And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 163 Two door gods
A few more days passed.

These days, Chen Yuan will go out with his soul at night, intentionally or unintentionally investigating this matter in Jianghuai City.

However, Jianghuai City was very quiet at night, and Chen Yuan did not find any clues.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Yuan finally decided to go to the woman's house to take a look.

Chen Yuan came to Changchun Taoist's residence, and after expressing his thoughts, Changchun Taoist readily agreed.

"Master Daoist, it just so happens that the old Taoist knows the woman and where her family lives. The old Taoist and the Taoist priest will go together to guide the Taoist priest."

Changchun Taoist said to Chen Yuan.

"Then Lao Guanzhu will lead the way for the poor."

Chen Yuan agreed.

"What did the Taoist say? This is a matter for the common people and believers to ask for Qingyang Temple. The Taoist is willing to help. It is the old Taoist who wants to thank the Taoist."

Changchun Taoist shook his head.

Chen Yuan was carrying a sword box, wearing a blue Taoist robe, dressed as a Taoist, and followed the Changchun Taoist to the woman's house to understand the situation.

Chen Yuan and the Changchun Taoist left Qingyang Temple. Under the leadership of the Changchun Taoist, they walked through the streets and alleys, and came to a house in an alley in the west of the city.

This house is not very big, it is just an ordinary house once you enter it.

There is a wall of green bricks around it, about seven feet high, and the door is an ordinary wooden door.

Pasted on the door is a pair of mighty door gods whose background color is red, but the color has faded due to the sun and night.

The Gate God of Dayong is not Qin Shubao and Yu Chigong that Chen Yuan knew well in his previous life.

But before Dayong, there were two famous generals in history.

Chen Yuan has specially learned about the history of this world.

There are many door gods in Dayong, including immortal gods and mortal generals.

The places are different, and the door gods that people believe in are also different from the stickers on the doors of each household.

The pair of door gods in front of them are Zhang Qian and Wu Zhende, the famous historical generals of Dayong who are most regarded as door gods and posted at the door, hoping to protect the family and keep ghosts out of the door.

Both Zhang Qian and Wu Zhende were the founding generals of the former Dajing Dynasty.

Following Taizu Jing, the founding emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty, he conquered the north and south and conquered the world.

Later, these two famous generals, on behalf of Emperor Jing Gaozong, swept away many powerful enemies around them and laid down a huge territory.

At its peak, the territory of Dajing even went deep into the grasslands and deserts, defeated powerful barbarians and ferocious slaves, and established several Protectorate Houses there, with a territory that was more than seven or eight times that of Dayong today.

At that time, there were countless small countries that bowed their heads to Xiao Jing, and in addition to the prosperity of Da Jing at that time, Dayong became the center of this continent for a while.

The kings of countless small countries sent special envoys to Dajing to learn the Dajing culture and bring it back to their own countries.

Even people from many countries are proud of being able to come to Dajing and live in Dajing.

Under such circumstances, after the death of the two generals Zhang Qian and Wu Zhende, rumors began to spread among the people that because these two generals were brave, even with their portraits pasted on the door, they could still look after the house Guarding the courtyard, blocking ghosts who want to enter their own courtyard.

Later, as the rumors spread, more and more people posted portraits of the two generals on their doors, and this rumor has been passed down to this day.

Later, the two of them became the well-known door gods among the common people.

Just as Chen Yuan glanced over the portrait on the door, Chen Yuan found Zhang Qian and Wu Zhende on the door, the eyes in the portraits of the two door gods started to move, looking towards Chen Yuan and Taoist Changchun.

Their eyes swept over Chen Yuan and Changchun Taoist one after another, but when they caught Chen Yuan, their expressions froze, and then they became flustered, and immediately returned to their original dead appearance.

The Changchun Taoist didn't notice the abnormality of the door god's portrait pasted on the gate of the courtyard. After arriving here, he stepped forward to knock on the door.

Bang Bang Bang ~
Not long after, there was a creak, the sour sound of the courtyard door rubbing against the door frame, and the courtyard door was opened.

A plain-looking woman in a plain dress with an apron tied around her waist, with sallow skin and an ordinary face, appeared in front of Chen Yuan and Taoist Changchun.

"Changchun Daoist, why are you here!"

Seeing Chen Yuan and Taoist Changchun standing outside the door, the woman said in surprise.

"The old Taoist and another Taoist priest came to your home to find out about the situation..."

Changchun Taoist explained with a smile.

"Come in quickly."

