Another seven or eight days have passed.

Since being beaten, Xiuxiu has never come over to play again.

She must be under the control of her brother-in-law Wu Qingping and won't let her come over for the time being.

Without Xiuxiu as a playmate, the white mouse still comes every day, and as it becomes more familiar with Chen Yuan, it will come close to Chen Yuan when Chen Yuan is practicing meditation or sleeping.

When Chen Yuan was meditating in the yard during the day, it would sometimes climb onto Chen Yuan's shoulders.

When Chen Yuan sleeps at night, it will jump to the head of Chen Yuan's bed and try to get as close as possible to Chen Yuan.

But one thing has not changed. The white mouse can approach Chen Yuan. Every time Chen Yuan wants to touch it, it will run away immediately.

Because the hair on the white rat's body is slender and white, especially the hair on its tail, which is unusually fluffy, to Chen Yuan, this white rat looks more like a squirrel than a house mouse, so he does not dislike the white rat.

Since the last time the villain cried in mourning in the middle of the night.

The next night.

Chen Yuan closed his eyes and fell asleep in bed all night, but nothing like that happened again.

However, two days later, it appeared again, and it never appeared again.

Chen Yuan is still confused about the pattern of villains crying in the middle of the night.

I feel like the pattern of villains crying in the middle of the night is completely random.

Sometimes it happens once every few days, sometimes it happens once every two or three days.

Chen Yuan also carefully checked inside and outside the house several times, but could not find where these villains were hiding.

Chen Yuan could only give up and wait to search again in the future.

This day.

When I got up, there was still sunshine in the sky.

After breakfast, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the sky became gloomy, but it didn't start raining immediately. It looked like it was a cloudy day today.

Chen Yuan took out the rusty sword in the yard and began to practice the "Hunyuan Sword Sutra".

Recently, while Chen Yuan's cultivation has been increasing, he has not given up on the practice of "Hunyuan Sword Classic".

He made a sword gesture with his hand and made a stroke with his sword finger. Under his command, the rusty sword was unsheathed in the air, and in the middle of the courtyard, it looked like someone holding a sword, making various sword moves.

The speed is faster than before, and the sword moves are much more flexible than before.

The white rat stood on the stone table, standing there, looking up at everything that was happening in front of him, and couldn't help but widen its pair of peanut-sized rat eyes. The rat's mouth was slightly opened, looking at the uncontrolled handle in the air, but

The rusty sword that slashed sword shadows in the air gradually transformed into a sculpture.

It seems that the young Taoist who once helped it is really an expert.

Bang bang!

Just after Chen Yuan finished practicing the "Hunyuan Sword Sutra" twice, he waved his sword finger and returned the rusty sword to its sheath, there were two knocks on the door.

Chen Yuan glanced at the white mouse next to him. The white mouse understood, and immediately jumped off the stone table, stood upright, ran to the courtyard door, and opened the courtyard door.

Except at night, the door of Chen Yuan's courtyard is basically not locked or bolted during the day.

And this white rat, for some reason, has become more and more humane in the past two days.

In addition to being unshakable every day and still bringing money back to Chen Yuan from outside, it actually likes to stand upright when walking and use its hind legs to walk, instead of lying on the ground and walking with its front and rear legs together.

White Mouse opened the courtyard door and saw standing outside the courtyard door a middle-aged man wearing a green shirt and a Confucian crown, with two long beards under his chin, elegant temperament, and a hint of power between his eyebrows.

It was Qing Linggong who had not seen Chen Yuan for some time.

"Lord City God!"

Chen Yuan said doubtfully.

"Fellow Taoist, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you don't welcome the arrival of this god?"

Lujiang City God Jia Shedao cupped his hands and smiled.

"What are you talking about? Qinglinggong can come to the humble house, so he will naturally be welcomed."

Chen Yuan smiled and said.

Lujiang City God Jia Shedao heard this and walked in with a smile. After being asked to sit down by Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan got up and went to the kitchen, made a pot of tea for Lujiang City God, and served tea to Lujiang City God.

"Fellow Taoist, were you practicing your sword just now?"

After Chen Yuan also sat down, he saw a trace of surprise in Chen Yuan's eyes when he saw the rusty sword placed on the stone table.

