Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 103 Xie Ziran

It was already noon when we returned to Luoyang City.

The night was so dark yesterday that Chen Yun really didn't have time to appreciate the scenery of Luoyang.

Luoyang City has magnificent buildings, wide streets, prosperous population and strong cultural atmosphere.

Chen Yun was walking on the street and from time to time he could see old, middle-aged, young and young men dressed as Confucian scholars.

This is something rarely seen in other cities.

In addition, the roads in Luoyang City are also different from other cities.

The roads in Xigou City have bluestone floors, which makes walking a bit stumbling.

The roads in Luoyang City are made of soil and sand that are mixed and compacted, with fine sand paved on top, giving people the feel of a modern road.

There are many palaces, temples, gardens and markets in the city. The street layout of Luoyang City is also very distinctive. It is mainly composed of four main streets and eight small streets from east to west, south and north, forming a crossroads pattern.

This layout makes the transportation in Luoyang City very convenient, and also facilitates the development of business and culture.

At a glance, merchants gathered together with a dazzling array of goods.

Merchants here come from all over the world and bring a variety of goods such as silk, tea, porcelain, spices, etc., attracting a large number of customers to buy.

There are also many cultural places in the city such as academies, theaters, temples, etc.

Chen Yungang passed by a Taoist temple and was enjoying the scenery with great interest.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind, "Uncle Junior, have you come to Luoyang City too?"

Huh?
Is it He Xiangu?

Chen Yun turned around and saw two ordinary-looking women dressed like Xiaojiabiyu standing behind him.

Among them, the girl in the green skirt on the left exudes a familiar scent of perfume. Unsurprisingly, she is He Xiangu. She probably used the art of transformation, so her appearance does not match her.

As for who the other woman in the white dress was, he really didn't know.

Chen Yunzuo bowed his head and saluted, "I have seen the real Xiangu."

He Xiangu blinked and said: "I heard that you caused a lot of commotion in Luoyang. Even my mentor went to help you in person?"

Chen Yun sweated and said, "Xiangu, please stop teasing me. I have nothing else to do."

Seeing that He Xiangu still wanted to make fun of her.

Chen Yun quickly changed the subject and said: "Xiangu, don't you know what to call the fairy next to you?"

The woman in the white dress said very coldly: "It's natural to be poor."

Ok?
Are you Xie Ziran?
Chen Yun couldn't help but be startled.

This is a famous figure in Taoist history.

According to rumors, Xie Ziran studied under Sima Chengzhen, and he excelled in his youth. In his early years, he soared in the white sun of Xishan Mountain and ascended to immortality. He shocked the ancient and modern times. He set a model for Taoist cultivators of later generations and gave confidence to cultivators of all generations, especially female cultivators.

Xie Ziran's ascension feat shocked the government and the public. It proved with irrefutable facts that the ultimate cultivation can lead to the state of both body and spirit, body immortality, and ascension to immortality. It is true and refutes the belief of many sects that ascension It's just a matter of the soul, and the conclusion that the body must die.

It can be said that Xie Ziran created a new milestone in cultivation.

Now that Chen Yun saw this legendary Jurchen, he was naturally particularly surprised.

As for why Xie Ziran and He Xiangu acted like sisters, Chen Yun could understand this.

Xie Ziran's master, Sima Chengzhen, was the 12th Grand Master of the Shangqing Sect of Taoism. Later, he was summoned by Dongwanggong, became an immortal, and became the Qingtong Lord of the East China Sea. Speaking of which, he could barely be considered a member of the Dongwanggong lineage.

Because of this, it is natural for He Xiangu and Xie Ziran to get close.

These thoughts flashed through Chen Yun's mind.

He immediately saluted respectfully and said: "Chen Chongyong has met the real person of Dongji."

Xie Ziran seemed a little ignorant of the world, or was not prepared to make friends with Chen Yun at all, so he just nodded slightly.

He Xiangu said: "Little Master Uncle, you don't need to pay attention to her. She has such a cold temperament with everyone."

