Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 43: Persuasion, get out of the box and be free
The sun sets and darkness begins to rise.

Xu Yuanchang stepped into the valley and felt the difference around the red willow trees.

Liu Xianfeng, who was sitting on his right shoulder, was chatting casually, asking if he needed help buying cultivation items, how about transplanting more trees in this mountainous area, etc.

Liu Xianfeng didn't have anything he needed for the time being, so he was very talkative.

When talking about Hongliu Village, she looked a little sad.

"What's wrong? Could it be that Mrs. Liu cut down all the red willow trees in the village and cut off your hometown?"

Xu Yuanchang asked guessingly.

Liu Xianfeng was indignant and cursed: "The God of the Liu family has gone too far. Taking advantage of the doubled incense offerings in the past few months, his supernatural powers have gradually increased. He instructed his descendants in dreams to cut down all the red willow trees in the village, including the scattered red willow trees outside and outside the village. It's like chopping wood and burning it, it makes me angry."

Now she can't even enter the village.

Being kicked out, he lost his territorial advantage and could not compete with the Liu Family God.

Fortunately, she learned from the book to prepare for a rainy day and bought a new territory here.

Otherwise, if you are suddenly cut down and expelled, your vitality will be severely damaged, your moral conduct will be damaged, and you may even lose your life.

Xu Yuanchang guessed that this would be the outcome. How could he allow others to snore on the side of the bed, not to mention the bad relationship? He said with relief: "The Liu Family God drove you away, which is a loss for the entire Hongliu Village. They have severed their ties with you and let you go." You don’t have to be implicated in cause and effect, which is a good thing for you. You can break out of the rut and be free, and you can move forward on the road from now on."

Liu Xianfeng nodded repeatedly. Xu Daoyou's words made her hurt heart very happy: "I deserve this disaster. Alas, who asked me to live under someone else's roof and care about other people's business."

"Think about the way out, and take action when it's time to take action. Our practice is also to cultivate our minds. How can we go far if we are afraid of three things and four things?"

Xu Yuanchang continued to explain, and suddenly remembered the last words that woke him up from his daydream that day, and said: "'People are doing it, God is watching, and there are gods three feet above the head.' You did nothing wrong."

Liu Xianfeng suddenly felt a sense of confidant, and her heart suddenly became enlightened.

"Being a close neighbor with you is the right decision for me. From now on, if you move to another place for a long time, you must take me with you."

"Okay, let's make it a deal."

Xu Yuanchang agreed with a smile and warned: "Be careful that the God of the Liu family will gain power in the future and come to cause trouble for you again."

"If he dares to come, I will destroy him!"

Liu Xianfeng was angry.

She has already given in so much, and if you dare to offend her again, you will definitely arouse the wrath of Thunder.

Xu Yuanchang didn't want to talk too much about the Liu family god, so he changed the topic and asked: "Fellow Taoist Xianfeng, where did you get the two blue-white jade seeds you gave me last time? Do you still have them in stock? That kind of jade It's called 'Wen Yun Stone', it's of great use to Confucianism cultivators, and can be sold for a big price."

He was prospering in the city this time, thanks to the opportunity of two literary luck stones.

Liu Xianfeng said "Yeah": "I found it from the lotus pond near the private school in Hongliu Village. There are only two of them. Next time I go to the private schools in several nearby villages and look around."

With a wave of his hand, there was a pile of bits and pieces floating in front of him, including gold, silver, copper coins, jade, small antiques, etc. He said generously: "They are all here. If you find anything useful, feel free to pick them up."

She has the ability to go deep underground and find treasures based on her taste.

Xu Yuanchang was not polite. He moved the items one by one with his fingers and selected an ancient jade animal button seal. The color was old and yellow, and the seal text was blurry.

Let Liu Xianfeng put away the other items.

After chatting until the sky turned dark, Xu Yuanchang returned to Gushipo courtyard.

Liu Xianfeng reluctantly flew down from her shoulder and once again suggested building a courtyard on the northeastern hillside.

Xu Yuanchang only said, "No hurry, no rush."

In the next ten days or so, a succession of strong men carried various trees up mountains and ridges into the Bailin Valley, digging pits and transplanting them in designated places. Liu Xianfeng took care of the small task of keeping the trees alive.

At the end of the year, Xu Yuanchang traveled between Bailin Valley and Gushipo every day, regardless of wind or snow.

I communicated with Liu Xianfeng every day to deepen our mutual understanding, and finally agreed that by the end of the first month of the new year, I would hire someone to carry bricks and wood to build a yard on the rocks on the hillside.

On this day, Xu Yuanchang sat quietly on his bed and breathed in the condensed wood energy into the orifice of the atrium.

After practicing, walk around the room.

He suddenly thought, since the Liujia Qimen Transformation Technique can plunder the wood energy on its own and strengthen his own magic power, why doesn't he take advantage of the situation and take the initiative to practice it?

