Chapter 313: The Immortals on the Road

Chapter 313: The Immortals on the Road "Friend Lin..." Taoist Qingxuan and the other two looked at Lin Jue. Lin Jue did not hesitate at all. After exchanging a glance with Master Fan and Master Pan, he said, "Please allow me to go back and pack my things first." "Meet me at Zhenjian Palace outside the city!" "it is good!" The two sides didn't say much. They walked towards each other and disappeared into the night of the capital. Lin Jue quickly returned to the yard. Basically, all his things were either hidden on his body or placed in the cloth bag given by the tall and thin Taoist. At this moment, he just stood in front of the bookshelf in the room, looking at the thirteen carved wooden sculptures and several small bottles of elixirs on it, and opened the cloth bag: "Please come." Thirteen wooden sculptures and medicine bottles all flew up at once and lined up to fly into the cloth bag.

Then he pointed back at the table. The night watch lights also flew over. The fox took small steps and followed him. Seeing him pick up his own bowl and some things that he had prepared long ago for the long journey, he quickly swept them into the cloth bag. Lin Jue was determined in his mind—— Not only must we kill the monster before the Tianweng gods drive it away as Taoist Jiang said, but we must also take its head and show it to the people of Jinping County and the Star Observation Palace. This monster must be related to the Tianweng pantheon. It is also related to the Stargazing Palace. Of course, even if this kind of thing was not as obscure as the last time when the Star Observation Palace designed him to go to Fengshan to cause trouble for Senior Hua, it would definitely be difficult to find evidence, at least not yet. Since it is just a guess, it may not be completely correct. But I probably also need to get rid of the monsters myself. If the Leopard King came in person, we should have given more consideration. Could a general under the Demon King be able to defeat the Alligator King in the Weishui River? With Lin Jue's current level of skills, how could he not be able to fight again even with the Alligator King? Besides, even if he didn't go, Luo Gong would definitely go. Luo Gong has been protecting me for a long time. How could I just sit back and watch him eliminate the monster alone? So without thinking any more, I quickly packed up my things and walked out of the room. In the courtyard, Mr. Luo had already led his horse and prepared his swords, guns and bags. Besides him, Master Fan and Mr. Pan were also in the courtyard. And footsteps were still being heard outside the yard. The short and thin Wan Xinrong walked in holding a lantern. He was carrying a bag on his back, with a big knife in the bag. Behind him was Taoist Tao who knew blood control, and the man who knew magic. "Finally, I have caught up with Master Lin!" Wan Xinrong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the others. "When I heard about this kind of thing in the Juxian Mansion, I knew that the Ministry of Rites would definitely go find Master Lin, and that Master Lin would definitely go forward to exorcise the monster. However, I went to the palace gate and didn't see Master Lin. Later, I heard from the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Rites that Master Lin went to the government gate and had agreed to exorcise the monster, so I boldly came to his door!" "Wan Daoyou, are you going too?"

"If the real person wants to go, I will follow him! Even if it means killing a few little monsters or doing some odd jobs, as long as the real person doesn't mind, I will follow him!" "How is your three magic skills going, Fellow Daoist Wan?" "I have learned them all, but the Five Elements Spiritual Technique is compatible with it, so I am quite proficient in using it!" "That's good!" Lin Jue nodded, as if to agree, and glanced at Taoist Tao and the famous person next to him. "Greetings, Master Lin. Jinping County is my hometown. Although I am not very capable, I have no choice but to go because my hometown has suffered a disaster." Master Tao bowed to him and said, "I am willing to follow Master Lin." "I have no other reason, I just admire the demeanor of Master Fan and Master Lin. I am willing to follow Master Fan and Master Lin to eliminate monsters, to broaden my horizons and gain some wealth." The man surnamed Lei also bowed and said. "Then let's work together to eliminate the demon!" "Work together to eliminate the demon!" Mr. Pan next to him also raised his hand to salute and said: "The Weishui River flows from west to east. Although it does not pass through Jinping County, it does pass by the gate of Jinping County. It is already night, and it is difficult to travel by land. I have asked the Ministry of Rites for a boat. Please go by water. When you arrive at the dock, just take the boat. Don't worry about anything else. We must arrive outside Jinping County before dawn." "it is good!" Only Master Fan stood aside, silent. Those who didn't know would think that Master Fan was just like this, unfathomable and everything was under control. But only Lin Jue and Luo Gong knew that he must be stunned at this moment. "Although we are out to exorcise monsters, we still need someone to stay in the capital. First, if we run into trouble, we will ask the egrets or even the monsters to send a letter back, and someone needs to receive the letter and go to Fengshan to ask my junior sister or my senior for help. Secondly, there are many villains in the capital, whether in the court or elsewhere. If there is any trouble, we need a powerful person to mediate. Fellow Daoist Fan has the highest status, and the monsters and ghosts in the capital all respect Fellow Daoist Fan. It is not easy to invite gods, so it is suitable for him to stay in the capital or the surrounding areas of the capital." Lin Jue said, and paused: "It's a good thing that Fellow Daoist Fan doesn't have to rush out of the city, so we can get there before the Stargazing Palace." "..." Tianshi Fan immediately cast a grateful look towards Lin Jue and said, "Then I will set up an altar on the mountain outside the city and light incense, and wait for your triumphant return." "Farewell." "Take care of yourself." Mr. Luo handed a horse to Lin Jue. Lin Jue took the reins and walked out. Behind him was his own fox, as well as Luo Gong, who was wearing a conical hat, a long sword on his waist, and leading a tall horse, looking very chivalrous. Then there were Mr. Pan, Wan Xinrong, Tao Daoyou and that famous person. It was actually quite grand and majestic. Leave the house and go out of the city. The gates of the capital city were originally closed, but they had also heard about what happened in the city tonight. Once Lin Jue arrived, with the written proof to open the gates, the gates were quickly opened. The night outside was indeed dark. In the darkness of night, there are often faint lights in the shops and villages outside the city. There is only one bright light hanging two miles away. That is the direction of Zhenjian Palace.

