Chapter 376 I have become the author now "How is the situation in Yunmeng County?" Lin Jue felt a little tired, but he did not forget about it. "It's not over yet. The Taoist priests from Yushan are still in Yunmeng County." Tianshi Fan replied, "But there has been no major incident there. It's just the Queen Mother of the East preaching. There have been no fierce battles. Most of the battles are between the followers of the Queen Mother of the East and the soldiers. It can even be called a war. I heard that the Queen Mother of the East also has some messengers, but they rarely fight directly with the Taoist priests from Yushan. They just hide in the dark. When the two sides occasionally meet, they will take the initiative to avoid each other." "So that's how it is?" Lin Jue asked, "Will the Taoist priests of Yushan intervene in the fight between the followers of the Queen Mother of the East and the soldiers?" "They didn't intervene. What they usually do is to appease the people and tell them not to believe in the Queen Mother of the East. They use magic to make the people believe in themselves, which is quite troublesome and troublesome." Fan Tianshi said, "Originally, after returning to the capital, Lord Nan and Lord Luo wanted to go to Yunmeng County immediately, but after hearing about it, they didn't go." After hearing this, Master Nan and Luo Gong both nodded. Lin Jue also nodded, indicating his agreement. If Yi were in Yunmeng County, he could fight against monsters, eliminate monsters that harm people, and fight monsters that bewitch people. But if a group of ordinary people who believed in the Queen Mother of the East were surrounded and suppressed by soldiers because their faith and rule were shaken, he would not even want to intervene and help the soldiers in the battle. Anyone who looks at it will have unclean eyes.

With the court in this state, it is hard to say whether maintaining the court's rule is right or wrong. It is also hard to say whether those who believe in the Queen Mother of the East are forced into a desperate situation, or whether they are trying to end the chaos at this time. In this case, we can put the matter of the Northeast aside for now. This made me feel a little more relaxed. The looser you become, the more tired you become. At the same time, Master Fan continued: "Mr. Luo doesn't want to go, but Mr. Nan does want to go. It's just that the matter there is not urgent. Now the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, and the road is difficult to travel. It's also difficult to get supplies. In addition, he just came back from the northwest. He has been in the northwest to deal with the Leopard King for several years. He is exhausted both physically and mentally. It's time to rest. Let's go in the spring next year." The Nan Tianshi on the opposite side smiled and nodded again. "Um……" Master Fan is in the capital, but he knows everything about the two places. Lin Jue stopped thinking about this and looked at his junior sister again: "Where are the brothers?" "In October, I taught my brothers the art of speed. After they became proficient, I came back to find you." The younger sister replied, "Seventh Brother was the slowest learner at first because he always secretly went to Yi County to have fun and drink, and we couldn't find him. But after he learned it, he made rapid progress." "Because he wants to go to Yi County to have fun, right?" "You guessed it right. But it's not entirely right." The little sister said in a tone similar to refuting a senior, "Because there was no one to cook in the temple after you left, and the brothers wanted to practice the magic movement they just learned, so I took them to eat at different places at the foot of the mountain every day. It was quite fun." "Where are Ji Yin and Ji Yang?" “They ate the cold rice we brought back.” "Pitiful……" "Brother, they became pitiful after you left!" Thinking of that scene, the little sister couldn't help laughing. "The first meal was prepared by the eldest brother. As soon as it was served, the two of them sat in front of the table. They didn't dare to speak or use their chopsticks. Their eyes rolled around, looking at each other. It was so funny." "Two pairs of eyeballs." "Yes, yes, yes! Two pairs!"

"What happens after that?" "Then we had to eat it anyway. After that, I cooked. I cooked better than my senior brother. I learned a lot from him, but I'm still not as good as him." The younger sister said, "Then I took them to a restaurant in the city to eat." "When I have time, I should write a cookbook in more detail and pass it down in the Taoist temple." "It's long overdue!" After the junior sister finished speaking, she immediately added: "Give me a copy when you finish writing it!" Lin Jue couldn't help but smile. When the people around heard this, except for Mr. Luo, Taoist Jiang, Taoist Qingxuan and Junior Brother Ma, everyone else was very surprised. It is hard to imagine that he could fight the demon king alone and win, with a breath of immortal air making all flowers bloom and turning autumn into spring, with a thought the flying swords danced in silver light, with a stretch of his hand the stone sculptures fell to the ground, with a chant the mountain god came to help. Such a Taoist is actually good at cooking and seems to be extremely accomplished! "Don't be surprised, this is another skill I am proud of." Lin Jue said with a smile, "It's boring in the mountains. People like us who practice Taoism must find ways to kill time, so there are always other ways. And we are not immortals, we don't have wine and tea provided by believers, and we don't have meals provided by ourselves, so we have to find ways ourselves." "I see." Although everyone was still surprised, they gradually understood. If you think about it this way, it's probably just like being an immortal living in the mountains, having a leisurely and boring life, making your own wine, growing your own herbs and making your own tea, right? Taoist Qingxuan sighed: "Looking back, it has been several years since I left Huizhou and came to the capital. After the spring flowers that year, I haven't tasted your cooking. This is really a big regret in recent years." "Ha ha……" A table of food and wine in a restaurant, and trivial matters in the private rooms, most of the time have nothing to do with world affairs or people's livelihood, but they are relaxed, happy and comfortable. After finishing their meal, Master Nan, Wan Xinrong and the others said goodbye and left first. They were only heard arguing outside the door about who would pay the bill. Taoist Jiang and Taoist Qingxuan looked at each other and stood up as well. "Fellow Daoist, you must be tired and exhausted. Fortunately, there is nothing major happening in Yunmeng County right now, so you can take a good rest for some time." Taoist Qingxuan smiled and bowed to him. "If there is something serious, you'd better not go." Taoist Master Jiang next to him added coldly - "First, that is a monster, a real monster, without any faction or affiliation. If it really stirs up a big wave, Tian Weng will definitely send his True Lords to suppress it. Second, that is the Monster King, the real Monster King. Before you become a Taoist, it is best not to provoke him easily." It's rare for her to talk so much. When Lin Jue heard this, he thought it made sense. "Thank you." "I'll take my leave now." Daoist Master Jiang said, bowing to them, "My two Daoist friends, if you have time, please come to Zhenjian Palace more often to sit and drink tea." "must." Lin Jue returned the greeting and said, "Sure!" The junior sister also returned the gift. "must!"

