Chapter 13 The Strange Old Taoist

The servant who was guarding the door saw that the old Taoist immortality had outstanding temperament and had already come forward and respectfully introduced him into the door.

After the old Taoist walked in, everyone started talking and talking.

"Can you think this old Taoist?"

"I think it's okay. This old Taoist looks like an immortal who has attained enlightenment. It's not easy to deal with a little devil."

"I don't think it's necessary. If you look like an immortal, you don't mean you are an immortal. You look hypocritical, but you actually cheat many times."

"That's right, I was right. When I went to Guzhou City to visit relatives the year before yesterday, I happened to see a liar being interrogated, and he looked like a handsome man."

"The liar is different from this. Mr. Zhu's family is really haunted. Who dares to go without any real ability? Do you dare?"

"I think this old man has real skills. Have you noticed that he only wore single clothes on this weather. Although it is late spring now, the terrain here is high and the weather is cold. At least he has to wear a jacket."

"Indeed, I saw that his face was red and he didn't look cold at all."

"Is there any ability to wear single clothes? Isn't there anyone here wearing single clothes?"

As soon as these words were said, everyone's eyes focused on Chen Qian, who turned out to be wearing only one garment.

"It's also possible. Didn't the old Taoist call him some 'Daoist' just now?"

However, everyone obviously scoffed at what he said, and turned around to continue discussing the old Taoist.

Chen Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was probably because everyone regarded him as a poor boy who couldn't afford to wear clothes. If he hadn't had his clothes clean, he would have been regarded as a little beggar.

"He said he set up a stall at the entrance of Chenghuang Temple tomorrow. Are you going?"

"Of course, go. Why don't you go? Didn't you listen to him? He doesn't charge money, but he has money to give it to us."

"And he also took some weird things. If you have anything at home that you don't know the purpose, just take it over. Maybe he will fall in love with you!"

"I'll go too. There's a bowl at home that seems like a treasure. I'll take it to him and I might get rich."

"Just that broken bowl in your house? Let's take a break. Isn't it the dog bowl you stole from the master's house when you were a servant?"

"roll!"

"My second aunt has been coughing recently, and the teacher in the clinic cannot cure her. She is worried. I have to tell her quickly."

"My mother's legs and feet are a little uneven recently. I'll take her to see it tomorrow."

The crowd gradually dispersed in a noisy manner.

Chen Qian glanced at the Zhu family's gate a few times, and then walked away.

Chen Qian was walking slowly on the street while thinking about the old Taoist affairs: "The old Taoist greeted me as soon as he arrived in front of everyone. Moreover, according to Yu Tong, the word "Fellow Taoist" seems to be a common name among those who practice Taoism. It seems that he recognized me as a monk. In addition, he was wearing single clothes and was not afraid of the cold, and he dared to catch ghosts. Most of the time, he was also a monk."

"He seems to have asked me to meet at Chenghuang Temple tomorrow, or not?" Chen Qian was a little worried.

If he followed his thoughts, he would naturally go, because the old Taoist looked like a fairy-like god. Except for not flying in the clouds and fog, it was almost exactly the same as the image of a god in his mind.

However, what Taoist Ding said in the jade tube that he had been robbed and killed by the spiritual herb several times left a deep impression on him. In addition, his father also told him to be careful in everything and be cautious in his mind, so he was still very cautious about the invitation of this strange Taoist priest.

But after thinking about it for a while, he decided to go to the appointment:

First, he felt that there must be many people in the City God Temple tomorrow. I believe that even if this old Taoist had any intention of him, he would not kill people in public; second, he was a three-level cultivator, and there was nothing good that could be worthy of others' bad intentions. Of course, the gourd was undoubtedly a good thing, but it was in his dantian and could not be seen by others; third, he felt that his divine consciousness and magic power had been strengthened by the gourd, and the casting time of the fireball Technique was fast and powerful. If he really wanted to fight with the old Taoist, he might not have the power to fight back.

Moreover, Chen Qian felt that if he did not dare to seize this opportunity because of fear, he would probably not dare to contact other monks next time. Even if he went to Qixia Mountain, he might not dare to meet the sage master. If this were the case, he would not be able to enter the world of immortal cultivation, let alone advance to the foundation building stage, so he finally decided to go there.

However, although he had decided to go to the appointment, Chen Qian still reminded himself to be fully prepared before going there.

After making up his mind, Chen Qian's mood was relieved, so he found an inn in the town to stay.

After entering the guest room, Chen Qian meditated and used his skills until he replenished the mana consumed on the road. Then he went to the lobby downstairs for dinner and asked the waiter about the location of the Chenghuang Temple, and walked there.

The Chenghuang Temple is on the east side of the town and is not far from the inn. Chen Qian just walked casually and only took a cup of tea.

A main road in the middle of Huangshi Town runs across the east and west, and the Chenghuang Temple is located on the north side of the east top of this road, which can almost be considered outside the town.

The temple faces north and south, without a mountain gate or a yard. The main hall gate faces directly to the main road, but it is more than ten feet away from the main road, and a piece of open space is formed in the middle.

Chen Qian thought that the old Taoist said that the city god temple should refer to this open space.

The City God Temple looks a bit dilapidated and the incense is not strong either. There are only two or three pilgrims in the temple.

Chen Qian slowly walked into the main hall of Chenghuang Temple, observed it for a while and then went to the back hall, and then walked around the temple for a while, and he knew it.

There are only two houses in this temple. Not far from the main hall is the back hall. It is called the back hall, but it is actually just the place where the temple Zhu sleeps. There are some farmlands to the north of the back hall, and there are a forest in the east, and there are several thatched houses in the south through the open space and the main road. There are also fields behind the thatched houses, but there are no trees in the distance.

Although Chen Qian decided to go to the appointment, he was still planning to observe the old Taoist for a while tomorrow before contacting him. He came here tonight, just to check the spot in advance. If there is any accident, there will be a way out. Now the terrain is almost done, and only one can hide himself and observe the old Taoist's position.

Originally, he considered hiding on the beam of the main hall so that the spiritual consciousness could cover the open space and would never be seen by the old Taoist. However, if he only used spiritual consciousness to observe, he was not used to it, and if he was indoors, there would be many obstacles to escape, so he was not very satisfied and wanted to find a better place.
