Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 45 No longer alone
Before getting up and entering the bedroom, Xu Yuanchang suddenly remembered something and asked: "How many nights did that yellow-skinned guy sing on the top of the archway?" He emphasized with a serious face: "To be honest, I'm ready to prepare the corresponding magic weapon."

Zeng Bao and Zeng Lai were busy counting on their fingers, fearing that they were wrong.

"There were six nights, one meal appointment each time."

Xu Yuanchang nodded, knowing what he was thinking, walked into the bedroom, and came out shortly after carrying a bamboo box. He walked out of the courtyard with the two of them, locked the courtyard door, and said: "You guys go to the fork in the road and wait for me, I will go get a magic weapon. If we can get to Xianqiao Village before this evening, we have enough time."

At his current speed, it would take less than half an hour.

After sending the two of them to the front, Xu Yuanchang quickly climbed over the western mountains and descended to the halfway point of the hillside. He stood in front of the red willow tree where the young man had knelt down and said, "Fellow Taoist Xianfeng, follow me and have a look at the excitement. I'll No objection, but there is one thing, you must not act randomly."

"I understand, I understand. I'm bored here and there. I want to go out with you and see the world without asking for trouble."

Liu Xianfeng appeared on the branches and leaves with a wide smile.

She used to go out secretly, worried that she would encounter a master, and there was no one to help her. She was bored and asked curiously: "You seem to know what that yellow-skinned guy is doing, singing every night?"

A delicate flying knife appeared in Xu Yuanchang's hand. He selected three branches and cut them off, removed the leaves from the branches, and put them in a bamboo box. He said: "That yellow-skinned man has some moral integrity. He doesn't look like a cruel and murderous person. He may also be afraid of it." God is punishing me, so I don’t dare to use magic power to deal with mortals, and there is still room for communication and communication. I just have nothing to do, so I went to see it."

Every time before taking action, he would ask clearly in advance whether he would hurt anyone if he saw blood.

This is very important. He will not be merciful when dealing with irrational, ferocious and sneaky people. He has other ways to deal with them.

People are doing it, and God is watching it. It is the same for people and monsters and ghosts.

There is also some important information that he has not revealed yet. Huang Pizi has some opinions on singing.

Three months of studying in the Taoist Palace, especially the last month, allowed him to learn many strange things from different students.

Cultivation of immortality and seeking the Tao is a process of constant exploration. Only by seeing many things can one gain broad knowledge, and broad knowledge can easily lead to touching and understanding.

Sitting quietly in the mountains and fields, confined to one place and being at ease, will become obstacles to your practice over time, or you may wander off the path without knowing it, so you need the support of good teachers, friends and colleagues on your path of practice.

Carrying the bamboo box down the mountain, he declined the courtesy of a carriage ride in the town. The mountain road was difficult and required a detour of at least twenty miles.

The two hunters chose a shortcut on the mountain road and trotted very fast. Whenever they saw Taoist Xu was not ten steps away, they let go of their speed and ran as hard as they could.

The sun was hanging on the top of the mountain in the west, and it was still early before dark. The three of them rushed to Xianqiao Village in the mountains.

Xu Yuan walked around the ancient stone archway gate tower standing alone and observed it carefully twice.

The three ancient inscriptions "Xianqiao Village" on the plaque of the archway have been eroded by wind and rain, making them blurry.

Instructing the two of them not to follow him, he walked alone to a puddle on the roadside a few feet away, opened the bamboo box, took out a red willow branch, and inserted it into the weeds and mud, covered by a bush.

Flick the branch three times with your finger.

Walking back to the gravel road, I walked into the village with an enigmatic look.

On the red willow branches beside the bushes on the roadside, a few new shoots appeared on the bare branches.

More than ten feet away, there are several willow trees and a clump of dark green leaves swaying in the wind.

A small and slender figure appeared in the lush branches, parted the curtain-like willow leaves, looked out and looked around, and whispered to himself: "This place is nice, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and it is high up to store Qi... That stone archway seems to have some eccentric?"

There are more than a hundred households in Xianqiao Village, which are distributed in the middle of the hillside and wind for several miles. It is a large village.

