Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 453 No need to pretend, be arrogant to the end

Nie Xiaomeng felt a little disappointed in her heart. Huafan could not wait for anyone. She had to set off soon and could not wait for thirty years. Otherwise, the opportunity she had just caught would disappear, and she would lose the big picture for the small one. She didn't know when the next chance would come.

Xu Yuanchang then asked, "Has Wen Yining come out of confinement?"

Liu Xianfeng, who was petting the black cat from head to toe, replied, "Hall Master Wen successfully broke through the realm and advanced five years ago. She has long since come out of retreat. Elder Zeng and Yu She made two seventh-level treasures for her."

As an obedient and understanding person, she understood what the young master meant by his roundabout words.

Bai Yi had offended an eighth-level demon in the western continent of Dongyou Domain. It was okay for him to keep a low profile when traveling, but he was not suitable to go to Jiuzhu Islands to secretly protect Nie Xiaomeng. The newly promoted Wen Yining was undoubtedly the right candidate.

"Sir, where did you find this black cat? Lend it to me and take it home to play with for a few days."

Liu Xianfeng didn't care about the black cat's reluctance and slightly disgusted look, and asked for it directly. This little thing was so rare and fun.

She predicted the little guy's intention to escape and accurately pinched the fur on the back of the cat's neck.

The black cat helplessly dropped its limbs and accepted its fate.

It doesn't like being held and stroked by the tree spirit. It doesn't like it at all, okay?

Xueli smiled and deliberately corrected her, "Sister Liu, your eyesight is not good. This is clearly a mountain spirit black tiger, not a cat..."

Liu Xianfeng kicked at him, but the fat boy who had accurately predicted her move twisted his butt to dodge and scolded her coquettishly, "What do you care, Xueli, you are just asking for trouble again, you are so rebellious."

Liu Xueli called out "Lady, lady" and hid behind Nie Xiaomeng who was watching the fun.

Xu Yuanchang smiled and said, "I found it on the road. If you like, just take it and play with it."

Ignore the black cat's hopeless look.

Liu Xianfeng cheered, but just as she let go of the skin on the back of the black cat's neck, a black shadow flashed and the cat in her hand disappeared without a trace.

Xu Yuanchang spread out his hands and shook his sleeves to indicate that the black cat had not returned. He pretended to call "Lazy Tiger" a few times, but the black cat did not show up. He said helplessly: "It has gone into hiding. Forget it. A forced melon is not sweet. When I return to the mountain, I will leave it at Dengxian Temple."

Liu Xianfeng's face was full of pity. He rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, you didn't use your brain to come up with such a lame name. Calling it 'Lazy Tiger'...why not call it 'Black Butterfly', 'Black Pearl', or 'Black Peony'?"

However, no matter how eloquently she used provocations, the hiding black cat refused to show up.

The mountain spirits that grew up naturally and absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon are extremely intelligent.

After struggling for a while, Liu Xianfeng felt bored and had to give up.

The young master also raised a fire spirit with snow-white fur. Fire and wood are incompatible, so she didn't dare to play with the cute fire spirit and felt scared when she even touched it lightly.

After walking together for an hour and talking about everything, Liu Xianfeng and the other two flew southwards accompanied and escorted by Gu Yunzhu.

Xu Yuanchang stepped on the snow, making a "crunching" sound under his feet. He reached out his hand and touched back. The elusive black cat just put its head close to him. Its fur was shiny and smooth and felt great to the touch.

"You, you have to endure hardships, sleep in the open air, and travel a long distance with me. Why don't you go back with Xianfeng and the others?"

"It is so pleasant to be a tiger sitting on a mountain, without the worries of wind and rain, and without the pain of running around."

The black cat followed nonchalantly, listening to his owner's chattering.

It rolled its eyes toward the sky and yawned lazily.

……

There are 1,800 temples in Zhoushan area.

Gudui Mountain and Baozhou Temple are relatively unknown compared to Zhengxiang Temple, which is guarded by a ninth-rank monk.

Ren Wulin supported the old man in a black robe and walking on a crutch as they walked up the worn granite steps. He said to the young monk who came forward, "Please take us to see Master Sanzhou. We will offer a thousand taels of incense money to the Buddha later."

The young monk clasped his hands together in front of his chest, said "Please be merciful, benefactor", and led the two guests to a dark meditation room in the back hall.

Ren Wulin stopped the young monk who was about to leave and handed him a stack of secular silver bills.

The young monk took the banknote with both hands, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes. He clasped his hands together, bowed, and hurried out.

The old man with a crutch walked to the side of a tall monk who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room with his back to the light, and sat down on the ground. He did not disturb the old monk's meditation and let Wu Lin stand at the door, motionless.

Half an hour later, "ding", the sound of a bell was heard from the front hall.

The meditating old monk slowly opened his eyes and said in an old and deep voice: "Donor Wu, you are here."

