Chapter 424 Teaching the Dharma A few days later, in a quiet room in the courtyard. Wan Xinrong, Taoist Priest Tao and everyone else have arrived here. Lin Jue sat at the desk with a painting hanging behind him. The painting uses ink to outline the tiled roof and a courtyard in a unique way. There is a crabapple tree in the courtyard, which looks like one tree but is actually two. There is a stone table and stone chairs under the tree, a cup of tea that no one drinks, and a clouded leopard as big as a tiger lying under the tree, looking at the people outside the painting. There are a few lines of poetry next to it, most likely about clouded leopards. This is a new painting that Senior Brother Four created a few days ago. Lin Jue thought the painting was good, but he also thought it would be too much trouble for his fourth senior brother to bring a painting back from a long distance, so he took it himself, framed it and hung it up. At this moment, he looked at the people in front of him, but couldn't help feeling strange. In addition to holding the treasure lantern, Wan Xinrong also had a short lightning sword hanging from his waist, which was given to him by Lin Jue when they were in Ziyun County; in addition to a thin sword hanging from Taoist Tao's waist, he also had a golden bell hanging from his waist, and one could faintly see that his arms were full of armor-shard flying knives; he also had a circle of demon-binding rope hanging from his waist. Even Jia Qiaozi and Cai Lingyu brought the cold mirror and poisonous whip that Lin Jue gave them in Ziyun County.

"What are you doing..." Lin Jue asked, "Why are you bringing so many magical instruments to the capital?" "Hmm?" Wan Xinrong asked doubtfully, "Master Lin called all of us here. Doesn't he have something to entrust to us?" "You all misunderstood." Lin Jue smiled, "There is no such thing as exorcising demons." "Hey! I told you! This is the capital, how can there be so many battles to exorcise demons? Even if there are, it's still in time to go back and get them!" The man waved his hand and said, "Lei has already walked to the street, and ended up meeting you, and you persuaded me to go back and take this thing and walk two more miles!" "Then why did Master Lin call us here?" "I just think that you are all great and righteous people. I admire your integrity and courage in Ziyun, but I regret that you are not from an orthodox cultivation background. It just so happens that I have learned a lot of magic. If you are willing, I have a few magic spells that are suitable for you. You can take them back to study and practice." Lin Jue said to them slowly. Hearing this, several people looked at each other. Among them are smart, some are a little dumb, some are usually evasive, and some are always straightforward, and naturally some react quickly, some slowly. But no matter how dumb you are, after a trip to the Northwest Leopard Forest and the Northeast Purple Cloud, you should have seen the magic skills of the Lin Zhenren in front of you. No matter how slow you react, you should know that in this era when the spiritual law school is declining and the incense and fire school and the talisman school are flourishing, magic is very rare. If I could receive the teachings from Master Lin, how could it be compared with other magic? But Master Lin asked, "If you are willing." Who wouldn't want such a good thing? Of course, this is not the question. "I have said several years ago that I am willing to serve Master Lin." Wan Xinrong bowed first, "But my abilities are limited, so I can only do odd jobs." "I've said it before. Following Master Lin will definitely bring me fame and fortune. However, what I've gained now is more than just a little fame and fortune." He reacted quickly. Thinking of his initial thoughts, the blood of the tiger demon, the powerful demon with profound Taoism, and the magic weapon he got now, he could only sigh that he was lucky. At the same time, he said more firmly, "Anyway, I've made up my mind to follow Master Lin from now on. I'll do whatever Master Lin says!" "I am the same..." "I am also willing to follow the Immortal!" "I am also..." "You are wrong." Lin Jue just shook his head and said, "I do want your help in some areas, but more importantly, I recognize your character and virtue, so I invited you here. Now the world is about to enter a chaotic era. After you learn magic, you should not only help me, but also help the people of the world." The few of them looked at each other again and said more solemnly: "We'll know."

