Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 80: Return

(Please collect and read this new week, and give me all kinds of support!)

Facing Chen Jin, Brother Hu San reported respectfully.

Under the order of Mr. Hu, he went to the prefectures and counties to investigate, focusing on the Chen clan, and actually found information about "Chen Guiyang".

But there are not just one, but multiple people with the same name.

Brother Hu San recorded the backgrounds and general situations of these people in detail, and then returned to Genshui County.

He first went to Chenze Township, and after asking people, he learned that Chen Jin was in Yunshan, so he rushed over.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Chen Jin took the booklet and flipped through it page by page.

He quickly read through all the information, combined it with his own inferences about "Chen Guiyang", and finally came up with two most suspicious persons.

Both of these "Chen Guiyangs" were not at home in the prefectures or counties, but were outside. No one knew where they had gone.

This is the reality.

In such a vast sea of people, trying to find someone whose name you only know is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But even so, Chen Jin will continue to look for it.

"Find him and kill him!"

This matter has become an obsession, mixed in with my soul and mind, like a grain of sand dropped into a rice jar. If I don't find it out and remove it, I will feel uncomfortable.

At this point, thoughts about "hatred" are no longer important.

Brother Hu San said again: "Mr. Chen, I came here for two more things."

"You said."

"First, my master once promised you a title of 'Scholar'. If you are willing, I can do it right away."

Chen Jin replied: "Don't bother. If I want to be famous, I will take the exam myself."

Brother Hu San said, "Oh," and said, "The second thing is that my master has something to do, and the whole family will move away from Sishan County soon. I would like to ask you, young master, if you are free in the near future to come and visit again?"

Chen Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "Your young lady's problem has been solved. I don't need to bother her anymore."

Brother Hu San couldn't help but feel disappointed, but he didn't dare to force it: "In that case, I'll take my leave."

"I'll take you out."

"I dare not. Please stay, sir."

As Brother Hu San said this, he walked out of the ear room, turned back, bowed respectfully to Chen Jin, and then walked down the mountain.

Chen Jin turned back to the inner courtyard and began to pack up.

Seeing this, the temple master asked, "Master Chen, are you going down the mountain?"

"Well, it's time to go home and do something else."

"it is good."

The abbot is a straightforward person and doesn't follow any false formalities.

When monks go about their business, they tend to follow their own will. If they do this and that, they will be hindered at every step. How can they still practice Taoism?

After all, he is a cultivator who has reached the state of spiritual enlightenment, so he can be more open-minded.

Upon learning that her brother was leaving, Yun Min hurried to see him off. Before she could say a few words, tears began to flow down her face.

During this period of time, in the Taoist temple, although one of them lived in the inner courtyard and the other in the outer courtyard, and they did not see each other often, but as long as they thought that there was a relative nearby, they would feel at ease and have a sense of security.

Now that Chen Jin is going down the mountain, she will be left alone.

Yun Ning held her hand and said comfortingly, "Xiao Min, your brother is not gone forever. He will come back when he is free after finishing his work. Don't forget, he is still the Grand Guest of our Taoist temple."

Chen Jin smiled and said, "That's right. Besides, Xiao Min, you are a monk now, you should concentrate on cultivating your character and stay in the mountains to practice. When you learn some skills, you can travel around and do what you like." Yun Min wiped away her tears and said, "Brother, I will definitely learn some skills seriously. Please tell my parents when you go home so that they don't have to worry."

Yun Ning stared at Chen Jin with a pair of bright eyes, passionately and boldly: "Mr. Chen, are you really going down the mountain and home to take the imperial examination and obtain fame?"

"What's the problem?"

“It just feels weird.”

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Actually, I am really a scholar. Let's go."

Carrying a book collection and a sword, he went down the mountain, leaving only a dashing figure behind the two women.

The donkey cart was kept in a wooden shed at the foot of the mountain and was being taken care of by a Taoist servant. After going down the mountain, he took the cart and left.

At the mountain gate, Yun Cheng and Yun Yi rushed over after hearing the news, but Chen Jin had already gone far away.

The two of them sighed.

They heard about Chen Jin's instruction on the "Five Internal Organs Breathing Method" and wanted to come and ask for advice, but they didn't expect to get nothing.

Taoist Yun Cheng also couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "Little Junior Sister, why does your brother, who is such a man, want to take the imperial examination?"

Yun Min blinked her eyes: "But since he was a child, my brother has studied poetry and books hard, and his biggest wish is to pass the imperial examination and get his name on the list of successful candidates."

"But……"

Taoist Yun Cheng was a little confused for a moment.

From Chen Jin bringing Chen Min up the mountain, to Chen Min becoming the master's guest of honor, living in the inner courtyard, and even becoming the "Grand Guest"; then he helped and resolved the master's difficulties in cultivation, and even wrote a poem to command the old peach tree; he even solved the hidden figure of the Ghost Spirit Sect's branch altar...

These things, when connected together, are shrouded in mystery and seem confusing.

In their minds, they had already accepted and recognized Chen Jin's identity as a master, but in the blink of an eye, the master came down the mountain and returned to the world of mortals.

This creates a certain contrast.

"Junior sister, please tell us more about your brother."

"I have said everything that needs to be said. I don't know anything else. Otherwise, Senior Brother, you can go ask Master. Master and my brother live in the inner courtyard. He knows more than me."

Taoist Yun Cheng: “…”

……

On this return trip, Chen Jinzhen served as the driver.

But the donkey was obedient and didn't need to be driven hard. After running back and forth two or three times, it suddenly became a "fat donkey that knows the way".

When I passed by Yunshan Market, I went there specifically to take a look. I saw a wide variety of goods, but there was nothing that was pleasing to the eye.

That's the way it is. In a market like this, countless people come to see it all day long. Even if there are good things, it's not the turn of a passerby to pick them up easily.

However, some stall owners and others took a fancy to the Caomang sword that Chen Jin was carrying, and asked him if he wanted to sell the sword.

Perhaps he felt that Chen Jin was young, and from his temperament and demeanor, he didn't look like a swordsman, so perhaps he could get something from him.

But when he heard that it was not for sale, he stopped pestering me.

After a round of visits, Chen Jin gained something. He spent some money and bought several packets of medicinal materials, which he could use to make medicinal food for tonic.

After breaking through to the third realm, the requirements for diet increase again, and one must pay attention to "fine food" and medicinal food.

From this perspective, although Yunshan has many specialty foods, the output is not high and is subject to seasonal restrictions. It would be embarrassing to give them all to him alone.

Moreover, his biggest need for Yunshan now is not daily food and drink, but...

Chen Jin suddenly looked up and gazed at the top of the mountain which was half covered by thick clouds.

There, a divine creature is being nurtured: it has a human face and a snake body, with straight eyes and a righteous appearance. If it can be subdued and collected, it can be refined into a sword.

A true divine sword!
