Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Jue looked to the side.
The old Taoist was sitting cross-legged under the panasonic, and the girl was sitting next to him and munching the cake honestly. When she saw Lin Xing woke up, she raised her head and stared at him.
"Little layman, are you awake?"
The old Taoist also opened his eyes and said to him: "After all, you drank a little too much 'Thousand Days Wine'. The tiger and his guests have already left. They tried to wake you up early in the morning, but you didn't."
Wake up. It’s not a good thing to forcefully wake you up. The sun is getting higher and higher. No matter how high it is, it will be difficult to travel. So I have to salute you and leave one after another, saying that if I meet you again in the future, I will definitely say goodbye to you.
Thank you."
When Lin Jue heard this, the image of many spirits saying goodbye to him as they left appeared in his mind.
What a dream...
After groping around for a while, I found that the Qianni Wine was still there and placed in the grass, which seemed to indicate that everything last night was true. The book was also placed on the ground next to me. Last night's banquet itself was very casual.
"Is the immortal master waiting for me?"
"How dare you use the word Immortal Master? Just call him Taoist Master." The old Taoist corrected his wording first, and then said, "I happened to wake up not long ago and just had breakfast. Do you want to go down the mountain together?"
"This is best."
These two people were the only two people who participated in last night's banquet and stayed with him. Not to mention other fates, Lin Jue also wanted to go with them. It seemed that as long as he caught them, he would catch what happened last night.
And if they also leave, maybe as they go down the mountain, even they will start to doubt whether last night was true or false.
"No hurry, no hurry, little layman, let's have something to eat first."
"You can eat while walking."
"Let's eat first."
"That's fine."
Lin Jue took out a piece of tart cake from the book, asked them if they wanted to eat it, then took the kettle in his hand, biting and pulling it, one bite of cake and one mouthful of water, and a few bites of the tart cake was enough.
Then he put the book on his back and went down the mountain.
Not long after walking, there was sudden movement below.
I saw the grass half a man's height shaking for a while, and a path was clearly opened, as if some animal was moving quickly through it.
Suddenly the grass stopped, and a man in gray-white clothes stood up.
"Suck..."
The man looked at them and kept sniffing.
Then the man bowed awkwardly and asked: "Two... fellow Taoists, are you here to attend the tiger's banquet?"
Lin Jue knew that he was not a human, but he also knew that this was the territory of the tiger, and there would be no monsters causing trouble here. Seeing that the old man did not say anything, he replied:
"Exactly."
"Is the tiger's party still on?"
"You are late. Last night has already passed. As of this morning, all the guests have left. We are the last to go down the mountain."
"this……"
The man froze immediately and opened his eyes wide.
Then he showed a look of extreme annoyance.
Thinking about it, the Thousand Sun Wine with the essence of the sun and moon was indeed a great temptation for many spirits. Lin Jue could only feel sorry for him.
"May I ask if the tiger is still there?"
The man still persisted in asking.
"At least not on the top of this mountain. When we woke up, there was no trace of the tiger."
"Do you know where the tiger is?"
"I don't know either."
"Thank you! I have to go find the tiger!"
"Why are you so persistent? The banquet is over and the wine has been drunk. Even if you find the tiger, you won't have the thousand-day wine with the essence of the sun and the moon to drink." Lin Jue couldn't help but kindly reminded him.
"Fellow Taoist, don't worry about this! I asked the tiger for spiritual wine, but it is to save my life!"
"Um?"
Lin Jue was naturally puzzled. He happened to be in a very strange and beautiful mood at this time, so he asked: "How can I say this?"
"It's useless to talk more! I'm going to look for the tiger!"
The man looked in a hurry, and after saying that, he lay down. A cloud of black smoke from the tent exploded, and his body deformed visibly, turning into a big wolf.
Lin Jue couldn't help but take a step back when he saw this, but still said: "Why don't you tell me about it?"
"Woo?"
The big wolf paused, looked at him doubtfully, sniffed, and suddenly his eyes lit up:
"Do you still have spiritual wine with you?"
"Let's talk and listen first."
"Canopy..."
The big wolf transformed into a human again, with an excited expression, but he held it back and saluted him:
"Fellow Taoist doesn't know that many years ago, I was just a wild wolf in the mountains. I was originally the leader of the wolf pack. Later, I failed in the fight with the new wolf and was expelled from the pack. I could hardly survive. When I was in despair, fortunately, I met
I met a brother crow and found the prey under his guidance. From then on, we cooperated with each other. He flew in the sky to find the prey, and I hunted for it. We relied on each other and gradually became old friends.
"However, within two years, I accidentally attained enlightenment. Brother Crow himself was smarter than me, but for some reason he still couldn't attain enlightenment. I searched for many treasures from heaven and earth to prolong its lifespan, hoping that it would attain enlightenment.
You can continue to roam the mountains with me, cooperate in hunting and practice, but you still can't do it. I accidentally heard that the tigers here have a banquet, and there is a magical wine and fairy brew at the banquet. If ordinary animals drink it, they can achieve enlightenment and become spiritual spirits.
"But the tiger's banquet requires gifts, and I am far away. I spent a lot of time looking for gifts that can be used for the banquet. I missed it when I ran over.
