"Boom!"

There were footsteps outside, and then there was a knock on the door.

Lin Jue and Fuyao both turned their heads and looked over. The silver-eating ghost turned into smoke and got back into the wood carving. Only some pieces of official silver fell on the bed.

"who?"

"The Taoist priest arrived so late, have you had dinner?" The voice of the innkeeper came from outside, "If you want something to eat in the store, I can bring it to the room for the Taoist priest."

"Is there any convenient and affordable food?"

"There are soup cakes and chowder rice. A bowl of soup cakes costs ten cents, and a bowl of chowder rice that is smooth and nourishing to the stomach costs fifteen cents. It has meat and plenty of oil and water."

The two were talking through a wooden door.

Lin Jue thought for a moment: "Then I want two bowls of soup cakes."

Based on the habits of the lower class people these days, it is possible that the chowder rice is made from the leftover food of other customers, and neither the store owner nor the customers eating the chowder rice would think there is anything wrong with this, but Lin does not feel that it is special.

Still don't want to eat leftovers.

"Two bowls?"

"yes."

"Okay!"

The footsteps slowly left again.

"Come out."

"call……"

The silver-eating ghost then reappeared, transforming into a big-headed child ghost. Immediately, he looked at the silver on the bed again, as if he was afraid that it had disappeared.

"Don't panic, I locked the door, I was just a waiter at the inn." Lin Jue looked at it, "How do these two pieces of silver taste?"

"Huh? These two..."

The silver-eating ghost didn't know why he asked such a question, but looking at the two pieces of silver in his hands, one was a piece of honeycomb silver worth ten taels, and the other was some scattered silver taels, adding up to about ten taels.

He leaned over and smelled it carefully, and answered truthfully:

"Both of these pieces of silver don't smell strange. It's just that this ten-tael piece of grained silver smells very fragrant. Some of this bag of broken silver also smells very fragrant, and some of them have a lighter smell."

"This ten-tael piece of grained silver was given to me by my senior brother for looking for people's souls. Most of the broken silver in this bag was obtained by me by hunting down demons and exorcising evil spirits for people in the city. The rest was obtained by my senior brother who sold elixirs.

of."

"So that's it..."

The silver-eating ghost almost knew why he asked this question, so he suppressed his weakness and told him what he knew:

"The real person eliminates demons, catches ghosts and exorcises evil spirits for people, and the people voluntarily donate silver. The money obtained in this way is naturally very fragrant. It is very common for the real person's senior brother to sell elixirs, but it is not easy to breed strange smells. They are just two different things.

If the taste of silver is put together, well, not only if it is put together, as long as it is given to the same person, the taste will also change over time.

"If you put fragrant silver and ordinary silver together, the ordinary silver will also be tainted with some fragrance, and correspondingly, the smell of fragrant silver will become lighter.

"If you put fragrant silver and strange-smelling silver together, the strange-smelling silver may not become fragrant, but the fragrant silver will definitely be stained with a strange smell.

“I don’t know the reason behind this, but I have experienced it over time.”

After speaking, he held the silver and looked at Lin Jue.

"It's actually like this..."

Lin Jue sat at the table and was lost in thought. He looked into his eyes and said immediately: "You are eating, aren't you starving?"

"The little one will eat this bag of broken silver first! Keep this piece of grained silver for next month?"

"Eat it all."

Lin Jue said to him. He turned around and saw that his fox was putting his front paws on the bench, as if standing up, staring at the ten taels of honeycomb silver in the hand of the silver-eating ghost. He smiled.

laughed:

"It's actually because I earned this bag of broken silver, and this ten taels of official silver was earned by my Fuyao Demon Slayer. They are not the same. As for next month, there will be another one next month."

Yue’s method.”

"good!"

The silver-eating ghost couldn't bear it any longer. He picked up a piece of broken silver and took a deep sniff. It was like eating a jelly bean and threw it into his mouth.

Both the Taoist and the fox stared at it with open eyes.

Just heard a squeaking and banging sound.

After a while, it turned into a rustling sound again.