Regardless of whether he was cold-tempered or not, Chen Yun couldn't have any objection, after all, the other party was a real person.

He simply ignored Xie Ziran and turned to look at He Xiangu and said, "Xiangu, why did you come to Luoyang?"

He Xiangu had a good relationship with Chen Yun, and she did not hide anything. She said casually: "It is the birthday of Taishang Daojun recently. According to the custom, the sect country will sacrifice the birthday of the Three Pure Realms and Three Treasures in the capital every year. Therefore, I, the Taoist Ten Thousand Immortals Qi Let’s gather together to celebrate Tianzun’s birthday.”

Taishang Daodaojun is Lingbao Tianzun. Nowadays, it is generally called Taishang Daodaojun. It was not until the Song Dynasty that the terms Lingbao Tianzun and Lingbao Lord became popular.

In addition, Taishang Daojun’s birthday falls on the summer solstice.

Because the summer solstice is not fixed, it sometimes falls in early May, sometimes in mid-May, and sometimes in late May.

Now it is mid-to-late May, and the days are approaching the summer solstice. It is indeed Tianzun's birthday.

While she was thinking, He Xiangu said again: "Master Dongji and I haven't come to Luoyang for a long time and want to have a good time, so I won't chat with you for the time being."

"Okay." Chen Yunzuo bowed his head and saluted, "I would like to send you the Fairy Lady and Master Dongji."

This time Xie Ziran was different from her previous indifference. She took the initiative to bow to him and then left with the fairy.

After bidding farewell to the fairy aunt, Chen Yun walked all the way towards the house given to him by Zhang Chengfan.

As everyone knows, Xie Ziran and He Xiangu are discussing him.

The two of them were walking on the street.

Xie Ziran frowned slightly and said, "Xiu Gu, is this young master uncle of yours really a disciple of Teacher Zhongli?"

He Xiangu was startled, "Of course, why did you say that?"

Xie Ziran said: "I sensed three different forces in him just now. The most powerful one is the true energy of your inner alchemy, the second is the body refining method, and finally there seems to be the method of refining the Yin God. The type of his cultivation There are so many, and there are also heresies among them, why doesn’t Teacher Zhongli give some advice?”

Hearing this, He Xiangu pursed her lips and smiled, "You don't know something now. I, the Duke of the East, always pay attention to personal enlightenment. The so-called learning is successful and comprehensive. I am not afraid that you will learn miscellaneous things, but I am afraid that you will not be able to apply what you have learned. For example, my mentor Chunyang Zhenren, Huolong Zhenren once taught to him, and later he learned the inner alchemy way of the ancestor, didn’t he also integrate it into his own inner alchemy way? In addition, I am not bragging, I, He Qiong The way of alchemy is to supplement the inner alchemy with external elixirs, and it is also a school of its own."

Xie Ziran seems to have realized something, "If one day he can integrate what he has learned in his life, he can indeed become a great master."

He Xiangu looked at her and said softly: "When it comes to the sanctification of the physical body, few people in the world can compare with you. If my little uncle wants to integrate the sanctification of the physical body with the way of alchemy, I'm afraid I will ask you to teach me in the future. At that time... I hope you can take my face into account and give me some guidance."

Xie Ziran still had a cold expression on his face, "He begged to come and tell me. No one can learn my great method. If he can really understand it, I will be delighted."

He Xiangu understood this immediately, and the other party expressed her willingness to give advice.

She smiled brightly and said: "Since you are so generous, I will give you half of the perfume...forget it, let me give you [-]%."

Xie Ziran hummed softly: "Small device."

……

On the other side, Chen Yun groped his way to the mansion presented by Zhang Chengfan.

The place is surrounded by splendid mansions, and you can tell at a glance that many dignitaries live there.His own mansion was no less generous. Before Chen Yun walked in, he saw that the entire mansion covered an area of ​​about two to three thousand square meters. Although it was not as good as Bai Juyi's super mansion of eight thousand square meters, in a capital like Luoyang where land is at a premium, It is particularly rare for an important land to occupy such a large area.

