There weren't many people able to fit into the fourth brother's house, so he divided a few people into the side hall of the temple. At this moment, the side hall had not yet placed the statue of the god, so it was still empty.

During the day, everyone pulled some soft weeds in the mountains. Before making matches for the fourth senior brother, they took some and spread them on the ground. Lin Jue then spread the bearskin blanket on top, and he was able to lie down very comfortably.

.

The moonlight shone in from the window above, making the ground a patch of white.

Lin Jue was lying on the left side, and the fox was lying on the right side.

Junior sister's colorful civet cat also had a good relationship with Lin Jue and Fuyao. Because of the softness of the bearskin blanket, he easily betrayed her and ran to the fox and fell asleep next to its tail, purring slightly.

Lin Jue opened his eyes and thought quietly.

Strangely enough, after knowing that such "Suhui" things were actually not uncommon, even though he knew in his heart that he was still special, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Especially the fourth senior brother saw through this.

Keeping a secret is actually a heavy thing. If it is discovered that it is not so special, its weight will undoubtedly be less. If it is told to another trustworthy person, some of it will be shared.

Fourth senior brother is undoubtedly trustworthy.

Think for a moment and sleep peacefully.

When I woke up, it was already early the next morning.

I was too tired in the past few days, and it was quiet in the mountains. I slept so comfortably that when I woke up, the other brothers and sisters were already awake. Fuyao was sitting next to him and staring down at him. The colorful civet cat

He also leaned close to his nose and sniffed, as if to determine whether he, a lazy Taoist priest, was still breathing.

When Lin Jue got up, the junior sister had already cooked breakfast, which was porridge made with rice and the leftover pheasant from last night.

This is how people think these days——

When I see uneaten good food, I don't want to waste it, so I cook it with other dishes or rice for the second meal, and cook it into a pot. This avoids waste, and I feel satisfied when I eat with salty oil and water.

I have never thought about the fact that roasted pheasant is too strong in color and smell and is not suitable for cooking porridge.

This is mainly a matter of concept.

But no wonder they are.

These days, most people have not solved the problem of eating enough, so how can they eat well?

After breakfast, I had to say goodbye to my fourth senior brother.

"Senior brother, I also have something to give you. I hope that senior brother can check it after we leave."

"Thank you, junior brother." The fourth senior brother said with a smile, and also took out something wrapped in red cloth from his arms, "This is the twelve taels of silver gifted by the Yan family yesterday. I originally wanted to give it to the second senior brother and use it as payment for everyone. The second senior brother

Senior brother said that apart from my friends, it was your Fuyao who contributed to what happened yesterday. Since I don’t want the money, I will give it to your Fuyao. It has no clothes or purse, so you can keep it for it."

Fuyao was originally fighting with Caili nearby. When he heard this, he turned his head instantly and stared at the fourth senior brother first and then at Lin Jue, with curiosity in his eyes.

At the same time, it had the leisure to retreat and avoid the cat's paw that the colorful raccoon came towards.

Lin Jue knew what the second senior brother meant, so he nodded and took it, and said to the fourth senior brother: "Don't go hungry on the mountain."

"Know."

"If you have the chance, remember to go to the government to ask for a title for the mountain god of Shimen Mountain, otherwise he will become an evil god over time."

"Yes."

They said goodbye to each other and parted in the mountains.

The fourth senior brother stood on the edge of the cliff and followed them with his eyes until their figures walked farther and farther along the path. From being visible to looming in the forest, until they no longer appeared for a long time, they finally turned around with the envelope in hand.

When he went back, he saw the stone table and bench that his junior sister had made for him last night, so he went over and sat down.

The largest clouded leopard also came back and lay down at his feet.

This envelope is thicker than that of Sixth Senior Brother.

The fourth senior brother opened it and took out a letter from it, with half a page written on it:

"By the time senior brother reads this letter, we must have already parted ways. Senior brother likes purity, and likes to live with the birds and animals in the mountains. I don't think I will be lonely in the mountains. But the rest of my life is long, and I can only spend time with my friends on the mountains to talk about Taoism.

, I’m afraid it’s a bit too monotonous and boring, right?

"Junior brother accidentally acquired a few spells, and I think they are very suitable for me, or suitable for use in combination with the method of gathering animals and regulating birds.

"The first is the method of wood escape, which allows senior brother to hide in the forest and protect the body; the second is the sound transmission method, which can be used to gather distant beasts, birds and monsters; the third is the method of chasing seals, where senior brother's friends can practice Taoism

habit.

"It's attached to the letter.

"If senior brother likes it, you can study it to pass the time. If you don't like it, just burn it. If after learning this, you still want to practice something else, you can wait for junior brother to settle down and send a letter to senior brother. Senior brother will receive the address.

Then write back to me or ask other senior brothers for exchange.

"Senior brother taught me how to gather beasts and regulate birds, and taught me how to keep my heart good and live up to my true intentions. Junior brother has benefited a lot from me so far. It is foreseeable that it will be the same in the future. I would like to thank you."

There are three more booklets below.

They are all handwritten, often with deletions, deletions, and smears. Everywhere there are traces of exhaustive thought.

"Oh……"

The fourth senior brother smiled and did not think about anything else. He just turned his head and looked at the Clouded Leopard lying next to him, and said with a smile:

"Brother Yun, I have a hunch."

"ah?"

"We are going to have a real person in Fuqiu Temple."

"Ah~~"

The clouded leopard shook its tail, its eyes calm.

The fourth senior brother was also very calm. He put away the books and stationery, stood up and said: "First, let's clean up the temple as the senior brothers and sisters have said. I don't know how long I will stay on this mountain from now on. Sixth Junior Brother's Immortal

It’s said that the world will be in chaos soon, and there are so many monsters and ghosts there. It’s up to us to protect these hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers.”

