Chickens crow noisily in the back alley of Liu Mansion, the big green cow stops chewing, and the big eyes of the copper bell reflect the suspended hen's feathers flying in all directions, and its skin and flesh tightening.
The curious goat came over and lowered his head to smell it, and then a big hand was placed on top of his head. In an instant, the goat's body shrank like a collapse, leaving only the skeleton wrapped in skin and fell to the ground.
The figure with its back to the sun, its eyes slightly red, tilted its head to look at it.
Moo~~
The old cow shook its curved horns, spit out the fodder in its mouth, and stepped back with its hooves trembling. Chen Yuan walked towards it step by step, with a trace of blood around her body seeping into her clothes and skin. The pain on her body was relieved and spread to
There is an indescribable feeling when the internal organs are numb, as if there are ants crawling on the bones.
This kind of smoking practice seemed to be an addiction, which made him unable to stop. He approached the green cow whose back was mottled with whip marks. The old cow was about to collapse at any time. He pressed against the wall with no way out, looking at the approaching humans with his eyes.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she suddenly leaned down, bending her forelimbs to kneel down, and stretched out her tongue to take Chen Yuan's hem.
The sudden scene made Chen Yuan pause. The red light in his eyes gradually disappeared. He looked at the old cow for a moment, then pressed his hand down, but then stroked its head.
"You are quite spiritual. Will you be willing to leave with me when you return to Funiu Town someday?"
Moo~
The old cow groaned.
Behind the kitchen door, the waiting nurse leaned against the door and listened to the noise outside. Compared with before, it was too quiet at this time, not to mention that so many livestock were let out in the back alley, which raised many suspicions.
'Mostly the master has other uses.'
He was thinking about it and was about to leave the door when suddenly the door opened and Chen Yuan walked in and asked him to clean the back alley and put the old cow in a safe place.
After giving instructions to the nursing home, Chen Yuan returned to the wing all the way, crossed over the sleeping master and sat on the bedside. While talking to Lao Niu, he actually felt itchy on his skin. As soon as he sat down, he immediately took off his clothes.
See the chest and abdomen secreting dense blood drops.
Could it be that what the master taught was evil magic?
"Master!"
Thinking of this, he panicked and shouted several times to his sleeping master, but the old man just turned over and still didn't wake up.
Chen Yuan gritted his teeth and had no choice but to follow the instructions taught by his master and move his magic power around his body over and over again. Gradually, he found that the skin all over his body seemed to be breathing, sucking the secreted blood drops back into his body. In his sight, there were countless
The pores breathe at the same time, and you can vaguely see the thread-like Qi entering the chest and abdomen with the breath, extending to the limbs, and then flowing back to the Dantian to form a nebula-like cyclone.
The tingling subsided, and the whole body felt as comfortable as the spring rain nourishing the earth. Chen Yuan closed his eyes in enjoyment, as if the surroundings were quiet for a moment, the light remained tilted on the wick, and the colorless sight passed through the doors, windows, eaves, and across the sky
The flying birds, the servant walking in the courtyard, the maid carrying water, and the scholar sitting in front of the bed talking to his mother all stopped for a moment.
In the Liu Mansion, everyone and everything seemed to be in front of his eyes.
When~~
The ethereal bells echoed in his ears, and the still scene in front of him spread out like ripples. Chen Yuan stood in front of a dilapidated Taoist temple in the blink of an eye, as if in a dream.
The bluestone paving cracked, and grass sprouted from the cracks, telling the desolation of this place.
The high-hanging mountain gate was covered with dead vines, and the carved writings on it could no longer be seen. The stone lanterns on both sides had not been bright for many years, and were mottled with thick moss. Chen Yuan walked into the crooked courtyard in surprise, and saw an empty main hall.
, the godless treasure platform.
In the darkness, there was also a little fire burning.
"This is……"
In the direction Chen Yuan looked, on one side of countless empty shrines, there was only one statue standing, a pair of red candles, and a long stick of incense standing on the incense burner. With the faint light of the fire, it was wearing armor and robes, holding a handle.
Sculpture of Qinglong Yanyue.
In an instant, the beard-stroking statue suddenly turned its head, and the sound echoed in the hall like an ancient bell.
"Chen - Yuan -"
There was a buzzing in his ears, and Chen Yuan suddenly woke up and opened his eyes. He was still sitting in front of the bed, sweating profusely. The crazy old man woke up at some point, and was squatting on the ground with his hands in a lotus shape, supporting his chin, blinking.
His eyes looked curiously.
"Master."
Chen Yuan calmed down and called out gently. Over there, the crazy old man looked around him and suddenly said: "It's time to practice Qi."
He suddenly woke up again, with a surprise smile on his face: "Disciple, are you awake? Where is the person who hit you? I can take care of him now."
"He's gone. Master, how are you injured?"
Chen Yuan looked at the old man's abdomen. The bandage had been torn off by the crazy old man and thrown away. On the exposed belly, there was only a little residual blood and a faint red mark.
"I don't want to boast, but this injury will heal in just two days. Look, are you alive and kicking?" The old man shook his head and jumped around the round table, like a child, and he was very happy.
Chen Yuan smiled, but thinking about the dream-like scene just now, she was full of doubts. Could it be that the Taoist temple was hidden in her body?
Otherwise, the statue of Guan Gong would be somewhat unexplainable.
Those empty shrines... are you asking me to reshape them one by one?
He vaguely felt that the path he had thought of before was the right one.
Chen Yuan asked Master to play in the house and not to disturb others outside. He sat up again, crossed his legs in a decent manner, maintained a meditative posture, and tried to get himself into the same state just now.