Perhaps, after feeding the domineering Incarnation Technique, it will not compete with the Shengmu Technique for food?

Pulling out the brand new secret book that had been kept at the bottom of the box for a long time, and browsing it, Xu Yuanchang sat cross-legged on the bed and took the initiative to practice the Liujia Qimen Transformation Technique for the third time. He could clearly feel that the mana was condensed and settled in the Shenting Orifice, and the effect was immediate. In the next few days, after careful comparison, he concluded that his sudden guess was correct. After feeding the Incarnation Technique, and then practicing the Wood-Lifting Technique, there would basically be no more competition for food.

His wood energy, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally improved significantly.

He was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry.

If I had thought of this earlier that day, maybe now that I have joined Chonglong Temple, my path will be different.

Time is also destiny, but it is a pity that a good opportunity was missed.

On the day of the New Year, he got up very early and used the Light Body Technique at dawn. He made a circle and rushed to Qingping City before noon to sell the evil-breaking charms, illusion-breaking charms and earth god amulets drawn during this period to He went to the Yuyuan shop and got eighty spiritual coins.

With his current mana control, the evil-breaking talisman could have been sold for three spiritual coins a long time ago.

Fifty cloud-yellow talisman papers and some ordinary talisman inks were purchased.

I deliberately spent twenty spirit coins to buy a higher-quality first-level wooden shadow spike talisman, spent eight spirit coins to buy a low-level flame talisman to make up for the lack of spell attack, and spent forty spirit coins to purchase a wooden shadow talisman. I drew a booklet on the basics of the Shadow Spike Talisman, and spent all the spiritual coins I had not yet warmed up.

I feel deep in my heart that I can't save the spirit coins, there are too many places to spend money.

Chat with the casual cultivator in the hall for a while to find out if anything big has happened and brush up on his presence.

In the afternoon, we wandered around the city, walked out from the south gate, and picked out the remote wild places as if we were flying away.

Celebrating the New Year as usual, enjoy the New Year's Eve breakfast in peace and harmony.

What is different than usual is that the dishes on the dinner table have more mutton and venison, which are more abundant. The New Year atmosphere has become more harmonious, and there is an extra little egg baby on the table.

In the evening while keeping up the New Year's Eve, Xu Yuanchang discussed with his eldest brother while roasting melon seeds in a brazier.

After the fifth day of the first lunar month, he took a trip to see his second sister who was married to a village thirty or forty miles away in Doushan. He was met with fierce opposition on the spot by his eldest brother, who was not easily offended.

"It doesn't make sense. Since my parents passed away, have they come back to see me during the holidays?

"As long as you have a little conscience, you will crawl back. If you are abused by your husband's family, you can always send a message. I, the eldest brother, will lead people to fight for justice. It's better for her to ignore everything, for fear of getting involved with us. Poor relative.

"Don't go. The married woman's family will throw water away. I will live a poor life differently without her as my sister."

Gou Wa Niang winked hurriedly, reached out and pinched the angry Dazhu several times, and reminded in a low voice: "Young man who is celebrating the New Year, why are you angry at the third child? He has good intentions."

Xu Yuanchang once heard that his father and mother passed away that year, and the eldest brother and second sister were unhappy and had no contact with each other for many years.

The reason is that it is difficult to tell clearly who is right and who is wrong in housework.

And poverty is the source of family disharmony.

After the New Year, on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Master Ding brought his son to pay New Year greetings again. This time he specially brought a young man wearing clean cotton clothes and a bookish look on his face. He was the son of Hu Sanniang, the son of Shen Tan who died unjustly. His name is Naer.

"Liu Nayun kowtowed to his benefactor and thanked him for redressing his mother's injustice."

The young man lay on the ground and saluted, and kowtowed three times. When he was helped up, his eyes were already red.

"Your mother hopes you live a good life, don't have any hatred, study more in the future, and fight for your mother."

Xu Yuanchang stuffed the boy with a bunch of red string lucky money and asked Master Ding to sit in the main room for a while. He took out candies and dried fruits for the guests to use. He took the boy with him and climbed the west mountain on a small path.

Walk all the way down to the hillside and walk to the nearest red willow tree.

Ask the young man to kowtow three times to the red willow tree.

Liu Xianfeng heard that it was Hu Sanniang's son who had arrived. He sat upright on the tree and received the great gift. She had the ability to hide her figure from mortals.

Xu Yuanchang took a "Peace Jade Pendant" from the air, which was carved by Liu Xianfeng in his spare time. He helped the young man who didn't understand what he was doing, handed the jade pendant to him, and told him: "From now on, on the tenth day of the first lunar month every year, you can do it when you have time." Come here and kowtow to the Tree Queen.”

The young man looked at the familiar red willow tree. There were no more red willow trees in Hongliu Village.

He seemed to understand something and nodded heavily.

Tie the jade pendant carefully inside your clothes.

"I will come every year from now on to kowtow to the Tree Queen."
