And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 183
"It seems that the Taoist Master is not an ordinary Taoist priest, but a Taoist master!"

The woman finally believed Chen Yuan's words, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. She guessed that Chen Yuan was not an ordinary person.

"I wonder what the purpose of coming here is?"

Then the woman asked again.

"I heard that in addition to being a carpenter, your husband is also very skilled in carving. This is why the Taoist priest and the Taoist priest came here."

Changchun Taoist said from the side.

"It turns out that the two Taoist priests came here for the carving skills of the husband and wife."

The woman was surprised, but she felt it was natural.

Only her friend knew that in addition to being a highly skilled carpenter, her husband was also proficient in carving.

Especially the art of carving has reached an astonishing level, which can be called otherworldly and gives life to dead objects.

Everyone is curious. These two Taoist priests may have heard some rumors about her husband spread by the outside world.

"The Taoist Priest is an expert who has his true self. Is there any way to let a commoner woman see the ghost of my husband?"

The woman begged Chen Yuan.

Now that she knew that Chen Yuan had the ability to see ghosts, it so happened that her husband was reluctant to leave her and her relatives and stayed with her, so she longed for her husband and had the idea of ​​seeing her husband again.

"Of course it's fine."

Chen Yuan agreed casually.

It is not difficult for Chen Yuan to let the ghost of the dead meet the living person.

"If the Taoist priest could promise the woman, the woman would be willing to leave her husband to future generations. After summing up his skills as a carpenter and carver, he compiled a classic that he left behind and lent it to the Taoist priest for review. "

After hearing Chen Yuan's words, the woman cried with joy, and she said happily to Chen Yuan.

"That would be great if that's the case."

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He originally thought that the carpenter was dead and that his trip would be in vain this time.

Now it seems that he is very lucky. This carpenter also summarized his carpentry and carving skills before his death, recorded them in a book, and compiled them into a classic, hoping to leave them to his descendants.

Unfortunately, he seemed to be unlucky. He died in an accident before he and his wife could give birth to a child.

"Wait a moment, madam. I'll come as soon as I can and bring your husband over to see you."

Chen Yuan said hello.

"The trouble is long."

The woman felt a little uneasy.

He wasn't sure if Chen Yuan could really do what she asked for just now.

Chen Yuan said no more, stood up and walked out of the courtyard, opened the courtyard door, and strode to the sycamore tree in front of the small courtyard.

"Are you Liu Xibao?"

Chen Yuan stood in front of carpenter Liu Xibao and looked at him.

"Yes, who is the Taoist Priest? Why did you come to my house?"

Liu Xibao still looked at Chen Yuan warily. He confirmed that he did not recognize the two Taoist priests Chen Yuan and Changchun Taoist who had just knocked on the door and entered his house.

I don't know why Chen Yuan came to his home.

"Pindao was originally interested in your carving skills and came here specifically to visit you. Unexpectedly, he found out after arriving at Shaxi Village that you had drowned in an accident."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"The Taoist Master didn't come together, and I died unexpectedly. During this time, I wanted to see my family and wife, but I could see them, but they couldn't see me. And I couldn't be exposed to the sun during the day, so I just I can hide under the plane tree in front of the courtyard."

Liu Xibao sighed.

"All these poor men know that the reason why this poor man came out is because he was entrusted by your wife. He wants to see you."

Chen Yuan said to Liu Xibao.

"My wife wants to see me..."

Liu Xibao looked happy.

"wrong……"

Liu Xibao's expression suddenly changed, and he discovered something was wrong.

"Can the Taoist priest see me? The Taoist priest is not an ordinary Taoist priest, but a Taoist master who is truly capable of practicing Taoism?"

After only thinking for a moment, Liu Xibao analyzed Chen Yuan's identity.

"What do you say?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly and did not answer, but asked Liu Xibaodao.

Chen Yuan did not answer, but instead allowed Liu Xibao to confirm his inner guess.

"But the sunlight in the sky is very poisonous at this time. For our dead ghosts, the sunlight is an extremely poisonous poison. Once the sunlight shines on the ghost, the ghost will be burned as if it was ignited by flames. ash."

Liu Xibao looked confused.

"It's easy..."

Chen Yuan smiled.

Then Chen Yuan made a gesture and recited a few curses.

Then the next moment, the originally clear and cloudless sky seemed to be pulled in by a pair of invisible giant hands, a group of clouds of different sizes from different directions.

Not long after, the clouds condensed into a huge sea of ​​clouds, blocking the sun above their heads. The entire Shaxi Village was temporarily blocked by the sea of ​​clouds and lost the sunlight.