…

I didn't get lost on the way back.

Firstly, it was because official roads were easier to find than in uncertain villages. Although the fourth brother was separated from them, his crow friend was still in the sky guiding them. Secondly, it was because Fuyao had stamped his mark on the cart and followed the general guide.

Just walk in the direction. Even if you occasionally take the wrong path, you can at most take a detour.

After half a day, we returned to the official road.

As soon as the few people entered the woods and searched for memories, the fox had already jumped to the cart and pointed the direction for them.

Everyone found the cart, put their luggage on it, pulled it with horses, and headed towards Liuyun County.

The fox seemed very happy and kept running ahead.

The colorful raccoon originally ran with it, using its four short legs to take slow steps, but soon it got tired, so it jumped back on the cart and became the driver, staring intently at the road ahead.

At this time, there were only six Taoists left, all walking in front of and behind the cart. Because they felt sorry for the horses, they had to help push them when going uphill and pull them when going downhill.

It's good to get close and just have a conversation.

"The fourth junior brother and the sixth junior brother are quite close. There is another one living in the city hundreds of miles away. It's easy to find. Just let the crow raised by the fourth junior brother deliver the message." The third senior brother said.

"Did you raise your bean soldiers?" Second Senior Brother looked at him sideways.

"That's not true!"

"You..."

"Brothers, do you think what the Yan family's grandson said is credible?" Lin Jue asked.

"The grandson of the Yan family? He definitely didn't lie, but it's hard to say whether he had a hallucination or encountered the real thing." The second senior brother said.

"I think so too."

"Monsters and evil ghosts have brought diseases to the human world. This has happened since ancient times. There are even many monsters and evil ghosts recorded in ancient books. Their only ability recorded in the books is to bring diseases to the human world." The fifth brother frowned as he walked.

Thinking, "But he said the word 'obeying the order'."

"By order? Whose order? It can't be the God of Plague in the sky, right?" The third senior brother still dared to say something more.

"It's impossible. The world is already in chaos now. What the Plague God in the sky should do is to collect the plague, not release it." The second senior brother shook his head and said, "Besides, if the Plague God in the sky carries out the plague according to the order, there is no need to be as strict as that."

As my grandson said, he disguised himself and sneaked into Zhongzhou?"

"And shouldn't Zhongzhou be Tian Weng's place of incense? At this time, unless the local people disobey him, rebel or change their beliefs, how can he spread the plague in his place of incense for no reason? This is not for him

Is it harmful or not beneficial to the court?" Lin Jue also analyzed.

"Okay, okay! You are all smart!" The third senior brother shook his head angrily and raised his head to drink, "Just go over and take a look!"

"Um……"

The second senior brother frowned and thought, then said:

"We are walking a little too slowly.

"But I don't know whether that is true or not. Not to mention it would be a waste if you use the Divine Walking Pill. Liuyun County is still far away, and we can't get everyone there by relying on the Divine Walking Pill.

"However, the stakes are too high to be trivial. It is better to let one person take a magic pill, go ahead and see if there is really a plague, and then come back and inform us."

"rational."

"Can."

“Good idea!”

Although everyone agreed, they all looked at Lin Jue.

Because they have to take Lingyuan Pill, all the senior brothers have now learned how to take it. However, only Lin Jue and the second senior brother are the most accomplished. But even for the two of them, one Shenxing Pill cannot travel hundreds of miles.

road.

Only Lin Jue, after the effect of Shenxing Dan wears off, there is still a paper donkey to ride on.

Only Lin Jue is accompanied by Fuyao, who travels thousands of miles every day. If there is any problem, the fox can come back to them.

"Then let me go."

Lin Jue picked up his luggage from the cart, unloaded the bamboo basket on the paper donkey's back, put away the paper donkey, and took the three vials containing Shenxing Dan handed over by his second senior brother, and put them all in

In arms.

"Fuyao."

"嘤?"

The fox turned back and stared at him.

"You leave a mark on them. Let's go first. Maybe we need to come back to them later."

"Hmm~"

The fox then raised his head, his eyes turned left and right, and scanned all the senior brothers and sisters. Finally, he stopped at the junior sister, jumped over, raised his paw and pressed on her calf, leaving a mark.

The little junior sister was curious and raised her legs to take a closer look.

The Taoist took out a divine walking pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

"I'm leaving first."

"good."

Lin Jue looked around and saw no one around. He took one step, which was more than ten feet away, and then took another step and climbed up the branch as if riding the wind.

The fox jumped lightly and followed easily.

After everyone and the fox disappeared completely, everyone continued to move forward.

It seems to be close to early summer. I don’t know which day it started. The sun above my head has become blazing. When I look up, I feel like I can’t open my eyes. If I walk on the mountain avenue, every plant and tree under the shade of the trees will appear clearly.

It's dark, but the light spots shining through the branches and leaves are dazzling.

Many Taoists kept their minds calm and moved forward quickly.

I almost didn’t even cook my own food along the way. I only stopped when I encountered a tea stall to take a break, drink some tea, eat something, feed the horses, ask if there was any plague ahead, or buy some.

Bring steamed pancakes and steamed buns with you and eat them on the go to save time.

The answer I got was no.

Many business travelers find them strange.

Several people also had some doubts.

In fact, on the night when he learned about the Plague Ghost, Fourth Senior Brother asked his crow friends to check out the cities in front of him, and they said there was nothing strange. However, although his crow friends were smart, they might not be able to identify which city was which.

The city may not be able to determine whether people are sick, so its credibility has to be compromised.

This was one of the reasons why everyone didn't swallow all the Shenxing Dan and rush over immediately.
