And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 24
"It's you."

Chen Yuan looked surprised when he saw Xu San.

"Daoist, I went to Luxian Temple to look for you before, but the Taoist priest said that you went to the banquet and slept soundly for nearly a month without waking up."

Xu San invited Chen Yuan to an empty corner, and he said respectfully.

"That's right, it's true. I just woke up not long ago. What are you looking for?"

Chen Yuan asked Xu San.

At this time, he had already given up on making friends with Xu San.

Although the other party misunderstood that he was greedy for his frog taming technique, it was normal for the other party to be a little wary of others when he was out in the world.

Because of this, he didn't turn around and leave.

"Daoist, I was confused before, and I misunderstood the Taoist with the heart of a villain. Now I am in trouble, and only the Taoist can save me. I also ask the Taoist to ignore the past and help me through this catastrophe. .”

Xu San said with a sincere expression.

Chen Yuan frowned and asked: "You first tell me what you need my help for, and I will do what I can. If I can help, you and I have some fate, and I will not refuse."

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't say anything to death, Xu San breathed a sigh of relief, and then he explained the cause and effect of the incident:
"We artisans who travel the rivers and lakes, to put it bluntly, are all looking for a bite to eat, but since ancient times, colleagues have been jealous and have been enemies."

"In this city of Lujiang, there is a scholar named Dong, who has the ability to imitate birds' language so vividly."

"A month ago, he saw me performing the skill of "knocking frogs to listen to music" on the street, and laughed at my skills as a child's play. Then, in the public, he imitated the sound of me knocking on the frog's back with his mouth. For a while Unable to tell the truth from the fake, it won the applause of the whole house."

Chen Yuan listened fascinatedly and asked: "And then?"

He thought that according to Xu San's skills, he could be regarded as a rare and strange person among folk craftsmen.

Now it seems that is not the case.

There are many strange people in the world, so this Xu San met an opponent in Lujiang City.

Such manipulation by the other party can be said to have ruined Xu San's job.

Xu Sandao:
"By relying on this matter, the other party can be said to have ruined my job. Naturally, I can't swallow this breath, but I have no choice but to be inferior to others, so I can only admit that I am unlucky."

"So I set up a table in the largest restaurant in Lujiang City, Baihe Tower, and prepared good food and wine, hoping that the other party will show their respect."

"Who would have thought that the scholar would be very rude when he arrived, and bluntly told me to get the hell out of Lujiang City."

"Originally, wherever I go with my skills, I can get a bite to eat, but if I leave in such a disheveled manner, I'm afraid I will become a laughing stock in the world in the future."

"Later, I performed several times in Lujiang City. Who knew that the scholar would show up every time, imitate my performance in bird language and smash my stall, making it impossible for me to continue performing."

Chen Yuan frowned and asked, "Do you want me to help you get revenge?"

If Xu San dared to make such a request, he would immediately turn around and leave without saying a word.

To put it bluntly, this matter was just a personal grievance between Xu San and the scholar named Dong, and Chen Yuan had no reason to stand up for Xu San at all.

Seemingly seeing what Chen Yuan was thinking, Xu San quickly explained: "That's not the case."

Then Xu San said again:

"After seeing it that day, after thinking about it carefully, I knew that the Taoist priest is not a mortal, and I am afraid that he is an expert with magic skills."

"This is a personal grievance between me and the scholar surnamed Dong. I don't expect the Taoist priest to take the lead for me. I just hope that the Taoist priest can persuade the scholar surnamed Dong to stop staring at me and resolve this grievance." .”

After Chen Yuan finished listening, he realized that it was Xu San who was frightened by the scholar named Dong.

So I want myself to mediate this grievance, so that the scholar surnamed Dong will stop staring at him.

Immediately, the deeply frowned brows began to relax.

