Yishan, Fuqiu Temple.
At this time of year, the temperature on the mountain is just right. There is no rain or fog today, so the Taoist temple stands quietly in the mountain forest, looking so peaceful.
“It’s so reassuring here.”
"Peace of mind!"
The fox followed behind him, imitating him in a low voice.
"You said, senior brother didn't starve to death, right?"
"I'm starving!"
Lin Jue pushed the door open and walked in. The fox followed behind with small steps and lightly crossed the threshold.
"I'm back."
Lin Juexian shouted like this.
The fox was smart and did not learn this sentence. Instead, he stretched his neck to look inside, sniffed again, and felt a little confused.
No one responded inside, only the fine dog from the temple came out to greet him.
"Why is it only you?
"Where are the people?"
The dog looked sickly and did not answer.
Lin Jue glanced at the thin dog and walked into the inner courtyard. The scene that greeted him shocked him——
In front of the Banshan Hall, there are several chairs lined up side by side, with several senior brothers sitting on them, and the younger junior sister is also there.
Then he saw that the little junior sister's face was dark, the seventh senior brother's face was sallow, and the sixth senior brother's face was pale and sweating. The two people lying with their heads back and down could not see their faces clearly, they should be the fifth senior brother and the fourth senior brother.
They seemed to be stretched out on chairs, with their hands hanging down, not knowing whether to live or die.
There is also an empty chair.
Lin Jue looked forward along the chair and saw that the third senior brother didn't know where he was going. He was walking with his waist bent and holding on to the wall.
Suddenly turning his head, he saw Lin Jue, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately wanted to stand up, but failed, and frowned and bent down again.
"this?"
Lin Jue couldn't help but be stunned.
What's going on?
Why does it feel like you've been poisoned?
"Junior brother..."
An old, trembling voice came from the usually high-spirited Third Senior Brother.
When the others heard the sound, the younger sister, seventh brother and sixth brother immediately turned their heads and looked at Lin Jue with a look of despair. The fifth brother put his head down and looked at Lin Jue. The fourth brother was still deeply concerned.
She lowered her head, wondering if she was still alive.
"Master...brother..."
"Junior brother..."
Some people can still make a sound, while others can only open their mouths.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Jue ran over quickly. His first thought was that after he left, a big demon came to the door and severely injured all the senior brothers and sisters in the temple.
But if I look carefully and think about it carefully, I don't think it looks like it.
"Junior brother...you are finally back..."
"What's going on?" Lin Jue looked at the third senior brother closest to him, "When I left, didn't I tell my junior sister to cook for you? How did it become like this?"
"You're not...in trouble, are you..."
"Don't worry about me anymore, let's talk about what's going on with you."
"you do not know……"
The third senior brother held on to the wall and said to him with a sad look on his face: "You don't know, Master, Master said that it is too late for our generation of disciples to go up the mountain. The Taoism... is too low. We happen to be in troubled times again and are afraid that we will go down the mountain.
After that, I was embarrassed by Fuqiu Guan, and I was afraid that we would be in danger, so you... you just left..."
"Speak slowly."
"Don't, don't interrupt me." The third senior brother said to him, "You just gave each of us a Spiritual Essence Pill when you left. Most likely, he got it from the Kowloon Temple."
"Then what?"
"And...for..."
"And in order to ensure that the effectiveness of Lingyuan Dan is not wasted and that there are no side effects, we ask you to learn how to take it like the second senior brother?" Lin Jue felt uncomfortable hearing this, so he simply spoke for him.
"Quickly..."
"No wonder."
Lin Jue nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, I thought I was asking my junior sister to cook for them, but it turned out that my junior sister had some bold ideas.
"In the past few days, it's been all the cooking done by the second brother, and every day there's something noisy." The third senior brother said, "It's just the right time for you to come back, and you have one, so you have to learn from it."
When Lin Jue heard this, he couldn't help looking at him pitifully: "Brother, you are really confused. You have forgotten that I have learned how to take food a long time ago."
"..."
"And I learned slowly, not quickly."
"..."
The third senior brother looked at him in astonishment.
The fox raised his head and observed the third senior brother.
"Then you continue to take poison and practice taking it until you learn how to take it." Lin Jue picked up a bamboo tube from his waist and sighed, "Oh, I passed by Langtou Mountain on the way back and met the mountain god of Langtou Mountain again. Because of fate, he was
He invited him to have a chat and drink, and what he drank was Qiannijiu with the essence of the sun and moon added. This mountain god is so enthusiastic, and he even asked me to take a bottle with me when he left..."
"?"
"Looks like I won't be able to drink for a while!"
"??"
The third senior brother wanted to say something more, but Lin Jue had already turned around and left.
Only his fox was left, turning his head to look at him carefully, then he also leaned down, pretending to be unable to stand up straight, and then imitated his example, raised one front foot to hold the wall, and staggered away.
.
"?"
The third senior brother looked extremely shocked.
Lin Jue took the paper donkey back, went straight back to the room, and moved everything on the donkey's back inside.
First, there was a thick stack of paper. Originally, he only bought paper, but the merchants in Shucun also bought and sold pens, inks, paper and inkstones, Xuan pen rice paper, and Hui ink and inkstones, all of which are world-famous.
When he returned to Shucun, the owner surnamed Shu saw that he had bought a lot of paper, so he stuffed him with some fine pen and ink inkstones. These things are cheap here. If they were sold to Jiangnan, the price would be higher.
I don’t know how many times the capital will increase again.
Then came Thousand Days Wine, Small Spear and Small Sword.
After putting things away, Lin Jue opened the drawer first.
The wooden carving of the silver-eating ghost is still inside.
"Are you ready?"
"call……"
Suddenly another puff of white smoke came out of the wood carving, forming the appearance of a big-headed child ghost. At this time, the evil spirit was gone from its body.
"I haven't seen it for a while." Lin Jue looked at it, "It went from black smoke to gray smoke, and now it's white smoke. It seems that the evil spirit that was tainted by the Corpse Tiger King has been almost washed away."