"I have nothing to do at home, so I practice some swordsmanship."

Chen Yuan responded.

"I wonder how Lord Cheng Huang knew that Pindao lived here?"

Chen Yuan asked curiously.

"It's not hard to find your place. You'll find out after a little inquiry."

Lujiang City God Jia pardoned him but smiled.

Although he is the Lujiang City God, because Luzhou Prefecture does not have a Fucheng God, his status is equivalent to that of a Fucheng God.

All the city gods and landowners under the control of Luzhou Prefecture directly or indirectly obeyed his orders, so it was very easy for him to find Chen Yuan.

"I wonder why Lord Cheng Huang came to seek poverty?"

Chen Yuan asked again.

"First of all, I haven't seen you for many days and I miss you Taoist friend. I passed by here and came to pay my respects. Secondly, the Lujiang River God is celebrating his birthday soon. I am planning to go to Lujiang to celebrate his birthday. I would like to ask my Taoist friend

Do you want to go with me?"

Lujiang City God Jia Shedao revealed his purpose of coming to Chen Yuan.

"The birthday of Lujiang River God?"

Chen Yuan immediately thought of the goddess Brocade Empress whom she met once at the City God's banquet. She was so beautiful that she was like a fairy descending to earth.

"Yes, the Lujiang River God has an extraordinary origin. My Taoist friends have met her once before, so it would be better to go there."

Lujiang City God Jia Shedao.

"But I didn't prepare any gifts in advance."

Chen Yuan was a little helpless.

Most of his possessions are mortal things, so it might be inappropriate to use mortal gold and silver as gifts to the River God.

"If fellow Taoist Master Lu is willing to go, I have already prepared a gift for you. Besides, as a disciple of fellow Taoist Master Lu Xiangong, the Brocade Empress must be very happy to be able to attend in person even if she does not bring any gifts."

Lujiang City God Quedao.

"How dare you trouble fellow Taoist!"

Chen Yuan was a little embarrassed when he heard that Lujiang City God had prepared a gift for him.

"It's no trouble to talk about it. Fellow Taoist and I are close friends. It's just a gift, so how can we take it seriously?"

Lujiang City God Jia Shedao had a look of displeasure on his face.

Seeing that the Lujiang City God had said this, Chen Yuan could not continue to refuse.

He said to Lujiang City God Jia She: "Friend Taoist, wait for me for a moment. I will write a letter and leave it at home to inform you of the whereabouts of your relatives."

Seeing Chen Yuan's agreement, Lujiang City God Jia Shedao was satisfied and said: "Fellow Taoist, please go."

Chen Yuan turned around and went back to his room, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote a letter to his brother, brother-in-law, and handed it to the white mouse who had just opened the courtyard door and had been hiding behind it.

"I have to go out for something and will be back in three to five days. You will help look after the house at home. My brother, brother and sister-in-law come to the door. They can't find me, so you will give this letter to them."

Chen Yuan found the white rat hiding behind the courtyard door, handed the letter to it and said.

The white mouse that Chen Yuan found out was a little afraid of the City God. It drooped its head and was no longer as lively and active as before.

"What a beautiful white mouse. Is it the one who opened the door for me just now?"

The Lujiang City God couldn't help but smile as he looked at the white rat, which was holding the letter on its forelimbs and was a little overwhelmed.

"I have some fate with this white mouse. I just rented this yard before. When I was weeding in the yard, I came across a confrontation between it and a long insect, so I helped it. Who knew that in the future, it would find some money every day to repay me?

, over time, I have become a member of this courtyard."

Chen Yuan explained.

"It turns out that Taoist friend and this white mouse have such a fate. It is really a great opportunity."

The Lujiang City God looked at the white mouse and marveled.

Others had no chance to make good friends with the immortal disciples, but this white mouse unknowingly formed such a fate with the immortal disciples and stayed by his side.

After giving the white mouse a few words, Chen Yuan carried the rusty sword wrapped in black cloth on his back. The Lujiang City God walked to Chen Yuan. Suddenly, a red cloud appeared under the feet of Chen Yuan and the Lujiang City God. Chen Yuan smelled the strong smell of incense in it.
