I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 20 People who die young
  After saving the old woman's soul, Wang Ying woke up soon after.

However, due to the loss of a lot of yang energy, it will take several months to fully recover.

But this is already a blessing among misfortunes for Wang Ying. Wang Liu's family is naturally grateful and grateful.

Leaving Wang Liu's house and heading to the village entrance, although he knew that the law should not be passed lightly, after seeing Liu Laodao's superb talisman skills, Chen Yan couldn't help but ask:
  "Daozhang Liu..."

The old Taoist glanced at Chen Yan warily, took half a step back, and said rather warily:

"To show your courtesy for nothing, you are either a traitor or a thief. Why do you call me so friendly? Let me make it clear first, I don't have a penny now."

"I'm not looking for a silver reward from you."

Chen Yan had black lines all over his head, then he smiled shyly and asked shyly:
  "Liu Laodao, do you think I have any talent for cultivation?"

"Practice? You?"

When Liu Laodao heard this, he glanced sideways at Chen Yan up and down, and let out a reluctant snort from his nose:

"Barely."

"Ahem, what's that..." Chen Yan looked happy, took two steps forward, and said tactfully: "Does Mr. Liu accept a disciple?"

Such a shy and coy posture aroused a look of disdain from Fa Cai on the side.

"Accept you as a disciple?"

This time Liu Laodao understood.

"Yes, how is it?"

Chen Yan looked expectant.

Although Liu Laodao is unkempt, he has real abilities. Learning his skills from Liu Laodao is definitely a matter of great benefit and no harm.

Unexpectedly, Liu Laodao shook his head like a rattle:

"No, no, no, no..."

"why?"

Liu Laodao said with a serious face: "You are so unlucky, Lao Dao. I am worried that you will die on the street the day after I accept you as my disciple. Lao Dao, I still have a lot of youth, and I want to live for two more years."

Chen Yan rolled his eyes, turned around and left with a dark face.

"Hey, hey, don't leave in a hurry! You young man, you really can't take any jokes..."

After joking all the way, we arrived at the village head. From a distance, we could see that the village head was filled with people in circles.

Looking around, it seems that all the villagers in Tianmen Village have come out.

Chen Yan and Liu Laodao looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

What's happening here?
  Fortunately, Zhao Gang had been waiting at the head of the village for a long time. When he saw Chen Yan returning, he immediately walked up to him and saluted the old man:

"Master Liu."

The old Taoist nodded, pointed to the crowd at the head of the village, and asked puzzledly:
  "What are you doing?"

Zhao Gang explained: "Oh, that's what happened. Master Zhang of Baiyunguan heard about what happened in Tianmen Village, and specially led a group of Baiyunguan disciples to come and perform exorcisms for the villagers of Tianmen Village for free."

"Singing a few bad songs to mobilize the troops and mobilize the crowd, why don't you see me exorcising ghosts and subduing demons like this?"

After hearing this, Liu Laodao couldn't help but said something in a sour tone.

Chen Yan, who was shouting at the side, rolled his eyes: "I am a well-known great mage in Shanxi Town, a great good man, what kind of reputation do you, a shabby old Taoist, have?"

Liu Laodao was like a cat that had its tail stepped on, and said angrily:

"That's because you don't have access to the reputation of Lao Tao. Otherwise, if you go to the Tao and ask around, who hasn't heard of my name, Lao Tao!"

"What's your name?" Chen Yan squinted.

Liu Laodao choked, suppressed his blush, and said angrily: "Anyway, you can't reach me. If I'm not an old Taoist, I'm not as good as Zhang Guanzhu."

"Yes, yes, you are right." Chen Yan shrugged, suppressing a smile on his face.

The old man was so angry that he was about to have a fit when he heard a kind greeting from behind him. “Blessings are immeasurable, layman Chen. I haven’t seen you for a few days. I hope you are well.”

