Chapter 347: Immortal Riding a Crane A few days later, in Zhenjian Palace outside the city. Lin Jue came to visit when he was about to leave, and Taoist Qingxuan happened to come back for something, so they sat together again, brewed tea and talked. It was still Taoist Jiang who made the tea. She sat under the window of the quiet room, silent and quiet. The sunlight coming in from outside made her snow-white skin seem to be glowing and somewhat transparent. Tea was bubbling on the stove, and the curls of steam were particularly clear and bubbling in the sunlight. Most of the conversations were left to Taoist Qingxuan. In fact, Lin Jue also came to visit once in the second half of last year, but Taoist Qingxuan was in Jinping County before, and the only people Lin Jue knew in Zhenjian Palace were Taoist Jiang and Junior Brother Ma. Taoist Jiang didn't talk much. She was also sitting under the window in the quiet room making tea. The two only talked about the recent situation in Jinping County, things in the capital, and the changes in the situation in Huizhou. They did drink a lot of tea. Taoist Qingxuan said a lot more. "Although Jinping is close to the capital and was prosperous in the past, the people are also suffering. They have suffered even more after this disaster." Taoist Qingxuan said, "It's nothing for me. When I was practicing in Qiyun Mountain, I didn't have a happy life. Especially when I was young, I suffered a lot. At least I built a temple in Jinping County, so I don't have to worry about food and clothing. I can light a fire at night and I don't have to worry about the cold even if there is a draft. But I can't bear to see those people." "Brother Dao has a compassionate heart." "Huizhou is relatively better." Taoist Qingxuan paused and said, "Daoyou just said you want to go back to Huizhou?"
"I have to go back to Huizhou. I haven't seen you brothers for a long time, and I miss you very much. I originally planned to work together with you fellow Taoists to go back to kill the Leopard King, but after the battle last year, the monster has been hiding in its lair and it is impossible to go into the mountains to find it, so I have to go back to Huizhou first." Lin Jue said, "Do you two fellow Taoists have any letters or items that you want me to take back with you?" Taoist Qingxuan turned around and glanced at Taoist Jiang. Seeing that she was quietly brewing tea and had no reaction except shaking her head, he smiled and said: "You are very thoughtful, fellow Daoist. However, we have always been in contact with our master, and many Hui merchants who travel to the capital will take the initiative to bring us letters. Even if there are letters, they have already been taken back." "rational." Lin Jue explained to them and took out a piece of talisman paper and handed it to them. "What is this?" Taoist Qingxuan took it doubtfully. "This is the talisman paper that drives my little ghost, the one that likes to ask for directions everywhere." Lin Jue said, "Although I went back to Huizhou quickly this time, I don't know how long it will take me to come back. If the Leopard King comes out to cause trouble again, I know that Zhenjian Palace will take action. Even if the two Taoist friends will not go in person, the Sky Fire God will also be dispatched. Please let me know when the time comes." Upon hearing this, Taoist Master Jiang, who was making tea, turned his head to face the light from the side, and it really felt like his hair and cheeks were glowing. Taoist Qingxuan said: "Just rely on this talisman?" "Burn this talisman and Chen Niu will appear. When you see it, tell it to 'bring Lin Jue here' and it will come to me." "take note of it." Taoist Qingxuan said, and looked at the talisman carefully: "Daoyou, this thing is quite old, right?" "Where did you get it from an evil god from a small country in the Western Regions?" "It is a magical weapon from the Central Plains, but it is very primitive and looks to be authentic or not." Taoist Qingxuan took the talisman paper. Although it was folded, the place with the seal was left on the front. He looked at it and handed it to Taoist Jiang. Daoist Master Jiang took it, glanced at it, and gave his conclusion: "Although it is not orthodox, it is not heretical either. It is not borrowing spirits from the gods, nor is it controlling ghosts. It must have been made by a great sage among the monsters in ancient times." He poured tea for them: "Many great saints have their own soldiers and spiritual officials, which are equivalent to the heavenly soldiers and generals and minor priests in the Nine Heavens. After the Nine Heavens were built, the great saints of the demon race either returned to the Nine Heavens or were exterminated. Some of the magic scrolls and seals that used these soldiers and spiritual officials were scattered everywhere and obtained by others."