The old man bowed slightly and said, "It snowed heavily last night. I went to the mountain temple and saw a Taoist priest passing by. I asked him a question about 'what is the way of heaven', but the Taoist priest's answer was just general and useless to me. I hope Master Sanzhou can give me some advice. I am afraid that my broken body cannot hold on any longer."

He repeated the Taoist's answer word for word.

The eyes shrouded in thick shadows are chilling.

Master Sanzhou glanced at the black-robed old man who seemed to be resentful, and laughed: "You can still hold on for a hundred years, you won't die for a while, it's painful to endure, if you don't endure, you will die, just endure it slowly."

The old man in black robe said angrily: "How dare you make fun of me..."

He swallowed the word "Laozi" into his stomach, which triggered a violent coughing fit, and he almost fell to the ground.

Ren Wulin hurried forward and patted the old man on the back to help him calm down, complaining: "Uncle Yuan Zhu, if you have something to say, please say it nicely. You have to make my master angry."

Master Sanzhou laughed and scolded, "Get lost, your master is narrow-minded, don't blame me."

He didn't say this with the dignity of a senior monk at all, and he even called himself "old man".

This person was none other than the three-legged turtle that had floated like an island in the Wuyi Lake in the lower world. His pseudonym was "Yuan Zhu". He had a raised forehead, mountain-like brows, deep-set eyes, and a hideous and ferocious look when he smiled.

The three porridges are the three-legged turtle.

The old man in black robe coughed for a long time, slowly recovered from his breath, and said:
"If you don't show me a clear way forward, I'll just die in Baozhou Temple. Yuan Zhu, just give me a definite answer. I don't have many years left to live anyway, so I'll rely on you."

"Look at the face of this robber. I gave him some advice out of kindness, but now it's my fault."

Master Sanzhou shook his head helplessly and said, "I can't be a good person. I'm afraid of you. Let me ask you, do you know the Taoist's name and where he came from?"

The old man in black robe looked up at his apprentice, and seeing Ren Wulin was at a loss, he replied, "I don't know."

After Master Sanzhou converted to Buddhism, his temperament was completely different from before. There was a bit more compassion on his old face. He said, "He is the disciple of Taoist Master Yanshan."

"Hasn't Yanshan already ascended to the immortal realm..."

The old man in black robe suddenly understood something and asked, "Have you met Yanshan?"

Master Sanzhou nodded slightly and said, "Not long after I returned to Zhoushan from the lower world, I met Taoist Master Yanshan. We discussed the 'Great Way' and exchanged metaphysical and magical powers. We spent two decades together and then parted ways. So you might as well go with that Taoist priest."

The old man in black robe was filled with envy and said, "You are lucky to have the guidance of the Golden Immortal. No wonder the mysterious man was able to accurately calculate the mountain temple where the Taoist rested last night."

Master Sanzhou said in dissatisfaction: "Bullshit, after I found my 'self', my heart of Buddha is as profound as heaven and earth, not much worse than a golden immortal."

The old man in black robe laughed, picked up his wooden crutches and stood up. With the help of his apprentice, he walked outside and said, "Let's try it out. I don't have any other solution. By the way, what's the name of the Taoist priest?"

The latter sentence is asked to the apprentice.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not sit still and wait for death. No wonder that kid has not yet "entered the Tao", the path he is taking makes him feel superior.

A good teacher produces good students, so it’s worth it for him to give it a try.

"Call Xu Yuanchang."

……

That evening, Xu Yuanchang took his black cat to a tavern in a small town and ordered some appetizers. When he was about to enjoy the wild flavors in the noisy shop, an old man in a black robe walked up to the table with a wooden crutch.

Ren Wulin did not accompany them.

"Xu Xiaoyou, I want to follow you around and learn your 'Taoism of Nature'. I wonder if you are willing to take me in?"

"Senior Wu, I am so embarrassed. My little skills are not worthy of your word 'learning'. I would be more than happy to have the opportunity to meet with you and ask for your advice."

Xu Yuanchang hurriedly stood up and saluted, but he didn't expect the old man to come back and find him again.

He also wanted to travel with him. Since he couldn't refuse, he readily agreed. If it was a blessing, there would be no disaster. If it was a disaster, there was no way to avoid it. He was too lazy to think too much.

The poor black cat was lying quietly on the chair next to it, but the moment it saw the old man in black robe, it bent its waist and its hair stood up.

After posing for a while and hearing that its owner wanted to take the old man in, it lay down again lazily, feeling a little bored, and watched the old man opposite from under the table with one eye open and one eye closed.

The old man in black robe stretched out his hand and wiped the air opposite him, releasing a ray of crystal-clear rule power, and said: "I will pay you a ray of reward first. Little friend Xu, don't worry about my existence. Do what you need to do and act as you please. I will just be a bystander."

He walked in and talked to Xu Yuanchang. The shop owner, the clerks, and the customers in the shop did not notice anything unusual.

Xu Yuanchang wanted to refuse, but he looked into the old man's eyes, which were shrouded in the heavy darkness, and said with a fist: "It is better to obey than to be respectful. Xu has the audacity to accept this gift."

