She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 41 Dao Miao Zhen Xian
Xie Lian held Zhuang Yan’s hand and walked in front.

The lame Taoist and the young girl followed one step behind.

Along the way, Xie Lian wanted to get closer to the lame Taoist priest.

It is rare to meet a disciple from Danxia Mountain. This is the only breakthrough at present. Maybe through this lame Taoist in front of me, I can open the mysterious door to the world of cultivation.

But the lame Taoist seemed to be not good at speaking.

Ask a question and answer it.

Moreover, he always addressed the person as "senior" when speaking, and answered very slowly. Every word he said was carefully polished and balanced, and there would never be any ambiguity.

This made Xie Lian feel helpless.

She realized that the "disciple" of Danxia Mountain in front of her must have been frightened by her previous display of power in public.

That's not her real ability...

But it is difficult for her to explain clearly.

"Senior, are all masters like you, who only like to walk like ordinary people and don't like to fly?"

Just when the atmosphere was becoming a little awkward, the girl suddenly spoke.

She looked innocent, but there was a look of doubt in her eyes.

But the lame Taoist was so frightened that he trembled in his heart and quickly looked at the girl, scolding her with his eyes.

"How dare you talk to me so casually, girl?"

This person has an unknown origin and unknown thoughts. Even he has to deal with him carefully. How can a little girl like you speak carelessly?

"Master, you are such a coward!"

But the girl didn't have this awareness. To be more precise, she really didn't think there was anything scary about Xie Lian. He was obviously a very kind person.

The master, on the other hand, seemed timid and had no courage at all.

Of course, the girl wasn’t stupid, and she didn’t say anything nonsense. She just wanted to break the deadlock and even deliberately acted innocent... As a great senior, you wouldn’t get angry with a little girl like me, right?

That's her cleverness.

Xie Lian certainly wasn’t angry. Instead, he was quite happy that the girl took the initiative to talk to him.

"Who are the masters like me that you are talking about?"

The girl glanced at the lame Taoist and said with a smile.

"That's my master. He likes walking all the time. He says he wants to blend into the ordinary and experience the mundane world... It's hard to understand what he says."

Xie Lian burst out laughing.

"Your master is right... But my situation is different from his. Is it possible that I can't fly, so I can only walk?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl burst out laughing.

Even the extremely nervous lame Taoist's mouth twitched.

"Senior, you are really good at joking."

The girl winked at the lame Taoist.

Did you see it, Master?

The senior is really easy to deal with, and he even likes to joke with me!
The lame Taoist smiled bitterly in his heart.

"This girl is really spoiled. She doesn't know her place."

But Xie Lian actually felt something else in his heart.

“Actually, I really can’t fly…”

But no one would believe this, they would just treat it as a joke.

But no matter what, after this little "joke", the atmosphere finally became much more harmonious.

Perhaps because he didn't want to let the girl "play freely" anymore, the lame Taoist became much more lively. He took the initiative to talk to Xie Lian and said a lot more.

But the words were still polite, respectful, and awe-inspiring.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the gate of Xiaoning County.

Xie Lian stopped and said.

"Master Lu, please stop calling me senior. I am not as powerful as you think. If you don't mind, you can address me as an equal."

Judging from the appearance of the lame Taoist, he is at least forty years old, but considering his identity as a cultivator, it is difficult to guess his actual age.

Xie Lian felt very uncomfortable when someone so much older than him kept calling him "senior".

But the lame Taoist didn't dare to think so, and immediately bowed.

"How dare the junior overstep his authority? Please don't joke with me, senior."

No matter how gentle and graceful Xie Lian appeared to be, the lame Taoist didn't dare to take it seriously. He had something on his mind and was always troubled.

“I have quite a few acquaintances in the city, especially the neighbors and Mr. Zhuang. If they hear the Taoist priest calling me “senior” all the time, they will definitely become suspicious.” Xie Lian pointed at his young face and said.

"You don't want me to reveal my identity like this, right?"

Having said this, the lame Taoist could only agree, but he still spoke through gritted teeth.

"In that case, I apologize for my wrongdoing. I'll call you Miss Xie."

She still didn't dare to interact with people of the same age.

Xie Lian nodded. This sounded much more pleasant than what the senior said.

She was a little helpless. The lame Taoist had misunderstood her so much that she had become extremely cautious.

"Am I that terrible?"

Xie Lian asked herself, she felt that she had always been kind to others.

Walking through the streets with the lame Taoist priest, I met many familiar people.

There was an uncle who was carrying a load on his shoulder and was closing up his stall after selling pancakes.

There were also aunties who had just cut a few pieces of coarse cloth and were preparing to go home and make clothes.

There are also passers-by who just look familiar but whose names are unknown.

When they saw Xie Lian, many people nodded in greeting, while others spoke enthusiastically.

"Thank you, girl."

"Miss Xie, are you out and about again?"

"Mr. Xiaozhuang is here too. Did he go outing with you, Sister Lian?"

Facing everyone's greetings, Xie Lian behaved gently and kindly.

"Hello, Uncle Liu."

"Yes, come out for a walk. Aunt Zhao, have you received another job making clothes? I've heard that you have a good craft."

"Haha, Mr. Zhuang is busy with schoolwork and can't take care of the children, so I took Xiao Zhuang out to relax."

In short, Xie Lian integrated very well.

She would stop and chat with passers-by, talking about trivial matters.

Lame Taoist had never come into contact with these things, but Xie Lian knew them very well and could talk about them for a long time with anyone.

Moreover, her words could resonate with others. Even manual laborers who were rushing home to rest with dust all over their faces were willing to talk to Xie Lian for a few more words.

Many people who were not very familiar with each other became talkative after chatting for a few minutes.

This made the lame Taoist feel emotional.

If he didn't know Xie Lian's "true face", he might really have thought of her as an ordinary woman.

The City God of Xiaoning County was right. Xie Lian had indeed returned to his original nature and become a natural person.

She felt no sense of disharmony when she was with these mortals, just like a drop of water merging into the ocean.

In fact, most of the time, he could see and feel that Senior Xie was a stunningly beautiful woman, with clothes whiter than snow, wide sleeves flying, beautiful eyes as clear as autumn water, delicate face as white as cream, and a faint glow all over her body.

Moreover, she exudes a transcendental temperament from the inside out, as if she does not belong to this world. There is an otherworldly aura that she may ascend to heaven and transcend the world at any time.

But this feeling did not conflict with his feeling that Senior Xie was just an ordinary woman.

This stark contrast is extremely reasonable to Senior Xie.

in this way.
The common people in the world would not have the slightest evil or false thoughts when seeing Senior Xie.

It is truly the wonderful Tao and the immortal!

This Dao Miao Zhen Xian does not refer to the state of cultivation, but a respectful title.
-
More than an hour passed in this way, as we walked and talked, and the lame Taoist imagined.

Finally, Xie Lian returned to his own courtyard.

She breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely relaxed.

This is "home". Once you get home, everyone will instinctively relax.

But she did not forget that she had guests.

He immediately smiled warmly and said.

"Master Lu, you are a distinguished guest. Please stay here and I will make tea for you."

After saying this, Xie Lian went into the house to boil some water.

However, he never expected that this action made the lame Taoist, who had just relaxed a little, nervous again. He gritted his teeth and simply bowed down.

"Miss, please stop teasing me. It's wrong for me to snoop on your conversation. Please feel free to punish me. I have no complaints!"
