Chapter 226: Wonderful Things The brother and sister rode on the backs of two grey donkeys, staggering forward. The grey donkeys were weak and the Taoist priest was also thin, so they were a good match. One of them was holding a roast chicken. One of them was holding a kite in his hand. With the help of the breeze, the kite floated in the sky, but was tied by the short string in her hand. It could not fly far, nor would it get caught on the branches by the roadside. The little sister was very happy and kept looking up at her kite as she walked. This is the appearance of a colorful flying bird. It is not as ferocious as an eagle, nor as simple as the kites made by ordinary people. It is very beautiful. However, even if the kites were made by ordinary people, she could only watch them fly them. Who would have thought—— The little girl working on the hillside grew up in the blink of an eye. When she saw people flying kites on the roadside, she would actually ask and buy one for herself.

I even have the ability to buy one for my brother. This is really amazing. "Brother, when are we going to fly kites?" the little sister couldn't help but ask. "There has been no wind for the past two days. Let's go to the top of the opposite mountain to set off fireworks in two days." Lin Jue said, "Buy some cakes and bring some food. Just treat it as an outing in the mountains." "it is good!" The junior sister agreed. As she walked along, there were often pedestrians on the roadside. Children could not help but look at her with envy, saying that she looked very much like her when she was a child. Adults were wondering where the wind came from. Walk back to the thatched cottage. The peach blossoms in the yard are still there, but the small flowers on the fence are a little withered. Lin Jue blew casually, and they stood up again. "You're back?" Luo Seng was picking vegetables. When he saw that they came back today, he guessed, "It seems that they encountered the monster." "Mr. Luo is worthy of being a county lieutenant." "Get rid of it?" "Alas, no. Seeing that it was not a heinous criminal and looked pitiful, we let it go and ordered it to return all the money it extorted." Lin Jue said. "Ah." Luo Seng nodded, in fact he often did so. There was no way out. The demons were not like humans, and he was not the imperial court. The imperial court had county offices, prisons, and laws. People who committed capital crimes were sentenced to death, and those who committed major or minor offenses were subject to criminal laws and could be enforced. But he only had a knife in his hand. It would be best if he encountered demons who were extremely evil, and he could just kill them with a knife and let it go. When he encountered demons who committed minor offenses or had extenuating circumstances, he couldn't just build a demon prison on the spot to lock them up and then guard them for two years. Therefore, they are often just cleaned up and released. "I passed by a shop on the roadside and it smelled delicious, so I brought a roast chicken for Mr. Luo to go with his wine." Lin Jue said, "There was an unexpected surprise last night." "Could it be news about the Crocodile King?"

"I can't hide it from Mr. Luo!" Lin Jue put away the paper donkey, sat down cross-legged, and told him in detail the news he had heard last night. The fox lay quietly on the ground. The colorful cat stood beside it and stretched out its claws to fiddle with it from the bottom up. As it fiddled with it, it gave it a puzzled, inquiring look. …… In the mountains outside the village, someone is busy working. Spring is a good season. It is not too cold and there are plenty of wild vegetables. As long as there is no famine in the whole area, it is not easy for a hardworking person to starve to death. Suddenly a voice came from behind. "Qiao Er? Are you digging vegetables?" The middle-aged man was startled and thought that the owner of the land next door had come. Although he was digging on the roadside outside the land, there are always unreasonable people in this world. Poor people cannot defeat others. But it turned out to be a familiar fellow villager who happened to pass by. "call……" The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief, put the wild vegetables into his backpack, and asked him, "What's wrong?" "Didn't you go to Runze County a few days ago? That road is haunted by monsters at night. Didn't you encounter any when you were walking at night?" "I found a thatched inn and stayed there for one night. I didn't walk there at night." The middle-aged man said, "Besides, the monster was after money and sacrifice. My family can't even afford food. If I met him, he wouldn't look for me!" "Hey! I heard someone say that the monster was taken care of by two immortal masters a few days ago!" The man said to him excitedly, "All the money extorted from them was returned these days! And he's even begging for forgiveness!" "real or fake?" "of course it's true." "You're not talking nonsense, are you?" "Several families were taken back by the monster at night and their money was returned. They all said so, it must be true!" said a fellow villager. "If you ask me, most of those families are well-off. Why would they return the money? It would be better to give it to us poor people, right?" "..." The middle-aged man frowned, feeling something was wrong. "When did this happen?" "Just a few nights ago." "A few nights ago..." "It is said that it was the day you walked on the road at night!" The fellow villager described vividly, "I heard from others that someone asked the monster who the two immortal masters he met were, and the monster said that the two immortal masters were a man and a woman!" "what?"

