Chapter 382: Escape and Resume "Thank you very much, Your Excellency. Please rest in the guest hall for one night." Lin Jue escorted the merchant who delivered the letter to the living room, lit an oil lamp for him, and handed the lamp to him. Seeing him first look at the furnishings in the room, then turn around to thank me, his eyes swept towards the dark night outside. Knowing that he was uneasy, I smiled and said: "Please rest assured, believers. Although Yishan is remote and has many legends about gods and monsters, it is a famous mountain after all. There are not so many monsters that harm people. It is safer than the way believers come here. Although our Fuqiu Temple is a remote small Taoist temple, it has also become a famous mountain temple at the foot of the mountain in recent years. No monsters will cause trouble here. The clouded leopards in the temple have also practiced for many years and are very spiritual. They will not hurt people." "Ah... naturally." The traveling merchant held the oil lamp and nodded repeatedly. This was the school of the heroic Taoist priest, and he was delivering a letter for him, so naturally he was not worried about being harmed by these Taoist priests - not to mention that these Taoist priests were all warm and gentle, like gods. Even in the stories about monsters he had heard during his years of business, no mortal had ever been eaten by a monster when sending a letter or a geese or duck to the monster. But places where there are gods and immortals are likely to be more bizarre. If something comes to the door at night, even if it is a pet raised by a god or an insect hiding in the corner listening to sutras, it is not something I can deal with. After hearing what Lin Jue said, he felt relieved. Just as he watched the young Taoist priest turn around and leave, a white fox peeked out to look at him curiously and followed him away. The traveling merchant suddenly felt confused again.

The Taoist Priest and the Fox... It seems like you have heard of something similar in Qinzhou? Thinking of this, he shook his head again. That real person is in the capital, Qinzhou, which is three thousand miles away from here. How could he appear here? What's more, he is an extraordinary real person. Even if all the people living on this mountain are immortals, the place is small after all, so he should not appear here. But he still couldn't help it: "What's your surname, Taoist priest?" "Ok?" The Taoist priest and the white fox turned around at the same time in the night: "My surname is Lin." "Forest?" The merchant was immediately shocked: "Master Lin?" The Taoist priest just smiled: "It's just a false name." The Taoist priest and the fox turned around and left, leaving the merchant standing alone by the door holding an oil lamp, his heart restless for a long time. He was a merchant traveling between Huizhou and Qinzhou. When he was in Qinzhou, he had naturally heard the rumors about "Master Lin", but he never thought that he would actually meet this person when he accidentally delivered a letter to Huizhou. I never thought that in such a remote mountain with difficult roads and such a small Taoist temple, there would not only be a Taoist priest who could summon heavenly soldiers to eliminate monsters with a wave of his hand, but also a Master Lin. And in this small Taoist temple, there seemed to be several Taoist priests. Could it be that they are all gods? The good news is that I am not afraid anymore, but my heart is even more uneasy. …… Lin Jue was covered with a bear skin rug in the bedroom. It is cold and windy in the mountains in winter. You can hear the north wind howling outside, and the wind coming through the window cracks is freezing, but the bearskin blanket is very soft and warm. Lying in the house, I feel a rare sense of security. There is no need to worry about monsters and villains attacking at night, and there is no need to worry about gods disturbing you. Just practice quietly. After all, this is Mount Yi, Fuqiu Temple. The Mountain God of Mount Yi is no less powerful than an immortal who has achieved enlightenment. He is also a mountain god of the earth. Most of the True Lords in Mount Yi cannot be his enemy. And the Taoist temple has a thousand-year-old treasure mirror. If a True Lord comes here, he will have the power to fight against them. Therefore, even the fox ran from his feet to his pillow, curled up into a ball and slept peacefully, as if he was oblivious to what was happening outside.

Even if it is just for cultivation, Yishan's strong spiritual charm makes it more suitable than other places. Lin Jue lay there for a while, without practicing or thinking. His mind was blank and his whole body was relaxed. He was just resting. After a long time, he took out the ancient book. "Wow..." Turn to the latest pages. The fox next to him twitched its ears when it heard the peculiar sound of turning pages, and opened its eyes. But a hand soon reached out and covered its eyes, letting it continue to sleep. The hand that blocked the light and the warmth from the hand also made it sleep better. The fox likes this feeling... He twisted his body to make it more comfortable and then went back to sleep. Lin Jue looked at the ancient book—— Escape, the best way to escape. In critical moments, you can abandon your body and escape, then use magic to rebuild your body and come back to life. Depending on the depth of attainments, the escape can be tangible or intangible, the body can be real or fake, and rebuilding the body can take three years, three months, or three days. This method is mostly used by immortals. "You can escape with or without a visible body. It's probably the difference between being easily discovered and escaping quietly. But I didn't expect there is a difference between a real body and a fake body." It seems that the Leopard King did not learn very well. As for the sentence "this method is mostly used by immortals", Lin Jue was not surprised. After all, this skill is indeed profound. It can escape from both his hands and the hands of the gods. And this magic, the Leopard King himself got it from the Guardian Saint. "Wow..." It can be repeated intermittently, and is a body-refining magic technique. As the name suggests, it means to reconnect a severed limb or regenerate a broken one. This method is mostly learned by monsters, and is also practiced by ancient martial arts practitioners. It is an extremely advanced method of body training. For beginners, injuries do not bleed and heal quickly. For those who learn more, broken limbs can be regenerated. This is called breaking and then continuing. The deeper the attainment, the faster the continuation. When one reaches a high level of cultivation, even if the hands and feet are severed, they can grow back immediately with a thought. Even if the head of a powerful person falls to the ground, it can grow back instantly. Therefore, when the gods in ancient times captured the demon king, it was often very difficult to kill him. If a great sage among demons was beheaded dozens of times, it would only be a punishment. One is interrupted and continued, the other is dispersed and gathered again, one is to refine the body, the other is to nourish the spirit, one is in the physical body, the other is in the spirit and soul, when both are cultivated to perfection, one can be close to immortality. "Intermittently... “Dispersed and reunited… "Immortality..." Lin Jue murmured with his lips trembling. The last four words in particular attracted him greatly. However, this is a body-refining spell, mostly practiced by monsters or ancient body-refining monks, and it is difficult to learn it yourself. Maybe you have to become a true Taoist and have more time before you can practice it slowly. Moreover, with the skills of "escaping from the shell" and "parasitic disaster", for a cultivator like him, it can make up for the role of "breaking and resuming" in the battle to a great extent.

On the contrary, the other spell mentioned "dispersion and reunion" seems to be a spell for cultivating the soul, which is more suitable for him and the current spiritual practitioners. It is also more suitable to be used in combination with the Golden Cicada Escape Plan: one can abandon the physical body and leave the soul, and the other can keep the soul from dispersing and being destroyed. Unfortunately, it is only intermittent now. The fox can learn first. Because it is a monster, its physique is much stronger than Lin Jue's, and the practice of this spell is based on a strong physique. And the fox also got this spell - The magic it "drank" from the Leopard King was this intermittent and continuous magic. As for the escape from the shell, it "drank" it from General Baodeng, which is enough to show its cleverness. "Um……" Lin Jue made the decision. During the time in Yishan, he began to learn the method of "escaping from the shell". Life-saving spells naturally have a higher priority. In addition, there are bean soldiers. The most important person, of course, is Uncle Long. That Long Bo was at least ten feet tall. After his death, he became a ghost. With only his residual soul, he could be as powerful as a demon general under the Leopard King. If he was alive, he would definitely be even more powerful. Theoretically, a body made of spiritual wood could be even more powerful than when it was alive. With a set of armor, it would certainly be far superior to the demon generals. After a few years of careful training, it might even be able to fight against the Leopard King. This will be a great help to me. But the problem is - This Dragon Uncle has such a huge body that if we want to ensure his strength after carving him into a bean soldier, we must use larger and better quality spiritual wood, and the ritual will take longer. Normally, to carve a bean soldier, a piece of spiritual wood as thick as a child's wrist and as long as a palm will do. But to carve this dragon uncle, wouldn't you need a spiritual wood that is taller and thicker than a human? And the quality can’t be low! Although Lin Jue found a lot of spiritual wood from the Leopard King's lair, many of them were of top quality and very suitable for carving bean soldiers, none of them were this long and thick. When I went to Ku Ze County before, there were many ancient trees with spiritual charm. They were of sufficient length and thickness. However, on the one hand, they were just spiritual charms because they had lived for a long time. In fact, they were far inferior to the Li Zu who had become a spirit. Secondly, Lin Jue had learned the wood escape technique. They were living well and might even be about to become a spirit. How could he just cut them down? Last time, Lin Jue just broke off a few branches that were not exposed to the sun. This was similar to trimming their hair and nails, which was also good for their growth. Even so, he still gave a gift in return. "In this case, only..." This is Mount Yi, so naturally we are here to ask the mountain god for advice. Moreover, Yishan Mountain was even more spiritual than Kuze County. It had also been sparsely populated for many years. There were countless goblins, ghosts, and magical trees in the mountain. Lin Jue didn't believe that there was no suitable place. He also didn't believe that he had been respectfully worshipping the mountain god for so long. In the past, when he was in the mountain, and during these two visits, every time he made something to eat, he would first use it to worship the old man. The old man would give him directions. …… Everyone saw the merchant off and gave him a heart-protecting pill. In a few days, it will be New Year's Eve.

"One ounce of nutmeg, one ounce and six cents of cardamom, three cents of cinnamon bark, eight cents of star anise..." Lin Jue was reading, and the junior sister took a piece of paper and took notes beside him, looking serious and meticulous. There were so many types of spices, many of which she had never heard of before. She didn't even know what the words for them were, so she had to stop and ask her senior brothers from time to time. Although she didn't know how her senior brother knew it, she didn't dare to be careless at all. This is my senior brother’s recipe, and it is also the future treasure of Fuqiu Peak, just like the mirror hanging in the Moving Mountain Hall. It is the future inherited method of Fuqiu Peak, just like the spells that I and others have learned. "Soak the spices in water first, otherwise they won't taste good when fried. This is very important. Then heat up the pan with plenty of oil. Fry the onion, ginger and coriander first until golden brown, then remove them and put them into the pot of stew. Fry the spices again, and after they are fragrant, remove them and put them into the pot as well. Then stir-fry the sauce with oil and pour it into the pot. This is the stew. “It has to be done this way to make it fragrant. “With this ratio, you can braise five kilograms of meat at a time. "The more durable the meat is, the earlier it should be put in. The less durable the meat is, the later it should be put in. At the end, you can also put some cooked eggs in. Well, since you like eggs anyway, eggs cooked this way will become braised eggs, which have a unique flavor." As Lin Jue spoke, he put in half a chicken, some ribs and a piece of pork head. The junior sister was recounting frantically while saying, "It's not that I like eating eggs, it's that boiling eggs saves time and trouble, and they taste good! That's meat!" Lin Jue was too lazy to argue with her. A strange fragrance gradually rose in the Taoist temple. The strange fragrance drifted away with the wind, drifting into the mountains, attracting many monsters to stretch their necks and many animals to turn their heads to look. "Uncle Eighth Master! This smells so good!" Ji Yin and Ji Yang sniffed, shocked and drooling, "After it's cooked, can you scoop a spoonful of soup for me to dip in rice?" "How come you two are as useless as your masters and uncles at such young ages?" "Ah? Have they been soaked before?" "What do you say?" "do not know……" "Eat more meat so you can grow taller." Lin Jue said, "But before that, bring me a plate. Pick a little of each, pick the best ones, and cut them neatly. I want to offer them to the mountain god." "understood." (End of this chapter)
