Chapter 105: Chapter 63 The Formidable Youth_2

Chen Shi’s gaze flickered, and he smiled, "The waters of Dejiang River are ever-flowing and unpredictable, just like the fish. As long as we wait upstream or downstream, we will inevitably encounter Big Gun who has strayed into the Demon Domain. That is to say, we still have a chance to escape!"

Chen Yindou thought for a moment and said, "One Big Gun is only enough for the two of us to escape, at most taking Black Pot with us. The three of us can sit inside the fish’s mouth, allowing the fish to carry us through the Yin Yang Two Realms and escape the Demon Domain!"

Then, Li Tianqing’s voice came through, "Little Ten, we are planning to confront Evil Bodhisattva again, and we need your help to decipher the talismans on Evil Bodhisattva’s body!"

Chen Shi stood up, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Xiao Wangsun’s carriage stopped outside.

"Grandpa, I’m going to help them first."

Chen Shi walked outside and suddenly stopped, looking back, "Two days, no more than two days. If we still haven’t dealt with Evil Bodhisattva by then, our family will leave the Demon Domain! As for the others... let them be."

Chen Yindou nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, Little Ten, that’s settled then. Off you go."

Chen Shi quickly walked to the side of the carriage, jumped on, and the carriage sped away.

This time, Black Pot did not follow but stayed beside Chen Yindou.

Black-clad Xuan Shan came to Chen Yindou’s side, looking at the departing carriage and said, "Chen Shi has already become a remarkable young man. Perhaps he doesn’t need your care to survive."

Chen Yindou was quite comforted and laughed, "He has indeed grown a lot, even found the loopholes in the Demon Domain."

Black-clad Xuan Shan said, "He’s like a weed, possessing an indomitable life force. You always worry that if you leave, he won’t survive on his own, but I think he’s trying hard to tell you that he can live, so you don’t have to worry."

Chen Yindou’s spirit rallied, "Xuan Shan, you should let these people ceramicize, we can’t delay any longer. They may still have a chance to live after ceramicization, but forcefully protecting them might really starve them to death."

Black-clad Xuan Shan asked, "After they become ceramic, will someone save them?"

"There will be. There definitely will be."

Black-clad Xuan Shan gave him a deep look, and suddenly the invisible Spiritual Power that shrouded the mountaintop began to dissipate, and the power of Evil Bodhisattva began to invade.

On the mountaintop, people were busy with their own tasks, taking care of the elderly, nurturing children. In the eyes of others, their movements became slower and slower, gradually turning into porcelain.

But in their eyes, the world remained unchanged, and they continued to converse and live at a normal pace.

This is the world of the porcelain, unknown to outsiders.

The carriage carrying Chen Shi headed straight for Bridge Bay Town. On board were Xiao Wangsun and Li Tianqing as well. Upon reaching Bridge Bay Town, after turning several streets, they arrived at a paper mill in the town.

The town was already deserted, with only a few porcelain people standing there and a few Evil Spirits stealthily roaming around, not daring to approach their carriage.

The paper mill was fed by a small river, using the water’s fall to drive the waterwheel, which then turned the grinding stone in circles, grinding the soaked, nearly decomposing bamboo and plant debris into powder.

Outside was a pool, where the bamboo and plant debris soaked, already so rotten that it stank. It should have been scooped out long ago, but the workers at the paper mill stood beside the watermill turned into porcelain, naturally leaving no one to do the work.

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing brought over a pile of papers. Li Tianqing relied on his almost demonically good memory and observation skills to replicate the talisman patterns he saw on Evil Bodhisattva onto the paper, while Chen Shi checked for errors and omissions, completing the parts that Li Tianqing misremembered or missed.

The two cooperated and worked swiftly.

The patterns of the talismans on Evil Bodhisattva were numerous, and some were hidden very secretly, such as in the earlobes, belly button, and the palms and inner sides of the fingers that grasped the weapons.

Although Li Tianqing observed very carefully, he could only draw half, or even just a corner, of the talismans hidden in these secret places.

