The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles.
Mother Chen was longing for and worried all day long, and suddenly she saw her son return. She was not surprised, but frightened, and mistook him for a ghost, which made her misunderstood.
After some explanations, Mother Chen finally believed that her son was really back.
Chu Chen couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Fortunately, the appearance of Chu Baiqing broke the sorrowful thoughts of mother and son who had not seen each other for many years. Especially when Chen's mother learned about Xiao Bailong's life experience, she was surprised and couldn't help but feel pity.
That night, Chu Chen stayed with Chen's mother all night long and talked about home affairs.
From Chen's mother, he learned about the current situation of his father and younger brother.
Chen's father, Chen Jiaxian, was named on the gold medal list and was "born as a Jinshi". After condensing a high-level literary mind, his Taoist cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. He finally broke through the seventh rank and entered the sixth rank of Taoist realm. In addition, he had meritorious service in governing the local area during his three-year term and was promoted to one level.
, already a sixth-grade official.
My younger brother Chen Pengju is even more amazing.
Born in Sandingjia, Pianpian Tanhualang gathered the best cultural background. He broke through to the sixth rank within three years of cultivating in the imperial capital. He was directly promoted from the sixth rank. He was promoted to a higher rank when he was sent to the prefectures and counties. Now he is a full sixth rank, in charge of one side and under pressure.
Passed by Father Chen.
Lao Chen was surpassed by all his children and could not be strong-willed at home. When he showed off to his wife, he was not interested because he was afraid that his wife would use their children to block him.
There is really no sense of accomplishment and no interest in life.
Mother Chen and her son chatted about daily life, and when they talked about the letter from Father Chen, their faces were filled with a happy smile.
Until the next day, Chen's mother's smile did not diminish, which surprised everyone in the Chen family and thought that their mistress had met a great event.
Longling Mountain, where the Fire Dragon resides.
Chu Chen and Chu Baiqing rode the golden tiger. Under the astonished gazes of the people who were waiting outside the mountain for elixirs, they swaggered past the formation restrictions and rushed into the valley.
"How dare you, what kind of evildoer breaks into my fire dragon residence."
Hu Lao roared, but halfway through his words, he faintly felt a familiar aura and was surprised.
Chu Chen no longer restrained his breath, smiled and bowed his hand to Hu Lao.
"Lao Hu, it's me who's back."
Hu Lao showed joy on his face. He was about to call him "Ling Xiao boy", but when he caught a glimpse of Chu Chen's obscure and terrifying aura, he was slightly startled:
"Ling Xiao, you."
Before Hu Lao finished speaking, two exclamations came from his ears.
"Junior brother!"
Senior Brother Sun Hun and Senior Sister Yue Po came excitedly, and the Fire Dragon Alchemist quietly appeared behind them.
"I've met Master~"
Chu Chen bowed his hands.
Chu Baiqing knew the Fire Dragon Alchemist and respectfully saluted him as "Master", while Hu Dali respectfully addressed him as "The Fire Dragon Patriarch". The whole valley suddenly became quite lively.
"Ling Xiao, what is your current Taoist practice? Why can't I see through you?"
Tiger Lao felt itchy and couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Sun Soul and Moon Soul also noticed something was wrong and nodded in unison:
"Junior brother, what kind of breathing methods did you use when you returned to the Fire Dragon Residence? It's too outrageous."
Chu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and just wanted to explain a few words.
However, after listening to the words of the two disciples, the Fire Dragon Alchemist who was smiling at the side suddenly fell down, hating that iron cannot become steel:
"Two uneducated bastards, your junior brother is at the fifth level and has a super-level cultivation. You two are of the lowest level, and you have eyesight but don't recognize Lingyun Wood. It's really a disgrace!"
Sun Soul Moon Soul: "."
The next moment, Sun, Soul, Moon and Soul both looked at their junior brother, their faces full of resentment, and the memories that had been buried for three years were swept back.
Chu Chen showed a harmless expression.
He did nothing and said nothing.
