Chapter 61: A Chance Encounter with the Dead
On the 5th of May, midsummer has arrived.
In the evening, Chen Yun and his teacher said where they were going, and then went to Xigou City with more than a dozen senior workers and disciples to practice for Zhang Qian's descent tomorrow.
"Senior Brother Zhang, where do you want to go down the mountain this time?"
"Senior Brother Li, I may go to Luoyang to join Senior Brother Lin."
"Yo, Senior Brother Lin has sent a letter? I don't know, because I used to be good friends with him. ”
"Haha, Senior Brother Ding, don't complain about Senior Brother Lin, Luoyang has reached tens of thousands of miles so far, it is not easy to be a wild goose, he has never gone down the mountain and told me, let me go down the mountain to Luoyang first, and he will also rush down the mountain to make a living together, now he goes down the mountain first, naturally in Luoyang according to the agreement, of course, if he is not there, it doesn't matter, I have a relative in Luoyang, you can live for a while."
"It's my fault for Senior Brother Lin."
The group walked and chatted.
Chen Yun was silent in the crowd.
Originally, he heard that Lin Chen was in Luoyang, and he wanted Zhang Qian to take Zhong Kuifu with him.
But Zhang Qian's tone was not sure, Chen Yun thought about it, and felt that it was better to wait for Wang Laozhi and Wang Zixi to come back, and go to Luoyang to take a trip when he went down the mountain to accumulate good deeds, and found Lin Chenren.
After all, Zhong Kui Fu is particularly precious.
It is said that Cai Rujin is highly cultivated, and he only makes one a day.
He must ensure that such a precious thing is returned to Lin Chen's hands in order to be completely at ease.
After arriving at the mountain gate, Chen Yun took out more than a dozen copies of the armor horse talisman that Cai Rujin asked for and distributed them one by one, "Senior brothers, I will go to Xigou City for thirty or fifty miles, I don't know when I will arrive on foot, you can take each armor horse talisman for the time being, and we will rush to the city as soon as possible." ”
A group of people came up to receive the armor and horse charms.
Li Si was shocked: "Senior Brother Chen, you have been cultivating with your ancestor for several months, and now you can make a horse talisman?" It's amazing. ”
Wang Siyan, Yu Luping, Senior Brother Tang and others all admired and looked at Chen Yun with envy.
The number of permanent workers recruited by the mission is quite large.
Now the only one who really worships the wall of the patriarch's door is Chen Yun.
This is the reason why everyone is envious.
As for worship, it is because everyone has been in the preaching temple for many years, and they more or less know that to make talismans, you need to have mana, that is, to refine and refine qi to refine true qi.
Refining True Qi is a real "immortal family" for mortals.
Naturally, everyone worshipped it.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chen Yun said as humbly and low-key as always: "I have only been in the wall of the Mentor Gate for a few months, how can I have the ability to make a horse talisman?" This was a gift from Mr. Cai's nephew. ”
Li Si was quite disappointed and said: "I originally thought that senior brother, you could immediately refine mana when you entered the patriarch's sect, but I never thought that it had not been refined, it seems that the way of cultivation is indeed difficult." ”
Senior Brother Ning laughed and said, "If cultivation is so easy, immortals are dissatisfied with the world? Although Senior Brother Chen has not yet refined his mana for the time being, he will be able to become an immortal sooner or later when he enters the ancestral master wall. ”
Zhang Qian also glanced at Li Si, who had a "low EQ", and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Chen is the dragon and phoenix among people, and there is a famous teacher to guide him, refining mana is a matter of time, you should hurry up and tie up Senior Brother Chen now, otherwise it will not be easy to tie up in the future." ”
The second half of his sentence was obviously joking.
Sure enough, everyone was happy.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Chen, don't forget Senior Brother Tang and me when you become an immortal in the future."
"And my old Ding, we are people who eat at the same table."
Although a group of people were giggling and laughing, there was still a serious look in their eyes.
Obviously, they agreed with Zhang Qian, and felt that Chen Yun would cultivate mana to become an "immortal family" in the future, and thought about stammering it now.
Chen Yun didn't put on a show, and also joked with everyone.
He has refined the True Qi, but now he is still staying in the ninth grade, and he really has no ability to make a horse talisman.
The main day is too rushed, even if Chen Yun has Bai Yuzhu to help, there is still a gap between him and the eighth grade.
