And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 125 Five Elements Hidden Soul
Since it rained during the day the next day, it has never rained again.

On the contrary, that night, the moon hung high in the night sky and the stars were shining brightly.

Chen Yuan still spends most of his time in the small room of the cabin, studying the "True Treasure Collection of Rootless" and "Liu Ren Dao Fa" in his hands.

He finished reading "The Rootless True Treasure Collection" very quickly, and Chen Yuan had already learned the three spells in it, the water diversion technique.

During the two days on the ship, I had a good understanding of the technique of body-substitution and the technique of turning a pen into reality.

However, the Substitution Technique and the Move the Brush to Make Reality technique are different from the water diversion technique, and they cannot be performed just after learning.

Among them, the substitute technique requires the use of spells to refine one's own substitute puppet, which is used to resist fatal blows.

As for the stand-in doll, weaving with straw is fine, followed by puppet, and wood carving is the best.

"It seems that I not only need to learn how to paint, but also find a craftsman who can carve, and follow him to learn woodcarving."

After figuring out the conditions for performing the technique of making the brush come true and the technique of substitute, Chen Yuan said in the small room of the cabin.

Although straw weaving and puppet can be used as stand-in dolls, the effect of using them is much worse than that of wood carvings. When encountering a powerful opponent, it is easy to be seen through by the opponent.

"Chen Yuan, can I practice spells?"

Seeing Chen Yuan studying with two Taoist books all day, Xue Niang, who was lying on Chen Yuan's legs, tilted her head to look at Chen Yuandao with envious eyes.

Although she has the ability to hunt for treasure, she doesn't know other spells. I'm really sorry for her status as a rat demon.

"You also want to practice spells?"

Chen Yuan was a little surprised, and looked at Xue Niang who was lying beside him.

The bed in the small room of the cabin is small enough to accommodate one person. When Chen Yuan lay down to sleep in the room, Xueniang would get off the boat voluntarily, hug the little yellow dog lying in the corner to keep warm, and sleep together with a dog and a mouse.

And when Chen Yuan was reading a book, or sitting cross-legged on the bed to practice, Xue Niang would tentatively go to bed and snuggle up to Chen Yuan's legs.

"Of course Xueniang wants to practice spells!"

Xue Niang said without hesitation:
"Who doesn't want to practice spells?"

Hearing the words, Chen Yuan didn't speak. He looked at the openable wall of the small room, which was opened by himself. There was a square porthole with a length and width not more than a few feet used for ventilation and light. Looking at the scenery on the shore, he quickly flashed past his eyes, thinking in his mind.

The spells he knows now are not suitable for teaching Xueniang, because with Xueniang's understanding, she might have to wait until the year of the monkey to learn a simple spell.

On the contrary, it will delay Xueniang's practice.

But since Xueniang wants to learn, maybe she can teach Xueniang one or two simple spells and let Xueniang practice.

Chen Yuan thought of the "Liu Ren Dao Fa" that he had glanced at before.

According to the records in "Liu Ren Dao Fa", the Liu Ren lineage has been developed in the human world for thousands of years. In addition to the core main line, Fenghuoyuan, which has declined, there are two other branch schools that have been inherited in the human world, that is, Fu Ying Guan and Qun Ying Guan.

Compared with the advanced spell skills in Fenghuoyuan, the other two factions only inherited a few, and the spell skills are just superficial, and they can be done quickly.

In this "Liu Ren Dao Fa", in addition to making up for the incomplete parts of the previous "Fenghuoyuan Spiritual Talisman Book", the most important thing is the practice of Fu Ying Guan and Qunying Guan, as well as the spells, all of which are recorded in this "Liu Ren Dao Fa".

In "Liu Ren Dao Fa", Fuying Guan and Qunying Guan are not as good as the main channel Fenghuo Academy in terms of practice and spells.

However, there is a core practice method that Fenghuoyuan cannot match.

That is a practice method called "Five Elements Hidden Soul" recorded in "Liu Ren Dao Fa".

It is said that as long as the patriarch of the sect protects the disciple's soul, sends wood, stone and other five-element tokens, and hides it in a mountain with excellent feng shui, the disciple will be able to practice five-element spells in a short period of time.

The reason why this "five elements hide the soul" is a method of practice, not a spell.

It is because after complete cultivation, practitioners can not only cultivate five-element spells, but also send their souls into the heaven and earth for natural integration, which can not only protect the body and life, but also have the effect of resolving diseases.

The practice of this technique does not require comprehension, it only needs to be done step by step.

Chen Yuan felt that it was just suitable for Xueniang to practice.

"I have a spell called "Five Elements Hidden Soul", which is just right for you. Are you willing to practice it?"

Chen Yuan lowered his head and asked Xue Niang.

"Is this spell very powerful?"

Xue Niang asked Chen Yuan.

"Great."

Chen Yuan nodded.

Strictly speaking, this "five elements hide the soul" is no longer an ordinary spell, but a real practice method.

Being able to quickly practice the five elements spell is just a subsidiary product of it.

"Then Xueniang wants to practice."

The snow squirrel's eyes were bright, and she kept nodding her head.

