Chapter 73
This morning, Chen Yuan got up early.

As usual, I went to eat haggis soup in the shop opened by the young couple at the entrance of the alley.

However, he found that Gongsun Yue, the county magistrate of Pingliang County, was already waiting here, wearing a normal uniform, and ordered a bowl of haggis soup for himself and a bowl for Chen Yuan.

"Master Dao, according to what the master's nephew said, he discovered the corpse of the master's family that was discarded at the bottom of the well after he inherited the house. He was afraid of getting involved in a lawsuit, so he didn't report the case, and directly hid the body at the bottom of the well. We interrogated him many times, and he always said the same thing, and he was out of town at the time, so it didn't look like he was lying."

After asking Chen Yuan to take a seat, Gongsun Yue told Chen Yuan what Xu Weng's nephew they had brought back from Lujiang City, the prefectural city, asked from Xu Weng's nephew while eating the haggis soup.

When he spoke, Gongsun Yue looked a little ashamed. He boasted before, but he didn't expect this to become an unsolved unsolved case.

"It really has nothing to do with him."

Chen Yuan nodded, as if he knew what happened a long time ago.

"How did the priest know?"

Gongsun Yue was surprised.

"After your yamen buried the family of six, that night, the ghosts of the family came to find the poor Taoist."

Chen Yuan said calmly.

"Then what do they say?"

As a county parent official, Gongsun Yue was very curious about how the family died and how the corpse appeared at the bottom of the well.

Chen Yuan then told the whole story completely.

"There is such a miracle in the world?"

Gongsun Yue couldn't help being surprised when he heard that it was the reincarnation of a debt collector who brought the whole family into trouble.

After eating the haggis soup, Gongsun Yue, the county magistrate, left early.

Now that Chen Yuan has learned the whole story, the case is considered closed.

After Chen Yuan finished eating the haggis soup, he got up to pay the young couple.

"Chen Daochang, you don't need to pay, the county magistrate has already paid for you in advance."

The wife of the young couple looked at Chen Yuan, her expression mixed with awe.

Now it is not only the whole alley, but also the whole west of the city. With the help of the young Taoist in front of him, the yamen dug up the bones of six former masters' family in the house that was rumored to have a demon.

Looking at it now, this young Taoist priest is indeed an expert with great abilities.

Hearing that Gongsun Yue, the county magistrate, had paid, Chen Yuan didn't say any more, turned around and left, there was only a bowl of haggis soup left and right.

But Chen Yuan didn't see that when he walked out of the haggis soup shop, all the customers in the shop also looked at him in awe.

In the hearts of the surrounding guests, Chen Yuan, who lives in this alley, is an out-and-out strange person.

Didn't you see that even the county magistrate, who is a majestic county parent official, is befriending this young Taoist priest?
……

After returning home.

Chen Yuan didn't do other things, but was checking Rust Sword.

Because during this period of time, his perception of Rust Sword became more and more clear, and Rust Sword became more and more spiritual.

Even with Chen Yuan's thought, the Rusty Sword could fly from the bedside of the dormitory to the hand of Chen Yuan who was sitting at the stone table under the pear tree.

"It seems that raising the sword will be completed in the near future."

Chen Yuan sat at the stone table under the pear tree, looking at the rusty sword in his hand.

I saw the rusty sword in my hand. Ninety percent of the original rust on the sword had faded away, leaving only some rusty spots on the hilt.

Chen Yuan could feel a sharp edge brewing on this rusty sword.

In the "Hunyuan Sword Classic" revised by Master Lu Yan, it is said that if you want to cultivate a divine sword that is connected with your own mind, in addition to finding a spirit of the sword, you must use the "Tianqing God's Mantra" Raising a sword for a hundred days, the sword owner needs to get along with the sword he raises day and night.

And now there are still a few days left, and it will be a hundred days.

In the beginning, Chen Yuan even held the Rusty Sword while sleeping. Later, as his attainments in the "Hunyuan Sword Classic" deepened, he realized that raising a sword doesn't need to carry the Rusty Sword with him day and night. Just put it within three feet of yourself.

In the next few days, Chen Yuan paid close attention to Rust Sword's situation.

In addition to regularly replacing the "Tianqing Mantra" for Rust Sword, whenever he practiced, Chen Yuan would put Rust Sword within three feet of him in order to cultivate a tacit understanding.

Another seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was noon on this day.

