"I heard that most ghosts in the world have little strength and survive in the world. They often suffer from hunger. This is especially true for wild ghosts. If they cause disasters for no reason, they may not be able to pass the test of conscience, and they are also afraid of encountering people who are not afraid.

Their superiors may be blamed and punished by the gods, so once they encounter something, they will quickly seize the opportunity, even fabricate the fault of the person, and either ask for sacrifices to reward them, or ask for help.

"I don't know whether this kind of story is true or not."

Lin Jue paused as he spoke, revealing his thoughts: "If I remember correctly, when I was looking for a place to spend the night last night, I stepped on his head. If the story and legend are true, he didn't use this as the rumor said.

Forcing me to help from scratch is more of a gentleman than those wild ghosts in the rumors."

"Where did you hear that?"

"I heard it from the village elders and thought there might be some truth to it."

"I did see some ghostly energy in the little layman." The old Taoist priest smiled and did not say whether this rumor was right or wrong. He just continued to ask, "What is the little layman planning now?"

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and we can see each other's faces clearly.

The old Taoist priest was relatively thin, with wrinkles all over his face. He didn't know his age, but his face was quite fairy-like and kind. He was carrying a baggage, and he looked like he was on a far journey.

The girl beside him was very young, she looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. She had a white complexion, a pointed chin, delicate facial features, and a rather delicate appearance. She also had a satchel on her shoulder and stood silently next to the old man without saying a word.

"well……"

Lin Jue sighed: "Although I haven't agreed in the dream, but what reason is there not to do such a thing? If the Taoist priest is in a hurry, just take the first step. I will walk faster later, as fate has it.

I can catch up with you before we go down different paths."

"So what if you stay to help with things like this? Besides, Pindao doesn't have a few years left to live. Who knows whether he will end up in the same situation as this person after many years?"

The old Taoist priest did not leave, but just looked aside.

The girl clearly felt his gaze and didn't understand what he meant at first. Sometimes she turned to look at him, sometimes she turned to look at Lin Jue, and sometimes she looked at the coffin board on the roadside in the distance.

He showed doubts and thoughts, and after thinking for a long time, he finally understood.

But once she understood, she stopped procrastinating at all. She put down her bag and stick, rolled up her sleeves, and walked quickly to help.

So Lin Jue took off the simple knife and turned it into a hatchet. After spending some energy, he found a dead and dry tree and started cutting it down.

The girl came with great momentum. When she finally got in front of him, she found that there was nothing she could do to help. She had to stand by and pretend to hold the tree for him, lowering her head and watching him chop it down without saying a word.

Not long after, a piece of wood was chopped down.

Lin Jue carried the wood and walked to the coffin. He gestured back and forth several times and repaired it several times. Finally, he repaired it until it almost fit the shape of the coffin hole. He stuffed it in hard and knocked it a few more times. When he turned around, the girl behind him just held it.

A handful of scrap wood was handed to him silently.

"Thank you."

Lin Jue selected a few pieces to fill the gaps.

When he felt it was almost done, he found some thick dead leaves and covered it with a hatchet. He dug out the soil next to it with a hatchet and covered it with soil. After trampling it firmly, he was satisfied.

"Has the little layman been patched up?"

"It's fixed."

"Where will you go after that?"

"After that..."

Lin Jue paused for a moment, frowning and thinking.

The old man and the young man both looked at him, one of them smiled, but the other's eyes were full of curiosity.

By this time it was completely light.

In the distance, there were even business travelers coming in the morning, and the sound of horse bells and wheels rolling over the hard ground could be heard, echoing in the mountains in the early morning, which was very quiet.

"To be honest, that person told me a 'good thing' last night in order to ask me to help. I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't know if I should go." Lin Jue frowned and thought back, "But looking at it now, I do.

I want to believe that what he said is true, but even so, I don’t know whether I should go or not.”

"What?"

