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

Chapter 22 Night Training
At the beginning of Haishi, it is also called Dinghun.

That's about nine o'clock in the evening.

It was late at night, the lights of thousands of houses had long been extinguished, and everything had gone into dormancy early.

"I made a lot of money today."

"Haha, I have saved a lot over the years. When I come back to my hometown after five years, I will be a rich man. Junior Brother Li, what do you want to do most after you come down from the mountain after five years?"

"Senior Brother Zhang, I should be able to marry a wife and start my business."

The group of four returned to the mountain gate.

Although Lin Chen, Zhang Qian and Li Si were more or less injured, they were very excited after making money.

No, as soon as the armor and horse talisman was put away, the three of them chatted non-stop.

Chen Yun didn't say anything, but he was also a little happy in his heart.

Counting the small gold beads I picked up, I currently have eight taels and five gold.

It should be enough to buy a lot of medicinal materials.

Chen Yun thinks differently from everyone else. He only has one purpose of making money, which is to help himself achieve immortality.

The foundation-building soup, essence-transforming soup and even qi-transforming soup in the front of "Da Luo Ling Tang" require the use of many medicinal materials.

The main medicine is generally not available.

Most of the remaining auxiliary medicinal materials can be bought with money.

Some of these medicinal materials are very precious and require more than a tiny bit of money.

For example, Chen Yun waits until the foundation building is completed to refine the grains and convert them into essence, and Ganoderma lucidum is needed in the essence-transforming soup.

In Chen Yun's previous life, Ganoderma lucidum could be cultivated artificially and the price was relatively low.

However, in this society similar to ancient China, the price of a pound of C-grade Ganoderma lucidum is as high as 500 to [-] taels of silver.

It is not uncommon for the top grade A-grade Ganoderma to cost at least 1000 taels of silver, and as much as several thousand taels per catty.

Naturally, Chen Yun had to save some money and try to buy some good Ganoderma lucidum.

Everyone walked inside while chatting.

Li Si suddenly said: "Senior Brother Lin, I will return the armor and horse talisman to you."

Lin Chen waved his hand and said, "I'll give it to you brothers."

Zhang Qian couldn't help but sigh: "This armor and horse talisman can travel a total of [-] miles. It will burn and burn when it reaches the limit. Such a precious thing can be given away at any time. Junior Brother Lin, you are really a righteous person."

Oh.

It turns out that the armor and horse talisman can travel a total of [-] miles.

Chen Yun said thanks and carefully put away the armor and horse talisman.

As soon as he put away the Jiama Talisman, he suddenly remembered that he had picked up the more precious Zhongkui Talisman in the Wu Family Courtyard.

I used the Armor and Horse Talisman to rush on the road, and I couldn't speak at all, let alone return the Armor and Horse Talisman.

Now that he was free, Chen Yun was about to take out the talisman and return it, "Senior Brother Lin, you're so stupid..."

Not finished.

Lin Chen's face suddenly changed after he had just crossed the mountain gate, and he said in a voiceless voice: "Something bad has happened!"

Chen Yun thought he had discovered that Zhong Kui's talisman was missing, and was about to say that it was on his side.

Who would have thought that Zhang Qian also said with a wry smile: "It's over, I'm going to be punished!"

Although Li Si didn't speak, the expression on his face wasn't very pretty.

Chen Yun didn't react at first, but when he followed the gazes of the three people and looked inside the Taoist Temple, he realized what had happened.

I saw the main hall located in the center of the Taoist temple, which was brightly lit at the moment.

The main hall is dedicated to the three gods Taishang Laojun, Dongwanggong and Zhengyang Enlightenment Evangelist Zhenjun, corresponding to Laozi, Wang Xuanfu and Zhongli Quan respectively.

Chen Yun knew all these things after entering the Taoist Temple for more than 20 days.

However, the main hall used to be open only in the early morning, and long-term workers were not allowed to enter. Only the four official disciples of Zhongli Quan, Wang Laozhi, Zheng Wenshu, Wang Zaixi and Chen Yun, who had never met Cai Rujin, could enter.

Now the lights are brightly lit at the beginning of Haishi?

Apparently something big is going on, or someone is waiting for them!
Chen Yun estimates that the latter is more likely.

After all, they went out to take on private work, so it was a good thing that no one knew about this kind of thing.

