And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 186 Goodbye Lu Yan
"The Daoist is..."

At this moment, a middle-aged Taoist priest, also wearing a gray Taoist robe, walked out of a room in the Taoist temple and walked up to Chen Yuan. He looked at Chen Yuan with a somewhat surprised expression.

Because he could tell at a glance that Chen Yuan was not an ordinary Taoist priest.

Ordinary Taoist priests simply cannot do it to make an animal listen to themselves like this.

"My Taoist name is Qing Ming. I came to this Taoist temple for some matters. I need to offer incense and worship to Mr. Lu Xiang. Please be accommodating."

Chen Yuan said seriously.

"Even if you want to worship Lu Xiangong, you must abide by the rules of the Taoist temple..."

The little Taoist priest looked a little aggrieved and muttered in a low voice.

Chen Yuan did not explain, because there were some things that could not be explained clearly.

He identified the direction and walked straight to the Lu Xianguan Hall where his master Lu Xiangong was enshrined. He came to the door and stepped in.

"Ugh……"

The little Taoist priest wanted to call Chen Yuan, but was stopped by his master.

"Wait a minute, this Taoist temple is dedicated to Lu Xiangong, not to you or my master or disciple. All visitors are pilgrims and believers. Everyone has the right to come in and worship. Don't stop him, just let him go."

The middle-aged Taoist stopped the young Taoist priest.

He had a hunch that this young Taoist was definitely not an ordinary person, so he stopped his apprentice's reckless behavior.

Although he stopped his disciple, the middle-aged Taoist still came to the entrance of Lu Xianguan Hall with his disciple and stood at the door observing Chen Yuan's movements.

Chen Yuan walked straight into Lu Xianguan, the main hall enshrining his master Lu Xiangong.

In the main hall, there were a row of blue futons, plus a huge four-cornered incense burner about four feet high. Behind the incense burner was a long and narrow offering table, on which were placed fruits, candles and other objects.

And among the few green smoke, you can see that the one enshrined in the center is a middle-aged Taoist who is eight feet tall, wearing a white-faced Taoist robe, a Hunyuan scarf on his head, and a long sword on his back. He is looking forward, with a smile in his eyes, and a kind expression.

It is similar to the statue of master Lu Xianggong placed in the Luxian Temple in Lujiang City.

Chen Yuan took three sticks of incense on the incense table next to him, folded his hands, and turned the incense upside down. Then the three sticks of incense spontaneously ignited without fire, igniting a little fire, mixed with wisps of green smoke rising.

This scene was also seen by the master and apprentice who were watching Chen Yuan's movements outside the hall, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

Because this move is not simple, it already belongs to the category of magic.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was secretly glad that he was right to stop his apprentice just now.

The little Taoist priest's expression changed. He did not expect that this arrogant young Taoist priest, who was not much older than him, turned out to be a Taoist master who knew magic.

Chen Yuan didn't know what the two pairs of Taoist masters and disciples outside the door were thinking.

After lighting the three sticks of incense in his hand, he calmed down, lowered his head and took a closer look at his clothes, making sure that there was nothing untidy on his body, and keeping his body and mind clean, he inserted the three sticks of incense in his hand into the incense burner.

"Disciple Qing Ming pays homage to Master and invites Master to come..."

Chen Yuan prayed sincerely while burning incense.

While Chen Yuan was praying.

In front of a small Taoist temple that looks no different from an ordinary Taoist temple, even a little shabby.

There was a green pine, and there was an old cow under the green pine. The old cow was tied under the tree, lying on its stomach on the ground, with its hoofs resting on the cow's head, its belly rising and falling slightly, and it slept soundly.

Next to the old cow, on the other side of the pine tree trunk, there was a shepherd boy in gray cloth with a hat hanging on his back. He had no shoes and bare feet. He looked young, about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was leaning against the cow. Napping in the trunk of a green pine tree.

This Taoist temple only has two or three rooms, and the interior decoration is very simple. Except for beds, couches, desks, chairs, shelves, cabinets and other ordinary furniture, there is nothing else.

Strangely, there are no statues of any gods enshrined in Taoist temples.

In the main room, Chen Yuan's master, Lu Yan, was playing chess with an old Taoist who was nine feet tall and wore a black Taoist robe. His earlobes were larger than ordinary people. He had a gourd hanging on his waist and a protruding forehead.

Lu Yan holds the white piece!
The old Taoist leader is a black man!
"How is your disciple doing lately?"

While making his move, the old Taoist asked casually.

"It's causing quite a stir in the human world."

"It seems that the cultivation level has just broken through the inner nourishment realm and entered the life realm."

Lu Yan also replied casually.

"The progress is so fast. The last time you crowned him, he was still in the cultivation state, right?"

asked the old man.

"Yes, only one year has passed."

Lu Yan replied.

One day in heaven, one year on earth!
A year has passed on earth, and only one day has passed in heaven.

"This son is extraordinary."

After pondering for a moment, the old Taoist priest finally gave an evaluation.

But Lu Yan knew how rare it was for the veteran in front of him to give an extraordinary evaluation.

Even in the entire heaven of the upper realm, among the immortals and gods, there are only a few who can get such evaluation from him.