As the woman moved away, she looked at the Taoist Changchun who was standing next to him, a handsome young Taoist with a box on his back, who looked like a banished immortal.

She knew that this should be the Jianghuai city, the one who has been spreading rumors recently.

Just seeing it with her own eyes, she didn't expect that the other party would be so young.

Chen Yuan and Taoist Changchun walked in, and the woman closed the door.

"Scared me!"

"Why is there a practitioner at home!"

"Looking at the cultivation and aura of the other party, it is very likely that he is in the cultivation state, or even an expert in the inner scene!"

"I see that his breath is obscure, and his cultivation method is not simple, and it may have a great origin."

"You said that when we swept him with the "God's Eye" just now, did he notice us?"

"With the other party's cultivation base, he must have noticed us!"

"Bitter too!"

"The two of us are just a clone of the two door gods. I hope he will ignore us even if he notices us."

As soon as Chen Yuan and the others entered the door, there was a burst of whispering outside the door.

This voice is communicated through sound transmission in a way unique to gods, and ordinary mortals cannot hear it at all.

But Chen Yuan, who had just entered the courtyard, stopped in place, moved his ears a few times, and stopped in place.

"What happened? Daoist, is there something wrong with my house?"

Seeing Chen Yuan suddenly stop walking, the Changchun Taoist and the woman were a little confused. The woman also stopped and asked Chen Yuan.

"I haven't found it yet, I just heard some interesting things."

Chen Yuan responded with a smile, followed the woman, and entered the main hall with Taoist Changchun.

"Can he hear us?"

"should be."

"Then he heard everything we just said!"

"It's all your fault."

"Hurry up and stop talking."

……

The courtyard is not far from the entrance, only a door away, so the movement in the courtyard was also heard by the two door gods, and they were also taken aback when Chen Yuan spoke.

After saying these words, the two voices quickly disappeared.

After arriving at the main hall and inviting Chen Yuan and Changchun Taoist to sit down, the woman made tea for Chen Yuan and Changchun Taoist.

"The two priests are here to ask the women about your husband's affairs, right?"

After finishing all this, the woman sat opposite the two and said.

"good."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"The two Taoist priests came at the right time. Mr. Nalang, the mistress, had just left the house not long ago, and went to the countryside to collect rent. He will stay in the countryside for one night and will not come back tomorrow. Otherwise, the mistress would be really bad with the two Daoist, talk about this matter."

The woman looked a little worried.

"Tell me about your husband first, how did he die earlier!"

Chen Yuan said to the woman.

"It's a long story."

"My husband's family originally had a lot of business. Since my parents-in-law passed away, the husband, a commoner woman, has been taking care of it. He often needs to go to the countryside to collect rent."

"Last time, half a month ago, when Mr. Lang went to the countryside, he fell into a ditch at night and died. Because it was so remote, no one found him."

"Later, I didn't return for three or four days, so it stands to reason that I should have come back long ago. When my husband went out in the past, he would only spend one night in the country at most, and no more than two days at most. He would definitely come back. The women knew that something happened to him. "

"So I went to the countryside to look for my lord, and asked the tenant farmers who rented my field in the countryside, only to find out that my lord had gone back two days ago."

"Later, he was found in a ditch for water diversion on the side of the road outside the city. His neck was broken and he had died for a long time."

"The woman was heartbroken at the time, but after she got over it, she finally went to the countryside to find a few tenant farmers, moved the man back to the city, notified her relatives and friends, and prepared to hold a funeral for him. After the coffin was purchased, it was He was put into the coffin, and it was about to close the lid."

"As a result, the husband of the peasant woman sat up from the coffin and lived..."

The woman told what happened, with fear in her eyes when she spoke.

"After the lord lived, he saw that the woman had prepared a coffin at home and was about to bury him. The lord thought that the woman was not well, and was very angry. He pushed the woman to the ground and beat him up."

"And those relatives and family members, because Mr. Lang came back to life, blamed the women for not knowing the outcome of the matter, so they hurriedly called them over."

When the woman spoke, she looked very aggrieved.

Chen Yuan frowned when he heard that the woman's husband beat his wife.

But when he thought about it carefully, whoever woke up after falling and saw that his wife had not only prepared the coffin, but also put himself in the coffin, would probably have the same reaction as the woman's husband.

"How does your husband usually treat you?"

Chen Yuan asked the woman.

He was excluding whether it was this woman, because her husband often beat him on weekdays, so he became murderous and got rid of her husband.

This scenario is rare, but not impossible.

