People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 123 Once a real person comes to become an immortal; Lu Zu paints a crane to repay his kindness!

After all, it's rare for a cultivator to see him drink so much?
But this person looks like a master of Taoism from his demeanor and appearance.

Everyone was suspicious and couldn't help whispering and discussing.

Lu Dongbin didn't care about this.

After waiting for half a candle, the waiter from before brought several plates of delicious dishes, put them on the table, and said:

"Daozhang, please use it slowly."

Seeing this, Lu Dongbin nodded slightly.

Immediately, they feasted and ate.

He poured the wine and drank it himself, looking at the green and white snails in the Dongting, he was quite happy.

After drinking and eating, Lu Dongbin paid the money and walked to the bank of Dongting Lake.

Previously on the Yueyang Tower, I didn't realize that the water waves were mighty, and I really wanted to come down. When the blue waves surged, there was a boundless wave, and the scene of thick and muddy water and sky was magnificent.

Lu Dongbin was standing on the bank, watching, suddenly he felt sleepy, making it difficult for him to stand up.

Lu Dongbin thought that he was not drunk, but the image in front of his eyes was real and illusory, hard to tell.

Not long after, he staggered towards an old tree by the Dongting Lake.

When he got there, he fell drunk on the old tree.

……

"Shangxian."

When Lu Dongbin was in a daze, he was sleeping soundly, but there was a call in his ear.

Involuntarily, Lu Dongbin opened his eyes.

Looking around, I found myself sleeping on a green canopy. Looking carefully, it was a canopy woven by thousands of willows.

"This?!"

Seeing this situation, Lu Dongbin was stunned.

After a while, he had suddenly realized.

He stood up and asked:
"Who led the poor to come here?"

Lu Dongbin knew that with the cultivation base of a real person nowadays, even if he didn't use any magic power, he wouldn't get drunk after drinking two or three jars of wine.

Among them, there must be something strange.

As soon as the words fell, a puff of white smoke gushed out from the green canopy.

An old man with white hair and childlike face walked out of it, saluted Lu Dongbin and said:

"Shangxian, don't be upset."

"Forgive me for being bold, and bring real people here."

Seeing this person, Lu Dongbin was quite startled.

Even he can't tell the depth of the old man in front of him.

"Who is the old man, and what is the so-called reason for bringing the poor to come here?"

Lu Dongbin frowned and tried to speak.

"To tell you the truth, the old man is a willow tree that has become a spirit. He has practiced Taoism for more than a thousand years. A few days ago, I was instructed by the Dragon Lord of Dongting to let me wait here for a great man so that he can save the old man and become a fairy."

The old man spoke respectfully to Lu Dongbin.

"Oh, could it be that the immortal in Dongting Dragon Lord's mouth is a poor Taoist?"

Hearing this, Lu Dongbin was surprised and had some self-doubt.

After the words fell, he couldn't laugh or cry and said:

"Don't be joking, old man. The poor Taoist has not yet become a fairy, so I don't think he is the one to save you."

"No, the Shangxian has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and his expression is very different from that of ordinary people. The words of the Dragon King cannot be false."

Hearing this, the old man shook his head with a look of conviction.

"This……"

Lu Dongbin was taken aback.

Thinking of Master Yushan's words that day, he became more enlightened.

Immediately, he looked at the eyes of the old man again, and asked seriously:
"Then Dongting Dragon Lord, how can I save you?"

"not at all……"

The old man sighed.

"Then how can the poor save you?"

In this regard, Lu Dongbin felt helpless.

After thinking about it for a while, he took off the scarf on his head and said to the old man:

"If Pindao is really the one who saves you, you can put on this scarf and say three times of Laojun Baogao, and you will be able to ascend into the sky."

Say it.

The old man hastily took the dharma scarf and put it on his head, calmly, and recited:

"Ceremony of conversion with sincerity, setting up teachings according to the direction, saving people through calamities... holding yin and yang with words, ordering thunder to use the number of nine to five. Great compassion and great vows, great sage and great mercy, the Supreme Laojun, the moral heavenly respect."

So and so, say it three times.

The old man suddenly felt his body lighten, and after a while, his body was glowing with clouds, and auspicious clouds formed under his feet.

Looking at this posture, it seems to be going away with the wind.

Seeing this situation, Lu Dongbin stared blankly, quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, the person who was transformed by the old man turned out to be himself!

"Thank you for your kindness!"

When the old man was about to fly away, he was full of smiles and excited.

Afterwards, he hurriedly took down the scarf and presented it to Lu Dongbin.

"Just follow the trend, no thanks."

After Lu Dongbin put on the scarf, he smiled slightly at the old man.

"There is one more thing, maybe I have to trouble Shangxian."

"I have previously received a lot of kindness from the Xin Family Winery, but now I have become an immortal in a hurry, and I have not been able to repay it. If the Immortal is free, please trouble the Immortal to end this karma for the old."

The old man begged.