At this moment, it was necessary for Chen Shi to use the talismans he had learned to complete the missing parts.

A day later, King Xiao brought Granny Sha, Jin Hongying, and Li Jindou to the paper mill. Upon entering, the four were profoundly struck by the sight before them.

In the paper mill that spanned two to three acres, talismans were posted and hung everywhere, with the quantity reaching an overwhelming four to five hundred!

Some talismans were simply designed, while others were extremely complex.

"I have categorized these talismans into eight types based on the power they contain and the weapons wielded by the Evil Bodhisattva."

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing, although appearing somewhat fatigued, were still spirited. The two approached the first type of talisman, and Li Tianqing said, "This type of talisman belongs to the Sun God series, corresponding to the Sun Pearl in the hands of the Evil Bodhisattva. They are represented by Sun God Fire, Nine Yang Thunder Fire, and Six Yang Heavenly Talisman, among others. The route they follow begins in the left eye, where the Evil Bodhisattva harbors fondness. It flows down to the heart space, along the arm holding the Sun Pearl, reaching the palm. It stimulates the Five Yang True Thunder Talisman in the palm and the talismans on each finger, triggering the Sun Pearl. This forms a single strike."

Holding a thin bamboo rod, Chen Shi added, "This single attack accumulates the power of fifty-two kinds of talismans, and combined with its own tremendous Demon power, the might is extraordinary. Once it raises the Sun Pearl, you can cut off this sequence by intercepting the Yang Fire Talisman at its wrist. This would reduce the power of the strike to merely twenty or thirty percent of its original force."

King Xiao, Granny Sha, and the others were greatly shaken upon hearing this, finding it hard to believe.

Could this truly be the work of two children?

Li Tianqing also held a thin bamboo rod, pointing to a painting of the eight-armed, four-headed Doumu Bodhisattva, and said, "Along this meridian, there are several interception points, located at Si Bai, Fu Tu, Hand Five Li, Hand Three Li, and He Gu acupoints. Striking these during battle can reduce the power of the Evil Bodhisattva’s Sun-related spells by nearly half."

The two moved to the next type of talisman, which were part of the Taiyin System, corresponding to the right eye of the angry-faced figure, the arm holding the Moon Pearl.

The pair explained the first series of main talismans, and after discussing the weaknesses of these talismans, they explained how to inhibit the activation of the talisman formation. The four listeners were left astonished and speechless.

Jin Hongying murmured, "If I had known this method earlier, I might have been able to take down the Evil Bodhisattva all by myself in the first battle."

King Xiao praised, "The younger generation is indeed fearsome."

Although Chen Shi and Li Tianqing were but two children in their early teens, they simplified the complex, categorized over four hundred types of talismans, and explained each category’s countermeasures, giving the others greater hope for success.

"This battle, we have an eighty percent chance of victory!" Li Jindou chuckled.

King Xiao headed outside, calling out, "It’s time to seek out the Evil Bodhisattva and put an end to this Demon Transformation!"

Granny Sha picked up the Sheep Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp and laughed, "With such significant contributions from the two little ones against the demons, we of the older generation must fight with all our might!"

They boarded the carriage, which then departed.

Li Jindou popped his head out of the carriage and laughed, "You two little ones find a safe place to hide and await our good news!"

Li Tianqing watched them leave and asked, "What do we do while the adults are fighting?"

Chen Shi’s eyes gleamed as he said, "Tianqing, do you remember the location of the Zhao family’s camp? If the adults deal with the Evil Bodhisattva and everyone returns to normal, won’t the Zhao family return to the provincial city without any punishment?"

Li Tianqing tested the waters, "Do you mean..."

Chen Shi smirked, "If the cannons from the Divine Mechanism Camp are not used often, could they rust?"

Li Tianqing was startled, "Isn’t firing the Red Barbarian cannons at the Zhao family’s camp a bit too audacious?"

Despite his words, excitement twinkled in his eyes.

Chen Shi rubbed his hands together with enthusiasm, "I wonder if the Zhao family’s Golden Core Realm expert can withstand the Red Barbarian cannons?"
