And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 115

The next day.

Chen Yuan woke up early.

He was wearing a pure black Taoist robe, carrying a sword case and a bundle on his back, and closed the door of the courtyard room where he had lived for more than half a month.

The ear-piercing sound of the courtyard door's shaft rubbing against the door frame made people get used to it after listening for a long time. When Chen Yuan turned around, he happened to see Xue Niang and the little yellow dog looking up at him with two pairs of black eyes.

When the little yellow dog was first brought back by Xue Niang, he just opened his eyes. After half a month of growth, he was already able to walk on his own.

In the past few days, they followed Xue Niang all day long, running around in Fuhu Temple, and the mouse and the dog seemed to have similar smells.

The Taoist priests in Fuhu Temple all knew that Xueniang and the little yellow dog were raised by Chen Yuan, and they usually let them run around without driving them away.

Even some young trailheads would bring out food and drink to entertain Xue Niang and the little yellow dog.

Let the rat and the dog feel a little bit reluctant to leave.

"Chen Yuan, are we really going to leave Fuhu Temple?"

"Xue Niang thinks this place is pretty good, and the Taoist priests here are also pretty good."

"How about we stay in Fuhuguan for a while before leaving?"

Xue Niang looked at Chen Yuan and said.

"You are nostalgic in Fuhu Temple, so you don't have to worry about eating and drinking!"

Chen Yuan showed no mercy and exposed Xueniang's thoughts.

"If you want to live with you and the little yellow dog, just stay here."

Chen Yuan left without looking back.

Seeing Chen Yuan leave, the little yellow dog glanced at Xue Niang beside him, and then at Chen Yuan who was leaving quickly.

It chose to keep up with Chen Yuan without hesitation, and trotted behind Chen Yuan.

"You don't care about loyalty, you forgot that Xueniang picked you up."

Xue Niang looked at the little yellow dog who chose to follow Chen Yuan without any hesitation, she said indignantly in place.

But looking at Chen Yuan and the little yellow dog, they both walked away.

"Wait for Xueniang."

Xue Niang also followed immediately.

……

The main hall of Fuhu Temple.

After a big battle the night before yesterday, the main hall of Fuhu Temple, which was turned into ruins, is being rebuilt by craftsmen recruited from Linjiang County by Daoist Xu Yun.

However, rebuilding is not something that will happen overnight. It may take at least one or two months to completely rebuild the main hall of Fuhu Temple.

"Fellow Daoist, won't you stay for a few days?"

Seeing that Chen Yuan was followed by a mouse and a dog, carrying a bundle and a sword box on his body, as if he was about to leave Fuhu Temple, Daoist Xu Yun who got the news rushed over immediately to bid farewell to Chen Yuandao.

"No, I've been living in Fuhuguan for a while. I only planned to stay for a few days and leave after finishing my work. I didn't expect to live in Fuhuguan for more than half a month."

Chen Yuan shook his head and refused.

While speaking, Chen Yuan took out three pieces of yellow talisman paper that had been drawn in advance, and handed them to Daoist Xuyun.

"This thing is the flying crane talisman. If the temple owner is in a hurry, he can use this talisman to contact the poor Taoist priest, and the poor Taoist priest will rush back to Fuhu Temple."

Chen Yuan said to Xu Yun.

Hearing that Chen Yuan was about to leave, he secretly rejoiced in his heart. He had already put on the Taoist robe of Fuhu Temple, and came over as a burly tiger demon Yinban. Hearing Chen Yuan's words, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

This is simply superfluous, okay? In his heart, he has given up on seeking revenge from Fuhu Temple, or fleeing from Fuhu Temple.

Chen Yuan left three talisman papers, is this obviously to guard against him?
"The method of using the Flying Crane Talisman is also very simple. You only need to write the notification on the letter paper and light the Flying Crane Talisman. The smoke will turn into a white crane and bring the letter to the hand of the poor."

Chen Yuan told Daoist Xu Yun how to use the flying crane talisman.

The flying crane talisman is also the only one in the "Book of Fenghuoyuan Spiritual Talismans" that can be used for communication.

However, the conditions for using it are very strict. This talisman was drawn by Chen Yuan, and there is Chen Yuan's aura left in it. Only after Chen Yuan gives it away, others can contact Chen Yuan through the flying crane talisman.

Chen Yuan could not rely on this talisman to notify others.

"Thank you buddy."

Daoist Xuyun said happily upon hearing this.

Because in this way, he would have nothing to worry about.

"you are welcome."

Chen Yuan laughed.

He looked at the tiger demon Yin Ban who was walking towards him and said: "I hope that you will still be there when Pindao passes by Fuhu Temple next time."

Yin Ban promised: "Don't worry, Taoist priest, Yin Ban will devote himself to practicing in Fuhu, and he has no other ideas."

