The night wind caressed the mountain forest, and two rays of Dharma light came from the west, one after the other, and fell at the foot of the mountain. The light flashed and revealed a figure. Chen Yuan walked straight up the stone steps with one hand in hand.
Han Youniang followed silently. Regarding the back of the man in front of her, she felt unspeakably complicated. In the few times she had been in contact with him, no matter what he said or did, he was not that evil person. What he did was also learned from the master's uncle.
She had heard some stories about it, but the hysterical ferocity and tearing off the senior sister's head with her own hands made her feel more and more confused.
In fact, it was senior sister who was wrong all along?
"arrive."
While the woman was thinking about it, Chen Yuan in front of her stopped in front of the gate and raised her hand to knock twice. Han Youniang, who came from behind, stood aside and did not look at Chen Yuan. "No need to knock, just go in. There are only
A handyman is probably too frightened by me just now to open the door."
"It's okay to knock, at least the etiquette must be thorough."
Chen Yuan smiled and knocked on the door a few more times. Han Youniang finally couldn't help it and turned her head to look at him: "Have you always been like this?"
"It's always been the case." Chen Yuan lowered her hands. Of course she wouldn't say that treating others with courtesy is basic common sense for future generations, so she told her about her life in the theater troupe in a gentle tone, "If you don't follow etiquette, you won't treat others well.
Ping He, that would offend the guests. Being scolded by the class leader is a small thing. Deducting wages would be a big deal. If you don’t have money, you will be hungry, so... treat them with courtesy and get less meat, and you can still win.
If others like it, why not do it?"
The girl grew up in the sect. At that time, the master uncle Wang Xuanyi was still in charge. Apart from the difficulty of practicing swordsmanship, her life could be described as having no worries about food and clothing. In addition to her young age, her senior brothers and sisters all let her go and pampered her. Regarding the outside world,
I have almost no contact with ordinary people. Even though I am traveling around and seeing a lot, I rarely communicate with ordinary people or observe their lives.
Chen Yuan's simple and witty words really made her understand from the details that the lives of ordinary people in the world are not easy.
"Why are you telling me this? Because you killed my senior sister?"
Chen Yuan smiled, but did not answer. Instead, he looked at the door. At this time, the door creaked open.
It was the same young man who opened the door before. When he saw Chen Yuan, he was stunned for a moment. Then when he saw Han Youniang next to him, his expression suddenly changed and he was about to close the door. Before he could touch him, Han Youniang opened the door lightly and out of thin air.
, the shocked man stumbled back two steps, and then was pulled back again, but this time he was standing in front of Chen Yuan.
"Don't be afraid, little brother, she won't hurt you."
The man was shocked and flew back before, but he was pulled back by this gentleman. While he was shocked, he also knew who was safer to approach. He approached the other party obediently, and said with a cup of his hands: "This gentleman, you guys are late at night.
I’m here to visit, but what’s the matter with my Taoist priest?”
[To be honest, I have been using Changing Source to read books and catch up on updates recently. Changing Source can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huann. It can be used on both Android and Apple.]
Chen Yuan smiled and returned the favor.
"I traveled around with this girl, and when I came here I heard that there is a monk in this temple who is very good at making talismans and healing the nearby villagers. I came here specifically to pay a visit and asked my little brother to help spread the word."
The man was quite at a loss when he saw this. He knew that this gentleman was an expert in the world, but he did not expect to be treated with such courtesy. He nodded repeatedly and made a request, "Sir, please... girl, come over here."
"It's windy in the mountains. Come in and wait for a while. I'll go find the Taoist priest right now."
….
After saying that, the man walked quickly, leading Chen Yuan and the two of them to wait under the eaves of one side of the dormitory, and then ran to the small hall in front.
"Is this the etiquette you're talking about?" Han Youniang seemed a little disdainful, "It's better to stay here and wait for the breeze. It's better to go directly to the palace. It's a monster or a human, good or evil. It's straightforward."
"That's why I want to teach you."
By this time, the smile on Chen Yuan's face had disappeared and was replaced by seriousness, as if he was really a teacher. Han Youniang was startled by his sideways gaze. After looking at each other for a moment, she felt something in her heart.
Sisi was timid and did not dare to look directly at her anymore.
"I need your teaching, don't I have a master?"
When the woman turned in one direction with the cold jade sword in her arms,
The young man who went to the small hall had already come back and said breathlessly: "Sir, my Taoist Priest is doing meditation in the hall. When I heard about your visit, I wanted to invite you two into the hall to talk."
"Hmph, it seems that someone's courtesy has not been reciprocated, so he has to go there in person."
