Chapter 188: Chapter 105 When I Wake Up

The god descending from the shrine had ribbons made of Incense Fire Qi behind him, sky blue and continuously flowing around him. Chen Shi watched closely, noticing the strange and wondrous patterns of the talisman in the Qi—patterns that even his grandfather had never taught him!

"This world, is there talisman that even my grandfather doesn’t know?"

He was greatly surprised.

In his heart, his grandfather was the most erudite person, proficient in all talismans, seals, and depictions of various spirits, demons, and deities, all of which his grandfather could draw with a single stroke.

Even the forbidden language of spirits and gods, his grandfather picked up effortlessly.

But the Medicine King God’s various talisman patterns were never taught by his grandfather; they must be a brand-new type of talisman!

His grandfather had taught him many Healing Talismans, Nourishing Body Talismans, and other Medicine King Talismans for curing diseases, which included the divine visages and talisman of Medicine King God, but they were vastly different from the ones before him now.

"Perhaps it’s not that grandfather didn’t understand them, but rather he never taught them to me."

Chen Shi continued to observe, and behind this divine figure’s flowing ribbons, there were full apricot groves, ubiquitously spread lingzhi mushrooms, and floating in the air were a medicine furnace, bamboo staves, and gourds.

When he drew near, he could even smell the various strange medicinal fragrances, refreshing to his core, his Qi increasing tremendously and his True Qi circulating faster!

Besides, there was the extremely terrifying Nine Yang Thunder Fire continuously rolling within that strangely circular world formed by the ribbons, exploding!

That force was terrifyingly strong, a power graspable by mortals and feared by deities and immortals!

Compassion and destruction formed contradictory yet united aspects within him.

This Medicine King God was about ten meters tall. While seated in the shrine, his height wasn’t obvious, but once he stepped down, the oppressive aura was full, requiring Chen Shi to look up to see the other’s face.

His battle desire was strong, his footsteps causing thunder and fire to flare up from the ground within about three meters around him, as if filled with fury, seemingly ready to release the terrifying Nine Yang Thunder Fire at any moment!

Chen Shi and the Medicine King God exchanged glances, his heart pounding!

That was an intense aggression that unsettled him, emanating from the eyes of the Medicine King God.

It was very different from the Medicine King God his grandfather had described, who was an old man leaning on a bamboo staff, with a gourd hung on the end that held the spiritual elixir for curing diseases and saving people. Huang Hu lay at his feet, as tame as a cat.

But the Medicine King God who descended from his small temple shrine wasn’t an old man, but rather a middle-aged man with bull horns, his battle desire irrepressible!

He was among all the people, ghosts, demons, evil spirits, and spirits he had encountered, the one with the strongest desire for battle!

"Wouldn’t it be faster to train if I offered sacrifices to the Mountain Lord and used the Mountain Lord as a Divine Embryo?" Chen Shi’s heart thumped wildly.

Huang Hu stood up, came to the foot of the Medicine King God, very tame, but roared at Chen Shi, as though saying this was his true master.

You are not the master.

You are just a substitute when the master is absent, only entertaining when I am bored.

"Many thanks, young friend, for your protection these days."

The Medicine King God spoke, his voice booming like deafening thunder rolling in Chen Shi’s mind, causing him to see stars.

"You have awakened me in response to the Queen’s agreement; has the time come again when I am needed?"

The Medicine King God’s fighting spirit was high, he drew out his green bamboo staff from behind his head, his muscles and sinews swelling continuously!

His bamboo staff also thickened and lengthened, painted over with various talismans for destruction and battle, while from behind, the treasured gourd opened, releasing an incredibly terrifying aura.

It was an extremely strong aura of the Nine Yang Thunder Fire!

The thunder fire inside the gourd was so potent that Chen Shi even felt that if released, it could level the entire Xinxiang County!

"I smell the presence of an Evil Spirit!"

The Medicine King God, brimming with killing intent, wielded the bamboo staff, ready to rush out of the temple.

His transformation was so sudden that even Huang Hu felt some fear, but he immediately roared and was ready to follow him into battle.

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Shi hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute! You can’t go out; if you do, the Outer Heaven True God will discover us, and destruction will follow!"

The Medicine King God kept charging forward; Chen Shi urgently shifted his thoughts, intending to return to his body. However, as his mind moved, his form flew forward, only to be repelled by an invisible force, keeping him within the small temple.

"Ah?"

Chen Shi was stunned, and as he moved his thoughts again, the space of the temple shook violently, and he flew out of the temple but was repelled back again.

After several attempts, Chen Shi found himself still trapped in the temple.

"Wait a minute, if I’m in the temple, then where are the Medicine King God and Brother Hu?"

He blinked, moved to the temple door, and saw the sandy, misty space in front of the temple gradually clearing.

Chen Shi then saw his own hair bun, with the red ribbons occasionally fluttering past the front of the temple.

He saw the ancient tree of Huangpo Village; the tree spirit was a young girl in her twenties, now holding incense, looking towards "himself," saluting "him" with great reverence.

This young girl, apart from sneaking into his bed and being saved by him once in a mysterious way, had never respected him like this before.

Chen Shi saw his viewpoint shifting, his gaze falling on the Black Pot, which was walking not at all like a dog now, but more like a fiercely formidable tiger.

Majestic, though it was the body of a dog, he carried himself with a tiger’s relentless stride!

"The body of Black Pot has been taken over by Huang Hu!"

Chen Shi suddenly realized. If Huang Hu had taken over Black Pot’s body, then who was occupying his own body?
