Chapter 140 Chen Huangpi Enters the City
Chapter 140 Chen Huangpi Enters the City
The alchemy room of Jingxian Temple.
The old Taoist in purple robe was sitting cross-legged in front of the Nine Dragons Refining Heaven Furnace.
Inside the alchemy furnace, purple fire surged.
It seems like it is refining something.
Chen Huangpi came out of the old temple, pushed open the door of the alchemy room excitedly, and this was the scene he saw.
The only thing missing was the Golden Horn.
This made him very worried.
Although Jinjiao is a little bit mean.
But he is still reliable at critical moments, and the credit goes to him.
It seemed as if he could see what Chen Huangpi was thinking.
The purple-robed Taoist comforted him, "Don't worry, Huangpi'er, Jinjiao will be fine. Your master is doing this for its own good. It has no physical body, so your master will refine a new one for it. Then it will be able to guard your house for you."
"really?"
Chen Huangpi didn't believe it, so he walked up to the furnace and knocked on it with his hand.
dong dong dong...
"Golden Horn, how do you feel?"
"It feels great. He is worthy of being the Great Master. His skills are extraordinary and far superior to those of the Second and Third Masters! He is simply the best Master in the world!"
Since Jinjiao said so, Chen Huangpi could only let it go.
However, he began to have doubts in his heart.
Jinjiao's tone was a little strange.
Could it be that he was made stupid by his master?
Wouldn't that make him a stupid dog?
Thinking of this, Chen Huangpi walked up to the purple-robed Taoist priest and said worriedly, "Master, if Jinjiao becomes stupid, I can't let him guard my house. He will bring thieves home and steal my things."
"Master will not make it stupid."
The purple-robed Taoist waved his hand and said, "It will only become more and more energetic, like your master."
"Do you think I am a teacher?"
"Let me see."
Chen Huangpi looked at the purple-robed Taoist priest seriously.
The first master is not as crazy as the second master, nor does he have a murderous look on his face like the third master.
He is indeed very energetic on weekdays.
And he looks very kind.
If only I didn't drool when I talked.
"Master, you are indeed very energetic."
Chen Huangpi smiled and used his sleeve to wipe the saliva of the purple-robed Taoist priest, but after wiping it, he suddenly froze.
Because of his saliva-stained sleeves.
There are some hairs emitting golden light.
Fortunately, Jinjiao had no hair, otherwise he would have thought that Jinjiao had been eaten by the master.
"By the way, how long will Jinjiao have to stay in the alchemy furnace before he can come out?"
The purple-robed Taoist counted with his fingers and replied, "Roasting it now on high heat, we will switch to low heat and cook it slowly for seven days, it should be thoroughly flavored."
"When you go to the outside world this time, remember to bring back more spices."
"Master, how did you know I was going to the outside world? You were eavesdropping on my thoughts again!"
Chen Huangpi's tone was very unhappy.
Master is good at everything.
There is just one bad thing, no matter what you are thinking in your heart.
The master knows it all clearly.
However, the purple-robed Taoist shook his head and said, "I am not the third brother, why would I eavesdrop on your thoughts? Besides, even if I wanted to eavesdrop, I would not resort to such despicable means."
"Even if I know how, I won't use it."
When he said this, the old Taoist in purple robe avoided his gaze and put one hand to his ear to make a trumpet shape.
Chen Huangpi rolled his eyes.
Yes, Master never eavesdrops.
Because he listened openly.
And never hide it.
at this time.
The purple-robed Taoist's expression changed.
The Taoist robe he was wearing also turned green.
The old Taoist in green robe said: "The world outside is very dangerous. Before you leave, I have something to tell you."
Chen Huangpi said, "Third Master, please tell me."
"You are so kind."
The old Taoist in green robe said helplessly: "Although the eldest and the second brother are full of bad intentions, you have been taken care of by them for so many years and you are still a good person. I am worried that you will suffer."
"It's okay, Third Master."
