The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles.
Chen's mother missed and worried all day long, but suddenly she saw her son return. She was not surprised, but frightened, and she mistook him for a ghost.
After some explanation, Mother Chen finally believed that her son was really back. Chu Chen couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Fortunately, Chu Baiqing's appearance broke the mother and son's thoughts of separation after not seeing each other for many years. Especially after Chen's mother learned about Long's life experience, she was surprised and couldn't help but feel pity.
That night, Chu Chen stayed with Chen's mother all night long and talked about home affairs.
From Chen's mother, he learned about the current situation of his father and younger brother.
Chen's father, Chen Jiaxian, was named on the gold medal list and obtained the title of "Tongjinshi". After condensing a high-level literary mind, his Taoist cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. He finally broke through the seventh rank and entered the sixth rank of Taoist realm. In addition, he had meritorious service in governing the local area during his three-year term and was promoted to one level. , is already a sixth-grade official.
The younger brother Chen Pengju is even more amazing.
Born in the top three, Pianpian Tanhualang gathered the best cultural background. He broke through to the sixth rank in the three years of studying in the imperial capital. He was directly promoted from the sixth rank. He was promoted to another level when he was sent to the prefectures and counties. He is now the sixth rank. He is in charge of one side and has surpassed him. Father Chen's head.
Lao Chen was surpassed by all his children, and he couldn't stand up at home. When he showed off to his wife, he was not interested, for fear that his wife would use their children to block him.
There is really no sense of accomplishment and no interest in life.
Mother Chen and her son chatted about daily life, and when they talked about the letter from Father Chen, their faces were filled with a happy smile.
Until the next day, Chen's mother's smile did not diminish, which surprised everyone in the Chen family. They thought that their mistress had met a happy event.
...
Longling Mountain is where the Fire Dragon resides.
Chu Chen and Chu Baiqing rode on golden tigers, and under the astonished gazes of the people who were waiting for pills outside the mountain, they swaggered past the formation and rushed into the valley.
"How dare you, how could a monster break into my Fire Dragon Residence..."
Hu Lao roared, but halfway through his words, he faintly felt a familiar aura and was surprised. Chu Chen no longer held back his breath, smiled and offered his hand to Hu Lao.
"Lao Hu, I'm back."
Hu Lao's face showed joy. He was about to call "Ling Xiao boy", but when he caught a glimpse of Chu Chen's obscure and terrifying aura, he was slightly startled:
"Ling Xiao, you..."
Before Hu Lao finished speaking, two exclamations came from his ears. "Junior brother!"
Senior brother Ri Hun and senior sister Yue Po came excitedly, and the Fire Dragon Alchemist quietly appeared behind them. "I met the master"
Chu Chen bowed his hands.
Chu Baiqing knew the Fire Dragon Alchemist and respectfully saluted him as "Master", while Hu Dali respectfully addressed him as "Fire Dragon Patriarch." The entire valley suddenly became quite lively.
"Ling Xiao, what is your current Taoist practice? Why can't I see through you?" Mr. Hu felt itchy and couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Sun Soul and Moon Soul also noticed something was wrong and nodded in unison:
"Junior brother, what kind of breathing methods did you use when you returned to the Fire Dragon Residence? It's too outrageous." Chu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was about to explain a few words.
However, after listening to the words of the two disciples, the Fire Dragon Alchemist who was smiling at the side suddenly fell down, hating that iron cannot become steel:
"Two uneducated bastards, your junior brother is at the fifth level and has a super-level cultivation. You two are of the lowest level, and you have eyesight but don't recognize Lingyun Wood. It's really a disgrace!"
Sun Soul Moon Soul: "..
The next moment, Sun, Soul, Moon and Soul both looked at their junior brother with resentment on their faces, and the memories that had been buried for three years were swept back.
Chu Chen showed a harmless expression.
He did nothing, said nothing.
