Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 71 The thank you gift is unusual
Xu Yuanchang was drinking tea in the main room. He was waiting to meet and chat with Granny Ai. Of course he didn't want to miss the opportunity to meet a real person who had experienced the underworld.

Half an hour later, Granny Ai walked out of the bedroom after having some meat porridge to regain some energy. She was about fifty years old, with a strong body, and had recently changed into travel clothes. Except for her face, which was sickly pale and slightly haggard, everything was as usual.

After thanking her for the gift and sitting down, Granny Ai told her son and daughter-in-law to go back to the west room to rest.

She and Daochang Xu had something to talk about.

Grandma Ai, who has been helping people to solve their problems all year round, has a little more different insights than ordinary villagers and is good at talking. She thanked her again and again for saving her life, put a green cloth bag on the table in front of Xu Daozhang, and said, Reward is omitted.

Xu Yuanchang looked at the shape of the cloth bag and pressed it with his hands. It was a hard object like a book. He opened the cloth bag in front of him with some curiosity.

In addition to a broken piece of silver and thirty-three copper coins, there was also a slightly incomplete ancient book.

There are five ancient Chinese characters "jade" written on the cover.

"It's actually the "Dong Shen Fu Hua Sutra"?"

Xu Yuanchang did not expect such an unexpected gain. Among the classics he had read, this book was occasionally mentioned. It was a Shinto secret book that could "dispel disasters, pray for blessings, and repel ghosts and gods."

Open the title page and write "Jade" on the title page: "Those who write in the Cave God Book are inseparable from each other, stick to their roots, integrate with Yin and Yang, and belong to the same family as God. Those who do flashy things are far away from the original, and they cannot be used frequently if they are confused. It can be remembered, hence the name flashy."

The evolution of writing in the spiritual world is divided into five stages, namely "insect scripts, cloud seal scripts, gold inscriptions and jade characters", and the current Tongwen.

Tongwen has been popular for eight hundred years and has many similarities with jade characters.

Xu Yuanchang has read a lot of books, and can recognize most of the jade characters. Compared with the older "jinwen" and "yunzhuan" with jade characters, he can recognize a few simple ones. As for the extremely rare insect books, he can recognize them in this world. Not many people recognize it.

After flipping through a few pages, Xu Yuanchang was able to tell that this was an authentic Shinto scripture, which contained uncommon methods such as inviting gods, imprisoning ghosts, suppressing evil spirits, and using evil spirits.

"Grandma Ai, are you not going to be a goddess? Are you ready to wash your hands in the golden basin?"

Xu Yuanchang looked at the old woman opposite.

The other party has a heritage and knows the ways of the underworld under the soul. He will definitely not be taught it suddenly in a dream as Gu Xinghe said.

That was just an excuse to deal with the countryside, a small way to add mystery.

A look of helplessness appeared on Granny Ai's face, and she lowered her voice and said: "Taoist Master Xu, you are a wise and capable man. You will not tell lies in front of real people. It's okay to talk to you. Old lady, I have been carrying on this sect for hundreds of years. In one or two generations, it is passed down from female to male.

"When I was young, I didn't become a goddess because of my descendants. Now I stop being a goddess because of the sake of future generations. These are all old rules passed down from my ancestors."

Xu Yuan nodded with understanding.

The real Guoyin Goddess must worship the Yin God, deal with ghosts, and be contaminated with Yin energy.

Over time, it will affect the health and luck of the husband and children.

It was for this reason that he asked Gu Xinghe if he had any heirs.

Grandma Ai stopped her hand at this time and dispersed the negative energy in the house. The bodies of her son and daughter-in-law slowly returned to normal, and having children was a matter of course.

There are twists and turns here, and those who are not knowledgeable will not know the secrets.

"This inheritance will not be lost, and it cannot be lost. The ancient book sent to you was left by the ancestors. The methods in it can no longer be practiced. The reason is that you can't understand it. The ancestors warned that even if mortals can understand it, they should follow the ancient books If you practice it, you will get into trouble.

"This old woman violated the rules of our ancestors and cast a spell to send her soul to the underworld. She almost lost her life. So she simply gave the ancient book to someone who was destined to repay your kindness in rescuing me. She also didn't want future generations to make the same mistakes as some of her predecessors, so she couldn't help but think of a way. Forcibly practicing the techniques recorded in ancient books and losing your life will bring retribution."

Granny Ai told everything.

Xu Yuanchang was relieved and said: "If you have other requests, please tell me?"