Therefore, in the end, there was really no way, and Chen Yun still asked Cai Rujin to help make it.
The group said and pasted the armor horse talisman and went all the way to Xigou City.
……
Come to the well-known restaurant "Full House" in Xigou City.
Xiao Er stepped forward to greet him, "Ladies and gentlemen, please go upstairs." ”
Zhang Qian, Li Si and others hugged Chen Yun and followed behind Xiao Er.
Suddenly, Chen Yun saw an acquaintance eating at the table at the door.
He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said to Zhang Gan: "Senior Brother Zhang, I met an acquaintance, you take you senior brothers upstairs first, and I'll be there in a while." ”
Zhang Qian said: "Okay, you come up quickly." ”
After that, Zhang Qian, Li Si, Wang Siyan and others all went upstairs.
Chen Yun quietly walked to the table near the door, saluted the middle-aged and elderly man with a slightly pale face, and said, "Third master, don't come unharmed." ”
That's right, sitting at this table is the third master of the human trafficker who once brought Chen Yun from the Great Black Mountain to Xigou City.
Next to it sat an elderly woman and two men in their prime of life.
Hearing this, everyone looked at him.
Seeing that it was a Taoist priest, everyone quickly stood up.
"I've seen the Taoist."
"Blessed is the Taoist."
The third master also greeted first, and then showed a puzzled look, "Dao Chief, do you know me?" ”
After entering the preaching temple for about half a year, Chen Yun not only grew a lot taller, from 1.5 meters to 1.75 meters, but also his thin body became stronger, not to mention that his complexion has also changed greatly, and it is normal for the third master not to recognize it.
He took the initiative to explain his identity and said: "I am Chen Yun from the Great Black Mountain. ”
"You are Chen Yun...... Chen Daochang. The third master looked at him in disbelief, "Ouch, you have changed too much in the past six months, and I can't even recognize it." ”
"Maybe the food at the missionary temple is better, and the body grows faster." Chen Yun explained casually, and then asked with great concern: "I wonder if the third master has ever been to Heishi Village in Daheishan again?" Are my mom and dad okay with them? ”
The third master sighed and said, "Since Brother Chen sold you...... With twenty taels of silver, he bought an acre of fertile land, and although he was still poor, his family did not die of hunger. ”
At present, the price of one acre of fertile land in society is about 20 yuan, and 20 taels of silver is only enough to buy one acre of land.
In ancient society, land annexation was serious, Chen Yun remembered that there was only one acre of land at home, and there was no chemical fertilizer in ancient times, and the yield was relatively low, and one acre of land could produce more than 300 catties of millet a year, which seemed to be okay, but in fact, it was good to remove the bran and leave more than 200 catties of grain.
Because of this, since the birth of his younger siblings, Chen Yun's family has fallen into a "famine".
Every New Year's festival to worship the ancestors, they have to rely on their grandfather's family to send some meat to help.
And those meats were naturally left for the family to eat after the ancestors were sacrificed, so Chen Yun was able to hide some jerky and the like a little in those years.
Now that there is one less person in the family and one more acre of fertile land, it is indeed barely enough to feed the family.
It's just that when he heard that his family was still poor, Chen Yun couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
Even if Daddy sold himself, how could he be indifferent to the sixteen years of relationship?
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Yun took a deep breath, made a decision, and said, "Third Master, I will go to you in a few days and bring some silver taels for me to my father, don't say I gave it." ”
The third master was stunned for a moment, "Daochang Chen, your father sold you, the old man said something unpleasant, selling people is like selling goods, this goods are sold and have nothing to do with the original owner, I have never heard of anyone being sold and sent money back to the family." ”
It's not rough to say, but I have been in this world for 16 years, at least my father has not changed his life like others, no matter how hard and poor he is.
This is equivalent to the grace of not killing, and Chen Yun naturally remembered it in his heart.
He smiled, "I have food and drink at the missionary temple, and I don't have any money to spend, so I might as well let them improve their lives." ”
The third master sighed: "You are really affectionate and righteous, if I were Brother Chen, I would definitely regret dying." ”
Chen Yundao: "That's why I asked you not to say that I gave you the silver taels, and at that time, if you fancy something casually, just say that it is a valuable antique, and then give them the silver taels." ”
The third master nodded and said, "Good." ”
After chatting about things, Chen Yun was about to say goodbye, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with the third master's face.
