"Senior brother, senior brother!"
Lin Jue was chopping firewood on the mountain, and suddenly he heard a girl's voice behind him.
"Ugh..."
The hatchet in his hand was still chopping down.
When he turned around, he saw that it was the junior sister of the Taoist temple. Like Lin Jue, she had already put on a newly made Taoist robe. Unlike Qi Yunshan, it was made of light gray fabric.
And she was not short, with fair and delicate complexion, and a small and pointed chin. She was standing in the woods below looking up at him.
"What's up?"
Lin Jue wiped the sweat from his face and looked at her.
The little fox next to her was holding a twig in her mouth and turned to look at her.
"Senior brother, look!"
The little junior sister raised her hands high, and her two white and tender arms naturally appeared from the wide sleeves of her hanging Taoist robe. She held a few ugly pears in her hands, showing them to him like a treasure.
It is about the same size as a duck egg, and even the smaller one is only as big as a chicken egg. Its surface is not regular. It is a wild pear that grows in the mountains.
"I picked them on the road. There are a lot of them in the mountains. They don't look good and they are not big, but they are very delicious. When you bite them, they are full of water and the skin is gone. And just smelling them is very fragrant!"
Lin Jue also saw it on the way here.
Otherwise, the mountains are full of spiritual energy. Even an ordinary wild pear is extremely sweet.
But it was far less than the look on the little girl's face as she showed off and shared it with him.
"For me?"
"Of course! I'll pick it again when I get back!"
"Thank you, junior sister."
"Senior brother, you're welcome!"
The little junior sister imitated the tone of her senior brothers and immediately put down the handful of wild pears and held the Taoist robe in one hand.
"Senior brother, look!"
There was another sound, a clear sound that echoed through the mountains.
This time the girl only raised one hand, and only a part of her arm was exposed. In her hand, she was holding several stones.
I saw her clenching her fists, and the thin tendons in her wrists suddenly appeared, as well as the corners of her eyebrows, eyes, and mouth.
Let go again——
A cloud of stone powder fell down.
"Have you finished your studies?"
Lin Jue opened his eyes wide.
"I'm getting started! I've learned it! Master said I have a good talent, very good!" The little junior sister hesitated, modified her wording, then bent down to pick up a slightly larger stone, and said to Lin Jue, "Senior brother, look!
"
"laugh……"
The stone powder fell suddenly and sprinkled on the ground.
It's like proving it wasn't a trick.
"I see, I see." Lin Jue nodded and smiled at her, "It's awesome."
"Senior brother, look!"
I bent down to pick up another one and showed it to him.
"I saw it, I saw it."
Lin Jue turned around and continued chopping wood.
The little fox looked at the junior sister, then at Lin Jue, and then continued to hold the twigs in his mouth, taking small steps and placing them aside, forming a pile.
"Senior brother, I may not be able to chop wood with you anymore."
"Huh? Why?"
"Master said that I have a very good talent, but this 'Qishi' method is a relatively rigid method and requires diligent practice."
"How to practice?"
"Master said that we have been friends with Xianyuan Temple for generations, but we have to climb several mountains from here to Xianyuan Temple, and each mountain is very steep. The road we are taking now was built by the predecessors of Fuqiu Temple.
It was cultivated by a senior who had learned the stone-breaking method in the past. Although I walked through mountains and turned over rocks, the cultivation was actually very rough and not easy to walk." The little girl said with a serious look, as if repeating, "Master said that my talent is better than them all.
Let me go and build the road again, make it into stairs, and practice my spells at the same time."
The little girl came over and put the pear on the ground.
"It is said that it will be convenient for him to visit Xianyuan Temple when his legs and feet are not working in two years. It will also make it easier for the disciples of Fuqiu Temple to communicate with Xianyuan Temple in the future."
Lin Jue slashed again, but couldn't help but turn around.
The little girl has come behind him.
A teenage girl is delicate and delicate, fair and tender, and makes people pity her.
The willow hair is not floating, but the breeze is too weak, and the figure is not visible. It is only because the Taoist robe is too loose. In fact, this little junior sister is a very beautiful girl, but her ordinary personality makes it easy to overlook this.
But……
Isn’t this about working as a hard worker on road construction?
Lin Jue couldn't help but frowned.
"Senior brother, look!"
I was caught off guard and heard this sentence again.
There happened to be a big granite stone next to him. Seeing him turn around, the junior sister immediately raised her hands and clapped her hands towards the big stone.
"Pa..."
Suddenly a palm-sized patch of gray appeared on the rock, and when the wind blew, a line of powder spread out.
The little junior sister stared at him with wide eyes, her eyes were so bright.
"..."
Lin Jue thought about it carefully and agreed with the master's decision: "Junior sister, please listen to the master. Building roads is a good thing. The merits are in the present and will benefit the future. What's more, you can practice your magic. What's wrong with this kind of thing?
Are you happy but not doing it?"
"I think so too!"
"Um……"
"Senior brother, look!"
"..."
The junior sister left after a while.
Lin Jue continued to chop wood.
The only person accompanying him at this time was the little fox beside him.
This little fox is still in the stage of growing and learning. It’s hard to say whether it regards people as its kind or as a human being. It may be that the only people around it often see are people, so it always likes to follow and learn from others.
Whatever you do, it wants to follow suit. But this is also the nature of young animals.
