Chapter 50: Don't think about the endless things outside of yourself

Chapter 50 Don't think about the endless things outside of yourself (asking for monthly tickets) Two little junior sisters stood in front of Lin Jue, one on the left and one on the right, with a gap in between. There was also an archer with a drawn bow waiting for them. The two junior sisters both looked serious. "I ask, you answer." Lin Jue said to them while holding a machete. The two junior sisters were silent and serious. "What's your name, Master?" "He Xianyu!" "He Xianyu!" The two junior sisters spoke at the same time. When they heard each other's voices, they turned their heads and looked at each other.

"Master Yunhe!" "Master Yunhe!" They said it almost at the same time, with the same tone. "what?" Lin Jue felt it was a bit strange and pondered the reason, but he kept asking: "Where did we meet?" "on the way!" "on the way!" The two junior sisters looked at each other and added at the same time: "Under Hammer Mountain!" "Under Hammer Mountain!" After looking at each other again, the two junior sisters frowned deeply, and their expressions became more serious. "Drank the Thousand Days Wine!" "Drank the Thousand Days Wine!" "Don't speak at the same time, answer separately. Answer the left side of the next question, and the right side of the second question." Lin Jue said thoughtfully, "Where does the Thousand Days Wine come from?" The two junior sisters were both shocked at the same time. "Brother, I can't tell left from right!" "Brother, I can't tell left from right!" "Then whoever I point to will answer." Lin Jue said helplessly, "If you can't tell them apart, I'll tie you two up and wait until Third Senior Brother comes back or until dawn." "it is good!"

"it is good!" Lin Jue pointed to the left: "Answer this first!" "Tiger!" Lin Jue pointed to the right again: "Who did you meet later?" "Wolf demon!" Lin Jue frowned even more tightly. The two junior sisters also fell silent, then looked thoughtful, and then looked up at the same time. "Brother, it knows what we are thinking." "Brother, it knows what we are thinking." "Ask again." "Ask again." "Don't have the answer in your mind when you ask." "Don't have the answer in your mind when you ask." "Smart!" Lin Jue wanted to nod to his junior sister, but he didn't know which one was real, so he had to take it back, then pointed to the left, quickly thought of a question and asked, "What is the name of the fifth senior brother?" As soon as I asked the question, I immediately calmed my mind and put aside all distracting thoughts. It might be difficult for an ordinary person, even for a beginner in practice. However, Lin Jue started practicing Qi cultivation very early, so it was easy for him. "Jingqi." The sister on the left answered seriously. As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her head, closed her eyes, and cleverly resorted to crazy and fanciful thinking to stop her own thoughts. "Where's the Seventh Brother?" Lin Jue pointed to the junior sister on the right. "Women cannot be officials but can practice Taoism and become immortals. Women must get married but if they become female Taoists, they don't have to wait until I become an immortal. No one dares to throw me into the river if I learn how to grind stones..." The little sister on the right moved her mouth and muttered in a clear voice at a very fast speed. However, as she muttered, she gradually realized that something was wrong, and her voice became lower and lower, and she continued to recite almost by inertia. "I don't have to be called to work every day. I can work whenever I want... I don't have to... be... sold..." Until I couldn't read any more. "Canopy!" The little junior sister suddenly turned into a strange bird. There was no visible injury on her body, except for a red spot where Lin Jue had sprayed a breath of pure yang energy. "Suddenly..." An arrow shot out and pierced through it. Another burst of fire spewed out.

