Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 90
Smoke curled up from the bronze cauldron.

There was thunder across the sky in the distance, Chen Yuan bypassed the cauldron and opened the door of the palace to enter, bowed to the six statues as usual, and then asked about the doubts in her heart.

"Second Master, and everyone, something happened last night, which puzzled me."

In the empty hall, Chen Yuan flicked her sleeves and leaned against Guan Yu's altar, and sat down casually on the ground. Her voice reverberated and told the whole story, including the doubts in her heart.

"The Senluo Palace has been opened so far. Except for seeing Zhong Kui's Dharma image in the dream, and the impermanence ecstasy lock last night, I haven't seen him, and no one in the palace has responded. What else is needed? Does the Senluo Palace need more outstanding support? "

Except for Xiang Yu who didn't move, the other five painted statues rolled their eyes and looked at Chen Yuan on the ground neatly.

Guan Yu's Fa Yin sounded from the statue.

"Don't be worried. Heaven, earth, and people are intertwined. No one can have a hell, and no land can measure the heavens. Although the Yin God in the Senluo Temple is rebellious, they will not mess around. You can rest assured."

Chen Yuan got up and snapped her fingers: "Understood! With the words of the second master, Yuan has a bottom line in her heart. When they show up, it's up to them."

Saying that, he walked to the front door, braved the gust of wind and went straight to the Senluo Hall. Before he could get close, a blue-glazed porcelain vase was placed in front of the Senluo Hall.

A gloomy voice floated over.

"The souls of the local people are sent by someone, you should be careful, that person is under the stone tablet of suppressing demons."

Being sent?

The first thing Chen Yuan thought of was Chang Wei from Yongxiang, but he was rejected afterwards. The other party didn't know about his troupe at all, let alone come out to inquire.

According to Chang Wei's booklet, there are such underground abysses in the other five places, and every ten years a big sacrifice is used to feed the demons so that they can't make trouble. There must be someone behind the scenes.

Chun Gu's gang should be the opponent's subordinates before.

'These days, the other party should be trying to find out my origin. After all, Linjiang County established a shrine for me, and it is not difficult to trace the origin.Knowing that I am a puppet to achieve incense, I naturally set my sights on the troupe... If you don't come to me directly, it is probably because there are Tianshi Mansions in the Central Plains and the North, and you dare not take risks and expose yourself! '

'Return the other body in the same way. '

Chen Yuan looked at the porcelain vase in her hand, and handed over the souls of the local people inside to the Tianshi Mansion, just to provide them with clues about the underground monsters, so that those people would have no time to pay attention to the theater troupe.

Taking advantage of this gap, I searched mountains and rivers to see if I could find some spirit trees to change bodies for the second master and the others.

If it is practiced as a magic weapon and then carved into a puppet, will it be even more powerful?
After making up her mind in a short time, Chen Yuan held the porcelain bottle and bowed in the direction of Senluo Hall: "Thank you for telling the local people, but I don't know if you are the seventh master or the eighth master?"

"His last name was Fan."

The gloomy voice came, followed by another sentence in a moment: "...don't burn sandalwood next time, it doesn't taste good."

The moment she finished speaking, Chen Yuan closed her eyes and opened them, and she was already on the bed in the inn. Beside her, the old man was squatting on the bed, with tears on her old face, looking back and forth at herself while sobbing.

"Master, what are you doing?"

"Master, I thought you were gone..." The crazy old man wiped his tears and cried a few times, his face was serious again, and he gestured solemnly: "I'm just talking about what kind of coffin to make for you, and you will come back to life."

"The disciple just slept soundly, but he didn't die. Master doesn't have to panic next time." Chen Yuan said with a smile, and found that she was still holding the small porcelain bottle in her hand. Then she got up from the bed, took the master out of the inn, and walked all the way Rushed to the small courtyard where the Taoist priests stayed in Tianshi Mansion.

The courtyard door opened, and a little Taoist priest in a bun looked behind the door. He knew that the people outside the door had good friends with Qingxu, Mingguang, and Yuchen, but he still had to be wary of evil spirits and fierce cultivation bases. .

"Master Chen Fu, please come in." The little Taoist priest opened the door to let Chen Yuan in, walked to the front to lead the way, and led to the middle hall before leaving.

In the room, there was laughter from Qiaoer. She was wearing a tailor-made placket that reached to her ankles, and she was dancing with two wide sleeves. "Ulala" ran out screaming, looking back from time to time and chasing her bright light. In the middle hall, I suddenly saw Chen Yuan standing at the door with a smile, her eyes bent into crescents, and she let out a crisp cry.

"Big brother!"

"Only Qiao'er dares to be so presumptuous in the Tianshi mansion where all the monsters are afraid." Chen Yuan said with a joking smile, touched the little girl's head, then raised her hand to arch Mingguang who came from the side door, and the latter also Returning the salute with both hands, he then laughed: "Senior Brother Qingxu said that Qiao'er's life is hard, so please take care of it a little more, this lapel was changed from another disciple's cabinet, and it still doesn't fit well after thinking about it, it made friends laugh .”

"What's the joke, I like it too, don't you? Qiaoer."

Chen Yuan pinched the little girl's cheek, and after sitting down with Ming Guang, Qiao Er obediently went to bring two cups of tea, then sat quietly not far away, propped up her small chin, dangling her two little feet, just looking at and talking Chen Yuan.

"This is what killed several people in the theater troupe. Please take a look, Daoist."

