Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 25 You are quite a nice person

After pouring castor oil, the red willow forest was on fire, turning half the sky red. Xu Yuanzhang took a few glances, but found nothing unusual, so he and the others retreated to watch the fire from a distance.

There were more than ten young men who were ordered to guard outside the fire scene with tools to prevent the fire from burning to other places.

Seeing that the fire had burned in, Xu Yuanchang said goodbye to the Liu clan leader, the white-haired old man and others.

The Liu family chiefs and others enthusiastically tried to persuade him to stay, and they must invite Taoist Xu to stay one more night and hold a banquet to thank him tomorrow.

Xu Yuanchang politely declined. Practitioners want to be quiet and at ease, and retire after achieving success.

He didn't want to stay here any longer and wanted to return home overnight.

According to his observation of the footprints on the chair, he speculated that Mr. Liu Er was deceived by the family god at night and moved the chair as if he was sleepwalking. This was a way of warning the family god.

As the group walked back to the village, Liu Dong hurried over and handed a small bag to his master.

Mr. Liu Er took out the banknotes from the small bag and gave them to the Taoist Priest with both hands, thanking the Taoist Priest for his help in eliminating the disaster.

Xu Yuanchang did not shirk. He took out one piece and accepted it. He handed the remaining eighty taels back to Mr. Liu Er and said, "I was paid a favor by Hu Sanniang earlier. These silver coins should be regarded as my invitation to take good care of Hu Sanniang's orphaned child." As a reward, I will send him to school and provide him with food and clothing until he is eighteen years old. I will come to visit him when I have time in the future."

He is a cultivator and it is not convenient for him to take a half-year-old child with him.

Furthermore, Hu Sanniang's orphans should be taken care of by the Liu family, and it is inconvenient for others to step in and do the work for them.

The Liu family would not allow outsiders to take away the child, otherwise it would slap the entire Liu family in the face.

Hu Sanniang confessed many things, but she did not entrust her children to any of the Liu family, because she asked them in vain, and over time, it was the children who suffered, so she would rather kneel down and kowtow to an outsider, but she could not say it out loud.

Mother and son are connected, and this is the only way to care for the orphan.

The poor child fainted from crying and was carried away by his uncle and relatives.

After refusing for a while, Mr. Liu Er accepted the banknote. Witnessed by the Liu clan leader and clan elders, he promised to take good care of the child named Na'er from now on.

No matter how bold you are, you would not dare to pervert the solemn request of a Taoist priest with superb magic skills.

When everyone arrived at the entrance of the village, Xu Yuanchang refused to be escorted by a carriage and walked alone to the northwest path with a lantern.

An orange light gradually faded away and disappeared into the depths of the night.

The Liu clan chief and others sighed for a while. Fortunately, they asked Taoist Xu to help them resolve the disaster.

Xu Yuan walked for three miles and stopped in front of a forest at the edge of Hongliu Village. He carried a bamboo box on his back, a sword on his waist, a lantern in his right hand, and a magic coin in his left hand. He shouted in a deep voice: "Follow me all the way, until the end." What do you want?"

He actually just realized that there was prying eyes, and the familiar feeling came again.

I drank so much that I didn't dare to walk into the village road in the middle of the woods.

A strange woman's voice sounded loud and clear: "Fellow Daoist Xu, I want to thank you for Hu Sanniang's help in taking care of her orphan. You are quite a nice person."

Xu Yuanchang, who had received a good guy card for no apparent reason, was not that easy to fool.

I know who he is.

He looked around and said, "I am bowed down by Hu Sanniang. Spending a little money is not worth mentioning. Since you said you wanted to thank me, why are you hiding it? Or are you hiding from others?"

The strange woman's voice chuckled softly: "I'm worried that you will have bad thoughts after seeing me. Are you thinking about whether to meet me?"

Xu Yuanchang was not in the mood to joke, so he said simply: "Well then, let's go. Let's go our own way. Girl, please don't get entangled anymore."

The other party was not a ghost. A passing goose would leave a sound, and a passing ghost would leave traces. Even after dealing with him several times, he did not notice the ghost's presence.

He turned towards the field path and wanted to bypass a tamarisk forest in front of him.

The woman asked strangely: "You are so weird, you don't want to take the straight road."

Xu Yuanchang ignored it. He had already guessed that the other party's ability was related to trees, so he stayed out of the woods, especially on the other party's territory.

Is it a demon?

Carrying a light and walking away, when I walked onto the right road, I saw a solitary red willow tree on the opposite side of the road.