Crossing the threshold of the vermilion-lacquered gate, there is a garden-like scenery inside.

There are crowds of flowers and green trees inside.

The houses are arranged in a well-proportioned manner, giving people a dignified and atmospheric feeling.

Only then did Chen Yun realize that his previous valuation of the mansion might have been a little low.

You must know that Lin Chen's two-bedroom apartment of 420 to [-] square meters costs [-] yuan.

The location of this two to three thousand square meter mansion is far better than in the suburbs.

Chen Yun estimated that this mansion was worth at least [-] to [-] yuan.

Just walked near the main hall.

Chen Yun saw Zhang Qian and Lin Chen discussing something.

He walked forward and said hello: "Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Lin."

Zhang Gan turned around and said, "Senior Brother Chen."

Lin Chen also looked sideways and said with a look of amazement: "Senior Brother Chen, your mansion is too luxurious, isn't it? Senior Brother Zhang and I spent a long time looking for a dining room in this morning. It's really luxurious. It’s the ultimate!”

Chen Yun smiled and waved his hands and said: "This is an external thing. Besides, I will live in Luoyang soon. From now on, you and Senior Brother Zhang will stay here. If I come to Luoyang, I don't need to stay in an inn."

Zhang Ganshen said in agreement: "It is true that an inn is not as comfortable as staying at home."

Having said this, he frowned slightly, "It's just that this mansion is so big that Junior Brother Lin and I can't take care of it."

Chen Yun had already considered this question, but he did not say it immediately. Instead, he asked: "Two senior brothers, please forgive me for asking, what kind of business are you planning to run in Luoyang?"

Zhang Qian looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen understood and said truthfully: "Senior Brother Zhang and I have been at the Taoist Temple for five years. All we have learned is to ask the immortal Fuluan, ask for fortune-telling, and various classics. If we make a living, we can tell people's fortunes. Occasionally, Drive away evil spirits.”

Chen Yun thought for a while and said: "Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Lin, it's not that I look down on you, but it's really dangerous to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts. Take the last time we went to the Wu Family Courtyard as an example, even the evil ghosts with a little bit of Taoism can do it. If you really want to make a living, I have an idea here, but there is a prerequisite. You must find a way to keep this business, otherwise you may attract others to covet it, which will be detrimental to you. Of course, if you are willing to fight As the direct disciples of the Taoist Temple, no mortal nobles dare to do anything to you."

Lin Chen humbly asked for advice: "Senior Brother Chen, what kind of business is this?"

Chen Yun looked at Zhang Qian and asked, "Senior Brother Zhang, do you still remember the soap I once made?"

Zhang Qian took a breath and said, "Senior Brother Chen, do you even want to teach us such a precious secret recipe?"

Lin Chen was still a little confused. It wasn't until Zhang Qian explained that he understood how precious the soap was. For a while, he kept saying that he didn't dare to ask for it.

Chen Yun only has Zhang Qian and Li Si as his best friends in this world, and Lin Chen can be counted as half of them.

Naturally, he didn't want the two of them to take risks like eliminating evil spirits again.

After Chen Yun persuaded them for a long time, they finally agreed to accept the secret recipe.

Lin Chen and Zhang Qian were so grateful that they even vowed that if they really made a profit, [-]% of the profits would be given to Chen Yun, and the remaining [-]% would be shared equally between them.

Although Chen Yun didn't care about money, he knew that if he didn't agree with his two friends, they might be stuck on this issue for a long time.

After talking about making a living.

Chen Yun called Lin Chen aside, and then took out the Zhong Kui Talisman solemnly and unusually, "Senior Brother Lin, you missed this Talisman when we went to the Wu Family Courtyard. I picked it up by chance. I wanted to return it to you that night, but who I know you were expelled by Senior Brother Wang... Well, now that the things have been delivered to you, I feel relieved that they have returned to their original owners."

