Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 63: Distinguished Guests

By observing the mountains and the air, you can know that the place is excellent.

In places like this, there are basically good products.

So at the beginning, Chen Jin's main goal was not to bring Chen Min to become his disciple. For him, he came for Yunshan.

Of all the local products, the old peach tree alone is the best in Yunshan. Many wealthy families flock to it just to get a real peach charm.

However, Chen Jin's requirements were higher, and the peach charms were of little use to him.

The Earthly Evil Fire Spring is different.

The thirty-six Tiangang and the seventy-two Disha are the forbidden numbers in the laws of heaven and earth, and can be called "divine objects".

Although Yunshan's Earthly Evil Fire Spring is most likely incomplete, even if only one branch is left, it is still very rare.

If we can collect it and refine the magic within it, it will be of great use.

This is really a pleasant surprise.

Chen Jin was not worried that the master of Yunshan Temple was fishing. The situation on the other party could not be faked. Moreover, after feeling it up close, he could feel that the anger in his mind did contain the meaning of the Earthly Evil Fire.

Of course, Chen Jin would not rush up the mountain immediately, but would continue to talk with the master of Yunshan Temple to learn more about the information on the mountain.

After about an hour, everything that needed to be said was basically said, and the head of Yunshan Temple asked, "Mr. Chen, can you give a clear explanation for leaving your sister on the mountain?"

Chen Jin smiled and said, "No big deal. I just want her to go up the mountain to learn from a master and see if she can learn some skills. I'm not suitable to teach her."

The head of Yunshan Temple was silent for a while. "In that case, I will let Aning teach her. I have observed before that your sister may have average talent, but her character is good. You can lay a foundation for her first."

Chen Jin said directly: "Since I brought her here to become my disciple, after she enters the sect, how to teach her is entirely up to the temple master, and I will not interfere."

"Well."

The master of the temple couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Chen Jin was surprised when he brought his men to Yunshan suddenly, but he was also a little nervous as he couldn't figure out what the other party was going to do.

In the final analysis, it was the defeat he suffered in the initial fight with Chen Jin that dealt him a heavy blow.

Faced with such a master with a mysterious origin and unknown background, everyone would be on guard, lest they accidentally lose their property or even their life.

But on second thought, if Chen Jin is really that powerful, no matter how cautious I am, it will be useless. I might as well tell him the truth.

After a conversation, the temple master was finally relieved: this Mr. Chen is indeed a reasonable man, not the kind of vicious person who is moody and treats people like ants.

Who knows, this may be a rare opportunity for myself and the Taoist temple.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jin changed his tone and said, "Master, my sister wants to become your disciple because she wants to learn skills. She doesn't want to learn those messy ways of defrauding ordinary people."

The temple master's heart skipped a beat, and he said hurriedly, "Alas, this is all my fault. I was obsessed with cultivation, and something went wrong. I couldn't take care of the temple's affairs, so I handed them over to my eldest disciple Yun Cheng to manage. My eldest disciple is a good person, and he wants to expand the temple, so he has a lot of social contacts and recruited many Taoists to work, which makes the good and the bad mixed, and there are Taoist scums like Taoist Chu. The last time I came back, I ordered Yun Cheng to conduct a self-examination and not to let anyone use the name of the temple to bully and cheat people outside."

Chen Jin nodded: "When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. But when I encounter this situation, I don't want to stand by and watch, I have to fight."

"I understand. When I was young, I hated evil and could not tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes."

After the conversation, Chen Jin came out and saw Yunshan Temple's two male disciples, Yun Cheng and Yun Yi, standing respectfully in the yard waiting.

Yun Ning and Chen Min were whispering on the other side, laughing from time to time, and they seemed to be getting along very well.

Seeing Chen Jin stepping out, Yun Cheng and Yun Yi looked at him in surprise.

Could it be that this person was also accepted as a disciple by the master?
But he didn't look like that. Yun Ning came over and introduced, "This is Master Chen Jin, Xiao Min's cousin."

Yun Cheng was over fifty years old, mature and steady, so he bowed his head as a greeting.

Yun Yi was much younger, only in his early thirties. He blinked his eyes and asked directly, "Mr. Chen, I see that you are handsome and talented. Why doesn't Master accept you as his disciple?"

Yun Ning hurriedly said, "Second Senior Brother, Master Chen is a scholar who is going to take the imperial examination. How could he become a monk to study Taoism?"

In order to avoid leaving a bad impression of gossiping, Yunshan Temple Master and Yun Ning kept their mouths shut about Chen Jin's situation and did not tell anyone about it. Yun Cheng and Yun Yi were also unaware of it.

Taoist Yun Yi said in a clear voice: "Studying for a degree is not as good as cultivating immortality and seeking the Tao. Master Chen, why don't you take me as your master and seek the Tao together?"

Chen Jin: “…”

Yun Ning: “…”

The lantern hanging under the lintel of the inner courtyard suddenly lit up, and the curse of the master of Yunshan Temple was heard: "Yun Yi, what nonsense are you talking about here? Master Chen is... a distinguished guest of the Taoist temple. How could he casually take someone as his master? Apologize quickly."

Chen Jin smiled and said, "It's okay. Master, don't be angry. I think Taoist Yun Yi is simple-minded and straightforward. He is a good person."

Hearing this, Yun Yi scratched his hair bun in embarrassment.

Yun Cheng's gaze towards Chen Jin had a hint of deeper meaning.

Anyone who can be honored as a "distinguished guest" by the master is definitely not an ordinary person.

In Genshui County, the Zhao family is a popular new noble family, but Yun Cheng accepted the young master of the Zhao family as a registered disciple, and the master was too lazy to show up.

In comparison, it can be seen that Chen Jin's status is much higher.

At least that's what the master thinks.

But this matter is really strange and bizarre. Chen Jin and his sister are clearly from Chenze Township, not from the prefectures or counties, but from the capital...

Yun Cheng suddenly thought of the last time when his master was distracted and went to Chen Zexiang.

"My mind has been moved, and I have to move."

There must be many connections between the two.

It’s just that the master didn’t say it explicitly.

Since the master didn't say anything, as a disciple, I naturally shouldn't ask too much, so I just treated Chen Jin as a distinguished guest.

Chen Min became a disciple of the master of Yunshan Temple, which was equivalent to flying to a high position. Regarding this matter, she had to return home to report the good news so that her parents would not worry.

Because Chen Jin wanted to stay in the mountain, Yun Ning volunteered to help send Chen Min back on the donkey cart.

Wangcai also went along and worked part-time as a rickshaw driver.

The day passed quickly and night fell.

Chen Jin, who was arranged to live in the inner courtyard room, finished some trivial matters, packed up a little, came to the courtyard, and said to the white lantern hanging under the old peach tree: "Master, let's go up the mountain to take a look."

"it is good."

The flame of the lantern turned into an eye, and the whole lantern floated down and landed in Chen Jin's hand.

Chen Jin took the lantern, walked out of the yard and went up the steep mountain.
