And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 98 People Don't Worship Useless Gods
"They are all raised by the poor, so don't worry."

Chen Yuan sensed the horror in the inn's second shopkeeper and the guests next to him, so Chen Yuan explained to them.

"The store owner can rest assured that these two empty bowls will be bought by the poor."

Chen Yuan was not far away, standing in the counter, the innkeeper who was about thirty years old said.

Innkeeper: ...

Is this what they are worried about?
It's that white mouse the size of a civet cat, okay?
But then the innkeeper, including the waiter, and the guests in the inn all suddenly came to their senses.

Being able to raise this white mouse as big as a civet cat, this young Taoist priest wearing a pure black Taoist robe, carrying a sword box and a sword on his back, is probably a master of Taoism with unique skills and profound Taoism.

"Thank you, Master, for your understanding."

The innkeeper hurriedly thanked him.

He was still thinking just now that after the two bowls were used by dogs and rats, they might no longer be used by humans and had to be thrown away. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan brought it up first.

"It's okay."

Chen Yuan laughed.

While talking, he picked up two signature dishes brought to him by the waiter at the chopsticks shop, put them in his mouth and chewed slowly.

When the shop waiter served the dishes just now, the shop waiter also told Chen Yuan the names of the two dishes.

One is "Linjiang Shrimp" and the other is "Sea Tiger Tail".

The so-called soy tiger tail is a local delicacy made with eel.

Linjiang Shrimp is a special dish of this inn.

After Chen Yuan ate it, he felt that the taste of the two dishes was average, neither delicious nor bad.

Thinking about it, if the cooking skills in this inn were really good, the innkeeper would be running a restaurant, not an inn.

"Master Dao, there are a total of ten big boys and two young boys, Linjiang shrimp and soy tiger tail, a total of eight big boys, two big boys from goat milk and cowhide water bags, two porcelain bowls and two boys..."

After Chen Yuan finished his meal, he carried the sword box and bundle on his back, and also took the water bag containing goat milk, and walked to the counter. Chen Yuan.

"Does the shopkeeper know the location of your land temple in Linjiang County?"

Chen Yuan took out his purse, and after paying the bill, he asked the innkeeper.

"If you want to talk about the Earth Temple in Linjiang County, I'm afraid no one in Linjiang County would not know about it? The temple with the most incense in our Linjiang County is the Earth Temple."

"The Temple of Earth is located in the western suburbs of Linjiang County. Walk five miles west after leaving the city gate, and you will see a dead forest."

The innkeeper introduced Chen Yuan enthusiastically.

"Then you don't have a Town God's Temple in Linjiang County?"

Chen Yuan asked.

It stands to reason that in a county, the Temple of the City God should be the place with the most incense.

The land god is under the city god, and the general land gods are just the guardian spirits of some villages and towns.

"It is said that our Linjiang County also has a Town God's Temple. The City God is my grandfather's generation, and the imperial court canonized a great benevolent person in our locality."

"But the Temple of the City God was not effective. As time passed, the Temple of the City God became abandoned, and no one went to worship the City God anymore."

The innkeeper said.

Hearing the innkeeper's words, Chen Yuan was extremely surprised.

Because Linjiang County was the first place he encountered where the people believed in the God of the Land, but not the City God.

"Don't the people worship useless gods?"

Such thoughts flashed through Chen Yuan's mind.

"Does the shopkeeper know what famous Taoist temples are there in Linjiang County?"

Chen Yuan asked.

During these few days in Linjiang County, he probably has no place to stay, so he plans to stay in a Taoist temple for a few days.

"If you want to talk about the most famous Taoist temple in Linjiang County, it must be the Fuhu Temple ten miles south of the city. It is said that the family members of many wealthy families in the city will go to the temple to pray for blessings every festival, and ask Taoist Master Xuyun for help and peace. Amulet."

"It is said that Taoist Priest Xuyun knows spells, has profound magic power, and is a master of Taoism, so he is very famous in the local area."

The innkeeper didn't even think about it, so he blurted out.

"I see."

Chen Yuan nodded.

He made up his mind and went to Fuhu Temple.

Anyway, all the Taoist disciples in the world are disciples of the Dao Ancestor, so they can be regarded as a family. Presumably, Daoist Master Xuyun will not reject him, right?
And the other party, like him, is a practitioner and can be regarded as a Taoist friend, so he can just come to visit him.

"Dare to ask this Taoist priest, you are not familiar with the situation in Linjiang County at all. It seems that you are a Taoist priest who has wandered here from other places. Are you planning to come to Jiang County?"

The innkeeper tentatively asked Chen Yuan.

"I've come here in the clouds, just visiting friends by the way."

Chen Yuan responded.

After chatting with the innkeeper for a while, he found out what he wanted to know. He turned around and stuffed Xue Niang and the little yellow dog next to him into his luggage.

Walking out of the inn, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

But when he walked to the square table where Chen Yuan was sitting, the waiter in the inn who was about to clean up the bowls and chopsticks froze there for a moment, his hands holding the bowls were frozen, as if he had turned into a sculpture.

"what happened?"

After seeing him for quite a while, the errand in my inn still stood there without moving. The innkeeper came over with a very bad expression and asked the errand.

He also thought that the waiter in the inn was slacking off under his nose.

This is simply too disrespectful of him as the shopkeeper, right?

Even if you want to be lazy, just avoid him.

"I seem to vaguely hear that when the young Taoist priest left, the big white rat that he put in his bag actually spoke. It was the voice of a girl."

The waiter in the inn only recovered from the horror just now.

"Shopkeeper, you said that big white rat just now is not a rat demon?"

He said to the innkeeper who came to him.

The innkeeper thought of the young Taoist just now, wearing a pure black Taoist robe, with a Taoist bun on his head, a Hunyuan scarf on his head, and a sword box on his back. In addition, he was handsome and had a detached aura on his body. It's like a fairy coming out of a painting.

He also believed that the other party was a banished immortal walking in the world.

"Don't meddle in other people's business, even if that white mouse is a demon, it's none of your business, just keep it in your heart."

The innkeeper reprimanded Xiaoer.

He has been running an inn for so many years, and he knows that crouching tigers, hidden dragons and all kinds of weird things can happen in this world.

Since the handsome young Taoist priest just now can raise a rat demon, there is a high probability that he is a Taoist master walking in the world.

But this is none of their business. If it spreads everywhere, it may bring trouble to the inn instead.

"Yes, shopkeeper, I understand."

The waiter at the inn responded.

I can only let go of the doubts and horror in my heart, continue to clean up the dishes, and go about my own affairs.

……

"Chen Yuan, where are we going now?"

"Go to Fuhu to watch it first, and find a place to stay!"

"That Fuhu Temple is a Taoist temple, are there all Taoist priests as powerful as you?"

"I don't know if it's great or not. Anyway, it's just a Taoist priest."

During the conversation with Xueniang, Chen Yuan quickly followed the road he found from the innkeeper to Fuhu Temple ten miles south of the city.

This Fuhu Temple was built outside the city, on a small mountain with a height of hundreds of feet.

By the time Chen Yuan arrived at Fuhu Temple, night had already fallen.

There are no pilgrims at the large Taoist temple gate, and a young Taoist priest is about to close the Taoist temple gate.

"Please wait a moment, Layman Qingming, come to visit Taoist Master Yunxu of Guiguan."

At this moment, a young Taoist priest wearing a pure black Taoist robe, carrying a sword box and a bundle, walked over not far away in the twilight.
