Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 170 Chapter 160 The Nine Toads

The sunshine in April shines on the rolling hills, the green forests sway and dance slowly in the wind, and there is a refreshing fragrance in the mountains.

For the common people and pilgrims living at the foot of the Cangyu Mountain, there has been a mysterious atmosphere in the past ten days. Fifteen days ago, Lingyun Temple suddenly closed its doors to thank visitors. Monks, however, no longer wantonly collect money for sesame oil, but open the door of convenience for the common people to come in and out at will.

Of course, there are also rumors among the common people in the market that the former abbot was a Hu, who kidnapped many women and sold them to the grasslands. After being destroyed by an expert, the original abbot and some monks pretending to be Hu also disappeared. .

For a while, the number of pilgrims in Lingyun Temple gradually decreased, and the bustle of the past disappeared. It became a quiet temple in the dense forest in the mountains, leaving behind a long and curious legend.

The gloomy east foot.

In the Chengyun Gate on Huiyang Peak, the disciples in the gate are sitting cross-legged in the yin and yang array of the square, reflecting the noon sun to absorb and exhale. In the attic far away, Chen Yuan lit a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner. The wood carvings on the bookcase opposite With a majestic demeanor and divine light in her eyes, Chen Yuan bowed three times.

Then, Zhang Fei Woodcarving sniffed it, then raised his voice and waved his snake spear: "Okay, the ceremony is over." He jumped off on the black horse and called his second brother Guan Yu Woodcarving to go for a stroll outside .

In an instant, the bookcases full of outstanding wooden sculptures of different shapes put away their majestic expressions just now, and dispersed in a rush, yelling and calling out to their acquaintances to go to the room or the corridor outside to do their own interesting things, watching from the sidelines The passing disciples were stunned, but they didn't dare to stop them, they moved their feet carefully against the wall to avoid it.

"How do you feel now?"

Chen Yuan was sitting in front of the table with a chisel, and was concentrating on peeling off the scales of a long body. The object of the conversation was a small white snake coiled on the bed frame. Its eyes were yellow and red, and there was a hint of cuteness in its mouth. .

"I'm fine now, Zhenjun, can you tell me the story of the white lady and Xu Xian?"

"I'm not free today, let's try another day."

Chen Yuan actually didn't like this story, not because the white lady was bad, but because she felt that Xu Xian was too cowardly and didn't have the responsibility of a man, and sometimes she felt ashamed of a man when she thought about it.

But the little white snake likes to listen to it, probably because it belongs to the same kind of snake, and it also yearns for the human body and immortality. I heard some of it in the Buddhist Palace that day. At the beginning, I just told the story casually, but the little white snake was fascinated by it, and whenever I had time, I would stick to my side and beg to continue telling it.

"Actually, my biggest doubt is why the white lady gave birth instead of eggs? You are also a snake, so you should know the reason?"

"How...how does this concubine know?"

The little white snake hanging on the bedside shelf was spitting out the letter very quickly. I don't know if it was shy, but it didn't bother to tell the story anymore. It quickly retracted from the shelf and put its head against the wall.

Chen Yuan smiled and did not continue to ask. This question was intentionally asked to interrupt the entanglement of the little white snake.Immediately, he blew away the long wooden carving in his hand, and the sawdust flew out. Looking at the dragon-shaped carving with a thick wrist in his hand, he pinched out his fingers and pointed at the dragon's head.

Lingzhuan divine power. Demonstration!

The eyes of the longan shone brightly, and a dragon chant sounded indistinctly in the room. The wooden dragon in Chen Yuan's hand moved for a moment, its mane fluttered, its beard fluttered, and its long body twisted. All the fine scales on his body stretched out, his limbs propped up in the palm of his hand, and he threw it to the sky, as if a cloud was born, and swam around Chen Yuan.

It's a pity that it's just an ordinary thing. It can't have its own spirituality and ability like Renjie and the wood carvings in Senluo Temple. It can only do something according to Chen Yuan's ideas.

He sculpted this dragon, in fact, he also wanted to verify that when he returned to the human body, whether his magic power had improved, whether the power of incense and his own cultivation could be integrated, and that he had entered the Jindan realm, and the incense was still flowing. The other side of the temple conveyed to himself that if he could supplement his realm with incense, he would no longer need to practice blood-sucking food.