In the words, Chen Yuan took out the porcelain bottle, and the Taoist priest Mingguang narrowed his eyes immediately, feeling the strange aura, he took it and looked at it for a moment: "It's so weird, it's very different from ordinary monsters and ghosts, but the underground monster ?”

If it's an ordinary ghost thing, the fellow Daoist Chen in front of him might be punished immediately, so why bother to show it to him.

"Even if it's not an underground monster, it must have something to do with it." Chen Yuan blew on the tea stalk floating in the cup, "I heard that the Celestial Master wanted to track down the monster before, so I happened to start with the monster, but..."

Chen Yuan paused, "However, if I send it here like this, would the Daoist think that I intended to let the two sides fight?"

"No, even if they do, the Celestial Master will still look for the underground monsters! The Celestial Master's Mansion is personally gifted by the court, even if fellow Taoists don't send this thing over, they won't just sit idly by."

Ming Guang put a piece of talisman paper on the porcelain bottle, wrapped it and put it aside. He looked at Chen Yuan and said, "Besides, poor Taoists are human beings. Don't worry about this matter, the underground monsters and celestial masters will unite themselves." The rest of the practitioners will destroy it together."

"As for the monster, I will leave it to the Taoist priests of the Tianshi Mansion."

Chen Yuan got up and cupped her hands towards Ming Guang: "Taking this opportunity, I just happened to walk around."

"That's how it should be. Fellow Daoist leaves, so there will be less trouble."

"What is the meaning of this, Dao Master?"

"If the imperial court wants to establish a shrine for you, it is inevitable that some narrow-minded people will come and disturb fellow Taoists. But these people are not very capable, and they only use some shady methods."

"Hehe, it's just right, there are many ways to hide people's shame."

Ming Guang froze for a moment, thinking of the person in front of him, he knew even more complicated sorcery, so there was really nothing to be afraid of.The two chatted and joked a few more times, then Chen Yuan said goodbye, waved to the reluctant little girl, went back to the inn, called San'er who had settled in another room, and sent him five miles outside the city .

"I can't blame you for this incident. After returning home, I will distribute the silver in the baggage to some family members of the dead helpers. We can't lose them. The rest is enough for you to reorganize a theater troupe and walk outside in the future. Be careful, late at night When you meet beautiful women, children, and scholars, you must be more careful, and it is best to turn around and leave, don't bother."

In the gazebo outside the city, Chen Yuan patted the thin man on the shoulder, accompanied him to the side of the road, and gave another word of advice.

"Also, you have to offer a stick of incense to the wooden carvings with names and surnames in the troupe. If something like this happens again, maybe they can keep you safe."

San'er looked gloomy, and came out in high spirits, but he went back alone, even if the compensation was given to his family, but thinking of the scene of Lao Jiu and his family crying, he felt sad for a while.

He got into a donkey cart, dragged the cart, bowed his hands and said goodbye to Chen Yuan, basked in the sun rising above the clouds, and gradually went to the distance of the official road.

Looking at the donkey cart going away, Chen Yuan shook her head and sighed, she had finally cultivated a person who could spread the story for her, and hoped that after returning, he would not be discouraged by this.

It wasn't until the donkey cart was far away that I couldn't see it. I walked slowly back to the city in the bright sunshine. After two miles, there was the sound of horseshoes approaching from a distance behind me. Chen Yuan glanced back. Walking to the side of the road, several fast horses galloped past him with young men in fluttering robes on their backs.

I don't know if someone sensed that Chen Yuan was a practitioner. He reined in his horse and stopped, turning his head sideways and said, "This fellow Taoist, but you are going to Luodu too?"

"Exactly."

Chen Yuan nodded at him, and glanced at the four people in the group. They were handsome men and women, and they seemed to be disciples of the Dapai traveling together, but they suddenly stopped him, not knowing what was going on.

Over there, the young man on horseback was well-mannered and did not have that high-ranking demeanor. He said with a smile: "That's not like Lu. I heard that the imperial court is going to give a shrine to someone. I'm going to see who it is. In case it's a bluff, Confused Your Majesty, I just took it."

Chen Yuan's eyelids twitched, well, this is to find her.

From the feeling of their qi, they are similar to their own, and two of the women are only in the realm of qi training.Probably because she didn't want to mess with these young and vigorous cultivators, Chen Yuan smiled and said as she walked:

"Whoever the court wants to give it to, it's so interesting."

"Hu people went south, I waited for Lihuo and Juling, and there were many people who helped the people escape. Why did only that person get this honor!" The two men and two women were filled with righteous indignation.

After all, how young is he, how similar to when he was in Canglan before.

Immediately, Chen Yuan shook her head and continued to dissuade.

"Everyone, don't go any further. Traveling mountains and rivers, seeking immortals and seeking Taoism, or benefiting the common people, this is what cultivators do. Why bother with gaining and losing fame and fortune? Instead, you end up with nothing."

A few people over there also nodded.

"What this fellow daoist said was that we almost lost our minds, but we took a sigh of relief and did what we wanted. Don't worry, fellow daoist, we won't hurt others indiscriminately. We're just playing tricks. Let's see how he is."

"Then you guys, do you know what his name is and where is he right now?"

"I know it."

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't want to go with them, and didn't intend to force them to join them, several people clasped their hands together, raised their whips, and rushed to the city ahead.

"Such a lively cultivator is rare..."

With her hands behind her back, Chen Yuan fell behind along the official road, basking in the cool wind blowing in the fields, and walked slowly back to the city.

Soon the sky was slanting down.
