Wait for the caravan to park the goods and trucks at the entrance of the ruined temple, tie all the animals in front of the ruined temple, and feed them all with fodder.

The caravan group, led by the businessman, walked into the ruined temple without a roof.

They sent their own people to pick up several bundles of wood.

Then, just like Chen Yuan, he lit two bonfires at the other end of the ruined temple. After sitting around the bonfires, he began to eat wheat cakes and purified water to replenish his physical strength.

Wheat cake is a kind of dry food made from wheat, which is easy to carry and not easy to rot.

The disadvantage is that the taste is not very delicious and the texture is very dry, so you have to drink it with water.

It is one of the foods that people often bring when walking outside.

Chen Yuan took a quick look and found that there were seventeen people in this caravan.

In addition to the businessman who talked to him and invited him to join the leader of their caravan, there were four strong men wearing narrow-sleeved black clothing, with weapons around their waists, and a faint ferocious aura about them.

These four men should all be this businessman, a martial artist who spent a lot of money to protect himself and the caravan.

The remaining twelve are all guys in the caravan who help transport goods.

After the caravan guys and martial arts masters had eaten and drank enough, they all lay down next to the campfire, packed their own bags and lay there to sleep.

Only the leading middle-aged businessman ran over to talk to Chen Yuan while holding wheat cakes and water during his vigil:

"Thank you so much for the Taoist priest just now. If it weren't for the Taoist priest's large number tonight, we really wouldn't be able to find a place to rest, and I'm afraid we would have to sleep in the mountains and forests. These are our rewards for the Taoist priest."

But Chen Yuan declined politely: "No, thank you. I just ate and I'm not hungry."

Although he, who has cultivated the elixir fetus, cannot achieve complete fasting, he can still do it without eating for several days.

Therefore, Chen Yuan did not prepare dry food and water before departure.

More importantly, wheat cakes are really not very tasty.

If you are not walking outside, in order to fill your stomach, no one would eat if possible.

The middle-aged businessman was not angry when Chen Yuan politely rejected him. He took back the wheat cakes and water he handed out with a smile, and then said with a smile:

"Niu Bingjian, I am a local businessman from Luzhou Prefecture. This time I am going to transport a batch of tea to Chuzhou Prefecture. Do you dare to ask me about my name?"

Chen Yuandao: "The poor Taoist's surname is Chen Mingyuan, and his name is Qingming Jushi."

Although Master Lu Yan had already performed the crown ceremony for Chen Yuan, which meant that he had completely entered the Taoist sect and became a Taoist, Chen Yuan still kept forgetting to call himself a poor Taoist.

Only when others ask his name and introduce himself, he will call himself Pindao.

"It turns out to be Taoist Priest Qingming."

Niu Bingjian was in awe for a moment.

When he was doing business, he traveled all over the country, and he had some knowledge. He knew that only Taoist priests who had completely entered the Taoist sect had Taoist titles. Those Taoist priests who did not even have Taoist titles, regardless of their age, were Taoist boys who had not yet completely entered the Taoist sect.

The young Taoist priest in front of us has a Taoist title at a young age, and his future achievements will be limitless.

After Niu Bingjian chatted with Chen Yuan for a while, he saw that Chen Yuan didn't talk much, and everyone on his side was asleep. He would continue on his way tomorrow. Although he was keeping vigil tonight, he still had to squint a little, otherwise

He was tired of traveling tomorrow, so he said goodbye, returned to his place, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and took a nap for a while.

Chen Yuan raised his head and glanced at the waning moon rising in the sky, and continued to sit cross-legged and practice by the campfire with his eyes closed.

However, after practicing for a while, he discovered something was wrong and immediately opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction.

There seemed to be rustling sounds coming from the woods surrounding the ruined temple.

However, due to the extremely long distance, not to mention the sleeping caravan members, even the cows and horses tied at the door did not have any premonition of danger. Those who should sleep were still sleeping, and those who should be eating grass were eating grass. Only Chen, who had extraordinary hearing,

Yuan, I noticed something was wrong.

"Is it a beast?"

Chen Yuan was a little unsure.

And just when Chen Yuan was guessing what the thing that made the noise was.

This thing ran extremely fast, and in just a few breaths, it was about to approach the ruined temple.

Chen Yuan frowned, stood up directly, carried the rusty sword wrapped in black cloth aside, and walked out of the ruined temple.