If this path is cleared, it will be many times faster than ordinary cultivators.

"You stay in the room, I'll go out to get some air." Chen Yuan also didn't go out for several days, and her master didn't know where she went, so she simply got up and brushed the sleeves of her robe, the wooden dragon flew straight to the table, and turned into a dumb dragon again. Stupid woodcarving.

He didn't bring anything else, he greeted all the outstanding people in the house, and went downstairs. The disciples of Chengyun Sect he met on the way greeted Chen Yuan respectfully. His attitude is also kind.

After all, Yin Tianlei almost wiped out the ruthlessness of the Canglan Sword Gate before, and one person picked Lingyun Temple, but it was impossible to put it on someone else.

In addition, it is heard that his master is the sixth-generation patriarch who disappeared in Tianshi Mansion, and he is close to his own sect.

Naturally, Chen Yuan also politely responded to the disciples who greeted her and the elders in the sect. She has been living in Cangyu Mountain these days, so how can she act like an expert?
Just after leaving Jingxian Pavilion, a rather young disciple came over to salute: "True Monarch, Master please come over."

Chen Yuan was conferred by the emperor himself, and these junior disciples can only call him that. Over there, Chen Yuan nodded with a smile, bowed her hands and bowed, and then followed this young disciple.

The latter is also secretly looking at this young true monarch, handsome and easy-going, unlike those monks who come to worship the mountain, who look down on those with low cultivation.

"What's your name? How old are you?"

When walking past the huge Dao characters at the foot of the mountain wall, Chen Yuan asked suddenly, and the junior and middle school disciples woke up suddenly, and quickly said, "Hui Zhenjun, my name is Yunji, and I just turned twelve."

"Well, have you reached the point of practicing qi? You are young and have excellent aptitude." Chen Yuan praised, which made the young disciple scratch his hair shyly. Chen Yuan looked around: "You can see a A strange old man, and a green bull?"

"I see, the old man rode a cow and ran into the mountains. I called him, but unfortunately he ignored me."

While talking, there was a sudden commotion on the stone steps of the mountain gate at the end of the square, and then a group of outside disciples rushed over with swords, the quarrel became louder, and someone escaped and ran to the cave on the mountain , to report to the head teacher, just passing by here, Chen Yuan called the man to stop.

"What happened over there?"

Seeing that it was Chen Yuan, the outer disciple didn't hide it, and pointed in the direction of the mountain gate: "Hui Zhenjun, a wild Taoist priest from somewhere wants to enter the mountain, and he brought a monster with him, saying that he wants to see Chen... hey."

Only then did the disciple think of the person in front of him, and hastily changed his words: "It is said that I want to meet the real king."

"I?"

Chen Yuan was also a little surprised, a wild Taoist brought a monster, could it be that Sun Zhengde came here when he encountered a difficult monster when he came out of the mountain?That's not right, that guy's virtue, the speed at which he can escape, even monsters can't catch up.

After thinking about it randomly, he didn't think of who it was, so he simply went to see Master Chengyun later, waved the tactic in his sleeve to his feet, suddenly became light, jumped with his hands behind his back, floated across the sword washing pool in front, and fell to the square , like a gust of wind coming to a noisy place in the blink of an eye.

Over there, a group of outer room disciples were arguing with figures with disheveled buns and tattered Taoist robes.

"... How could the Chengyun Sect come in as soon as it said it, and even brought a monster with it!"

"How can you say that you are from the Tianshi Mansion? Why are you dressed like this in the Tianshi Mansion? I'm afraid it hasn't been washed for several months."

"Brothers, don't continue talking to this person, just drive him away."

"What about the monster? There are Chengyun and Tianshi Mansion in the north, and the monsters with a radius of thousands of miles have already moved away. Suddenly, such a monster came. If something happened, I thought Chengyun would just sit back and ignore it! Why don't we work together to capture it? , Hand it over to the headmaster!"

