Chapter 265 Mr. Pan and the Fox in the Courtyard
Several people were sitting together in a small courtyard room. There was rain outside the door, and the rainwater flowed on the rain chain, making a crisp sound.
But in fact, this is winter rain. It is not as warm as spring rain, nor as soft as autumn rain. It just feels cold. If there is a stove, it may be a little comfortable, but Lin Jue has not bought charcoal yet, and the current pain on his body
There is not enough money to buy charcoal, so I have to wait for Luo Gong to come back to buy it.
However, the fox who had just been soaked in the rain walked back to the corridor, just shook his body, and then threw out a burst of water mist. Then he suddenly opened the lid of the pot as if cooking rice, and a burst of white air rose, and his body was immediately dry.
Another Mr. Pan, although he was dripping with water, he didn't seem to care. He just sat and explained to Lin Jue:
"Although I was the God of the Weishui River in the past, and the Weishui River seemed to be a big river and flowed through the capital, how many generals around the emperor really held military power?
"The only fault of the Weishui River is that it flows outside the capital.
"I have never been able to make decisions.
"The world will change in the future, and I will no longer be able to be the master.
"Everyone in the world scolds me, but it doesn't work, but I'm just a river god sealed in the sky, so what can I do?
"Later, a dragon came to the Weishui River. It didn't seem to be anything special, but it had a good background. The reason why he didn't show anything extraordinary was just waiting for the opportunity.
"As time went by, maybe because the time he was waiting for was getting closer, or maybe because he couldn't help but be greedy, he became more and more courageous, causing more and more chaos on the Weishui River, and he also coveted this river more and more.
Weishui River.
"finally……
"Alas, I accidentally fell victim to the plan of him and his old turtle named Green Water Taoist.
"..."
Mr. Pan did not explain in detail how he was killed by the Dragon King and the Green Water Fairy. Perhaps he couldn't bear to say it, so he just sighed alone.
At this time, he didn't seem to have a bad temper.
Lin Jue also sat nearby and listened silently.
I don’t know how true or false what he said is, but it makes some sense if you think about it carefully.
Regardless of these things, he is really pitiful.
As the god of a big river, it's okay to be harmed by monsters, but it's not just a dragon king who wants to harm him or plot against him?
Then the Lord of Xiyue Prefecture has a higher status than the God of the Weishui River. At this time when the world is about to change, marrying his most capable adopted daughter to him is not an attempt to gain authority over the Weishui River?
Thinking about it now, Qin Nu chased the third senior brother all over the world. How could she be as weak and pitiful as she showed that night?
The Lord of Xiyue Mansion asked her to go to Weishui River just to seize power.
The Taoist thinks.
The fox sat quietly next to him.
Lin Jue quickly shook his head and threw away his distracting thoughts. He didn't think about these things and just asked again: "Then why did I turn into this Pan Gong and come here again?"
"To be honest, Mr. Pan was a fisherman by the river. He lived in poverty and loved to drink. He often exchanged fishing for wine money. I have heard some strange stories in the world. There are often underwater dragon kings, water gods and even water ghosts.
I made friends with a Taoist who loved drinking. I happened to be depressed myself, so I followed the example in the story and went ashore to make friends with him and talk to each other about our sorrows.
"He bought wine and drank with me, and I used my magical power to help him catch more fish.
"As time went by, we gradually developed some friendship."
The fox lowered his head and licked the hair on his heart. When he heard this story, he also raised his head and stared at Pan Gong.
Fan Tianshi next to him had been sitting silently, but when he heard this, a hint of vague fascination flashed in his eyes.
Although this "god" imitated the things in the stories about gods and ghosts in the world, if he did it, it was another story about gods and ghosts that happened by the Weishui River.
"Heavenly Masters" also yearn for such divine things.
Pan Gong paused and sighed:
"However, when the Dragon King tried to murder me, the water level on the Weishui River rose sharply. Pan Gong, like me, died at the hands of this monster. We all had the same unwillingness, not to mention that there was another person in his family.
My mother wanted to take care of her, so we made an appointment. He would reincarnate, and I would borrow his body and go ashore to look for opportunities for revenge, and also take care of my mother for him.
