Chapter 397 Hard-working Third Brother A egret flew into Ziyun County. The egret flew very high, almost level with the clouds. After arriving in Ziyun County, it circled for a few times. Under the guidance of Chen Niu, it continued to observe and search for a while before flying down. "Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist." Lin Jue took the letter bag from its claws. Knowing that Fellow Daoist Bai Lu had set out from the capital last night to deliver letters to Senior Brother Seven and Senior Brother Four respectively, and flew back this afternoon, he must have traveled day and night, so he handed over an elixir. "Thank you, fellow Taoist." "Gah..." The egret took the elixir in its beak, tilted its head back and swallowed it with a very graceful posture. "I may need your help in delivering messages during this period." Lin Jue saluted it and said, "Also, this place is close to Modu Mountain, which is the territory of the Queen Mother of the East. There are many goblins and ghosts here. There are also straw men in the wilderness who will shoot arrows into the air. If it is not necessary, try to go out less. If you do go out, be sure to be careful and fly higher."

"Gah!" "Thank you." Lin Jue then opened the letter bag and took out two letters. They were written by Senior Brother Seven and Senior Brother Four respectively. The main point is simple: they have set out to come. In addition, there were many words of concern for him, reminding him to be careful and if there was a more dangerous fight, to wait until they arrived before acting together. "Also, if Junior Brother finds Senior Brother Three first, please ask him for me what's going on with the savages." This was the last sentence added by the fourth brother. "Finally, I have written another letter and handed it to the fifth, sixth and eldest brothers, asking them to be prepared. If the battle here becomes difficult, I will ask them to come and help." This was the last sentence added by the Seventh Senior Brother. Lin Jue put the letter away with a calm expression. Senior Brother Seven should have basically the same idea as him. Although the Fifth and Sixth Senior Brothers had gone down the mountain for several years, their abilities were no longer limited to medicine and spirit writing, but they were still not good at fighting, so Lin Jue did not inform them immediately. Moreover, the Fifth Senior Brother's reputation in Zhongzhou had gradually risen, which was his good fortune, and the Sixth Senior Brother also had his own career in Huizhou, which was progressing steadily, so Lin Jue did not want to disturb them easily. The eldest senior brother is already the abbot of the temple and has also accepted disciples. He is responsible for the inheritance of the legacy. Recently, he has been preaching to the disciples of Xianyuan Temple and Fuqiu Temple, so it is not good to disturb him. The same goes for the second brother. Moreover, although Huizhou is relatively peaceful, it is only relative. The chaotic times have arrived and the people of Huizhou also need Taoists to exorcise demons. However, this is only true when the situation is not urgent. If the situation is critical, we will naturally have to ask them for help. It’s a good thing that Senior Brother Seven delivered the letter in advance. Lin Jue put away the letter and suddenly heard a voice from next door: "No love, no hate...

"Tsk! This is the beginning of a free and easy life..." I haven't heard Third Brother reciting poetry while drunk for a few years, and his style is still the same. "Ah……" This Taoist priest is so cool! Lin Jue was a little annoyed and knocked on the wall next door: "Tuk tuk..." "Hmm?" The third brother was in high spirits and asked excitedly, "Why are you knocking on my wall? Are you lonely at night and want to drink and talk with me?" "Have you seen the Yin-Yang spells I gave you? Are you willing to learn those spells? If you have any questions, you can discuss them with me." Lin Jue said, "In addition, my sister has a magic movement method. Several brothers have learned it. Third brother should also comprehend and practice it as soon as possible. After you learn it, it will be much more convenient for us brothers to visit each other." There was no sound from that side for a long time. After a long time, a Taoist muttered after drinking: "What a mess! Why are you in such a hurry? I still have at least a hundred years to live. What great Yin-Yang method or magic spell? Why do you have to rush to deal with it today or tomorrow..." But I never thought that the wooden walls had poor sound insulation. "Brother, what you said is wrong! Although there is a poem that says, 'Drink today if you have wine today, worry tomorrow when tomorrow comes,' but today, brother, there is not only wine on the table, but also the worries of the north at this time." Lin Jue said, "Now, brother and I are guarding here together to prevent the Queen Mother of the East from attacking. It is related not only to the lives of the people of Ziyun, but also the lives of my fellow brothers and sisters. Brother, you should practice the Great Yin-Yang Method as soon as possible and comprehend the magic as soon as possible. If the Queen Mother of the East sends troops to attack, the more chances of victory, the more safety you will have." "You are a monk, right? I never saw you recite the Yin Yang Sutra so smoothly when I was reciting it in the Moving Mountain Hall!" "Not only that..." Lin Jue paused, looked at the wood carving in his room and the half bucket of spiritual gold beans, and said, "Junior brother, I have something to ask you for help." "Don't try to fool me!" "It's really something important." Lin Jue's tone was very serious. Although what I said just now was meant to tease Third Senior Brother, it was indeed the truth. Now that I'm here, I have to protect the people of Ziyun County and resist possible invasion from the Queen Mother of the East. In addition to daily patrols and not slacking off, I also have to improve my fighting skills. Third Senior Brother is already good at fighting. I don’t know if he has encountered other opportunities and learned other spells in the years after going down the mountain. But with his talent, if he can switch to practicing the Great Yin-Yang Method as soon as possible, he will surely make rapid progress. And if he can add the magic of divine movement and the spell given to him by Lin Jue, his fighting ability will definitely not be bad. For Yu Linjue, the most urgent task to improve his fighting ability is to make Longbo Bean Soldiers. "Squeak..." There was the sound of a door opening in the next room, and some vague footsteps in the corridor. Third Brother pushed the door open and reeked of alcohol. No matter how lazy I am, I still have to help my junior. However, as soon as he entered the room, he immediately saw the half-human-high wooden sculpture of the God of War on the table, and a large bag of spiritual gold beans next to it. He was stunned and even sobered up a little: "Junior brother, this is..." "Brother, have you ever heard of Long Bo Dou Bing?" "Of course I've heard of it..." The third brother stared at the statue on the table in a daze, "There are four of them in our Taoist temple."