He took out a jade bottle, put the power of the fire element given by the old man in black robe into it, and stored it in the space treasure house.

He extended his hand to invite the old man to sit down, and placed bowls and chopsticks opposite him. Seeing that the old man had no intention of eating, he simply let go and started eating and drinking. He even took the time to pick up a piece of meat and threw it to the black cat.

From then on, there was an old man with a crutch who always accompanied the traveling group.

The two of them occasionally exchanged a few words, but most of the time, the two of them and the cat continued on their journey in silence.

A month later, Xu Yuan took the teleportation array from the Juyao City in Qimuzhou to the Longyuan Valley to continue his journey of "returning to the world". He walked in an orderly manner according to the route he had planned long ago.

Appreciate the majestic mountains, watch the March sky, and experience different customs and cultures.

Passing through the territories of Liuguang Ridge and Jietian Peak, Jia Shusheng ascended to heaven. He did not bother Lin Sanren.

It took me eight years to travel all over the mountains and rivers.

During this time, he used the Creation Altar to refine the power of the fire element, took it into his body, and slowly absorbed and comprehended it.

They were then teleported to Linxianzhou in the Great Wilderness Mountain Area. The name of the Realm of Chaos was well deserved. On the first day they came out of the city, they were surrounded and robbed by a group of monks.

"You Taoist priest, be sensible and leave the spirit cat behind, and two valuable treasures on your body, and then you can leave now."

"Yes, we are robbing money but not lives. Don't waste time dawdling. Hurry up."

"God is merciful. Don't take our kindness for granted. Hurry up and exchange your treasure for your life!"

The three leading monks from the sixth floor shouted sternly and brandished their swords to intimidate.

Xu Yuanchang laughed: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I will be a robber for once and experience the fun of robbery." He stretched out his right hand and shouted: "All of you, leave your treasures behind and I will spare your lives!"

"Go, kill them!"

"Fuck it!"

Seven or eight robbery cultivators became furious and used their magic spells and magic weapons to fly, turning the sky into the same color of dusk.

Xu Yuanchang turned invisible, and in the next moment countless figures appeared ten miles away, performing close combat boxing techniques, punching and kicking a group of blind robbers, beating them up, hitting them in the flesh, and he even specially hit them in the face.

"Crackling", seven or eight robbery cultivators were knocked to the ground, their robes torn, their faces bruised and swollen, unable to get up, and begging for mercy.

"Senior, please spare my life. I surrender."

"Senior, please stop fighting. Let's exchange the treasure for our lives."

"Please spare me. I won't do it again."

Several cultivators who were peeping from a distance saw that Jie Xiu was beaten badly, and they were so scared that they quickly flew back to the city.

The old man in black robe would naturally not let himself be hit by the magic spells and magic weapons of several robbery cultivators, so he just watched the show leisurely.

The black cat moved forward and backward together with its master. It transformed into a black tiger about ten feet long and bit down a robbery cultivator. If its master hadn't stopped it, it would have almost killed the annoying guy who shouted "Leave the civet cat behind!"

Although it was ordered to pretend to be a cat, it hated the blind guy who called it a cat the most.

Your whole family is cats!

After obtaining a bunch of useless treasures, Xu Yuanchang kicked the few robbers away and continued on his way.

"You're just going to let them go like this?"

"What else? Killing them is unnecessary."

"You don't seem to like killing?"

"There's no point in meaningless killing. I don't like blood. The whole atmosphere in the Great Wilderness Mountain Region is like this. Robbery is endless. I prefer thieves eating thieves."

Xu Yuanchang answered the old man's questions. He had discussed violent topics such as "killing sin" and "stopping killing with killing" with his master. His master replied, "Do what your heart tells you." He had guessed that the old man had recognized his hidden identity.

Just follow the love.

He was also happy to have an extra free expert bodyguard.

Traveling in the Great Wilderness Mountain Area, he fully experienced the joy of robbery cultivation. He encountered robbery and killing wherever he went.

They were also fortunate enough to be robbed by four seventh-level cultivators and demon cultivators. They came to help their companions. Xu Yuanchang released the fire spirit that had been practicing in the Creation Divine Platform. The battle was so fierce that the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dim. The raging sea of ​​fire swept across a hundred miles. Three of them were driven away, and a female demon cultivator who failed to escape was captured alive.

"You are a beautiful lady, why would you want to be a thief?"

Taoist Xu shook his head in contempt for the demon girl who was beaten beyond recognition. He stripped her naked without any hesitation. No, he even left her with a set of tattered battle clothes to cover her shame. Then he kicked her on her fleshy butt and sent her away.

"You are welcome to gather more experts to come for revenge. I am waiting for you. Hurry up!"

Taoist Xu doesn't need to pretend to be arrogant.

He has already put himself in the shoes of a cultivator and is determined to carry the experience through to the end. He is truly arrogant.

This harvest made him extremely satisfied.