Chu Chen stayed at the Fire Dragon Residence for two days. The Fire Dragon Alchemist learned about Chu Chen's situation and supported him in traveling around the world. Before leaving, he gave him some guidance on alchemy practice, which benefited him a lot.
Hu Dali also received the guidance of Mr. Hu and gained a lot.
Chu Baiqing's harvest was the most practical. He was a little Taoist boy with red lips and white teeth, who was loved by everyone. After he came out of the Fire Dragon Residence, his bracelet fairy house was filled with elixirs that were valuable in the outside world, and he became rich overnight.
After visiting my mother and master, the Fire Dragon Alchemist,
, Chu Chen stopped visiting relatives and friends to avoid exposing his identity and getting into trouble.
Before leaving, he went to Diyuan Dragon Palace.
I heard from Mr. Long that Qingying's breakthrough to the realm of great supernatural power was very smooth and she had already overcome the bottleneck. However, the Dragon Clan's practice method is different. She hibernated and cultivated. It would take about a year and a half before Qingying could break through.
Chu Chen was afraid that Long Jun would give him advice if he disagreed, so he ran away without saying a word. The clouds travel all over the world, and the shadows reach three mountains.
Chu Chen carried the book box on his back, followed two little Taoist boys, raised a kitten, and embarked on a journey around the world. Just like when he first met his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping...
The world is vast, time is like water, spring goes and autumn comes again. "I'm selling sesame cakes, I'm selling sesame cakes!"
"Selling gourd skewers, fragrant and sweet, no charge if not delicious!"
On the streets of small towns, the shouts of vendors and footmen can be heard one after another, and various noises can be heard endlessly. Countless people are running around for a living, busy, chaotic but orderly.
However, on the busy street, a group of people suddenly gathered, and more and more people gathered around. From time to time, sad cries could be heard.
A middle-aged couple held a blue-faced, unconscious toddler in their arms, kneeling at the door of the pharmacy and begging:
"Doctor, please save my child. We are willing to spend all our wealth. Please do well. He is the only flesh and blood of our couple. "If we don't have the child, how will we live in the future? The young couple cried heartbrokenly, which made everyone sad.
When the neighbors heard this, they all felt sympathy and spoke for the middle-aged couple one after another. "Thank you, Doctor, for your superb medical skills. Please take a look again."
The medicine shop doctor shook his head, squatted down and lifted up the child's ankles, revealing two ferocious bloody eyes.
"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to save you. This little kid has been poisoned by snake venom. The poison spreads and invades the heart. I am powerless. At the moment, I can only go to the County Ghost and God Department to ask the immortal master for help. There is still a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, the County The city is so high and the mountain is so far away that I’m afraid the little kid won’t be able to make it through and will die on the way.”
When the middle-aged couple heard this, they cried more and more sadly. Passers-by around him shook their heads and sighed, expressing deep sympathy. "Let me save him."
Everyone went out looking for fame.
I saw a little Taoist boy, about seven or eight years old, holding a tiger-striped kitten in his hand and wearing a green Taoist robe, squeezing out of the crowd and shouting hello.
When everyone saw that it was a little Taoist boy whose fur had not yet fully grown, they thought it was some brat who was causing trouble, so they all waved their hands to stop him.
However, some thoughtful people’s eyes lit up and they said in surprise:
"Little Taoist Priest, where is your master? Priest, please be merciful and save the child. "It doesn't matter, I will take action."
The little Taoist boy waved his hand. He was eager to save people. Without saying a word, he made hand gestures, recited mantras, and wrote magic talismans with his eyes. In an instant, the three lights of the sun, moon and stars descended and turned into a golden talisman [Three Light Talisman]. Upon seeing this scene, the husband of the medicine shop, the middle-aged couple and the passers-by screamed in surprise.
Hearing the exclamations such as "little fairy" and "meeting a fairy master", the little Taoist boy smiled happily without saying a word. This is a great volume.
"Edict!
A [Three Light Talisman] sank into the child's body.
The comatose toddler's face soon gained a trace of color, and he woke up from his coma. However, the good times did not last long, and the young child soon passed out again, his face turned livid.
