"Junior brothers and sisters have come to watch the school for two days, are you still getting used to it?" The eldest brother asked them with concern.
"Habit."
"Habit!"
"There are some chores during the observation, do you find it hard?"
"It's nothing. I have to work in the village, but I'm not used to being too free." Lin Jue answered truthfully.
"I don't work hard either."
"Pindao is looking for something to do for our junior brothers and sisters. He also wants you to stay idle and adapt to life in the mountains." The senior brother said, "That's how life is in the mountains."
"You know, senior brother, if you have any work to do, just ask me."
"I know it too."
"It's really alive. The water in the temple is about to run out. After finishing the meal, junior brother, go to the nearby mountain spring to fetch a few buckets. Each time fetch a little less and walk more times. You can be tired and don't get hurt.
"
"knew."
"I'll go too!"
"Just in time, junior brother, I have free time today, so I will start to help you refine your Tumu Essence." The second senior brother sitting next to him also spoke and said to Lin Jue, "Refining the aura of the five elements of heaven and earth requires the use of spiritual water.
There is a holy water spring in the mountain, which gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon, so it is most suitable for use here. But the journey is a bit far. Let Dahei in the temple lead the way, and you can go get a bucket back first."
"OK."
"It's a long way to go. I'll give you a magic pill. Don't eat it yet. Just think of it as exercise. If you're not strong enough and can't walk anymore, or you're too late, or you're being chased by monsters, then take it. Eat it.
After that, the strength of the legs will naturally be strong, just like the wind, whether you are walking or running, you will become much faster." The second senior brother said, "Remember that the holy spring has a spirit. When you go to the spring, you must be sincere and not blasphemous, state your purpose clearly, and say
'Ask the holy spring to give water', and the spring water will come out naturally."
"Noted it down."
Lin Jue got a blue pill from him, which was contained in a small porcelain bottle only as big as a thumb.
There isn't really much to do in the temple.
This is especially true for several senior brothers. Because they don't even do morning and evening classes, they just practice and practice spells on their own, with only a few chores every day.
That is to receive pilgrims, chop wood and water, and go down the mountain to buy. In addition, nowadays, the world is getting more and more chaotic. There are more pilgrims going up the mountain than before. Sometimes pilgrims come with requests. At this time, they often have to follow the pilgrims down the mountain to remove them.
Exorcising evil spirits and spending most of the rest of the time killing time.
After having two junior brothers and junior sisters, a lot of these chores have been shared.
I'm afraid it will be more leisurely.
Lin Jue and his wife have a little more to do, because they have to recite scriptures every morning, and in the future they will also learn to practice spiritual and magical arts, and they will also have to do chores.
Lin Jue didn't think it was anything.
Junior sister seems to be the same way.
Just like fetching water today, this kind of thing has nothing to do with practice. Lin Jue just knows that practicing spiritual methods should not be impatient. Being idle is also idle. There is nothing wrong with doing something. And as the senior brother said, they have just arrived
Here, it is inevitable to feel uneasy and uncomfortable. If you are too idle, you will feel uncomfortable. There are some things that are better to do, which will help you gradually adapt to the mountains and Taoist temples.
But he didn't expect that the junior sister who was not originally assigned would also take the initiative to come with him.
Even Lin Jue had to go to the Holy Water Spring to get water in order to extract the essence of earth and wood. It took half a day to go back and forth, so she also carried a bucket and insisted on going with him.
Lin Jue guessed that he had let her down in learning spells and choosing a room, and he had recited sutras for her in the morning to help her interpret them. She was grateful to him, and it was normal for her to want to repay her.
At the same time, both of them are brothers and sisters, and they worshiped at the temple at the same time. They are both the two lowest ranked in the temple, and they are similar in age. Naturally, they should be closer. He has taken care of her several times, and she has taken care of him.
It is normal for your good feelings to increase.
Maybe now she will regret it extremely when she thinks about the time when she was wary of her good senior brother.
Lin Jue wanted to laugh a little when he thought of this.
In short, at this time, the two of them had each carried a wooden bucket, and under the leadership of a thin black dog, they shuttled through the mountain roads and forest roads to the holy water spring.
Behind him was a little fox no bigger than a palm.
This little thing is just like an ordinary cat or dog. It gets very restless when no one is around and barks incessantly. If someone follows it, it won't make any noise or fuss. The disadvantage is that it has to run with people. If Lin Jue takes a step, it will at least
It had to take ten steps to keep up, and I was really afraid that it would be exhausted halfway.
The mountain path is steep and difficult to walk with lush vegetation.
"Senior brother..."
The little girl spoke weakly and took the initiative to talk to him: "Do you know how our Taoist temple came to be?"
"how come?"
"I heard that a long time ago, my ancestor was a good man with great virtue and reputation. He always wanted to become an immortal and learn the magic of immortality. One day he met an immortal on the road. He asked the immortal to teach him how to cultivate immortality and magic. The immortal was because of what he did.
It was difficult to refuse many good deeds, so I told him, ahead, oh no, pointed to a hillside in front and said to him...
"If you can level this mountain, I will teach you the magic of immortality.
