A pot of breaded noodles, the soup base is mushroom chicken soup, and bacon is added to make it salty and fresh.

Brothers and sisters have been reading this for a long time.

It’s not that the bread noodles are really delicious, but that people’s diet has habits and inertia, and it can express people’s emotions.

The first meal Lin Jue cooked on the mountain was bed-rolled noodles, which was probably the first good meal they had since practicing in the mountain. They ate it often after that, and naturally eating it became a habit.

If you don’t eat for a period of time, you will be obsessed with it.

Especially the junior sister complained the most.

At this point, it’s time to gobble it up.

After eating and drinking enough, wiping his mouth, and sitting down to rest for a while, he gradually stood up.

Now Lin Jue has almost learned how to retrieve things from the air with his seventh brother, Hua Kai Mo has already taken the time to write it, and after finishing this last meal, it’s time to move on.

"Brothers and sisters, please put this bowl here and leave it for me to come back and wash it." The seventh brother smiled and said, "I will take you out."

"It's already been sent so far, why do we need to send it again?" said the third senior brother.

"Send it to the official road." Second Senior Brother said.

"There is still one chicken and duck given by the people of Cuiwei. They are both hens and ducks. We will not take away the ones that are ready to lay eggs. This bamboo forest is suitable for raising chickens. Brother Seventh, please take good care of them and hatch more babies.

, you can boil an egg and eat it every day when you don’t want to cook, and you can eat a meal of meat every once in a while." Lin Jue said, "If you can’t keep it well, you can send a letter to the fourth senior brother for some tips."

"I wonder if the Green Miao God will come back. Senior brother, you are not good at fighting, so be careful."

"I know, I know."

The Seventh Senior Brother carried their luggage and said to them: "I heard that there is some famine in a few places ahead, but it is not serious. If you don't want to take famine relief pills on the way, just prepare more food."

"Know."

We walked all the way to the official road and put our bags away.

There was no need to say goodbye. Lin Jue gave him an envelope, waved to each other, and went forward.

The Seventh Senior Brother held the envelope and stared at them.

Cars rumbled and bells rang.

The fox didn't care and jumped ahead, while Caili stood on the cart and turned back to stare at him.

It didn't take long for both sides to lose sight of each other.

"Hey! Feel free!"

The seventh senior brother couldn't help but smile and opened the envelope immediately.

There is also a letter inside——

"I had a great time getting along with my senior brother during the past few years on the mountain. I was also grateful to my senior brother for taking care of me and teaching me spells. The few years really passed by so fast, and I couldn't bear to part with him.

"Knowing that my senior brother likes drama, he happened to have a few skills, so I gave this to him in return:

“One is the dragon transformation show, where weapons and sticks can be turned into poisonous snakes, which can be performed or bluffed;

“One is the magic of silver, which can turn bricks and stones into silver;

“There is also ‘the moment when flowers bloom’ that senior brother wants to learn.

"This spell is not only beautiful and romantic, it can be viewed by others, it can be used for your own pleasure, and it can also be used for self-defense for your senior brother. If you can practice it to an advanced level, even the true king of the gods will be afraid of you. It's just that it's more difficult to practice. Junior brother, thanks to Si Chunzhang

The Qing Emperor of Flowers gave me a blessing, and then I had an epiphany and my attainments advanced by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, I might not have learned it now.

"Senior brother is very talented, maybe faster than me.

"It's all attached below.

"After bidding farewell to the second senior brother and junior sister, the junior brother will probably live in the capital for a while in the future. The capital is prosperous and famous actors gather here. If the senior brother is interested, he can take the time to visit the capital after receiving the junior brother's letter."

When the seventh senior brother read it, he seemed to be able to imagine the younger junior brother's tone.

Can't help but read it again.

After reading it, I saw that there were really three books below.

In addition to the moment when the flowers bloom, there is also a dragon transformation trick and a magic silver trick.

I don’t know where this little junior brother got it from.

"hehe……"

The Seventh Senior Brother laughed twice and was not in the mood to think about this for the time being.

After collecting the letters and books, he did not return to the Taoist temple, but continued walking forward.