"Remember the teachings of the real person!" "..." Lin Jue scanned them one by one. "Fellow Daoist Wan is extremely gifted in the Five Elements, has profound Daoist practice, and a solid foundation, but unfortunately he doesn't know many spells, which limits himself." Lin Jue said, "Fellow Daoist Wan practices the Five Elements Spiritual Technique, which should be used in conjunction with Five Elements spells, so that one can move forward and backward freely, and have both offensive and defensive capabilities. He is best at fighting, just like the Fire Spiritual Technique, Mountain Pressure, and Fossil Technique that Daoist Wan has practiced in recent years. I think Daoist Wan has learned them very well." "It's just a shallow accomplishment. I don't dare to show off in front of Master Lin and Master Liu." "What you lack is only time." Lin Jue said, "I also have a technique called 'Touching Stones to Become Generals'. It can use the spirit of rocks to summon giants to help. I think you will be interested." "This……" Wan Xinrong was immediately surprised. He had seen this magic in Leopard Forest and Ziyun County, and knew that it was truly a god-like ability. He never thought that Master Lin would actually give it to him. When I was surprised, a book was already placed on the table. "Thank you, Masato!" Wan Xinrong quickly took it. "Fellow Daoist Tao is very skilled and has made great achievements in controlling objects. The only drawback is that his spell control is not flexible enough and his blood control has weaknesses. I know that you are upright and not afraid of demons, so I teach you the most orthodox art of controlling objects." Lin Jue said with a smile, "Coincidentally, I realized this magic because of you. Now I am teaching you, which is also a wonderful fate." Taoist Master Tao was also shocked when he heard this. As someone who also practices the art of controlling objects, how could he not have noticed that when Master Lin controls his flying sword, he doesn't need to chant any spells, and there are no blood symbols on the sword. He is also not afraid of rain, grass, or complex environments. It's just that he has always thought that that is one of Master Lin's specialties, so how could he dare to fantasize about it? “This…” Taoist Master Tao looked at Lin Jue and immediately bowed and said, “If Master Lin has any instructions from now on, I am willing to fight for my life.” This is far more than just a technique to control objects. He was willing to do so because of Lin Jue's character and behavior, which he had seen over the years and the times he went out to hunt monsters with him. "Thunder God specializes in magic, and it is difficult to improve in peacetime, but in this chaotic world, there must be many tiger monsters coming out to cause trouble. It is not enough to rely solely on magic and qi-cultivation methods." Lin Jue said, "I will teach you the Yin-Yang Spirit Method first, and then the Archery Technique, the Dragon Transformation Play, the Wall-Walking Technique, and the Stone Sealing Technique. You learn them first, don't be lazy." "Oh! I know! Thank you, Master Lin!" "Master Jia, I will teach you the method of gathering beasts and taming birds, and the art of calling the wind and the energy." "Thank you Master Lin!" "Mr. Cai, I will teach you the techniques of earth escape and wood escape, and the technique of freezing oneself in water." "Thank you Master Lin!" "Take it and read it first. Write down the parts you don't understand. You can come and ask me every evening." Lin Jue said, "Take good care of it and remember to return it to me after you finish reading it." "We know..." These people were one of Lin Jue's main protectors when he was refining the elixir. In fact, Lin Jue gave the magic weapon to more than just them, but for various reasons, Lin Jue did not give it to so many people. If they encounter danger, they can let these people lead them.

"When you came, you saw a lot of boxes outside the door?" "seen." Everyone held the book and looked down at it, reluctant to let it go, but they also turned their gazes away and looked at Lin Jue. "It's all filled with silver." Lin Jue said, "I originally thought that those people's money was obtained illegally, and I didn't want to have anything to do with them, but then I thought about it - how much does this money have to do with them? They didn't dig it out of the ground, nor did they earn it honestly. Most of it was taken by trickery and robbery, and it was just the fat of the people. There are countless people in the capital who have been hungry, clothed, and even died of hunger and cold on the streets because of this. Even if we return it to them and put it back into their pockets, it will only be stained with grease and filth again. “But I don’t want to touch it. “Then please take it away. "I returned to Beijing some time ago and saw countless people suffering from hunger and cold inside and outside the capital. The same is true for the displaced people. It's autumn now and winter is approaching. I'm afraid they won't be able to survive until next year..." Just when they all thought that Master Lin had a kind heart and was going to give the money to these people, they heard Master Lin say: “The official road from the capital to Yushan has been damaged and is difficult to travel, which makes it inconvenient for the people to burn incense and worship the gods. “The road from the capital to Fengshan is not easy to travel on, it’s not wide and smooth enough. “Even outside the city, at the foot of the Zhenjian Palace, there is still one stone staircase missing. “The temples and statues promised by the gods that Nan Tianshi invited from Jiguang have not yet been built. "So we asked some of you to study magic and spend some time to recruit some poor people to repair the road and build the temple. "Those who work hard every day and don't slack off, no matter how much they do, will be fed with wild vegetable porridge and given ten copper coins a day. Those who can work continuously for a month will be given thick clothes. Those who can work until winter, the temples should be almost finished, so let them spend the winter in them." After Lin Jue finished speaking, he stood up. "Yes……" Everyone looked at each other, but no one refuted. But there are bound to be doubts in my heart. Why didn't they just give the money to these people, knowing that they were starving and cold, but let them work to earn money? Building roads and temples are very tiring. Why, after having done so much hard work, was he only given a bowl of vegetable porridge and a mere ten copper coins? Why wouldn't he be more generous? No matter how full you are of wild vegetable porridge, you won't gain weight. Ten copper coins are pitifully little. Aren’t you afraid that others will say that Master Lin is stingy? Only after they said goodbye and walked out to the gate of the house did some people gradually come to their senses. "The real person is indeed the real person..." After a few words, they all suddenly understood. Then they moved the boxes at the door, discussed with each other what to do about the matter, and left together. Lin Jue stayed in the house and did not go out. In the morning he meditated and drank tea, in the afternoon he repaired the damaged bean soldiers, in the evening he answered questions from several people and taught them the Dharma, and at night he studied his own magic.

Seventh Senior Brother also started to go out. (End of this chapter)