The fox followed and learned. Suddenly, he was hugged by the colorful cat and thrown to the ground. At that moment, only Lin Jue, his junior sister, Mr. Luo, Master Fan and Mr. Pan were left. They walked out of the restaurant, through the alley and slowly walked back. "Brother, do you know? The second month after you left, Second Brother took in an apprentice at the foot of the mountain. It was the eldest brother who saw him first. He was a child who was sold. He was said to be talented. That child was like Ji Yang and Ji Yin, quite smart and fun, but younger than them." "Junior sister, do you want to receive one too?" "Huh? Why do you ask?" "I don't know. I just asked casually. Maybe I think you are quite interested in being a disciple." "Yeah……" The junior sister was stunned and fell into deep thought. "It's good to get one. It's lonely in the mountains and life is long. We have to find a way to kill time." Lin Jue said, "But we must pay attention to the character. Character is more important than talent." “I haven’t thought about it…” "Don't worry, there's still a lot of time left." "That's right! The brothers are still in Yishan. They said they would not go back until after the New Year. I came to find you. Brother, do you want to go back?" "Let's stay quiet for a few days..." Lin Jue paused and turned around to see Luo Gong following him silently as always, his eyes habitually scanning the street. Tianshi Fan and Master Pan also followed behind him, silently listening to his conversation with his junior sister, and then he asked: "When did Luo Gong leave?" Luo Gong looked up at him and said simply: "Just wait for the Taoist priest to come back and say goodbye." "..." Lin Jue was speechless for a moment. After being together for several years, it is natural to feel reluctant to part. However, the current capital and the current imperial court seem unable to keep Mr. Luo here any longer, and he has no reason to ask Mr. Luo to stay in the capital. He should have a wider world. "When Mr. Luo leaves, I must have a farewell drink with him." "nature." Mr. Luo's expression remained calm, but there was some emotion in his eyes. He paused for a moment: "Oh, right. Three months ago, when we returned to the capital, the official surnamed Wu and the doctor, assistant minister, and minister of the Ministry of Rites all came, and the rewards were placed in the storage room under the attic." "Do you have a thousand ounces of gold?" "Originally they said that the treasury was empty and gold was in short supply, so it was difficult to collect a thousand taels. They asked if they could use something else instead. But you were not there, and I didn't treat them well. After a few days, they collected enough gold and sent it to me."

"That's good." Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief. "Mr. Luo, take away all the other things. Not to mention the travel expenses and future expenses, just treat them as rare items and take them back home to make clothes and accessories." "Luo is also from a military family. Although his reputation has declined, he is still quite wealthy in the northwest. How could he be lacking these?" "..." When I walked back to the yard, my heart had completely calmed down. Lin Jue returned to his quiet room which he had been away from for a long time. He blew a breath to blow away the dust in the room, picked up the cushion and placed it in front of the table, then sat down cross-legged. With a thought, he took out the ancient book. Turn to the latest page. Sure enough, there was a blank page, but the blank space was shining with golden light. This time Lin Jue didn't ignore it. He took out the ink stick from the inkstone, turned the winter snow into water, ground the ink carefully, thought for a long time, and then picked up the brush and dipped it in ink. A good Hui pen has magical effects when its tip touches paper. Words appeared one by one on it—— Soul-destroying technique, a method of seeking and destroying the soul. During the reign of Emperor Jiang Jingping, a leopard demon wreaked havoc in the northwest. It was good at soul-shifting magic and had killed countless people. A Taoist named Pianshan had his family killed by the demon when he was young. He was determined to take revenge and spent seventy years searching for immortals. He remained determined and obsessed with this for seventy years. He referred to the soul-soothing spells of Taoism and Buddhism, and the soul-binding and soul-controlling magic of incense and fire, and finally found a way to crack the soul-shifting magic. This method can break the soul-transferring spell, as well as spells such as bean soldiers and stone generals, but it is not limited to this. Beginners can ask for the remaining souls of small ghosts and kill them with magic. After further practice, they can ask for souls from Taoists and demons. After practicing to a high level, even gods and big ghosts can be killed. "..." Lin Jue picked up the pen. This is the introduction. From this point on, he was no longer just a user and inheritor of this ancient book, but also became a part of the author, adding bricks and tiles to it. (End of this chapter)
