There are five peach gums in total, amber and translucent.

Lin Jue took it out and looked at it while walking.

There is no way——

Everyone gave it to me, so I could only accept it as a farewell gift from a senior and an old friend.

But what is the use of this? How to use it?

Can you also cook it and eat it?

But what is this?

Peach trees produce peach gum, and Lin Jue has also eaten it, but a peach tree that has become a spirit and talked to you for a few days will give you a few pieces of peach gum. If it is produced by itself, if it is placed on a human being, it is considered a gift.

What?

Lin Jue always felt a little strange.

Strange as it is, I feel in a good mood, which is both a bit magical and ethereal, but also a bit beautiful and leisurely.

At this time, I had a book on my back that was almost as good as new, and I was using a whistle stick as a walking stick. I was only two days away from Qiyun Mountain, so walking naturally felt more and more brisk.

Just walking on the road, Lin Jue was a little more thoughtful than before.

Just always pay attention to the flowers, plants and trees on the roadside.

To practice Wood Escape, you must first be in harmony with the vegetation.

Lin Jue didn't know how to get along with the plants and trees, so he had to stop from time to time to observe plants that he had never recognized or noticed before. He stretched out his hand to touch the leaves and look at its details.

In his previous life, he knew many people who loved flowers, plants and trees. That kind of love was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Most of them were women with delicate minds. At that time, Lin Jue only thought that these flowers, plants and trees were ordinary things, and they would be nowhere to be found if they were not there.

If you can't see it, there is no place worth looking at it carefully and recording it. But now the facts have almost easily proved that it was just that I didn't have the mood and time to look at them carefully at that time.

Because at this time Lin Jue did not have any spiritual practice or insights. He just spent a little more time and energy to take a closer look and discovered that they were unusual.

Almost every tree is different and has its own unique features. Almost every flower is also different. Every newly bloomed flower is so delicate and clean. Even the smallest flower, if you look closely, the petals will appear.

The flowers and stamens are also so delicate and complex, far more than just a few lines and a few colors in the painting.

What's more, it's summer, the season when lush vegetation grows wildly. In addition to wildflowers blooming along the roadside, there are also vines bearing fruits. These vegetations are displaying their life and temperament wantonly.

As Lin Jue watched carefully, he was surprised and amazed at times, as if he had discovered the interest in it.

Naturally, it's just fun.

When it comes to understanding, there is no sense at all.

But this also made him feel satisfied and even surprised.

Because fun itself is a precious thing.

As a result, my walking speed was delayed a lot.

Even if he saw an ancient tree that was thicker than his own, even in the forest beside the road, as long as it was not too difficult to walk, he would put down his book and go there to visit. Sometimes, he would follow what the book and the tree demon said,

Put your hands on the trunk of the tree to feel the texture of the bark, concentrate your attention, try to feel the essence of the tree, understand the aura of the wood with your heart, and then imagine that you are the same, and strive to become one with it.

Feeling that his mind was bright and having fun, he recited a mantra and tried to put his hand through the tree.

"Ha ha……"

Of course it is completely impossible.

Lin Jue was not discouraged at all. He was a beginner and wanted to have some fun. He shook his head and smiled, then came back, put his book on his back, and continued to move forward.

…

In the middle of the afternoon, the young scholar stopped by the roadside and spoke to an old man working in the fields down the road:

"I dare to ask my father-in-law, do you know Qiyun Mountain?"

"Qi Yunshan? I know!"

"How to go?"

"Go this way."

The old man pointed in one direction.

"This way?"

Lin Jue bent over and turned his head to look.

"ah……"

"I'm coming from this way."

"Then you go the other way!"

"..."

Lin Jue shook his head and smiled, thanked his father-in-law, and walked back.

When I'm in a good mood, I really don't feel sad even if I do something wrong. Instead, I laugh at my own stupidity. I almost laugh out loud when I pat my head, and my steps are still brisk.

Even though it's a little late now.

For people who don’t understand road itineraries, it’s quite normal to drive at night——

Lin Jue took a while to say goodbye to the tree demon this morning. He walked slowly and took the wrong road halfway. He was delayed for a while when he turned back, and the sun naturally set halfway.

This is the second time I have walked at night since I left home in half a month.

But this time I feel much more at ease.

Firstly, the tree demon said that this place is close to Qiyun Mountain, so even in the wilderness, there are very few rampant and ferocious monsters. Secondly, the weather is very good today, with clear skies, and there is no rain at night. It is June.