"So I borrowed his body and name, turned into Pan Gong, and entered Juxian Mansion.
"That's okay. I used to be the God of the River Weishui, but in fact I couldn't do anything and didn't dare to say anything. Now that I died, after landing on the shore, I finally still have some of my original magic power, so it's okay.
Let the people on the shore know how the water has risen and receded, and how the floods are, and they are better than before."
"That's it." Lin Jue nodded and said, "Then how did Mr. Pan know that the Dragon King was indeed eliminated by me?"
"There is a flavor of him in the real house."
"..."
Lin Jue thought for a moment, it must be the reason for the dragon horn.
However, at this time, Mr. Pan had already stood up.
When Lin Jue welcomed him into the house before, he had bowed to Lin Jue in the heavy rain. Now that he was talking about this, his expression became excited again and he wanted to kneel to Lin Jue again.
Lin Jue naturally stopped him.
But he stopped his knees, but didn't block his mouth.
"Revenge for me is a great kindness. From now on, if you have anything to do with me in this world, you can go through fire and water, or even die!"
"..."
Lin Jue just smiled after hearing this and changed the subject: "Your nose is quite good."
"My nose wasn't working properly, thanks to the rain and vapor."
"I see." Lin Jue nodded, "I really have one thing I want to ask you."
"Don't dare, don't dare, just ask the real person."
"I have a junior sister who, like me, practices Yin and Yang spiritual methods, but her talent is above the Five Elements. I have always wanted to find an orthodox Five Elements spiritual method for her. Where can I find it?"
"This... although I have been a god for hundreds of years, I have never practiced Taoism like the Taoists of the Spiritual Method Sect. I have heard of the words Five Elements Spiritual Method, but I don't know the truth in it." Mr. Pan was embarrassed and ashamed.
, "There are a few casual cultivators in Juxian Mansion. I know that they practice the Five Elements Spiritual Method, but I don't know where they come from, and I don't know if it is orthodox or not. They have never been willing to pass it on to others."
"Um……"
Lin Jue also thought for a moment.
It doesn't matter whether it is orthodox or not, as long as it is the Five Elements Spiritual Method, read it yourself and understand it a little, and the orthodox Five Elements Spiritual Method will naturally appear in the ancient books.
But if others don't want it, he can't force it.
When Pan Gong saw this, he was even more ashamed.
This is the benefactor who avenged his death. Just now, he asked him to ask if he had anything to do. Now that others have really asked him, he can't help him...
If I can't repay my kindness, I might as well die again!
"That's right! Although the Five Elements Spiritual Technique is an orthodox practice method, it is not extremely rare in itself. There must be relevant ancient books in the Sutra Collection Pavilion of Juxian Mansion, but I don't know which attic it is in!" Pan Gong thought of this.
Then he hurriedly spoke, "The real person has just arrived at the Juxian Mansion and may not be able to enter yet, but I got a gold brand. I'll go look for it for the real person."
"Can I borrow it?"
"I'll bring it out word for word!" Mr. Pan said without hesitation.
Fan Tianshi next to him had been sitting upright, listening to them silently and calmly like a living god, but now he couldn't help it anymore——
At first, he was a little surprised to see the bad-tempered Mr. Pan being so respectful to Lin Jue, but he also thought it was reasonable. He just had a little more respect for Mr. Pan's character. Until he saw that he was so warm to Lin Jue, he didn't know why.
, but he suddenly became a little flustered.
Don't let the two of them isolate themselves by then.
"Although I don't practice the Five Elements Spiritual Dharma, I can still help fellow Taoists!" Master Fan Tian said.
"Thank you both." Lin Jue refused with a smile, "I'd better forget this stupid method."
Looking at the state of Juxian Mansion now, if they both can get a gold medal so quickly, how much time can I spend?
Maybe it will be faster than them memorizing it.
Don't let them memorize it wrong and get themselves involved.
Then we chatted for a while here.
The water on Pan Gong's body finally dripped away and flowed all over the floor in the main room. The floor was probably soaked.
