Chapter 466: Invite Senior Brother Zhang to Have a Drink

Chapter 466: Invite Brother Back for a Drink The fox was very cunning. It immediately jumped off the clouds and landed in the fluffy flowers. It sniffed here and there, trying to find something. Those "common people" just stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. At this time, most of the anger in their hearts disappeared. Some were stunned and had no time to be angry, while others felt that anger was useless and turned into despair. The Queen Mother is dead, who can defeat him? Without the Queen Mother of the East, where would they go? I'm afraid it will be reduced to ashes if it is blown away. However, the gods in the clouds looked down at them, without any murderous intent in their eyes, only calmness: "I won't hold you accountable, but this is your own choice, and I won't save you. Since you are dead, go to where you should go." After saying that, he waved his sleeves, and a breeze blew, dispersing all the black smoke in the sky. The world regained its clarity, and golden light reappeared above the head. Through the golden light cover, a few clouds could be vaguely seen floating above.

Lin Jue looked up and shouted: "Is the priest here?" "exist!" Immediately, a cloud passed through the golden light and carried the two priests into the golden light shield. The first thing they did was to look down and then look at Lin Jue. "What do you want, Master?" "Please ask the underworld's ghost officials to come and take away the ghosts of these people." "These……" "He is a follower of the Queen Mother of the East. He is also a person who cannot have enough food to eat, cannot wear warm clothes, cannot provide for his elderly parents, cannot raise his babies, has no money to buy medicine when he is sick, and can only wait to die when he is injured. Therefore, he was attracted by the Queen Mother of the East's kindness and followed her." "I understand!" said the priest. "Then the Queen Mother of the East..." "All life is gone here, her soul is gone, and there is no soil for her to make a comeback." Lin Jue said, "If you are worried, ask the True Lord to check again." "We will report it immediately!" The two priests looked at each other, and immediately one of them separated into a cloud and left, probably to report. Lin Jue nodded without saying anything more. When the fox jumped back into the clouds, the white clouds carried them away slowly. A priest was left standing under the golden light, looking down at the land full of flowers and vitality, as well as the ghosts with despair on their faces, and he was secretly frightened. …… The white clouds came out of Modu Mountain and went straight to Jiguang County. The fox stood on the cloud, looking up at him seriously: "Your fur has turned black again!" "Yes." "White is beautiful!" said the fox. "I am white!"

"possible……" Outside Jiguang County, the chinaberry tree is still there. The ghost of Master Fan still lingers here. The aroma of incense was strong, but he refused to accept any of them, nor did he want to be summoned to heaven. He only wanted to be a ghost, not a god. However, what is different from before is that Lin Jue once placed a statue here, and Fan Tianshi, who saved Jiguang County, was also buried here. Therefore, after Lin Jue and others left, the people of Jiguang County spontaneously donated money to build a temple in front of this neem tree to enshrine the statue and Fan Tianshi's tomb and tablet. It is worth mentioning that the statue has always been here. Lord Fu Chi did not take it back or destroy it, nor did he let his followers take it away. Instead, he let it stay here, together with the fraudster whom he despised. In just seven years, the ghost in the tree has changed from a new ghost to an old ghost. Although there is no sign of disappearing, its reaction has become much slower. This may not only be caused by the wind, sun, rain and moonlight, but also by the loneliness and boredom after becoming a ghost. Lin Jue chose the deserted evening time and came here on a cloud. When he arrived, he poured him a glass of wine, sat and watched the sky gradually darken, and sighed deeply: "Daoyou, I told you long ago that being a god is not easy, but being a wild ghost is not so easy either..." In the dim light, a blurry figure emerged from the tree. "It's good...it's good..." The figure's expression seemed a little dazed. "How have you been these past few years, fellow Daoist?" "I like it..." "What's a good idea?" "At night... entering the city... is my hometown..." the figure said intermittently, "During the day... someone is offering sacrifices... passers-by stop by to rest... listen to them talking... burn incense for me..." "Ok?" "This time it's...real..." Although it was not explained clearly, Lin Jue understood it. This time he really saved people and did the work of a Heavenly Master, so the sacrifices and offerings from the nearby people and the admiration from passers-by were different from before. Lin Jue just shook his head, raised his glass and drank, without saying much, and then said: "Today I went to Modu Mountain specially to put an end to the Queen Mother of the East who refused to die. It can be regarded as revenge for you, the people here, and the dead Juxianfu masters and soldiers who defended the city." "well……" "Since there are passers-by resting here, have you listened to what they say about the current world affairs?" "..." "After Lord Luo returned to the north, he raised an army with the support of his family and has now occupied the entire north. The emperor abdicated and the crown prince took over, but his behavior is even more absurd than before. Lord Pan has not been seen for a long time. It is said that he is now fighting with the Wei woman in the Weishui River. The fight is fierce and it is difficult to tell who will win." Lin Jue told him the story slowly. The blurry figure actually picked up the wine glass and drank while listening.

