Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 58 Linjiang Crossing

"Mr. Lu, I finally see you."

The old village chief took two steps forward. He was nearly sixty years old, but his body was strong. After walking on the mountain road for a day, his face was still glowing. He came forward with a smile:

"Sir, you go up the mountain really fast."

Lu Chenran turned around and looked at Village Chief Huang walking up the mountain with some surprise.

His inner eye told him that the person in front of him was not a ghost. This made him a little puzzled. Didn't the ancestral teachings of Peach Blossom Village prohibit going up the mountain? Moreover, what happened to the peach that suddenly flew into my hand?

Seemingly sensing Lu Chenran's doubts, the village chief said with respect in his eyes:

"Mr. Lu, this fairy peach was entrusted by the Peach God to the little old man and handed it over to Mr. Lu."

"Peach God?"

The old village chief considered his words, rummaged through his bellyful of ink, and tried his best to speak as politely as possible:
  "Sir, on the morning you went up the mountain, the Peach God pulled out new buds the night before in the cold fog, frost and dew. The entire peach forest at the foot of the mountain was full of peach blossoms. These peaches were the Peach God's thank you gift to Mr. .”

Lu Chenran was stunned at first, and then he thought of the ancient peach tree that he had seen when he went up the mountain, which was struck by lightning, and couldn't help but smile.

It turned out to be it.

He didn't expect that his unintentional act would actually bring the peach tree to life.

"The little old man thought that he must deliver this peach to Mr. as soon as possible."

Lu Chenran held the fairy peach in his arms, with a lingering light fragrance lingering around him, and smiled gently:
  "In this case, Lu will accept Peach God's kindness."

Seeing Mr. Lu accept the peach, the old village chief breathed a sigh of relief:

"Mr. Lu, it's getting late. Let's go down the mountain and have dinner. My mother-in-law has already made chicken soup and stewed pork stew for Mr. Lu."

"But it's disrespectful."

Lu Chenran touched his stomach. He had eaten some unpleasant boiled beef this morning. He hadn't eaten all day, and he really felt hungry.

"Old man, do you have anything to drink?"

At this moment, the green gourd on Lu Chenran's waist suddenly made a sound, startling the village chief who was walking down the mountain. He looked around, and then placed his eyes on Mr. Lu's waist with a look of shock. between.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously to make sure his eyes were not blurred.

A talking gourd? And two eyes?
  Lu Chenran frowned slightly, raised his hand and hammered the green gourd twice.

bang bang-

Then he looked at the old village chief and said apologetically:
  "This naughty gourd is used to being savage and doesn't understand human etiquette. I ask the village chief not to take it to heart."

The village chief wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a smile:
  "Mr. Lu, it's okay."

"Gourd. If you want to drink some wine, I still have some old wine at home, so I'll take care of it."

Out of the corner of his eye, he still glanced at the green gourd with two big eyes. His expression was agile and intelligent, and every change in his eyes was worthy of his consideration. He secretly sighed in his heart, is this the magic weapon of the immortal? How lucky is this life to be able to see him once?

No wonder the elders in the family often say that those who live longer have seen more, and what they see now can be written into legends and passed down to future generations.
  "Village Chief, Village Chief, the water in that mountain stream is drinkable!!"

"I don't know what happened an hour ago, but suddenly the water disappeared. After a while, new spring water flowed from the mountain."

"The water is rushing and it won't freeze."

"."

As soon as a few people came down the mountain and came to the peach forest, several young men came around and started talking.

The aquatic earth babies looked at each other, with a bit of contentment on their faces.

They had seen Mr. Lu perform his magic with their own eyes.

Then he walked forward with great vigor and said loudly:

"What's all the fuss about! Mr. Lu came here to go up the mountain just to help our village solve this problem!"

"Hmph, I saw Mr. Lu cast a spell with my own eyes."    "."

Seeing Tuwa say this, all the villagers suddenly looked at each other.

It is indeed Mr. Lu!

Then he looked at Mr. Foxqiu standing next to the village chief with a look full of respect:
  "Thank you Mr. Lu!"

"Mr. Lu is really a master."

"When I get home, I will set up a plaque in honor of my husband."

This Mr. Lu came to Peach Blossom Village and first resuscitated the Peach God, and then revitalized the water source of the mountain stream that had been undrinkable for hundreds of years. This thing is simply unheard of. Apart from the magical means, what else can be explained?

God must have sent him down to save Peach Blossom Village.

Some young people rushed to the earth babies, said all kinds of good things, and begged the water-born earth babies to tell them what they had just seen. How had the water-born earth babies ever experienced this feeling of being held in high esteem by all the stars? He was a little arrogant, with a very arrogant look on his face:

"Cough cough."

"This begins when Mr. Lu descends from heaven to earth."

All the villagers sat in a circle, listening, exclaiming and sighing. They were envious of Shui Sheng and Tu Wa, and secretly regretted why they were not the ones following the village chief to deliver peaches.

No matter how thick-skinned Lu Chenran was, he felt a little embarrassed and helpless as he listened to the two young men praising him from the sidelines and adding words of jealousy from time to time.

After bowing to the village chief, he hurriedly left and walked toward the ancient peach tree.

This peach tree is completely different from what we saw when we came here. In the thick fog at night, the old peach tree looks like a shadow, with many new buds sprouting from the originally scorched branches.

With his mind's eye, he could see that the old peach tree was covered with little green auras.

He could vaguely feel that the old peach tree was breathing out these green spiritual energy points. Although the movement was subtle, it was invisible to his mind.

Lu Chenran was surprised, and there was a look of thought between his brows.

The peach tree is a natural spiritual tree. This peach tree may have its own set of breathing methods.

‘I’m afraid this peach tree is not enlightened. ’

At this moment, the peach tree suddenly stretched out a branch towards Lu Chenran, and then an old voice came to his mind:

"I thank the Immortal Chief for pointing out the way. The Immortal Chief is really an expert."

Lu Chenran blinked. He didn't expect that the peach tree was actually born with spiritual wisdom. It seemed that the Taoist nature was not low, and then he cupped his hand:

"With a little effort, Mr. Lu is just a tourist who went to Beijing to learn about Taoism. He cannot be the immortal leader the old gentleman calls him."

"I don't know where Mr. Lu's fairyland is?"

"Fox Mountain in Shitou County, Jiamu County."

"I haven't heard of this fairy mountain. It must be a fairyland. Mr. Lu wants to go to Beijing to learn about it. I wonder when next year?"

"It's not next year, it's the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month this year."

Old Peach Tree was silent for a while and then said:

"Mr. Lu, you don't have much time. How do you plan to get to Beijing?"

"Of course I will walk along the official road, but it is more than 50,000 miles away from here. If Lu goes along the official road on foot, I am afraid it will take half a year. I wonder if the old gentleman knows a shortcut?"

After thinking for a while, Old Peach Tree slowly said:

"Mr. Lu, have you ever heard of Linjiang Crossing?"
