Outside the quiet Zhenjun Temple, Lao Niu lay on the eaves and yawned. He blew out a breath and lifted the sleepy toad in front of him into the darkness.
Not far away, there was light shining through the window, and there was a noise coming from it.
The crazy old man teased the boys and girls with two puppets and made noisy noises beside the bed. The fat Taoist held a big bowl, touched the bottom of the bowl with his quick head and quickly put the food into his mouth, while eating, he looked at the two
The boss who was chewing and talking slowly and praying in the temple.
"After the kings entered the capital, the situation calmed down. The soldiers and horses that originally belonged to Prince Qing were later divided equally among the other princes... Fortunately, they did not embarrass the believers of Zhenjun Temple."
"troubled you."
"It's better than going through life and death on the battlefield, only to be disliked in the end." Xu Huaiyu looked at his wife who was helping to pour the wine, raised his glass and toasted Chen Yuan again, and said with a smile: "If there is no true king, I'm afraid that in five years
He died on the battlefield before, and his wife and children at home were deprived of his family, leaving him alone and helpless. Now he is content with his wife, his eldest daughter, and his second daughter got married last year, and now only one son and one daughter are left by his side.
Live a solid and comfortable life.”
"Well, I feel relieved to have you here."
Chen Yuan raised his glass and clinked it with him. Ever since he came back from Canglan River, he had opened up his mind. Ordinary people live less and less with each passing day, and the days when they can get together become less and less. It is rare to have a drink on weekdays, and he also spends time with him.
Xu Huaiyu drank some, but in his heart he did not regard the other party as a temple blessing, or even as a subordinate.
"...But I went into the city today and found that the capital is not that peaceful. If you stay with me for a long time, I naturally don't want anything to happen to you and your family.
After a while, I will build another temple. From now on, you can go there with your sister-in-law and your nephews and nieces without having to worry."
"Build another one?"
Xu Huaiyu hung his wine glass and looked blankly at Chen Yuan across from him. He had grown much older, but Zhenjun's appearance was exactly the same as when he first arrived in Lajiang County six years ago, and had not changed.
Among the immortals, it would only take half a day to build a temple to the true king... Thinking of this, Xu Huaiyu smiled and asked his mother-in-law to fill the glass with wine again, then stood up and toasted to each other.
"The true king is concerned about us and other believers, and I am deeply grateful!"
Chen Yuan laughed and touched the wine glass in his hand. A gust of wind blew outside. The toad, which had finally crawled back, just stood up and was about to go back to the old cow to settle accounts. Suddenly, it was blown by the wind and flew away again.
The ground, with its two webs crossed on its chest in the wind, with an expression of "that's it again", rolled in the wind and hit the wall with a snap.
The old cow under the eaves raised his head, opened his eyes, then quickly buried his head and used his demonic power to make a sound.
"Master, a group of ghosts are here."
In the room, Mrs. Xu is a woman, and the female zodiac sign is Yin. The wind blew in, making her tremble with coldness. Fortunately, Chen Yuan raised her palms slightly, and flicked her sleeves outward, and the cold wind was instantly blocked outside the door.
"Zhenjun has just come back. Where did this ghost come from to look for trouble?"
Xu Huaiyu hadn't encountered a ghost for a long time. He didn't know about the underworld. He thought it was because the Zhenjun Temple was rebuilt to allow the ghosts in the capital to escape. Now that he encountered one, he was naturally not afraid. Let's not talk about Chen Yuan's presence.
Next to him, the dark wood in his hand is a real magical weapon, and most ghosts would not dare to get close to it.
He stood up and was about to go to the dark wood at the head of the altar. Chen Yuan smiled and raised her hand to ask him to sit down. "You are here to see me. You also know me."
With that said, Chen Yuan stood up and opened the door. In the distance, he saw a mist rolling towards the paved street in the distance. In the mist, there was a white figure of Yu Dao. He was extremely tall and had a gloomy face, as if he was stepping on someone's feet.
He was swaying like stilts, with several circles of iron chains wrapped around his arms and long sleeves as he was dragged along, making a jingling sound.
"Wang Zhaoyuan, welcome the true king back."
The misty and gloomy voice came along with the cold wind, and a smile appeared on Xu Huaiyu's face. Sure enough, he knew him. When Zhenjun left, he often interacted with the ghosts living in the temple, and occasionally they would do some domestic things in the temple.
Unfortunately, the temple was later destroyed and we never saw them again.
Immediately, Xu Huaiyu asked his wife to go to the back room for a while, and then followed Zhenjun out.
"True Lord!"
Wang Zhaoyuan led all the ghosts in the temple to ride on the evil wind. When they saw the figure under the eaves, they all knelt down and worshiped. Chen Yuan nodded to them, gently raised his sleeves, and blew over with a breeze, blowing away more than a hundred ghosts out of thin air.
Help him up.
"Come here and invite me to Senluo Palace?"
"The true king has a clear warning. I hold the order of the holy king and come here to invite you."
"Well, I happen to be going too. You guys stay outside for a while."
After saying that, Chen Yuan walked into the room, summoned the fat Taoist, Xu Huaiyu and his master, and told them to take good care of his body. Then, he lay down on Xu Huaiyu's bed, and the curtains of the bed suddenly swayed in the wind.
, as if dazzled, a phantom silhouette sat up from Chen Yuan and walked straight out the door.
"The soul has left the body?" Xu Huaiyu stepped half-foot into the monastic realm. He had dabbled in it to some extent over the years. Unfortunately, he didn't know how high the True Lord's realm was, so he just looked at this scene in horror.
Only the fat Taoist on the side knew that this was not the soul leaving the body, but an ordinary soul leaving the body, but he didn't reveal it. If he said it, wouldn't it be a way to undermine the boss? Will there be good consequences in the future?
Chen Yuan, who had already walked out of the dormitory, was unaware of the two people's conjectures. He came to the group of ghosts and said: "Lead the way."
Then he walked in front of Wang Zhaoyuan and was surrounded by ghosts. He walked in a white mist and quickly disappeared into the streets of the city. He passed through the inaccessible streets and alleys, walked through the closed city gates, and came to the Chenghuang Temple in the suburbs.
The city emperor had been waiting for a long time, leading a group of city emperor officials to wait at the foot of the stone steps.
"Emperor Qu Cheng doesn't need to be so grand."
"The True Lord is here, how can I neglect you? The True Lord is here to invite you."
Emperor Qu Cheng knew why Chen Yuan came here this time, so he didn't reminisce too much. He walked to the deep black hole behind the Chenghuang Temple that he had led the way to before stopping.
"Emperor Qu Cheng, just go and do your work and ignore me."
Chen Yuan bowed his hands, said goodbye to the city prince, and threw his soul into the black well below.
Under the same night, the palaces of the kings in the city were brightly lit. King Lu, King Yang, King Hui, and King Ba, who had been sleeping, summoned the messenger in their respective sleeping quarters.
In almost the same tone and astonished look, he asked: "Seriously?"
"Back to Your Highness, the news is absolutely true. In the evening today, our people saw with our own eyes a group of Yellow Turban believers kneeling down to a man with the same bullock cart and a crazy old man beside them."
"I guess by now, all the other princes and brothers have also known about it. Prepare your car immediately, I am going to the True King Temple!"
In the courtyards of several palaces, there was a flurry of excitement. Kings in different robes, under the puzzled eyes of servants in the palace, dressed up and left the palace late at night, got on carriages and hurried away.
