Immortal, my aptitude is mediocre

Chapter 89 Temple
Four Nine Cities.

The majestic and flat land is as majestic and majestic as the great mountains of Heishan, and a big river flows inside, which originates from a Longjiao mountain. It is really magnificent.

"The layout here is not bad."

Chen Sheng, who was sitting on the white crane, floated over, his eyes drooping down, revealing a look of astonishment.

The layout of Sijiu City has a feeling of a blessed place, that is, the concentration of spiritual energy is not high, otherwise there must be someone who has established a sect here.

"There are a lot of monks, there seem to be one or two in the Foundation Establishment Realm, they are deeply hidden and cannot be identified."

Green Bead is a monk in the Foundation Establishment Realm, with a keen sense of consciousness, she has caught the aura of many monks in Sijiu City, one or two of which are hidden deep, too far apart, and she can't accurately detect them.

"Is it also for the inheritance of the second-level alchemist?"

Chen Sheng pondered for a while, then quickly ignored it, and said, "There are still two or three days before the auction starts, so find a place to live first."

The two went down to Sijiu City, and when they looked up, they were tall wooden buildings, densely populated and really bustling.

"Red Line Building!"

Lu Zhu's eyes swept away, and there were stereotyped buildings everywhere, so he had to find a random restaurant to live in.

Immediately, she saw the name on a certain plaque, and her heart was moved immediately.

"This name is also quite to my liking."

Chen Sheng probably guessed what Luzhu was thinking, the marriage of thousands of miles was linked by a thread, and there was a red thread between the two.

With this kind of thinking, if you meet today, you won't be able to leave it behind.

"You two distinguished guests, are you staying at the hotel?"

In the Red Line Building, the shopkeeper is a rich old man, sitting there, looking a little warm.

Hearing the movement, he glanced casually, then his expression changed, a smile appeared on his face, he grabbed the servant, and rushed to receive him.

"A room is better."

Chen Sheng nodded slightly, as a greeting.

This action made the shopkeeper overwhelmed and became cautious.

Seeing this, he stopped talking nonsense and said what he needed directly.

"The room at Tianzi No. [-] is vacant. I guarantee it will be the best. I'll take the two of you there right away."

The shopkeeper walked in front and led Chen and Sheng to the front of Room No. [-] in Tianzi.

This is a very nice room with a good view. Through the window, you can see the big river and mountains, as well as the bustling market, and feel the breath of mortals.

If you want to be clean, close the doors and windows, and a simple sound insulation array will appear to shield the outside noise.

"good."

Chen and Sheng went in and looked around, and they were very satisfied.

"You two, I'm stepping back, just let me know if I have something to say."

After being praised, a smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face, and there was a touch of relief.

Before leaving, he kept telling him that he would go to the counter to give orders if he had something to do, and when he got the promise, he retreated lightly.

"A cultivator who plays with the world of mortals."

Chen Sheng could tell right away that the shopkeeper was an immortal cultivator, whose realm was not too low, and who was at the peak of the fifth level of Qi refining.

Such a person, in the dynasties of the world, high officials and generous salaries are easily available, but it is really strange to come to open a restaurant.

"Eternal life is a dream. In his eyes, prosperity and wealth are just passing by. It's better to live a more relaxed life."

Luzhu knows the thoughts of such people, and has already taken lightly on things on the material level.

Longevity is impossible, so we can only pursue peace of mind.

Perhaps, the other party likes this kind of life.

"Shopkeeper, you are an expert at the fifth level of Qi refining, how can you compete with me for a job?"

Here, when the boy saw the shopkeeper coming down, he felt aggrieved and worried. Judging by the rhythm, he was afraid that he would go to the cashier to check out and leave.

Didn't it mean that all immortal cultivators are superior?

How can she be so proficient in the front and back of the saddle!
"That's an expert, much better than me."

The shopkeeper usually treats people mildly, and he doesn't show his prestige to the servant, so he explained the reason for it.

The man and the woman had a restrained aura. He didn't know what level of cultivation they were in, but with that kind of demeanor and calmness, they were not simple characters at first glance.

Hold it carefully, it's always right.

"It seems that the operation of Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce has been quite successful this time, attracting so many monks and masters."

The boy has been in the store for several years, and with the guidance of the shopkeeper, he has learned about some immortal cultivators in Forty-Nine City.

The inheritance of the second-tier alchemist was extremely precious. The Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce released it reluctantly, but it really caught a big fish and brought together many immortal cultivators.

After this time, the influence of Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce will be further improved.

"not necessarily."

The shopkeeper shook his head.

He is from Sijiu City. He left after cultivating Taoism as a young man, and came back in his later years. He knows that there are some secrets in it.

"Boss, what else is there besides this?"

The boy asked curiously.

"Has the room been cleaned? Have the ingredients for the back kitchen been prepared? They will chatter all day long."

This time, the shopkeeper showed some dignity and asked questions for a while, so that the boy didn't dare to talk anymore, so he quickly picked up the broom and went straight to the corridor.

