from the corner of the wall.
Chen Shi was shocked and dared not move.
There are too many masters in the courtyard. Fei Tianzheng, Xia Chuli, Yan Jiuling and others are all masters from major families, and have cultivated to the realm of Godly Descent and Refining Void. If they are suddenly exposed, the blame may not be able to save them!
He heard several footsteps coming from the yard and walking outside, and his heart rose to his throat.
At this moment, a child picked up a snail shell on the ground and put it to his ear, as if he was listening to the sound of the wind inside the snail.
He is a little boy and should be quite favored. The fact that he has survived until now must have shown that the adults in his family have put a lot of thought into his life.
Black Pot immediately ran to the entrance of the snail and whispered into the little boy's ear.
The little boy chuckled and ran forward, clutching the shell.
"Yan Hao, don't go too far!" Yan Jiuling's voice came.
The little boy responded.
After a while, Hei Guo was whispering in the snail shell again. The little boy Yan Hao brought the snail shell to the village entrance, put it down, turned around and ran back to the village.
Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the shell.
The moment he stepped out of the shell, his body suddenly returned to normal from being as small as an ant.
Li Tianqing, Hongshan Niangniang, Hei Guo and Mu Che also walked out of the shells one after another, and each of them returned to their original state, and they couldn't help but marvel at it.
The little boy named Yan Hao looked at them from afar with a curious look on his face, as if wondering how people and cars could come out of the snails.
Chen Shi waved to him and immediately urged the wooden cart to leave.
"We must find Grandma Minjiang and Master Yutang!"
Chen Shi thought to himself, "These officials are ruthless and want to destroy the bridge after crossing it. We must tell them to take precautions early!"
When the wooden cart arrived at the Minjiang River, Tianmu was seen stirring up waves in the river, opening her mouth wide, with her long tongue flying, rolling towards the big fish in the river!
That big fish is none other than the Minjiang Grandma!
Wu Daozheng and several other incense masters joined forces with Tianmu to besiege Minjiang Grandma. Minjiang Grandma was named Minjiang Dragon King by Chen Shi. With a wave of her walking stick, she set off a huge wave and collided with Tianmu.
Tianlao groaned, unable to resist. Wudao was swinging the Skull Yuanyang Heart-searching Hammer, and skulls flew out one after another, dived into the water, pounced on Minjiang Grandma's body and started biting her.
The other three incense masters each activated their Nascent Souls, which passed through layers of waves and rushed towards the Minjiang Grandma!
Seeing this, Chen Shi rushed forward without hesitation and shouted, "Quick battle, quick decision!"
Goddess Hongshan rushed faster than him. She rushed to the front with a whistling sound and pressed a palm on Wu Daozheng's back!
Wudao was spitting blood and was knocked forward. Before he fell, he was hit by Grandma Minjiang's walking stick.
He heard the sound of his ribs breaking, crackling, very crisp.
As he smashed backwards, he saw Hongshan Niangniang and Minjiang Grandma, one above and one below, attacking Tianmu!
With a bang, Tianmu's forehead caved in, and then the divine image was knocked out!
The real body of Minjiang Grandma flew up from the river, swung her huge tail, and slapped Tianmu in the face.
Goddess Hongshan struck a heavy blow on Tianmu's divine image, causing it to explode!
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing ran towards the three incense masters, and each of them offered up their golden elixirs. Suddenly, waves surged under Chen Shi's feet, and his speed increased greatly. In an instant, he was behind one of them!
The man was the new incense master of Caisheng Hall, named Pang Zhen. At this moment, he raised his Nascent Soul to attack Minjiang Grandma. Before the Nascent Soul could return to defend, Chen Shi had already arrived behind him.
But after all, his realm is much higher than Chen Shi.
Chen Shi’s golden elixir is black, and it is only the fourth stage of the golden elixir, which is five stages away from the ninth stage. Not to mention that there is still a qualitative leap from the golden elixir to the Nascent Soul, so he doesn’t take it seriously at all.
The shrine flew out from behind his head, and the divine fetus made a sword gesture, ready to use a spell to kill Chen Shi!
Chen Shi slapped him with his palm.
"So fast!"
Before his spell could be unleashed, Chen Shi's palm had already been imprinted on his back. Palm power burst out, and dozens of tiny fireballs invaded his body!
"Oh!"
Pang Zhen's body exploded into pieces!
Chen Shi kept moving, stepping on the huge waves and rising into the sky. He shook his sleeves, and the sleeves became round in an instant, pulling the figure of the other incense master of Zaoxu Hall upward.
The man reacted very quickly and immediately recalled his Nascent Soul.
His body was pulled into Chen Shi's sleeve by the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Technique, but his Nascent Soul flew over with a roar and pierced Chen Shi's forehead!
Yuanying was fast, but Chen Shi was even faster. Sword Qi shot out madly from the small temple behind his head, and in an instant the body of the incense master of Zaoxu Hall was riddled with holes!
His Nascent Soul went out of control, brushing past Chen Shi's cheek and exploding with a loud bang. The surface of the river was immediately blown up into a huge wave that was dozens of feet high!
On the other side, Li Tianqing, with jade wheels all over his body, killed another incense master of Fengmatang, leaving him covered with wounds, but he was unable to capture him for the time being.
The incense master also immediately called back his Nascent Soul. While the Nascent Soul was on its way back, Chen Shi had already moved his sword, and thunder rumbled above the nine heavens.
The incense master was startled and was about to avoid the thunder, but suddenly he felt a chill on his neck and then his head flew off.
He was distracted for a moment, and Li Tianqing seized the opportunity. A jade wheel flew out and cut off his neck.
"Let's go!" Chen Shi shouted loudly.
Hongshan Goddess and Minjiang Grandma rushed over at a high speed, and Minjiang Grandma's real body carried them through the water. The wooden cart over there was running automatically and madly without anyone in it.
At the same time, important officials of Gongzhou such as Fei Tianzheng, Xia Chuli, and Yan Jiuling in the village rose into the air and looked over here from above.
“You can’t find anything even after wearing iron shoes, but it takes no effort to get there!”
Fei Tianzheng laughed and said, "Grandma Minjiang and Goddess Hongshan are both here. It seems we can eat for a long time!"
Chen Shi was extremely nervous. Looking from afar, he saw that these Gongzhou officials had mushrooms of varying sizes growing on their bodies, faces and heads. They were completely different from their former graceful and elegant demeanor.
At this moment, a loud noise like the collapse of heaven and earth suddenly came from Gongzhou City. Chen Shi turned his head hurriedly, but saw that the mushroom-shaped wheel behind the head of the golden Buddha standing in the city was collapsing!
That huge noise was the sound of the Mushroom Paradise collapsing!
"The magic transformation has been accomplished?" Chen Shi widened his eyes.
Fei Tianzheng and others didn't bother to catch Chen Shi, and hurriedly looked towards Gongzhou City with uncertain expressions.
The collapse of the mushroom wheel indicated that the golden Buddha had absorbed all the "nutrients" and the demon seed had completely grown into a demon!
The golden light that had been shining in the sky also dimmed, and the power of the Demon Realm was gradually dissipating.
The Demon Realm is disappearing!
Wu Daozheng coughed up blood, flew up in a panic, came to Fei Tianzheng and others, and said hurriedly: "Sir, those guys colluded with Grandma Minjiang..."
"puff."
Fei Tianzheng slapped Wu Daozheng's head, causing it to explode. Even his soul was shattered by his palm, and his body fell from the air.
Fei Tianzheng looked calm, took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his hands, and said, "Gentlemen, we have to wipe our butts."
