Chapter 423: If you don't leave, you have to use magic to drive them away A egret flew over and landed on the crabapple tree in the yard. The Taoist put down his bag, and the fox rolled over in the yard, then began to play around freely. "Brothers, please find a room to live in. If you want to live in the courtyard, you will have to share a room with two or three people. If you want to live alone, you can live in the courtyard that originally belonged to Fellow Daoist Fan." Lin Jue said, pointing to an attic in the corner of the courtyard. "There are monsters in the attic, which are the 'foxes' commonly seen in the capital. I have made an agreement with them to divide the attic into upper and lower floors. They usually play upstairs, and the lower floor is ours, so please don't go upstairs to disturb them." "Brother, there is a 'fox' here?" "Nowadays, 'foxes' are not rare in the capital. Many remote or sparsely populated houses have ghosts temporarily living there." "Do you know what he looks like? What's his name?" "I never asked, and we didn't bother each other." "Junior brother is quite elegant." After hearing this, several senior brothers did not ask any more questions. "My fellow brothers, you must be tired. Take a rest for now. We will go out and find a restaurant to have a meal later. The leaves on Fengshan Mountain will turn red soon. It will be a good opportunity for us to stay at my junior sister's place for a while. We can also seal my spiritual wood there."

Lin Jue said this and went back to his room first. The furnishings in the room remain the same. Lin Juexian took out everything in the cloth bag one by one. Clean clothes, a wood carving of a silver-eating ghost, the little remaining silver, some elixirs, ancient books, earth-spirit elixirs, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, mother-of-pearl boxes, half-finished statues, natural treasures, night watch lamps, paper donkeys, a dozen or so magical instruments that had not been distributed, and some sundries. Lin Jue first threw his clothes into the basket, then placed the night watch lamp on the table. He also took out the unfinished statue and carving knife and placed them in the appropriate places, then picked up the Earth Spirit Pill. The spiritual charm above is indeed mysterious. Lin Jue looked at it for a while, then carefully put it into the mother-of-pearl box together with other elixir materials, then closed the box and put it back into the cloth bag. The cloth bag is placed next to the pillow in the house. Keep the night lights lit. This cloth bag is really a good thing, but unfortunately, there must be similar treasures in the hands of Queen Mother of the East or the monsters under her command. However, the battle was too chaotic and I dared not be distracted and had no intention of looking. After the battle, I did not find anything similar. However, they did find some things that were almost as useful as the night watch lamp, such as the jade horse chosen by the third senior brother and the bone pendant chosen by the fifth senior brother. It's time to look for other materials. But before that, there is still work to do in the capital. For example, entertaining a few senior brothers, listening quietly to the general situation of the world, having a good sleep and rest, and for example, when I come back here to refine the elixir, I will definitely need someone to protect me, and I can't bother with the protection until the time comes, otherwise it will be too late. All of them are very important and difficult to distinguish from each other. As for the silver that was about to be eaten up, Lin Jue was not worried. Maybe there will be income again soon. And after a few years, I might not be able to use this Lingyuan Pill anymore. ……

That night, we found a restaurant. As soon as I entered the door, I felt something strange—— This was the restaurant where Master Fan often ordered dishes in the past, and it was also the restaurant where he often invited Lin Jue and others to dine. Now there was a statue of a god placed in the middle of the restaurant. It was a middle-aged Taoist with an immortal look, and behind him was an old servant with a slightly bent waist. It was obvious at a glance that it was Master Fan. But it's not that I'm surprised. This was something Lin Jue had already expected. This restaurant should be just a representative one. At this time, there should be quite a few merchants, common people and even dignitaries in the capital who worship Master Fan. I could only shake my head and sigh what a pity. "Ah! Master Lin!" The guy was smart and immediately lowered his voice. "Please come in, real person." They ordered a table of dishes, which were the usual ones, and a pot of wine, the restaurant's signature Yujingchun. They also listened to the conversation in the next room for an hour about the Queen Mother of the East, Master Lin, and Master Fan, who had descended to the mortal world to experience tribulations and returned to heaven. Even several of the senior brothers could not help but be curious and asked Lin Jue and the younger junior sister about what happened in the capital and Master Fan that night. The next day, there was no peace in the mansion. The high-ranking officials, princes, nobles, and royal relatives in the capital city, when they heard that Lin Jue, who had gone to the northeast of Qinzhou and fought against the Queen Mother of the East with his great magical powers, had returned to the capital with several senior brothers, even though they knew that Lin Jue was unwilling to have close contacts with others when he was in the capital city in the past, they still shamelessly came to visit him. no way-- These are living gods who can fight against the demon king! Even if there is only a slight possibility, even if they can only make a familiar face, they still want to come! Even if it is a waste of time, but since everyone is going, they dare not let the gods know that they didn't go! In response to this, Lin Jue simply told his old servant to refuse entry. I don't want any gifts. The old servant Fan Tianshi is also very clever—— He himself was a mute and never spoke, and Master Fan did not tell others that he was deaf or dumb. In addition, he looked old and honest. At this moment, he just stood at the door, with his mouth open, dully silent. No matter how prominent the official was, how nice the words he brought, or how powerful his words were in requesting a meeting, it was of no use, he just pretended not to hear. Even the prince came in person to pay a visit. The emperor also sent someone to invite him to a meeting in the palace. Perhaps in their eyes, Lin Jue has become a god who can help them continue their national prosperity and resist the northern military garrison. However, Lin Jue treats them all equally. The old servant is also like this—— Because he is a deaf-mute. Countless people were blocked outside the door, unable to enter, but unwilling to leave, so they stood guard at the door, and the gifts piled up into a mountain. Carriages and sedan chairs blocked the road outside the door. How many times have the people of the capital seen such scenes, and how many times have they seen so many dignitaries and royal relatives at the same time. In order to watch the excitement, they all gathered together and looked inside the alley, making this already congested road even more crowded. Lin Jue had not expected such a scene. However, they never expected that among the crowd of dignitaries and royal relatives, a minor official came with a few clerks. After seeing them, the old servant welcomed them in.