Amidst the noisy voices, Chen Yuan approached the back of the crowd. From the shoulders of the crowd, she saw a familiar figure at the foot of the stone steps in front of her. Then she looked at the face of the other party who was arguing with others, and immediately knew who it was. .

"Everyone, that is my old acquaintance!"

Chen Yuan spoke suddenly, full of anger, and the disciples in the surrounding outer room turned their heads in shock. Seeing that it was Chen Yuan standing there with their hands behind their backs, they immediately backed out to let Chen Yuan come over.

The figure over there who heard the voice also showed a smile on his face. Seeing Chen Yuan coming out of the crowd, he stepped forward a few steps and bowed his hands, "Chen Daoyou is really easy to find. He ran to Luodu and was confused by your gatekeeper. Disgraced, finally got here, and was made things difficult by a bunch of juniors."

"Then Yuan will make up for the Taoist priest!"

Chen Yuan laughed and bowed her hands together, causing the old Taoist Yunlong to reach out to help him, "It's just a joke, fellow Taoist, don't take it seriously."

"Haha, I'm also joking."

The two looked at each other, and immediately burst out laughing. Immediately, Chen Yuan raised her hand to the surrounding Chengyun disciples: "Everyone, this is my good friend. Can you leave us here to talk?"

Everyone naturally knew who it was in front of them, so they bowed their swords and returned the salute: "True Monarch, please go ahead."

After saying that, they dispersed one after another, leaving two people standing in front of the mountain gate.

"Why don't you go in and talk?"

Chen Yuan wanted to invite Yunlong to the attic where he lived temporarily, but the latter shook his head: "It's right here, Pindao brought a monster over here, and it's not right to go in with it."

monster?

Chen Yuan looked around, and for a moment, her eyes fell on a dense forest on the right side of the stone steps, and her voice was clear and clear: "Since you came here with Taoist Master Yunlong, you might as well show up."

There was a rustle in the forest, and the trees tilted and swayed. Gradually, a figure the size of a room crawled out on all fours. There was a little scarlet in the huge eyes.

It's a... big toad.

At least Chen Yuan had never seen such a big one. For a moment, the toad's head exposed in the woods stared straight at the figure above the stone steps, and asked in a low voice from the closed toad's mouth: "Are you the real king?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "It's me."

Immediately, he looked at old Taoist Yunlong.

"The Taoist brought it here, what is it for?"

"Let's judge!"

Yunlong unfastened the mahogany sword behind his back, cast a sharp glance at the toad monster with its huge head protruding from the forest, sat down on the stone steps freely, and began to talk about something.

"Pin Dao came across this monster in the northwest of Qishan Mountain. He was just passing by. He happened to run into four monks from a small sect. He said that he had discovered a monster in the mountain and wanted to kill it. He didn't care about it at the time, but he didn't know what happened later. A group of three monks ran back, and one of them was killed by this toad. I got rid of it, and it also fought against the poor Taoist, but was defeated. I said that those monks provoked it first, and if I wanted to find someone to judge, it named it Dao surname wants you to judge."

"Yes, I just want Zhenjun to comment!"

The forest swayed, and the dull voice came out again from the giant toad's mouth: "I practice in the mountains, and in my spare time I spend my free time in the forest looking at the people passing by on the road outside. They don't eat people and don't do evil. Why should they Are you going to kill me? Do I deserve to be a demon, so I was killed for no reason? Who knows that one of them has no ability, and died after being contaminated by my poisonous smoke, and ran to find this old Taoist..."

"Then why do you want me to judge, you know me?"

Toad blinked his eyes, and the voice rose again.

"I have seen Zhenjun... That day you were in the sky, riding a red cloud, and I looked up in the pond... Later, I accidentally heard a few monks talking about you in the mountains, and I realized that it was you that day. To avenge your loved ones, at your own expense...I believe that you are naturally fair in dealing with things."

As the wind blew through the forest, Master Chengyun heard the news and came over at this time.

Here, Chen Yuan also felt a little troubled, thinking about how to judge the other party.

　This big toad is in Chapter 140. Ming Hui told Chen Yuan that Yunlong met a toad spirit when he went to the northwest of Qishan Mountain.

　　Also, from the 28th to the 29th, there will be more updates in these two days!