Chen Yuan, who had just walked out of the ruined temple, could confirm with just his ears that the thing that caused the movement was already in front of him.

Just when he was about to draw his sword and stab the foreign object rushing from the dark night, the foreign object sensed the danger first, and suddenly the hair on its back stood up.

A slightly magnetic female voice sounded outside the ruined temple:

"Wait a minute, Master Taoist. I am ordered by the mountain god to invite the Taoist Master to be a guest in the mountains."

Chen Yuan only felt a bad wind blowing against his face, and a colorful insect, one foot long and nearly six feet tall, rushed out of the woods. Fortunately, the sound came out in time, preventing Chen Yuan from drawing his sword.

After Chen Yuan looked around for a while, he looked at the big insect in front of him with suspicion, which was almost as high as himself, and said, "Were you talking just now?"

That large, colorful insect, which was as tall as a person and one foot long, was as intimidating as a behemoth, but behaved very well-behaved in front of Chen Yuan.

The colorful insect looked at Chen Yuan and said with a hint of respect in his eyes: "The mountain god sent me here."

Chen Yuan asked: "The God of Nanshi Mountain?"

Since we are in Nanshi Mountain, there is probably only the God of Nanshi Mountain.

The big colorful insect said: "Yes, Taoist priest, when you entered the mountain during the day, the mountain god had already discovered you. He also said that you were a distinguished guest of Nanshi Mountain, and had prepared a banquet, waiting for you, Taoist priest."

”

Chen Yuan turned around and glanced at the caravan members who were sleeping soundly in the ruined temple, and then at the baggage left by the bonfire.

There were no valuables in the bag, just a robe.

Chen Yuan thought for a while and said: "Then let's go."

He was planning to go to the mountains tomorrow to see if he could find the Nanshi Mountain God!

Unexpectedly, Nanshi Mountain God knew of his arrival in advance and sent a tiger demon to pick him up.

The big, colorful insect did not move. She looked at Chen Yuan and said, "Taoist Priest, you ride on me, it's faster this way."

Chen Yuan didn't think much, he turned over and easily rode on the back of this big colorful insect.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to ride on the back of a large colorful insect as tall as a person without the help of tools, but Chen Yuan can do it easily.

When Chen Yuan rode on the back of the colorful insect, the colorful insect reminded Chen Yuan: "Taoist priest, please sit down, I'm leaving."

Chen Yuan only felt a jolting sensation, and saw this large, colorful insect leaping three to five feet. It could easily avoid the trees and boulders in the mountain forest, and ran wildly in the mountain forest. The night wind blew on him, and Chen Yuan's Taoist robes were blown away.

The sleeves were blowing loudly.

An ordinary person would have been thrown off the back of this colorful tiger.

But Chen Yuan stuck firmly to the tiger's back, no matter how fast the opponent accelerated, there was no sign of falling off.

After the tiger demon left with Chen Yuan, only a few horses and oxen that were tied to the door by the caravan and were frightened to the point of incontinence and did not dare to make any sound were left in place.

Businessman Niu Bingjian, who was taking a nap in the corner, opened his eyes when he heard there was no movement outside.

He glanced at the bonfire next to him and saw that the man had indeed disappeared, leaving only the other party's baggage beside the fire.

He turned to look at the door again. Under the white and snowy waning moonlight, he could vaguely see a huge and colorful tiger carrying the young Taoist priest on its back. It quickly moved away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In the night.

"This Taoist Master Chen is probably an outsider. He looks like a young man on the surface. He may have good looks. Otherwise, how could he attract the mountain god to send a tiger demon to pick him up, and be called a distinguished guest by the mountain god."

Encountering such a bizarre thing, Niu Bingjian was horrified and said in his heart.

He hadn't slept deeply since he had just returned from Chen Yuan's place, so he immediately woke up when there was any movement outside.

Who knew that a series of things happened next, which made him see this incredible scene.

"Fortunately, I didn't offend this Taoist priest just now, otherwise it would be terrible if I offended such an expert."

Niu Bingjian thought to himself when they entered the ruined temple.

Niu Bingjian turned around and looked around, and saw that everyone in the ruined temple was sleeping soundly. Some were breathing evenly, while others were snoring like thunder. They were not awakened by what just happened outside the temple.
