Lin Jue originally wanted to buy bedding, but Fan Tianshi was too polite and asked the old servant to buy it for them and sent it to the yard in the afternoon.
In this way, people can live in the courtyard immediately.
It also saved them some time.
This actually made Lin Jue feel a little embarrassed, and even Mr. Luo couldn't help but look down on this liar anymore.
Then the three of them checked out the inn room, brought in the horses and donkeys, and moved their luggage in. After loading more things into the empty yard, it looked a little decent.
Stay here today.
Once I settled in, I found that I was quite satisfied with everything:
This house is very large, with enough space for Taoists to walk, for warriors to practice martial arts, for foxes to run and jump and dig holes, and to go fishing by the lake, sit quietly under the willow tree, and play chess in the pavilion.
There are also stables where you can keep horses.
Living in a small courtyard, it is quiet at night and not noisy in the morning. However, if you leave the large courtyard, it will be very lively.
There is a street just outside the door. In the early morning, there are many vendors and footmen coming. You can buy all kinds of common rice, noodles, vegetables and meat. There are also many idle people waiting for orders on the street. If you want to buy something else but it is too far, or you want to
Where can I send you a message? You can also pay a few bucks to ask them to help you run errands.
It is said that living in the capital is not easy. When I first came here, I was able to have such a residence in the capital. Although it was not my own, and I lived with two other people, it greatly exceeded Lin Jue's expectations.
Early the next morning.
Lin Jue sat cross-legged in front of the desk in the quiet room, holding only a handwritten book in his hand.
There was a slightly weird sound of footsteps coming from outside.
Not long after, the junior sister appeared at the door, holding three large jars in each hand, carrying a total of six large jars. They were as light as nothing and stopped steadily at the door.
Lin Jue looked up at her, a little confused:
"Why did you buy so many jars? Didn't you buy chickens and couldn't bring anything else?"
"I won't take it back."
"You don't want to take it back? You bought it for me?"
"Brother, please make some sauerkraut and pickles and fill these jars. When I come to the capital next time, I will take them back to the mountain to eat."
"...You don't cook and eat sauerkraut every day, right?"
When the junior sister heard this, she just said seriously: "The sauerkraut is delicious! The cooking is also delicious!"
"Put it here. I'll do it when I'm free. I haven't had enough time these days." Lin Jue said helplessly, and at the same time handed over the book in his hand, "This is the method of wood escape. I originally planned to give you a few spells.
As a result, I have already taught you several other skills along the way, and this is the only one left."
"oh."
The junior sister walked in and took the book.
It can be seen that the paper was cut by myself and threaded and stitched by myself, so the cutting was not neat and the threading was a bit messy.
Open it and take a look——
They are all densely handwritten.
The junior sister couldn't help but be startled.
When I went down the mountain to say goodbye to several other senior brothers, the senior brother handed them envelopes containing this kind of book, right? There were so many books, and I don’t know how long it took me to write them on a bonfire night before I finished them.
"Is this the only one you've written about?"
"..."
Lin Jue got up and went back, taking out several books one after another, which she had already learned, and gave them to her.
"Thank you, senior brother."
The junior sister said while holding a few books.
"Go back to the mountain. The New Year will be here soon. I will go to Fengshan Mountain to find you. Or if you think it is too cold on the mountain, you can also come to the capital to see the New Year's Eve in the capital."
"Then I'm leaving."
"You have to walk faster, it's going to rain in the afternoon."
"knew."
The junior sister then left.
Naturally, Caili also left.
Luo Gong is a Jianghu person, so naturally there is something about being a Jianghu person, and I don’t know where he went.
The courtyard was extremely quiet for a while.
However, knowing that his junior sister was not far away and that he could only find a temporary home here, Lin Jue did not feel lonely. Instead, he sat by the door wearing a Taoist robe and watched the little fox in the courtyard jumping up and down. After a while, he ran to the foot of the wall to find a suitable place to fight.
Looking at the location of the hole, I ran to the cascading crabapple tree in the courtyard and sniffed around, and jumped up on the courtyard wall. The Taoist felt quite calm and at ease.
The wind blew through the eaves, and there was little chill.
In the afternoon, it really started to rain.
