Simulated Immortal Cultivation: Beginning with Changchun's Immortality

Chapter 84

After leaving the Zeng Mansion for another day, we waited until dusk and the smoke from the kitchen, a small village gradually appeared in front of us.

The huge stone standing at the entrance of the village was chiseled out with the word Gaojia with an awl.

With the power of the sword that day, no matter how courageous Nine Thousand Years is, he will not dare to trouble the Zeng family again.

In addition, he had affairs with the sect, so he only spent one night in Zeng's mansion, so Li Yan took the initiative to approach Zeng Yuanchun and bid farewell.

Even though Zeng Yuanchun did everything possible to persuade him to stay, Li Yan still embarked on the official road to Shuofang City.

"Gaojia Village, Lishui County..."

Li Yan took out a piece of pale yellow letterhead from his sleeve, and after confirming that it was correct, he dusted off his clothes and walked towards the entrance of the village.

The letter was written by the master of the Qingyang Temple in Shuofang City to a Daoist of Qi Refining in the Zongmen.

Just because the Taoist disciple was about to break through, he was unable to take care of the troubles his old friend encountered, so he made some Taoist merits and assigned the task to the dormitory, which can be regarded as a little friendship.

The master of the temple was originally a Taoist of Xunfeng Temple, but unfortunately his origin energy was polluted when he was fighting with others, and he saw that the road was hopeless.

For such disciples, Xunfeng Temple generally has two ways to deal with them.

For those with a firm heart, Zongmen will find him a chore to earn some Taoism skills, hoping to restore the foundation of the Tao one day.

Others who are greedy for the secular world will give some money and send it down the mountain gate to build some foundations in the mortal world and serve as the eyes and ears of the sect.

Disciples of the younger generation who have outstanding talents can also be recommended to join the sect.

The master of the Qingyang temple is the latter. With his back to the Xunfeng temple and the Taoism he learned from the sect, this person has gained a lot of fame in the secular world over the years.

It's just what's in the letter, it's not his field of expertise.

In desperation, he specially sent the letterhead to the Zongmen to ask his friend with profound morals to teach him.

Aside from the cumbersome narrative above, the other party only recorded one strange thing in the letter——

"In the spring of the 24th year of Yuanping, on the ninth day of the twentieth month, a pale man came to pray in the temple of the foolish brother."

"This man's clothes are very expensive, but his expression is flustered and confused, and there is a faint strange smell about him. Brother Yu has a kind heart at the moment, and he is not greedy for money, so he kindly asked him what he is asking for."

"This person said that he was busy with spring planting all day and missed the time to go home, so he took a small road along the Lancang River, heard the sound of water near the river, and saw a cloud of chaotic shadows hiding in the water, and called himself the Boss of the Lancang River, and begged for food from this person. People are afraid of strange powers and confused spirits, so they flee in the wilderness."

"For the next two days, every time a dog, hog, chicken, or dolphin went missing, the people were very afraid, thinking that He Bo was resentful, so he begged my foolish brother to open the altar and expel that He Bo."

"It's just that my foolish brother practiced the method for three days in a row, but he didn't see any trace of He Bo. He thought it was a gangster in the same village, so he gave up and didn't think about it three days later."

"I went back to Lishui County to see him again, but he categorically denied the matter of Hebo. The fishy smell on his body was getting worse. The statue of Xuanjun worshiped at home was also replaced by the old man with the body of a fish with six beards. It is expected that there is a fish demon. , under the guise of He Bo's name, to do things that deceive the world."

The latter words are basically empty bragging.

Li Yan could tell at a glance that the easy life of these years had made the other party lose his aggressiveness, and he didn't even dare to search for the suspected fish monster.

He was also afraid that the other party would turn his anger on him, so he asked the sect for help.

According to the routine, he should have gone to Qingyang Temple first and asked about the details of the fish demon's troubles.

It's just that it's getting late, and the gate of Shuofang City has already been closed, but Li Yan can only go straight to Lishui County to inquire about it, so that he can get a better idea.

To avoid partial listening is dark.

Passing the village entrance, Li Yan was thinking about how to talk to someone to ask about the family's situation, when he suddenly saw a farmer hobbling with a hoe on a small road not far away, and a thought suddenly occurred to him.

He took the initiative to greet the other party, but before he was three feet away, Li Yan suddenly bowed his head and said:
"Shan Fushou, a poor Taoist, went to Xuan Xuan, traveled all the way through the treasure land, and saw that there was no inn in a few miles around here, so I wanted to stay with my husband for one night. I don't know if Shan Fushou can do it conveniently?"

The person who came was about 50 to [-] years old, with dark skin, thick hands and calluses between the fingers. He looked like a farmer who was used to doing coolies.

As if he didn't expect a figure to appear in front of him suddenly, the old man was startled, and subconsciously raised his hoe in his hand as a defensive gesture.

Yong Guo respected Taoism, and he saw clearly that the speaker was a little Taoist priest with delicate features, so he just let go of his guard.

"Although the family is not rich, it is not short of food and clothing. If the Taoist priest does not dislike the simple food and drink, then go home with the old man and me."

With a smile on his face, the old man clasped his hands together in return, and said warmly.

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, then there will be work. Shanfu Shouzhai has a kind heart, and there will be good rewards in the future."

It's done!
A trace of joy flashed across Li Yan's eyebrows, and he bowed again to express his thanks.

Along the way, the two of them chatted one after another.

"The Taoist priest should be from Qingyang Temple, right?"

The old man glanced at the handsome little Taoist beside him, and suddenly asked slyly.

"How does a layman know!"

Li Yan had a surprised expression, pretending to be inexperienced.

"By the way, I haven't asked the layman's name yet."

Realizing that the old man was no longer on guard against him, Li Yan intentionally drew closer.

"You can't be a layman, if your surname is Gao, because you are the fourth eldest in this generation, the old man is honored as the fourth uncle by the villagers, and the Taoist leader can call me the fourth eldest Gao."

"As for why the old man knew the origin of the Taoist priest, it is naturally because the Taoist priest of Qingyang Temple came to our village a few days ago and performed rituals for three whole days."

Gao Laosi repeatedly said that he did not dare to make false claims.

Although Li Yan claimed to be no more than a child, his graceful demeanor could not deceive others, and the old man's voice became more respectful unconsciously.

I learned from the four elders that because the vast majority of people within a radius of ten miles have the Gao surname, this village is also called Gaojia Village, and the neighbors in the village are more or less related.

The old man's house is at the west end of the village. There are three thatched huts with one entrance and one exit, where he, his wife and two sons live.

Mr. Gao is forty-two this year, and the two brothers were born in their prime of life. Now they are both married and established businesses, and they each have grandchildren for the old man.

When it comes to grandson, the old man is clearly interested and talks a lot more than before.

The old man these days is nothing more than wishing to have his grandson.

Li Yan could patiently listen to the old man showing off his pair of grandchildren, which naturally made old man Gao feel a lot closer.

After chatting for a while, Li Yan pretended not to mention the rich man who asked Daoist Qingxu to do something, but old man Gao just sneered.

"Just the prodigal son of the donkey in the second year of high school, who got his evil money from nowhere, and pretended to be like a dog."

"A year ago, his family was so poor that they couldn't get rid of the pot. If it wasn't for my mother's stubborn stop, he might even sell his ancestral house."