"now what?"

Chen Yuan asked Liu Xibao, who was stunned by this scene.

"Taoist Master... I'm afraid it's not just an ordinary expert with profound Taoist practices. It may be an immortal walking around in the world, who actually knows the magical power that can cover the sky and the sun."

After Liu Xibao recovered from the shock in his heart for a long time, he said to Chen Yuan.

"Let's go, follow Pindao in, your wife is waiting for you."

Chen Yuan said to Liu Xibao.

After doing all this, he took the lead to walk into the yard, and Liu Xibao naturally followed Chen Yuan obediently.

When Chen Yuan returned to the main house of the courtyard, Liu Xibao also followed Chen Yuan and returned to the house together.

Although the woman and Changchun Taoist could not see Liu Xibao's ghost, they could feel that after Chen Yuan went out and returned to the house, the temperature in the whole room dropped a lot.

It was like a dark wind blowing in the house and lingering.

"Taoist priest, the husband of the civilian woman..."

Seeing Chen Yuan coming back, the woman took two steps forward with a somewhat anxious look and asked Chen Yuan.

"Your husband has followed Pindao in, but you are mortal with naked eyes, and your husband has just died and is not an old ghost, so he is standing in front of you, but you can't see him at all. .”

Chen Yuan explained.

The woman's expression darkened.

"But don't worry, I have my own way."

Chen Yuan said.As he spoke, he took out a dark yellow talisman with red runes painted on it with cinnabar, and patted it on the ghost of Liu Xibao standing next to him.

This yellow talisman is the "soul-revealing talisman".

Its function is to forcibly reveal ghosts that are in a hidden state.

Of course, Liu Xibao's situation was not because he wanted to hide himself. In fact, he had just died and the yin energy in his ghost was so weak that ordinary people could not see him at all.

But the effect is the same.

As Chen Yuan slapped the soul-revealing talisman on Liu Xibao's body, the yellow talisman immediately ignited without fire and turned into a red light. At the moment of contact with Liu Xibao's ghost, the red light merged with Liu Xibao's ghost, and then the original ordinary The ghost of Liu Xibao, invisible to the naked eye, appeared in front of the Changchun Taoist and the woman.

"Miss..."

Liu Xibao didn't know that his wife could hear him and was still shouting to the woman.

"Husband!"

"I can finally see you."

The woman responded, looking at her husband who did appear in front of her, with a very happy expression.

"Madam, you and your parents have suffered these days because your husband drowned, so you have to arrange the funeral for me!"

"I'm not in trouble, but husband, why did you leave without saying a word? Even if you want to save people, you have to consider your own ability and leave our family behind. How will we live in the future?"

"I didn't think much about it at the time. When I saw someone drowning in the pond, I jumped in to save the person. Unexpectedly, when the child was rescued, I was drowned in the water."

"But after you died, the family of the child you saved didn't appreciate your kindness at all. They even said that they didn't ask you to save him and that you saved it yourself."

"Madam, my husband has no regrets about saving people."

"Madam, if you really can't do it, just remarry! We don't have any children, so my husband can't hold you back all the time, right?"

"Stop talking about that. I won't remarry. What will happen to my parents if I remarry?"

……

After more than ten days apart, the couple met again. Although they were separated from each other, they were both very happy.

I said everything I originally wanted to say at this time.

The two people ignored the two outsiders, Chen Yuan and Changchun Taoist, and wanted to hug each other and talk to each other, but after all, humans and ghosts were on different paths. They staggered and separated at the moment of contact, and each passed through the other's side, as if It's a different time and space.

Chen Yuan and Changchun Taoist did not disturb them and allowed the couple to talk there.

In fact, Chen Yuan admired a pure good person like Liu Xibao in his heart.

Even if Liu Xibao's wife did not take Liu Xibao's technical classics as a reward, Chen Yuan would definitely take action to let the couple see Liu Xibao's ghost when he saw that Liu Xibao's ghost had not left these days and stayed under the plane tree in front of Liu's courtyard. The one above.

After the couple chatted for half an hour, they finally realized that there were outsiders around and turned their attention to Chen Yuan and Changchun Taoist.

"Taoist Master, I'm sorry, our husband and wife lost our temper just now. My wife told me just now that the Taoist Master has helped our family a lot. I am willing to lend the Taoist Master the book on skills that I planned to leave to future generations."

"But I have one more request, and I ask the Taoist Master to agree to it."

Then Liu Xibao looked at Chen Yuan and asked Chen Yuan.

"What request?"

Chen Yuan asked.