"My ancestor started to move the mountain. He dug from morning to night every day, even when it was windy or rainy. It took him thirty years to finally move the hillside to the other side.
"The gods taught him these seven magical arts.
"Master told me yesterday!"
This little junior sister is taking the initiative to get closer to him.
As a teenage girl, you can really hear the emotion and character in every tone of every sentence.
"It turns out this is the one who moved mountains."
"That's right! Later, the god told the Patriarch that this place turned out to be his, his, the place where he had practiced before..."
"Dojo."
"Yes! Taoist temple! Then let him come here to practice, and he came here to practice Taoism, which is our Fuqiu Temple."
"So that's it."
No wonder Taoist Yunhe likes to pick up disciples along the way. It turns out that the ancestor also acquired the inheritance along the way.
It's just that worldly legends are always tainted with the preferences of people in the world, and are sometimes untrue, flattering, beautifying and uglifying. Therefore, words such as "immortal" and "immortal magic" in the story need to be combined with the world's cognition and the time.
It’s hard to say whether it’s true or false. It’s been too long.
"Then what kind of magic is 'Ji Shi'?"
"Master said it is a very powerful earth magic. It is suitable for fighting. It can crush rocks and beat other things into paste. But it is best used to deal with rocks."
"Sounds awesome."
"I haven't learned yet..."
"Junior sister, study hard, maybe senior brother will have to rely on you to protect him in the future."
"I will work hard!"
This sentence is quite firm.
From the observations over the past few days, it seems that this little girl is indeed diligent and serious, and she is not afraid of hardship or fatigue. Lin Jue really believes her words.
After chatting, we arrived at the Holy Water Spring.
Looking back, I saw that the little fox cub was still running behind me, jumping over branches on the road and stepping over small holes in the ground. Its legs were flying so fast that it even made people feel a little distressed to see it.
"You little thing..."
Lin Jue lowered his head and watched it approaching and slowing down as it got closer.
"Did you hear that today? Fourth senior brother didn't find your parents on the mountain. If you can't find them in a few days, you will have to follow me in the future."
Naturally, I didn't get any response.
When ordinary people say this to cats and dogs, they often don’t really think they can understand it.
Lin Jue shook his head and couldn't bear it to keep running, so he picked it up and stuffed it into his arms, then followed the black dog forward with two buckets.
There is a spring there.
The spring is on a stone wall, about three feet above the ground. On the stone wall there are three characters of "Holy Water Spring" inscribed in seal script. The grass below is shallow, and the gravel is all over the ground, and a trace has been washed away.
No water flows out at this time.
Lin Jue walked to the spring and reported the matter truthfully and sincerely according to what his second senior brother had told him:
"Holy spring is above. I am the twelfth generation new disciple of Fuqiu Temple. My surname is Lin Jue. I met a spirit on the way who was thirsty for spiritual wine. I happened to have spiritual wine, so I exchanged the spiritual wine for him for a piece of earth.
Essence, if you want to extract its spiritual charm at this time, you need to use spiritual water."
Having said that, I am actually very curious in my heart, could this spring really produce water at people's request?
Thinking of this, his heart trembled again. He didn't know if his thinking like this was disrespectful to the holy spring and blasphemous. He didn't dare to gamble, for fear that gambling would also be an offense, so he had to hurriedly stop the thought.
"Please Holy..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a popping sound.
The sound came from the spring.
Just when Lin Jue was surprised and guilty, feeling that his thoughts just now had indeed offended Lingquan, he heard the sound of air and gurgling coming from the spring. In just a moment, spring water flowed out.
It is a trickle at first, and then becomes like a spray column in a moment.
Lin Jue reacted and quickly picked up the bucket.
The junior sister behind him was also very surprised.
The little fox with only one head exposed in his arms also opened his eyes wide.
One bucket was filled with half, and the other was filled with half. Soon, Lin Jue had all he wanted.
"Enough is enough."
Lin Jue couldn't help but speak.
Oddly enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the water became smaller.
After a while, it stopped.
Lin Jue couldn't help but feel dull and confused.
"Thank you for your hard work, junior sister."
“It’s not hard work!”
So I walked back with my junior sister carrying water, stopping and walking, eating eggs to satisfy my hunger, and picking some familiar wild fruits to satisfy my craving. It took me much longer than the time before returning to the Taoist temple - originally I was carrying the water alone.
It took two trips to carry water to get a full bucket of water, but with the help of my junior sister, I only had to carry it once.
Give it to the second senior brother.
When I came out and was about to continue fetching water, I happened to meet an old man, so I couldn't help but stop and ask.
The old Taoist raised his head and brushed his beard and smiled:
"There is a god in this mountain, and there is a spirit in the holy spring. How can the spring water not know whether you are respectful or disrespectful in your heart? How can it not know what your character is? Since your intention has already arrived, why do you need a spell to urge it?"
"Since your intention has already arrived, why do you need a spell to urge..."
Lin Jue couldn't help but murmur, thoughtfully.
The practice of magic in this world is not what he originally thought, but along the way, he continues to see and hear what he sees and hears, which continues to update his understanding and perfect the world in his mind.