Although it sounded harsh to the ears, it could be seen that it was chewing slowly, intoxicated, enjoying and even a little moved. The Taoist and the fox looked at each other and both felt that their mouths were filled with saliva unknowingly.

Lin Jue thought for a while, then took another broken piece of silver and handed it to the fox:

"You should try it too."

The fox looked down at Yin, then looked up at him. Out of trust in him, he actually took half a step forward, stretched his neck, and took Baiyin from his hand.

Lin Jueming saw that its mouth was working hard.

"Hey!"

After taking a few bites, it couldn't bear it anymore and had to spit out the silver that was covered with teeth marks. It turned to look at the silver-eating ghost in confusion, then looked at Lin Jue, blinking its eyes, wondering why it couldn't chew it thoroughly.

Not only was it hard to chew, but my teeth also hurt.

While thinking, he pushed the silver to Lin Jue with his paw, and looked up at him expectantly.

"I won't eat."

Lin Jue said directly: "I'm not stupid."

"??"

The fox was immediately shocked and stunned.

Fortunately, not long after, there were footsteps outside again.

One person and one fox turned their heads at the same time again.

The silver-eating ghost was extremely cautious and got into the quilt again with the silver. Even the sound of chewing silver stopped.

Lin Jue went to open the door, and there was a waiter outside carrying two bowls of soup cakes.

"Just give it to me, don't bother bringing it in."

"Okay! Taoist Master, just leave the bowls and chopsticks outside the door of the room after you finish eating. I will come back later to collect them."

"Thank you."

"The Taoist priest is so polite..."

The waiter left, and Lin Jue took the bowl back to the house. The fox naturally pushed the door to the left and right, closing it in the wrong order. It paused and thought for a moment, and then closed the door again.

With a flick of the claw, the latch was inserted.

The silver-eating ghost also came out.

"Eat them all."

Lin Jue put down two bowls of soup cakes.

So the small room of the inn was filled with the sounds of people, a fox and a ghost eating. They were all different, but they were all mixed together, and no one said a word.

The three parties finished eating almost at the same time, and they were all full and satisfied.

Lin Jue took out the bowls and chopsticks and put them at the door. When he turned around, he saw the silver-eating ghost with a ecstasy on its face. Its belly was bulging, as if something was moving around inside, and something was coming out of its body.

There was a spiritual light, and there was a spiritual energy rising above the head that could be seen with the naked eye, and then he burped:

"belch!"

Opening his mouth and spitting it out, there were two elixirs floating in the air as if they were weightless.

Silver-eating Ghost quickly caught it with his hand and handed it to Lin Jue.

"Good work."

After Lin Jue took it, he lowered his head to look at the spiritual elixir in his hand, and then looked at the silver-eating ghost. He always felt that it was strange. It would be better not to watch the process of it spitting out the elixir.

Then divide the two into two parts.

One of them was handed to Fuyao.

"Take it and eat it. This is what you earned through hard work in exterminating demons. Don't say that I stole your money, and don't say that I won't give you the elixir." Lin Jue said to it.

"嘤~"

The fox's eyes were bright. He came over again and took away the pill. After thinking about it, he also turned to look at the silver-eating ghost. He imitated Lin Jue's words, but his voice was clear and crisp:

"Thank you!"

After saying that, he didn't rush to eat, but continued to stare at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue smiled and swallowed it in one gulp.

The fox felt relieved and swallowed it in one gulp.

Lin Jue sat cross-legged.

The fox sits upright.

Both parties practiced meditation quietly, digesting and comprehending the mystery of the elixir.

When Lin Jue opened his eyes, the silver-eating ghost had already fallen asleep in the wooden sculpture. This thing would sleep after eating and drinking. If it had not fallen into the hands of evil people, it would be quite comfortable.

Lin Jue put away the wood carving and saw that his fox was still sitting upright with his eyes closed. It even showed its original size at some point. It looked as big as an ordinary leopard. Sitting upright, with two fluffy tails behind it, it looked like

In addition to being beautiful, it was also somewhat heroic, so I looked at it for a while.