"I drowned in a pond outside the village because I was saving people. I should have turned into a water ghost. But I don't know if it was because I was too obsessed with it, or because I saved someone's life and accumulated some evil virtue. Because of this, not only did he not turn into a water ghost, but he also crawled out of the pond. He has been standing outside the courtyard these days, trying to fulfill his obsession, but he was blocked by the door god posted on the courtyard door and could not enter at all. Courtyard gate.”

"The obsession in my heart is that I am already thirty years old, but I have no heirs, and my parents are also old and about to die. Seeing that the Liu family is about to die, I feel that I am unworthy and want to ask the Taoist priest for help. Please help me think of a way to leave an heir for my Liu family to pass on the incense."

Liu Xibao said with a sincere expression.

A hint of surprise flashed across the eyes of Chen Yuan and Taoist Changchun.

What did they just hear...

A ghost wants Chen Yuan's help to leave an heir for the Liu family to pass on the incense. Isn't this kind of thing a bit too whimsical?

"Of course, I will definitely not let Taoist Master Bai help. I also know that this matter is difficult. If Taoist Master can accomplish this, I am willing to give the Taoist Master the "Wooden Sutra" I summarized."

Then Liu Xibao continued.

"Ghosts and humans belong to yin and yang, so they must never have children."

"What's more, even if a ghost and a human combine and give birth to a son, he will still be a half-human, half-ghost son. The yin and yang in the body are not balanced. I am afraid that he will not live until the end of his life, and there is a high probability of dying midway."

Chen Yuan was about to refuse.

"Not only that, I am also willing to tell the Taoist priest all my carving experience that I have not written down in the "Wooden Sutra" and that I plan to take to the tomb. I will never keep any secret."

Liu Xibao continued.

"Well, since your obsession is so deep, Pindao is willing to help you once."

Chen Yuan could only agree.

He was moved by Liu Xibao's sincerity, definitely not because Liu Xibao gave too much.

In addition, Chen Yuan really didn't expect that Liu Xibao would actually leave behind a backup plan in the book about carpentry and carving skills that he left behind during his lifetime and planned to pass it on to future generations.

This is actually normal. The ancient world was very strict about the teaching of skills. Even after officially becoming a master, it would take decades to test one's character day by day before slowly passing it on to the apprentice.

The real core things will only be taught before death.

Even the things at the bottom of the box will be taken to the grave.

As for the reason!
On the one hand, I am very self-conscious, and I am afraid that my apprentice will starve to death and my master will starve to death.

On the one hand, it may be that the master simply feels that some things are not suitable for teaching.

Especially this kind of book is written and passed down to future generations. Because the book is limited in space, there are many things such as experience and skills that you have learned by yourself. You need to know how to choose and choose the core. Only the important ones are recorded in it, and some parts need to be discarded.

It’s not that the abandoned part is unimportant, it’s just that it’s not that important compared to the core parts recorded in the books.

"Thank you, Daoist."

Seeing that he had convinced Chen Yuan, Liu Xibao's eyes flashed with joy.

From the moment he easily moved the sea of ​​clouds in the sky, covering the sky and the sun, he knew that Chen Yuan was a Taoist master with great abilities.

With the help of such a highly skilled Taoist master, his obsession will definitely be accomplished.

"Please let me think about how to help you and your wife leave an heir to inherit the incense."

Chen Yuan thought for a moment.

This world is actually different from what everyone thinks, where humans and ghosts have different paths.

Although humans and ghosts belong to yin and yang, the saying "humans and ghosts have different paths" is correct.

But this is only relatively correct, not absolutely correct.

At least that's the case in this world!
Chen Yuan had read "The Travels of Wujiao Zhenren" before, which recorded many stories about humans and ghosts giving birth to children.

The content of the story is probably nothing more than this: The scholar is handsome and has excellent literary talent. The female ghost admires his literary appearance and seduces him into a luxurious mansion where he spends all day having fun. The female ghost goes out after getting pregnant. The scholar later notices something abnormal here. I ran out to take a peek during the day, only to realize that it was a tomb. I had actually stayed in a tomb for several years. I fled home in fear, only to realize that several years had passed since the outside world had changed.

Not long after, there was a story about a woman who came to the house and sent her baby back to the scholar's home, and then disappeared.

Strictly speaking, this child brought to the door by a female ghost is half human and half ghost. This kind of child will not live long because of its weak yang energy and strong yin energy.

In this world, a joke on the Internet in the past life, female ghosts are not as scary as perverts, as long as they are brave, female ghosts can take maternity leave, but it has become a real fact.

Chen Yuan thought for a moment, and he had a rough idea in his mind about letting Liu Xibao and his wife conceive an heir.
