What kind of Journey to the West is this?

indeed.

But the question is, where to find it?

In response, Yu Qinghuai took the initiative to say, "If you need it, Senior, I can set up a ritual altar. Although I'm not familiar with the altar of Nanhua Zhenren, I shouldn't have any major problems if I follow the book."

This is the benefit of being proficient in rituals. It is equivalent to knowing the phone number of every god. When you need to contact them, just call them.

Yanxia was also trying to give it a try. It wouldn't be difficult to arrange a fast or a prayer ceremony anyway, so she could just offer some fruits as an offering.

It would be best if she could invite that old man Zhuang Zhou down, as that would solve her problem of refining the Wood Demon. If she couldn't, then she would just have to take it one step at a time.

If it really doesn't work, then she can only wait for Luo Suchang to wake up. Maybe the big-breasted master can give her some useful advice.

Yan Xia nodded and said, "Then you should come early tomorrow morning and arrange a fasting ceremony. I'm also hosting a banquet tonight, Qing Huai, come and have some, just as a reward."

Invite her to your home, have a banquet at night...

The temple girl couldn't help but feel a little restrained.

But she didn't know what was going on, but when someone invited her in the middle of the night, she didn't resist at all. Instead, she felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart.

"By the way, if it's too much trouble, you can also..."

Before Yanxia could finish her words, she saw the temple girl quickly shaking her head.

"No problem! No trouble!"

Yanxia silently swallowed the second half of the sentence.

After she and Xue Shi'er left the City God Temple, Yan Xia remembered Yu Qinghuai's inexplicable little movements and whispered, "Do you feel that there is something wrong with Qinghuai?"

Xue Shier looked confused.

"What's wrong?"

"It's her attitude, her attitude! We've only just met once, right? Why is she so enthusiastic towards me?"

Xue Shi'er couldn't even understand her own feelings, so how could she understand these things? She wondered, "Maybe it's a way to repay a favor."

Yanxia feels the same way.

Maybe she was overthinking it.

Xue Shi'er tilted his head and looked at Yan Xia, complaining: "It can't be that I fell in love with you at first sight?"

The girl put her hands on her hips and nodded generously.

She is so beautiful, it's normal for other girls to fall in love with her at first sight!

It's somewhat plausible.

"You are a Taoist priest. Qinghuai is a simple person. How could she have such thoughts? What's so good about you? I only treat you as a treasure."

"So Snow Lion still cares about me. I am so grateful."

"No need to thank me."

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

On the other side, the City God Temple,

A golden shadow flew out of the woods.

The Golden Bird Fairy bumped into a tree and saw stars.

"Hey, hey, wasn't I going to the Taoist priest's house? Where did I fly to..."

Jinquexianer looked around and saw the plaque of "Wenchang Hall".

The bird was startled and regretted, "Why did I end up in the Xingxiu Palace of Emperor Wenchang?"

She took a closer look and discovered that there was another large house next to the Wenchang Hall. It was of the same size as the Wenchang Hall and also had a plaque hanging on the door:

"Zhengyixuantan"

——It doesn’t seem to be a star.

"Oh, so this is Xiaoyuer's home. Why does this place feel so familiar?"

The Golden Bird Fairy recognized the City God Temple and happily flew to the door of the big house, where she saw a temple girl wearing a tall crown and gorgeous clothes.

Yu Qinghuai bowed three times to the tall statue, muttering something.

The Golden Sparrow Fairy flew in with a whoosh, glanced at the statue of Zhao Gongming of the Dragon and Tiger Mysterious Altar, but didn't pay much attention. She said happily, "Xiao Yu'er, have you found a good family yet?"

Yu Qinghuai was startled and patted his chest to scold Jinquexianer.

"Why didn't you even say hello when the Bird Fairy came?"

"Hehe, I was drunk and accidentally flew to your house."

Yu Qinghuai was speechless and asked, "Which great god's decree did Quexianer bring with her? Why did she come to Cangzhou Prefecture again?

"Be careful of the ghosts who will catch you!"

The temple girl bared her teeth and raised her hands to scare the Golden Sparrow Fairy.

Birds are messengers of gods. Occasionally, the Golden Bird Fairy would receive some work to help the gods in heaven deliver some letters. Most of them were sent to the City God's Mansion. The letters sent to the City God's Mansion had to be delivered to the temple keeper. Over time, she became familiar with Yu Qinghuai.

"No order, no order. A Taoist priest is going to give me a banquet tomorrow, and I'm going to attend it."

Yu Qinghuai was stunned when he heard this, and asked cautiously, "A banquet? Where?"

"Qing'an Xiaoju in Luo'anfang."

"Are there... a lot of people going there?"

"There are quite a few characters."

When he heard that many people were going, Yu Qinghuai was stunned. For no reason, he felt a little depressed.

ps: There will be another chapter tonight

Dong Huang suddenly receives a jade talisman: Chapter 65 [Nan Hua Zhenren]

After helping Xue Shier set up the stall for a whole day, Yan Xia went to ask Yu Qinghuai about the gourd seeds. She was so sleepy that she went home, hugged Xue Shier and fell asleep.

The next day, at noon, the girl was sleepy and had no idea where the snow lion had gone.

Before she could find the cat, she felt extremely hungry and ran to the kitchen following the smell.

