And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 12

"This……"

Seen by Chen Yuan's eyes, Xu San didn't dare to say yes or no.

Seeing himself like this scared the craftsman named Xu San.

Chen Yuan was a little dumbfounded for a while, and he said sincerely:
"I invited Mr. to come here, one is to solve the confusion in my heart about Frog Song, and the other is purely to make friends with Mr."

Seeing Chen Yuan's expression, Xu San realized that he was treating a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain.

"I'm taking the liberty to misunderstand the meaning of the Taoist priest. I hope the Taoist priest will not blame me."

Xu San took it back and held it up to the book in front of Chen Yuan.

Chang Kongzi who was next to him saw this scene, but secretly shook his head.

He didn't really like Xu San's reaction.

If he were replaced by Xu San, as long as Chen Yuan expressed a little interest in this frog taming technique, he would sincerely offer the frog taming technique with both hands.

He wouldn't be like Xu San, who thought that Chen Yuan had taken a fancy to his frog taming skills, and because he was afraid of Chen Yuan's identity, he handed over his frog taming skills.

As a disciple of Immortal Chen Yuan, it is his blessing to be able to see someone's things.

This is equivalent to forging a karma with Chen Yuan. Once Chen Yuan is successful in practice, and even one day... if he is enough to become an immortal, it is equivalent to forging an immortal relationship with an immortal.

As long as Chen Yuan makes a little return, it will be enough for this person to benefit endlessly.

It's a pity that the folk artist in front of him doesn't know Chen Yuan's identity at all, so he can only miss the opportunity in vain without knowing it.

After several cups of tea, Xu San offered to take his leave and leave.

Although I know that Chen Yuan is not coveting his frog taming skill, he is just curious about the skill of "knocking frogs to listen to music".

But Xu Sanyi came to feel ashamed for himself and misunderstood Chen Yuan.

Secondly, it was getting late at this time, the sun was setting in the sky, and it would be dusk soon.

After declining Chen Yuan and Chang Kongzi's invitation to stay in the temple for dinner, Xu San hurriedly left Luxian Temple.

As for this folk artist named Xu San, who has the skill of knocking frogs and listening to music, Chen Yuan didn't pay too much attention to it, just regarded it as a small episode in his life.

……

It's business as usual.

In the practice of "Taiyi Jinhua Tenet" and "Fetal Breath Jue", another day passed without knowing it.

At noon that day, Chen Yuan was practicing in a room in the backyard.

Miao Zhuchang Kongzi hurried to the backyard room from the front hall, and shouted beside the bed:
"Fellow Daoist, a distinguished guest has come and is waiting outside the temple, insisting on visiting Fellow Daoist."

Hearing the movement, he woke up from the bed, opened his eyes and felt a little sleepy. Chen Yuan, who was practicing the "Fetal Breath Jue" in his dream just now, looked puzzled. He knew no one else in Lujiang City except Qin Jiangyue. .

But Qin Jiangyue didn't know that he came to Lujiang City.

Chen Yuan asked Miao Zhuchang Kongzi: "Is the person here a man or a woman?"

Chang Kongzi replied: "The person here is a middle-aged gentleman, like a Confucian scholar, wearing a long gown and a Confucian crown on his head."

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, didn't even get up from the bed, turned over and said: "I don't know the visitor, please Miao Zhu to refuse the visitor's visit for me."

Seeing Chen Yuan's refusal, but Miao Zhuchang Kongzi did not leave, he said solemnly: "This guest is of extraordinary status, fellow Taoist, I'm afraid you have to meet him once. The other party claims to be Duke Wen Qing."

Chen Yuan remained indifferent: "Who is Duke Wen Qing, I have never heard of it."

Chang Kongzi quickly explained:
"Mr. Wen Qing, whose real name is Jia Shedao, was a famous Confucianist in the former dynasty. Later, he was transferred to Luzhou Prefecture as the prefect of Luzhou. During his tenure, he was a clean and honest official and was deeply loved by the local people. Later, he died of illness in Lujiang City."

"The imperial court was grateful for his kindness, and named him the Lujiang City God, and the local people built a temple for him. Since then, the Lujiang City God Temple has become the most prosperous temple in the hundred miles of Lujiang City, and it has been maintained until now. Even Luxian Temple Can't compare."