Lin Chen looked at Chen Yun with a moved expression, "Senior Brother Chen, you traveled all the way to Luoyang just to return my Zhongkui Talisman? This friendship is touching."

Chen Yun smiled and said, "I won't take things that aren't mine. Okay, put them away quickly."

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen waved his hand and said: "Brother Chen, now I am making a living in the mortal world. With the secret recipe for making soap you gave me, I no longer have to face those evil spirits. This Zhong Kui Talisman can only deal with evil things, otherwise You’d better keep it.”

Chen Yun refused and said: "Hey, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the worst. If you had Zhong Kui Talisman with you before, you would not be captured by the Corpse Execution Immortal."

Lin Chen said: "Senior Brother Chen, you gave me such a precious secret recipe for making soap, but I have nothing to express. This is rude. It just so happens that the Zhongkui Talisman allows me to express something. Please don't insist on returning it to me." ”

Chen Yun tried to persuade him many times, but the other party refused to take back the Zhong Kui Talisman.

In the end, he felt helpless. While putting away the Zhong Kui Talisman, he said: "Senior Brother Lin, let me ask you, now that you have been away from the Taoist Temple for a long time, do you still have the ambition to follow the Tao?"

Although he didn't know why he asked like this, Lin Chen still said truthfully: "Well, of course I have the ambition to be a Taoist, but... alas, I have no destiny to be a Taoist."

Chen Yun blinked and said, "What if I said I could teach you a secret technique so that you could continue to follow the path?"

Lin Chen suddenly looked at Chen Yun's face, his eyes struggling.

Finally, he breathed out a long breath and said: "Senior Brother Chen, I can't harm you. You have finally been accepted by the Patriarch. If you teach Dafa to me, you may be blamed by the Patriarch or even... expelled. Portal.”

Chen Yun laughed loudly, "Senior Brother Lin, I am satisfied with your words. Let me tell you the truth, this secret method is not the Taoist Temple, but I got it by chance. I have passed it on to Senior Brother Zhang. If you don't want to Just learn that."

Well, he was deliberately teasing Lin Chen with the last sentence.

As expected, when Lin Chen heard that he would not harm Chen Yun, he immediately said with a flattering look on his face: "No, no, Senior Brother Chen, I will learn. Of course I want to learn."

Only then did Chen Yun teach Lin Chen the method of cultivating Yinshen.

It was precisely because he taught Dafa that he felt at ease after accepting the Zhong Kui Talisman.

After all, in terms of preciousness, the Secret Technique of Immortality is hundreds or thousands of times more valuable than Zhong Kui's Talisman.

When teaching the secret method of cultivating the Yin God, Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Originally, he came all the way to Luoyang just to return the Zhongkui Talisman to Lin Chen.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen finally gave this precious talisman to him.

Chen Yun felt that this might be a guide from somewhere.

Perhaps, this Zhong Kui Talisman will come in handy at some point in the future. Otherwise, how could it have ended up in my hands after all the detours?
Make arrangements for your friends to make a living.

I feel at ease and can obtain the Zhongkui Talisman.

Overall, Chen Yun was in a very good mood.

Stay here for one day, then return to Taoist Temple tomorrow, boil the Qi Refining and Transformation Decoction as soon as possible, work hard to become a low-level mage, and then learn the techniques from your mentor.

As for after learning the technique, Chen Yun's eyes narrowed involuntarily when he thought of this.

He remembered that Lin Feiyun was making things difficult for him. If he hadn't had a strong background, he might have killed his two innocent friends Zhang Qian and Lin Chen.

Doing it yourself is understandable.

Chen Yun cannot forgive him for hurting innocent relatives and friends.

Therefore, he had thought that as long as he became a low-level mage and learned the magic, he would definitely seek revenge on Lin Feiyun.

Not because I am competitive, but because I want to seek justice for my two friends Zhang Qian and Lin Chen!
Therefore, Lin Feiyun must die!
