And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 188 Immortal teaches disciples
"Master, your name is Lu Yan, and the people call you Lu Xiangong. The god Zhang Xian that my disciple met before also calls you the emperor. What is your identity?"

Chen Yuan asked his master Lu Yan.

Chen Yuan suspected that his master should be the legendary Lu Dongbin, but he was not sure.

Because Chen Yuan didn't know much about Lu Dongbin, the only thing he knew was that Lu Dongbin was one of the Eight Immortals, and there were legends about Lu Dongbin playing with white peony.

Although he had never heard of it in his previous life, Lu Dongbin had another name called Lu Yan.

But the ancients had too many names, and just like him now, they were both names, characters, and numbers.

Maybe Lu Dongbin is the character and Lu Yan is the name, or maybe Lu Yan is the character and Lu Dongbin is the name...

These are all possible.

"You will know your identity as a teacher in the future."

Lu Yan shook his head, apparently not wanting to tell Chen Yuan his identity right now.

"Does Master know who Lu Dongbin is?"

Chen Yuan couldn't help but ask his master Lu Yan.

"Lu Dongbin? Never heard of it."

After Lu Yan heard this, he shook his head and said.

"Who is this, and why does he have the same surname as our teacher?"

Then Lu Yan asked Chen Yuan curiously.

"It's nothing. Maybe the disciple admitted his mistake."

Chen Yuan shook his head.

Looking at Master Lu Yan's expression, it didn't look like he was faking it. Chen Yuan could only think that it was because of his own fault and that it was all just a coincidence.

Chen Yuan then told his master Lu Yan some of his recent experiences.

Including being given the Immortal Traveling Pillow by Marquis Su Huan, and the "Liu Ren Dao Dharma" presented to him by the Brocade Empress. In addition, on his way back from Aoshan last time, he was attacked by the White Lotus Dao Lotus Head, but he received the Immortal Grass, Xingyue Grass and the Millennium Flower. Polygonum multiflorum, plus the White Lotus Taoist treasure "White Lotus Jade Book".

"You are so blessed. I never imagined that in just one year, you would have had so many adventures."

Lu Yan was amazed after hearing this.

"The Star-Moon Grass can be cultivated into a pair of immortal bones if taken regularly, and the Millennium Horse Liver Stone can be refined into elixirs for consumption. And the "White Lotus Jade Book" is the token of the White Lotus Taoist leader. It is both a magic weapon and a secret book. It records many spells of Bailian Dao."

"As for the "Wandering Immortal Pillow"..."

Lu Yan seemed to have thought of something and stopped talking.

"What's wrong, Master? Could it be that this Immortal Pillow has other secrets?"

Chen Yuan asked his master Lu Yan.

"This "Wandering Immortal Pillow" can accelerate the cultivation of the Yuan Shen, and lying on the "Wandering Immortal Pillow" can increase the Yuan Shen's travels, making the Yuan Shen of ordinary practitioners no worse than that of the Corpse Execution Immortal. Although for the real The Immortal is of no use, but it is a good toy. I happen to know some of its origins, and you also happen to know the people related to the Immortal Pillow."

Lu Yan looked at Chen Yuan.

"Master, you mean Mr. Xiyi?"

After Chen Yuan thought for a moment, he thought of an answer and said to Lu Yan.

Because only Mr. Xiyi seems to be related to this "Immortal Travel Pillow".

"Yes, this "Wandering Immortal Pillow" was originally his. Later, he lost to others in a chess bet. Who would have thought that after so many twists and turns, it fell into the hands of Marquis Su Huan."

Lu Yan nodded.

"Master, that thing..."

Chen Yuan was surprised and tested his master Lu Yan's tone.

"You don't need to tempt me, master. Since this thing was given to you by Marquis Su Huan, it is yours now."

"What's more, this 'Wandering Immortal Pillow' has other functions. If you slowly explore it, you will know it in the future."

Lu Yan looked at Chen Yuandao funny.

Lu Yan's words reminded Chen Yuan of that time when he accidentally entered the Netherworld.

"Could this be the other function that Master mentioned?"

Chen Yuan was a little uncertain.

But after thinking about it, he didn't ask his master Lu Yan this question.

If master Lu Yan wants to tell him, he will definitely tell him. If he doesn't tell him, it means that the other party has a reason not to tell him.

