The Cangzhou Lion Has No Buddha Nature: Chapter 55 [The Uselessness of Uselessness]

The young girl in green breathed a sigh of relief, bowed gracefully, and said gratefully, "Thanks to your righteous words, otherwise I would have been in great trouble today."

Yu Qinghuai didn't have a deep impression of Yanxia, but he recognized Xue Shier and knew that this was a monster that gave headaches to the ghosts and gods in the City God Mansion.

After a few interactions, it became clear that the girl next to him was also a respected senior.

Yan Xia felt very happy when she heard the cute "senior".

Seeing the girl so complacent, Xue Shier pinched her.

"It hurts!"

Xue Shi'er snorted slightly and said jealously, "You still feel pain? Have you forgotten what you are here for?"

Yu Qinghuai, who was standing next to him, covered his mouth and chuckled.

Yan Xia then remembered that she had come to ask the old City God what the jade talisman was used for.

Since we are going to find the old city god, we definitely need a stick of agarwood to communicate with him.

But when she asked this, Yu Qinghuai was embarrassed:

"Senior, I really don't have any incense or candles that can help me summon the gods."

She explained, "It's been raining these past two days, and the incense and candles I was making have all broken down halfway through, so we haven't been able to get any more. If it's not urgent, could you give me an address and I'll send it over in a few days?"

There was really no need to rush about the jade talisman. Yan Xia agreed immediately and was about to say goodbye and leave.

She planned to go to Wuhe Mountain to invite Jinquexianer and others to a banquet.

But before she could say anything, she thought about it again.

The Jade Talisman of the Gods... Why are we looking for the City God? Isn't there an expert right before our eyes?

"That's great! The experts are here!"

"What expert?" Xue Shier didn't understand.

Yan Xia said, "Look."

As she spoke, Yan Xia took out the jade talisman.

Xue Shier was puzzled, took a look, and was shocked.

The milky white texture has ancient patterns flowing on it, and just looking at it makes you feel dizzy.

Xue Shi'er naturally had no idea what sect or school this belonged to, but he could tell it was a legitimate Jade Talisman for Conferring Gods! The kind that could truly confer divine powers.

"Taoist, aren't you an alchemist? How come you have this kind of talisman treasure?"

Yan Xia swore, "Don't ask. If you ask, it's just a lucky coincidence. I found it after jumping off a cliff."

Xue Shier was really jealous this time.

She had been in Lingshan for so many years, but had never found such a treasure.

This Taoist priest is so good, how come he encounters something strange every two steps...

Yu Qinghuai saw the two people playing and joking around, and their close relationship, and thought of his own loneliness, so he felt a little envious, but thinking that he and the others were only acquainted once, he did not dare to interrupt.

Until Yan Xia took the initiative to strike up a conversation and handed over the jade talisman.

"Miss Yu, do you recognize this jade talisman?"

Yu Qinghuai woke up in shock and took a closer look.

It is true that people learn things in different times and have different specializations. When the temple girl took a look at it, she was just like Master Quan and Master Niu who appraised treasures. They could tell at a glance that the item was genuine and very promising.

When Yan Xia saw the other person's serious look, she immediately felt relieved.

Yu Qinghuai said: "The specifications of this jade talisman should be the imperial jade talisman of the ancient Chu State in the south. If it is really used, the Taiyi Zhenjiao should be arranged, and the Dongji Qingxuan Altar should be used secondly.

"It's best to use the Emperor's name as your real name, and the Taiyi name can't be used. The Great God Donghuang was demoted during the Han Dynasty and is now the Emperor."

Donghuang Taiyi was originally the supreme god in ancient Chu mythology. The title given to him by Xuanmen was Dongji Qingxuan Emperor, who was Taiyi (Taiyi) the Savior of Sufferings.

Yanxia clapped her hands, somewhat delighted. This was truly useful, even describing its origins and the rituals involved.

Seeing Yan Xia so happy, Xue Shi'er poured out a basin of cold water and asked in confusion, "Taoist, you are an elixir cultivator. What's the use of the jade talisman for conferring deity?"

Yan Xia laughed and said, "It's useless to me, but I can use it for other things!"

Xue Shi'er was confused and asked, "Do you have any friends who practice Shinto?"

Yanxia thought about it and it seemed not.

Xiong Shanjun could barely be considered one, but he wasn’t really a friend, just an acquaintance.

Xue Shier asked again, "So do you want to keep this deal?"

Yan Xia shook her head. "How can I trade it? If someone with ulterior motives takes it, who knows what kind of disaster it will cause."

After all, it is the Jade Talisman of Conferred Gods, in charge of an area, and it is of the seventh rank.

——The City God is only a seventh-rank official.

Xue Shi'er was very confused. "Then what good will this do you?"

Yan Xia smiled gently and said, "You can keep it as a table leg."

