Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 50 Return
Li Wushou had no idea that the riverbank would become so lively after he left.

They traveled swiftly, returning to the city at breakneck speed. As they watched the bustling northern city gradually quiet down, their tense emotions calmed down somewhat.

Following the tributary into the Rouge River, the lights of the western city were already lit, and the courtesans and girls, who had rested for a day, were bustling about again.

Li Wushou still harbors lingering fear towards these courtesans!
The old beggar once said that he lost all his money just because he glanced at the courtesan!

These words remained vivid in his mind!
For a poor person, this ability is no less than a deadly evil spirit!

So Li Wushou kept his head down and flew straight across the Rouge River, where the lights on the distant Cherry Blossom Bridge were dim.

Several figures were waiting on the bridge. When they saw Li Wushou flying over, they waved and shouted with joy:

"High Priest, you're back!"

Li Wushou looked closely and saw that it was Lin You and the others. As for the Martial God, he should have already returned to the City God Temple. After all, for some reason, the Martial God seemed unable to stay outside for long!
Sure enough, as soon as they landed, Lin You and Feng Sishui came up to them and said, "High Priest, the Martial Priest has returned to the temple first and told us to wait for you here!"

Lu Fan and Chu Feng also wanted to join in, but seeing that Lin You and Feng Sishui had gotten there first, they had no choice but to stand behind and bow.

"These two have been through life and death with the High Priest! They definitely can't compete for this favor!"

Li Wushou was unaware of the intricacies involved; if he had known, he would have been speechless and probably horrified!
He cupped his hands in a slight bow to the crowd and replied calmly, "I understand!"

Then I thought of getting up and going back to the Three Immortals Pavilion. It was getting late, and I hadn't eaten yet. I was starving and wanted to sleep!

When Lin You saw Li Wushou about to leave, he knew perfectly well that the high priest wanted to go home after get off work.

He hurriedly stopped Li Wushou: "High Priest, wait a moment. I had Chu Feng make beggar's chicken from the three black-boned chickens we used to draw blood today. They're simmering in the yellow earth by the riverbank, and they should be ready soon. Why don't we have some together?"

"Huh?"

Li Wushou glanced at Lin You with some surprise, then patted Lin You on the shoulder approvingly.

Thinking to himself that it was a waste of Lin You's talents to be a minor priest.

So, full of joy, I stepped under the bridge.

While Li Wushou was playing PUBG, Lin You quickly relayed the instructions from the Martial God.

"High Priest, the Martial Priest instructed you to report the location where the Naruto Talisman was burned upon your return."

The group stood aside, watching as Li Wushou skillfully squatted down, knocked open a clod of earth, and in the blink of an eye, a chicken was gone.

They said they would eat together, but everyone was tactful and didn't step forward.

Having eaten at the Three Immortals Restaurant before, everyone knows how possessive this high priest is of his food!

Hearing Lin You say that, Li Wushou didn't even look up as he knocked open the second clod of earth, and casually replied:
"The talisman was burned outside the city in a village that worships the river god, right on the first large riverbank of the big river outside the north city! You can report this matter."

Without waiting for Lin You's reaction, Li Wushou continued eating.

Finally, as if remembering something, he looked up at the group and asked, "Why aren't you eating together?" Although he asked this, he didn't offer the chicken in his hand. The group remained calm, and Feng Sishui said with a hint of flattery, "We're not hungry. High Priest, you've worked hard. Please eat it yourself!"

Chu Feng, who was about to extend his hand, quickly withdrew it back into his sleeve. "You bastard Feng Sishui! You almost put me in a position of being unjust and immoral!"
"But the Martial Priest also said he has important matters to arrange for you!"

Lin You looked flustered, but when he saw Li Wushou turn his gaze to the third chicken, he gritted his teeth and finally spoke up!
Li Wushou paused, his hand on the clod of earth not because he was angry at Lin You's words, but because he suddenly remembered that he had left the City God Temple that afternoon without packing any food to take back to the Three Immortals Restaurant.

Originally, these three chickens were supposed to be one for each of the old beggar and Chen Gou'er, but now that he has eaten two of them, what should he do?
Li Wushou had intended to finish the third chicken and be done with it, as if nothing had happened, but after thinking about it, he decided not to open the third chicken.

No other reason than that Chen Gou'er has an incredibly keen sense of smell; he knows that if he eats alone, he won't be able to sleep tonight!
Bring the chicken back and share it among the three of us; that's how we show our contribution!
Um! Just do it!

"Great Priest? Great Priest?"

Seeing that Li Wushou was staring at the chicken in a daze after he finished speaking, Lin You thought that the other party was angry, so he asked a few questions in a low voice. Li Wushou immediately came back to his senses.

"Oh, oh! I see. The Martial Priest didn't say he would order me to do anything tonight, did he? Besides, I've already reported where the talisman burned. The Martial Priest didn't say I had to report to him. Isn't reporting to you the same as reporting?"

Finally, Li Wushou held the last beggar's chicken and patted Lin You on the shoulder.

"You're capable, Lin You! With your abilities, it's time to shoulder more responsibility!"

The moment he finished speaking, a gentle breeze brushed their faces, and the group only felt a blur before their eyes. Li Wushou had already disappeared from the spot with Beggar's Chicken.

Feng Sishui and the other two glanced at Lin You with some envy!
Since gilding the City God, Lin You has not only left his name at the City God's place, but also received great respect from the High Priest Xiao Panshan, and now the newly appointed High Priest Li Wushou feels the same way!

"It seems that it won't be long before there is a third high priest in this City God Temple!"

Thinking this, the three felt a pang of sadness, but they quickly composed themselves and began to flatter Lin You.

Lin You dealt with the three of them, but he was extremely annoyed. High Priest Xiao Panshan treated him differently, but High Priest Li Wushou only did so because he was useful!

Lin You felt like crying but had no tears. The communication yesterday should have been conducted by the High Priest, but now he seemed to have become the communication bridge between the Martial Priest and the High Priest!
However, being easy to use is also a skill!
The thought of potentially becoming the new High Priest reignited Lin You's excitement.

After successfully creating the golden statue, the City God bestowed upon him a bottle of Yin-refining liquid. If he could successfully refine it, he might be able to become the High Priest! Thinking this, Lin You became even more motivated and pulled the three of them toward the City God Temple!
Feng Sishui was in agony. He had stayed up all night last night, and now he was going to stay up again tonight?

Li Wushou has finally returned to the Three Immortals Pavilion!

Li Wushou kicked open the door to the master bedroom in the inner courtyard and shouted loudly, "Look what I brought back for you!"

"Wow! Li Wushou, you're finally back! Why are you so late today?"

"Huh? Beggar's chicken?"

Two figures flashed by, and the old beggar and Chen Gou'er surrounded Li Wushou. They thought there would be plenty of food as usual, but to their surprise, Li Wushou was only carrying a lone chicken.

"so little?"

"The City God Temple has been bankrupted by being eaten up??"