Chen Yuan understood why Chang Kongzi was so nervous, that is to say, the one who was waiting outside the temple gate was the City God of Lujiang City who wanted to visit him.

In this way, Chen Yuan had to seriously consider the visit from people outside the temple.

Chen Yuan thought for a while and asked Chang Kongzi: "Miao Zhu, do you know how this City God is viewed among the people?"

After finishing speaking, Chen Yuan added: "I'm talking about the reputation of the City God after his death, not the merits of being beautified by later generations as you just said."

Chang Kongzi smiled wryly and said: "Fellow Daoist, how does this old Taoist know? The one outside the door is also an earthly god. I am a mere mortal, how can I know the reputation of a god?"

But after he finished speaking, Chang Kongzi immediately realized that he seemed a little too ignorant.

He changed his tone again and said: "Although the old Taoist is a mortal, as the priest of Luxian Temple, he can finally know some news that ordinary people don't. It takes 300 years for Lujiang City to save the people of Luzhou Prefecture from evil spirits."

It was the first time Chen Yuan heard people talk about demons and ghosts, and he asked curiously: "According to Miaozhu, do the people outside Luzhou Prefecture have a miserable life?"

Chang Kongzi shook his head:
"It's more than miserable. Luzhou Prefecture is located in the southwest. The four prefectures of Shouzhou, Chuzhou, Yangzhou, and Bozhou that are adjacent to Luzhou Prefecture can encounter ghosts and monsters during the day. It's okay in the city, and even in the wilderness. I can see the picture of ten rooms and nine empty spaces after the demons have passed."

"In comparison, the lives of the people in Luzhou Prefecture are much better."

Chen Yuan said thoughtfully: "Then it seems that this Lord City God is really a very capable earth god."

Originally, because of what happened to him, he was blaming the city god in his heart for the incident of cultivating animal art monsters. He felt that the other party did not manage the Luzhou mansion well, resulting in the death of more than a hundred people.

Now it seems that it is not the reason of the other party, but the reason of this world.

"Since this is the case, it seems that this Lujiang City God has to meet, please Miaozhu to invite this person."

Chen Yuan turned over, got up from the bed and sat up.

In fact, he is also very curious, wanting to see what the gods in this world look like.

"Fellow Daoist wait a moment."

Seeing that Chen Yuan agreed to meet, Chang Kongzi was relieved.

Although Chen Yuan is a disciple of the Immortal, that Duke Wen Qing is the City God of Lujiang City, the capital of Luzhou Prefecture, after all, and his status is equal to that of the City God of the Mansion. It's better to see the other side.

Afterwards, Chang Kongzi left to deliver the letter, and Chen Yuan put on his shoes and socks, adjusted his Taoist robe, and came to the courtyard to wait.

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a blue gown, wearing a Confucian crown, with two sleek long beards under his jaw, elegant temperament, and a hint of power between his brows, walked away from the outside under the leadership of Miao Zhu Chang Kongzi Come in.

When he saw Chen Yuan, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because he could see at a glance that sitting under the eaves of the courtyard, this young Taoist priest wearing a dark blue Taoist robe was full of energy and energy in his body, he was completely perfect, and his foundation was extremely deep.

Even if you don't practice in the future, you can easily live past a hundred years old.

Such a profound meditation practice would only appear in those old Taoist priests, but now it appears in a young Taoist priest who is less than ten years old, which is really unimaginable.

"Jia Shedao, the city god of Lujiang, has seen the young master, dare to ask the young master's name?"

After the middle-aged man took a deep breath, he strengthened his inner thoughts for a while, and bowed his hands to Chen Yuan.

"My surname is Chen Mingyuan. If the City God wishes, you can call me fellow daoist."

Chen Yuan got up and asked Jia Shedao to take a seat under the eaves.

"I can't be a young master and a fellow Taoist. I'd better call you Mr. Chen."

Jia Shedao hastily refused.

"Those who set foot on the road of practice are all of the same way, and they can all be called friends."

Chen Yuan insisted.

"It's good that those who embark on the road of cultivation are all of the same way. Since the young master said so, then forgive me for taking the liberty."

Jia Shedao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he finally agreed after a compliment.

"Take the liberty to come here today, please don't blame fellow Taoists."

After Chang Kongzi served tea to the two, Jia She apologized.

