Chen Shi returned to Qianyang Mountain, several days later.
This ti, he was on a return journey, and had the leisure to observe the people's livelihood amidst this chaotic world.
After the catastrophe, there should have been more deaths. First, there's a snow disaster lasting several years, which would freeze to death eight or nine out of ten people. Luckily, Feng Immortal broke the Upper Realm, causing thousands of void Suns to hang in the sky, providing light and heat to the world and preventing the snow disaster.
However, this catastrophe, with underworld invasions, evil spirits everywhere, and a food crisis, also led to countless deaths and injuries. Adding to this were human disasters, with powerful people everywhere often eating others, curing and drying people as food reserves. The survivors were less than thirty percent.
The ones who sheltered the common people the most were the Red Mountain Hall and the Huaxia Gods revived by Chen Shi. Where there were temples, there was harvest.
"At the end of the True King Era, the world changed dramatically, and countless people died or were injured, with less than one in ten surviving. But that catastrophe lasted for more than forty years, while the current catastrophe only lasted four years and so many people died. The main reason is the Court hasn't unified various forces, and places are scattered."
Chen Shi thought silently in his heart, "Unfortunately, I am not the Court... But I can beco the Court!"
He felt invigorated: "Return to Qianyang Mountain and rebel! Wrong! How could I rebel? I own the West King Jade Seal, have nurous Talisman Masters from Red Mountain Hall, and have revived hundreds of Huaxia Gods, I am the Court!"
The Black Pot felt a strong Devil Thought coming from behind, turned back and looked to Chen Shi.
"Black Pot, I will proclaim you as the One-word Arm-in-arm King after I ascend the throne!" Chen Shi's voice ca.
The Black Pot felt this Demon King Chen is worth befriending.
Chen Shi arrived at the foot of the Mountain Lord Temple, and the old Wu Zhu was tending the waterlon in the lon field, smiling broadly upon seeing him: "The top scorer is back!"
Chen Shi parked, smiled and said: "Grandma Wu Zhu, it's . Grandma's health is indeed good!"
The old Wu Zhu smiled: "I eat well and sleep well, naturally I am healthy."
She saw Chen Shi jump out of the car and co to the lon field to pick lons, and couldn't help but show a fierce look, raising the cane to hit him, but suddenly rembered he was the top scorer and couldn't be hit, thus turning anger into joy: "The top scorer eating my lons is my good fortune."
"Grandma Wu Zhu, no need to give, I can't eat too much."
Chen Shi put several waterlons and sweet lons in the wooden cart, waved to the old Wu Zhu, and stepped up the mountain, coinciding with Yu Zhu driving ducks by, so he grabbed two ducks and threw them into the cart.
"Yu Zhu, are you driving ducks? Back now? No problem, no problem, I'll take two ducks ho, isn't it returning ho? Give a welco. Busy now? Married? Haha, you are indeed charming..."
"Aunt Wang, I've returned! Your beans are good, pick a basket, also pick so peppers there, pull a few radishes, am I not returning ho? Welco tonight... Don't need you to send it to my house, just put it in my cart! Hey, we are family, why pay money? If you insist on giving, I'll take it."
"Uncle Li, it's , Little Ten! Right, right! I'm ho, welco myself tonight, I'll take these two chickens... And also a pack of eggs. Does it matter? Family, no need to pay !"
"Haha, Sister Qing, added another baby? Take off your pants, this top scorer will flick your little ox... Hmm, it's a girl."
Chen Shi took away the sugar-coated haws from Sister Qing's daughter's hands and walked up the mountain, greeting people along the way, with the little girl's cries trailing behind.
Wu Qingyu was farming in the field, seeing the wooden cart coming from afar, loaded with chicken, duck, at, eggs, and other foods, couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, rushed towards the cart, suddenly rembered sothing, stopped and called out to Chen Tang in the field: "Ah Tang, Ah Tang! Little Ten is back!"
Chen Tang was transplanting rice seedlings between the ridges, was shocked upon hearing, stuffed the seedlings into the hands of the person beside him, and leaped out of the rice field.
He was about to chase Wu Qingyu but seeing the mud on himself, cald down, fetched clear water to wash the dirt off his body.
He hadn't washed clean before Chen Shi and Wu Qingyu ca over.
"Dad, I'm back!" Chen Shi shouted loudly.
Chen Tang was holding a ladle to wash his feet, was sowhat awkward with bare feet, said, "It's good to be back... Um!"
Chen Shi stepped forward, hugged him tightly.
Chen Tang was at a loss, who had been an official for many years, not used to such intense expression of emotion.
Wu Qingyu smiled watching the father and son, seeing Chen Tang finally relax, patted Chen Shi's back with the hand holding the ladle, murmuring softly: "Good, good..."
He felt his son's shoulders had grown broader and more robust, his voice had beco deeper, making one feel very grounded.
Little Dun sneaked out of the small temple, was caught by Wu Qingyu to transplant seedlings, the two chatted while working, giggling sounds ca from ti to ti.
Black Pot was also running wildly everywhere, rushing into the mountains, startling a lot of birds and beasts.
A heavy, low roar ca from the mountains, Black Pot imdiately beca much more obedient, and went towards the sound obediently.
That's its mother, the adult Huo Dou calling it.
Chen Shi's return made the mountain very lively; County Magistrate Hu ran over, excitedly bouncing.
The fox spirits on the mountain also gathered around; these Fox Clan females were particularly covetous of the top scorer due to their race. County Magistrate Hu used her official authority to disperse the little spirits.
"You little flirts, also think of becoming the top scorer's wife! Even grandma couldn't succeed, and you're dreaming!"
She held on to Chen Shi, glanced at Little Dun not far away, laughed with a teasing tone, "Top scorer, did you consummate your marriage... Not yet? Look, our Fox Clan excels in transformation, I can turn into Little Dun's appearance, we can consummate tonight, how about it?"