Chu Chen stayed at the Fire Dragon Residence for two days. The Fire Dragon Alchemist learned about Chu Chen's situation and supported him in his travels. Before leaving, he gave him some guidance on alchemy practice, which benefited him a lot.
Hu Dali also received the guidance of Mr. Hu and gained a lot.
Chu Baiqing's harvest was the most practical. Everyone liked the little Taoist boy with red lips and white teeth. He came out of the Fire Dragon Residence, and his bracelet fairy house was filled with elixirs that were valuable in the outside world. He became rich overnight.
After visiting his mother and his master, the Fire Dragon Alchemist, Chu Chen stopped visiting relatives and friends to avoid exposing his identity and getting into trouble.
Before leaving, he went to the Diyuan Dragon Palace.
I heard from Mr. Long that Qingying's breakthrough to the realm of great supernatural power was very smooth and she had already overcome the bottleneck. However, the Dragon Clan's practice method is different. She practiced dormantly for about a year and a half before Qingying could break through.
Chu Chen was afraid that Mr. Long would give him advice if he disagreed, so he ran away without saying a word.
Flying clouds travel all over the world, making shadows in three mountains.
Chu Chen carried a bookcase on his back, followed two little Taoist boys, raised a kitten, and embarked on a journey around the world.
Just like when he first met his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping.——
The world is vast, time is like water, spring goes and autumn comes again.
"Selling gourd skewers, fragrant and sweet, no charge if not delicious!"
On the streets of the small town, the shouts of vendors and footmen could be heard one after another, and all kinds of noises could be heard endlessly. Countless people were running around for a living, busy, chaotic but orderly.
However, on the busy street, a group of people suddenly gathered around, and the crowd became more and more crowded, and from time to time, sad cries could be heard.
A middle-aged couple knelt at the door of the drugstore, holding a pale and unconscious toddler, begging:
"Doctor, please save my child. We are willing to spend all our wealth. Please do well. He is the only flesh and blood of our couple. Oh oh oh~ if we don't have the child, how will we live in the future."
The middle-aged couple cried heartbrokenly, which made everyone sad to hear it.
When the neighbors heard this, they all felt sympathy and spoke to the middle-aged couple one after another.
"Thank you, doctor, for your superb medical skills. Please take a look again."
The medicine shop doctor shook his head, squatted down and lifted up the child's ankles, revealing two ferocious bloody eyes.
"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to help. This little kid has been poisoned by snake venom. The poison spreads and penetrates into the heart. I am helpless. At the moment, I can only go to the County Ghost and God Department to ask the immortal master for help. There is still a glimmer of hope. It's a pity.
The mountains in the county and the city are high and the roads are far away, I'm afraid the little kid won't be able to survive and will die on the way."
When the middle-aged couple heard this, they cried more and more sadly.
Passers-by around him shook their heads and sighed, expressing deep sympathy.
"Give way and I can save him."
Everyone went out looking for fame.
I saw a little Taoist boy, about seven or eight years old, holding a tiger-striped kitten in his hand and wearing a green Taoist robe, squeezing out of the crowd and shouting hello.
When everyone saw that it was a little Taoist boy whose hair had not yet fully grown, they thought it was some brat who was causing trouble, so they all waved their hands to stop him.
However, some thoughtful people’s eyes lit up and they said in surprise:
"Little Taoist Priest, where is your master? Tao Priest, please be merciful and save the child."
"It doesn't matter, I'll just take action."
The little Taoist boy waved his hand. He was eager to save people. Without saying a word, he made hand gestures, recited mantras, and wrote talismans with his eyes.
In an instant, the three lights of the sun, moon and stars descended and turned into a golden talisman [Three Light Talisman].
Upon seeing this scene, the doctor at the drug store, the middle-aged couple and passers-by screamed in surprise.
Hearing the exclamations of "little fairy", "meeting a fairy master" and so on, the little Taoist boy smiled happily and shouted loudly without saying a word:
"Edict!"
A [Three Light Talisman] sank into the child's body.