Turning around, I saw a Taoist with crane-haired face and fairy-like appearance standing behind everyone with a smile. Who else could it be, Zhang Yuanlin from Baiyun Temple?
  But Zhang Yuanlin was seen holding a whisk in his right hand and resting on his left arm, followed by two Taoist boys, wearing silk and satin Taoist robes with fluttering belts. Compared with Liu Laodao, who was unkempt and covered in oil, he was like heaven and earth.

Seeing Zhang Yuanlin salute, Chen Yan immediately returned the salute, cupped his hands and said:
  "Guanzhu Zhang is fine."

On his shoulder, Fa Cai, who had been napping, woke up immediately when he heard Zhang Yuanlin's voice. However, unlike the last time when he was full of aggression, this time Fa Cai just stared at Zhang Yuanlin warily.

Zhang Yuanlin didn't care and asked with a smile:
  "How has Master Chen considered Pindao's last proposal?"

Chen Yan knew that Zhang Yuanlin was talking about making a fortune through buying, so of course he would not agree and still shook his head:

"Guanzhu Zhang should give up on this idea. I won't sell it to get rich."

"That's a pity."

Zhang Yuanlin glanced at Facai reluctantly, shook his head regretfully, and then finally noticed Liu Laodao next to Chen Yan who was hostile to him, and couldn't help but ask:
  "Who is this……"

"This is Liu Fujing, Daochang Liu."

Chen Yan gave an introduction.

"Blessings are immeasurable. It turns out that it was Taoist Master Liu who met the Taoist fellow Taoist Zhang Yuanlin."

Zhang Yuanlin looked stunned, then hugged the fly whisk with both hands and saluted politely.

However, Liu Laodao stared straight at Zhang Yuanlin's face with his eyes, and there was no response for a long time.

Seeing this, Chen Yan couldn't help but threw his hands in embarrassment:
  "Daochang Liu has such a weird temper, please Guanzhu Zhang not to pay attention."

Zhang Yuanlin smiled casually and said, "It's okay. I still have religious matters to do, so I'll go ahead."

"Guanzhang Zhang invites you."

It wasn't until Zhang Yuanlin's figure disappeared from everyone's sight that Liu Laodao said:
  "Weird things, weird things...weird things happen every year, especially this year..."

"You can't be jealous of other people's reputations and plan to say bad things about others secretly." Chen Yan said contemptuously.

Liu Laodao rolled his eyes after hearing this:

"Is this the kind of person I am?"

"You are."

The old Taoist was angry: "The strange thing I mentioned, Old Taoist, is the appearance of this person."

"Facial appearance?" Chen Yan was confused: "What's wrong with the facial appearance?"

Liu Laodao frowned, looked at the direction Zhang Yuanlin was leaving, and said doubtfully: "Old Taoist, this person's face clearly shows that his life is over, but he looks like he is alive and well, and his vitality is more vigorous than yours. It's really strangeness……"

"Is it possible that you saw it wrong?"

This time Liu Laodao did not speak harshly, but nodded and said seriously:
  "It's also possible that six-line divination is not something experienced people are good at. It's not impossible to be mistaken. Moreover, there are many variables in numerology. Maybe this person has other karma and fate."

Chen Yan nodded as if he understood, and then couldn't help but ask: "You said there are a lot of weird things, what other weird things are there?"

Liu Laodao glanced at Chen Yan: "Lao Dao, I think you are also a person who will die young. You are still alive and well."

Chen Yan rolled his eyes and glared angrily:
  "You should have died earlier!"

After saying that, my heart couldn't help but move.

because……

Strictly speaking, he really died early. After all, the real Chen Yan was indeed dead. He was the Chen Yan who traveled through time in later generations.

If Liu Laodao's facial recognition is correct, then what's going on with Zhang Yuanlin's facial appearance?

Could it be that Zhang Yuanlin, like him, is also a time traveler?

After thinking for a long time, Chen Yan shook his head, but kept the matter in mind.
