"Brother, your battle is over. You don't need my help anymore. The real culprit behind the woman's murder has also been eliminated. You don't have to worry about me when I'm alone in the mountain. I'm going back to the Taoist temple."
After Fan Tianshi left and the remaining flowers under the crabapple tree had been swept away, the junior sister said to Lin Jue.
This little junior sister is indeed smart. She knows that she asked her to come to the capital with her not just because she wants to fight with others, but also because the monster she heard about before specializes in murdering women, and she is not really sure whether it has anything to do with Feng.
She was related to Senior Hua on the mountain, so he was worried about her staying alone on Fengshan Mountain, so he asked her to go with him.
Now that the matter is over, she is going back.
Of course, before that, she also spent a day cleaning Lin Jue's yard inside and out.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I can't worry about the chickens I feed, and the little flowers are still waiting for me on the mountain. The cherries in front of the Taoist temple are also ripe. I need people to watch them, otherwise they will be pecked by sparrows."
The words were so simple that no one who heard them could imagine that these words came from a Taoist who had just eliminated Jingyun Guan.
"Don't you still want to buy ducks?"
"It's morning now and it's very lively. I bought it on the way out of the city!"
"That's fine."
The junior sister went back to her room to get her luggage. Apparently she had packed it before this morning.
"Brother, remember, the cherries on the mountain are about to ripen, and there are also mulberries, peaches, plums, and pears. Remember to come and pick them." The little junior sister carried her luggage, called out the paper donkey, and said to him, "If you still have to fight with others in the future,
Just come to the mountain and call me."
"good."
The junior sister led the donkey and walked out.
Senior brother and Fuyao followed behind.
The junior sister wanted to tell them not to send more gifts, but as soon as they reached the door of the house, a man dressed as a wealthy businessman came to visit.
He was stopped by Fan Tianshi's old servant.
The old servant was mute, and the wealthy businessman didn't know whether he was deaf or mute, so he made random gestures with him.
They didn't stop until they saw two people and a fox.
The junior sister led the donkey and stopped to listen. She found out that the husband of the living woman they had saved that day when they went to the tall and thin Taoist's residence had come to thank her.
But she didn't like to hear these polite words. After watching the excitement for a while, she waved to her senior brother and Fuyao and led the donkey away.
When we walked out of the capital, we saw two ducks, a male and a female, hanging next to the donkey.
Staggeringly, we returned to Fengshan Taoist Temple.
The two stone horses have returned early and are still standing on both sides of the chain bridge.
"Thank you very much!
"I'll see you next time!"
The little junior sister followed the example of her senior brother, said hello and thanked them, then led the paper donkey onto the bridge, stretched her neck and looked forward.
A colorful raccoon cat had already walked over with brisk and jumping steps, like a lion dance. It walked in front of her, stopped some distance away, tilted its body and head, with a serious expression.
and strange postures, staring at her from bottom to top,
As if questioning her.
"I'm back, thank you for your hard work."
The junior sister smiled at it, led the donkey over, touched its head, and then walked past it.
Caili turned around and still stared at her with his head tilted.
He glanced behind her again, and then continued to stare at her.
"It's not my fault. It's my senior brother who is slaying demons in the capital and fighting with others. I have to help him." The little junior sister turned around and said as she walked, "I was going to come back after helping, but I couldn't help it. Senior brother cooked on the first day.
I made bread noodles, cooked braised fish on the second day, which went well with rice, and cooked bacon with wild bamboo shoots on the third day, which also went well with rice."
Caili then followed up with slow steps.
"What about the fourth day?"
When Cai Li spoke, it was a voice different from that of a fox but similar in type. They were both young and clear, and the tone was like a cat meowing. Since they were not human, it was naturally difficult to tell the difference between male and female.
"Day four? Pickled cabbage and minced pork."
"Have you seen Fuyao?"
"What are you asking?" Junior Sister lowered her head as she walked, "I'm going to find Senior Brother, and I will definitely see Fuyao."
"Does it miss me?"
Caili looked up and stared at the female Taoist.
"Of course I have," the junior sister replied, "but you don't have to worry, they will pick the cherries on the mountain when they are ripe."
"I have been guarding the cherries and not letting the sparrows eat them!"
"That's good."
"What does it do every day?"
"it?"
The junior sister scratched her head, thought for a while, and said truthfully: "Fuyao has been working very hard these days for some reason. He asks me to learn how to read every day."
Caili's little face was stunned for a moment,
In the quiet room of the small courtyard, the Taoist priest sat cross-legged and the fox lay horizontally.
Fifteen beans floated in front of the Taoist. The beans shone with a flickering luster, and the luster fluctuated slightly.
But it's not a sacrifice to the bean soldiers.
But to sacrifice and refine weapons.
Although they are both sacrificial refining, the methods and principles of the two methods are not exactly the same. One is the sacrificial refining of carving beans into soldiers to enhance the strength of the bean soldiers.
One is the ritual refining of the method of controlling objects to make the weapon fit his heart. Lin Jue has not found a way to perform them at the same time. Before that, he can only refining them separately.
"call--..-."