"It turns out that this little thing is also a spiritual officer." Lin Jue laughed and found it very interesting. "This is considered a spiritual servant." Taoist Jiang glanced at him. Lin Jue took a cup of tea from her. I took a sip and it tasted sour and sweet. This Taoist Master Jiang still remembers his habit of only adding molasses and plums. "Delicious." "Newly produced honey in early spring, rapeseed honey." Master Jiang said calmly, "Plums from the southwest, sour but not astringent." "It's exquisite. No wonder it tastes so good." Lin Jue said and then asked, "How do these kinds of servant spirits usually come from? I think this little thing is a human, so how can it be controlled by the demon clan's great sage?" "There are also monsters under the command of the Nine Heavens God, and the monster saints in ancient times also have believers in the human world." Taoist Jiang replied, "I don't know where your little ghost came from, but it dares to walk around in the Zhenjian Palace, and the gods and priests in the temple didn't make things difficult for it, so it must have come from a legitimate background." "This little thing is quite pitiful..." "These types of sent spirits have been able to survive for so many years, and most of their souls are incomplete. If you can become an immortal, you can supplement them." "I see." "How long will it take for you to come back?" asked Taoist Master Jiang. "As long as we receive news from Chen Niu, we should rush back to the capital within a day and a night." Lin Jue replied. "..." Taoist Priest Jiang pursed his lips and said no more. Instead, Taoist Qingxuan next to him suddenly laughed. "Hmm?" Lin Jue also looked at him with a smile, "Brother Dao, why are you suddenly so happy?" "Nothing else. I just think, haha, fellow Taoist can rush back to the capital from Huizhou within a day and night, which is really fast. It's good to practice spiritual magic, hahaha, I'm really happy for fellow Taoist." Taoist Qingxuan put down the teacup and said with a smile, then shook his head pretending to be serious, "It's a pity that I don't have any talent for practicing spiritual magic..." "But Brother Dao has been granted the ordination certificate and is now among the immortals." "Yea, haha……" The three of them talked for a while, enjoying the spring sunshine and drinking several pots of tea, and then Lin Jue said goodbye to them. Leaving the quiet room, the fox was playing in the yard. This fox was unusual at first glance, as if it had become a spirit. A fox that had become a spirit dared to come to the Zhenjian Palace, and a fox that had visited the Zhenjian Palace were both enough to attract the attention of pilgrims. At first, the fox played with them, but as the fun progressed, it got a little annoyed and jumped onto the shoulder of the guardian statue. The Taoist priests of Zhenjian Palace didn't care, the fox wasn't afraid, and the gods didn't seem to blame him. "Let's go." Until the Taoist came out and shouted. When everyone saw this, they realized that it was the white fox from Master Lin's family. It was said that it had once subdued a giant from the Western Regions in the palace. No wonder it was so powerful. The fox jumped down from the statue and followed Lin Jue out.
Taoist Qingxuan and Taoist Jiang followed behind him until they saw him out of the mountain gate. Lin Jue asked them not to see him off, so they stopped. Taoist Qingxuan then asked him again: "Fellow Daoist, you have returned to Huizhou. If there is nothing going on in the capital, how long will you stay in Huizhou before returning to the capital?" "That's hard to say." Lin Jue answered truthfully, "It depends on whether the brothers want to keep me." "I see." "You two, please come back." "Walk slowly." "Walk slowly." The two Taoists, one nodded with a smile, and the other looked calm, then turned around and walked back to the Taoist temple. Lin Jue took two steps out and suddenly felt doubtful, thinking something was wrong. But when he stopped and turned around, there was no one at the entrance of the Taoist temple. "Boo?" "fine." Lin Jue put away his doubts: "Let's go." The man and the fox slowly returned to the city. He took the small bag and the hut and returned to the yard. "Lord Luo, if you have any trouble in the capital, please find Fellow Daoist Fan. If the Northwest Leopard King causes trouble again, the Juxian Mansion will decide to suppress it. Please burn this talisman and let Chen Niu come to me." Lin Jue said similar things to Luo Gong. Although Mr. Luo is still a wanted criminal, he has already established a firm foothold in the capital with the name of "Master Lin". Mr. Luo has also established a firm foothold in the capital - as long as he puts on the bamboo hat, he will be the protector of the famous Master Lin in the city, and naturally no one will stop him. Just in case, Lin Jue left the name tag to him. Then he said goodbye to Master Fan and Mr. Pan. When Wan Xinrong, Taoist Master Tao and others heard that he was leaving, they came to see him off. At about the same time, the junior sister also arrived at the courtyard. She did not ride a donkey today. It must be because she had mastered the art of walking and had some accomplishments, so she walked here by herself. "So many people?" The little sister carried two packages on her back, glanced at the group of people in the courtyard, and then looked at Lin Jue, "Brother! Shall we set off?" "Please leave your package here with me." Lin Jue opened the cloth bag and left space for her. "Thank you, senior brother." The junior sister didn't have much stuff. One package contained a set of clothes, and another package contained books, money, and persimmon cakes made from persimmons she grew herself. She had to bring them all the way to her senior brothers.
When I put it into Lin Jue's cloth bag, it felt just right. As Lin Jue expected, he immediately heard: "Brother, can you let me carry this cloth bag? I always feel light and fluttery when I don't carry anything. I'm not used to it." "Use this back." The small bag made by Lin Jue came in handy. This is a small backpack that can be carried by humans or foxes when they grow to the right size. It is just the right size to hold a cloth bag. Lin Jue handed it to his junior sister. "not heavy!" The little sister tried carrying him on her back, then looked at her brother: "Brother, how are you going to walk?" Mr. Luo, Tianshi Fan, Mr. Pan, Wan Xinrong and others also looked at Lin Jue. "Daoyou Bai Lu will take me away." As Lin Jue spoke, he waved toward the sky, and a egret spread its wings and flew down from the roof, landing gracefully on the stone table. Then the Taoist priest suddenly transformed himself and white smoke rose. When the white smoke dissipated, the Taoist priest had disappeared, but upon closer inspection, there was another Taoist priest on the table, who was only as tall as two fingers. The Taoist smiled and rode on the egret's back. The junior sister looked at him blankly. The others also looked on in surprise. In their eyes, the egret spread its wings, kicked its legs, and lightly left the stone table and flew steadily into the blue sky. The Taoist also followed him away, like an immortal riding a crane.
