Chapter 350 Return to Yishan Lin Jue was stunned when he saw his fifth senior brother. The junior sister who came right after saw this and felt bitter in her heart. Most of the people who practice orthodox Taoism in the mountains have very good complexions. This is not only due to the merits of their practice, but also because they live a comfortable and easy life with few worries and troubles in their hearts. Therefore, even if they go to ordinary temples, without the orthodox spiritual inheritance and without knowing magic, as long as they practice and cultivate their minds seriously, those Taoist priests will mostly have very good complexions and can live a long life. The same is true for the second and seventh senior brothers. Only this fifth senior brother. He looks old because of his calm personality. Since he came down the mountain, he has seen countless sufferings in the lives of the people and has worried about countless troubles for others. He has changed a lot compared to before. Lin Jue realized after seeing this that it was no wonder that so many ethereal and free immortals were in the mountains, while those who were helping people solve their problems in the human world, no matter how capable they were, mostly had an inferior image. "Senior brother." Lin Jue looked at him, and all he could say could be reduced to one sentence: "You have aged a lot..." "Junior brothers and sisters are here." Fifth Senior Brother looked at them, "Haven't you guys changed a bit too?"

"Brother, several of you brothers are going back to Yishan. There are some things to do. Please go back as well. Let's just treat it as a small gathering." Lin Jue said to him. "Give me two days' grace." "No hurry, Senior Brother, you can wait for Senior Brother Two and Senior Brother Seven in the city. Let's go find Senior Brother Four first." "Thank you for your hard work." "See you at Yishan." The Taoist rode on the egret and left again. …… Biluo County is twenty miles outside Shimen Mountain. There is also a big mountain here. Clear and melodious flute sounds can be heard from the forest, floating above the treetops. From a distance, the mountain seems to be even quieter. But if you get closer, you will find that there are wolves in the forest, each of which is much larger than ordinary wild wolves, and is more agile and nimble, as if it is about to become a spirit. And in the distance, there are clouded leopards comparable to the size of leopards lying in ambush in the dark. High on the top of the mountain, a Taoist priest sat cross-legged on a rock, his eyes closed, playing the flute. Suddenly a white egret flew over the blue sky. Two figures came down from the egret's back, one was a young Taoist priest, and the other was a white fox. It was very small at first, but grew bigger when it landed on the ground. The sound of flutes in the mountains paused. As soon as the fox landed, it turned its head to look at the movement in the mountain, then it suddenly grew bigger and flew away with the wind. "Brother, are you here to exorcise demons?" "There is no other way. There are many demons and ghosts in the deep mountains. In troubled times, people's hearts are fickle. The demons and ghosts are also restless and harm the people working in the mountains. This place is remote and poor. They can't afford other magicians, so they have to come to the Shimen Mountain Temple to ask me for help to exorcise the demons." The fourth brother looked at him and said, "Why did you come to me suddenly, brother?" "I miss you brothers. Please come back to Yishan for a small gathering." "There must be something going on, right?"

