And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 28 Dong Sheng
A scholar surnamed Dong lives in the west of the city.

Xu San took Chen Yuan to Yongfu Lane where the other party lived.

Chen Yuan walked into the alley with Xu San while looking around.

It was discovered that this alley was nearly ten feet wide, and the residents on both sides of the alley built a person-high fence with green bricks to block the line of sight, so that pedestrians walking in the alley could not see the specific situation in the yard at all.

All that could be seen were the double-opened black lacquered wooden doors and door frames, with door gods and couplets pasted on them.

It can be seen from this that although the residents living in this Yongfu Lane are ordinary people, they all have good economic conditions.

Under the leadership of Xu San, Chen Yuan soon came to the door of a household in the back of Yongfu Lane.

The courtyard door of this resident was ajar. Xu San and Chen Yuan walked to the door and were about to reach out to knock on the door.

At this moment, two pedestrians passing by saw that Xu San and Chen Yuan were about to knock on the courtyard door of this house, and they walked away in horror as if they had seen a ghost.

"Why is this?"

Seeing this scene, Chen Yuan asked Xu San.

Bang Bang Bang!
After Xu San knocked on the door, he explained to Chen Yuan while waiting:

"The Taoist priest doesn't know that this scholar surnamed Dong is a strange person. He originally lived alone in this courtyard, but at night, there were often sounds of drinking and changing cups. But after dawn, people around The neighbor came to visit curiously, and found that apart from this scholar surnamed Dong, there was no one in the yard anymore."

"After a long time, the neighbors around said that this scholar surnamed Dong was in communion with ghosts. In addition, he had the ability to imitate the language of birds, so the neighbors around him respected him at a distance."

"Even if the door is open during the day, no one dares to enter his yard. Everyone says his house is haunted."

Chen Yuan was a little surprised, so it seems that this scholar surnamed Dong is really a strange person.

No wonder Xu San, a highly skilled folk artist, was afraid of him, so he was specially invited to resolve this grievance.

"Who?"

Not long after Xu San knocked on the door, a somewhat clear voice sounded in the yard.

Footsteps sounded, from far to near, and then the courtyard door opened.

A scholar wearing a Confucian shirt, whose body was washed a little pale, with a sallow complexion and sunken eyes, who looked about 25 or [-] years old, appeared in front of Chen Yuan and Xu San.

"It's you, how many times have I told you that you have low skills, but you dare to show off to make money. I see you make a move once. If you still want to make a living, leave Lujiang City as soon as possible."

The scholar saw Xu San standing outside the door, he said coldly.

"No matter how many times you come, the result is the same."

Then the scholar said again.

"I know what I say can't change your attention, so I invited an expert to resolve the grievances between you and me."

Xu San looked confident.

On the way here, when he guessed that it was Lord Chenghuang who was talking to Chen Yuan in the Temple of the City God, he didn't worry much about this matter.

Only then did the scholar see that standing beside Xu San was a handsome young Taoist priest wearing a dark blue Taoist robe and carrying a sword wrapped in black cloth on his back.

The scholar surnamed Dong's expression darkened immediately, and he looked at Chen Yuan unkindly: "Taoist priest, are you here to meddle in business?"

However, Chen Yuan said: "Being entrusted by others, I have some sympathy with Xu San in matters of loyalty. It would be best if the two of you can resolve this grievance."

The scholar's heart sank when he heard the words, all the strange things he encountered made him understand that there are countless unimaginable things in this world.

These trivial tricks of his own can't get on the stage at all.

Judging by the attire of the young Taoist priest in front of him, he is probably not a mortal.

Chen Yuan continued: "What's more, the two of you don't have any deep hatred. Each of you has unique skills. The previous conflict was just a small conflict."

The scholar surnamed Dong didn't talk to him when he heard the words. He quietly looked at the young Taoist priest in front of him, who was invited by Xu San to help make peace.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on his sallow face:
"Taoist, if you want to say that you can be with us, it depends on whether you have the ability. If you have the courage, you can stay in my courtyard for one night."

"If you dare to live in my courtyard successfully for one night, let alone let me let him go, even if you can turn a fight into a friendship, it's not impossible to become friends."

Chen Yuan thought of what Xu San said just now, the rumors that this courtyard is haunted.

Without thinking about it, he agreed, "It's a deal."

Except when he went to the City God's banquet, he saw those female ghosts dancing and serving wine for the guests in the main hall. He had traveled to this world for so long, and he hadn't seen what ghosts looked like. He really wanted to see them.

Seeing that Chen Yuan agreed so straightforwardly, the scholar surnamed Dong felt a little uncertain for a while.

He added: "Okay, quitting halfway is not counted. If there is an accident, I will not be responsible."

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Yes."

While speaking, Chen Yuan turned his gaze to Xu San beside him.

Asked Xu Sandao: "Are you staying or come to the yard to look for me tomorrow morning?"

Xu San thought for a while and said, "Master Daoist, I am willing to accompany you."

First of all, Chen Yuan was invited by him to help, if he left like this, he would appear a little greedy for life and afraid of death.

Secondly, he traveled all year round, and sometimes encountered ghosts. After a long time, he also knew a lot of ways to deal with ghosts. He was not afraid of ordinary ghosts and the like.

"it is good."

Chen Yuan nodded.

From this point of view, Xu San is still a person who can be handed over.

He was invited by Xu San to help, at least Xu San didn't leave because he was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Although Xu Sanli would not leave, he didn't care much.

……

Then the scholar surnamed Dong welcomed Chen Yuan and Xu San into the yard.

However, Chen Yuan and Xu San were regarded as bad guests. After the scholar surnamed Dong arranged rooms for them, he went back to his own room, closed the door and left them alone.

He didn't even show up at dusk, so of course he didn't have to eat dinner.

Chen Yuan and Xu San had no choice but to go out of Yongfu Lane and each ate a bowl of batter in a shop.

Before dark, I returned to the home of a scholar named Dong.

After Chen Yuan returned to the room arranged for him by a scholar surnamed Dong, he untied the rusty sword wrapped in black cloth, put it beside the bed, sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice "Taiyi Jinhua Purpose", and the vitality in his body was stimulated. He moved, and slowly walked around the sky, and the spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth slowly gathered towards him.

The essence and vitality in the body are also constantly blending.

The house of a scholar surnamed Dong is a one-entry pattern.

On the south side is the courtyard gate and wall, and on the north side is the main house where the scholar surnamed Dong lives, plus the hall and study room.

To the west is the kitchen and the pens for raising livestock, and to the east is the side house where Chen Yuan and Xu San live.

Time passed, and soon it was midnight, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

Chen Yuan changed the method of cultivation from "Taiyi Jinhua Tenet" to "Fetal Breath Jue", allowing himself to be in a state of fetal breath that seems to be sleeping but not sleeping.

Just when Chen Yuan was about to fall asleep, he felt the wooden bed under him start to move, as if something lifted the wooden bed and him on the wooden bed, out of the house and yard, walking through the night.

When going out, he even knocked him against the door frame several times.

"Is he asleep?"

"It looks like he should be asleep, otherwise he would have woken up early!"

"He slept so deeply, like a dead pig. We carried him to the edge of the cliff and threw him down. He might not know it until he died."

"According to Mr. Dong, this young Taoist priest helped the frog tamer get ahead. Let's take him to the old lady and just scare him. Don't kill him."

……

A few voices were whispering, Chen Yuan listened intently to their conversation, and did not respond to the ups and downs of the wooden bed under him, pretending to be in a deep sleep.

He wanted to see what kind of old lady these voices around him were talking about.