The little Taoist boy was stunned when he saw this, and when faced with everyone's questioning, he blushed anxiously. At this moment, a spiritual light flew from a distance and landed on the young child.
The next moment, the toddler suddenly stood up from his mother's arms, his face was rosy, and he was just as lively as usual. "You brat, he's not very good at his studies and loves to show off. Let's go. It's time to hit the road."
"Master, I'm here."
In an instant, everyone discovered that the little Taoist boy holding the cat had disappeared.
They all looked sideways and saw a Taoist priest and a little Taoist boy disappearing at the gate of the town and drifting away. "God, we met a god."
Suburban trails.
"Master, why doesn't my [Three Light Talisman] have your spirit?"
"If you are not sincere, how can the magic talisman be effective? Your cultivation level is higher than that of your senior brother, but your magic and magical powers are not reliable and unreliable.
Asking for a thorough explanation will naturally be ineffective when encountering difficult problems.
"I have worked very hard. I chant sutras and draw talismans every day. I am very diligent."
"That's right, senior brother, Bai Qingke has worked hard. It's too much for you to teach some obscure Taoist scriptures and magical powers that are difficult for others to understand."
"You bastard, senior fellow apprentice, what are you talking about? The spiritual fragrance will be gone in the next month." "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Senior brother, I was wrong..."
Chu Chen ignored it and strode toward the smoke curling up in the distant mountains. Before I knew it, more than a year had passed.
He took his apprentices Chu Baiqing, Xiao Guizai and Hu Dali to travel all over the country, visiting all the nine states in the middle-earth, including deserts, water towns, plateaus, hills, waterfalls...all the things in the world can be seen at a panoramic view.
The path he passed was mixed with worldly things and changed according to fate.
He once led his disciples to kill venomous snakes with flying swords in Daze, hung pots on the streets of busy streets to save lives and healed the wounded, and also enlightened and guided monks and Taoists, and supported younger generations of fellow practitioners.
Traveling in all directions, there are countless people.
There are no visitors three thousand miles away, and I have been in the clouds for seven hundred years. Penglai is filled with annexes, and the road turns into rubble and is filled with gold.
Although Chu Chen did not "fulfill the Tao", he did experience a baptism from body to soul. Take the nature of heaven and earth as your teacher, mix it with the worldly world, and refine your Taoist heart through the vast world of mortals.
After traveling around for more than a year, Chu Chen quietly transformed, and the [Xiao Wu Qi Chao Yuan] was completed, and the shadow of the king in his body shone brightly.
"Master is right. Traveling around really sharpens the body and mind, which is of great benefit to monks like us." Chu Chen murmured to himself, feeling very satisfied.
Although he has not broken through the realm of great supernatural powers, after traveling for a year and a half, he has immeasurable understanding of people, clear thoughts, harmonious minds, and successful sexual achievements.
The opportunity for breakthrough has not been met, but it is not far away.
These days, he can always feel the "Heart King" in his body, and there is a faint tendency to communicate with each other.
Perhaps, given a small opportunity, he can break through the bottleneck, meet with the Lord of Heart, and "hold the Lord of Heart in order to command all gods".
"Sir, are we back to Qingzhou? I seem to have been here before..."
The petite tiger jumped vigorously and followed the master and apprentice, looking around and asking curious questions.
Speaking of which, Hu Dali has been wronged for more than a year. In order not to scare the people, the dignified Immortal Court ordered the fifth-grade Dali Golden Tiger to transform into a kitten, pretending to be cute and good.
"Yes, this place is Qingzhou."
Chu Chen nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face, full of expectation.
"Dali Huzi, you really have no memory. Sister Ying'er is about to leave seclusion, and senior brother is rushing back."
The little devil had a look of disdain on his face. He remembered firmly when Sister Ying'er would be released from seclusion. He looked forward to it day and night, just hoping that Sister Ying'er would be happy to be released from seclusion. He waved his hand and rewarded it with countless fragrances.