The comatose toddler's face soon gained a trace of color, and he woke up from his coma.
However, the good times did not last long, and the young child soon passed out again, his face turned ashen.
The little Taoist boy was stunned when he saw this, and when faced with everyone's questioning, he blushed anxiously.
At this moment, a spiritual light flew from a distance and landed on the young child.
The next moment, the toddler suddenly stood up from his mother's arms, his face was rosy, and he was just as lively as usual.
"You brat, he's not good at his studies and loves to show off. Let's go. It's time to hit the road."
"Master, I'm here."
In an instant, everyone discovered that the cat-holding Taoist boy had disappeared on the spot.
They all looked sideways and saw a Taoist priest and a little Taoist boy disappearing at the gate of the town and drifting away.
"God, we met a god."
Suburban trails.
"Master, why doesn't my [Three Light Talisman] have your spirit?"
"If you are not sincere, how can the magic talisman be effective? Your cultivation level is higher than that of your senior brother, but your magic and magical powers are not reliable. If you don't ask for a clear explanation, it will naturally not be effective when you encounter difficult problems."
"I have worked very hard. I chant sutras and draw talismans every day. I am very diligent."
"That's right, senior brother, Bai Qingke has worked hard. You just teach some obscure Taoist scriptures. It's hard for others to have magical powers. It's too much."
"You bastard, senior fellow apprentice, if you talk too much, the spiritual fragrance will be gone in the next month."
"Uuuuuuu, senior brother, I was wrong."
Chu Chen ignored it and strode towards the distant mountains where the smoke was curling up.
Before I knew it, more than a year had passed.
He took his apprentices Chu Baiqing, Xiaoguizai, and Hu Dali to travel around, visiting all the nine states in the middle-earth, deserts, water towns, plateaus, hills, waterfalls, and everything in the world.
The path he passed was mixed with worldly things and changed according to fate.
He once led his disciples to kill venomous snakes with flying swords in Daze, hung pots on the streets of busy streets to save lives and healed the wounded, and also inspired and guided monks and Taoists, and supported younger generations of fellow practitioners.
Traveling in all directions, there is no one to measure.
There are no visitors three thousand miles away, and I have been in the clouds for seven hundred years.
Penglai is filled with annexes, and the road is turned into rubble and filled with gold.
Although Chu Chen did not "accomplish the Tao", he did experience a baptism from body to soul.
Take the nature of heaven and earth as your teacher, mix it with the worldly world, and refine your Taoist heart through the vast world of mortals.
After traveling around for more than a year, Chu Chen quietly transformed, and the [Xiao Wuqi Chaoyuan] was completed, and the shadow of the king in his body shone brightly.
"Master is right, traveling around the world really sharpens the body and mind, which is of great benefit to monks like us."
Chu Chen murmured to himself, feeling very satisfied.
Although he has not broken through to the realm of great supernatural powers, after traveling for a year and a half, he has immeasurable understanding of people, his thoughts are clear, his mind is harmonious, and his sexual skills are successful.
The opportunity for breakthrough has not come, but it is not far away.
These days, he can always feel the "heart king" in his body, and there is a faint tendency to communicate with each other.
Perhaps, given a small opportunity, he can break through the bottleneck, meet the Lord of Heart, and "hold the Lord of Heart to command all gods."
"Sir, are we back to Qingzhou? I seem to have been here before."
The petite tiger jumped vigorously and followed the master and apprentice, looking around and asking curious questions.
Speaking of which, Hu Dali has been wronged for more than a year. In order not to scare the people, the Immortal Court ordered the golden tiger from the fifth grade Dali to transform into a kitten, pretending to be cute and good.
"Yes, this place is Qingzhou."
Chu Chen nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face, full of expectation.
"Dali Huzi, you really have no memory. Sister Ying'er is about to leave seclusion, and senior brother is rushing back."
The little ghost had a look of disdain on his face. He remembered firmly when Sister Ying'er would be released from seclusion. He looked forward to it day and night, just hoping that Sister Ying'er would be happy to be released from seclusion. He waved his hand and rewarded it with countless fragrances.