If this is the case, the husband who was killed by himself suddenly came back to life. This woman might be frightened at first. After she calms down, it is best to go to Qingyang Temple to find a Taoist to solve this matter. choose.

"It's good. He rarely beats or scolds women."

The woman answered.

When the woman spoke, Chen Yuan carefully observed her expression. Chen Yuan felt that the woman was not lying.

"That's right. How can there be so many beatings and scolding wives in the world? The wives become angry and kill their husbands because of resentment. Most of them are couples with ordinary lives but excellent relationships."

Chen Yuan secretly said in his heart.

"After your husband came back to life, what's wrong? Do you feel that he seems to be a different person?"

Chen Yuan asked the women.

"not at all."

"My lord still remembers everything before."

The woman smiled bitterly.

"Then did he do anything weird?"

Chen Yuan asked the woman.

"No, after coming back to life, the woman's husband's broken neck has fully recovered, but there is a faint smell on his body."

the woman replied.

"Okay, we know about this matter, and we will help you solve your husband's matter."

"We still have something to do, so let's go first."

After inquiring about some news, Chen Yuan took Changchun Taoist to leave.

After walking out of the house, the Changchun Taoist asked Chen Yuan: "How is it, Taoist priest? Did you see anything wrong?"

"no!"

Chen Yuan shook his head.

"It's a pity that we didn't come at the right time. This woman's husband is not at home. Otherwise, we might be able to see something from his husband."

Chen Yuan sighed.

"Don't worry, take your time, it will always be resolved."

Changchun Taoist comforted.

"Let's go."

Chen Yuan didn't think about it any more, and turned to leave.

Seeing Chen Yuan leave, Changchun Taoist also followed.

……

in a blink.

It's late at night.

Chen Yuan came here again.

But this time it was not Chen Yuan's physical body, but Chen Yuan's primordial spirit.

Chen Yuan's soul fell into the dark alley under the moonlight. After walking a few steps forward, he saw the house and the door god stuck on the door.

"Stop pretending, Pindao knows that the two of you can hear what Pindao is saying!"

Chen Yuan stood for a while, seeing that there was no reaction from the other party, Chen Yuan said to the two disciples.

Who knew that Zhang Qian and Wu Zhende, the two door gods, did not respond at all, as if they were dead objects.

"If you don't talk anymore, Pindao will simply use a fire to burn you all."

Chen Yuan threatened.

"No, Taoist Priest, we realize our mistake."

Hearing that Chen Yuan was going to burn them, two burly figures, one gold and one silver, flew out from the door god painting pasted on the courtyard gate, holding spears and halberds and other weapons in their hands, one of them begged.

"Looking at your aura, you should be just a projection clone of the door god, right?"

Chen Yuan asked these two people.

Similar to door gods and kitchen gods, this kind of people's homes have gods worshiped in every household, so it is not the body that is stationed in the people's homes.

Otherwise, even the gods will be overwhelmed.

Therefore, some gods will send a projection clone into the homes of devout believers.

The projection avatars of the pair of door gods in front of them are not strong, probably only equivalent to the alchemy realm of a practitioner.

"That's right, Daoist Master Huiyan."

Seeing Chen Yuan reveal their identities, Zhang Qian, who was wearing golden armor, said to Chen Yuan.

"Ask you one thing. Since you are the door gods of this family, you should have seen the male master of this family. Is there anything unusual about him?"

Chen Yuan asked the two door gods.

"This……"

Seeing Chen Yuan asking about this matter, the two door gods looked hesitant to speak, not knowing whether they should speak or not.

"Since the Taoist priest asked, then let's just say that, according to our opinion, the other party's Taoism is quite high, even if it is not as good as the Taoist priest, it should not be much different from the Taoist priest."

In the end, the gate god Wu Joan of Arc said.

"Oh? How powerful is this person?"

When Chen Yuan heard this, a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

It seems that he has been searching for a while, and the man behind this who can bring people back to life has finally been found.

It's just that he didn't expect that this matter would unfold in such a dramatic process, and the other party was exposed by his wife.

During this period of time, there were many incidents of resurrection from the dead. After Chen Yuan went to check, he found that although the resurrected people were alive, they were not really fully resurrected. Their souls were all incomplete.

And with the passage of time, their souls will gradually disappear, and finally there will be only a body without a soul.

He concluded that someone did it on purpose, and now it seems that his guess is correct.

"good."

"The Taoist priest doesn't know something. We felt a strong evil spirit from that person. As the god of protecting the family, we can't take action against the master of the family. We can only roughly see his identity."

The two door gods explained.