Washing the dishes? Stop waiting until tomorrow!

The seventh brother touched his arms and saw a few taels of silver left, so he decided to go to the city to have some fun first.

Now that I have become the master of the temple, I no longer need to hand over money to the master. All the money is at my own discretion. There is no senior brother to remind me, and there is no need to avoid the junior brothers and sisters. Naturally, I feel an unprecedented sense of freedom.

The mood is happy and the steps are brisk.

Went straight into the city.

Listen to music for half a day and drink alcohol for a whole night.

Meeting a few interesting people, drinking and chatting for half the night, the red sleeves are fragrant several times, and happiness is better than that of gods.

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day, when the sky was dark, that I was rushing to open the city gate and walked back to the Taoist temple. When I saw the unfamiliar Taoist temple door, I subconsciously raised my hand to knock, but suddenly I remembered and took my hand back.

No one answered when I knocked, so I leaned against the door and listened to the sound of bamboo.

Only then did I feel sad.

You should spend the rest of your life here.

…

It's another early morning, and the scenery along the roadside is beautiful. The sun shines on the green onions, the mist forms a veil, and the clouds cover the water and surround the countryside.

On the winding mountain road, two Taoists were walking in front, leading a horse, and the horse was pulling a cart. Behind them, two Taoists, one on the left and one on the right, were riding gray donkeys, swaying forward.

.

“We’re almost at Qinzhou ahead, right?”

"Um……"

"Second brother, second brother, let's just buy a donkey for the two of us! You see, they are both sitting on the donkey, leisurely and contented, as if they were traveling around the mountains and rivers. It's just the two of us walking, and the sun is shining

, so bitter!"

"I'm not bitter."

"Anyway, your Taoist temple is so remote that it's almost as remote as the fourth one. When you get there, you go down the mountain to buy a donkey."

"Let's talk about it when we get there."

"Forget it if you don't want to buy it. Anyway, when I send you away, Master Tao, I will have a horse to ride on!"

The third senior brother was very envious of Lin Jue and his junior sister's paper donkeys.

Lin Jue said nothing.

At this time, he was holding a porcelain vase in his left hand, walking on the side near the grass forest, and making secrets with his right hand.

"Come!"

Many dewdrops naturally flew up in the forest, like countless pearls, connected into many lines, and fell into the porcelain vase one after another.

It looks quite nice.

The junior sister turned to stare at him.

The voice of the second senior brother came from the front: "Being able to collect dew from the air and seal the aura, junior brother's picking method has reached a new level."

"I had an epiphany by chance." Lin Jue said with a smile, "It was also my senior brother who taught me well."

"Your talent is indeed the best. No wonder Master made an exception and accepted you. If you can calm down and practice alchemy, you may be able to recreate the glory of the ancient alchemy path."

"Senior brother, please stop boasting..."

"It's not a boast." The second senior brother's voice was calm, "But you must also know that those who lack virtue have many desires, and those who lack Tao have many skills. Finding a great road is more important than learning a thousand spells."

"Junior brother, I remember."

Lin Jueru said this and continued to pick.

The world is mostly clean these days, and most of the dirt on the roadside is dust, so the dew is also very clean and can be used as drinking water.

In addition, if you are in a place with abundant spiritual energy among famous mountains and magnificent scenery, the first dew in the morning often also contains the spiritual charm of the mountains and rivers here and the yin essence of the moonlight overnight.

Therefore, dew is also commonly used in alchemy.

In legends, gods drink dew, and there are children who collect dew specifically for them. Some famous spirits and even insects known for their cleanliness are also believed to make a living by drinking dew.

Not only alchemy and legends, but people in the world also love to drink dew. There was an emperor in this dynasty who only drank dew. Nowadays, many princes and nobles also use dew to make tea, each with their own reasons.

It’s just that the world doesn’t know that although dew has aura, it cannot be absorbed directly by people who have not learned how to take it. Moreover, after it is separated from the grass blades, there is no other way to store it, and the aura will naturally dissipate soon.

Lin Jue did not refine elixirs, but only practiced picking methods.

Now that he can collect dew from a distance, his harvesting method can be regarded as a small accomplishment. If he goes to a higher level, he can directly collect the essence of the aura of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and materialize it.