This mansion is exquisitely built, and even the small courtyard has rain chains on the tile eaves, like layers of lotus flowers. The rainwater falls layer by layer along the lotus flowers, making a slight sound, which is even more calming.
This is a winter rain, which also makes the capital a little colder.
The Taoist still sat by the door without moving.
It was inconvenient to go out in this kind of weather, so he should light a charcoal fire in the courtyard and carve spiritual wood over the charcoal fire. It was also an elegant thing, but he did nothing but enjoy the rain.
"Watching the wind and rain while sitting alone.
"Listen to the wind and rain and sleep well."
Lin Jue laughed, finally got up and closed the door.
The fox picked up a dead branch from nowhere and came back to play with it.
The Taoist picked it up, blew on it, and fine pear blossoms bloomed on it. He put it into the vase in the quiet room, which instantly added color to the room and made him feel much better.
Lin Jue then sat down cross-legged.
He looked around to see if the doors and windows were closed, then took out a night watch lamp, lit it and placed it on the right side of the desk. Ten taels of silver were placed in the middle of the desk. Finally, he took out a wooden sculpture.
The fox is also on the lookout.
"call……"
White smoke appeared on the wood carving, turning into a big-headed ghost.
"Eat."
Lin Jue said helplessly to it.
This is the last bit of silver he has, and everything else is just copper coins. Not to mention what the silver-eating ghost will eat next month, even he himself will have to wait until the Juxian Mansion pays him money next month before he has money to eat.
However, considering that he was committed to the silver-eating ghost, and that Luo Gong, who lived with him, was also extremely rich, Lin Jue chose to feed it first.
So I watched it eat here, while silently thinking about my own things.
If you can learn some spells in Juxian Mansion by yourself, it will be a big gain. You can find food for the silver-eating ghost, which is also a gain. If you can gather more materials for a golden elixir, it will be even more surprising. But right now
He still ranked "obtaining the Great Yin Yang Dharma and the Five Elements Spiritual Dharma" at the top of the list.
Among Taoists in the world, most people practice the spiritual methods of heaven and earth, while fewer people practice the spiritual methods of yin and yang and the five elements.
The spiritual laws of heaven and earth are moderately balanced, with few advantages and few disadvantages.
The yin and yang spiritual method is mysterious and longevity, but it is divided into the big yin and yang method and the small yin and yang method. The practice of the small yin and yang method is slower, so even if it has the effect of extending life, it is not easy to achieve enlightenment.
The Five Elements Spiritual Technique is good at fighting, and the speed of practice is moderate, but it is not helpful for extending life. Unless it is combined with a life-extending method such as Dan Dao, one must have extremely outstanding talent to become an immortal.
Therefore, in recent hundreds of years, most of the immortals who have achieved enlightenment through spiritual methods have practiced the spiritual methods of heaven and earth.
Lin Jue speculated that the Five Elements Spiritual Technique might be easier to obtain.
Moreover, most of the Yin and Yang spiritual methods are found in deep mountains, and most of the Five Elements spiritual methods are found in wandering cultivators. Juxian Mansion has gathered these scattered cultivators, so it should not be difficult to obtain them.
You have to ask Master Fan yourself.
But Fan Tianshi only has a false reputation, and I don't know if he knows about it...
Not long after, the silver-eating ghost finished eating, thanked him, and returned to the wood carving with satisfaction.
Lin Jue also abandoned his distracting thoughts, only took a freshly baked Lingyuan Pill, swallowed it in one gulp, then sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes, and practiced meditation.
There was pattering outside the window and the sound of rain.
The aura of the capital city is mixed, and there is water vapor on a rainy day, but no matter what, it becomes part of his spiritual practice and enlightenment at this time.
…
A middle-aged man with an ordinary face walked to the door of the house. He was wearing a raincoat but had already been soaked by the rain. He was wearing a bamboo hat, but water was dripping from his head. He looked like a fisherman by the river, but this fisherman looked like a fisherman.
Not afraid of rain or cold, he opened the door and came in with a calm expression.
Not far after entering the door, he saw a white wall next to him. It was clearly clean, but two lines of words were written abruptly on the wall, which made him frown.
I knew in my heart that it must be the fox in the courtyard causing trouble again.
"These foxes..."
The man frowned and kept mumbling:
"I'll take care of you tomorrow!"