Chen Huangpi smiled and said, "Suffering a loss is a blessing. I am not afraid of suffering a loss."
"Nonsense!"
The old Taoist in green robe said unhappily: "Suffering a loss is a loss, bullshit that suffering a loss is a blessing, these words are said by the party that benefits to deceive people, if you believe it, you will be fooled."
“Good people don’t always get good rewards.”
"But bad people are mostly those who enjoy a good life."
This is indeed aptly said.
But Chen Huangpi has a different opinion.
He said seriously: "Third Master, suffering a loss is a blessing. Bad people naturally have endless blessings..."
The old Taoist in green robe was surprised and asked: "Where did you learn this from?"
Chen Huangpi thought for a moment and said, "I can't remember clearly. I've read too many books. Anyway, that's what the books say. I've read a lot of books, so I naturally know these principles."
"I also know that without money you can't get anywhere."
"But I read a lot of books, and there is a golden house in books."
"I heard there is a bank out there that has a lot of gold. I think it must be my golden house."
"Good, great good!"
The old Taoist in green robe clapped his hands and laughed, "Huang Pi'er, I like to reason with people the most. If I meet a fool, I will kill him with a sword. Now that you understand a lot of principles and you have your sword, it's time to go out and practice your principles with your sword."
Chen Huangpi scratched his head.
Sword practice, practice?
It turns out that the word "jian" is pronounced as "jian". It seems that even ancient people sometimes made mistakes in writing.
……
The Shiwanda Mountains border Xuzhou City.
But there is an area hundreds of miles wide that is a restricted area.
This place is deserted and the earth is scorched.
It looks like it has been burned.
At this moment, a golden light rushed out from the Ten Thousand Mountains.
It fell to the ground when it was still dozens of miles away from Xuzhou City.
"Chen Huangpi, my Escape Light can only take you so far."
The brass oil lamp hung on Chen Huangpi's waist and he said, "Go further in and you will reach Xuzhou City. There are too many gods in the city. If I take you there in a swagger, they will definitely see me."
Chen Huangpi said: "I can walk the rest of the way by myself and we will be there soon." He has now reached an extraordinary level of cultivation.
There are only a few dozen miles left, and it will take less than half a cup of tea to reach the destination.
First time going out.
Chen Huangpi felt indescribably excited and happy.
The same is true for brass oil lamps.
Moreover, a fox came out from Chen Huangpi's arms.
The Fox Mountain God said excitedly: "Chen Huangpi, we finally escaped from that damn place."
“Oh my god, is this the air from outside?”
“I seem to smell the scent of freedom!”
"Hahaha! It's more than just freedom!"
The brass oil lamp couldn't help but exclaimed: "Now that you and I have come to the outside world, we can fly freely in the sky and leap on the sea with the lamp. This is the first time I have gone out in my life. I can already imagine how wonderful the world outside is."
Chen Huangpi was also very excited.
However, he did not forget his main business: "Jinjiao is still in the alchemy furnace. It will take some time for him to come out to help me find the evildoer. But I can't come out in vain this time."
Although the outside world is new and strange, the Shiwanda Mountains are his home.
We must go back before dark.
However, Chen Huangpi had already made up his mind. After buying the spices, he would ask someone if anyone had seen the God Guangmu and the evil man.
Guangmu Shangshen is a member of Chen Huangpi's family.
The evil man is a thorn in Chen Huangpi's heart.
Now that Lord Guangmu has fallen into the hands of evil people, he must have suffered a lot.
"And the master's robe."
Chen Huangpi patted the Soul-Catching Book and said, "Third Master asked me to take it with me, but he didn't tell me what to do with it. When I left, I asked him about it, but he told me not to worry about it and just take it with me."
The brass oil lamp said: "Sanguan is mainly used to kill the sun. This robe may be used to deal with the sun. However, since the old man said so, it must have been arranged. You should do whatever you are supposed to do."
"I know what I'm doing."