At night, Chen Sheng and Luzhu didn't refine their qi, but slept in each other's arms, like a mortal couple.

Both are familiar with each other's existence.

time lapse.

The sun in the sky gradually turned, and the sparkling and extremely warm sound on the big river spread in all directions.

When Chen Sheng got up, he saw the picturesque side of the world.

Also, the bustling flow of people converged to one place and headed towards the Longjiao Mountain.

"Shopkeeper, what kind of ordinary people are going to the mountains."

When they went downstairs, Chen Sheng asked about it.

"They are going to worship Linglong Niangniang Temple and ask for fish charms."

The shopkeeper didn't dare to be perfunctory, but explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

April [-]th is Linglong Empress Day.

On this day, men, women and children in the city will go to Longjiao Mountain to worship the Linglong Empress in the temple and ask for fish charms.

Then at night, put the begged fish charm on the lantern, and flow down the waves of the Xilong River, implying a long-term good luck for the family, no disease, no disaster, and a happy marriage.

"Sir, let's also go to pay respects to Linglong Niangniang Temple."

Hearing this, Lu Zhu's eyes lit up, and the Linglong Empress's Day was too suitable for her taste.

Blessed things are her favorite.

"Cultivators go to worship gods?!"

There was a trace of surprise in the shopkeeper's eyes. As immortal cultivators, they are more powerful than the statues in mortal temples.

Where is it used to seek foreign objects.

"You know, this is a kind of spiritual sustenance."

Chen Sheng was a little bit dumbfounded. Immortal cultivators possess great strength and know the world well. They know that there are no gods in the world, and worshiping gods is useless.

It's just that the ignorance of mortals has been regarded as a kind of spiritual sustenance, and it has continued to this day.

"Isn't that bad?"

Green Pearl asked back.

That is to bless the health of the family and the happiness of marriage.

It is also good to seek comfort.

"Go, let's go!"

Chen Sheng seldom refuted Luzhu, what she said was what it was, and it was the same this time.

In this way, there were two young figures among the bustling crowd on the street.

Luzhu sold an umbrella at will, and used it to shade the sun like a mortal girl. She was very happy all the way.

Chen Sheng smiled gently, remembering this day forever.

Longjiao Mountain.

The height is not more than a hundred feet, the mountain is flat and there is no danger. The mountain path is made of stone steps, which is very convenient.

Families, couples, crowded.

Chen Sheng and Luzhu gathered together in the crowd, feeling a little unremarkable, and after spending more than half an hour, they finally saw Linglong Niangniang Temple.

The temple is not new and does not occupy a large area, but it can be seen that the beams and stones are top-notch and can last for thousands of years.

There is a big cauldron in the hall, surrounded by clouds and smoke, and the burning incense twinkles like stars in the sky, innumerable.

In the middle and inside, there is a clay sculpture in the shape of a fairy, and there is a temple next to it, which is very old.

Chen Sheng looked at it, and he knew it in his heart. There was no trace of extraordinaryness. The statue was made of clay, and Miao Zhu was an ordinary old man.

This place is caused by folk beliefs.

Some people agree with him in this point of view.

That is a scholar.

"Your old thinking is useless. There is no god in this world. It is better to rely on yourself than to ask for help. I will take you to grab the medicine."

The scholar tried to persuade the village girl in front of him, who was also his daughter-in-law.

If you are sick, you can take medicine, but the gods in the temple will not help.

On the contrary, if you smoke too much incense, it will hurt your lungs.

As a patient, I shouldn't come to such a cloudy and smoky place.

"Take medicine and take medicine, no matter how much medicine you take, it may not be good."

The village girl never loved the scholar's husband-in-law, she had the demeanor of someone who was married to a bright matchmaker, and insisted: "Miss Linglong has great magic power and will protect me."

She didn't really believe in gods with all her heart, but this disease was like a gangrene, and it was hard to find the root cause. It came back and forth, and she took too many medicines, but it was useless.

"That's a clay sculpture and wood sculpture, how can I bless you."

The scholar retorted.

"You don't understand, Lady Linglong has always existed in Sijiu City, but Xilong River has not been flooded for 800 years, the weather is good, every household can eat, and it also gives you the opportunity to study. "

The village girl was not polite at all, counted the reasons in detail, and then accused, said: "You have read the book and understood the truth, but you come to slander Linglong empress, this is wrong."

The Linglong Empress has a long history and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people here for hundreds of thousands of years. No matter how stubborn the old master is, she must be respected.

She didn't believe it, but she didn't believe it either.

"The absence of floods is climate change, and it has nothing to do with Linglong."

The scholar talked about the principles of floods and climate. Although these cannot be touched, they are real.

"It doesn't matter, then why did Sijiu City become better after Linglong Empress appeared?"

The village girl insisted.

Chen Sheng heard it interestingly, but he had his own opinion, and said: "Maybe a certain Taoist friend passing by couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he used magical powers to regulate the wind and rain. Later, people felt her and built temples." , and after hundreds of years of evolution, it has become what it is today.”

