"I've always talked about conquering demons and cultivating immortals. Now it's better. I'll become a ghost first, haha!"
Chen Yuan sat under the eaves, looking at his hands and feet. He had never felt such a state of soul leaving the body. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been looking for a way to survive.
But Chen Yuan wasn't so anxious, and even touched around curiously, but couldn't feel anything except a ball of yin energy that showed the outline of his body.
Then I tried to check the mana in my body, but it was empty, with no sign of mana at all.
"I have forgotten that all my cultivation is in the physical body... Right now, I am just a soul, not a normal death, and the magic power cannot be taken away. So where is my body? Don't let me burn it."
Chen Yuan stood up and looked back, vaguely feeling a familiar connection. Following the feeling, she came to the statue of him. There was no painting, just ordinary stone carvings. When it fell into his eyes, a layer of golden light bloomed faintly. When he touched his fingertips, there was something
A feeling of closeness and gentleness, as if it belonged to him.
Imperial seal?
The true king who appears spiritually?
That's right, there is no living person of Zhenjun. He probably knows that he is dead. Combined with the previous killing of Hu, the emperor gave himself a new edict. This is also... huh?
Chen Yuan's attention fell behind the statue. There was a difference of two feet between the altar and the shrine behind it. It was flat and flat, but the floor tiles were obviously newly laid. He put his hand on the floor tiles, and a familiar feeling suddenly emerged.
.
The body is underneath, still contained in a coffin.
I tried to drill down, but there were several rays of light meandering out, and a tingling sensation came up from under the floor tiles. It was the golden exorcism talisman of Tianshi Mansion.
"In other words, people from the Tianshi Mansion will come later and take my body back to Luodu?"
Chen Yuan frowned slightly: "Why do you need to seal it with a talisman? Are you afraid that my body will transform into a corpse?"
While looking at the statue and thinking about it, a breath of strangers came from outside. In the dark night, the dim light of the lantern flickered. A slightly stooped man entered the ancestral hall carrying a lantern and put it on the ground beside the door to store it.
In the box of incense candles, there were several sticks of incense burning.
"Benefactor, light the incense."
The man walked to the statue of the god, looked up at the statue that was still waving its sleeves and casting spells. He held a long incense in both hands and paid tribute. He inserted the incense burner, turned around and waved towards the door, "Yu'er, come in quickly and give it to the real king."
Incense."
At the door of the ancestral hall, there was indeed a little man looking timidly at his father.
After hearing the words, he crossed the threshold and came to the man's side. Looking at the tall statue opposite, he pulled his father's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Dad, who is he?"
"He, he is your savior. Hurry, kneel down and kowtow three times to the True Lord. I wish you a long life and a safe life."
Chen Yuan naturally recognized that man, it was Xu Huaiyu, why was he here?
"Xu Lieutenant?" Just as he shouted out, he suddenly remembered that the other party couldn't hear him, but the man over there was still stunned for a moment, as if he felt something, and looked around.
"Dad, after kowtowing three times, can we go back?"
"Well, let's go."
His son's words interrupted Xu Huaiyu's doubts. He nodded, hunched his waist slightly, picked up the lantern on the ground, and called out: "Be careful of the threshold." Then he led his son out of the ancestral hall.
Chen Yuan followed, and saw several tile-roofed houses in the direction the father and son passed. Mrs. Xu, whom she had met in Linjiang, was waiting for the father and son to come back at the door. On the side, there were several girls, smiling and talking, or
Chase and fight until the whole family returns to the house.
The dim yellow oil lamp cast silhouettes of people on the window lattice, and plain words came from inside.
"Madam, you followed me here, and you don't have so much good food and clothing in the future. Do you feel any complaint in your heart?"
"What are you talking about, husband? Marry a chicken and follow the dog. Marry a crab and walk sideways. I think life like this is not bad. When my husband went to war, I was worried every day. Now I don't worry anymore.
, I can look at you and the children every day, and I feel indescribably at ease in my heart... As for life, the mansion in Linjiang has been sold, which is enough for us to live here. It is the concubine who came here these two days.