There is a family dinner tonight. Bai Zhu has made all the arrangements and has asked the servants to prepare the ingredients in advance. He has also made many semi-finished products in preparation for the dinner.

So Yanxia ran to the kitchen, picked up a bowl of rice, and started to eat it.

When the cooks saw that it was the eldest lady coming, they didn't dare to stop her.

Cook over there and eat here.

Bai Zhu counted with his fingers, his heart skipped a beat, and he said to himself, "My elixir", and immediately asked Cang Yue to check the situation in the kitchen.

Cang Yue arrived and saw that the young lady was eating so happily. His stomach was rumbling and his mouth was watering, so he joined the army of people eating.

One is a young girl who is refining her essence, and the other is a first-rate martial artist who has practiced martial arts for many years. The cooks suddenly felt their workload was strained, and there was even a sense of supply exceeding demand.

At this time, there were banging sounds of gongs and drums outside the yard.

The gong sounded, bang bang bang, and two ivory flags fluttered in the wind.

A servant from somewhere shouted, "The governor has arrived!"

Bai Zhu was startled and quickly asked someone to open the door. Coincidentally, Xue Shier was there, so she asked Xue Shier to call Yan Xia.

The governor is a high-ranking official and it is not easy for her to make the decision on her own.

Then Xue Shier pulled Yan Xia, who still had rice grains on the corners of her mouth and looked confused, over.

Cangyue followed closely behind with a bowl of rice.

Bai Zhu was speechless and said, "Didn't I tell you to call the young lady over?"

Cang Yue nodded seriously and said, "The young lady said she was hungry."

"You believe everything the young lady says?" Bai Zhu said, a little like an elder sister who is like a mother and is very disappointed with her.

Cang Yue said: "I'm hungry too."

Bai Zhu held his forehead and said, "The governor has arrived. You should accompany the young lady to greet him."

After saying that, Cang Yue paused for a moment, then handed the meal over and asked, "Is the governor hungry too?"

"...It's okay, go play somewhere else."

Let’s not talk about this here. Yan Xia was taken away to meet the governor.

An Dunyi, the governor of Cangzhou, is the great-nephew of Yanxia in terms of seniority, and calls Yanxia "aunt".

He was originally a descendant of a branch of the An family in Anqiu. He relied on his studies to become an aide to the warlord Wang Shichong. Later, he defected to Li Shimin and relied on the money provided by Yanxia to bribe people and was transferred to Cangzhou as a governor.

Of course, all these political speculations are guided by a master behind the scenes who is crazy about seeking immortality.

Yanxia wiped the rice grains from the corner of her mouth and took a closer look, only to find that in addition to the governor, the deputy driver, the military officer, and the recorder were all there.

These together almost constitute the entire leadership team, three offices and six ministries of Cangzhou Prefecture.

She looked confused.

"Did I commit a crime?"

An Dunyi, wearing a round-necked brocade robe, smiled bitterly and said, "Auntie, I'm here to make peace and plead for you."

This is my real aunt.

Yanxia took a look and realized that General Zheng was very reserved.

Military Officer Zheng quickly bowed and said, "Young lady, the matchmaker I hired was ignorant and offended you a few days ago. I have come here today to apologize."

After that, two porters came with four boxes of things.

It wasn't gold, silver or treasures. One box contained writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, the four treasures of the study; one box contained ginseng, snow lotus and rare medicinal herbs; and the remaining two boxes contained books, most of which were related to matters related to gods and immortals.

Medicinal herbs are related to curing diseases.

Books, I'm afraid they heard that she has been seeking immortality.

If Yanxia had seen this before, she would have been really moved.

Now, the only thing that was useful to her was the box of books that she could read to relieve her boredom.

Yan Xia took a look and said, "That's thoughtful."

Zheng Canjun finally smiled and bowed repeatedly, "It's good that I can please the young lady."

Yan Xia said, "Remove the documents from the Yu family, and stop harassing them."

"Yes, yes! I will remember not to compete with the people for profit."

This is a misunderstanding that Yan Xia is coveting Yu's real estate.

Yanxia didn't argue.

Even the military officer, a high-ranking official, and the governor of a state, treated the girl with great respect, which immediately attracted many surprised and suspicious looks.

Many officials who had never seen Yan Xia had already begun to speculate that Yan Xia might be a noble from some family.

Seeing that the matter was resolved peacefully, An Dunyi smiled and said, "This is really a double blessing. Aunt, I have official business to attend to, so I won't stay here long. I'll come visit you again when I'm free the next day."

Yan Xia nodded and asked, "I was wondering why you mobilized so many troops. It turns out that an important person is coming."

An Dunyi didn't dare to say much, he just pointed to the sky and raised another finger.

Then, there were gongs and drums, and the group slowly left.

When Xue Shier closed the door, he saw Yan Xia's serious face instantly fall apart.

The girl pinched her cheeks and felt tight.

"Oh, it's so hard to talk to them. They always have stern faces when I talk to them."

Bai Zhu looked at Yan Xia and asked, "Miss, the eldest son of the Li family has arrived in Cangzhou. Should we welcome him?"

"What are you welcoming? Let's keep playing music and dancing!"

Yan Xia didn't want to get involved in politics, and she knew that Li Jiancheng would not be the crown prince for many years, so why would she date him?
