Chapter 19

Seeing Chen Yuan's unexpected look, Lu Yan continued to laugh and said:
"What? I thought that if you get drunk once and sleep soundly for a month, the teacher will reprimand you!"

Chen Yuan looked a little ashamed:

"Master, it's my fault that I didn't take Master's previous instructions to heart."

Lu Yan shook his head:
"Cultivating the Tao has never been a closed door and hard work, without contact with outsiders. The cultivation base obtained in that way is like a castle in the air made of sand and gravel. It is just an illusion that collapses at the touch of a touch. Once you encounter the temptation of the world of mortals, you may fall into the world of mortals at any time. relief."

"That's why my teacher never objected to you making friends and making a lot of wine. I just hope that you don't go to banquets all day like that Lujiang City God. You put your mind on making friends and neglect your own cultivation and go astray."

"This time you went to the banquet, and even though you were drunk and slept soundly for a month, your cultivation base improved greatly, and you touched the threshold of the pill, how can the teacher blame you?"

Lu Yan's words made Chen Yuan's eyes light up: "Master is right."

If he realizes something in his heart, practice hard behind closed doors, avoid contact with outsiders, and cut off communication with others, that kind of practice is not what he wants.

The obtained cultivation base is like pure white and flawless porcelain, which is easy to break when touched.

Such a person has been alone for a long time, and it is easy to get into a dead end in cultivation, and it is easier to go crazy.

He didn't want to be a celestial celestial being who lived in seclusion and detached from the world.

I even want to be a mortal fairy who lives in harmony with the light and plays games in the world.

"The Lujiang City God was willing to give you a "Hundred Days Drunk". It's no wonder that you slept soundly for a month after getting drunk."

Lu Yan looked at Chen Yuan for a while and said again.

"Master, what is "Hundred Days Drunk"?"

Chen Yuan had never heard of the name of this wine, so he asked in confusion.

"As the name suggests, after drinking this wine, you will be drunk for hundreds of days. "Hundred Days Drunk" is a kind of spiritual wine made from hundreds of exotic flowers and herbs. For the Lujiang City God, it can be regarded as a precious thing."

Lu Yan explained.

"Since drinking this wine will make you drunk for a hundred days, why did I only sleep for a month?"

Chen Yuan wondered.

"That's because your foundation is deep, so this wine only allows you to sleep soundly for a month. If you are mediocre people who only practice spells and don't pay attention to their own meditation practice, you may not be able to wake up after sleeping soundly for three months. .”

Lu Yan shook his head.

"This spiritual wine can increase the primordial essence, vitality, and primordial spirit of ascetics. You have not yet formed a womb to raise the primordial spirit, but it will only increase your primordial essence and vitality."

"Of course, this hundred-day drunk is just an introduction. What's more, when you're drunk and asleep, the "Fetal Breathing Jue" starts to run in your body. In this way, when you seem to be sleeping but not sleeping, your vitality will grow to the limit, not to mention Start to blend with each other and move towards the direction of the dantu."

Lu Yan said again.

Only then did Chen Yuan realize that it turned out that he slept soundly for a month drunk, and after waking up, his cultivation improved greatly, not only because of the wine from the Lujiang City God.

It is also because I got it from Mr. Huolong, the cultivation method "Fetal Breath Jue" of the Yinxian lineage.

"I have to say that this "Fetal Breath Jue" can practice in sleep, and it is indeed very suitable for practitioners in the internal cultivation environment."

Lu Yan sighed.

Although the "Taiyi Jinhua Tenet" created by himself is far more profound and profound than the "Fetal Breath Jue", the end point he can reach is also farther than the "Fetal Breath Jue".

But in terms of the speed of early stage practice, it is indeed not as good as the "Fetal Breath Jue", which he has to admit.

"Okay, let's not talk much, since you have been drunk and slept for a month, then I will give you two extra hours for each lecture for the teacher, and make up for the lessons you are missing as soon as possible."

Lu Yan looked at Chen Yuan, without any intention of discussing with him.

"Yes, Master."

After Chen Yuan agreed, he felt a little bitter in his heart.

Every time Master Lu Yan appeared, the original teaching time was two hours, and now two more hours were added to make it four hours.

He could already foresee that he would have a very miserable life in the future.

This teaching lasted until late at night and early in the morning, when the ground was covered with frost and the moon and stars were sparse, it was considered over.

During this period, the old Taoist leader Kongzi heard the movement in the backyard, and came to the backyard in Taoist robes to check it out. When he saw Chen Yuan talking to himself in the yard, he felt a sense of awe.

Knowing that this was the Lu Xiangong enshrined in the temple teaching his disciples again, he stopped talking and turned back to his warm bed.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

This morning, the red sun will rise.

In the thin mist, there is also a hint of coldness.

After several teasings from Chen Yuan, the Taoist leader Kongzi finally agreed to invite Chen Yuan and himself to the stewed cake shop in the morning to have a bowl of mutton stewed cakes.

"Two priests, but they haven't come for a long time."

When Chen Yuan and Chang Kongzi walked into the pancake shop, the thin, short, dark-skinned owner was busy on the stove and laughed.

"There was a delay some time ago, so I haven't come for a while."