The fourth brother smiled and turned to look at him. "some things." "That's just right. I corresponded with the eldest brother last month and heard that he accepted two disciples, a boy and a girl, who are very talented. I also suggested that we go back to Yishan to meet his two new disciples before the brothers leave for the day." The fourth brother said, "After I get rid of the monster and pack up, I'll set off right away." As soon as he finished speaking, a long wailing sound came from the distant mountains. It turned out to be a wild boar spirit. A five-tailed white fox, larger than a tiger, dragged a wild boar weighing a thousand pounds out of the forest. A loud eagle cry was heard overhead. A group of big wolves and clouded leopards were standing in the forest, staring at the fox in confusion and surprise. They felt it was familiar, yet almost couldn't recognize it. After thinking for a while, I remembered that it was the fox that always hung out with cats in the mountains. …… Seeking for a county. Apart from the Seventh Senior Brother, the Sixth Senior Brother should be living the most carefree and comfortable life. The words "carefree and comfortable" are not entirely correct, because each senior brother has his own hobbies and pursuits. For example, the second senior brother loves to study the way of alchemy, and the fourth senior brother loves to have fun with animals and birds in the mountains. Perhaps the life they lead is carefree and comfortable enough for them, and they would not be used to the life like the seventh and sixth senior brothers. However, in the minds of most people in the world, the days like those of Senior Brother Seven and Senior Brother Six should be the most carefree and comfortable. Sixth Senior Brother is even richer. After all, what Seventh Senior Brother is looking for is fun, and as for money, as long as it is enough, he will be content. If it is not enough, it will not take much effort for him to get it, but he will just store it somewhere else temporarily and ask others to keep it for him. The Sixth Senior Brother mainly practices the method of using the spirit writing brush. In this increasingly chaotic world, in Huizhou, where rumors say that he is recruiting soldiers and horses to start a business, he is destined to have many contacts with dignitaries. Even if these dignitaries know that it is useless for a cultivator to ask for so many yellow and white things, they will still continue to send them to express their feelings and respect. When the egret flew into the Taoist temple, Lin Jue saw that the entire temple was surrounded by guards and servants, and it was obvious that a distinguished person had arrived to visit. The voices of the people came from outside the door. "Can't I go in?" "You can't go in! The prefect is in the temple right now, visiting the masters there. If you want to burn incense, please come back another day, or wait a little longer!" The egret seemed to turn its head and look outside the door. Then he turned his head and looked towards the tea room in the courtyard. Lin Jue sat cross-legged on the egret's back without moving, while the fox walked to the edge of the egret's back and looked over. There were voices coming from the tea room. While waiting patiently, I listened casually and found that what they were talking about was surprisingly familiar. "It is said that there are several masters in the Juxian Mansion in the capital. Among them is Master Fan, who has been famous for more than ten years. There is also Master Nan, who once invited gods from Huizhou. In addition to the Great Demon King, there is also Lord Pan, who is the reincarnation of the river god. In recent years, there is also a 'Master Lin' who is good at magic. This state wants to ask the Taoist priest for advice. I wonder if these people are really capable or are they overrated?" "The prefect wants to ask, if you raise an army and the two armies fight, how many extraordinary people and masters will help you in the army, and will they help the court?"

"I can't hide it from the Taoist priest." "The prefect knows that I never answer questions like this." The voice of the sixth senior brother sounded in the tea room, and after a pause, "But I still want to listen to this 'Master Lin'." "This Master Lin has only been in the capital for a short time, but his reputation has risen quickly. He first killed the Alligator Dragon King by the Weishui River, and then went to Jinping County to get rid of a big monster. He even brought the monster's head back and passed through the city. If there are any monsters or ghosts in the city, they can ask him for help. He doesn't need to do it himself. He only needs one of his white foxes to go and get rid of the monster... Eh? Why are you laughing, Taoist?" "Nothing, please tell me." "There is a wiretap from our state saying that Jingyun Temple, which was built outside the capital for hundreds of years, was most likely destroyed by him. A few years ago, a foreign delegation came to congratulate them. The Dazu delegation brought many magicians and warriors. It is said that they fought with the strange people and masters of Juxian Mansion in the palace and had the upper hand for a time. It was not until he took action that the Dajiang court regained its face. One night after that, the Dazu delegation went to his mansion for a night raid. The next morning, someone saw the bodies of the Dazu magicians and warriors being carried out one by one." The governor seemed very worried: "This state is worried. Whether it's the other Tianshi Fan or Tianshi Nan, even if they really have abilities, their abilities are in the hands of the Nine Heavens Gods. The gods are not allowed to easily intervene in the fights between mortals. Only this 'Master Lin' has all the abilities, the real stuff, and they are all in himself. "And according to the intelligence from our state, when this 'Master Lin' went to Jinping County to exorcise the monster, many extraordinary people in the Juxian Mansion in the capital were watching. Later, Master Dazu provoked them in court, and the extraordinary people in Juxian Mansion and Central Plains were almost humiliated. After this 'Master Lin' took action, his reputation among the extraordinary people in Juxian Mansion was very high. "Honshu is afraid..." Suddenly a breeze blew in the yard. The guards and attendants in the Taoist temple had already raised their heads and looked at the egret standing on the tree in the courtyard. They looked at each other and whispered. The white cranes and egrets are naturally elegant, with fairy-like appearances. In addition, this Taoist temple is home to a true master, so everyone finds it strange and dares not offend. Suddenly, a voice came from the tea room: "I wanted to talk to the prefect for another hour, but the spirit medium just told me that my junior fellow apprentice came to visit. We haven't seen each other for several years. Why don't we talk to the prefect in detail next time?" "Oh? The Taoist's apprentice brother is here? Where is he?" "Already in the courtyard?" The prefect quickly got up, opened the window and looked out, but saw that the Taoist temple was empty except for the guards and attendants standing a few steps away, and a white egret on a tree in the courtyard. The Taoist walked out of the tea room and into the courtyard. Suddenly, someone got down from the egret's back and turned into a Taoist priest. It was like the legendary fairy scene, which shocked the Huizhou prefect and his many guards and followers. Coincidentally, the junior sister outside the door also arrived. The three brothers and sisters were naturally happy to meet each other. However, for Lin Jue and his junior sister, the emotions in their hearts were somewhat complicated and uneasy. This is already in Huizhou. It is less than two hundred miles to Yishan. I was excited because I was about to go back, but I was also afraid that the temple might have changed and was different from what I had imagined. I feel very uneasy. …… In the Yishan Mountain, at the foot of Fuqiu Peak. When Lin Jue came back for the first time, out of respect, he did not fly directly back to the Taoist temple on a heron, but landed when he was near the Yishan area and walked in with his junior sister. This respect is given to my master's school, Fuqiu Temple, one part to the mountain god who protects Mount Yishan, and one part to the senior who refuted me at the foot of Fuqiu Peak.