The weather has gotten hotter and hotter since then, and it won’t feel cold even if we sleep in the wilderness at night.

Finally, Lin Jue was no longer so afraid of monsters.

Sure enough, it got dark halfway along the way.

Lin Jue took advantage of the daylight before it completely dissipated, so he found a dry and flat place by the roadside, tidied the ground a little, then sat down, preparing to spend the night here.

I heard that it is unavoidable for other travelers to stay in the wilderness at night when they go on a long journey. If you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts coming to your door. However, most of the others are crowded and a group of people sleep together, while Lin Jue is alone.

I wasn't too scared at first, so I combined the hatchet and whistle stick in my hand and put them next to me, which made me feel more secure.

So Lin Jue sat on the ground, eating dry food, watching the mountains and rivers reflected in the distant glow, listening to the weeping sound of the wind and the rustling of the woods. When the time came, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

But for some reason, I couldn't sleep well tonight.

Probably because I have encountered too many fairies and ghosts recently, and I was sleeping rough in the mountains at this time, it was inevitable that I would have related dreams.

In the dream, there was a young ghost who saluted him and told him that his coffin was buried not far away. As time went by, it was exposed to the ground. Some time ago, a group of heavy soldiers passed by, and the war horse accidentally rushed out of the road and killed the coffin.

A corner of his coffin was broken, and now it was leaking from both wind and rain. I had no choice but to ask him to help repair it.

"..."

When he woke up from his dream, Lin woke up.

At this time, the dream power has not passed, and I feel that the things in the dream are real, but when the wind blows, the dream gradually dissipates.

When he opened his eyes, the surroundings were dark, and only above his head were numerous bright stars, a galaxy, and countless worlds of light and sand, creating a unique and magnificent dream in the world. Lin Jue could not tell the specific time, and could only guess that it was already the fifth watch of the night.

Already.

When I was in Shucun, I should have woken up around this time. I went to bed early last night, so I should have woken up around this time.

This is almost the coldest time of the night, so you may have woken up from the cold.

As for what happened in the dream, there is no need to worry about it.

"..."

Lin Jue didn't want to rush on his way at this time, but he had nothing to do, and he was still a little confused, so he fell back to sleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I fell asleep, the dream came again.

It was still the same ghost in the dream.

"This is not a dream, no, this is a dream, but it is not your own dream! I am really a ghost. It is a real house that was trampled by horses. I want you to help repair it. Don't take it seriously!"

It’s not easy for me to meet someone like you. If you can’t help me, I don’t know how long it will take!”

The ghost explained and begged.

In the dream, Lin Jue couldn't help but feel deeply confused.

"A person like me? What kind of person? Why did you come to me?"

"There are very few people staying overnight on this road, only a few times in this period of time. Some people have strong qi and blood, so I dare not approach them, and some people have impure qi. I think they are not worthy of trust, and although I

Fortunately, I became a ghost after death and did not reach the underworld, but my magic power is low. You must have been in contact with demons and ghosts on a daily basis, and the energy in your body is not repulsive to me, so I decided that I can also find you."

"..."

Lin Jue said nothing in the dream for a while, only feeling that it was true and false.

Things in dreams are just like that and difficult to distinguish.

"The gentleman has something strange on him, and I smell a burst of spiritual fragrance. If the gentleman agrees to repair the house for me, I will have a good thing to tell you."

"What good thing?"

"The gentleman agreed!" the ghost in the dream said, but before Lin Jue could answer, he hurriedly said, "Today, in the mountains behind, there is a mountain that looks like a hammer, and the tiger is holding a banquet in the mountain.

Invite the spirits from all over the world to practice peacefully and never make trouble, and study the newly acquired "Yin Yang Sutra" together. If you bring this object to visit, don't lose your sincerity and etiquette, the tiger will definitely treat you as a guest. I heard that every time the tiger banquet is held,

Everyone has the "Thousand Days Wine", and you will definitely have a glass of it by then. I heard that drinking it has great benefits. Many years ago, a spirit went to a banquet, came back from drinking, and stayed next to my house at night, just smelling the residual aroma of the wine and the spirit in it.

The rhyme made me feel comfortable for a long time, and a woodcutter who was cutting firewood on the mountain accidentally drank it. Not only did he die in good health, but he also lived without illness or pain in his old age."

"What Yin Yang Sutra Thousand Days Wine?"