"It's okay, Pindao will take action."

Lu Dongbin agreed without hesitation.

After all, he was able to save this old tree demon from becoming a fairy, which is also considered to be a lot of fate with him.

"Thank you Shangxian."

The old man bowed respectfully to Lu Dongbin, and his figure also rose higher and wider under the support of the auspicious cloud.

In less than a few breaths, he entered above Qingming.

After the old tree demon became a fairy, Lu Dongbin came back to his senses and found himself lying drunk on the old tree.

Thinking of the old tree demon's entrustment before leaving, Lu Dongbin got up and wanted to find the Xin's restaurant.

As a result, before they left the Dongting Lake, they saw the Xin Family Restaurant not far away.

For this reason, he laughed loudly and walked quickly.

……

The Xin Family Restaurant was opened by a couple.

The Naxin couple treat others generously and are willing to do good.

The wine sold is also innocent and the price is fair.

Although there are a lot of diners and tourists who come to Xin's restaurant every day, the couple are not rich, just enough to survive.

When Lu Dongbin came to Xin's restaurant, he didn't hesitate to choose an empty table, and then shouted to the back hall:
"Shopkeeper, serve the wine!"

After speaking, a man came out. He was dressed in brown clothes, with broad brows and a square face, with a simple and honest look.

This person, named Xin Gui, is the owner of this restaurant.

"The Taoist priest, and later."

"Let me make a pot for you."

Xin Gui smiled at Lu Dongbin, and brought over a jug of fine wine.

"Cook some more side dishes."

Lu Dongbin gave another casual order.

In this regard, Xin Gui went to the back kitchen and informed her daughter-in-law.

Na Xin's hands were also quick, and within a short while, he cooked several small dishes and brought them up.

Lu Dongbin tasted a few mouthfuls. Although the taste is not as good as the previous one, it is fresh and the dishes are quite plentiful.

With fine wine, Lu Dongbin ate for half an hour.

After he finished eating, he didn't pay the bill, and walked out of the restaurant swaggeringly.

"Exit!"

"Where are you going?"

"The sky is so bright and the sun is so bright, if you want to eat free food, you can't do it. Hurry up and pay the shopkeeper!"

"Shopkeeper, the Taoist priest slipped away without paying the money, hurry up and chase him back!"

"..."

at the same time.

Seeing this, the diners who were still in the Xin's restaurant couldn't help but speak up.

Some people had already stood up and stopped Lu Dongbin.

Someone hastily told Xin Gui about it.

Being stopped, Lu Dongbin was not annoyed and didn't leave, but just sat back at the original table.

At that time, Xin Gui also came out from the back hall, and after finding out the situation, he was not angry, but asked Lu Dongbin kindly:

"Daozhang, have you encountered any difficulties recently?"

Hearing this, Lu Dongbin made up nonsense:

"To tell you the truth, before the poor Taoist came here, he encountered a villain and lost all his money."

As soon as this word comes out.

This provoked a voice of condemnation from the crowd:
"What a shameless Taoist priest, he came here to eat free food without money, isn't it just a sign that the store is easy to bully?"

"Shopkeeper, you should arrest this person and report to the police."

"It can be seen that the clothes on this Taoist priest are worth some silver coins, and the store can pawn them off."

"..."

Of course, there are also people who give advice to Xin Gui.

You know, this Xin's restaurant is located in the Yueyang Tower, and it is famous for its kindness and generosity.

In the usual hot summer season, if you are thirsty, you can come to the restaurant to drink a bowl of herbal tea.

In the middle of winter, you can also drink a bowl of hot soup.

Whether it is herbal tea or hot soup, there is no charge for it.

When the people nearby learned of the kindness of the Xin couple, they naturally respected them.

Unexpectedly, the chief took the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole today, so it's no wonder that he provoked public anger.

"Since Taoist priests are inconvenient, I won't charge any money."

"If you don't have a place to eat in the future, you can come to my place to have a meal."

After learning about Lu Dongbin's predicament, Na Xingui did not make things difficult for him, but persuaded him kindly.

"Then thank you for your kindness."

For this, Lu Dongbin Jishou thanked him.

After finishing speaking, he walked straight out of Xin's Restaurant.

Seeing the store like this, everyone sighed helplessly:
"Shopkeeper Xin, you are too kind. That Taoist priest is here to eat free food. Why should he be convenient to such a villain?"

"If the priest hadn't been extremely hungry, he wouldn't have come to me."

Xin Gui and the others laughed and said that they didn't take this matter to heart.

Although Lu Dongbin had already walked out of Xin's Winery, with his cultivation, he could naturally hear this.

For this reason, he thought to himself:
"The Xin couple are indeed as magnanimous as the rumors say, let the poor man try for a few more days."

Right now, Lu Dongbin is not in a hurry to leave Yueyang City, and is going to test the Xin couple for a few days.

After all, in order to learn from his master, the latter tried ten times!

……

The next day, at noon.