Xue Shier's eyes widened, not knowing what this meant.

But the temple girl was intelligent. Yu Qinghuai whispered, "There's no need to pursue it. What's the point?"

"Up and down complement each other, front and back follow each other, being and non-being give birth to each other. This is the use of uselessness."

Xue Shi'er found it strange to hear this, and she didn't care about east, west, south, or north. She just understood one thing:

Some people are gifted with wisdom, while others are not.

Those with intelligence become big liars, and those without intelligence are just stupid cats.

...............

Yanxia did not stay long. After bidding farewell to Yu Qinghuai, she went home and asked Bai Zhu to prepare some dry food. Then she set off for Wuhe Mountain.

Xue Shier didn't follow this time.

She was wondering whether the jade talisman under the table leg was useful...

Yanxia bought a little mare and left the city without reporting it.

After walking for half a day, she arrived at the Golden Pine Forest before reaching Wuhe Mountain.

Yan Xia glanced at the chestnut horse under her crotch and swallowed.

I have to say that Jinquexianer’s horse meat dishes are truly unique.

The chestnut horse felt the malice from its master and trembled in fear.

Yan Xia patted the horse's head and said comfortingly, "We'll have to rely on you to go into the mountains later. I won't kill you for the time being."

The chestnut horse was so scared that it peed and trembled.

Yanxia was afraid that Jinquexian'er would get greedy and set her eyes on the mare, so she simply tied the mare to the edge of the woods and went into the golden pine forest herself.

Maybe it was because she had broken the invisibility spell of the Golden Sparrow Fairy with a magic sword before, and now the Golden Sparrow Fairy has learned her lesson.

Every three or five steps, Yanxia could see a small gadget for detecting qi in the grass.

Squirrels, groundhogs, sparrows, pheasants, all had cloud seals written on them by the Goldfinch Fairy with dye, which became the Goldfinch Fairy's eyeliner. Their bodies were colorful and looked very colorful, which was quite intimidating.

Yan Xia had no doubt that when it came to controlling the territory, Jinque Xian'er might be even more cunning than Chi Panlong.

As soon as Yanxia stepped into the woods, she felt it. After a while, the sound of flapping wings came from the woods.

I only saw a little goldfinch flying in the air, crying out with tears in its eyes:

"Taoist! You actually came to see me and gave me a horse as a gift! Woohoo, you really do understand me."

Yan Xia was startled and quickly reminded him, "That's what I ride on. Don't kill it again."

The Golden Sparrow Fairy was struck by lightning and instantly became unfriendly.

She said speechlessly: "You, a Taoist priest, come to my forest without bringing anything. It really hurts our friendship."

The bird changed its expression so quickly that Yan Xia didn't even react.

Yanxia shook her sleeves and took out her lunch.

Jinquexian'er was in high spirits, thinking that she had eaten something delicious today and wanted to share it with him, but when she saw it, she was dumbfounded and said hesitantly, "You're just going to eat this?"

Yan Xia smiled and said, "This is peach rice, celery soup, simmering gold and jade, and cold food with honey."

The Golden Sparrow Fairy flew around several times and said pitifully, "That sounds nice, but it's just steamed peaches and black rice, pickled celery, fried bamboo shoots, boiled bamboo shoots, and honey pancakes. Where's the meat? Where's my meat?"

"Save the meat for later."

"That's all broken!"

Yan Xia smiled and said, "I want to invite Jinque Xian'er to a banquet at my house."

Jinquexian'er was suspicious and asked, "How can I go? I'm a monster."

"I have connections, the City God won't stop you."

"That's good. Who else do you want to invite?"

"Hong Hai, the abbot of Iron Lion Temple."

"Iron Lion Honghai? You should indeed invite him. He has helped you a lot."

"I still have to go see if Xiong Shanjun wants to come."

"You also made friends with the mountain king?"

“It’s some fate.”

"That's good, that's good! The tiger is also a monster with a personality."

Yan Xia paused, and finally said: "We also need to invite Xue Shi'er-jun."

The Golden Sparrow Fairy's wings stopped flying, and she almost fell to the ground. She said in horror, "Taoist, I wasn't invited here as food, was I?!"

The Cangzhou Lions Have No Buddha Nature: Chapter 56 [At the Iron Lion Temple]

Yan Xia said speechlessly: "Who wants to eat you?"

"Cat!"

Jinquexian'er was still in shock and worried, "Oh, I really have to sacrifice my life for you."

"Is Snow Lion so unbearable?"

"I told you you're a mean person, actually arranging a banquet specifically for me and Big Cat..."

An Yanxia: "(#｀ Pan?)"

"Xue Shi'er is better than you, but she's also scary. You haven't seen her before. I tried to say hello to her before, and she almost pounced on me and ate me..."