A smile appeared on Granny Ai's face and she said, "I want to ask you for an amulet for my daughter-in-law, not now, but almost a year from now."

Xu Yuanchang nodded in agreement. He understood what Grandma Ai meant. His daughter-in-law should be pregnant in a year, so he told her son to come to him whenever necessary within three years. He drew an amulet.

He put the books, broken silver, and copper coins into the pocket in his sleeve. His studies were miscellaneous, but he took Taoism as his foundation.

He didn't give a banknote, otherwise repaying a favor would become a transaction, which was against the rules.

After chatting for a while, we didn't wait long, picked up the bamboo box and left. Grandma Ai called her son and sent her out of the hospital together. The night was dark and Xu Daochang disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"A monk is a man among gods and immortals."

Grandma Ai was very envious and sighed in her heart. It is said that the ancestor who passed down the skill of the Goddess Guoyin was a monk at that time, but he studied Shinto, which is different from the immortal monks today.

……

After staying in Bailin Valley for another three days, Xu Yuanchang came to the county town and first went to the Hei Ji Inn in Fulu Lane to meet the shopkeeper Hei.

Shopkeeper Hei heard that He Shutang and Yan Yuhan were out on missions again and would not be able to come back in a short time.

Xu Yuanchang felt a little regretful in his heart. He also wanted to invite He and Yan to go with him to Jietian City, 800 miles away, where the annual black market was about to open.

During these four months, he brought Liu Xianfeng to the county town twice to sell the painted talismans, drink and chat with He Shutang, Yan Yuhan, Shi Wangchen and others, and also asked He Shutang, who knew the Taoism, for advice on painting. The secret of communication charms.

No matter how much he learned, he still couldn't draw a communication talisman.

Even the wooden shadow spike talisman can draw a double thorn talisman.

He went back to his residence and took a walk, leaving Liu Xianfeng to play in the backyard.

After just a few trips to the county town, each stay lasted only three days. Xiao Shumei somehow got together with the black cat who often climbed over the courtyard wall to do evil things. Walking around on the walls and roofs of Luxiang.

Carrying a bamboo box on his back, he came to Xianyu Garden in the east of the city. When he walked into the hall, he saw his guide Shi Wangchen dressed as "Old Mo" again, talking loudly with a table of casual cultivators.

There were a lot of people inside, and most of them were discussing going to Jietian City to participate in the black market.

Xu Yuanchang greeted his acquaintances, responded to various greetings, and sat down at an empty seat at Shi Wangchen's table.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, have you found the companions who are going to Jie Tiancheng? Brothers Lao Qi and Shu are walking together. We have each other looking after us on the way. How about you add one?"

Shi Wangchen smiled and pretended to send out the invitation.

As a casual cultivator, "Mo Li", he has a wide circle of friends, which is a method of his practice.

Xu Yuanchang rolled his eyes in his heart. Of course he had to go with the guide. He would be safe and worry-free. He smiled and said, "Count me in. When will we meet up and set off?"

"It'll be the day after tomorrow. We'll travel in two days."

Shi Wangchen was the leader of the group, and he sent a message saying a rendezvous address.

It was 800 miles to go to Jietian City. If they invited a few more companions and headed east across an area of ​​about 100 miles, they didn't need to take a long detour.

Robbery cultivators are everywhere in the wild, and they all believe in the golden belt of murder and arson, so there is no need to go on adventures to find treasures.

After chatting for a while, Xu Yuanchang got up and walked up to the second floor. He sold the thirty talismans he had drawn some time ago to the shop in exchange for ninety spiritual coins, accumulated through the previous two sales of talismans, and a monthly salary of twenty spiritual coins. , he saved another three hundred and fifty spirit coins on hand.

No items were purchased this time.

An Ciyu invited him to drink tea by the window. After sitting down, he said with a smile: "Congratulations, you have become a monster hunter."

The information she received was seriously delayed. There were not many demon hunters in the city, and the circle was unique. It was inconvenient for other forces to inquire. Four months ago, someone with a warrant from the Hundred Arrest Bureau took away Xu Yuanchang's consumption records in the shop. It should be the work of the demon hunter.

No wonder Xu Yuanchang refused to settle down and become a guest monk.

He is a person with high ambitions and extensive connections.

She made the decision and gave away a communication talisman drawing technique for free, which can be regarded as a small investment to close the relationship.

She was proud of her vision for being able to make friends with a monster hunter who started out as a humble person.