"But if you can't ask for the tiger's spiritual wine, my old friend...
"You will have to die."
The man was deeply affectionate and his emotions changed every time he said a word. By the end of the sentence, he was already extremely sad.
Lin Jue didn't comment, just asked: "What is the gift you prepared for the tiger?"
"A piece of earthwork."
The wolf demon turned his back and took out a green thing from his body.
"What's this?"
"The essence of heaven and earth naturally contained in the mountains and forests seems to be dead, but it will naturally flow away in the mountains. It took me a lot of effort to 'catch' it."
"What's the use?"
"The essence of earth and wood, the spiritual essence of the five elements, helps to understand the charm of earth and wood. I heard that although the tiger absorbs the energy of yin and yang, he is good at the magical power of earth, so I brought it here, hoping to impress the tiger.
"
"Give it to me."
When the wolf demon heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
"A gentleman has the beauty of a man. I dare not call him a gentleman, but the tiger just happened to give me an extra cup of 'Thousand Days Wine'. It just so happened that the first drink of this wine has the best effect, but the second drink will be much worse. You are now
I'm afraid it's hard to get what you want if you go looking for the tiger, so why don't we just s"
"really?"
"How dare you lie?"
Lin Jue took off his books and took out a small porcelain vase.
He reached out to take the piece of earth wood essence and handed over the porcelain bottle. While the wolf demon was still in a daze, the exchange was completed.
"Hiss! It smells so good. That fellow Taoist really didn't lie to me! Thank you so much, fellow Taoist!"
"polite."
This is just right.
Lin Jue didn't say anything, took it away, and said to the wolf demon: "I heard that although the spirits in the world take the Yin-Yang Avenue, they absorb too much Yin energy and cannot go out during the day. It's better to go back quickly."
"Okay! I live in Zhoushan. If fellow Taoists come to Zhoushan, you can come to me! Just say goodbye!"
"Don't pass..."
The demon simply swallowed the porcelain bottle, transformed back into its true form, turned around and walked away, disappearing into the sea of ​​wind, waves and grass in the blink of an eye.
Upon seeing this, Lin Jue also stopped being vigilant, put his book on his back again, looked back at the old Taoist, and continued walking forward.
"The little layman has a kind heart."
"It's just an exchange."
The old Taoist was still walking behind him. He just smiled when he heard this, but asked: "I think the little layman's method of nourishing qi is quite authentic, surpassing many magicians and magicians in the world. I don't know where you learned it from?"
"I got it by chance."
"It's fate."
"I wonder where I can grow up in a fairy mountain cave to practice?"
"The Taoist temple is at Fuqiu Peak."
"Fuqiu Peak..."
"Where is the little layman? Where are you going next?"
"Originally, I planned to go to Qiyun Mountain to have a look, and then to Yishan Mountain." Lin Jue was not sure for a while, so he had to tell the truth.
"Qiyun Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain, but Yishan Mountain is very remote. As a scholar, why would you go to these places if you don't go to the famous academy scholars?"
"To be honest..."
Not only was this old Taoist not an ordinary person, but he was probably the master of Taoism he was looking for. He also came to the tiger’s banquet and drank a thousand days of wine. Naturally, he had nothing to hide from him, so he told the truth.
: "I happened to see a demon in the ancestral hall of a neighboring village. I saw the wonders of the world and the miraculous spells. My mind was no longer on fame. I only thought about seeking immortals and asking questions and learning spells. In addition, the spirit was very interested in me.
He said that my heavenly soul was a little unstable and I needed to find a way to rest it. My uncle and aunt could no longer support me in studying, so I no longer hesitated and traveled far away from home to seek immortality and ask questions."
"But the little layman Xunxian asked, what is the purpose of learning magic?"
"I feel free and happy forever."
This is Lin Jue's sincere thought, and he also has his own sufficient reasons. Naturally, there is nothing to hide.
Whatever it is, it is what it is, and whatever it is, just say it.
The old Taoist nodded when he heard this and did not make any comments. He just said: "Most people who seek immortality in the world cannot do without the four words 'free and long life'. It's just the vast majority of people, whether they are princes, nobles, emperors or generals.
Well, maybe those literati and poets who are destined to be passed down through the ages have no immortal destiny. Even if they climb famous mountains to look for them, they are just climbing a mountain and leaving a few poems."
Who says it's not?
This made Lin Jue fall into thinking. This was a question he had been thinking about since yesterday——
Although he has ancient books and can learn spells, spells cannot be learned at a glance. Now it seems that he must have the other party's spell applied to him, that is, to receive the spell, or he must have a rough look at the other party's spell.
operation, both of which bring limitations.
At the same time, there are only magic techniques in ancient books, but there is no practice system other than magic techniques. There is no accompanying knowledge, and it cannot help you understand the practice system of this world and truly enter this world.
Therefore, it may still be necessary to have a mentor.
At least help yourself through the initial part of the journey.
This is not a reckless thing to do.
Should I continue to go to Qiyun Mountain and Yishan Mountain as I thought before? Or should I ask this Taoist here whether he can become a disciple? Can I find the immortal way I want after going to Qiyun Mountain and Yishan Mountain? If I don’t go to Qiyun Mountain and Yishan Mountain,
Will this Taoist be willing to accept him?