"He said that today, on the mountain behind, there is a mountain like a hammer. The tiger in the mountain is holding a banquet there and inviting people to attend. He said that I can go too..."

Lin Jue briefly explained the matter.

"What a coincidence!"

The old Taoist priest smiled and said to him: "I recently heard that the tigers on this mountain are holding a banquet, and invite all the monsters and ghosts around who have not caused trouble to attend. In the past, the tiger's gatherings all had the same name.

Pindao has a disciple of Qiannijiu's fine wine, who likes to make wine and drink the most, so Pindao also plans to join in the fun and see if he can bring some back."

"Um?"

Lin Jue couldn't help but stare at them.

The ghost in the dream also seemed to mention "Thousand Days Wine".

If the old Taoist hadn't said it, the name of the wine would have been blurred as the dream faded. It was only now that he heard the old Taoist say it that he remembered it.

At the same time, Lin Jue also remembered something else, so he looked at the old Taoist carefully.

Old Taoist...

"I wonder where the real person came from?" Lin Jue asked, considering his words.

"It's too far to go out to visit friends."

"Did you pass through Qiuru County?"

"Passed."

"When I was in Danxun County, I heard that an expert came from Qiuru County and got rid of demons and ghosts in Qiuru County. Is he a real person?"

"Pindao did get rid of an evil demon in Qiuru County, but he just did it casually and it's not worth mentioning."

"this……"

Lin Jue really thought it was a coincidence.

When they first met, he only thought that this old Taoist had extraordinary bearing, and he had a good impression of the monk at Zhushan Temple before, so he felt that even if he was just an ordinary Taoist, it might be interesting to go with him for a journey. 3.

There must be a teacher in my life, and I have gained something. Later, I told the old Taoist about seeing ghosts in his dream, and he looked as usual. He also said that he did see some ghost energy in him, so Lin Jue felt that he might have some abilities.

Unexpectedly, it was the one the Wei family mentioned.

At this time, he still didn't know that the old Taoist beside him was the immortal master he was looking for.

But with this divine master whom he met by chance, and Qiyun Mountain and Yishan Mountain, which he had already decided to go to, he couldn't help but encounter difficulties in a short time.

"Do you really want to go to the banquet too?"

"Do you want some company, little layman?"

"Nature can't ask for it."

Where are the doubts now?

"But even if the tiger is hospitable by nature, there is no reason to come empty-handed. Is the little layman prepared to bring any gifts?"

"Is this possible?"

Lin Jue took out peach gum from his body.

"Peach demon essence!"

The old Taoist just took one look and knew it, and still said kindly: "This is considered a good thing. You don't need so much, just give me three or two pills. You should keep the rest."

This person is indeed no ordinary Taoist.

Lin Jue took the peach gum back.

"Then let's go." The old Taoist said loudly, quite free and easy, "We are going to take a mountain road. The vegetation is luxuriant at this time, and the hatchet the little layman brought will come in handy."

"..."

Lin Jue didn't say anything, it was just a matter of course.

So I walked with the old Taoist and the girl for a while, discussing with each other to identify the path. When they left the official road and walked onto the small road, Lin Jue was walking in front. It was he who knocked away the cobwebs in the early morning and the thorns and thorns that blocked the road.

He also moved the grass.

"Why don't you chop with a hatchet, little layman?"

"To be honest, when I was in Danxun County before, I met a fairy who was transformed from a peach tree. I had a good chat with it and accepted it as a gift of peach gum. Therefore, I feel that plants and trees also have spirits. If necessary, they can

If it is not cut down, it will not be cut down.”

"If you don't chop them down, in this autumn and winter, the woodcutter who goes up the mountain will chop them down, make them into firewood, and sell them to people in the city."

"I think they will be a good firewood then."

"Haha! What a great answer!"

"Excellent..."

"Then what do you want?"

"Just feel at ease."

“That’s all it takes to have peace of mind!”

The old Taoist priest nodded repeatedly and smiled.