Bian, why do you feel that there is something wrong with your husband?"
"...Madam, do you still remember the master who saved our Yu'er when we were near the river?"
"Remember."
There was silence in the room for a moment, and Xu Huaiyu said softly: "Half a month ago, my husband passed away. It was the Taoist priests from the Tianshi Mansion who brought him back and buried him in this temple. I have been feeling sad for my husband for the past half month. Seeing you,
I dare not tell you, for fear that there is something in the temple..."
"I can't do that. The master had a kind heart when he was alive. I feel that even if he passes away, he should still be a kind soul. I will offer him a stick of incense tomorrow morning."
"Um."
…
Chen Yuan listened outside the window for a long time, with complicated thoughts in her heart. She never expected that Xu Huaiyu came here to hold temple blessings, and also brought his wife and children who were far away in Linjiang, just to repay his kindness.
He turned around silently and went to look behind the temple. When he saw the bullock cart parked there, his face finally showed joy. Even the old cow was there, lying on the grass that Xu Huaiyu had built for him.
I was dozing in the shed, and I seemed to feel something. I opened my eyes suddenly, blinked a few times in disbelief, and suddenly let out a "moo" sound, and jumped up from the haystack, lifting the roof of the shed.
, screeching his hoofs, he rushed towards Chen Yuan.
When Chen Yuan saw that it could see him, he felt equally happy. He quickly raised his hand to touch it. He also wanted to rub the huge head there, but it passed directly through his outstretched palm and body.
'Master...Master has turned into a ghost?'
The old cow opened his mouth in surprise and could not close it. He turned around and called out to the carriage with his demonic power: "Old Wang, come out!"
After a moment, a long oval face weakly poked out. It seemed that the thunder before had done great damage to him, and it took him half a month to recover.
They were acquainted with each other in private. When Lao Niu called him, he half-hidden his body from the wooden altar and leaned out of the carriage. Before asking, he saw the sinister figure over there, and his ghost eyes suddenly widened.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He hurriedly floated out, and his slender body knelt on the ground: "Wang Zhaoyuan pays homage to the true king!"
"stand up."
Still seeing someone to talk to, the smile on Chen Yuan's face never broke. Unfortunately, now that he has lost all his magic power, he still doesn't know if he can suppress the bull and the ghost. But after a moment, he felt relieved.
The ghost was still as respectful as before, accompanying me and talking about what had happened in the past half month.
"The fat Taoist priest left with Taoist Priest Yuchen from Tianshi Mansion a few days ago. Before leaving, he came to the ancestral hall to pay homage to the True Monarch. He cried and said that when he returned to Tianshi Mansion this time, he would study Taoism with all his heart and serve for the future.
You take revenge!"
"Revenge? I remember I was struck to death by thunder... Can he still cause trouble to God?"
In fact, this sentence was a joke by Chen Yuan. When he heard that Sun Zhengde wanted to avenge him, even a ghost could feel the warmth. The two of them talked about the relationship between employer and employer, but in reality they already had a brotherly relationship.
.
Knowing that the fat Taoist was fine, Chen Yuan felt relieved. Under Wang Zhaoyuan's rambling words, he drifted to the car, looked at the still spotless wood carvings, and bowed to them, but there was no movement.
"True Lord, that day when you faced the thunder, they all flew out and gathered around you to resist the thunder. The younger ones thought that the immortal soul of True Lord might be blessed by these gods.
"
Wang Zhaoyuan naturally had some knowledge after having done evil things. At this time, his words also awakened Chen Yuan.
"So, they were also affected by the thunder and fell into a state of silence temporarily?" After thinking about this, Chen Yuan also kowtowed to all the wood carvings in the car one by one, "Zhaoyuan, wait a moment, you will put these gods
Everyone has moved under my statue, how can I enjoy this incense to myself?"
"yes!"
"Since I am the true king of this temple, from now on you will work as a ghost here and listen to my orders!"