Chen Yuan briefly mentioned the fact that he was drunk at the City God's Banquet and slept soundly for a month.

"Boss, here are two bowls of mutton stewed cakes, put more mutton and green onions in both bowls."

After finding a place to sit down with Chen Yuan, Chang Kongzi said with a painful face.

"Okay, the two priests wait a moment."

The boss laughed.

"Boss, why do we only see you busy every time we come here, where is your wife?"

When the boss was busy, seeing that there were not many customers in the store, Chen Yuan chatted with the boss.

"Hey, what a wife."

While the boss was making kang cakes in the iron pan, he didn't turn his head back.

"I was originally from Yuzhou Prefecture in Southwest Shu. I was a tenant farmer of a rich local family, including my parents. My family was too poor to marry a wife. When I was 15 years old, my family told me about a marriage. It was a neighbor who was older than me. Five years old, a widow whose husband died. Fortunately, although she is not beautiful, she is very virtuous. After getting married, she gave birth to a son for me, and she brought a daughter with her. Although our family is not rich, but barely survived."

"Who knew that just five years ago, there was a flood in my hometown. My old parents and the daughter she brought with me were all drowned in that flood. Later, rebels appeared there. After the imperial court ordered to quell the rebellion, they The war started, and in order to survive, our family had to flee south with the victims.”

"Along the way, we have encountered cannibalism by victims of the disaster, demons causing disasters, and soldiers and bandits who were defeated by the rebels blocking the way..."

"By the time we reached the boundary of Luzhou Mansion, my wife had already been eaten by demons, my son was killed by soldiers and bandits, and I was the only one who fled to Luzhou Mansion alive."

The owner of the stewed cake shop spoke in a flat tone about the hardships he had experienced.

"Fortunately, when I was fleeing, I secretly learned this pancake skill in Guanzhong. In addition, Taoist Chang Kongzi was willing to take it in, so I opened this pancake shop near Luxian Temple."

"Although it doesn't suit the taste of the locals, the business is barely passable."

While talking, the owner of the stewed cake shop cut up the stewed cakes, put them into a bowl filled with mutton soup, with a layer of oil floating on the surface, and sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions.

For a moment, Chen Yuan didn't know how to respond to the boss.

He was just asking casually, but he didn't expect that the owner of the pancake shop would have such an experience.

"Now that I'm older, I don't plan to get married anymore. How long can I live by guarding this shop?"

"After all, I came here from such a far away place, and suffered so much, just to survive. Now I have to live, right?"

"People, you have to live, don't you?"

While talking, the owner of the stewed cake shop brought two bowls of ready-made mutton stewed cakes to the tables of Chen Yuan and Chang Kongzi, and a burst of aroma came over them.

Chen Yuan didn't comfort the owner of the stewed cake shop, but after thinking about it, he only sent out a blessing:
"I hope that your life, boss, will get better and better and more prosperous."

In Chen Yuan's view, people are different, and some people are born to suffer in the next world.

For example, the owner of the pastry shop in front of me.

However, people are sometimes very fragile, and sometimes they are very strong.

Since the owner of the biscuit shop has opened a biscuit shop and is living a good life, it means that he has come out of the past tribulations and does not need the temporary comfort of others.

"Lend your blessings."

Chen Yuan's words immediately made the boss of the bakery shop laugh.

He parted his lips, revealing his own row of yellowish teeth, showing a hearty smile.

"Hurry up and eat, Taoist priest, the mutton stewed cake will not taste good when it gets cold."

Then the owner of the stew shop urged.

"it is good."

Chen Yuan, who hadn't come to eat this bite for many days, immediately started to eat it.

And when Chen Yuan was talking with the owner of the stewed cake shop, he felt sorry for the two big money just now, as if Chen Yuan wanted his old life for a long time.

At this time, his expression changed, and he was eating the stewed cake quietly, without disturbing the conversation between Chen Yuan and the owner of the stewed cake shop.

After Chen Yuan and the old Taoist Chang Kongzi finished eating the stewed cakes, the owner of the stewed cake shop still refused to take the money as always, but this time Chen Yuan did not drag Chang Kongzi away.

Instead, he snatched the two eldest sons from Chang Kongzi and stuffed them into the hands of the owner of the bakery.

"Boss, it's only natural to pay for meals. You don't want us to be unjust people, do you?"

Chen Yuan laughed.

Seeing what Chen Yuan said, the boss of the stewed cake shop had no choice but to accept two big money.

When Chen Yuan and Chang Kongzi walked out of the shop, the owner of the stewed cake shop was just about to throw two large coins into the wooden money box placed at the corner of the noodle rolling table.

The moment he stretched out his palm, he realized that the two big sons that the young Taoist priest had stuffed into his hands just now had turned into dazzling gold unconsciously.

"This this……"

The owner of the pastry shop was stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, the owner of the stewed cake shop reacted very quickly, and immediately took the two big boys who had turned into gold into his hands, and no one saw people passing by on both sides of the street.

"Fairy!"

After a long time, the owner of the stewed cake shop calmed down, and then he turned his eyes to the direction of Luxian Temple not far away, with a very complicated expression.

The young Taoist priest came to his shop and ate stewed cakes three times.

He has blind eyes, so he didn't recognize that it was a fairy in front of him.