But Yin Ban said to himself in his heart: "You have left so many behind-the-scenes, would Ben Shanjun dare to escape?"

Chen Yuan didn't know what was going on in Yin Ban's mind. For Fu Huguan and Daoist Xu Yun, he had enough behind him. It can be said that it is fate.

"The poor way is gone, there will be a period later."

Chen Yuan didn't miss this place any more, and left directly.

Xue Niang and the little yellow dog followed behind Chen Yuan and walked down the mountain together.

"Walking so freely, the Taoist priest is worthy of being a disciple of an immortal."

Seeing Chen Yuan's leaving back, Yin Ban sighed.

Daoist Xuyun: ...

Why didn't he realize that the arrogant tiger demon that his ancestor suppressed back then had such a side.

……

Get off the Fuhu Temple.

Chen Yuan stopped in the middle of a fork in the road, which had three intersections.

One is to go north, which is also the direction of Linjiang County.

One goes west, which is the direction leading to Jianghuai City, the capital of Chuzhou.

The last one is going southeast.

He was thinking about where to go next.

As he said to his elder brother and sister-in-law before, he is definitely not planning to go back to Luzhou Mansion for the time being. Next, he plans to go to Jianghuai City, the capital of Chuzhou Mansion, to take a look.

But going west is the Earth Temple, and Jianghuai City, the capital of Chuzhou Prefecture, is also in that direction.

But if you go southeast, you will reach Lujiang in only forty li.

The reason why Linjiang County is called Linjiang County is because it is adjacent to Lujiang River.

Chen Yuan now has two choices, one is to go west by land, which is more than [-] miles to Jianghuai City.

Another option is to go southeast. You can take a boat and travel by water. Although you have to detour for an additional [-] miles, a total of more than [-] miles, the speed is two or three days faster than going by land.

Chen Yuan was in a difficult situation for a while, and it was the first time he discovered that he actually had difficulty in choosing.

"Xue Niang, do you think we should go by land or by boat?"

Chen Yuan asked Xue Niang, who was harassed by the little yellow dog and was playing around at her feet, a little annoyed.

"What's a boat ride?"

Xueniang patted the little yellow dog hard, and after letting the little yellow dog be honest for a while, she asked Chen Yuan curiously.

It was only then that Chen Yuan remembered that Xueniang, as a mouse, should have lived on land all her life and had never been on a boat.

In fact, not to mention Xue Niang, even in the highly developed modern society of the previous life, there are many people who live in the inland who have never been on a boat in their entire lives.

"To put it simply, the boat is a big plank. We sit on the plank and go down the river at a faster speed than walking."

Chen Yuan explained to Xueniang in an easy-to-understand manner what it means to take a boat.

"It must be by boat, Xueniang has never been on a boat before."

Chen Yuan's explanation made Xueniang's eyes brighten, and she chose to take the boat without hesitation.

"Okay then, we'll take the boat."

Chen Yuan made a decision.

Then he turned and took the fork in the southeast direction.

It was still early at this time, the sun had just risen, and there were no believers who came to offer incense at the foot of Fuhuguan Mountain.

Therefore, the conversation between Chen Yuan and Xue Niang did not attract anyone's attention.

Chen Yuan, a mouse and a dog, gradually disappeared on the winding road.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay..."

Not long after walking, a somewhat familiar voice appeared behind Chen Yuan, which made Chen Yuan's heart skip a beat.

Then he thought that the world was different, and he was too sensitive, so he stopped and turned around.

After turning around, he realized that it was Zhang Fude, the land owner, who called him.

"Fellow Taoist is about to leave Linjiang County, but he didn't even tell the old god."

Looking at Chen Yuan who turned around, the land lord, who was wearing a blue robe and holding a cane, said with a hint of complaint in his tone.

"Why is the land lord here?"

Chen Yuan smiled when he heard this, but changed the topic without answering.

In fact, he didn't intend to tell the land lord about his departure this time, but he didn't expect the land lord to know about it.

"The old god is in a restless mood today, and he has a feeling in his heart. He guessed that fellow daoist is leaving Linjiang County, so he came here specially to see him off."

The land is just.

While speaking, the Earth Lord took out something from his sleeve robe:
"The old god has lived for 700 years. Although he is not as rich as Wen Qinggong, Nanshishan God, and the brocade empress, he has nothing else to give, but he has a precious mirror."

Looking at the bronze mirror in the hands of the Land Lord, which is only the size of a palm, with patterns on the back, orange in color and simple in temperament, Chen Yuan rejects the land justice:
"Since it is the treasure of the land lord, how can the poor accept it?"

In fact, he is not rare for any treasures.

In his view, practice is the foundation.

As for magic weapons and spells, they are all for protecting the way.