When he was studying the Qi Observation Technique a few days ago, he had seen a lot of knowledge about the complexion, so even during the period when he was not opening the Qi Observation Technique, he could more or less see some abnormalities.
Chen Yun asked with concern, "By the way, Third Master, seeing that your face is pale, is it sick?" ”
The third master smiled bitterly: "It's good if you're sick, alas, the family is unfortunate, so don't mention it." ”
The elderly woman and the two prime of life next to her all looked like they were in the prime of life, as if they were particularly afraid of this.
Chen Yun didn't like to meddle in things, and since people didn't want to talk about it, he didn't continue to ask.
……
Upstairs.
Practice with everyone for Zhang Qian.
During this period, except for Wang Siyan and Yu Luping, everyone else drank a lot of alcohol.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone sent parting gifts.
Chen Yun also gave him the meditation talisman, the peace and disaster dissipation talisman, the town house evil talisman and the rejuvenation talisman of all diseases that had been prepared long ago.
As for the Divine Talisman and the like, he didn't ask Cai Rujin for it.
It's not that he doesn't want to ask for Zhang Qian.
Rather, when the chief workers of the preaching temple are dismissed normally, the elders will ask where the people who have gone down the mountain are, and then take the initiative to give them a horse talisman or a magic talisman.
Even if the road is particularly far away, it will let Wang Tsaixi or Cai Rujin see each other off.
When Lin Chen was driven down the mountain, even if Cai Rujin didn't send it, Wang Zixi would give him a horse talisman, a magic talisman or send it in person.
Zhang Qian took the talisman and looked at it, and immediately said in surprise: "Senior Brother Chen, you actually gave me such a precious talisman?" ”
Senior Brother Tang said with envy: "Yes, the peace and disaster elimination charm is a precious talisman to protect one's life and protect one's home, and it can be equipped with it to protect the safety of entry and exit, and it can protect against the harm of villains, evil ghosts, and emergencies." ”
Li Si followed and said: "There are also four corners of the town house to ward off evil spirits, except for clouds and ghosts, and all evils are eliminated." ”
Senior Brother Ning's eyes were also red with jealousy, "It's okay to have a peace and dispel disasters and a town house to ward off evil spirits, this rejuvenation talisman for all diseases can be worn with you, not only can you prevent evil diseases, get rid of diseases, but if someone really has a bad disease, you can burn the talisman and take it to the water, and you can quickly cure the diseases on your body!" ”
"Senior Brother Chen is so generous."
"Let Senior Brother Cai make these talismans, I think Senior Brother Chen owes a lot of favors."
Senior Brother Ding, Yu Luping and others were all talking.
Everyone was the only one who didn't have much interest in the meditation talisman, and they hardly talked about this talisman.
It is also true that Chen Yun knows that the town house evil charm charm, the peace disaster elimination charm and the rejuvenation charm of all diseases are more practical than the meditation charm, and it is normal for everyone to talk about it.
As for everyone thinking that these talismans were made by Cai Rujin, Chen Yun didn't deliberately explain it, he didn't like to show himself.
……
After dinner, everyone walked around Xigou City for a while.
At the end, everyone returned to Nanshan.
When I arrived at the mountain gate, I happened to meet Wang Laozhi and Wang Zixi who had accumulated good deeds and came back from outside.
"Senior Brother Wang."
"Senior Brother Wang."
Everyone greeted each other.
Chen Yun also stepped forward to greet him: "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Nephew Wang." ”
Wang Laozhi only glanced at Chen Yun, and then said in surprise: "Hey, Senior Brother Chen hasn't seen you for a month or two, and you actually refined True Qi?" ”
Chen Yun was neither humble nor humble, and said: "Under the guidance of my teacher, I was lucky enough to refine True Qi. ”
Wang Laozhi and Wang Laozhi were only slightly surprised that Chen Yun's cultivation speed was fast, but they didn't look as stunned as Uncle Zheng Wen and Cai Rujin.
Because they saw that Chen Yun had refined True Qi so quickly and cultivated to the Nine Rank Mage Realm, they thought that what Zhong Liquan had taught Chen Yun was the Inner Dan Technique, and they didn't think it was to pass on the Fa.
On the contrary, Zhang Qian, Li Si, Wang Siyan and others who heard their conversation were surprised, and everyone didn't expect that Chen Yun would actually refine True Qi and become a real "immortal family"!