Chu Chen was distracted by the little devil. He couldn't help but shouted:
"You bastard, you are a roundworm in my senior brother's belly. Who said that my senior brother is in a hurry to go back?"
Chu Baiqing was overjoyed when he heard that his adoptive mother was released from seclusion, and interjected: "Master, we have been here before, why don't we take a long journey and get to the county town to rest before the city gate closes after dark."
Chu Chen: "Okay!"
Little devil:
...
The sun sets.
On the vast plain, a city rose from the ground.
Chu Chen, Chu Baiqing, Hu Dali and their group soared into the clouds and landed on the outskirts of the county. They gathered their aura and turned into ordinary wandering Taoists and settled in the city.
In the evening, the gate of the city was very lively. People who had been busy all day filed into the city, and it was very crowded. Chu Chen and Chu Baiqing did not use any magic powers and silently followed the people.
After walking for about a hundred breaths.
The master and apprentice walked out of the crowd, and Chu Chen released his consciousness and searched for nearby inns. "Huh""
Chu Chen was surprised, and vaguely, his consciousness sensed a familiar aura. So, he moved to another street.
Not long after, the master and the disciple came to a beggar. Chu Chen looked surprised.
"Zhou Zijing, why are you here?
, and become a beggar? "
When the beggar heard the words, he raised his head suddenly. When he saw the familiar face, his dull eyes suddenly burst into light. He was so excited that he stood up suddenly and hugged Chu Chen's arm:
"Chu Du Guan, you really are Chu Du Guan..."
The man in front of him was none other than Zhou Zijing, whom Chu Chen had known when he was the governor of Yunlin—the scholar who had a fox wife and red sleeves.
Seeing Zhou Liaojing's heartbreak, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel curious.
When a man sheds tears, he doesn't shed them easily, but they are not sad yet.
At that time, Zhou Zijing was deeply in debt, had no hope of livelihood, and shed tears. It's so embarrassing right now.
Chu Chen has strong spiritual consciousness and spiritual eyes. He can see that Zhou Zijing has worked hard in his studies in the past few years. Now he is not white but has the reputation of being a "scholar". He has practiced Confucian cultivation methods. Unfortunately, he has been banned from cultivating his magic power. .
"Zhou Zijing, what's going on? Who have you offended to have your cultivation level banned?" Zhou Zijing was very excited when he heard this, but he thought of something and looked around him, feeling fearful in his heart.
Chu Chen's spiritual consciousness was powerful. With one glance, he immediately noticed that someone was peeping secretly and glanced at Hu Dali. "Sir, I'm going to capture him alive."
Hu Dali, who turned into a cat, knew his husband's thoughts and disappeared out of thin air.
Chu Chen performed the magic formula with his hand, and in an instant, the busy streets and alleys around him disappeared, and the surrounding area was completely white. "Zhou Zijing, tell me, what happened to you?"
After a moment of excitement, Zhou Zijing calmed down and said anxiously: "Guan Chu, my wife has been kidnapped again!"
Chu Chen was a little surprised, was he kidnapped again?
"Could it be Gu Aoyu from Qingyang Marquis Mansion who did it again?"
"It's him. The Cloud and Mist Water God framed and framed my wife to go to Yunwu Lake to steal heavenly materials and earthly treasures. How could she do such a thing if she is practicing her duty honestly?"
"I've been asking for help everywhere these days. As a result, the government, the Department of Ghosts and Gods, teachers, and friends immediately turned their backs upon hearing about the Qingyang Marquis Mansion. They said that those who are not from my race must have different hearts..."
Chu Chen frowned and asked:
"You didn't ask Fox Fairy Daiyan for help?"
"Empress Daiyan has broken through the Taoist line and is closed to life and death. I have no way to ask for help.
Perhaps he had encountered too many obstacles these days. Zhou Zijing was worried, and with a look of uneasiness on his face, he asked: "Chu Du is in charge, can you take care of it..."
