Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 37: Bang! One Punch

"You should have been to Yunshan Temple, right? What kind of Taoist temple is that?"

At this time, Chen Jin sat down leisurely, looking like he was ready to start the meal.

Chen Liang replied, "I've been there twice. The Taoist temple is built on Yunshan Mountain, surrounded by mist and clouds, which gives it a sense of transcendence. The Taoist name of the temple master is 'Yunshan Taoist', but he has been in seclusion for many years, cultivating immortality in a quiet room, and it is difficult for outsiders to see him."

Chen Jin asked again: "What position does someone like Taoist Chu hold in Yunshan Temple?"

Chen Liang thought for a moment and said, "Probably the deacon of the Taoist temple, responsible for foreign affairs and sales."

"How many people are there in the entire Taoist temple?"

"Including the Taoist children, there may be more than twenty people."

Chen Liang answered honestly.

Next, Chen Jin asked several more questions.

Chen Liang answered them one by one, frowning: "Ah Jin, why are you asking these questions?"

Chen Jin said: "I want to get to know this Taoist temple."

After a pause, he continued, "As the military book says: Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

Chen Liang: "..."

Why are we talking about military books again?

You speak in a very serious and earnest manner, but you are just a weak scholar.

I couldn't help but say, "Ah Jin, it seems that you haven't realized the seriousness of the matter. Even if you know the situation of Yunshan Temple, what's the use? The immortals of Yunshan Temple don't know you."

Chen Jin said calmly: "They will know me soon... No more talking, pick up your chopsticks, the food and wine are getting cold."

Chen Liang looked puzzled, not knowing what to say.

After dinner, Chen Jin first went to his uncle's house to let everyone know that he was safe and sound, and then returned to his home on the hillside.

Watching him leave, Chen Abu and his wife were filled with worry. From what they had seen and heard, most of the strange stories in the countryside followed the same pattern: "When the immortals send punishment, it will most likely appear in the middle of the night."

However, Chen Min has great confidence in Chen Jin, believing that his brother is "smart and upright" and that no ghosts or gods can harm him.

Chen Liang was in the hall, staring blankly at the table full of leftovers. He was thirty years old, had a decent family background, was good at socializing, and was considered a knowledgeable person, but he had no idea what was wrong with Chen Jin.

It is said that Chen Jin is a person who has read so much that he has become stupid and dazed, but his words and actions are orderly and he is extremely calm and composed;
But if you say that he is a man who knows how to advance and retreat, why is he so rash as to go against Taoist Chu?

It's very puzzling.

After a while, Chen Jiande and Chen Guang came back, both looking depressed.

The eldest brother Chen Guang immediately complained, "Second brother, look at what you have done. Everyone in the village knows Chen Shuchi's character. He is just a fool and has no sense of propriety. But you are so nosy that you brought him home. Now you have offended Master Chu to death, and our family will be implicated as well."

Chen Liang said, "How could I know he would be like this... But then again, what Jin said is not without reason. Maybe it's because of this family god."

As he spoke, he walked over and looked at the toad god in the shrine.

When I met those bulging wooden eyes, I felt an inexplicable chill in my heart.

I don’t know why, but now when I look at this god, no matter how I look at it, it seems wrong.

Especially the bumps on the head, which look like pustules and make people feel uncomfortable.

Chen Guang said dissatisfiedly: "Even if there is a problem with the family god, in the end, don't we still have to ask Taoist Chu to solve it? Can we count on that kid Chen Jin?"

Chen Liang argued, "At least, Jin was very insightful and pointed out the crux of the problem. This is a great favor to our family. There is nothing wrong with what he did."

"Don't argue."

Chen Jiande slammed the table and said, "The house is already a mess, and you brothers are still quarreling. What's the point of that?"

He was known for his majesty, and his two sons did not dare to argue with him anymore.

Chen Jiande's eyes flickered. "In the past, I thought Chen Jin was just a stubborn person who loved to study. Even if he passed the imperial examination, he would be squeezed out of the official career with his character. But today, I see that he speaks clearly and logically. He is not afraid of the Taoist priest. I underestimated him."

Chen Guang said unconvincedly: "In my opinion, he is just ignorant and fearless, a crazy person." "What do you know?"

Chen Jiande scolded, "Do you think it's so easy to be a madman? Tonight is a critical time point. As long as he gets through tonight safely, it means that he has real ability. Haha, a smart and upright person can become a god. This statement is very fresh. Ah Liang, you have read books for so many years, but you have only learned a little bit of cleverness."

"Ashamed."

Chen Liang had no objection to his father's criticism.

Chen Jiande's tone changed again, and he said earnestly: "But in fact, for people like us, being a little smart is enough. If you are too smart, you will die early."

"Remember my father's teachings."

Chen Liang's attitude was solemn, but in his heart, he was secretly worried about Chen Jin.

For many things and many truths, saying them is one thing, but being able to actually do them is another.

……

On a winter night, the north wind was howling, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was about to snow.

Something happened tonight, so Wangcai and Laolang were sent to the mountains.

In the small hall, a small red clay stove was cooking porridge.

Pheasant porridge.

In such a night scene, it would be more suitable to brew some wine.

However, it is difficult to buy good wine. The wine on the market is muddy and has many impurities. Drinking it will not only not provide much benefit, but also harm the body.

Chen Jin was too lazy to do it.

Since entering the second realm, the quality requirements for daily diet have increased.

If you eat well, your practice will be more efficient.

The next realm is the third realm.

In the twelve realms, every "three" will be a critical node. As long as you pass the "three", you will be promoted to a major stage, which will make your cultivation leap forward.

In this regard, Chen Jin does not have an urgent sense of upgrading, but prefers to proceed steadily and try to lay a solid foundation.

After all, this body has very poor foundation.

It is during the process of cultivation that we can comprehensively check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps, making steady progress.

At the same time, you can also use the identity of a scholar to get to know this seemingly new world.

And let the world know him too!

Tuk-tuk-tuk!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which was very harsh in the quiet night.

Chen Jin stood up, walked over and opened the door.

A gust of night wind blew in, lifting the long hair and loose dress of the young woman standing outside the door.

There is a sudden spring light, and the mountains are faintly visible.

At this moment, people's curiosity to explore the mysteries can be aroused.

The woman was panting, as if she was being chased by something. Her face was terrified, and tears flashed in her eyes, which made her look even more pitiful.

"Sir, there is a wolf that wants to eat me. Please take me in..."

When the sandalwood mouth opens and closes, an enchanting fragrance wafts to your face, which is the most bewitching.

But the next moment, there was a loud "bang".

A punch was thrown, hitting the charming face squarely.

In an instant, the fair nose and the fair snow flew together, and the cherry and peach blossoms were the same color...