Before I knew it, the moon was high in the sky. "It's time for me to go too." Lin Jue stood up. "I don't know when I'll come to see you next time I pass by here. Anyway, now that I have achieved enlightenment, I'm one step closer to becoming a true immortal. Let's see whether I should cultivate the ability to bring people back to life first, or gather the ingredients for the Shenhua Rejuvenating Pill first. Fellow Daoist, just spend some time here slowly." Having said that, he left no trace of regret. A white cloud floated down from the sky, Lin Jue took a step forward and left. …In the deep clouds and mist of Mount Yi, there is a Taoist temple with ancient pines. "Master!" The two young Taoist priests in the Taoist temple raised their heads and looked at a white cloud floating in the sky. They were very surprised and turned their heads to shout behind them: "A cloud floated over our Taoist temple!" "Master! A deity is visiting us!" An honest middle-aged Taoist priest walked out quickly, shielded his eyes with his hands to avoid the light, and looked up. Sure enough, I saw a white cloud floating on the top of the Taoist temple. Because this white cloud looks exactly like the clouds in the sky, it is actually very difficult to tell its size and height when looking at it from this perspective. Only by seeing the human figure above the cloud can you make some distinction. Just looking at it this way, it's just pitch black. But from above the clouds, a voice suddenly came: "Brother! What do you think of my white cloud?" "ah!" The two little Taoist priests were surprised. "It's Uncle Master!" "Eighth Uncle?" Lin Jue smiled slightly, and then let the clouds slowly descend. "Really Eighth Uncle? Meet Eighth Uncle!" "Meet Eighth Uncle!" The two young Taoist priests bowed to him. Although he is called a young Taoist priest, he is actually already a teenager. Judging from their appearance alone, they are not much different from Lin Jue and the junior sister when they first came to the mountain. "You guys have grown up too..." As Lin Jue spoke, he came down from the cloud, holding a silver mirror in his hand and handed it to the eldest brother: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for lending me the Mountain-Moving Mirror. Otherwise, I might not have been able to pass that level." "Junior brother Tengyun is back?"

"Don't worry, I went to the mountain god first, paid my respects to him, and got his permission before I came here on a cloud." "Have you achieved enlightenment?" "nature." "Master is right." The eldest brother seemed to have guessed it long ago and was not surprised. He just sighed, "Our Fuqiu Temple has also produced an immortal." “I won’t be the last.” At this moment, another figure walked out from the inner courtyard and shouted as soon as he saw him: "Brother!" It’s the junior sister. "You're back too?" Lin Jue was surprised. "I guessed that after my senior brother had eliminated the Queen Mother of the East, he would return to Mount Yi. I was afraid that he would fly on clouds and I would not be able to catch up, so I turned into a bird and flew back first." The little sister said, and suddenly smiled, "And I deliberately didn't tell them that my senior brother had already achieved enlightenment and would return on clouds." "intimate!" Lin Jue felt relaxed only after returning here, as if he could stop thinking about anything and worry about nothing. Even if he had achieved enlightenment, it would not have given him such a sufficient sense of security. However, he did not enter the inner courtyard immediately, but went to the cemetery in the back mountain first. Of course, I have to tell my master about this matter of achieving enlightenment. I walked to the back of the mountain and found the newest grave. I lit three sticks of incense and whispered: “Master, I have lived up to your teachings and guidance. I have now achieved enlightenment and found the way to enlightenment for Fuqiu Temple. From now on, people, generation after generation, will no longer have to worry about this. “It’s a pity that Master can’t see it with his own eyes. "..." The fox was beside him, looking serious. Junior sister and Xiaohua also accompanied him. Thinking back to the time when I went down the mountain, I still remember the rhododendrons and magnolias all over the mountain. However, more than ten years have passed since I came down the mountain. And I still can't forget the life in the mountains. After a long time, he finally returned to the Taoist temple. Lin Jue said to his junior sister, "Write a letter to ask the other senior brothers to come back. Tell them that I have achieved enlightenment and will hold a banquet on Mount Yi, inviting them to come back for a drink." "it is good!" The junior sister agreed without hesitation, but paused for a moment and suddenly thought: "Doesn't that mean there is no place for the third senior brother?" "some!" A voice came from the side, clear and thin:

"The fox left his paw prints on his jade horse, on the palace box! We can find him!" "what?" "Fox! Smart!" "Then call him back to the feast." The little sister said with a serious face, her mind full of distracting thoughts, "Let him see the little brother who has achieved enlightenment, and see what he says." "it is good!" The fox turned into a crow and flew away. (End of this chapter)