If we go to another level...

Clouds and mist, morning glow, and sunset light.

The material for this golden elixir, just mastering the method of collecting it will take a long time of hard work.

Lin Jue shook his head and continued to collect information.

It wasn't until the sun dispersed the morning fog and the morning dew disappeared that Lin Jue took back the porcelain vase, stopped practicing, and then continued to sit on the back of the donkey, swaying, and thinking about the words of his second senior brother.

He couldn't remember the original words of that sentence. He only remembered that "those with insufficient virtue have many desires, those with insufficient Tao have many skills", "those with insufficient spirit have many sleeps, those with insufficient yang have many diseases, those with insufficient wisdom have doubts, and those with insufficient knowledge have many diseases."

Words like "Those who worry too much will be troubled if they have insufficient capabilities" and "Those who lack authority will be angry, and those who lack capacity will be resentful".

A lot of it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

Lin Jue himself could not tell whether it was because he had seen too many spells before that he found it difficult to calm down and specialize in a few, or because he had not found a path that suited him, so he wanted to practice every spell he saw.

I just know that if you don’t have academic knowledge, how can you gain enlightenment?

Finding the way is never that easy.

Fortunately, although he still learned a lot of magic, he has gradually focused on it. It is the direction that he likes and is good at, and it may be where the Tao lies.

As I was thinking about it, the trees gradually became sparse and we entered the territory of Langfeng County.

It was now past the autumn harvest season, and the fields on both sides of the road were almost barren. This was normal, but what was a bit strange was that in the fields in front of them, there was no stubble left after harvesting.

Lin Jue sat on the donkey and couldn't help but look back.

The sun is bright and there is a boundary monument behind you.

But there are wheat and grain stubble in the fields behind the boundary monument, but only in front, the fields are clean.

Lin Jue was wondering, while holding the water bottle, he raised his head and drank the last drop of water.

Mouth feels a little dry.

But he didn't panic.

Unless they go to a drought-stricken place, Taoists like them don't need to worry about water shortage. There is water in mountains, springs and rivers, and people can borrow water from others. If there is no water, they can drink dew.

Lin Jue had not yet drunk the dew, because there were a few scattered houses on the road ahead.

"I'll borrow some water."

"I'm almost done drinking too."

The group soon stopped in front of a house.

This family has a small fenced courtyard with an open space. It can be seen that one side was originally a vegetable patch and the other side raised chickens and ducks, but it is now vacant.

"Is anyone there?"

Lin Jue tapped the wood door lightly.

The fox also stood beside him, sticking his head in and looking curiously into the house.

"Is anyone there?"

Lin Jue asked again.

But no one responded inside.

Lin Jue couldn't help but turn around and look at each other with his senior brothers and sisters, feeling a little strange.

The door was obviously open, and so was the room inside, but no one responded.

"嘤~"

The fox barked.

Lin Jue understood what he meant.

"Is there anyone?"

"Let's go to another house. Maybe they are taking a nap." The third senior brother said, "It's time for a nap."

"Something's not right." Lin Jue didn't think so, "Go in and have a look."

After making his decision, he moved forward.

As soon as the fox saw him entering the door, he tilted his head and thought for a moment, then jumped in too, reaching the middle of the courtyard with one step, and then entered the house with another step.

The Taoists followed closely behind.

I saw a woman sitting on the ground against the wall. She was as skinny as firewood. Although her eyes were still open, she was as angry as a thread.

When she saw a few people coming in, her eyes moved.

"Um?"

Several people ignored the etiquette and came closer to check.

"What's going on?"

"Looks like he's hungry!"

"We don't have any cooked food..."

"I have a rescue pill here."

The second senior brother took out a famine-saving pill from his arms.

"Is there water?"

"I still have a little bit left."

One of them crushed the pill, one took a bowl, and the other poured water. They worked together to feed the woman.

Lin Jue smelled a little stench.

When he turned around, he saw that the fox had arrived at the door of another room. He did not go in, but stared straight inside.

The smell came from inside.

Lin Jue went over to take a look——

There are people here who starve to death at home.