Lin Jue held the seal and waved his hand, and the accumulated water on the ground immediately condensed into a line and flew into the rain curtain outside. He accidentally rubbed the rain chain, causing it to shake uncontrollably and making another crisp clanking sound.
"It's getting late. I'm a newbie here. I'm very poor and have nothing to entertain guests. You two should go back and rest."
"Farewell."
"Resign."
"By the way, there is a little devil here. It has a habit of asking people for directions in its dreams at night. I wanted to persuade it not to do this, but it couldn't understand it, so I had to tell you two." Lin Jue said to you.
Then they warned, "If you encounter it, don't make things difficult for it."
"Fellow Taoist, don't worry."
"By the way, real person——"
Pan Gong had already stood up, but he suddenly remembered and said to him:
"This house has not been inhabited for a long time, and there are two foxes. They are probably hiding in the yard where real people live. They often come out to write graffiti, or show up and wander around in the morning and dusk. It is very annoying. I saw it on my way back just now.
They wrote two more lines of words on the wall outside. How about I find these two foxes on behalf of the real person and get rid of them? So as not to disturb the real person's Qing Dynasty!"
When Master Fan heard this, he also looked at Lin Jue.
"Oh?" Lin Jue asked curiously, "What do they say?"
"What about looking at mountains and rivers and sitting alone...listening to the wind and rain and sleeping peacefully...They often write about this kind of thing..."
"Huh?"
Lin Jue was a little surprised——
Isn’t this the sentence I read this afternoon?
Then he shook his head and smiled.
"Forget it, since this fox is not harmful to anyone, and ordinary people won't get rid of them easily, why should we get rid of them?"
"There is a difference between shemales and monsters after all."
"Although there are differences, there are also good and evil, and they all have a human heart. Not all monsters are like that of the Dragon King." Lin Jue said and asked again, "Which one came first, or they?
Coming?"
"They were already there when I came," Pan Gong said.
"When Pindao came, they were already there, but they have become more active in the past year." Fan Tianshi also said.
"Look, they came here first. If we get rid of them because of this trivial matter, then who are the monsters?" Lin Jue waved his hand, "Let's wait until they make trouble."
"Pindao thinks so too." Fan Tianshi agreed at the right time, "Although these two do some mischief, they do what they want. Besides, they have been here for so long and have never harmed anyone. They have done a lot of painting. If you think about it, there are quite a lot of things.
Distinguish elegance."
Pan Gong couldn't say anything, so he had to leave.
The rain just stopped.
Lin Jue went out to take a look at dusk and saw these two lines of writing on a wall——
Sitting alone looking at the mountains and water, listening to the wind and rain and falling asleep.
They must have heard me chanting it, and on a whim, I wrote it on the wall.
"Oh……"
It's really a bit like those fox monsters in the story.
Lin Jue smiled and walked back to the small courtyard.
After thinking for a while, he stopped walking in the courtyard and said to the fox in the courtyard:
"I don't know where you are. Since you came here first, I will not drive you away. From now on, the second floor of this attic will be your residence. We will follow the example of ordinary people and divide the first floor into two equal parts.
"It's just that we have to agree on three chapters:
"Taoists also need to sleep peacefully. I will not easily disturb you, and you must not disturb me at night;
"Taoists have more things to do, so you are not allowed to enter or pry into our bedrooms and quiet rooms;
"Everyone has their own privacy. I don't care about you, and you can't listen to our conversation. If you accidentally overhear it, don't spread it to the outside world.
"I'm a poor Taoist, Lin Jue, please be polite first."
Lin Jue then returned to the house and closed the door.
Without thinking of what he had said before, "He just arrived here and was penniless," Fan Tianshi brought him charcoal fire, wine, vegetables, and dried orange fruits. Pan Gong also brought him some strips of bacon.
I never thought that the fox would also be grateful——
At this time, Lin felt poor and had no money left. He only bought more than a pound of rice from the old farmer who came to the door early in the morning and put it at home. However, after eating for several days, he didn't lose any rice.
In a few days, it was the day that Wu Lingshi said that the Crown Prince would come to Juxian Mansion.
The Juxian Mansion official office next door became obviously lively.
Chapter completed!