As soon as I walked to the middle of the house and passed by the small lake, I saw a figure standing in the pavilion.
He is also a middle-aged man, wearing a Taoist robe, with a thin figure and a beard, and he has a somewhat immortal air. He is standing here for no other reason than to simply enjoy the rain.
"This Taoist..."
The man whispered again.
In fact, he also vaguely doubted whether Fan Tianshi was as powerful as he boasted, but there were some skills that he couldn't see or try out, such as the skills of the Fulu Sect, if he didn't really invite gods or heavenly soldiers and generals to come down
, no one knew whether it was true or false, and because of its extraordinary popularity, he was a little unsure.
Last time, he was encouraged to go to the Dragon King to see if he was worthy of his name, but unexpectedly he was lucky and ran away in vain.
Just as he was thinking about it, the man seemed to hear the footsteps, turned his head, and suddenly smiled:
"It turns out that Mr. Pan is back. He has been away for the past few days. Where has Mr. Pan gone?"
"riverside."
"Then the Demon King has been eliminated, hasn't he? Why hasn't Mr. Pan returned to his throne in the river?"
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist."
"Haha, don't worry, don't worry. I happened to meet Pan Gong, so I told Pan Gong something." Fan Tianshi said, "I wonder if I met anyone from the Ministry of Rites on Pan Road. Did they tell Pan Gong that there is a new person in our yard?
You have a neighbor who lives in the small courtyard on the left?"
"The one with the fox?"
"Exactly."
"I was just about to take care of that fox!"
"Pan Gong, don't worry, Pindao hasn't told Pan Gong who our new neighbor is yet." Fan Tianshi looked at him with a smile, wanting to see his expression.
"Who is it?"
"The surname is Lin Mingjue, and his guardians are the same experts who got rid of the Dragon King by the Weishui River half a year ago."
"?"
When Pan Gong heard this, he frowned: "Except for the masters of the Dragon King? In the past six months, there have been more than seven or eight people who have appeared in the entire Juxian Mansion, right?"
"You and I both know that those are all fake." Master Fan Tian was calm and calm, stroking his beard, "This one is the real one."
"real?"
"Of course it's true." Fan Tianshi said, "Although our Taoist friends have never told us why we left the divine position and why we relied on a mortal, we have our own skills and can guess that it is probably the same as the one in the Weishui River.
Is it related to the demon king? Haha, thinking about the love of living together, I wanted to get rid of the demon king for my fellow Taoist half a year ago, but unexpectedly he was overtaken... Alas, based on this calculation, at this time, the two in the west courtyard,
He is the true benefactor of Taoist friends."
"Let's see and then talk!"
But Pan Gong didn't believe it and just stepped forward.
Fan Tianshi was secretly stunned——
He originally thought that this person had a bad temper, so he would not get into a conflict with Daoist Lin without knowing it. Then he reminded him, but he didn't expect that this person would not listen. But it would be better not to make things worse.
So the middle-aged Taoist also immediately walked along the corridor.
When he walked out of the corridor, the old servant appeared at the right time and held a yellow paper umbrella for him to block the rain.
All the way to the entrance of the west courtyard.
I saw a white fox standing under the crabapple tree. The crabapple tree was bare in winter and could not protect it from the rain, so it was soaked in the rain in the yard, looking up at the trunk of the tree intently.
"What a fox! He finally showed up..."
Pan Gong just thought it was the white fox that had been living in the courtyard, and stepped in.
But after just one step, he stopped.
The air was moist and cold, and the water vapor had the smell of earth, but it also brought him a little other smell.
That's...
The taste of Dragon King!
Ding ding ding!
Pan Gong was shocked and turned pale. He took a few steps back and exited the courtyard. He even almost bumped into Fan Tianshi who was holding an umbrella behind him. He just looked at the courtyard with a shocked expression.
The white fox, who was enjoying the rain in the courtyard, also heard the noise and couldn't help but turn his head. His eyes were so clear that there was only curiosity in them, and he looked at them.
With a creak, a door opened behind him.
A Taoist priest, wearing old and white Taoist robes, looked at the visitor through the raindrops in the sky.
Both sides soon learned——
The other party is really an expert except Dragon King;
Chapter completed!