Chu Chen was distracted by the little devil, and he couldn't help but shouted:
"You bastard, you are the roundworm in my senior brother's stomach. Who said that my senior brother is in a hurry to go back?"
Chu Baiqing was overjoyed when he heard that his adoptive mother was released from seclusion, and interjected: "Master, we have been here before, why don't we take a long journey and get to the county town to rest before the city gate closes after dark."
Chu Chen: "Okay!"
Little devil: "→_→"
The sun sets in the west.
On the vast plain, a city rises from the ground.
Chu Chen, Chu Baiqing, Hu Dali and the others soared into the clouds and mist, landed on the outskirts of the county town, gathered their auras, and turned into ordinary wandering Taoists to stay in the city.
In the evening, the gate of the city was very lively. People who had been busy all day filed into the city, and it was very crowded.
Chu Chen and Chu Baiqing did not use any magic powers and followed the people silently.
After walking for about a hundred breaths.
The master and apprentice walked out of the crowd, and Chu Chen released his consciousness and searched for nearby inns.
"Eh~"
Chu Chen was surprised, and vaguely, his consciousness sensed a familiar aura.
So, he moved and walked towards another street.
Not long after, the master and the disciple came to a beggar.
Chu Chen looked surprised.
"Zhou Zijing, why are you here and reduced to a beggar?"
Hearing this, the beggar suddenly raised his head. When he saw a familiar face, his dull eyes suddenly burst into light. He was so excited that he stood up suddenly and hugged Chu Chen's arm:
"Chu Du Guan, you really are Chu Du Guan."
The man in front of him was none other than Zhou Zijing, whom Chu Chen had known when he was the governor of Yunlin—the scholar whose family had a fox wife and red sleeves.
Seeing Zhou Zijing's heartbreak, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel curious.
A man doesn't shed tears easily, but he hasn't reached the point where he is sad.
At the beginning, Zhou Zijing was deeply in debt, had no hope of livelihood, and shed tears.
He's so out of sorts right now.
Chu Chen's spiritual consciousness was strong and he had spiritual eyes. He could tell that Zhou Zijing had worked hard to study in the past few years. Now he was not in vain, but had the reputation of being a "scholar" and practiced Confucian cultivation. Unfortunately, he was banned from practicing magic.
for.
"Zhou Zijing, what's going on? Who did you offend to have your cultivation level banned?"
Zhou Zijing was very excited when he heard this, but he remembered something and looked around with fear in his heart.
Chu Chen's spiritual consciousness was powerful. With one glance, he immediately noticed that someone was peeping secretly and glanced at Hu Dali.
"Sir, I'm going to catch him alive."
Hu Dali, who turned into a cat, knew his husband's thoughts and disappeared out of thin air.
Chu Chen performed the magic formula with his hand, and in an instant, the busy streets and alleys around him disappeared, and the surrounding area was completely white.
"Zhou Zijing, tell me, what happened to you?"
After a period of excitement, Zhou Zijing calmed down and became anxious:
"Guan Chu, my wife has been kidnapped again!"
Chu Chen was a little surprised, being kidnapped again?
"Could it be Gu Aoyu from Qingyang Marquis Mansion who did it again?"
"It's him. The Cloud and Mist Water God framed and accused my wife of going to Yunwu Lake to steal heavenly materials and earthly treasures. How could she do such a thing if she is practicing her duty honestly?"
"I've been asking for help everywhere these days, but as soon as the government, the Department of Ghosts and Gods, my teachers and friends heard about the Qingyang Marquis Mansion, they immediately turned against me, saying that if someone is not of my race, their hearts will be different."
Chu Chen frowned and asked:
"You didn't ask Fox Fairy Daiyan for help?"
"Empress Daiyan has broken through the Taoist line and is closed to life and death. I have no way to ask for help."
Perhaps he had encountered too many obstacles these days, so Zhou Zijing felt worried and asked with an uneasy look on his face:
