Chapter 396 Why not? "Third Senior Brother, this outfit..." "Ok?" The third brother looked down at his attire and said, "Isn't this for the purpose of sneaking into Mo Du Mountain? I just picked up some random clothes, which are indeed a bit sour and unrefined. I'm sorry to make Master Lin and Master Liu laugh at me." Before Lin Jue could say anything, Princess Hua beside him spoke up: "Since you are not going to Modu Mountain, why are you still wearing this dress? Why don't you take a bath and change back!" Lin Jue turned and looked at his junior sister. The junior sister rolled her eyes at him. Their eyes met and then quickly looked away, everything was said without words. "If third brother wants to take a bath, do you want me to boil water for you? There should be a kitchen here." The little sister has always been diligent. "That's not necessary." said the third brother.

"Then Third Brother, please pack up first. There are many rooms in this official inn. Just pick one to stay in." Lin Jue said, "By now, other Taoist friends in the capital should have set off. I have to write a letter to remind them to be careful of the straw men and hidden arrows on the road." "Then I'll go outside and take a look around to see if there are any monsters hiding in the city." said the junior sister. Lin Jue took the cloth bag upstairs and the fox followed him. The junior sister went out with a sword, and Caili walked with her. …… Lin Jue chose an upper room, which was only for high-ranking officials or officials from wealthy families. The room was very spacious. Take out the wood carving and spiritual gold as soon as possible. It was a good thing to meet my third senior brother here. My method of carving beans into weapons was taught by my third senior brother. He majored in this method and his attainments in it must be better than mine. In addition to discussing the details with him, I can also ask my third senior brother to help me forge the armor and weapons of Long Bo's bean soldiers. The speed should be more than twice as fast. But there is no rush at this time. Lin Juexian took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and started writing the letter. The fox stood on the table, looking down at him as he wrote. "Straw man... hidden arrow... beware... "You can use fire attack... "I am here with my senior brother and sister in Ziyun County. I have also written a letter to inform the other two senior brothers. I believe they will come as soon as they receive the letter. If there is a shortage of manpower in the capital, you can invite other Taoist friends and extraordinary people to the three counties of Letian, Boyu and Jiguang." Write briefly and blow dry. Lin Jue folded it and handed it to Fuyao. "Daoyou Bai Lu is not here. Besides, they should have left the capital by now and are halfway there. It's not easy to find them, so I have to ask you to take them there." "The fox can be found!" "That's what I think."

"Hey..." The fox stood on the table and suddenly changed. With a loud bang, the white fox on the table turned into a huge crow, which was slightly bigger than its original one. The crow took the letter and turned its head to look. Then a breeze opened the window for it, and it flapped its wings and flew out. Lin Jue walked to the window, but it had already flown away. And this window faces the north. It was calm over there. Lin Jue took a look and then turned and walked out. "Squeak..." As soon as the door was opened, I was stunned. I don't know when, the outside world has changed drastically. Originally, this was an official post house. Although it was well built, it was just "generous". In addition, it was a bit old, so many of the woods were a bit old. Now when you walk out of the room, the corridor outside has become like a palace, with the finest mahogany, carved railings and painted buildings, exquisite and luxurious, and without losing its charm. In a trance, it seemed as if I was back to that palace and pavilion several years ago, that night when I was walking in the wilderness and encountered rain. Lin Jue reached out and touched it, but could not feel anything illusionary. Walking along the corridor, everything on both sides has changed. The doors and windows have become mahogany, and the flowers carved on the windows have also changed from simple patterns to dragons, phoenixes and auspicious clouds. The lobby below has also changed. The original lobby was not small, more spacious than most lobbies in small town inns, with some square tables and wooden benches for officials to eat and discuss, but it was also a bit old. Now, not only has the lower part also become a palace made mainly of mahogany, but the space has also become much more spacious. The square table and wooden stools were replaced with desk cushions, the ordinary blue cloth was replaced with red gauze curtains, the oil lamps were replaced with luxurious and exquisite candlesticks, and maids were walking back and forth between them. Princess Hua sat upright on the throne, holding a pomegranate in her hand, peeling and eating it lazily. Dignified and calm, with a hint of laziness. If we count all the princesses in the world, I'm afraid nine out of ten don't have the temperament like her. "Princess Hua." Lin Jue looked around and asked curiously, "Is this the princess's magical power?" "It is a magical power, and also a treasure." "So is this palace or pavilion real or fake?" Lin Jue really couldn't tell for a moment. If it is real, it can disappear overnight. If it is fake, it can really protect them from wind and rain. If it is real, it can be transformed from the official post and overlap with it. If it is fake, you can touch and look at it, but you can't find any flaws. "This is the half-real and half-fake magical power and treasure of the gods. It's just true or false, so why should the Taoist priest distinguish it so clearly?" Princess Hua said to him while peeling a pomegranate, "It's just like the carved beams and painted buildings of ordinary people. By the way, the Taoist priest came from Huizhou. I heard that the architecture of Huizhou is the most exquisite. There must be paintings under the eaves, and the gods and Buddhas, Fu Lu Shou and the three elders on the beams, and the roofs must also be painted. But after most people's houses are built, they will never be able to touch the paintings under the eaves or the carvings on the beams in their lifetime, right? Aren't they just pleasing to the eye?" "That makes sense..." Lin Jue thought about it.

This Princess Hua said was a female ghost, but in fact it was a spirit. Xiyue Lord is a deity, and a highly respected one at that. She is the adopted daughter that Xiyue Lord values. It is said that there is a statue of her in the Lord Temple at the foot of Xiyue Mountain, so she is naturally a deity. It was just that the Lord of Xiyue used her as a bargaining chip, and she was unwilling, so she left Xiyue and no longer obeyed the Lord's orders, so naturally she became a "ghost". But calling her a ghost is not nice either. The reason why Lin Jue called her a ghost was because before, Taoist Qingxuan and in the letter that the third senior brother wrote to the eldest senior brother, the third senior brother called her a female ghost, saying that he was chased and entangled by a female ghost. At first, Lin Jue thought that the third senior brother was chased by her and was angry. Now thinking about it, I am afraid that there is some fun between the two of them. And what she said at this time did make some sense. "rational." Lin Jue added another sentence. So I stopped worrying about whether it was real or fake, stopped trying to figure out how real or fake this place was, and just looked around. I originally thought that Third Senior Brother was rather miserable because he was pursued by Princess Hua. He would have been wandering around the world since then, living a hard life with few meals and no shelter. But now it seems that he is living the life of an emperor. "Would you like to try a pomegranate?" "Thank you princess." "You're welcome, Master Taoist." "Princess, you can call me Junior Brother. If you don't want to, you can call me Fellow Daoist." "Oh, fellow Taoist is interesting." Princess Hua smiled slightly, with a hint of hidden happiness. Lin Juezhi sat down at the bottom, and a servant immediately brought him a plate of pomegranates. I peeled one and it was very sweet. So the two of them chatted casually. Lin Jue knew very well that this Princess Hua was no simple person. Their meeting at night in the wilderness was fate, but what happened afterwards was just her scheming to use him. When she failed, she turned to find her third senior brother, also wanting to use him. Both of them were fake. The only real thing was that after being angered by the third senior brother, she chased him for a long time, and they had countless entanglements, battles of wits and courage, and countering each other's moves, which gave rise to feelings for each other. Therefore, when Lin Jue faced her again, he felt neither embarrassed nor angry. He just treated her as an old friend and talked to her calmly. Not long after, the third senior brother came downstairs. He seemed to have long been accustomed to the changes in the official post station below, and was not surprised at all. He only said to his junior brother: "Has the letter been sent?" “It has been sent.” "How did you send it?" "I asked Fuyao to deliver it." At this time, the third senior brother had changed back into his Taoist robe. Although it was gray due to old age, it was clean. His hair had been washed and his beard had been shaved cleanly. A small sword and a wine gourd hung around his waist. He had regained his original image of the unrestrained Taoist priest.

Lin Jue recognized that this was the Taoist robe of Fuqiu Temple. The fabric, dyeing and workmanship would be different if it were not made in Yi County or by the tailor in Yi County. Even if it was made by the same tailor, the two would not be the same. This small sword was given to them by Lord Fuchi in Cuiwei County after he proved that the plague ghost did not come from the north. The third brother made it smaller. It may be a reference to the method of carving beans into weapons. This kind of magic weapon has its own spiritual charm and mystery. It is not easy to make it smaller by refining it. At least, it is not possible to copy Dou Bing's refining method. Instead, it is easy to destroy the original spiritual charm and mystery of the magic weapon. Changes must be made and even improvisations must be made for the magic weapon, which requires extremely high attainments in this area. Lin Jue couldn't do it. So even though he learned the "Little Ruyi" skill and could make himself smaller and his clothes smaller, the cloth bag, beans, paper donkey, and night lamp could not become smaller. You can ask your senior brother for advice. Since it will take time for the two True Lords to eliminate the demons, Lin Jue does not need to be anxious to come here to guard. He just needs to keep a good state of mind, which is both guarding the city and protecting the people, and also a form of spiritual practice. Just as I was thinking about it, the junior sister came in. The junior sister was holding a long sword in her hand, and her clothes were stained with blood. "There were a few monsters hiding in the city. Luckily I brought Xiaohua with me. Xiaohua found them and I gave them to..." Before he could finish his words, he suddenly froze. The junior sister turned her head and looked around, then looked at the junior brother and third senior brother sitting below, and Princess Hua sitting above, and was obviously also shocked by the changes in the official inn. Caili also opened his eyes wide. Not long after, singing girls and dancers came with lotus steps. Music was playing in the official post station and some people were dancing gracefully. The dance moves were not of the human world. Another maid came over and knelt beside them, pouring wine and peeling pomegranates for them. Servants came in one after another, carrying all kinds of exquisite dishes and placed them respectfully in front of them. "This……" The junior sister sat there awkwardly, feeling a little uncomfortable. Suddenly, it seemed as if I had returned to several years ago. She exchanged a glance with her junior brother, then looked at her third senior brother and Princess Hua, and at the palaces, pavilions, singing girls and dancers. If you think about it carefully, although this ability is not a magical power that can destroy the world, how can it be inferior to those magical powers? When the third brother travels around the world, with Princess Hua by his side, it is like carrying this palace and pavilions with him, and bringing so many maids and servants, so why can't it be possible?
