And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 66
Chen Yuan took Gongsun Yue, the county magistrate, back to his house together.

After serving him tea, he sat at the stone table in the yard and asked him: "What is there to find the poor way, you can say it now."

After some humility, Gongsun Yue, who was sitting under the stone table, put the gift in his hand on the stone table again, and then said respectfully to Chen Yuan:
"Does the Taoist know that there is a group of bandits on the official road from Mengliang Town to Pingliang County?"

Chen Yuan nodded and said:
"This poor dao knows that when the poor dao passed through Mengliang town before, he heard from an innkeeper in Mengliang town that this group of bandits had been entrenched on the official road for a long time, and the government had tried to arrest them several times. Didn't catch him."

Seeing that Chen Yuan knew about this, Gongsun Yue, the magistrate of Pingliang County, looked very happy: "It's good that the Taoist priest knows about this."

"However, the Taoist chief probably doesn't know the inside story. That gang of bandits has been entrenched on the official road for nearly three months. Many people have lost their lives and looted a lot of property."

"They can always avoid them. Our government sent government agents or officers and soldiers to arrest them. That's why this group of bandits is still at large."

"We ruled out the possibility of bandits operating inside the government. Even before the action, only I, the county magistrate, knew that the bandits were still able to escape the government's siege without knowing when an order to exterminate the bandits was issued temporarily."

Gongsun Yue of Pingliang County continued.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Chen Yuan asked puzzledly.

"I suspect that among the bandits entrenched in Mengliang Town and Pingliang County, there may be bandits who know the spell of the prophet."

Gongsun Yue, magistrate of Pingliang County, said firmly.

"Afterwards, we tried several times and sent troops to destroy the bandits, all with the same result. Although the secrecy measures were kept very strict every time, the bandits still escaped. Therefore, I am sure that my guess is correct."

The magistrate of Pingliang County looked at Chen Yuan, as if he was asking what Chen Yuan thought.

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment when he heard the words, this is a world with gods and ghosts.

He had seen ordinary mortals practice the art of creating animals before, and it seemed that it was not impossible for the bandits to know the spell of the prophet.

"Didn't your yamen government look for other practitioners and ask their opinions?"

Chen Yuan asked Gongsun Yue.

After staying in Lujiang City for a while, he knew that there were practitioners in most places, and even in some places, there were practitioners.

In some Taoist temples and Buddhist temples on the mountain, no one knows whether the people living in the temples are ordinary monks or Taoists, or masters who are practicing here.

"The Taoist priest doesn't know something. Our Pingliang County is barren. In the few temples and temples in the area, there are ordinary monks and Taoist priests, and there are no practitioners."

"Perhaps there are also hidden masters who are unknown to the world, which I don't know about, similar to Taoist priests."

"If I hadn't learned from the magistrate, I wouldn't know that Pingliang County has such an expert as a Taoist priest."

Gongsun Yue realized that he had inadvertently mentioned the magistrate again, and changed his tone quickly.

"The only practitioner I know is a monk named Shimo Teng from Tianzhu. He practiced in Jinguang Temple in Pingliang County. It has only been three years since he came here. I also came to ask him for help before, but But he opened his mouth like a lion and proposed that a thousand taels of gold is needed to resolve this matter."

"But Pingliang County is just a small county. After deducting the taxes paid to the court, there is no way to get a thousand taels of gold."

Gongsun Yue, the magistrate of Pingliang County, smiled wryly.

Chen Yuan thought for a while, and he remembered that his master Lu Yan once said that in the world, there are only ordinary people who cannot predict the prophets.

A practitioner with a huge background, a profound fortune, a great karma, or a person who has a magic weapon to protect his body, cannot be predicted by the spells of ordinary prophets.

It just so happens that he has the Taishang scarf robe blessed by the heavenly gods, which can be said to be invulnerable to all dharmas, and has other magical functions.

It is one of the magical functions of Taishang Jinpao to isolate others from divination.

As long as he wears the Taishang scarf robe, even the gods in the sky may not be able to predict him.

In other words, he was an exception, and the divination spells of those bandits didn't work on him at all.

"Pindao has a way."