"It's no surprise that there are distinguished guests here."

Chen Yuan laughed.

Although this Duke Wenqing most likely came to visit because of his status as an immortal disciple.

However, if most people want the City God in front of them to come to their door, I am afraid that the other party will not bother to come to the door.

"Fellow Daoist, in the night three days ago, I felt a huge amount of pure spiritual energy gathering here, and those who can gather such a large amount of pure spiritual energy usually have obtained the true teachings of Taoism, or even the practice of immortals. By."

"And in this Luxian Temple, there used to be only Changkong Zimiao Zhu, but now not only is Daoist living in Luxian Temple, seeing how respectful Daoist Changkongzimiao Zhu is, is it possible that Daoist is a disciple of Lu Xiangong?"

Jia She said straight to the point, observing Chen Yuan's expression while speaking.

He sent a messenger to observe around Luxian Temple for two or three days, and learned that Luxian Temple, which originally only had Miaozhu, not only suddenly had a young Taoist in the past two days.

As Chang Kongzi, who is the priest of Lu Xian Temple, he is very respectful to this young Taoist priest, so he knew that his guess was indistinguishable.

Today, he took the time to pay a visit at home. He didn't beat around the bush, but directly asked out his doubts.

"Master Chenghuang, my master's surname is indeed Lu. As for whether it is Lu Xiangong, I don't know."

Chen Yuan responded.

His master, Lu Yan, indeed only said that this temple belonged to him, but never said that he was Lu Xiangong.

"I see."

Hearing what Chen Yuan said, Jia Shedao knew that the young Taoist priest in front of him, if not expected, should be Lu Xiangong's disciple.

"Lujiang City God Jia She said, pay homage to the disciple of the Immortal."

Then Jia Shedao immediately turned serious, stood up from his seat, and saluted Chen Yuan solemnly.

Immortals have a noble status, they are immortal, but they live freely in the world.

In contrast, as the City God of Lujiang City, the capital of Luzhou Prefecture, although his status is equivalent to that of the City God of the Mansion, he is a deity of the earth, but he is subject to the divine position, talisman, incense and merit.

So let alone a real immortal, even if he meets an immortal disciple, he still needs to treat each other with courtesy.

"You are too polite, City God."

Chen Yuan hurriedly helped Jia Shedao up.

"Since fellow daoist is Lu Xiangong's disciple, he is eligible to attend the banquet held at noon two days later, and please come to the appointment on time, fellow daoist."

After chatting for a while, Jia Shedao suddenly took out a bronzing invitation card with blue patterns from his sleeve robe, and handed it to Chen Yuan with both hands.

"The banquet?"

Chen Yuan didn't reach out to pick it up, and said with a surprised expression.

"That's right. Fellow Daoist has a romantic relationship. He joined the sect of an immortal. He is very talented. He has already achieved a great deal of static energy at a young age. His vitality is full and perfect, and his foundation is extremely deep. However, it is most taboo to practice behind closed doors. Why don't you get to know some fellow Daoists?" , Discussing the Dao together is also beneficial to the cultivation of fellow Daoists."

Jia Shedao advised Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was a little tempted when he heard the words.

Although he occasionally got a fairy fate and embarked on the road of cultivation, he still has a good cultivation base.

But apart from his master Lu Yan, and Mr. Huolong who met in Taibai Mountain, these two immortals, he has never seen other practitioners.

"By the way, there are also Mr. Huolong, those two Taoist boys."

Chen Yuan secretly said in his heart.

Chen Yuan asked Jia She, "Who are at the banquet?"

Jia She said: "There is the Lord of the land who I have made friends with, the river gods in the Lujiang River outside the Lujiang City, and the mountain gods of several mountains within three hundred miles around the Lujiang City, and some folks who practice well. Cheese……"

Chen Yuan thought for a moment, then reached out and took this invitation: "So, I will accept this invitation."

Seeing that his hard work was not in vain, Jia She said with a big laugh, "Okay, after that two days, City God's Mansion is waiting for you, fellow Taoist."

Then Jia Shedao said again: "Two days later, at noon, I will send a messenger to pick up fellow daoist on time. Fellow daoist, just make preparations and go to the banquet."

After finishing speaking, he did not give Chen Yuan a chance to refuse, and left directly.