In the season of May, not only are thorns growing wildly and the woods are deep, but also snakes and insects are most active. The group of people climbed up the mountain for most of the day and saw several snakes. The most dangerous one was undoubtedly the one lying horizontally in front of them.

One passed the mountain peak and saw someone with thick arms. This is one of the rare snakes that is extremely territorial. Seeing someone intruding, it even stood up and stared at the group of people, trying to scare them away and not allow them to pass.

This old Taoist indeed has his way.

I saw him walking forward, smiling, bowing to the snake first, and then told: "We are just passing by, we don't mean any harm, please allow us to pass."

The snake stared at him and actually avoided it.

The old Taoist only says: It’s just a matter of gathering the beasts and adjusting the birds.

Lin Jue respected him more and more.

When it was almost dusk, Lin Jue stopped and wiped his sweat. When he looked back, he could only see the mountains and forests going down. The official road and the place where he walked in the morning could no longer be seen.

I don’t know how high I have climbed along the way. I just know that it has been like this several times. When I look back, I see the deep mountain forest. When I look up, I see that there is still so much height in front of me. It seems that I can’t finish walking one layer after another. But now I finally

I saw the mountain that looked like a hammer.

It turns out it's a hammer, not a wolf's head.

The mountain is made of stone, like an overturned hammer, with some pine trees growing on it, and the bottom is full of rocks and silky green grass.

But it seems that the hammer itself got its name because it resembles a wolf head, so it’s not too different.

Lin Jue turned around and glanced at the old Taoist behind him. He saw that the old Taoist was still calm, not even sweating, and her hair was not messed up. The girl's physical strength was much better than he thought. Along the way, she was actually in the same state as him.

It was almost the same, except that his face was red and his clothes were wet with sweat, but he kept following them up the mountain without saying a word about tiredness.

This little girl is not squeamish.

When Lin Jue looked away again, he was suddenly startled.

Suddenly, a huge wild boar appeared in the grass ahead.

The wild boar was probably as heavy as two or three adults, fat and strong, with pointed tusks and bristles, staring straight at them.

The old Taoist priest chuckled and stepped forward.

Just when Lin Jue thought he was going to use the "method of gathering animals and regulating birds" to persuade the huge wild boar to leave, he saw him put his hand into his sleeve, took out a small porcelain pot, saluted and said:

"The poor Taoist He Xianyu, whose Taoist name is Yunhe Taoist, accidentally heard that the tiger was holding a banquet on the roadside. He happened to bring the spiritual spring from the mountain, so he came to attend the party."

The wild boar stared at him with a flash in its eyes, then came over and sniffed the porcelain bottle in the hands of the old Taoist and him, then turned its head again and looked at the two people behind it.

"This little girl is my future disciple."

"Oh, Linjue, I heard by chance that the tiger was holding a banquet on the mountain. I have always admired the fairies, ghosts and gods from all over the world, so I came to visit with gifts."

Lin Jue was full of curiosity and nervousness, and his heartbeat was fast, but he still said it sincerely.

What was presented was three pieces of peach gum.

I came to visit for no reason to attend the banquet, and I felt it was wrong to be too light a gift. However, this peach gum was a gift from the peach demon. In addition to its own value, there was also a bit of friendship from an acquaintance. Although Lin Jue and that person

Dryads are just acquaintances for a short period of time, and there is no friendship at all. This friendship is difficult to describe, but it cannot be ignored casually.

Previously, the old Taoist said that three or two coins would be enough. Lin Jue hesitated and chose to obey, but also took a larger number, giving three coins and keeping two.

Then he saw the wild boar coming forward, then in front of him and the girl, sniffing carefully and also sniffing the peach gum in his hand. His eyes flickered several times, then he backed away, then turned and walked up the mountain.

The old Taoist priest stepped forward to follow.

Lin Juebian followed suit.

I understand in my heart——

This is probably where the tiger lives.