"My disciple is good at everything, but he doesn't seem to be close to my master. It's been a year, and I haven't seen him send me any news to tell me about his recent situation."

Lu Yan's tone contained dissatisfaction.

Although he had been secretly paying attention to every move of the disciple in the human world, Lu Yan felt a little dissatisfied when he saw that a year had passed without a letter from him, or even informed him of his situation over the past year.

As soon as he finished speaking, a curl of green smoke appeared in front of Lu Xian and Lao Dao out of thin air, as if blowing from nine days away.

"Disciple Qing Ming pays homage to Master and invites Master to come..."

"Disciple Qing Ming pays homage to Master and invites Master to come..."

In this curl of green smoke, a man's voice kept coming.

Lu Yan didn't want to pay attention to it at first. He just pretended that he didn't hear it and continued to play chess with Lao Tao.

But the sound was like maggots on the tarsal bones, which could not be driven away, making Lu Yan very upset.

"evil creature!"

Lu Yan cursed loudly, then smashed the chess game on the table. Lu Yan stood up and bowed to the old Taoist priest:

"Teacher, my disciple summoned me. I'm afraid there's something urgent. I'm afraid this game of chess won't go down. I'll take my leave first and go teach my disciple a lesson. I'll make up for it later."

The old Taoist priest with a gourd hanging on his waist waved his hand and said:
"Since it is your disciple who summons you, you should go quickly."

Seeing that he had obtained the teacher's consent, Lu Yan looked happy and turned around to leave.

"Next time you don't want to play chess, just say so. If you ruin the chess game in this way again, I will throw you into the sun star, hang you on a bamboo pole, and roast you with real fire for a hundred years."

Just when Lu Yan was about to walk out of the Taoist temple, the old Taoist's faint voice came from behind.

Lu Yan suddenly smiled bitterly. Did he not want to play chess?

Are you almost losing?

And he cheated just once, but the teacher didn’t know how many times he cheated.

The teacher typically only allows state officials to set fires, but does not allow common people to light lamps!

While thinking, Lu Yan's body turned into a streak of green light and rushed straight out of the Taoist temple at an extremely fast speed. It drew a bright star tail and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Teacher, don't worry, there will never be a next time."

Only Lu Yan's residual voice was left in the Taoist temple.

The old Taoist looked at Lu Yan's leaving figure, then glanced at the disrupted chess game in front of him, with a smile flashing in his eyes.

……

world.

Jianghuai City.

Lu Xianguan.

"Master, why haven't you come yet? Could it be that something has delayed you?" Chen Yuan saw that the stick of incense he had lit was almost burnt out. Master Lu Yan still hadn't appeared, and he didn't even see his shadow. He felt a little worried. in a hurry.

Recruiting Master Lu Yan was originally very simple, just use the Summoning Charm. He had the Taishang scarf robe blessed by the gods from the upper world as a medium, so it was very easy.

But when he went out this time, he did not wear the Taishang robe, only an ordinary Taoist robe.

As for the master and apprentice who were standing outside the door and paying attention to the movements in the hall, they were all confused.

I originally thought that Chen Yuan was a Taoist master with profound Taoism and magic, and his actions just now might have a purpose.

After waiting for a long time, nothing happened.

As time went by, it was almost dusk, and the few believers who had been in the temple in twos and threes had basically finished walking, and the entire Luxian Temple suddenly became empty and silent.

Only Chen Yuan and the other three were left.

Just when Chen Yuan was equally puzzled and wondered whether he should change his method and recruit the master.

I saw the statue of Master Lu Yan enshrined in Luxian Temple suddenly lit up, shaking and releasing a dazzling golden light. Then the next moment, a scholar-like figure holding a peony folding fan walked out of the statue. , landed in front of Chen Yuan, looking straight at Chen Yuan.

But Chen Yuan felt that the master Lu Yan in front of him looked a little unkind. Why?

"Disciple Qing Ming pays homage to Master."

Chen Yuan saluted his master Lu Yan.

No matter what the reason is, it is not strange to pay homage to many people. There is nothing wrong with saluting Master first.

When the master and apprentice saw Chen Yuan's actions outside the hall, they were stunned.

Because they didn't see anything, they just saw the statue shaking slightly, and they wondered if they had misjudged it just now. Chen Yuan was a charlatan, and he had been pretending to be a ghost before.

Do not!
wrong!

The middle-aged Taoist priest was keenly aware that in the direction of Chen Yuan's salute, the green smoke caused by burning incense candles seemed to avoid that place.

These avoided areas form a vague human shape.

It was as if there was an invisible invisible person standing there, and the green smoke from the burning incense candles was deliberately avoiding that place.

And the person who can avoid the burning incense candles enshrining the statue of Lu Xiangong is definitely not a human being!
It’s even less likely to be a ghost or demon!
Because Lu Xianguan is protected by Lu Xiangong, ordinary monsters dare not approach Lu Xianguan.

Then there is only one possibility...

Is it a god?
Or a fairy?
And this Taoist temple is dedicated to the immortal Lu Xiangong!
"Is it Mr. Lu Xiang who just appeared?"