When Han Youniang seized the opportunity, she couldn't help but sarcastically try to cover up the timidity she had just shown. Somehow, she just didn't want to lose face in front of Chen Yuan. She probably wanted to fight for the mountain gate, or to vent her anger for the dead senior sister.
.
However, Chen Yuan didn't seem to hear it. He just smiled at the busboy and went straight to the only main hall of the Taoist temple. He burned incense and birds, and the oil lamp was dim. When he walked to the door of the hall, he could hear people chanting Taoist scriptures inside.
sound.
The door creaked open, and Chen Yuan led Han Youniang across the threshold. Warmth surrounded her, driving away the dampness and coldness on her body.
"I'm sorry that Dao Huayu can't stand up to greet you."
The old Taoist priest on the futon, with his back to the two of them, lowered his head and whispered. Chen Yuan went over and raised his hands, smiling: "It seems that the Taoist priest is still busy."
"There are hundreds of people every day. How can they finish it in an instant? On the contrary, this gentleman is very popular and has the status of a god. Why doesn't he meditate in his own temple to take care of the people, but he is running around? Especially here in Pindao."
"Because I have more important things down here. If I finish them, the people I will take care of will no longer be in a corner."
The old Taoist priest sitting on his back nodded slightly: "It makes sense."
"What riddles are you talking about?" Han Youniang was confused when she heard this. She stared at the back on the futon and said, "If you have anything to hide, you might as well just say it."
The old Taoist priest loosened the seal of the knot in front of his abdomen and opened his eyes slightly, "This female blessing master, haven't you learned enough lessons today?"
"It's just a plot by you. If it weren't for despicable means, do you think this sword in my hand can't kill you?"
The old Taoist priest did not see how vicious the woman was, but closed his eyes again.
"Girl, you are very powerful, and the sword in your hand is even more powerful. You must have traveled everywhere and killed many monsters along the way, right?"
In the dim yellow light of the swaying oil lamp, the figure of the Taoist priest was cast diagonally on the wall. It was a huge shadow with countless long legs, baring its teeth and claws under the light.
"The centipede spirit..." Han Youniang glanced at Chen Yuan beside her: "You said it's not a monster!"
As he spoke, the Taoist priest in front slowly stood up, brushed off the dust on his robe, turned around, and saw that his thin cheeks and forehead were covered with small blue and black lumps, densely packed and disorderly, which made people's scalp tighten.
numb.
….
next moment.
The mass trembled and broke open, and the eyes of different sizes were revealed inside. They rotated rapidly, and their intertwined eyes kept scanning the woman's body.
"What a disgusting monster!"
Qiang——
The cold jade sword made a sword cry. The moment it was unsheathed, a hand was suddenly waved away. The sleeve of the robe brushed the sword's head, and the sword was inserted back into the sheath. Han Youniang turned her head and looked angrily: "Chen Yuan!"
The old Taoist priest with many eyes on his forehead also turned his attention to Chen Yuan, "Sir, if you have anything else to say, why don't you go ahead and ask the poor Taoist for advice?"
Chen Yuan shook his head, with a gentle expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Me? I'm here to say thank you to the Taoist priest for the sake of the people here!"
Flipping his sleeves, Chen Yuan raised his hands and bowed before the woman's puzzled gaze.
"Sir, you can't do it!"
Demon Dao, who was at war with his sword, suddenly took a few steps forward and took Chen Yuan's hands: "Sir, he is a person of divine status. He is a simple man who is nothing more than a wild spirit. He does not deserve such a great gift."
Boom!
On the other side, Han Youniang clicked the scabbard of her sword, turned around and walked out: "I'm leaving, and I'm going to be with the monster, so I can return..."
"Come back here!"
Chen Yuan stood up straight, his voice was like thunder, the temple was shaking and buzzing, and dust was rustling down. The old Taoist priest's face showed horror, which showed that Chen Yuan's cultivation level was much higher than that of the woman.
However, such etiquette makes people more awe-inspiring than those so-called famous sects and self-proclaimed monks.
Yao Dao sighed in his heart and couldn't help but stand up straight, standing to one side respectfully.
As for Han Youniang over there, her soul felt like it was about to jump out of her body due to this roar. She felt numb from head to toe, and it was difficult to take a step forward. For a moment, like a punished child, she bowed her head and came back, standing silently.
Go to the opposite side of the old road.
Chen Yuan had a serious face and looked at her for a while before speaking.
"Do you know why I thanked the Taoist Priest? Because... all the lifespan I borrowed belongs to him! He used his own lifespan to heal the people here, so shouldn't he be treated as a 'thank you'?!"
The woman raised her face and looked at the old man who was as skinny as a stick and had a terrifying face, unable to say a word.