Lu Dongbin came to this Xin's restaurant again.

He still asked for a jug of fine wine and a few small dishes.

After drinking and eating, he still didn't pay the bill like yesterday, so he turned and left.

In this regard, the Xin couple did not say much.

On the third day, Lu Dongbin did the same, and came to Xin's Restaurant for a free meal.

When I left, I still didn't pay for the meal.

the other side.

The news that Lu Dongbin ate and drank for free at Xin's restaurant three times in a row gradually spread in the city.

"I've never seen such a shameless person. The store owner Naxin is kind. Thinking that the Taoist's money was robbed by the robbers, it was the first time he reneged on his debt. It was convenient for him."

"I didn't expect this Taoist leader to be so shameless. He would eat free food for three days in a row. Isn't this obviously deceiving?"

"..."

After the people in the city heard about this incident, they all complained about the injustice for the Xin couple and scolded Nalu Dongbin.

At this moment, someone stood up and said that the Taoist paid for the meal at an inn in Yueyang Tower.

As soon as the incident came out, more and more people came forward to testify, saying that they witnessed it with their own eyes and that it did happen.

This time, it is true that Lu Dongbin bullied Xin's restaurant.

All of a sudden, Lu Dongbin was like Yueyang City's notoriety.

"Shopkeeper Xin, don't be stupid, that Taoist priest must have silver taels on him, and he refused to give money just because he deceived you because of his kindness."

"Listen to me, when he comes again tomorrow, let's arrest him directly and send him to the officials for strict punishment!"

"You can't be soft-hearted when dealing with such rascals!"

"..."

is the day.

In this Xin's restaurant, many people gathered.

Most of them are neighbors nearby.

Seeing that the Xin family was being bullied, these people naturally wanted to stand up and help.

"Everyone, there is no need to persuade me any more."

"The Daoist may also have difficulties. I see that he is not a shameless treacherous person. Maybe he has encountered trouble recently."

Hearing everyone's persuasion, Xin Gui shook his head and argued.

"Sister-in-law, tell me about Shopkeeper Xin, isn't he just pretending to be confused?"

A neighbor couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but look at the woman beside him, annoyed that she didn't argue.

"Follow you, Brother Xin."

Hearing this, the woman glanced at Xin Gui, but she didn't scold her, instead she gave her extremely virtuous support.

This time, everyone didn't fold.

He could only secretly scold Lu Dongbin for being opportunistic, bullying the good and fearing the evil.

But said.

No matter what the people in Yueyang City thought of him, he still came to Xin's Restaurant on the fourth day as usual.

After eating and cleaning up, he walked out swaggeringly.

He didn't even open his mouth to withdraw money.

Seeing this scene, the passers-by and diners in the shop could scold Lu Dongbin enough.

Regarding this, Lu Dongbin did not change his face, and still went his own way.

In less than five days, the matter reached the ears of the local county magistrate.

Someone asked the county magistrate to arrest the Taoist and deal with it severely.

But the county magistrate is powerless about this.

The so-called people don't raise officials and don't investigate, then the Xin couple didn't pursue this matter, if he took care of it, wouldn't it be unnecessary.

Under various circumstances, Lu Dongbin almost "at large" for more than half a month.

Every time I go to Xin's Restaurant, I will attract many people to watch.

Most of them were pointing and pointing at him, making constant criticisms.

On this day, Lu Dongbin thought to himself that the time had come, so he came to Xin's Restaurant again.

As expected, the restaurant is crowded with people now, and the people in the city want to see this shameless Taoist.

But Lu Dongbin ignored it and went up to the second floor on his own.

A few days ago, he was unbearably disturbed on the first floor, so he had to move to the second floor, which was much cleaner.

This time, Lu Dongbin ordered a jug of fine wine and a few small dishes as usual.

After eating and drinking, he did not leave in a hurry, but called the Xin couple.

"Please send some oranges to the owner and Pindao."

He said to the two.

The Xin couple thought that Lu Dongbin called them to pay the bill, but unexpectedly they wanted oranges.

Although the two were puzzled by this, they thought that the oranges were not worth much, so they went to the back kitchen, took a few and handed them to Lu Dongbin.

After Lu Dongbin took the oranges, he just peeled a pile of oranges and didn't eat them.

He took the orange peel and walked alone to the white wall facing Dongting Lake on the second floor.

Seeing this, the Xin couple were at a loss and asked quickly:

"Master Dao, what is this?"

When the words fell, Lu Dongbin didn't answer.

It's just that, using the orange peel, he quickly painted on the white wall.

In the blink of an eye, a lifelike yellow crane leaped onto the wall.

This yellow crane is about the size of a red-crowned crane, with an elegant body, distinct feathers, and slender feet.

At first glance, it seems that there is really a crane living on the wall.

the other side.

On the second floor, some diners were surprised to see that this Taoist could draw such a charming crane.

Not to mention, it was still painted with orange peels, and the charm was so vivid to the extreme.