After a long time, Lin Jue stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
This process is not tiring, but if it were anyone else, it might feel a bit boring. Only people like Lin Jue would feel bored because they slowly and steadily make the bean soldiers and weapons more powerful day by day.
Only those who enjoy pleasure will never tire of it.
But when I glanced out of the corner of my eye, I saw the fox lying on the wooden floor, facing the bright sunshine coming in from the doorway, and seemed to be a little more comfortable than himself.
"I urge you to be cheerful——"
Lin Jue immediately whispered something.
"!?"
The fox immediately raised its head and opened its mouth slightly, revealing several small and white fangs inside.
But it didn't laugh, but shook its body:
"Ah shout!"
I sneezed a little.
"It still doesn't work."
Lin Jue murmured quietly to himself.
After all, it was just a little bit off.
For him, this skill of "persuading you to be cheerful" seems to be a little more difficult to cultivate than "persuading you to frown".
Maybe it was because when I first came here, when I was on Fuqiu Mountain, I had worries in my heart. Coupled with the explanations in ancient books, I got started quickly. Later, when my master passed away, my enlightenment reached a new level.
But this advice to you to be cheerful is a little short of the mark.
It may also be because I have acquired too many spells recently, and I feel more and more that my time and energy cannot be allocated, so I have neglected it, and naturally fell behind.
Lin Jueru thought, and when he came back to his senses, the lying fox in front of him had disappeared.
When he turned around, he saw that his fox was already beside him, tilting his head and staring at him with a serious look on his face.
Before Lin Jue could speak, he spoke first.
He opened his mouth and bit Lin Jue's arm.
The next few days were uneventful.
The biggest reason is naturally that Fan Tianshi took on the cause and effect trouble of Jingyun Temple for them.
In this capital, Fan Tianshi's reputation and status are far beyond the comparison of Lin Jue, who just came to the capital not long ago. By pushing this matter to Fan Tianshi, not only is he better at dealing with such things, but he also doesn't dare to come to him for minor troubles.
He did.
For example, the Yamen or the Ministry of Rites, or those who have friendship or even interests with Master Jingyun Guan, simply do not dare to come to Fan Tianshi for confirmation or questioning.
Moreover, Fan Tianshi's words are more effective.
Whatever he says is what he says.
He said that this matter was done by the doctor and Jing Yunguan in a certain medical center in the city, and had nothing to do with the gods who pumped oil for people on Fengshan Mountain. The people believed it without any further explanation or proof.
Fellow Taoist Wan recovered from his injuries and came to see Lin Jue.
Lin Jue only asked him to study spells hard to make up for his weakness of only practicing magic but lacking ability.
Summer has also entered the capital.
In the courtyard, there is often bright and blazing sunshine, passing through the lush branches and leaves of the crabapple tree, hitting the stone table and floor, making it mottled and dreamy. Foxes love to sleep here.
Sunlight often seeps in through the gauze curtains of the quiet room, or the breeze lifts the white gauze, and the sun takes the opportunity to sneak in and reflect on the floor in strips, reflecting the quiet appearance of the years. Practice inside.
The enlightened Taoist feels happy and seems to gain some benefits.
"It's time to go find Hana-senpai."
Lin Jue sat in the courtyard and said to his fox:
"Now that we have cleared his grievances and allowed him to resume his 'business', he should be grateful to us, right?"
"Thank you to us!"
"We should buy something when we go see him." Lin Jue still said to Fuyao, "What would a dog like?"
"I like to eat sh...ugh!"
Lin Jue covered its mouth and released his hand:
"I urge you to be cheerful!"
"?Hahaha!?"
The fox raised his head and laughed softly and sharply twice, then lowered his head and stared at Lin Jue with a questioning look on his face.
Any questions?
Why do you have to ask again and don't want anyone to answer?
"That's senior, don't be rude."
"That's what it is!"
"I also hope to discuss with him about Long Bo's bean soldiers and the paper-cutting technique, and the spell of turning into wind."
"oh!"
The fox immediately shut his mouth.
"Then let's buy a big red rooster and a sheep and take them to visit Senior Hua." Lin Jue said, "By the way, we will go to Wenbaofang in Dongshi to see if there are any Anhui merchants willing to bring me a letter back."
"Big red rooster! Sheep!"
"Let's buy another flower mattress."
"Flower mattress!"
The fox stood up, stretched out, jumped from the stone table to the courtyard wall, looked out for a few times, and then jumped back.
Lin Jue still made an appointment with Fan Tianshi to visit Wenbaofang.
This was agreed upon years ago, but it has been delayed until now.
But I never thought that after arriving at Wenbaofang in Dongshi, I did see many Huizhou merchants. However, before Lin Jue had time to ask someone to help bring the letter, a businessman came up excitedly and talked with Lin Jue and Fan Tianshi.
He greeted them with courtesy and invited them into the room to sit down.
He was the husband of the woman whom Lin Jue and Junior Sister saved some time ago. On the day that Junior Sister left, he came to Lin Jue and Fan Tianshi's residence to thank them.
Fate is indeed a wonderful thing.