Then Chen Yuan asked Master Lu Yan for advice on some cultivation doubts. Master Lu Yan naturally answered everything he knew.

The master and apprentice chatted for a full hour and a half. Unknowingly, the sky had already darkened completely, and a crescent moon appeared silently, hanging in the night sky.

Although the Taoist temple had already closed its doors, the pair of masters and disciples stood by respectfully, not daring to disturb them in the slightest.

After all, this was the first time in my life that the immortal Lu Xiangong enshrined in the Taoist temple appeared and taught his disciples.

After watching for a while, they felt that the matter of the immortal teaching his disciples involved secrecy, and it was not appropriate for mortals to be watching from the side. In order to avoid offending the immortal and making the immortal unhappy, they closed the Taoist temple early. After opening the door, the master and apprentice went to the main hall of Lu Xianguan, leaving the courtyard to Chen Yuan and his apprentice.

"It's getting late. This meeting ends here."

Lu Yan said to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan knew that Master Lu Yan was planning to leave.

"The disciple respectfully sent off the master."

Chen Yuan saluted Lu Yan.

Lu Yan was about to leave when he seemed to think of something. He stopped and looked Chen Yuan up and down.

"By the way, I see that your cultivation level is now in the life realm. Your cultivation level is not low anymore. It just so happens that my teacher has something to do for you."

Lu Yan said to Chen Yuan.

"If anything happens, just ask Master."

Chen Yuan said to Lu Yan.

"You go to Shangluo Mansion in Guanzhong and win the Buddhist and Taoist Dharma Assembly for the Taoist Sect in the early spring of next year."

Lu Yan said directly.

"Buddhist and Taoist Dharma Assembly?"

Chen Yuan thought of the beggar Taoist, and his target seemed to be the Buddhist Dharma Assembly.

"But Master, I don't know how to debate scriptures at all."

Chen Yuan said helplessly.

During his time at Qingyang Temple, although he also read some Taoist scriptures, he was still far away from debating the scriptures.

"Who told you that all you need to win the Buddhist Dharma Assembly is debate the scriptures?"

Lu Yan asked Chen Yuandao in return.

"What does Master mean?"

Chen Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words.

"If you want to win the Buddhist Dharma Assembly, you do need to debate scriptures in the early stage, but this is not the key factor in whether you can win in the end. The key factor in whether you can win is who is stronger."

Lu Yan explained.

Chen Yuan suddenly understood that after holding this Buddhist and Taoist ceremony for a long time, whether he could win in the end depended on whose fist was stronger. It was not just a battle of words.

"Master, don't worry. This disciple will definitely rush to Shangluo Mansion in Guanzhong to complete this matter before the early spring of next year."

Chen Yuan agreed and came down.

Seeing that Chen Yuan promised him, Lu Yan took a look at the messy yard where he had just had a sword fight with Chen Yuan.

"That's all, it's our Taoist temple after all, we can't just leave like this."

Lu Yan muttered to himself.

Then he didn't see any movement, and his eyes swept across the courtyard. The places where Lu Yan's eyes had glanced, the broken branches and leaves at dusk, and the sword marks left on the walls, all returned to their original appearance.

To others, all this seemed like going back in time. After just a few moments, the entire yard returned to its original appearance.

"That's about it."

Looking at his masterpiece, Lu Yan said with satisfaction.

When they heard that Lu Yan was about to leave in the main hall, the Taoist masters and apprentices who came out to see Lu Yan off happened to see this scene. They were shocked but felt that it was natural because the person in front of them was the immortal Lu Xiangong enshrined in the Taoist temple. ah.

"Okay, let's take the first step as a teacher."

Then the next moment, Lu Yan disappeared into the yard without warning, leaving Chen Yuan alone in the yard.

Chen Yuan has long been accustomed to his master Lu Yan being invisible when he leaves.

"I've been harassing you two for too long, so it's time for me to leave."

Chen Yuan put the rusty sword back into the sword case, put the sword case on his back, and said to the master and apprentice who came to him.

Master Lu Yan is an immortal and has a noble status. It is his nature to leave whenever he wants. As a mortal, he still needs to know some etiquette.

"What did the Taoist say? It's already late. Why don't the Taoist stay in the Taoist temple for one night and leave tomorrow?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest looked extremely respectful and tried to persuade Chen Yuan to stay.