This little thing has a sense of responsibility. Seeing Lin Jue's little junior sister who was chopping firewood before, he picked up firewood and moved it. Now that the junior sister is gone, it learned to collect and move firewood and pile it together.
Only thin branches can be dragged, but if they are larger branches and pieces of wood, it will be very difficult to move.
No matter how hard it is, it won't give up.
Anyway, I want to help.
As for this little junior sister——
Lin Jue also asked Master.
This little junior sister is the only daughter in the family. There are no boys in the family. There is always a need for work in the village, so she has been raised as a boy when she was a child. This may be the source of her lack of squeamishness.
It's just that the girl was not a boy after all. When she got older, her family wanted to marry her off. She happened to be good-looking and lovable, so they collected some money and betrothed her to the eldest son of a wealthy family in the village.
In this day and age, that might not be a bad thing.
Coincidentally, the man died of illness before he even came through.
Later, a monster appeared in the village. It was a water monster who called himself He Bo. Now that the imperial court's control over the local area was gradually declining, the monster became so rampant that it demanded human sacrifices. The villagers thought she was ominous, so they sacrificed her to the water monster. This water monster was Lin.
I heard about it when I was in Danxun County, the one that the old man got rid of.
When Lin Jue first met her, she was wearing good clothes. At that time, he thought she came from a good family, but he later found out that she was wearing them for "He Bo".
It's also a bit ironic.
However, this little junior sister is very generous. She is neither frightened to the point of illness nor depressed. At such a young age, she has actually forgotten the freedom and ease she once had.
Lin Jue continued to chop wood.
When you feel thirsty and tired, eat pears.
…
At dusk the next day, Lin Jue was sweeping the floor in the yard.
It was really quiet in the mountains at this time. Every time the broom was waved on the ground, it made a rustling sound that echoed far and wide in the forest.
The clouded leopard lay resting at the door.
Several cats were scattered in the courtyard, lying or sitting on their backs. A young fox mixed in among them, turning its head to imitate the cat next to it, raising a paw to lick it non-stop.
Suddenly a beggar came from outside.
The beggar's hair was messy, his body was covered with gray, his bag was covered with gray, and his face was covered with gray. He could vaguely distinguish his youthful face and the Taoist robe on his body, and he walked into the courtyard as if there was no one else around.
The clouded leopard turned its head to stare at her, turning its head as she moved.
All the cats in the courtyard looked at her.
There was an obvious look of doubt in the fox's eyes.
"Brother!"
As soon as the beggar saw Lin Jue, he walked over to him. He stood directly in front of him, put his hand into his bag and groped for a while, and took out a handful of ground fruits.
"Senior brother, look!"
After saying that, he held it in his hand and handed it to Lin Jue.
Naturally, my hands were also covered in dust.
However, the aroma that the ground fruit exudes is more attractive than most fruits.
"..."
Lin Jue looked down at the earth fruit in her hand, then looked up at this person: "Junior sister, how did you become like this?"
"The road is being built!"
There is ash on the lips, and there is ash in the mouth.
"Why is there so much dust in your mouth?"
"Because I use magic to break stones into powder. People have to drink gas. Once they drink gas, they drink all the ashes into their mouths." The junior sister said, as if she didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all. "
Senior brother, take it first. I saw a lot of them on the cliff when I was building the road today. I picked them when I ran out of magic power. I picked a lot of them and brought them back specially for you."
"Didn't you eat?"
"I ate it. I ate a lot. I picked it and ate it without washing it. I wonder if I will get a stomachache." The junior sister said for a while, "I want to learn what you are learning about taking food, senior brother."
It’s law.”
Lin Jue had already taken the earth fruit from her hand.
Holding the fruit in hand, he turned around and walked a few steps. Before he could put it into the stove, he heard the sound of rustling behind him again.
He turned around and saw that the junior sister had taken his broom naturally and started sweeping.
Dust collects in piles under the broom.
This guy doesn't seem to get tired.
Seeing her like this, Lin Jue suddenly felt something in his heart——
The appearance of the little junior sister I saw yesterday morning will probably not appear again for a long time in the future.
…
After that, it was probably like this for a while, practicing spiritual practices, chopping wood and fetching water, and doing odd jobs in my spare time.
Inside the paper windows and bamboos, there is often the sound of chanting.
I don’t know if the Yin Yang Spiritual Technique is suitable for Lin Jue. In short, Lin Jue’s talent is considered to be very good. After practicing for more than a month, in the words of an experienced Taoist, he has achieved a meager level of Taoism.
At the beginning, because the Little Yin and Yang method emphasized "safety and caution", the weak Qi was used to leverage the strong Qi during practice. At this time, the Tao was shallow and the human body was weak and could not withstand the strong Yin and Yang aura. Therefore, Lin Juehe
Junior sisters practice mostly around midnight and noon - these are the two times when the gap between yin and yang qi is the largest, the strong qi is the strongest and the weak qi is the weakest, so they can withstand it.
Noon is fine, but midnight is too grinding.
These days few people stay up until midnight, and most of them go to bed as soon as it gets dark.
It’s better now. After that stage, you can practice at any time except in the morning and dusk. It only ends when you reach an inexplicable “tired state”.
I heard that in the future, when the Tao is high, you can practice it all the time, but the efficiency of the small yin and yang method will never be as good as that of the big yin and yang method.
Chapter completed!
