Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 38: Master, please save me (please collect and read)
(This is a critical week, readers and book friends saved me...)
Snowflakes were falling, making rustling sounds.

In the woods, on a blue stone, a man was sitting.

He was wearing a thick black raincoat and a wide black hat, which covered him up tightly, both to keep out the cold and to hide his identity.

After all, Yunshan Temple is a formal Taoist temple registered with the imperial government. When doing things, one cannot be too unscrupulous, lest it ruin its reputation.

What's more, the other party was a scholar who had passed the examination for becoming a Tongsheng.

However, Chen Jin made rude remarks and slandered the Taoist priest of the Immortal Sect, so he must be punished.

There is no need to take his life, just to bring disgrace upon him.

For a scholar, losing his reputation is more painful than being killed.

As for the matter of reputation, it can only be summed up in one word:

color!
How many heroes, how many officials, how many gentlemen, when the time comes, all fail because of this word.

The word "sex" is like a knife hanging over your head that can kill people without you even realizing it.

The man in black was confident about his move tonight:
Origami can create a human being and control one's thoughts, which can be regarded as an excellent skill.

Originally, he couldn't do it with his ability.

The paper figure was given to him by the temple master as a reward because he saw that he was efficient and diligent and had earned a lot of money for the temple.

After he got it, he felt like he had found a treasure and lovingly named it "Waniang".

Sometimes when I go to bed at night, I can't help but manifest myself to get through the long, sleepless night.

The feeling is even more enjoyable than going to Qinghua Tower to find Miss A Xiang.

It is really delicious.

Faced with such a delicate girl, the man in black didn't believe that Chen Jin could control himself.

Even if he is really a nerd and can remain calm in the face of temptation, there are more powerful tricks in his magic.

It was the same breath that gushed out from the girl's mouth as she spoke.

It has a name, called "Fairy Licking".

What this means is that if you fall for this trick, even immortals will be bewitched and will lick your boots.

Using this trick to deal with a weak scholar is a sure win and there will be no problem at all.

The man in black looked relaxed and ready to watch the joke.

Suddenly, his heart was shaken, he stood up suddenly, and shouted: "What?"

The cry was so loud that it echoed through the woods.

"This, how is this possible?"

"No, my dear!"

In an instant, the man in black seemed to have lost his beloved woman. He was panicked, angry, and full of doubts.

"Ouch!"

With a low growl, an old wolf suddenly jumped out from behind the tree, opened its big mouth, and bit his left thigh hard.

The man in black felt pain, shock and anger, and was about to raise his hand to hit.

Another black shadow swooped down from the sky and bit his hand with its sharp teeth.

The bite was so hard that it almost cut his hand off.

"Oh no, we were attacked by a pack of wolves..."

The man in black immediately wondered, "Why is this wolf so ferocious?"

Before he could struggle and resist, the dog that was biting his hand suddenly tensed its hind legs and kicked him hard in the face.

Then there was a "sizzling" sound, and an unknown liquid with a foul smell sprayed over his head.

"Yellow dog pees?"

At the moment of fainting, this ridiculous word flashed through the black-clad man's mind.

……

He woke up and felt cold all over, as if he was in a world of ice and snow. Not "as if", but really.

The place where he lay was on the snow in the forest.

His bamboo hat was gone, and his thick raincoat had been taken off. He was left with only a single piece of clothing, revealing his fat belly, and he was shivering with cold.

Besides the cold, there is pain.

Heartbreaking pain.

Wrists, thighs, and face...

He struggled to get up but couldn't. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the girl lying there in a state of loss of spirit not far away.

A bald-tailed dog was gnawing at its body, destroying it beyond recognition.

Seeing this, he felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

Whenever I am with the baby, I always take good care of it, fearing that I might damage its delicate skin.

But now, the girl was kicked by an ugly dog...

"Master Chu, is this what you call the punishment from the immortals?"

A cold voice came.

Taoist Chu couldn't help but shudder, and looked up with great effort, and finally saw Chen Jin.

Chen Jin was holding an oil-paper umbrella, standing on the bluestone, with snowflakes falling all around him. He looked quite free and unrestrained.

At this time, Taoist Chu could no longer care about the girl. His own situation was much more pitiful than the girl's. He asked tremblingly, "You, who are you?"

"I am just a scholar."

"No, you are not."

Taoist Chu said in horror: "You can't kill me. If you kill me, the temple master will not let you go."

He could never have imagined that coming to Chenze Township to sell peach charms would actually result in him offending such a terrifying and ruthless person.

It's totally illogical and unreasonable.

Chen Jin smiled and said, "It seems that you have great confidence in your master."

"Of course, the master of the temple is a true man of virtue."

"In that case, you are a fake Taoist priest who is cheating people."

Taoist Chu said hurriedly: "No, I am a true Taoist priest, holding a certificate of ordination, and I am registered, but I have not yet been formally ordained."

"Without any training, you dare to help others summon the household gods?"

"It was Chen Jiande and his son who came to me and begged me hard. They offered me a lot, so I couldn't refuse. But something went wrong. Give me some time. Even if I have to beg the temple master for help, I will definitely get this done."

Chen Jin sneered: "What about selling fake peach charms? Is it because you can make a lot of money? You really dare to make money from anything."

Taoist Chu defended himself, "The villagers always want good luck during the New Year and other festivals."

Chen Jin sneered, "That's true, but we seek good luck in order to ensure safety. You raise the price every year, and even cheat people. Not only do the villagers not have safety, but they are also exploited and plundered. Is this justifiable?"

Taoist Chu said sadly, "Every year, there are only a few peach charms blessed by the temple master, and they are all bought by the rich and powerful people in the city at high prices. When I go to the countryside, there are no charms to sell, so I can only cut down peach wood and make a batch myself to meet the needs of the villagers."

Chen Jin laughed when he heard this: "According to you, it's all someone else's fault?"

Taoist Chu rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I am wrong, but not to the point of death. You are a scholar, so you must be reasonable. Otherwise, you wouldn't talk to me so much."

Chen Jin said calmly: "You misunderstood. I am not talking to you to reason with you, but I am reasoning with myself."

"Reason with yourself?"

Taoist Chu was stunned.

Does a person need to reason with himself when doing things?
But Chen Jin said nothing more, holding an umbrella, he left.

Immediately, Taoist Chu's howling voice came from behind: "Master, save me, Master..."

Soon the sound died down.