After all, the person in front of him is Lu Xiangong's disciple. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely become one of the immortals in the future.Tonight, for him and his apprentice, two mortal Taoist priests, they were lucky enough to see an immortal teach them. It was a miracle, and this would definitely become a topic of conversation for their lives in the future.

"That's no need. Pindao's place is in the city. You can go back soon."

Chen Yuan declined.

He had important things to do when he returned to Qingyangguan. He was going to say goodbye to Li Shaojun and was not going to waste time here.

"Then walk slowly."

Seeing Chen Yuan's polite refusal, the middle-aged Taoist priest had no choice but to go to the main hall, bring an oil lamp, and personally open the viewing door for Chen Yuan and see him off.

When Chen Yuan walked out of Lu Xianguan, he found a pair of eyes looking directly at him outside the door. Chen Yuan took a closer look and found that the gray donkey was waiting for him at the door of the Taoist temple.

咴咴咴儿...

Seeing himself walking out of the Taoist temple, the gray donkey brayed with great excitement.

"Taoist Master, this donkey is really understanding of human nature."

The middle-aged Taoist priest praised him.

"Taoist Priest, I am the temple master and temple priest of Lu Xianguan. The one just now was my disciple. Taoist Priest, please don't take it to heart about what happened during the day."

Seeing Chen Yuan climb on the donkey's back, the middle-aged Taoist priest looked at the uneasy disciple next to him and shouted at Chen Yuan's back.

"Don't worry, it's just a trivial matter. I won't take it to heart. Not to mention your little apprentice's character, I quite appreciate it."

In response, the gray donkey under Chen Yuan began to trot on the street. With the sound of the donkey's hooves stepping on the bluestone, the figure gradually disappeared into the night.

Hearing Chen Yuan's answer, the middle-aged Taoist priest and his disciple secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

When Chen Yuan returned to Qingyang Temple.

The door of Qingyang Temple was closed. Chen Yuan went up and knocked on the door.

"It turned out to be the Taoist priest!"

The young Taoist priest guarding the door opened the door a crack. Seeing that it was Chen Yuan knocking on the door, he looked happy and quickly opened the door and welcomed Chen Yuan in.

After Chen Yuan said hello to him, he tied the gray donkey to the stable in the side yard.

On the way back just now, the gray donkey kept braying.

Chen Yuan barely understood what Gray Donkey meant. It turned out that when he was talking to his master Lu Yan for advice, Gray Donkey standing outside the Taoist temple was targeted by two stupid thieves.

They wanted to take away the gray donkey secretly, but the gray donkey directly kicked them both. One was kicked in the chest and fell unconscious on the spot. The other was kicked in the right leg and his right leg was directly broken.

After a long time, when the stupid thief who fainted woke up, the two of them supported each other and limped away.

I don't dare to think of Gray Donkey anymore.

Chen Yuan naturally praised Gray Donkey.

Chen Yuan settled the gray donkey and returned to the third floor of Daojing Pavilion.

"Chen Yuan, you are back!"

Opening the door, a white shadow came straight towards Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan took a closer look and found that it was Xue Niang.

"You've gotten a lot bigger."

Chen Yuan looked at Xue Niang and said.

The current Snow Lady is already the size of a lion cat, not much different from Xiao Huang.

"Chen Yuan, Xue Niang feels a little strange recently. The fur she was used to before is very uncomfortable recently, and she really wants to get off her body."

Xue Niang rubbed her back against Chen Yuan, she raised her head and said to Chen Yuan.

"It seems that your cultivation is about to break through and you are about to transform."

Chen Yuan thought for a while.

The lifespan of a spirit cultivator is much shorter than that of a human being, so it is not easy to transform into another form.

But if you have an unexpected encounter, you can speed up the process.

With Xue Niang by his side, her cultivation speed is not slow. In addition, she has taken a lot of the fairy grass Silver Moon Grass recently, and her fairy bones have been formed, and her transformation is expected.

"Chen Yuan, what do you think Xue Niang will look like after she transforms?"

Xue Niang asked Chen Yuan.

Xue Niang also knows some common sense about cultivation. She also knows what transformation is, but she doesn't know what she will look like.

"Maybe it will turn into a human form!"

Chen Yuan said in an uncertain tone.