"Fellow Daoist has helped the old god so much, what he added is to show the old god's heart, and the fellow daoist will accept it no matter what."

Landlord Zhang Fude insisted.

Seeing that the land lord wanted to accept this object no matter what, Chen Yuan had no choice but to accept this simple bronze mirror.

"Thank you, Lord of the Land."

Chen Yuan thanked you.

"It's okay. In fact, the mirror that the old god gave to fellow daoist is a treasure, but it's not particularly precious. It's just a rare and fun plaything. You don't need to take it seriously."

"The function of this mirror is that as long as anyone who is illuminated by this mirror, the afterimage will remain in this bronze mirror. Daoist friends can designate any person or object to become an afterimage in the bronze mirror."

The land lord smiled.

"However, this bronze mirror can only leave at most one afterimage. Every time this bronze mirror is used to illuminate other objects, the last afterimage will be erased. In addition, this mirror is only limited to changing living creatures, ghosts and ghosts. Birds, beasts, and lifeless plants, trees, bamboos, and stones cannot change."

Then the land lord added.

"If that's the case, then this thing has some effect on the poor."

Chen Yuan was surprised.

The function of this bronze mirror is already similar to some transformation spells.

"Although this bronze mirror has some functions, the feet of the transformed person or ghost cannot leave the ground, otherwise they will return to their original shape. In addition, this mirror can only deceive ordinary people, but cannot deceive powerful practitioners and gods. "

The land lord said some more, the disadvantages of this bronze mirror.

"No wonder the land lord just said that this thing is not too precious, it's just a relatively rare plaything."

Chen Yuan suddenly said.

If this bronze mirror had no disadvantages, it would be a great treasure, it could even be called a magic weapon.

Chen Yuan put away the bronze mirror, and said justice to the land: "Thank you for the treasures sent by the land, and thanks to the land's favor, this mirror is taken away by the poor."

The Lord of the Earth looked reluctant and said: "Fellow Daoist cherishes it."

Under the watchful eyes of the land lord, Chen Yuan turned around and continued on the road with Xue Niang and the little yellow dog, and disappeared at the end of the road under the reflection of the golden rising sun.

……

On the way to Lujiang.

This combination of a dog and a mouse is too dazzling, causing passers-by to stare frequently.

Chen Yuan didn't put Xue Niang and the little yellow dog into the baggage behind him either.

As long as Xueniang doesn't speak in front of other passers-by, even though she is bigger, no one will regard her as a monster.

Most passers-by would only think that this is a strange beast raised by a Taoist priest, Chen Yuan.

I also rested a few times in the middle, mainly to wait for Xueniang to recover her strength.

Chen Yuan was full of energy, but Xueniang and the little yellow dog couldn't keep up. The little yellow dog was still young, and Chen Yuan couldn't let the little yellow dog follow along. Finally, he directly stuffed the little yellow dog into the pocket on his back. In the burden.

It takes five or six hours for an ordinary person to cover a road of forty miles.

However, Chen Yuan didn't need to consider the deceleration caused by physical exertion, and he didn't need to rest on the side of the road to recover his physical strength. He was very energetic. It took him four hours to rush from Fuhu Temple to the edge of Lujiang River at sunset in the afternoon.

Standing by the river, Chen Yuan found that the Lujiang River was sparkling, and the setting sun shone on the river, turning the entire river into a dark golden color.

On both sides of the Lujiang River, the mountains are green and undulating. The Lujiang River shuttles through the mountains. From time to time, several boats sail on the river, which is as beautiful as a landscape painting.

But on the bank of the Lujiang River, there is a small town built along the river, surrounded by rivers and mountains.

There is also a wharf in the small town. Boats coming and going in the river will stop here from time to time, and continue to set off after replenishing some food in the small town.

"Let's go, let's go to the small town and ask in the small town to see if we can find the boat that will take us to Jianghuai."

After Chen Yuan stood on the bank and looked at it for a while, he said to Xue Niang beside him.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Yuan planned to stay in this small town for one night.

"Okay, let's find something to eat by the way, Xueniang is almost exhausted after walking all day."

Xueniang was sitting at Chen Yuan's feet, panting heavily as the mouse's belly sucked in and out, looking like she was about to be paralyzed from exhaustion.

"You've only been walking for a day, and you feel tired?"

"Xueniang is not your human!"

"But you are a rat demon."

"The monster has to eat too!"

"You're right."

While talking with Xueniang, Chen Yuan bent down and lifted Xueniang by the neck, put Xueniang into his bag, and walked to the nearby town.

Since she was going to enter the town, Xue Niang must not be released, otherwise it might cause trouble.

When walking into the town, Chen Yuan found a wooden archway.

Aoki Town!
There is the name of the town on the archway.

Chen Yuan followed the crowd and walked into the town.