Then he sat back on the bed and took out the ancient book.

"Wow..."

Even after turning a few pages, all I turned over were prescriptions for elixirs.

"Spin Turtle Pill."

"Meng Huai Dan."

"Liu Niu Dan."

"Quiet Pill."

It was all taught to him by his second senior brother.

The second senior brother told him the elixir prescription once, which triggered the mystery of the ancient book, and more detailed contents were naturally revealed in the book.

The book contains the author's detailed description of this elixir, which is inevitably mixed with some of the author's views on the principles of elixirs. Coupled with the explanations of the second senior brother, Lin Jue benefited a lot.

This can be listened to and read over and over again.

But he turned down another page.

"Wow..."

The art of retrieving objects from a distance and summoning them.

Although this method is a drama, it is mysterious and difficult to learn, and one must have excellent talent to get started.

Beginners can recite a mantra to pick up an object, and pick it up a few feet away, without any obstruction in between; advanced ones can wave their sleeves to pick up an object, and pick up an object several feet away, with some obstruction in the middle; if they can reach the top, they can pick up an object a hundred feet away, and the other party will not be able to pick it up.

You can take whatever is in your hand;

If you can use external forces such as magical arrays and artifacts, you can retrieve objects thousands of miles away.

"So, Senior Brother Seventh's talent should be considered top-notch. After all, he seems to only practice opera, but in this opera, there are several mysterious and difficult spells."

Lin Jue thought to himself.

Recall that the Seventh Brother once took the hand crossbow from the Jianghu Swordsman's waist. The hand crossbow was hung on a belt, and he also took the seal money bag from Qiuruzhi County's arms. This should be an advanced level.

"Fuqiu Temple..."

"Sure enough, the only thing missing is the great yin and yang method."

Lin Jue shook his head, held the pages of the book, and listened in detail.

It's just that at his current level, he is no longer authoritative. He no longer accepts everything he says as truth just because the author of the ancient book may be highly moral and knowledgeable. Instead, he rationally realizes that the author of the ancient book may be

It is true that he has a high level of Taoism, a wide range of knowledge, and lives a long time, but his brothers are also talented, majoring in one discipline, and have their own unique insights.

Moreover, the senior brothers are in reality, right beside me.

Therefore, the two learning channels have different perspectives and each has its own advantages.

The author of the ancient book has the advantage of being high-minded and knowledgeable. He has a higher perspective and can draw circumstantial evidence, allowing those who come after him to draw parallels and even inspire new insights.

The seniors can be more considerate, teach him step by step, answer his questions at any time, and even analyze the problems he encounters and give him ideas.

Both are excellent learning channels.

When both parties are combined, there is nothing better than this.

As he listened, the fox woke up, yawned, stretched, and rolled on the ground again, gradually returning to the same size as before.

Almost the same, but smaller each time and closer to the size of a cat each time.

Then there were footsteps outside again.

Out of vigilance, Lin Jue opened his eyes slightly, released his hand from the book, and looked out the door.

Like the footsteps of the guy.

But if you listen carefully, it doesn't sound like it.

The footsteps were much slower and softer, like a walking corpse, or like someone who is extremely tired and can no longer walk, holding on to the wall and dragging his feet, making a slight sound on the ground.

Footsteps stopped at their door.

The fox stared outside seriously and curiously.

The door moved.

Then there was the sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks.

Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief and could imagine the waiter outside holding the door and bending down to pick up the bowl.

I was just about to sigh that life is not easy these days. I am afraid this guy started working before dawn and has been busy until now, when the moon is high in the sky, but the next moment, he heard two popping sounds.

It was as if someone fell to the ground, and the bowls and chopsticks also fell to the ground, followed by the sound of crashing and breaking, and the sound of someone vomiting.

"Um?"

Lin Jue's right hand immediately produced a few more beans, and he also pinched one in his left hand. It instantly turned into a long sword, held it in his hand, and went to push the door to take a look.

The person outside the door was none other than the innkeeper.

The guy fell to the ground and vomited.
Chapter completed!