As soon as he fell into concentration, the Taoist temple he was thinking about suddenly appeared in the dark sight, and he came back to the main hall. This time, the statue of Guan Gong did not move. He walked around the altar and didn't see anything. Instead, he looked at the empty space next to it.
The altar trembled slightly, and I reached out to touch it. What I felt back was some kind of connection with the statue of Guan Yu.
‘It seems like we can form a couple?”
‘Is it Zhang Fei?’
After all, Guan and Zhang are brothers, so Chen Yuan's guess makes sense.
He probably had a goal in mind. When he came out of the Taoist temple and opened his eyes with his spiritual consciousness, Chen Yuan immediately had a goal. He got out of bed and prepared to burn incense on the wood carvings to accumulate magic power.
I saw the crazy old man leaning on the window with his butt sticking out and peeking out.
"Master?"
The crazy old man turned around and said "Shhh" and pointed outside. Chen Yuan walked over curiously and saw that the three senior brothers were wandering outside.
"If we want to leave, we have to call him Fourth."
"...what else is it called...can he be like us?"
"Actually, Master probably doesn't want to call him..."
Chen Yuan frowned slightly. When he saw the three of them lingering for a moment and then turned away, he quickly opened the door and chased after them. On the other side of the courtyard, Team Leader Zhao was waiting at the door of the side courtyard. Three donkey carts were loaded with food and belongings. It looked like they were ready.
Return to Funiu Town.
When the three apprentices came back, they didn't ask Chen Yuan if they wanted to go back together, so they asked the helper to drive away.
"Master!"
At this time, Chen Yuan also walked outside the side courtyard and stopped them, "Why didn't you call me back to Funiu Town?"
After coming to this world for a few months, Old Man Zhao was responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Although there was a relationship of interest, he did not let himself die outside after all. After getting along with him, apart from having a bad temper, he still had some affection.
The crazy old man followed his apprentice, and when he called him master, his eyes widened, he rolled up his sleeves and walked over, looking at the skinny old man up and down.
Leader Zhao watched Chen Yuan chase him out, and subconsciously stepped back, tremblingly took out a book bound with yellow thread from his arms, patted it to San'er beside him, and motioned for him to hand it over to Chen Yuan.
Then, he said with a smile: "Chen Yuan, I think you are ready to start teaching... You don't need to follow us back to the small place in Funiu Town. This book was passed down from the theater troupe. It contains some techniques for carving wood.
, take it and take a look, think of it as a gift from me to you."
After saying that, he quickly urged the helper to drive the car, called the three apprentices and left quickly, walked out of the streets in the side yard, and quickly disappeared among the pedestrians on the long street.
Chen Yuan looked at the book in his hand, feeling suddenly empty in his heart. He looked back at the Liu Mansion for a while.
'The business here is over, it's time to say goodbye.'
He called his master, who was still looking around in the streets, and returned to the Liu Mansion to pack his bags. When Mrs. Liu heard that Chen Yuan was leaving, she quickly came from the backyard with her son, but Chen Yuan had already decided to leave, so how could he stay?
The old woman had no choice but to have someone prepare a cart and hitch it to the old cow. She watched the figure who got on the cart and drove away slowly, waving her whip, until she reached the intersection of the street.
Looking at the long and complicated street, the oxcarts and women moving away from each other among the pedestrians, Liu Boyuan clasped his hands and bowed in a bow.
"My benefactor, slow down!"
…
"Where are you going..."
The sky was slightly tilted, and the old cow swung its tail and pulled the carriage slowly through the lively market. Chen Yuan held the whip and looked at the figures coming and going around, feeling a little confused.
I wanted to ask the master who was sitting in the cart, but the crazy old man was holding a few ingots of silver, tossing them around in his hands like a juggler, and he was really excited.
'Buy some wood carving tools first... carve some first and have a look!'
After making up her mind, Chen Yuan went to several grocery stores along the market, chiseled, hammered, whittled, planed... and threw a dozen items into the truck compartment, and then prepared to leave the city.
After passing the intersection in front, a carriage came towards us. As they passed by, Chen Yuan was joking with his master, but suddenly the smile on his face faded.
Since he started practicing qi, his five senses have been sharp. In the carriage that just passed by, words that ordinary people couldn't hear came to his ears one by one.
"The Li family's house is so big... Haha, the whole family is dead like this, and it's so cheap for me, a virgin daughter-in-law. My cousin is really amazing."
"What's so great about it? Haha, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to do anything against these two families. Who told me that since the county took office, they have been searching so hard... In a few days, when the Li family's affairs are in peace, we can take action again
Liu family, an old woman, a sick young man...hehe, come and let me pinch you."
"Hate……"
The woman seemed to be clinging to the man's arms. After a few twists and turns, she stopped moving and still let the other man take his hands up and down. She blushed and panted slightly, and said softly: "Then the Liu family...how should uncle handle them?"
"Liu Boyuan accidentally killed someone, which resulted in more than ten murders. This county must give an explanation to the family of the deceased, right?"
"Cousin, you are so bad..."
The carriage turned far away at the end of the street and disappeared from Chen Yuan's sight. The crazy old man on the carriage waved his hand in front of his eyes and stretched his neck to look around, "Disciple, what are you looking at?"
I don't know what I thought of, so I pushed my hair back and looked at the passing woman on the street with a serious expression.
"Have you fallen in love with some girl? Don't be shy, you are just like my teacher. She has a majestic appearance and majestic appearance. You can just punch her in the face and not capture her. If I'm sorry, my teacher will tell you.
Point to me, which one is it?"
Chen Yuan smiled.
"No, it's because the disciple suddenly discovered that some things have not been completed. Let's leave after we finish them."