"I'll tell you the method of cultivation, just listen..."

Chen Yuan said to Xue Niang.

When the brocade lady gave Chen Yuan the "Liu Ren Dao Fa", she said that the one who entrusted the brocade lady to Chen Yuan did not have any requirements.

That is to say, it is all right for Chen Yuan to deal with the "Liu Ren Dao Fa".

Whether you practice it yourself or teach it to others.

After finishing speaking, he told Xueniang the practice method of "Five Elements Hidden Soul", and then asked Xueniang, "Do you remember?"

Xueniang nodded seriously and said: "Chen Yuan, you only need to tell Xueniang again, and Xueniang will remember."

Chen Yuan was also very patient, and once again explained the practice of "five elements hide the soul" to Xueniang.

"Do you remember this time?"

Chen Yuan asked Xue Niang again.

"Xue Niang will remember it soon, Chen Yuan, tell Xue Niang again."

Xue Niang said seriously.

A vein twitched on Chen Yuan's forehead. This time, he slowed down his tone a lot, and continued to tell Xueniang the spell of "Five Elements Hidden Soul".

"You should remember this time, right?"

Chen Yuan asked Xue Niang again.

"Xueniang remembered it, but you have to tell Xueniang again, Chen Yuan."

Xueniang told a lie without blushing.

Chen Yuan finally couldn't take it anymore, he didn't know how many times he had to say it before Xueniang could really memorize this less than [-]-word practice method.

Chen Yuan directly took out the book "Liu Ren Dao Fa" and threw it to Xue Niang.

"Take this book yourself, and memorize the part of "Five Elements Hidden Soul"."

Chen Yuan said to Xue Niang.

"But Xueniang can't read."

Xueniang looked at Chen Yuandao with a confused face.

Chen Yuan: ...

He actually forgot this!
"In the future, I will spend one hour every day teaching you how to read and write."

Chen Yuan said to Xue Niang.

In the past, Xueniang practiced only imitating him, so she didn't need to read and write.

But since Xueniang wants to practice spells now, she must learn to read and write, otherwise, let alone recite the next practice method, even if it is written for her to read, she may not be able to recognize it.

"Ok."

Xue Niang agreed.

Chen Yuan found the boss of the boat, the salamander, and bought some pens, ink, paper and inkstones from him.

Before he crossed over, his predecessor was a scholar who was preparing to take the imperial examination. Although he was good at essays, Chen Yuan might not be as good as a scholar.

But there is no problem in teaching a white mouse to read and write.

In this way, Chen Yuan stayed in the small room when he had nothing to do, teaching Xue Niang to read and write.

Perhaps because of the temptation to practice spells, Xue Niang learned very seriously, and Chen Yuan also taught very seriously.

During the whole process, Xue Niang was not as stupid as Chen Yuan imagined, but she was not necessarily so smart either.

After one day, Chen Yuan only taught Xueniang how to read and write more than ten characters.

During this time, the crew members on board will deliver meals to the small room in the cabin on time.

For Chen Yuan, eating is more of a kind of enjoyment than just to fill his stomach.

The meals delivered to the room by the crew were not very tasty, so Chen Yuan basically distributed them to Xue Niang and the little yellow dog.

Now the little yellow dog has grown up a bit, and can eat some ordinary food instead of just drinking milk.

……

Late at night and early in the morning.

The portholes are closed.

A tung oil lamp was lit beside the bed, and the dim light barely illuminated the entire small room, but the light was not very bright.

Xueniang was holding a pen, with paper and inkstone in front of her, standing just like a human being, practicing writing on the small bed where Chen Yuan had uncovered the quilt and left only wooden planks.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged on the other side of the small bed, put his hands in front of his abdomen, and performed big and small circles in his body, practicing "Taiyi Jinhua Purpose".

I don't know if it's because what I've seen and heard in the past few days has broadened my mind, or because I'm on the river and the heaven and earth are full of spiritual energy, Chen Yuan has gained something from practicing in the past two days.

Chen Yuan suddenly interrupted his practice and opened his eyes.

He sensed the strangeness outside. He didn't know when it started, but the boat was moving forward at a slow speed, as if it hadn't left.

"You continue to practice calligraphy, I'll go out and have a look."

After Chen Yuan left a word to Xueniang, he got out of bed, put on his shoes and socks, opened the door and went out.

When he came to the bedside deck, Chen Yuan looked up and saw a round of incomplete moon hanging high in the night sky above his head, surrounded by a vast mist. Although there were more than a dozen lanterns hanging on the boat, the light of these dozen lanterns could barely illuminate the entire boat.

The cargo ship was walking alone in the sea of ​​fog, giving people a feeling that it was about to be swallowed by the thick fog.

At this time, the bow deck of the cargo ship was also very busy. The boss of the ship, the salamander, was here, directing the crew to run back and forth, as if preparing for something.

"Daozhang, are you out?"

Seeing Chen Yuan coming out of the room, Feng Xi came over to greet Chen Yuan after explaining everything.

"Boss Feng, what happened? The bow of the boat is so busy. Pindao feels that the boat is moving slowly?"

Chen Yuan asked the boat boss.

The boat boss didn't let Chen Yuan call him Master Feng just like the crew, so Chen Yuan simply called the boat boss Feng Boss.

"Master Dao, you are one of our own, and I won't hide it from you. The position we will take next will be more dangerous, especially in dense fog."

The big salamander, the boss of the boat, hesitated for a moment, and then told what he knew.

"how do I say this?"

"The Daoist doesn't know. In the Lujiang waterway leading to Jianghuai City, there is an area called "Luohunjian". There is no abnormality in this place called "Luohunjian". However, dense fog will appear every ten days and a half months, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter."

"Is this dense fog dangerous?"

"In this area called "Luohunjian", sailing is usually not dangerous, but once the thick fog appears, a huge river monster will appear, attack the passing boats, and devour the pedestrians on board. There have been many boats in the past. In the thick fog, they encountered river monsters in this area, some were knocked over, and some hulls were damaged.

"Isn't there a river god in Lujiang?"

"There is a river god empress in Lujiang, and many people set up temples to worship along both sides of the river. However, the new river god empress has only appeared for more than ten years, and the monster in the "Luohunjian" has been raging here for more than 20 years."

"Now the ship is moving slowly, but what is the reason?"

"Once there is thick fog in "Luohunjian", it will become extremely dangerous. If you stay here for a longer period of time, it will be more dangerous, but you can't stop the boat directly, otherwise you will be attacked by the water monster immediately. It is best to find out in advance and stop the boat outside Luohunjian. Unfortunately, it was too late when we discovered the fog, and the ship has already entered Luohunjian. I am preparing the crew to make full preparations, check the situation of the ship, and rush out of this area as quickly as possible."

"I also ask the Taoist priest to help me keep this matter secret, and don't tell this matter to other people on board, so as not to cause panic."

After talking about the situation, the boss of the boat asked Chen Yuan.

"Don't worry, Pindao will keep it a secret for you, Boss Feng."

Chen Yuan nodded.

He is not afraid of any river monsters, if there are river monsters, just get rid of them.

He is no longer a fledgling practitioner in the state of spiritual cultivation.

After inquiring about the cause of the incident, Chen Yuan turned around and went back to his room.

Chen Yuan was already ready to eliminate the demon at any time, but he waited all night but the river monster mentioned by the boat boss did not appear.

Soon, the sky will be bright.

When Chen Yuan walked out of the cabin again and came to the bow deck, it was already the time of the next day.

However, looking at the sky, today is a cloudy day, the sky is gloomy, and there is no sun.

Although it was dawn, the fog still permeated the entire river and the mountains on both sides of the river.

Although the visibility is not as bad as last night, it has improved a lot, but you can only see the outline of the riverside and the rolling mountains on both sides.

This cargo ship was traveling alone on the river, and the whole river was like a gray mirror with no ripples visible, making people feel like they were in a fairyland.

"If it's the beautiful scenery of the light wheel, not to mention the dangers involved, the scenery of Luohunjian can be regarded as extremely beautiful."

Chen Yuan sighed.

Just as Chen Yuan was standing at the bow of the boat, admiring the scenery of Luohunjian, there were voices of arguing behind him.

"Brother Chuan, you actually brought us into the "Luohunjian" on a foggy day!"

"That is, if you encounter a river monster and the boat is in danger, can you bear the responsibility?"

"I told you earlier that you were not allowed to take the mother and daughter on board. It is not good for a woman to board the boat. You have to insist. Something happened now?"

"If you don't give us an explanation today, this matter will never end."

Turning around, Chen Yuan saw Luan Ruiyu, Shang Xin, and the two jade-wearing talents on the bow deck, blocking the boat boss Da Fengxi for an explanation.

"Whether you like to sit or not, if you don't sit and roll, if you are willing to get off the boat now, I can throw you off the boat right now."

The salamander looked at the two scholars with a sneer and said.

"you!"

These two scholars with extraordinary family backgrounds, when they meet salamanders, they feel like a scholar meets a soldier, which makes no sense.

These two scholars looked extremely angry.

They can't swim, and if the boat boss throws them overboard, they will die.

What's more, there are river monsters in this river, and the sound of them falling into the water is very likely to alarm the river monsters in the river.

After saying this, the boss of the boat, the giant salamander, turned around and left. He didn't pay attention to these two talents at all.

As the sky brightened, the guests on board woke up one after another.

When they came to the bow deck, they learned that the ship had broken into the Luohun Stream in the foggy weather. For a moment, everyone felt uneasy, and only hoped that the ship could get out of the Luohun Stream safely.

But just after another hour, at Sishi, the whole cargo ship shook violently, as if it had hit a rock at the bottom of the river.

The people standing at the bow were unprepared, and their bodies all fell forward, almost falling to the ground.

As the owner of the cargo ship, the boss of the ship has been standing at the bow to observe the situation in the river. He quickly grabbed the guardrail to stabilize his body, and his expression changed when he looked at the bottom of the river.

Because he vaguely, at the bottom of the river, saw a huge black shadow swimming past the bottom of the boat.