With the road as the boundary, that side no longer belongs to Hongliu Village. Standing on the branches and leaves is a slender little man about a foot tall, wearing a dark red willow leaf dress, exquisite and exquisite, carved with pink and jade, holding a firefly lamp in his small hand.

The two sides looked at each other from a distance of several feet.

"Hongliu baby!"

Xu Yuanchang blurted out, he finally knew what the villain in front of him was.

No wonder it comes and goes without a trace, this is a rare red willow baby, born with the charm of a tree spirit.

They are not monsters. Monsters and spirits are not the same kind. They are very different.

No wonder the words "I'm worried about having evil thoughts" before were thought to be a random joke between strangers, but it turned out to be the truth. Hongliuwa is not strong in combat, but has many unique abilities that are coveted by monks.

It was normal for him not to notice its aura.

If you put a leaf into the woods, how can you easily find it?
The slender Hongliu baby held the hem of her skirt in her left hand, bent down and performed an elegant dance, and said: "Liu Xianfeng has met fellow Taoist Xu, you can call me Xianfeng. If I have offended you in any way, I will apologize to you."

Xu Yuanchang bowed his head with one hand in return and said, "Fellow Taoist Xianfeng is so polite. I wonder if you have any advice?"

Liu Xianfeng chuckled and said: "It's not a matter of meeting the teacher. I show up to meet you because I want to be close neighbors with fellow Taoists. We can go in and out as friends, watch and help each other, and each go his own way."

What she said about each going his own way means that everyone should practice their own way and not interfere with each other.

Xu Yuanchang was very interested and asked: "How can we be close neighbors when we are more than ten miles apart? Maybe you want to move to Gushipo, but that's not possible. The Gushipo area is full of rocky mountains. Except for weeds, it is difficult for trees to take root and survive." "

This is a Hongliuwa who behaves chivalrously and appropriately.

Hongliu Village, Hongliu Tree, no one expected that a tree-charming Hongliu baby would be born in such a long time.

Liu Xianfeng stood still on the willow leaves, his figure rose and fell slowly, and said with a smile: "I would like to ask you to come forward and buy the wasteland valley outside the mountain to the west of Gushipo. The bigger the better, fold a few red willow branches, and Plug it in there and I can move there."

Xu Yuanchang asked: "You no longer live in Hongliu Village?"

Moving away from the original territory requires great courage for Shu Mei.

Being next to a strange monk is even more of a risky gamble.

The human heart is unpredictable and the human heart is sinister.

This is no joke.

Liu Xianfengruo's beautiful little face, illuminated by the soft light, showed a trace of sadness, and said: "I have been in Hongliu Village since I was born, hiding in various trees and jungles, playing in the fields, carefree, and occasionally Hiding in a tree in a private school in the village, I listened to my teacher teach Meng Tong and talked about some principles in the book.

"As time went by, I learned to speak human language, recognize words, and read some books, and I started to have troubles.

“A few days ago, I heard that Hu Sanniang’s soul was still haunted and she was crying in the pond every day.

"I really couldn't stand it, so I went to the Liu family god and argued with him using the principles I learned from the book. I had been a neighbor for many years, and when I didn't agree with what I said, he made bad words and wanted to drive me away from Hongliu Village. He turned against me and started to fight.

"You already know what happened next. I don't want to be with that old-fashioned guy every day without looking up or down. It's boring. It's like I'm living under his roof. I can have an extra place to live in the future. I don't want to be bothered by him." gas."

Xu Yuanchang understood that Hongliuwa wanted to follow the allusion of the cunning rabbit's three caves and plan a way out for himself in advance.

I have already turned against the Liu family god, but it is impossible to really destroy the Liu family's ancestral tomb and blessed place. I am also worried about the Liu family god's revenge at a critical moment in my practice.

Hongliuwa, who had read the book, thought about the problem and had a comprehensive plan.

Xu Yuanchang tentatively invited: "You can take root in Shipan Village without going to a wasteland to live elsewhere."

Liu Xianfeng flatly refused: "That's not appropriate. You are enough in Shipan Village. I don't want to repeat the same mistakes and ruin the relationship. I live in a wasteland that does not belong to Shipan Village. I am my neighbor and have made a mountain alliance with you. Only then can I practice with peace of mind." Undisturbed.”

The mountain alliance she talked about was not the marriage contract that evolved in later generations.

Rather, it refers to the mountain as an alliance, the heaven and the earth as a mirror, a kind of oath passed down from old to old.

Loose but binding.