Lin Jue and his junior sister looked at each other and walked away. The fox and the cat followed behind, while the egret flew leisurely and slowly in the blue sky. For the junior sister, she has to continue going up and reach the lower half of the hill in front of her before she can see her old friends and old scenes. But for Lin Jue, he has already started to meet old friends here. "Is the senior here?" As soon as Lin Jue crossed the single-plank bridge, he looked around and shouted loudly. My heart was lifted. "senior? "senior……" I shouted several times but no one responded. The little sister followed him and turned her head to look around. Just as she was about to say to her brother, "Maybe that senior went to visit relatives today," she heard a voice from the forest: "Why are you turning around and looking around? Can you still see me?" It is a rebuttal to the predecessors. Lin Jue heaved a sigh of relief and bowed with a smile: "It's been a few years since we last met. How are you, senior?" "That's not right! What do you mean by not seeing each other for several years? Didn't we meet years ago?" "Ok?" Lin Jue was stunned for a moment before he realized that it meant that he was asking it for advice using the "Fuqi method". "After all, I didn't see it with my own eyes." "That's not right! Have you seen me with your own eyes now?" "..." Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, then smiled. This "refutation senior" has a very familiar voice and tone as soon as he opens his mouth. Just this one sentence made me feel like I was back in time several years ago. All the anxiety, uneasiness and worry I had about returning to Yishan suddenly disappeared without a trace. "Haha! Thank you, senior!" Lin Jue bowed with a smile and then walked up the mountain. The junior sister followed with a sword in hand. A fox and a colorful civet cat turned their heads around as they walked, and then played and chased after them. Unconsciously, it has gradually risen. Occasionally I would stop and look around. The reed path I came from, the surrounding forests, the steaming hot springs, and the Scissor Peak vaguely visible nearby were all still the same as I remembered. Passing through the woods, the Taoist temple gate comes into view. It was a faded vermilion door with two cats lazily lying at the door. Above the door was a plaque with the words "Fuqiu Temple" written on it, and on both sides were couplets:

Get the fresh air of mountains and rivers; Gather the spiritual charm of heaven and earth. The two cats twitched their ears, as if they had noticed something, and instantly raised their heads and stared at them. Then the pupils dilated rapidly. (End of this chapter)