It would be strange if Wang Laozhi and Zheng Wenshu found out that everyone was using the name of the Taoist temple to get jobs without stripping the skin.

Sure enough, tonight is going to be miserable.

Perhaps due to this interruption, he once again forgot to return the Zhong Kui Talisman.

……

The four of them came inside with their hearts in mind.

As expected, Wang Zaixi and a middle-aged Taoist priest with a goatee that Chen Yun had never seen were waiting at the entrance of the hall early.

"Senior Brother Wang."

"Brother Cai."

Chen Yun, Lin Chen, Zhang Qian and Li Si came forward to say hello.

After saying hello, he realized that the goatee Taoist was Cai Rujin, Uncle Zheng Wen's disciple.

Wang Zai glanced at the faces of the four of them expressionlessly, "Follow me inside. Master and uncle are waiting for you."

Cai Rujin stared at Lin Chen for a long time, then sighed, shook his head, and turned around to enter the hall.

Surely they were waiting for them, Lin Chen, Zhang Qian and Li Si's expressions became even uglier.

Chen Yun lowered his head and said nothing, wondering what punishment he would receive.

Enter the hall.

Chen Yun saw Wang Laozhi and Zheng Wenshu sitting on the chairs next to the incense table.

There was no emotion or anger on their faces.

As soon as Wang Zaixi and Cai Rujin came in, they stood on the left side behind their respective masters' chairs.

"I've met Senior Brother Zheng and Senior Brother Wang."

"I've met Senior Brother Zheng and Senior Brother Wang."

Chen Yun, Lin Chen and others greeted them in unison.

Wang Laozhi changed his usual amiable attitude, sneered and said, "You guys are so brave!"

Yes, he and Uncle Zheng Wen had known for a long time that Chen Yun, Lin Chen and others had gone down the mountain to exorcise ghosts, so they were guarding here.

In fact, Wang Laozhi and Zheng Wenshu usually turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.

After all, everyone will be dismissed after five years of working in the Taoist temple, so it doesn’t matter if they rely on their own skills to make some money in their spare time.But recently, Wang Laozhi saw that Chen Yun was quite talented and wanted to make him his disciple, so he has been paying close attention to him.

So today, when everyone went down the mountain and were in danger in the Wu Family Courtyard, Wang Laozhi, who was secretly paying attention to them all, had a panoramic view.

If it weren't for Chen Yun's cleverness, all four of them would have been wiped out today.

Of course, it would be strange if Wang Laozhi didn't cause trouble for everyone.

Pfft!
Lin Chen knelt down without hesitation and responded loudly: "Senior Brother Wang, the fault this time is mine. It has nothing to do with Senior Brother Zhang, Junior Brother Li and Junior Brother Chen. It was because I was jealous of money and was afraid that I would not be able to exorcise ghosts, so I pulled him in." If you want to punish them, just punish me."

Zhang Qian and Li Si were quite surprised.

Chen Yun also didn't expect that Lin Chen was so loyal. Everyone made money together, but only one person took the blame.

Although he didn't want to be punished, how could he not express anything when others were affectionate and righteous?

Chen Yun said almost without thinking: "Senior Brother Wang, I..."

"Shut up!" Wang Laozhi narrowed his eyes and interrupted Chen Yun's speech. He pointed to the left direction, "You guys stand aside for now. I will talk to you slowly later!"

Chen Yun had no choice but to stand on the left side.

This is the case with Zhang Qian and Li Siju.

Wang Laozhi looked at Lin Chen, "Let me ask you, what's wrong with you? If you can answer it, I'll give you a small punishment today. But if you can't answer it, where did you go back and forth from? I preach to Taoism Temple The temple is too small to accommodate a giant Buddha like you!"

Lin Chen's forehead was covered with sweat as soon as he heard that he was being driven down the mountain.

He thought for a moment and said: "I shouldn't be a sluggish student and take private jobs in the name of preaching Taoism. If I don't succeed, I will lose the face of my ancestor."

Chen Yunyi frowned and answered wrongly!
As expected, Wang Laozhi shook his head with hatred, "What's the importance of face? You don't even know that human life is more important than heaven? Forget it, Zaixi, take 50 taels of silver and let him go down the mountain overnight."

Lin Chen wanted to say something else, "Senior Brother Wang, I..."

"Get out." Wang Laozhi waved his hand half-heartedly, obviously not prepared to let Lin Chen talk any more.