"Is there any in our Taoist temple?" "Of course there are. Longbo Bean Soldiers are the highest pursuit of the method of carving beans into weapons. Our predecessors in the past generations, whoever specialized in carving beans into weapons, unless they died young, would have practiced this magic to the pinnacle of perfection before their death, and would naturally think about this." The third brother's eyes were wide open, "It is said that of the four Longbo Bean Soldiers, two were left by the two previous temple masters, and the other two were sent back to the Taoist temple by the predecessors who went down the mountain before they died. In a thousand years, there are only four, and all four appeared during the troubled times." "Brother, you have traveled all over the country in the past few years. Have you found any traces?" Lin Jue asked. "How can it be that easy? Dragon uncles are rare, and residual souls are even rarer. Even now that troubled times are approaching and demons from all sides are on the stage, traces of dragon uncles are beginning to emerge. I have also seen one, but that was a living dragon uncle. Those who have died and turned into residual souls are too rare." "I heard that Uncle Long often appears in troubled times. If you are determined, it won't be difficult to find him." "That's easy to say! Unless you go to places where demons are rampant and gods and ghosts are fighting!" The third brother shook his head and said, "Besides, even if you get the help of Long Bo's residual soul, it's not easy to gather such a large piece of top-grade spiritual wood and so much spiritual gold. I have been traveling around in the past few years and have found many heroic residual souls willing to help, but the spiritual wood they need has not been gathered yet." "This is not a difficult task for you, brother." Lin Jue paused for a moment and got straight to the point: "Junior brother, luckily, found a dragon uncle who was willing to help from the Northwest Leopard King. It has been several months since then. I have always wanted to make a body for it as soon as possible so that it can live there and help me get rid of the monster. Unfortunately, making armor and weapons is too complicated and cannot be completed in a short time. Now that I am here, I am even more anxious. So I would like to ask Third Senior Brother to help me bring this dragon uncle back to the light of day as soon as possible. If the Queen Mother of the East sends monster soldiers to attack, it will also be a great help." "Alas, Junior Brother, you are able to face the Northwest Leopard King directly. That is a place where demons are rampant and gods and demons fight. It is not a fluke." The third senior brother seemed to be much more sober. "Junior Brother, you want me to do the hard work for you and make armor and weapons, right?" "That's right! Brother is far better than me in this aspect. I think he will be much faster than me!" "Ugh……" "Thank you, senior brother!" Lin Jue smiled and thanked him first, then said, "Brother, you just said that you have received many remaining souls of heroes who are willing to help you, but you haven't gathered all the spiritual wood you need?" "How can I explain this..." The third brother shook his head, not ashamed: "Brother, I am upright, heroic, and charming. All the remaining souls of the heroes in the martial arts world are willing to help me. With so many heroes, there are not enough spiritual woods. Moreover, I have not been able to subdue demons and monsters as often as my brother in the past few years. I have killed two demon kings. It all depends on luck and chance. I can't find good spiritual woods, and I don't like the bad ones..." "That's true. Before I came back from the Western Regions, I got the remaining souls of 28 heroes willing to help me, and it took a long time to gather the required spiritual wood. Brother, you are busy traveling and talking about love, so it's normal that you don't have enough spiritual wood." Lin Jue smiled at him, "It just so happens that I killed the leopard king in the northwest a few months ago, and found a lot of good things in its cave, including some spiritual wood of good quality. Brother, take a look and see if there is anything you like. If you like it, feel free to use it first." Lin Jue said this as he opened the cloth bag. "talk later……" The third senior brother waved his hand, bent down and looked closely at the wood carving on the table, then picked up the large bag of spiritual gold and began to examine it. With his vision, he could naturally tell at a glance that this wood sculpture had been refined for a period of time and should have been larger, and the spiritual gold was also of the best quality. According to his junior fellow apprentice, this spiritual gold was the weapon of the Leopard King, which he obtained in times of distress. He was not envious, but that piece of thousand-year-old floating iron wood was given by the God of Yishan Mountain, which made him feel uncomfortable with envy. At some point, two stone horses stood in front of the official post station, one on the left and one on the right, standing very symmetrically. From the next day on, the jingling sound was heard again in the official post station. The junior sister was responsible for igniting the fire to melt the spiritual gold, the newly recruited hard worker, the third senior brother, beat it into scales, and Lin Jue was responsible for the final processing and inlaying. The speed is indeed more than twice as fast as before. (End of this chapter)
