Chen Yuan looked at the figure kneeling down, his eyes a little warm. After he came back, he didn't know whether he became sentimental or something, but when he saw his old friend, he felt a little sad in his heart, especially when facing the person in front of him.
"Huaiyu meets the true king!"
"Huai Yu..."
Chen Yuan whispered the other person's name softly, and the man slowly raised his face. If he could shed tears, Xu Huaiyu's face would probably be full of wet marks. Hearing Chen Yuan call his name, his lips trembled slightly.
"True Lord..."
When he called out softly, he was then helped up by Chen Yuan. Xu Huaiyu's appearance had changed drastically. He was no longer the tough man who had retired from the battlefield. Instead, he looked more like an old man with a face full of vicissitudes of life, and his hair was graying.
He has deep-set eyes. He is just such a person. He built the True King Temple with his own hands and worked hard for decades.
Chen Yuan looked at him, let go of his arms, took two steps back, opened his sleeves left and right, raised his hands, and bowed down.
"Chen Yuan thanks Huaiyu!"
"Zhenjun, what are you doing?!" Xu Huaiyu hurriedly went up to help him, but was stopped by Mingguang on the side. The old Taoist smiled and said: "This is a debt Daoyou Chen owes you, and he must pay this gift.
"
Xu Huaiyu raised his sleeves to wipe away the non-existent tears, and just looked at Chen Yuan and bowed to him, and then hurriedly shouted: "Zhenjun, let it go, let it go, Zhenjun and I will not talk about who owed whom during his lifetime."
.”
With that said, he pulled up the chair and asked Chen Yuan to step down quickly. He also sat aside and offered the tea that Chen Yuan had put down before with both hands. Chen Yuan may not understand his respect, but the bright light on the side is clear.
Throughout his entire life, Jun Guan has long regarded the statue of the True Monarch on the altar as his lifelong belief, just as the old Taoist worshiped the Heavenly Master in the beginning.
After sitting down again, one person and one ghost briefly exchanged some common words to calm down their emotions. Chen Yuan then opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Actually, in addition to looking for Mr. Taishan Mansion this time, there is another thing related to Huaiyu."
Xu Huaiyu sat next to him and listened quietly.
"...Before I came to Mount Tai, I passed through a place and met a Taoist temple in the mountain. There was an old Taoist priest in the temple who sacrificed himself to heal the injuries of others. Later I learned that he was a centipede transformed into a spirit."

"Oh?" Mingguang showed doubts, "A demon thief invaded the Taoist temple? Then what he did harmed the people within a hundred miles of radius? How does this matter have anything to do with Huaiyu?"
Xu Huaiyu trembled slightly and whispered: "It does have something to do with me. That demon... I know."
Just as Mingguang looked at Xu Huaiyu in shock, Chen Yuan continued with a smile: "Don't be so serious. This demon did not do any evil, but did some respectable things."
Looking at the two ghosts, Chen Yuan told the old centipede's deeds one by one. If he hadn't stayed in the mountains and passed on Xu Huaiyu's mantle, Chen Yuan might not have known what Xu Huaiyu had done.
And benefit the people around you.
Taoist Master Mingguang only knew about Xu Huaiyu's perseverance in the temple, and thought that this was what Chen Yuan worshiped. It turned out that there was a so-called "inheritance" behind it, which was a great merit.
"True Lord, the Taoist priest has exalted you."
Xu Huaiyu was a little embarrassed by what the two people said, and quickly raised his hands: "Actually, my time has come, and I feel that the centipede is not bad in nature, and it has been with me all year round and has been influenced by the scriptures, so it should be entrusted to me.
I taught him all the magic, but I didn’t expect that he would actually do it and continue to do so.”
"Don't be humble in the face of adversity. If you don't guide you to do good, and don't have your perseverance, how can you impress a monster?" Master Mingguang said with a smile.
"Actually, I learned all of this from the True Lord." Xu Huaiyu still had the same temperament as before, "The True Lord treats humans and monsters as equals, and I naturally treat the centipede the same way."
"So, it's me who deserves the most praise?"
Chen Yuan pointed at herself and said jokingly, which made the old Taoist and Xu Huaiyu stunned. Then the two ghosts reacted and laughed loudly. The laughter spread out of the house, and the ghost servants and officials passing by outside were all stunned.
This burst of laughter made everyone look at each other and at the closed doors and windows.
In the house.
The laughter gradually stopped, and Chen Yuan's words followed closely.
"I was deeply moved by what happened to Huaiyu, so I came to Yinsi. In addition to meeting Mr. Taishan Mansion, I just wanted to privately seek a way out for Huaiyu."
"A way out?"
Xu Huaiyu and Mingguang were a little confused. Chen Yuan looked at the former and said in a gentle voice: "Huaiyu fought for many years before his death, and then settled in a Taoist temple to perform temple blessings. His family suffered a lot and lived in poverty all his life. I think...
…I want you to be reincarnated, join a wealthy family in the next life, and enjoy the prosperity of the world."
"True Lord..." Xu Huaiyu stood up, and Mingguang on the side held his hand, pulled him back to his seat, and said: "What Taoist Fellow Chen said is not unreasonable. You were not born a monk, so you can have such a pious heart.
Having been with clay sculptures for a lifetime, you should be rewarded with blessings. Go to the peaceful world and enjoy the glory and wealth. It won't be too late to come back in the future."
Xu Huaiyu hesitated, and looked at Chen Yuan for a moment: "Actually... I don't feel bitter, but I feel a little sorry for my old wife and several children. They followed me from that world to Mimi Lake and here again.
In this world, we have suffered a lot and lived in poverty. But now that my old wife has been dead for decades, she has already been reincarnated. The children have grown old and died, and they have all gone to the places where they should go... There is no trace in my heart.
care……"
"This is a publicly funded tour."
Chen Yuan suddenly said something, suddenly destroying the heavy atmosphere, which made the two ghosts a little stunned. They knew what public expense meant, but they didn't quite understand it.
Chen Yuan unpacked the words: "I just went out to have some fun, and when I die, you still remember what happened now, so you don't have to worry about it now, right?"
"This this……"
Xu Huaiyu was startled by this proposal and was at a loss. Should he agree or not?
The old Taoist patted him on the shoulder: "It's such a good thing, why are you still hesitating? Of course I accepted it. Now I have no worries. When you are reincarnated and become a new person, won't you have worries again? What people say in this life, you have enjoyed the glory.
, it is also beneficial to spiritual practice.”
There were people nearby who were encouraging and explaining. Xu Huaiyu hesitated for a while, then stood up and bowed down to Chen Yuan.
Finally it was over, but Chen Yuan had something on his mind. He and the two ghosts chatted for a while, and after counting the time, it was almost time to leave. Sun Zhengde had been waiting in the Taishan Temple for who knows how long.
"Daozhang Sun has not seen him for many years. If Zhenjun is free, please ask him to come down, or I can go up to see him."
"If you go up there, I'm afraid you'll scare him half to death."
"Hahaha!"
Xu Huaiyu, Taoist Master Mingguang sent Chen Yuan outside the side compartment, and held up his hands with some reluctance. At this time, Taoist Master Mingguang suddenly came closer and whispered: "When you have time, you can also make arrangements with Pindao.
Let me also travel at public expense..."
"clear."
Chen Yuan smiled, said goodbye to the two ghosts, and turned around to go to the court. Now that she saw Xu Huaiyu and knew that he was intact, she felt much relieved.