Lin Chen's eyes were red, but he knew that Mr. Wang had made up his mind and it was useless to say anything else.

He had no choice but to kneel on the ground and kowtow vigorously to Wang Laozhi and Zheng Wenshu, "Lin Chen has been preaching in Taoism for more than four years. I would like to thank you, Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Zheng, for taking care of me. I will go down the mountain tonight. I hope you two senior brothers will take care of themselves." "

After saying that, Lin Chen stood up and walked outside.

Wang Zai was going to get some money.

At this time, Cai Rujin suddenly said: "Master, I want to send Junior Brother Lin down the mountain."

Uncle Zheng Wen, who had never spoken, nodded, "Well, you have made good friends with him. I don't know when we can meet again after we say goodbye. Let's go see him off the mountain."

After saying that, Cai Rujin walked out.

Seeing this, Chen Yun was shocked, knowing that Wang Laozhi was angry this time.

"And you." Wang Laozhi looked at the three of them, "You can be exempted from death penalty, but you cannot escape from living crime."

Chen Yun knew that he could not touch Wang Laozhi's tiger beard at this time, so he was the first to step forward and said with his hands in his hand: "Yun, I am willing to be punished."

"Senior Brother Wang, I was wrong."

"I won't dare next time."

Zhang Qian and Li Si were dejected.

Wang Laozhi said: "Zhang Qian, Li Si, this is your first offender, so I will fine you three months' fine. If you do it again next time, you will go down the mountain like Lin Chen."

The punishment is not very severe.

Zhang Qian said quickly: "Qian accepts the punishment."

Li Si also said quickly: "Thank you, Senior Brother Wang, for your magnanimity."

Chen Yun still didn't know what kind of punishment he would receive, so he stood there and waited quietly.

Wang Laozhi stared at Chen Yun for a long time, and then slowly said: "Chen Yun, although you are also a first-time offender, you have saved people, which can be regarded as outweighing the merits and demerits. If you don't give me any punishment, I'm afraid you will do it again." If you do it again, I will punish you with half a month of confinement. Do you have any objections to this?"

Uh?
Revealed so lightly?
Chen Yun was really afraid that Wang Laozhi would drive him down the mountain just now.

Now that I'm hearing about a painless punishment, what's your opinion?
He quickly said: "Senior Brother Wang, I know I was wrong and I have no objection."

"Okay, we've been busy all night, let's go back and have a rest."

After Wang Laozhi finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.

Wang Zaixi followed closely behind.

At this time, Uncle Zheng Wen also stood up and came to Chen Yun.

Chen Yungang wanted to give way.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Zheng Wen winked at him, smiled meaningfully and said, "Is the Calming Talisman still useful?"

what?
What does this sentence mean?
As the senior brother of Wang Laozhi, Uncle Zheng Wen's cultivation level is also unfathomable.

It's not surprising to know that he used the Calming Talisman in the other courtyard.

Chen Yun found it strange that Uncle Zheng Wen's words seemed to mean that he had given him the meditation charm in anticipation of a scene like today.

Although he couldn't understand it, he still thanked him and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zheng. Without the Meditation Talisman, I would be in danger."

"Hahaha."

Uncle Zheng Wen laughed and left.

When everyone was gone, Chen Yun turned his head and looked to the side, "Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Li, let's go and see Senior Brother Lin down the mountain."

He was still thinking about returning the Zhong Kui Talisman.

"it is good."

"Send him off."

Zhang Qian and Li Si naturally had no objections. Everyone made money, but in the end, Lin Chen was punished heavily and had to be punished both emotionally and rationally.

The three people walked towards the outside of the hall.

As soon as he stepped out of the hall, Chen Yun saw an auspicious cloud carrying Cai Rujin and Lin Chen away.

Chen Yun: "..."

Yes, it seems that the Zhong Kui Talisman is no longer available.

Although the Zhong Kui Talisman was very precious, Chen Yun really didn't want to keep it for himself.

It's just that now that Lin Chen has left, it's hard to say whether Chen Yun will meet him again in this life. It seems that Zhong Kui Fu can only stay.

Although they didn't get along for long, he couldn't help but feel a little sad about Lin Chen's departure.

Chen Yun was quite emotional and embarrassed.

Today I lost a meditation charm.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the Jia Ma Talisman and Zhong Kui Talisman were left behind.

He didn't know whether to be happy or sad, after all, Lin Chen was driven away.