Finally, he no longer had to stay in the wooden altar. Wang Zhaoyuan's oval grimace opened his big mouth with joy to reveal a mouth full of fangs, and he knelt down on the ground and knelt and worshiped. This was another errand.
As his forehead touched the ground, a faint golden streak fell on Wang Zhaoyuan's forehead, and even Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment.
But then I thought about it, he is the master of this temple, so it is reasonable and reasonable to consecrate a ghost.
"By the way, where is my ancient pillar?"
After looking around the car, except for the dark wood, the big pillar was nowhere to be seen. Wang Zhaoyuan stood up hurriedly on the ground and floated to the front as he spoke.
"Back to Zhenjun, it was Lao Niu who pushed the Wugu Pillar to the back of the hall for fear that someone would take it away."
Chen Yuan followed him, and sure enough he saw the wooden pillar that had fallen crookedly on the ground. I wonder if he felt Chen Yuan's breath, but he suddenly took root and grabbed the ground, and turned up straight. Countless stems crawled on the ground like feet.
He moved closer to Chen Yuan and swayed half of the column, obviously expressing his emotions.
Chen Yuan touched the pillar in vain and said with a smile:
"Now I have to stay in the temple to recuperate for a while. I promised to take you to see the world before, but I'm afraid it won't work. If you are still willing to stay, just take root and sprout next to the temple. If not, I will give you back.
Free to go elsewhere."
Wu Guzhu's reaction was also simple. The fibrous stem crawled swiftly to the open space beside the temple and took root. It suddenly grew out of the ground and stretched out many small branches and even many leaves. It became lush and leafy.
Swaying gently in the wind.
It's just that the leaves have all kinds of strange shapes, which make them look quite weird.
Everyone is still there, which is what makes Chen Yuan the happiest place in his heart. It's a pity that only his master is missing. However, avenging him, destroying most of the Canglan Sword Sect, and killing the enemy with his own hands is the greatest limit.
"When I rediscover the way of spiritual practice, I will pay a visit to the city god here. I wonder if I can ask him to find out about the master's soul."
Thinking about this, Chen Yuan returned to the ancestral hall and watched the statue of the god fly over lightly. The moment it merged with the statue, the lifeless stone sculpture suddenly became lifelike.
…
The golden morning sun slowly opened as the temple door opened, pouring in and shining on the stone statue of the altar. The woman who was preparing to burn incense and clean the statue was slightly trance-like when she saw the statue, as if seeing a living person. Then she looked at the statue.
The platform was filled with wood carvings, and I hurriedly turned around and ran to call my husband.
At this time, Xu Huaiyu stared blankly at the big tree rising by the side of the temple. In his impression, it was clearly not there last night. When he got closer and touched the figure carvings carved on the tree, his eyes were filled with tears unconsciously.
Wet and red.
"benefactor……"
"Husband!"
The woman ran over quickly and was shocked when she saw the big leafy tree. However, she still told her husband about what happened in the ancestral hall. Xu Huaiyu immediately ran into the hall and looked at the lifelike trees.
Statues of gods and wooden sculptures standing below.
He called his wife to him.
"The benefactor is still here... He should be telling us that we should also erect these wooden statues in the temple!"
Not long after, a big tree suddenly grew in the Zhenjun Temple, and the story that the statue came to life overnight spread throughout the city. For a time, the small ancestral hall was overcrowded.
Many people who had come to worship were excited to tell people around them about how efficacious this place was. For several days, people came and went in front of the temple to worship. The big tree was also decorated with red colors as a sacred tree to worship.
Some people even inquired about some things about Zhenjun during his lifetime, and set up wood carving plays to sell or perform there to attract passing pilgrims, gradually forming a grand scene like a temple fair.
Chen Yuan stood in front of the temple and looked at the lively and complicated scene. He was smiling when suddenly there was a child standing there blankly next to him, looking over.
The child looked at the statue inside, and then at the figure in front of him. He suddenly covered his mouth, widened his eyes, and couldn't help shouting: "The statue is alive!"
Turn around and run.