A hint of horror flashed in the middle-aged Taoist priest's eyes.

Otherwise, what happened today would be completely unexplainable.

The young Taoist just called the other person master!

That is to say...

The other party is a disciple of the immortal Lu Xiangong.

……

Inside the hall.

"Have you finally remembered to be a teacher?"

Lu Yan looked at Chen Yuan calmly.

Chen Yuan felt something was wrong, and he quickly said: "Master, I haven't seen you for nearly a year. I miss you very much..."

Lu Yan said: "Since I want to be my master, I will let my master test your cultivation."

The ominous meaning in Chen Yuan's heart became even worse. A bad premonition suddenly occurred in his heart. He cautiously asked Lu Yan:

"I don't know how Master will test his disciples?"

Lu Yan said: "Didn't you practice the "Hunyuan Sword Classic" that I revised? I will test you with my swordsmanship today."

While talking, Lu Yan took the lead to walk out of Lu Xianguan Hall.

In a corner of Lu Xianguan's courtyard, there happened to be a bunch of Xiangfei bamboo for viewing. Lu Yan waved his hand, and a bamboo branch as thin as a hemp rope and about three feet long fell to the ground.

Lu Yan hit the bamboo branch with a wave of his hand, and the bamboo leaves on the bamboo branch fell to the ground one after another. The bamboo branch that was just lush and leafy suddenly turned into a bare bamboo stick.

"My master uses a bamboo branch as a sword. You go and get your sword. Today, you and I are not allowed to practice Taoism. We are purely testing swordsmanship!"

Lu Yan looked at Chen Yuan calmly and said.

"Master, wait a moment."

Chen Yuan is now unable to get off the tiger, so he can only agree.

He still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, although he knew that his master Lu Yan could easily modify a mortal sword scripture into a sword immortal cultivation method, which showed that he had extremely high attainments in swordsmanship.

But Master Lu Yan said that he would just test swordsmanship, and he must give Master Lu Yan a surprise.

Then Chen Yuan turned around and went outside the Taoist temple, taking off the rusty sword from the sword case on the gray donkey's back that was waiting for him outside the Taoist temple.

Facing those ghosts and monsters, he might just draw the rusty sword, but in front of his master Lu Yan, he had to be very alert and didn't dare to pretend too much.

After getting the rusty sword, Chen Yuan returned to Lu Xianguan.

In Lu Xian Temple, the middle-aged Taoist master and disciples were stunned by the sudden appearance of Lu Yan. Their hearts were filled with turmoil and they were not at peace.

"Master, offended."

Chen Yuan held a rusty sword and saluted Lu Yan who was standing in the courtyard.

"You are my disciple, you make the first move."

Lu Yan held a peony folding fan in one hand and a bamboo stick as a sword in the other, and looked at Chen Yuan calmly.

Chen Yuan immediately stopped talking and faced the enemy with Jiugong 36 Style, holding his sword to attack his master Lu Yan.

I saw sword lights looming in the courtyard. The rusty sword in Chen Yuan's hand was moving at an alarming speed. Each sword light turned into several sword lights at the same time, blocking all Lu Yan's escape routes and slashing towards Lu Yan.

But Lu Yan shook his head, and then stabbed Chen Yuan lightly with the bamboo stick in his hand.

The next moment, the sword energy in the yard, like a violent storm, and several sword lights like thunder, all dissipated. Only the tip of the bamboo stick in Lu Yan's hand was aimed at Chen Yuan's throat, only a few inches away from Chen Yuan's throat. It's less than a centimeter away.

If this was a real sword, Chen Yuan would probably be in danger.

"Come again, show off all your skills, otherwise you will not be my master's enemy with one sword."

Lu Yan withdrew the bamboo stick against Chen Yuan's throat and said to Chen Yuan calmly.

Chen Yuan saw that the "Hunyuan Sword Sutra" he had used with all his strength was broken by his master Lu Yan's sword.

There was also a hint of dissatisfaction in his heart, and he immediately stopped holding back and used all his strength.

For a time, sword energy was everywhere in the courtyard.

The ornamental plants and trees in the corner of the yard were chopped into powder by the sword energy.

On the walls of the surrounding houses in the yard, sword marks visible to the naked eye appeared one after another, and the yard was in a mess for a while.

The two middle-aged Taoist priests and apprentices who were standing nearby and witnessing all this only felt sharp invisible sword blades scraping against their bodies. The Taoist robes on their bodies were all cut by the invisible sword blades.

In order to avoid injury, they could only retreat continuously until they retreated to a corner.

The competition between Chen Yuan and his master Lu Yan also made Chen Yuan a little depressed and even a little desperate.

No matter how hard he tried, as soon as his master Lu Yan drew his sword, he would be defeated.

Even if Chen Yuan finally used the "Feiteng Secret Barrier" and the sword control method, it would be the same.

Chen Yuan failed miserably.

As for the sword competition, Master Lu Yan was just repeating the process of drawing out and putting away the sword.

"No need to compete. Master's swordsmanship is superb. This disciple is no match for you."

In the end, Chen Yuan was so shocked that he lost his confidence. He stopped and said to his master, Lu Yan.