The group of dignitaries were greatly surprised. This was because this was Wu Lingshi from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Shrines, an old acquaintance of Lin Jue and Fan Tianshi, and he came to give him some silver. "Greetings, Master Lin." Wu Lingshi raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his face. "Master Lin, it's so lively here that I almost couldn't get in." "Isn't this coming in?" "I must have some good fortune to be able to see the real face of Master Lin." Wu Lingshi raised his head and smiled, while secretly glancing at his seventh senior brother who was pacing beside him and his third senior brother who was lying down drinking, he said, "Master Lin is indeed a living immortal. The Eastern Queen Mother's Immortality Sect is so powerful, but it can't resist the master's magical powers." "How much credit do I have?" Lin Jue shook his head and said, "Let's talk about business." "Let's get down to business! Let's get down to business!" Wu Lingshi nodded repeatedly, "This time the Queen Mother of the East harmed the world, and the Changsheng Cult endangered the government. Thanks to the help of the Immortal, we were able to get rid of the Queen Mother of the East and the Changsheng Cult. Of course, although the Immortal is already a god, since the Immortal is affiliated with the Juxian Mansion, according to the rules, the Ministry of Rites still has a portion of the tribute to the Immortal, and add some wine and tea." This time there were four clerks carrying two boxes. When I opened it, it was all silver. There is nothing else besides this. Wu Lingshi maintained his salute posture, lowered his head and said nothing. Lin Jue looked up at him and smiled slightly. This Wu Lingshi is really smart. The two sides have dealt with each other many times, and I think he has gradually figured out that he is only interested in silver. So this time it's only silver. "Thank you very much." Lin Jue said casually without any other expression, "It's too noisy outside today. After Lingshi goes out, tell them a few words for me." "Real people, please speak!" "The first sentence is: Please leave quickly and do not disturb my meditation, otherwise I will cast a spell to drive you away." Lin Jue said, "The second sentence is, this year is not good. If you want to live in peace, you don't have to ask me for help, just ask yourself and do good for the people every day. If they take the opportunity to do evil, not to mention karma, if I know about it, I will also cast a spell to deal with them!" "!" Wu Lingshi shuddered all over and nodded repeatedly. Once upon a time, wasn't he also an official who bullied the weak? For a moment, I felt that Master Lin was speaking to the people outside, but I also felt that Master Lin was speaking to myself. "I am resigning..." Wu Lingshi put down the silver and quickly retreated. The courtyard regained a brief moment of peace. "Master Lin is so impressive!" The third brother moved the bed to the yard, lay down in the sun and drank, teasing him, "Among us brothers, Master Lin is the one who has done the best since he came down the mountain." "Junior brother, there are too many people gathered here. It's time to take care of it." Senior Brother Seven paced back and forth, "It makes me embarrassed to go out and see the music, singing and dancing in the capital." "Just go, senior brother. Do they think they can stop you?" Lin Jue ignored the third senior brother and only spoke to the seventh senior brother. "How can that be possible?" Senior Brother Seven immediately refused. "If someone sees me leaving here, or if someone recognizes me coming back with Junior Brother, wouldn't that bring shame to Junior Brother and Fuqiu Peak?"

"Ouch!" The third brother was startled and turned to look at him, "You also know this?" "..." Lin Jue and Seventh Senior Brother looked at each other and ignored him. The fourth brother sat in the yard, facing the crabapple tree and the clouded leopard sitting under the tree, painting at the table. While painting, he listened to their conversation and smiled. Fifth Brother was thinking in the room, no one knew what he was thinking about. The only one who went out was Sixth Senior Brother. I don’t know where he went. I could faintly hear the sound of carriages and horses outside. It should be that after Wu Lingshi went out, he conveyed Lin Jue's words. Those people saw Master Lin's determination, felt frightened, and all left. However, they never expected that after that day, there was indeed no one gathering outside the door, but these dignitaries, princes and nobles exchanged their gifts for silver and placed them on the curb in front of the door. Rumor has it that Master Lin likes silver, and another rumor is that Master Lin wants to use it to make pills. "These people do have some skills." Lin Jue shook his head and muttered to himself, and also refused to accept any of them. (End of this chapter)
