Chapter 190: Chapter 105 When I Wake Up_3

Underneath the stone frame was a massive grinding stone with a diameter of about two zhang, roughly the same size as the copper mirror, and it could move. The back of the mirror bore the relief engravings of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, the four divine beasts.

Two muscular soldiers were energetically invoking the Yellow Turban Warrior Talisman, augmenting themselves to push the grinding stone. As the stone turned, the Bright Mirror also rotated, projecting sunlight from the sky onto the dark surface of the sea.

In the sea, it seemed as if colossal creatures were tumbling within the waves, their massive bodies and scales looking like numerous eyes.

They charged towards the shore but recoiled the moment the light shone on them.

Chen Shi stood in front of one Bright Mirror, and although the soldiers were surprised, they had received orders from above and did not chase him away, allowing him to stand there.

Chen Shi sat in front of the small temple, also watching the dark sea ahead.

The sea water crashed against the coast with a whoosh, the sound of the waves remaining the same as in the past.

Suddenly, Chen Shi lowered his hands that were propping up his cheeks, widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at the dark sea in front of him, and couldn’t help but stand up.

Lights of fire appeared on the sea’s surface, followed by a fleet of gigantic Treasure Ships breaking through the darkness and sailing out of the Dark Sea towards this continent!

Atop those ships stood towering Primordial Spirits, guarding the ships, battling the massive creatures that were attacking from the sea, slaying one terrifying beast after another, chopping off their heads, and staining the ocean red with blood.

"Boom!"

The first Treasure Ship crashed into the coastline. The soldiers of the Great Ming, dressed in Iron Plate Fish Scale Armor, wearing hats and caps, each iron plate depicting the Six Ding and Six Jia gods, with red tassels hanging from their iron caps, the front illustrated with the Six Ding and Six Jia, the bottom with the Eight Trigrams Protection Talisman, and the back with the Golden Light Protective Talisman.

They protected a soldier as they rushed ashore, discovering this new land devoid of people, only evil spirits spreading death and plague.

They clashed with the oncoming evil spirits from the shore, suffering massive casualties and numerous injuries.

"We need a Medicine King God!"

That soldier shouted loudly, "Please bring out the Medicine King God from the ship!"

The other soldiers lifted a huge shrine from the ship, and inside was a wooden carving, soaked through the years with the Incense Fire Qi, depicting the famous doctor Sun Simiao from the Tang Dynasty, revered by later generations as the Three Realms Medicine King Heavenly Doctor Great Saint, with a crawling Yellow Tiger at his feet.

The soldier held Incense Fire Qi, knelt before the shrine, his voice like Thunder Sound, reverberating between darkness and light.

"Medicine King above, for seventeen years we have been under your divine protection, preserving our bodies and spirits. Now, in times of crisis, what we need is not just a divine physician who heals the sick and saves lives, but a deity in control of the Nine Yang Thunder Fire, who can heal and save, and at the same time unleash slaughter—a deity of gunpowder!"

"Zheng Sanbao, are you sure you want to do this?" The divine being spoke, his aged voice echoing amid the battle sounds.

"Certain!"

"So be it!"

The wooden carving thunderously rose to its feet, the Divine Power around it changing, giving it horns, transforming his aged body into a strong and youthful one, and his Magical Treasure transformed accordingly, with the docile Huang Hu also turning terrifying and fierce.

From then on, this Medicine King God protected the Great Ming soldiers, battling on this new land, allowing the soldiers to gain a foothold on this continent, establishing Xinxiang.

Healing and saving lives was only part of his duty, slaying evil, purifying spirits, and exterminating demons were his greatest strengths!

When the Medicine King God opened his Medicine Gourd, out poured the Nine Yang Thunder Fire!

Together with the soldiers, he fought valiantly, leading the charge, with firelight everywhere, Heavenly Thunder crackling, mountains collapsing, earth splitting, ghosts and gods submitting, and evil spirits vanquished!

Once the Great Ming soldiers settled in Xinxiang, dispersed the nearby evil spirits, and more of the Great Ming’s people continuously crossed the Dark Sea to arrive in this new land.

He guarded the coast, preventing demons from encroaching, and taught the people of the Great Ming how to create firearms, empowering them with the strength to fight against evil spirits.

At last, everything finally settled down.

The Great Ming soldiers escorted the Medicine King God to the heart of Qianyang Mountain, built a temple for him, and planted a yellow apricot tree. After some years passed, an imperial edict from the Emperor of Ming arrived in Xinxiang, making him the Qianyang Mountain Lord.

Chen Shi watched as the grand scenes before his eyes gradually blurred until everything disappeared, leaving only the dark sea.

Just then, he had entered into the memories of the Qianyang Mountain Lord.

That vision left him unable to calm down for a long time.

At this moment, Chen Shi saw the scenery in front of him slowly changing.

"He" ascended once more and left the city of Xin Xiang Province.

"He" returned to the heart of Qianyang Mountain.

Before long, "he" arrived at a newly built temple in the mountains.

Chen Shi was startled; the temple seemed to have been recently built, its white walls still damp. Inside the temple, one could see the newly-carved statues, made of stone, with a human body and bull’s horns, seated on a fierce tiger.

Beside it lay discarded stone carvings, not yet cleared away.

And in the courtyard of this new temple grew an apricot tree, surrounded by an apricot grove.

"Is this... the new Mountain Lord Temple prepared by Granny Sha and the others?"

Chen Shi realized, and new doubts arose in his mind, "What is the Mountain Lord doing here?"

Just as he thought this, his vision blurred, and he was back in his own body, with countless Incense Fire Qi flowing from his forehead towards the new stone statue in the shrine!

After a moment, the Medicine King God, the Qianyang Mountain Lord, entered this new stone statue.

And his tiger mount also left the body of the Black Pot and went into the stone tiger.

The stone statue slowly sank into slumber, gradually falling asleep.

"Children of China, when you need me again, awaken me."

Near Chen Shi’s ear, it seemed a grand voice spoke.

"When I wake up, I shall have horns on my head, command Thunder Fire, unleash the boundless might of gunpowder, turn into Nine Yang Heavenly Thunder, and shatter all evil spirits and demons, to protect this land, to safeguard the blood of the Yan and Huang!"

"Remember, awaken me!"