Chen Huangpi did not stop while speaking.
He is too fast.
At this time, an extremely huge city could be seen in the distance.
The Fox Mountain God said in surprise: "That is Xuzhou City. Tangbaba has been here before and told me about the scenery here. Look at the sky, there are phantoms of gods everywhere. The popularity here is very strong."
Hear this.
Chen Huangpi looked up.
Then, they saw the silhouettes of thousands of gods sitting in the clouds above Xuzhou City.
Below, countless gray auras gathered upwards, forming a dark cloud on which the gods sat.
Seeing this, Chen Huangpi couldn't help but frown.
Whether it is the first master, the second master, or the third master.
They all hated God.
Because the gods eat by taking in air.
Chen Huangpi once thought that the so-called "taking in the air" was to take in the aroma of incense.
But from Song Qiuyue's memory, we learned that this energy is actually popularity.
When a person's popularity is sucked away, his life will naturally be shortened.
Therefore the gods are bad.
"really weird."
Chen Huangpi muttered, "Huang Er, why don't these gods eat human energy? Aren't they hungry?"
The brass oil lamp urged, "Never mind, hurry into the city, I can't wait any longer."
"It's not easy to come out, but I have to go back at night."
"We don't have much time. We don't know when we will come out next time."
"That's true."
Chen Huangpi no longer hesitated and walked towards the city gate excitedly.
Outside the city gate, there were also many people coming in and out.
But when it was Chen Huangpi's turn, he was stopped by the gate guards.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking to you, stop."
"I want to go in."
"Nonsense, everyone knows you're going in."
"Then why did you stop me?"
"Because you didn't pay the toll."
The guard at the city gate stretched out his hand to Chen Huangpi and said impatiently, "Whose child are you? How come you don't know any rules? You have to pay a toll to enter the city. Three cents per head."
"How do you know I have money?"
Chen Huangpi looked at the guard in great surprise.
His money was all in the Soul Seducing Book, but this guard could tell at a glance that he was rich. Could it be that the other party's cultivation was extraordinary? Even more powerful than himself?
But this person's breath is clearly very weak.
Like a little ant.
The guard looked at Chen Huangpi like he was a fool and said, "Stop talking nonsense and pay the money quickly, otherwise you can't enter the city. Also, take out all the valuables on you for inspection."
Xuzhou City is a city.
People don't need to pay to go out, but they are charged per person to go in.
Three cents per person.
Except for babies who cannot walk, even one-year-old babies have to pay.
If there is business, the toll will be higher.
Chen Huangpi said hesitantly, "Brother Guard, I have too many valuable things on me. As the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed. Aren't you harming me?"
"Oh? Do you have anything valuable on you?"
The guard's eyes lit up and he urged, "Take it out and let us see it."
"Ok."
Chen Huangpi had no choice but to take out all the things he had on him.
"What a piece of crap this is."
The guard flew into a rage and said, "You only have a broken oil lamp and a tattered book on you. If there is anything valuable, the only thing that is worth money is this puppy you raised. But it's a pity that it doesn't even look like a dog. I won't accept it even if you give it to me for free."
"You poor bastard, do you have any money? If you don't have any, just go back to where you came from."
"If you have money, just pay the three cents."
Chen Huangpi was so angry that he laughed: "You actually said I was a poor guy? Fine, I'll give it to you, but you have to remember, I'm not a poor guy, I have a lot of money, it's just kept in the bank."
As he said that, Chen Huangpi handed over three cents.
The guard took the three cents and looked at Chen Huangpi with an incredible look.
He looked left and right, feeling uncomfortable no matter how he looked.
Why does this guy in Taoist robes look so weird?
"Forget it. I won't take your money."
The guard hesitated for a moment, then took out a few coins from his pocket and stuffed them together with the three coins into Chen Huangpi's pocket: "After entering the city, turn left. There is a small alley with a doctor in it."
"You are young, maybe you can still be saved."