In the cultivation of immortals, people compete with the sky for fate, there is no time to delay, just take care of themselves.

But it is undeniable that in this fairy world, there are still a few sages who care about the common people in the world. They use the power of control to clarify the changes of the earth's atmosphere for the living people, separate the yin and yang, and rebuild the mountains and rivers.

After this kind of person died, the common people enshrined him, and the worship and belief continued for thousands of years, and he became a god.

"I'm furious."

While thinking about it, the village girl couldn't argue, and became very angry for a while, and coughed a few times because of the root cause of her illness.

"Well, you're right,"

Seeing this, the scholar shut up, and he was convinced, cautiously, not daring to jump a bit.

It can be seen that he still loves this daughter-in-law very much.

"Brother and husband, they are really role models in the world."

Chen Sheng found it strange that there were differences in the cognitive views of these two people, but their bumps and bumps did not hurt their feelings, and they became more and more harmonious.

This is rare, presumably it is a marriage with a story.

"Let the brothers laugh."

The scholar looked sideways, saw Chen Sheng, and was amazed by his temperament.

It's not that the person who came here has the appearance of heaven and man, but that kind of demeanor, which is indifferent with a hint of heaviness, like the aroma of wine after precipitation, very flavorful.

"How did you two get together?"

Luzhu looked at this mortal couple and could see that they were very happy, but the combination of identities was very strange.

Generally speaking, these are not sustainable.

"Well, we are neighbors, and we almost starved to death when we were studying. She only lived for ten days and half a month, and she carried a small half bag of grain to support me."

The scholar told an old story. This is a life-saving childhood sweetheart. Although he was a little short on knowledge, he never disliked it.

He didn't eat less of the bags of food back then, and he was gagged long ago.

"Not ashamed."

The village girl is not really unreasonable, she also went out to pray for God because she was anxious about the disease.

Hearing the scholar talk about what happened back then, he was a little shy, and stood behind him, blushing, and lowered his head.

"The couple are very affectionate, please treat them."

Luzhu was very moved. Ever since she got acquainted with Chen Sheng, what she hated the most was the love and hatred between men and women.

Can help a hand.

With Chen Sheng's alchemy practice, healing the injuries of ordinary people is completely easy.

"Brother, do you know the technique of Naqihuang?"

The scholar is also very concerned about the word "doctor", so that his poor wife can be cured.

Over the years, I don't know how many medicines I have asked for, but they all returned disappointed.

Even so, he never gave up.

"As far as the human world is concerned, it is quite powerful."

Chen Sheng told the truth, glanced at the village girl, and said, "This girl is due to blood stagnation, which was caused by being too tired before."

It's no wonder that ordinary doctors can't cure it. This kind of disease is left over from too much consumption of the body.

Even if some can be made up later, it will never return to the original appearance.

"That's right, that's right, there is a cure."

The scholar said excitedly.

After his wife married him, she lived in poverty for a period of time. Although she is in her early years now, it is really suffering. She takes care of the family every day and subsidizes the family.

If you overwork, you will fall to the root of the disease.

Chen Sheng saw the root cause at a glance, which made him feel a little more convinced.

"Brother, trust me, take this medicine powder with water, once a day, drink it in three days, and you'll be fine."

In the storage bag, Chen Sheng found a elixir for healing injuries, broke it into powder, put it in a jade bottle, and handed it to the scholar.

Prescribe the right medicine, or panacea, three days is enough.

"How much? I'll give it."

The scholar is in a hurry and wants to pay.

He may not believe in this medicine, but as long as there is a slight possibility, he will try it.

"No need."

Chen Sheng smiled, turned around with Lu Zhu, and disappeared into Xi Ran's crowd, never to be seen again.

after that.

Chen Sheng and Lu Zhu entered the temple and worshiped Empress Linglong.

Chen Sheng was a superficial believer, and he bowed his head to salute, as if he had met him.

Luzhu was very serious, offering incense and praying, and even asking the old woman for advice and worshiping God for details, without the slightest hint of irritability.

Even, there is a little bit of joy.

"Old man, ask for a fish charm."

After worshiping the gods, Chen Sheng begged for the fish charm.

This is an essential part of the Linglong Empress Festival.

"One by one."

Green Pearl added.

"Young master is a kind person, good people will be rewarded."

Miao Zhu is an old man. He has seen all kinds of people, and the high-ranking officials in the city have also received them. He can see that Chen Sheng and Lu Zhu are extraordinary, and they should be those high-ranking immortal cultivators.

This kind of person is indifferent to life, detached from things, and kind and kind like Chen Sheng, which is very rare.

"Maybe."

Chen Sheng smiled back.

He never felt that he was detached, that birth, old age, sickness and death were beyond his control, and he also had a lot of helplessness.

"The fish talisman of Empress Linglong will protect you both."

Miao Zhu took out two fish charms and said as usual, obviously thinking that immortal cultivators would not believe it.

"bless!"

The exception was Luzhu. She gave Chen Sheng a fish talisman. One of them was used by herself and she held it with both hands.