The middle-aged man's whole body suddenly froze. How could such a coincidence happen in this world? Could it be... The man and woman I met that night looked neither like ordinary people nor like monsters. They dared to move forward when it was dark, but came back in the middle of the night. I could not figure out the reason. So that's what happened? "Qiao Er, stop digging those wild vegetables. They are bitter without any oil or water, and I can't eat them. Aren't there a few dandelions next to them?" The middle-aged man found it difficult to listen for a moment. Although, in his opinion, this matter had nothing to do with him, people these days could talk with great interest for a long time about stories about nearby ghosts and monsters, and personally encountering a divine being, talking to him, and even staying with him for a night, how could one not feel dazed for a moment? In a trance, I suddenly felt a start! "hiss!" The dream that had been almost forgotten gradually became clear in my mind. "broken!" With a bang, the middle-aged man dropped his hoe and ran home. He ran a few steps and came back, picked up the hoe, and continued to run home. He didn't even hear the villagers calling him in surprise. He first returned home, put down his backpack and hoe, said goodbye to his wife and children, and then walked towards Runze County. We walked along the official road to Xiaojiadian, and indeed we saw a poplar tree at the intersection of the lower official road. We dug under the tree and found a stone box. Open the stone box and take a look—— Inside was a silver cup and a tuft of rabbit hair. "It's actually true..." The middle-aged man opened his eyes wide and couldn't help thinking. In this case, what else could those two masters be but gods? The god clearly got rid of the monster that night, but he came back and lived with me, just to help me get out of my predicament. He was a little at a loss for a moment. I didn't bring any money today, so I had to stay outside the hut for the night. I walked for half a day and finally arrived at the Runze County Government Office hungry. When he arrived at the government office, he hesitated and stumblingly explained the whole thing to the county magistrate. Not only was the county magistrate confused, but he himself was also unsure about it. They met by chance on the roadside and had a conversation. Because he kept his promise, a god came back to find him and gave him money to pay off his debt. Isn’t it the same as the fairy tales in the books? However, the county magistrate remembered clearly that among the several families that had been extorted of money and sacrifices by the monster and then returned, there was indeed one family that the monster had returned all the money and sacrifices except for a silver cup. The monster said that it was given to a master as a token of trust, but the man didn't know why. The county magistrate immediately sent someone to invite the family to identify it, and it turned out to be this silver cup. "Oh……" "Tsk tsk..." When everyone present heard about this, they were all shocked and amazed.

"Are there really gods in the world?" At first, when they heard that someone had dealt with a monster that was causing chaos on the official road at night, they thought it was a master who could cast spells, or a capable warrior. Later, they heard that the man persuaded the monster to mend its ways and ordered it to return the property. Everyone was moved by the character of this master. Now, when they heard about this, they suddenly realized that he could be called a god. The middle-aged man finally got the ten taels of silver. As he walked out of the county government office with the money in his pocket, he was still in a daze, feeling as if he were dreaming. The elusive dream of that night echoed in my mind for a while, and the county magistrate's words just now echoed in my mind: "This matter should be recorded in a book, passed down, and warned the world." …… There is a sense of spring on the green hills outside the city. Runze County is a big city. At this time of year, many scholars and literati come out to enjoy the spring. They drink wine and sing songs on the mountainside, or recite poems and compose couplets, which is very romantic. The top of the mountain was narrow and difficult to climb, so only two Taoists and a warrior reached here. Oh, and there's also a fox and a cat. The three of them did not treat themselves badly. They bought some cakes and pastries from the shop, took some dried meat, and prepared a pot of rice wine. Luo Seng was sitting on the ground eating. The junior sister stood on the edge of the cliff, holding a wire stick in her hand, looking up at the sky, her eyes fixed. The sky was blue and green, with white clouds as dense as cotton. In the middle was a kite that looked very small. The fox and the cat were running and jumping wildly in two different directions, chasing two balls made of dry grass. Lin Jue sat cross-legged on the ground, his mouth moving constantly. As he became more proficient in mantra control and Lin Jue's attainments in the art of sound transmission also improved, he experimented and combined the two. Now, no sound can be heard when he chants the mantra. This has an advantage - It is not easy for people to hear the spell, so the direction of the flying sword can be judged by the changes in the spell. A small ball flew up quickly, and the fox jumped forward, riding the wind. Just when he was about to catch the ball, the ball suddenly stopped falling and passed under his belly. On the other side, the ball kept flying back and forth, making the colorful beetle look like a crazy cat, shaking its head and body from side to side, not knowing where to run. At this time, the fox and the cat were on his left and right, almost at the edge of his vision. Lin Jue was multitasking, controlling two balls at the same time, and he was surprisingly adept at it. Sometimes the ball can even hit the cat's head. You can't hit the fox; it's too smart and clever. And this is actually more difficult than flying sword. Because the flying sword is more likely to attack proactively, it moves forward without dodging, it chases others instead of being chased by others, and many times it does not even need to chase others, it only needs to aim in a direction and shoot, or rotate and cut within a rough range, without the need for such fine and dexterous control. Even fewer opponents are as agile as Fuyao. Therefore, practicing in this way is very effective. "Brother, I'll let you go." A hand holding the string was handed to him.

"Has that been enough?" "You play for a while! I'll play later!" "it is good." Lin Jue reached out and took the stick. At the same time, he tapped his mouth a few times quickly, and without any sound, two balls flew over one after another. He raised his other hand, opened his palm, and caught the two balls with two bangs. The junior sister was stunned. The fox and raccoon cat not far away were also stunned, turned their heads to look, and then walked towards him reluctantly, as if they had lost the game. (End of this chapter)