However, there are many different forms of human beings, including men, women, old and young, tall, short, beautiful and ugly. Who knows what the Snow Queen will look like.

While Chen Yuan took off the sword box on his back, he said to Xue Niang on the ground and Xiao Huang who ran out of the corner of the room after hearing Chen Yuan's voice:

"You two stay at home, I have something to do and I have to go out."

After saying that, Chen Yuan closed the door and walked out alone.

He went down the stairs and came to the first floor of Daojing Pavilion and tried to push the door. The door was not closed. Chen Yuan directly opened the door and walked in.

Already extremely familiar with this place, he took the stairs and went straight to the second floor.

After arriving on the second floor, Chen Yuan saw Li Shaojun sitting at the table. He was sitting there every time he came, holding a Taoist scripture and reading it, dressed as a Taoist.

"Suchu, this is the first time that you are not traveling as a soul, and you have come to meet me in a physical way!"

Li Shaojun smiled when he saw Chen Yuan coming up from the first floor.

After hearing this, Chen Yuan sat opposite Li Shaojun and said to Li Shaojun:

"This is also the first time I discovered that the door on the first floor of Daojing Pavilion is not closed at night."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"Su Chu, it seems that you came here to say goodbye. Are you ready to leave?"

After laughing, Li Shaojun asked Chen Yuan.

"Fortunately, the matter entrusted to me by Brother Li has been fulfilled. I have already asked the master. Unfortunately, the master said that there is no way out if you become a ghost immortal. If you become a zombie immortal, you may go one step further."

"There are two paths before Brother Li now."

"The first is to leave the mortal body and find the corpse of a recently deceased person to possess you. You will also experience birth, old age, illness and death that mortals experience. In the future, every few decades, you will have to find the corpse of a recently deceased person to possess you again. In this way, you can You have a lifespan of 900 years, but you said that you are from the previous dynasty and have lived for 500 years. With this method, you can only live for another 400 years at most."

"The second is to give up one's cultivation and be reincarnated. It seems that I can embark on the path of cultivation again in this life."

Chen Yuan's words made the light that had just lit up in Li Shaojun's eyes gradually extinguish again.

"As expected, even Lu Xiangong is helpless in my situation!"

"I don't know these two methods. The first method is just to linger on. You are said to be an immortal, but you still have to go through life, old age, illness and death. You only have a total life span of 900 years. It is said to be an immortal, but in fact it is a torture. It can be said that It’s deplorable.”

"The second method is that many ghost immortals and zombie immortals with unstable foundations want to be reincarnated and rebuild, but there are only a few people who can really succeed in reincarnation and rebuild..."

Li Shaojun murmured to himself.

"Then what are Brother Li's plans next?"

Chen Yuan asked Li Shaojun.

"How am I going to prepare?"

Li Shaojun looked at the table and murmured in a low voice, seeming to be asking Chen Yuan, and also seemed to be asking himself.

Li Shaojun didn't speak for a long time, and Chen Yuan didn't bother him. He knew that Li Shaojun needed time to think about his next move.

The only thing in the room was the wisps of smoke rising above the wick when the oil lamp was burning, and the flickering light.

"I figured it out."

The room was silent for a long time before Li Shaojun raised his head and looked at Chen Yuan.

"I don't choose either option."

Then Li Shaojun said.

"Before I possessed him, all I did was practice, and I didn't know what I was practicing for. I never got married and had children, and I never enjoyed the happiness of a family. When my parents gave them to the world, I was still looking for medicine to make elixirs. Even my parents I haven't seen him for the last time, I haven't fulfilled my filial duty as a son of man, and I have done nothing but practice in my life."

"But I didn't even do a good job in cultivation. After 500 years of cultivation, I only became a ghost immortal who is not even an immortal."

Li Shaojun's tone was full of regret.

"Suchu, I am going to leave Qingyang Temple, find a body of a dying person to possess me, and live my whole life as an ordinary person."

"As for after one life, I may choose to be reincarnated and rebuild, or I may continue to the next life, no one can say for sure."

Li Shaojun looked at Chen Yuandao.

"I hope Brother Li and I will see each other again in the future."

Chen Yuan was a little surprised when he heard Li Shaojun's choice.

"Will do."

Li Shaojun said.

After making the decision, Li Shaojun's expression suddenly became much more relaxed.