Chen Yuan thought for a moment, and said to Gongsun Yue, the magistrate of Pingliang County.

"Master, please speak."

Gongsun Yue was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said hastily.

Hearing Chen Yuan say this, he knew that he had asked the wrong person.

Chen Yuan didn't speak, but chanted the incantation of turning stone into gold, and after making a formula with the magic of five elements, he pointed to the side, and pointed at a stone bench next to the two of them.

In the blink of an eye, this ordinary stone bench turned into a golden stool that was made of gold and shone brightly in the sunlight.

"Your government will find a way to send this golden stool to the gang of robbers."

After finishing the matter, Chen Yuan said to Gongsun Yue, the magistrate of Pingliang County who was already staring at him.

"Alchemy?"

Gongsun Yue, the magistrate of Pingliang County, recognized this magic that only legendary immortals could know.

After a while, Gongsun Yue, the magistrate of Pingliang County, came back to his senses. He looked at Chen Yuan with a wry smile and said:
"Master Daoist, I know that you have great supernatural powers and powerful abilities, but you don't need to give such a large piece of gold to the robbers. Is it cheaper for the robbers?"

"Such a large piece of gold is probably worth the tax revenue of Pingliang County for a year. If you give this golden stool to the bandits, they will be very happy."

He came to befriend Chen Yuan because he wanted to ask Chen Yuan to do it himself, or to help him figure out a way to get rid of the gang of robbers and eliminate harm for the people.

It's not about wanting those robbers to get such a big deal.

Chen Yuan shook his head and said:

"Lord magistrate, you don't know something. Pindao's gold is not so easy to get. You just hand it over to the gangsters. It will take a few days for them to put it to death."

Chen Yuan is very confident in his improved alchemy technique. The principle of this alchemy technique is still based on borrowing luck.

But at the beginning, it was borrowed from his fortune. Once someone got the gold he turned into using the alchemy technique, and became greedy, the gold would change its target and continuously absorb the person's fortune.

Ordinary people's wealth luck is insignificant, and it won't be long before this person's wealth luck dries up, and all fortunes will be swallowed by him.

If someone got this gold, they would have bad luck, and within a few days, they would die unexpectedly.

To put it bluntly, this stone-to-gold technique has been passed on to him from the original master Lu Yan. A reminder to keep the Taoist heart and only see unusable spells was changed by Chen Yuan into a spell that can cut people's luck.

The only way to resist this spell is to stay true to one's heart when seeing the gold, without greed in one's heart.

But for ordinary mortals, seeing such a large piece of gold, it is very difficult to do it.

Gongsun Yue, the magistrate of Pingliang County, didn't believe it at first, but seeing that Chen Yuan didn't look like he was joking, he couldn't help swallowing, and looked at the golden stool next to him, which was still very attractive in his eyes just now. But it has become a life-threatening thing.

"Does the Taoist priest have anything else to ask?"

After dispelling his greed for the golden stool, Gongsun Yue asked again.

"The process of finding someone to transport this item to the robbers is best placed in a wooden box. In addition, try to choose an honest and selfless government official to do this."

"Otherwise, if a yamen servant becomes greedy on the way and takes away this golden stool, then Fu Zhu is a yamen servant."

Chen Yuan reminded.

"The Taoist priest asked, and I will keep it in my heart."

Hearing Chen Yuan's reminder, Gongsun Yue's heart trembled.

Gongsun Yue stood up and said goodbye, and was about to go back to the Yamen to select the Yamen, and "deliver" the golden stool to the bandits.

"Master magistrate, please find a craftsman to build a stone bench that is exactly the same, and send it to the yard to make up for the lack of stone benches in my yard."

When Gongsun Yue left, Chen Yuan said to Gongsun Yue.

"No problem, the Daoist chief took action to help the yamen and the people, which is what the yamen should do."

Gongsun Yue quickly nodded in agreement.

"Master Dao, do you see the box of tea and pastries I brought?"

The more Gongsun thought about the gift he had brought.

"Stay."

Chen Yuan nodded calmly.

"Thank you sir."

Seeing that Chen Yuan left the gift he brought and did not refuse, Gongsun Yue said happily.