At this time Xu San said again:

"Of course, Taoist priest, please rest assured. I will not let the Taoist priest contribute in vain. I know that yellow and white things may not be appreciated by the Taoist priest. By chance, I once got a copy of "The Travels of Wujiao Zhenren". It is a story of a real person traveling in China, and there are all kinds of unimaginable, ghosts and strange things in it, which may be useful to the Taoist priest, and I am willing to give this book to the Taoist priest.”

While speaking, Xu San took out a thread-bound ancient book half a finger thick from his arms.

The cover is famous:

"Travel Notes of a Real Man in Wujiao".

Chen Yuan took it, and casually flipped through a few pages in his hand.

I saw that what was recorded in it were many unimaginable, spooky and strange things that this real Wujiao told others about, or witnessed with his own eyes.

There are also a few words, which refer to the part of immortals and gods.

After Chen Yuan finished reading it, his eyes lit up.

What Xu San said was right, if Xu San took out yellow and white things and asked Chen Yuan to help with this matter, Chen Yuan probably would not agree.

Not to mention that he himself knows the alchemy technique, even though he would not use the alchemy technique easily because of the warning of his master Lu Yan, the hundreds of elders he brought with him when he went out did not spend much now.

He is not short of money.

At least not for now.

But Xu San took this "Wujiao Zhenren's Travel Notes" as a reward, which really made Chen Yuan itch.

From Chen Yuan's point of view, although the stories recorded in this book cannot be distinguished from the real ones, they are very similar to the popular novels of the previous life, and they are excellent things to pass the time.

"Okay, I'll help you with this."

Chen Yuan thought for a while, and agreed.

When he returned "The Travels of Wujiao Zhenren" to Xu San, Xu San pushed it back with his hand.

"Daoist, since you agreed to this matter, you can accept this "Wujiao Zhenren's Travel Notes". I believe that as a human being, the Taoist will not just accept things and do nothing."

Xu Sandao.

Seeing what Xu San said, Chen Yuan put "The Travels of Wujiao Zhenren" into his arms.

"Where does the scholar surnamed Dong live?"

Chen Yuan asked.

"He lives in Yongfu Lane in the west of the city."

Xu San replied.

"I came to Lujiang City this time to visit the prefect of Lujiang. How about I settle this matter for you after the visit is over?"

Chen Yuan looked at the sky and said.

"Of course, after the Taoist priest's visit, you can go to the Temple of the City God, and I will wait for the Taoist priest at the Temple of the City God."

A look of surprise flashed in Xu San's eyes, and he said hastily.

Xu San didn't expect that Chen Yuan would have acquaintance with a prefect.

This made him more determined, his inner thoughts.

After all, the magistrate of a prefecture cannot be seen by ordinary people.

After bidding farewell to Xu San, Chen Yuan asked passers-by to ask the prefect Qin Shouzhi's mansion and the direction of the Qin mansion, and then walked towards the Qin mansion.

Soon, at Sishi, in the middle of the corner, he came to the gate of the Qin Mansion.

Chen Yuan looked at the high-profile mansion in front of him, with stone lions standing in front of the door, green tiles and red walls, and bluestone slabs on the ground.

After confirming that the plaque in front of the door was the word "Qin Mansion", he stepped forward and knocked on the copper ring.

After a while, a small door opened in the middle of the gate, and a servant dressed in servant clothes came out of the small door.

"Who are you looking for?"

The other party looked out the door, and the young Taoist priest who knocked on the door asked cautiously.

They had already received the news in advance that a distinguished guest who had saved the lady's life came to the door today.

"My surname is Chen Mingyuan. Your lady invited me here."

Chen Yuan said calmly.

"You are Mr. Chen Yuan, Mr. Chen? Please wait a moment, I will inform the young lady and the master."

After the servant was stunned for a moment, then he realized that a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, and he immediately turned around and closed the small door.

Not long after, the side door, which Chen Yuan didn't notice at first, opened wide. Qin Jiangyue and a man dressed in brocade clothes and high crowns were tall and thin, with a goatee under their jaws. They looked very handsome. The imposing old man walked out of the mansion surrounded by a group of servants.