Chen Yuan was sitting under the pear tree to enjoy the shade after lunch.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. At noon, it is enough to wear only a toga and a single shirt.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan is almost the same, he has reached the point where the cold and heat do not invade, and he only wears a Taoist robe for many years.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Snow Lady."

Chen Yuan sat there without moving, and after a random shout, the white mouse Xueniang, who was lying on the pear tree and stone table, jumped out like an arrow that left the string.

He ran to the gate of the house, stood upright like a human, and opened the gate with his forelimbs.

What I saw standing outside the door was a middle-aged scribe with elegant temperament, and a beautiful woman with unparalleled appearance.

It is Jia Shedao, the city god of Luzhou, and the brocade empress, the river god of Lujiang.

"Two friends, why are you here?"

Seeing the two gods outside the door, Chen Yuan was a little surprised and stood up from the stone table.

"Why fellow Taoist? Could it be that we are not welcome?"

Seeing Chen Yuan like this, Luzhou City God Jia Shedao joked.

"When a guest comes from afar, he is welcome."

Chen Yuan laughed.

After the two gods walked into the courtyard, Chen Yuan invited the two gods to sit down.

Chen Yuan sits in the east of the main seat, while Jia Shedao, the city god of Luzhou, and the brocade empress, the river god of Lujiang, sit in the west and north seats of guest seats.

After ordering the white mouse Xueniang to go to the kitchen to make tea and serve tea to the two guests.

"Why did you two come to the humble house together?"

Chen Yuan asked.

"When I went to visit the empress's house today, I suddenly chatted with a good friend. It happened that the god knew where the daoist friend lived, so I brought my empress to visit the daoist friend."

Luzhou City God Jia She explained with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is a poor house in Pindao, unlike your gods' cave, where there are precious wines, please don't dislike them."

Chen Yuan said to the brocade lady who came to the door for the first time.

"There is a place where immortals live, it is a blessed place in the cave. Fellow Daoists, this courtyard is surrounded by the aura of heaven and earth. It can be said to be beautiful, but it is not a humble house."

After looking around the yard, the brocade empress pursed her lips and said with a smile.

It's not that she compliments Chen Yuan, but that she can clearly feel that Chen Yuan's small courtyard is indeed different from ordinary small courtyards, and there is a spirit of heaven and earth lingering around.

Then she saw, just after making tea for them, she hid in the kitchen and did not dare to come out, but just sneaked out half of her body to look at their white mouse Xueniang, a few traces of surprise and doubt flashed in her eyes.

"That's a rat demon raised by fellow daoist."

Seeing the brocade lady looking at Xueniang, Jia She, the city god of Luzhou who had been here once, explained.

"I see."

The Brocade Empress took a few more glances at the White Mouse Xueniang.

Afterwards, the three chatted about the old days, and Chen Yuan told the Luzhou City God and the Brocade Empress about the strange things that happened in his yard recently.

After hearing this story, the Lujiang City God laughed and said:

"Fellow Daoist, those villains who appeared in your room in the middle of the night and cried for mourning are "soul ghosts". You have accomplished a meritorious deed by chance and saved that family."

"Everyone knows that the human soul is composed of three souls and seven souls."

"But I don't know that after death, if a person is not buried and is trapped underground, he cannot enter the underworld and can only become a wandering ghost."

"It's okay to be a wandering ghost in a short period of time, but after a maximum of ten years, the soul and mind will dissipate and disperse into the kind of ghosts that are a few inches high. They can only act on instinct. If it takes a few more years , it can only disappear in smoke.”

Chen Yuan said in amazement: "It turns out that those villains are actually called "soul ghosts"."

During the whole process, Chen Yuan and the Lujiang City God were mostly chatting, and the brocade empress was listening, and sometimes the brocade empress would speak and interrupt to make some comments.

clank!

Just when the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, there was the sound of clanging swords in Chen Yuan's room.

"Daoist is this?"

When the Lujiang City God heard the sound of the sword clanging, he seemed to have a sharp edge, and asked Chen Yuan in surprise.

"I have some things to deal with. Please wait in the courtyard for a while, fellow daoists."

A look of joy appeared between Chen Yuan's brows, and he immediately got up and said.

"Fellow Daoist, deal with it first, don't worry about us."

Lujiang City God Road.

"That's right, Fellow Daoist, go get busy if you have something to do."

Empress Weaving Brocade also said aside.

Only then did Chen Yuan walk into the house with peace of mind.