"Gah!!" With a sharp scream, a burst of black smoke and a foul stench spread out, and the strange bird gradually turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace. Lin Jue waved his hand, calling for a breeze. The stench was also blown out of the ancestral hall. Everyone was still in shock and hadn't recovered yet. Lin Jue looked at the junior sister and frowned: "Junior sister, what weird things were you thinking about just now?" The junior sister was shorter than him, but she looked up and looked at him calmly without saying a word. Seeing this, Lin Jue stopped asking. After a while, the third senior brother came back. Lin Jue still suspected that he was transformed by the big bird, but now that he knew that the big bird could transform and knew its ways, it was easy to distinguish it. The third brother had obviously encountered the big bird when he went out, and he must have been deceived by it during the collision. As soon as Lin Jue tried, he immediately understood. "What does Senior Brother like to do?" "He? A farmer! He digs the soil and plants crops!" As soon as these words came out, from the tone, I knew that this Third Brother was real. "Brother, come in quickly." "I saw the fire and shouting here, so I knew it was probably coming back to look for you." The third brother said, "How many did you encounter here?" "Two, killed one and the other ran away." “I didn’t expect there would be three of these strange birds here.” "three?" "One led me away, and the other two came back to find you. After I killed that one, I came back and ran into the one that ran away from you, and killed it as well." The third brother said casually, "This thing really hasn't grown up yet. It's just cunning and treacherous, but not very powerful. If you've anticipated it and been smart and alert, ordinary people can also defeat it." “We were just fooled by it.” "Who isn't?" The third senior brother said this and went to check on Zhang Da’s injuries. This man is seriously injured. In addition to the wound on his chest, his face was also scratched and wrapped with cloth. I don’t know if it can be healed, but he is a man and he managed to hold on, constantly calling for his mother. The third brother had no choice but to go to his house again and found that everyone in his family was fine. They came back and told him. Only then did he feel relieved and closed his eyes without saying a word. "Ugh……" The third brother looked at Lin Jue and the others and sighed, "Demons and ghosts are harming people! There weren't so many things in the past. Now the world is getting more and more chaotic. The sooner you see this clearly, the better it will be for you when you come down the mountain!" "understood."

"know." Then everyone closed the door of the ancestral hall again, sat down, and gradually felt sleepy. Only the fox was lively and didn't want to sleep. It ran around in the ancestral hall, and from time to time took a deep breath at the place where the big bird disappeared, as if trying to remember or trace its scent. When it was tired, it ran back to Lin Jue and lay down. …… The next morning, the mountain village was shrouded in fog. Someone had already opened the door. There is a rush of footsteps in the village streets. The villagers were still in shock and hurried home. Several black-clad warriors carried Zhang Da back to his home. Someone else took the token of Taoist Qingxuan and rode on horseback to invite the Taoist from Qiyun Mountain. Taoist Qingxuan and his companion also woke up and brought many magical instruments to the woods at the entrance of the village. Lin Jue and the other two were relatively relaxed and followed behind them. Walking through the village, I couldn't help but look around. I didn’t see it clearly last night, and it wasn’t until today that I saw what this small village looked like. In Lin Jue's opinion, the villages here can be roughly divided into three types: one is the village founded by famous scholars and great men, such as Hengcun, where people live together in clans and have been passed down for hundreds of years. Some of their descendants even serve as officials in the court; one is the village with many merchants, such as Shucun. Although it is not prominent, they do business together and are considered wealthy; and the other is a very ordinary farmer's village, which may have more than one clan in the village, and most of them are poor. Ogawamura is the third type. The houses here are smaller, older and more dilapidated. Many of them have neither white walls nor green tiles, but thatched houses with yellow mud walls. The village was not rich to begin with, and suffered from natural disasters and evil spirits. The village is dilapidated and even the popularity of the people is a little unpopular. Many people opened the door early in the morning, but just sat at the door, watching them walk by, just watching silently, as if they didn't have the strength to speak. "The people are suffering. I'm afraid they will suffer even more in a few years." The third brother sighed when he saw the villagers moving away from him, and then glanced at his two junior brothers and sisters, "The remaining souls have been burned clean. We are just waiting for the Taoist friends from Qiyun Mountain to set up the incense table and open the altar to invite the power of the gods to cleanse the evil spirits and death. Then this matter will be over. Junior brothers and sisters, don't worry anymore." Without waiting for the two to respond, he said to himself: "I am thirty years old this year, and I have lived a few years longer than you. This kind of thing is not uncommon. If you see it, help if you can. If you want to help, help if you want to. Otherwise, just pretend you didn't see it. But no matter what, don't let these things affect your mood. "Thinking so much is not helpful for understanding things, nor for spiritual practice. In my opinion, it is better to drink. “Don’t think about the endless things outside of yourself, just drink to the fullest while you have a limited life. "..." Lin Jue nodded, he understood. This is the separation of rationality and sensibility. But if it were that easy, where would the practice be? (End of this chapter)