Crossing the beam above, you can see the mountains to the north.

Smoke rose from cooking stoves, dogs barked feebly, and the whole village felt a sense of invisible depression and dullness.

Xu Yuanchang observed all the way along the road. Occasionally, a man would open the door and come out of the yard on the roadside. He would say hello with a naive smile. He did not see children playing wildly on the road. They were all kept in their own yards. I didn’t hear the crow of chickens, and I didn’t see any free-range chickens foraging for food on the roadside.

Huang Pizi is making quite a fuss.

The young man Zeng Lai resisted the hunting fork and ran to the front to report the news. Zeng Bao accompanied the invited Taoist priest to the village patriarch's house. The mountain road was rugged and winding, and he had nothing to talk about.

After walking for about two miles, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper from Zeng Lai hurriedly greeted him, stood still and exchanged a few polite words.

The butler named Zeng Gui smiled and extended his hand to invite him, leading him to another courtyard at the fork in the road below.

Xu Yuanchang looked at the lintel of the courtyard of a wealthy family.

Liu Xianfeng's voice came to her ears to announce the news: "They have invited two more monks. They are holding a banquet at the patriarch's mansion. Five well-dressed masters are accompanying them. They are entertaining them with delicious food and drinks. There are groups of maids and maids. Waiting here, you are deserted and unkind."

As long as there is a place where tamarisk takes root, the tamarisk baby can explore the area for miles around.

God is unaware of it and will not let outsiders know.

Xiao Shumei was very angry. They were also invited guests, how could they be treated so differently?

Xu Yuanchang's mouth revealed a hint of amusement, and he looked at the butler who was walking in a hurry with beads of sweat on his forehead, and said: "Since the noble leader has invited two other masters to come and perform the ritual, why do you want to trick me and make this trip?"

It is a big taboo to ask someone to do it and also invite colleagues to do it. Young people may not understand it if they are not knowledgeable, and the elderly in the village do not know the rules?
With the calmness and calmness he has cultivated, he can ignore it, but he must make it clear. How to make up for it later is up to you.

Treating him as a fool to coax him is too much.

When going out, the host must be sincere and cooperate with the arrangements. If there are constraints everywhere, how can you cast spells to drive away evil spirits?
This is the so-called "sincerity leads to spirituality".

The butler's smile froze on his face. He glanced at his guest Zeng Bao and saw Zeng Bao shaking his head in surprise, indicating that no villagers along the way had informed him.

The housekeeper secretly thought that this young Taoist priest was very capable. He was still far away from the patriarch's family, but he could know such an inside story. He hurriedly bowed and apologized and explained:

"Don't be upset, Taoist priest. The other two mages came here on their own. They heard that there are monsters in our village. They call themselves 'monster catchers.' They treated us as honored guests, and they really didn’t mean to be disrespectful to the Taoist priest. They were worried that the Taoist priest would be suspicious, so they made such an arrangement. Don’t be surprised.”

After stabilizing the Taoist priest, the steward apologized and hurriedly climbed up the hill and ran back.

After waiting for a while, two men in silk robes smelling of alcohol, holding up the hem of their robes, accompanied by the housekeeper Zeng Gui and two young masters, hurried over and bowed their hands in apology from a distance.

Among them, the elder said: "Forgive me, Taoist Master Xu, but we are rude and negligent. The two masters said that they are here to catch monsters and punish evil spirits. There is no need to be taboo that we are traveling together. It is best to meet each other in a friendly manner. I wonder if Taoist Master Xu can give me a favor and go and start the dinner again." ?”

Xu Yuanchang returned the courtesy and said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful, please!"

He also wanted to meet the "monster hunter".

When I was in the Dao Palace, I once heard Yi Yun and He Shutang mention catching monsters in the city. It seemed to be a very mysterious force. They talked about it briefly and didn't discuss it much.

When Liu Xianfeng went out with his second-level cultivation, he felt more confident and was no longer alone.

"Be careful, those two people are very evil, they don't look like good people."

Liu Xianfeng's voice reminder came to my ears.