"It's almost dawn, I can't say more. Anyway, if you help me, how can I deceive you and hurt you? No ghost can do such a thing..."

"How can I repair your building?"

"Get some wood and cloth to stuff it up, it will be weatherproof."

As soon as the words fell, the dream dispersed in a panic, and at the same time, like ordinary dreams, it gradually became blurred over time.

Lin Jue was confused for a while and then woke up.

I couldn't help but recall the things in my dream, thinking about whether they were true or false, but also trying hard to grasp those vague details, trying hard to prevent those words from running away as soon as I woke up.

But when he opened his eyes and sat up, he heard footsteps in front of him.

Lin Jue quickly became vigilant and turned to look——

Not far from the residence is the official road. At this time, in the dim darkness, with shadows of vegetation and smoke on the road, an old Taoist man was walking slowly.

Not only was the old Taoist, there was also a smaller figure following behind the old Taoist.

"!"

Lin Jue quietly held the knife beside him.

Almost at the same time, the old Taoist also saw him.

"hehe……"

The old Taoist seemed to be shocked by his reaction. He stopped and looked at him. He smiled kindly and said, "The little layman is not afraid of sleeping on the roadside in the wilderness at night. Why is he so nervous when he sees a Taoist?"

The people behind him also stopped, first looked up at him, and then followed him to look at Lin Jue.

It was a young girl, wielding a stick and carrying a satchel.

Tianhunhun met a person inexplicably on the way. The old Taoist was not afraid, but she was a little afraid, so she opened her eyes and looked at Lin Jue quietly.

"Is the Taoist a human or a ghost?"

Lin Jue thought quickly and asked rhetorically.

"Nature is human."

"Why are you traveling so late at night?"

"Midnight?"

The old Taoist couldn't help but smile again, turned around and pointed to the east: "Little layman, please take a look, it's almost dawn now."

"Um?"

Lin Jue took a look and found that it was true.

"The weather has been hot recently. Once it's past noon, Pindao is better. But Pindao, a new disciple, has a really hard time walking. But he can't walk very far just in the morning, so he has no choice but to learn

Just like the lay people who often do business here, we set out at five o'clock."

"Where are you coming from?" Lin Jue thought quickly and knew that there was no place to buy or stay in front of him.

"Of course, just like the little layman, we stayed on the roadside overnight."

"That makes sense, but if you are just on your way, you can just walk on the road ahead. Why did you stop and talk to me so much?"

"Of course I feel that I have a destiny with the little layman." The old Taoist said with a smile, "Isn't the little layman thinking the same thing? He is afraid that we are nocturnal demons, and seeing Pindao's Taoist robe, he feels that we may be destined, and wants to have more time with Pindao.

I said a few words, but I was hesitant and didn’t want to miss my fate.”

"..."

"What else does the little layman have to worry about?"

"Don't worry anymore."

Lin Jue said simply and decisively.

"Huh?"

This surprised the veteran Taoist.

The girl behind him was also obviously stunned.

"Pindao He Xianyu, whose Taoist name is Yunhe, is practicing in a nearby mountain. He is passing through here on his way back from visiting friends." The old Taoist saluted him, "This is the girl that Pindao just picked up in the village a few days ago, because

I feel that I have a destiny with her, and I plan to take her back as my disciple."

After saying that, he turned back to look at the girl.

"My name is Qingyao."

The girl understood the look in his eyes and said quickly.

"My surname is Lin Mingjue."

"We are destined to meet each other, and it is about to dawn. How about we tidy up, little layman, and let's go together?"

"What I wish for."

Lin Jue stood up, picked up things at random, put the book on his back, and was ready to leave.

Just as I took a step forward, something suddenly occurred to me.

"etc!"

Lin Jue's steps suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

The old Taoist priest looked at him strangely.

"..."

Lin Jue felt a little hard to say for a moment.

I don’t know whether what I had last night was a dream or whether there was a real ghost. How can I tell others about it?

He quickly put the book down again, tried hard to remember, and followed the location mentioned by the ghost in the dream last night, ran over to check it out——

There was actually a gap in the ground, revealing a section of the coffin board, which had been stepped on.

The hollow inside is faintly visible.

It's actually true...

"What's wrong?"

But it was a crisp female voice. The girl imitated the tone of the old Taoist priest and was staring at him curiously.

"It's a long story..."

Lin Jue then told them what happened last night.
Chapter completed!