In addition to his own precious horse, Luo Seng also brought two horses, which were just right for Pan Gong and Wan Xinrong to ride. Tao Daoyou brought a horse himself and just lay down, turning into a tiger. Lin Jue summoned a paper donkey. The group walked quickly. When the officers and soldiers guarding the city behind him saw this, they all looked stunned. Soon we arrived at the lights, and indeed we saw a large lantern hanging on the door of Zhenjian Palace, as if to welcome guests. When the mountain gate opened, the lights inside illuminated the thick green smoke, and several Taoists stood quietly to see us off. Taoist Qingxuan, Taoist Jiang, and Junior Brother Ma had already prepared their bags and horses and were waiting. Lin Jue told them that they had to take the water route. So they went to the dock, and both men and horses boarded the dragon boat. Mr. Pan said nothing, but just bowed to them and jumped into the water. Plop! Just when everyone was confused, the dragon boat started moving on its own. Back off, turn, and go upstream. Everyone stood at the bow of the boat. After leaving the dock, except for the fox who could still see at night, everything around them was almost pitch black. The only sound they could hear was the sound of water splashing and the wind. Even though the lights on the dragon boat were lit one after another, they could only illuminate a small area of ​​the deck. Lin Jue stood with Taoist Jiang and Taoist Qingxuan. "Thinking back, the last time we went out to fight demons together, it has been a few years ago, right?" Lin Jue was enjoying the night breeze on the river. "What? Last time on Maple Mountain, I and Junior Sister Jiang did not take action. Doesn't that count?" Taoist Qingxuan replied. "That doesn't count." "It has indeed been a few years." Taoist Qingxuan sighed, "Time flies. Before I knew it, I have aged a few years, and you have become much more powerful. It has only been a short time since I came to the capital, but with just one call from Taoist Lin, so many Taoists are willing to follow you to fight monsters together." "They are following to exorcise demons, not necessarily me." "It's the same." Taoist Qingxuan said, "If you don't have prestige and virtue, how can they follow you even if you get rid of the monster?" Lin Jue shook his head and said nothing more. The wind at the bow was gentle at first, but as the dragon boat went farther and farther, it became stronger and stronger, demonstrating the speed of the dragon boat. Wan Xinrong, Taoist Priest Tao and the man were all very surprised. Later on, the speed of the dragon boat on the river was no less than that of a horse running on the shore. If it were daytime, the people on the shore could see it and would probably think it was a divine power. The night is similar. There were many goblins and ghosts near the capital, and the night was their world, with many goblins on the shore and underwater. At this time, the world was as bright as day in their eyes, and such a large dragon boat could naturally be seen from a long distance away. Some monsters couldn't help but talk in low voices. "what is that?" "It's the Juxian Mansion's boat. I remember that it was Master Fan who was on it last time."

"How can a ship move so fast? Could it be that Master Fan is going out to exorcise the demon again?" "Master Fan wasn't this fast last time..." "Which Heavenly Master is that?" While the monsters on the shore were whispering, they inadvertently glanced and saw a white fox standing on the side of the boat, turning its head and staring at them without blinking. Three more Taoists were standing at the bow, talking. Their clothes and hair were blown by the river wind. It seemed that one of them turned his head and glanced at them. The monster was frightened and immediately hid in the grass and forest. If the monsters on the shore were surprised, they were even more so underwater. This is because the figure that was moving with the boat underwater and using magic to make the boat move faster looked quite like the Wei River God. "Is that the river god? Isn't the river god dead?" "yes……" "Besides, what kind of person is the river god? Why would he help people push the boat?" "Maybe it's a great immortal..." In a moment of distraction, the dragon boat had sailed far away. There was no trace of the boat, only rippling waves that kept hitting the shore. The monsters in the water could not resist the turbulent current and their bodies swayed accordingly. Occasionally, some people get drunk by the river, some go fishing at night, and some people live by the river. They are awakened by the sound of the waves and water. They either open their sleepy eyes, or look away, or quietly open the window a little, and they see a dragon boat and the lights on the boat, which make it look like a fairy boat, as if carrying gods and spirits, quickly going away in the dark night.
