Chapter 212 Zhen Yuanzi, the change of fate, its opportunity
The shape of this fruit is like a baby under three days old, with all four limbs and five senses complete.

Hearing this, the man in Taoist robes smiled and replied, "This is called ginseng fruit."

"Please take a seat first and have a cup of tea. I will tell you slowly."

The man in Taoist robe waved his hand, and a bamboo table and two bamboo chairs appeared in the yard in front of the attic.

It is worth noting that all of these are made of the purple bamboo outside. When you sit on them, you will feel a strange sense of coolness spreading throughout your body, making you feel much more refreshed.

It seems that the purple bamboo is indeed not simple.

After sitting down, the man in Taoist robe took out a pair of exquisitely carved small porcelain cups from his sleeves.

Then he turned around and whispered to the attic, "Come and warm the tea."

The next second, two standing giant salamanders with two legs came out of the attic, holding a teapot and started making tea.

Su Mu also looked at the two giant salamanders with interest.

"These are my two little Taoist children. Their cultivation is too shallow. They cannot transform into human form after coming here."

The man in Taoist robes explained.

After a while, the giant salamander gently placed the brewed tea on the table, then stepped back and stood waiting at the back.

The man in Taoist robe picked up the teapot with his right hand, twisted his sleeve with his left hand, poured a cup of tea for Su Mu first, and then poured some for himself.

After the tea entered the cup, a peculiar tea fragrance rushed into the nose.

Su Mu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Great tea!

Nothing can be compared. Compared with the tea Su Han prepared for me, there is a world of difference.

One is Guojiao and the other is horse urine.

"It seems that Your Excellency likes to drink tea?"

Although the man in Taoist robe was drinking tea, he was always paying attention to Su Mu's expression and emotions.

"is acceptable."

"When I'm tired from work, I like to drink some tea by myself. It's refreshing and thirst-quenching." Su Mu replied.

"Your Excellency still needs to work?"

The man in Taoist robes asked in surprise.

After saying this, Su Mu waved his hand and said, "Of course I have to work. I have to go out on patrol every day to maintain order. I have to deal with all matters, big and small."

"Tired."

Hearing this, the man in the Taoist robe smiled and said, "I almost forgot that you have to deal with many emergencies while guarding here."

"The stability of this river is also inseparable from your hard work."

"I don't have any good wine here, so I'll use tea instead of wine to toast you."

"If it weren't for you maintaining order, I wouldn't be able to live here peacefully, let alone drink tea with you peacefully. I am more or less a lucky charm."

After saying that, Su Mu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You are joking, sir."

After a brief exchange, the man in Taoist robes introduced himself solemnly:
"I don't have a real name, only a Taoist name, Zhen Yuanzi."

Seeing this, Su Mu also introduced himself: "I don't have any Taoist name, Su Mu."

"Let's not ask about age or seniority. How about we just call each other fellow Taoists?" Zhen Yuanzi said.

Su Mu replied: "Of course, we are all cultivators."

"Friend Yuan, how long have you lived here?"

Su Mu also opened up another topic.

"It's hard to say. I can't remember some of it. Anyway, it's been a long time."

"I don't like to fight or participate in struggles. In order to stay away from them, I practiced meditation for a long time. Finally, I perfected a method and was able to come here, away from the struggles."

After Zhen Yuanzi took a sip of tea, he sighed heavily.

After hearing these words, Su Mu had the answer in his mind.

It seems that this fellow Taoist Zhen Yuanzi is a hermit who retired to the mountains and forests and came here. Alas, he must have been tired of the life in the outside world, so he came back here and lived in seclusion.

And I, damn it, haven’t even been out yet!

There is a saying that goes, people outside the wall want to come in, while people inside the wall want to go out.

"Fellow Daoist, you have achieved success and fame, and retired to the mountains. This is the life and realm that countless Taoists dream of."

Su Mu said with a smile.

Yes, only the big guys are qualified to be worthy of the four words "retreat to the mountains and forests".

For others, can that be called retiring to the mountains?

That's called going back to the countryside! (The city is full of tricks, I want to go back to the countryside)

"What success? I am just a nobody."

"I can't fight or win, so I can only retreat and seek a safe place."

"The longer a person lives, the more he wants to live longer. I don't have any big aspirations, so living a few more years is enough for me."

Zhen Yuanzi said leisurely.

But these seemingly indifferent words actually contain a hint of self-mockery.

"Senior, you are too low-key. You just don't want to fight."

When others are making fun of themselves, you can't just say something like "Yes, yes, you are indeed useless", you must agree with what they say.

Maybe they are just simply being low-key?
Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

"Friend Su, did you really capture that monkey?"

At this time, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly thought of something and asked Su Mu.

"Yes, it has only been a short time since I started learning it. You just asked me if I was his master."

"Actually, I can be considered half its master. After all, I also taught it some magic."

Su Mu replied.

Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, and the doubts in his heart suddenly became clear. He sighed and said, "So it was the method that fellow Taoist taught it. No wonder..."

Su Mu heard something unusual in the words, so he asked, "What's wrong? Did the little monkey do something else?"

Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand and said, "That's not the case."

"I just sigh that this monkey has received guidance from fellow Taoists, which can be regarded as a change in its original fate."

"It was schemed upon again and again, but I never expected that it would be exposed like this."

"However, for this naughty monkey, meeting a fellow Taoist is also an opportunity for it."

"However, although this monkey is naughty by nature, it still has great potential."

"Fellow Daoist, you can consider it and pay more attention to it."

Zhen Yuanzi knew very well that the man in front of him was the future master of the long river of time, and he must have many followers under his command who were more powerful than the monkey.

Therefore, his words were also intended to seek an opportunity for the little monkey.

Su Mu was very surprised to hear this.

"Doesn't the little monkey often come to your place to steal things?"

"So, fellow Daoist, you actually like it quite a lot?"

"Hahaha, this monkey has been known to me for a long time, and I guess I like him a little bit."

Zhen Yuanzi laughed.

"I believe in your vision, I will take better care of it in the future." Su Mu replied.

． ． ． ．
"Little monkey, come here."

Zhen Yuanzi waved and shouted to the little monkey not far away.

The next second, the little monkey came over.
