"Are you ready?"

"The little one is here."

White smoke came out of the wood carving, turning into a big-headed ghost.

The silver-eating ghost looked at Lin Jue expectantly and touched its belly. It was hungry, but it looked around and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"I'm not here to treat you to dinner today. I've been building weapons in the mountains some time ago and haven't returned to the capital to make money. The ten taels you ate before are already my last ten taels." Lin Jue said to the Silver-eating Ghost.

He said, "But I asked you to come out today because I want to ask for your help so that I can earn money for this meal."

"Me? Help? How can I help?"

"I have something to ask you."

"Excuse me, real person!"

"What can women's blood and essence be used for in alchemy?" Lin Jue asked directly.

The Silver-eating Ghost also answered directly: "If it's human essence and blood, it has many uses. If it's just a woman's essence and blood, it won't have many uses. It's just taking yin to replenish yang, or using yin to replenish yin."

It's pretty much the same as "refuting the seniors".

"What if it's in the capital?"

"Capital?" The fox next to him stretched out his paws to poke at it again. The silver-eating ghost shrank his neck and answered while avoiding, "Whether it's taking yin to supplement yang, or using yin to supplement yin, in a busy place like the capital, isn't it just right?"

Where is it most useful? If you use yin to replenish yang, you can at least make a man strong and invincible. If you use yin to replenish yin, you can make yourself beautiful and youthful for a long time."

Lin Jue suddenly frowned when he heard this.

It seemed like I had vaguely caught something.

Lin Jue thought for a moment and continued to ask: "But what if it has something to do with Shi Shi?"

"Ah? It has something to do with Xiao Xiao?" Shi Yin Gui was shocked.

"I once asked Ji Xian about this matter, and Ji Xian gave him a poem. In addition to mentioning the capital, the country, and alchemy, this poem was also written when we asked the Corpse Tiger King about gathering silver on Fuqiu Peak.

The original poem was given by an immortal." Lin Jue said, "There must be a profound meaning in it."

"Zhenren, Zhenren are joking, right? The little one has been staying in this wood carving, how could it be related to the little one!"

"That's not what I mean. I mean it can be related."

"That's impossible! Real people don't know. Even the most powerful Ji Immortals are not always accurate in what they say. The biggest reason why they write Ji poems is because their words are not accurate. When the time comes, others will question them.

They just say the reason is that the person who asked the question misunderstood."

The silver-eating ghost breathed a sigh of relief and even laughed: "You are not a gold-eating ghost, so how can you have anything to do with any woman or her essence and blood? Hahahaha...haha...ha...ha..."

Lin Jue suddenly looked at him, thoughtfully.

Silver Eater's smile gradually stiffened, his laughter gradually slowed down, and stopped completely.

I saw it opened its eyes wide and looked serious. After avoiding the fox's paw, it stood on the table and saluted Lin Jue solemnly:

"What I know as a kid is that the gold-swallowing ghost swallows ten taels of gold every day, and the elixir of spitting is often called the beauty-preserving elixir, but this elixir actually not only has the effect of rejuvenating the appearance.

"If a woman eats it, if she is a virgin, her youth will remain and her appearance will not diminish, but she must keep eating it. If she is not a virgin, she must take it with other elixirs to maintain her appearance. Otherwise, the effect will be to help

A baby boy was born.

"If a man eats it, and if he is a virgin, he will have infinite strength and be indestructible. If not, he will be indestructible and a baby boy will be born.

"You have to keep eating."

After the silver-eating ghost finished speaking, he looked at him.

"I see."

Lin Jue murmured to himself.

Just now when the silver-eating ghost talked about "replenishing yin with yin, making people beautiful and lasting youth", he thought of the legendary gold-eating ghost.

If this is the case, the intention of "refuting the seniors" in using this poem is to remind them that the source of the chaos in the capital at this time is the same as the original silver-eating ghost, one of the three ghosts of alchemy.

"So, the problem is caused by the elixir taken together with the Zhuyan Dan?"

"No." Shi Yin Gui said, "I once told the real person the formula of the Beauty Pill. Just like the Lingyuan Pill, in addition to being spit out by us, the Beauty Pill also has its own formula that can be refined. And there are

equally important medicine

The material is the Yinhua of the human world. It must be collected in prosperous places in the human world during the lunar months and cloudy days every year, and one must have advanced picking skills. If not, it will be difficult to obtain. However, it can be obtained from the essence and blood of a woman.

extracted from it.”

"It means there are no more gold-eating ghosts in the capital?"

"I don't know..."

When he said this, this timid kid also showed some emotion about the years and worldly affairs.

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome, really."

The silver-eating ghost returned to the wood carving.

Lin Jue was sitting here, looking thoughtful.

In the past, when Second Senior Brother talked about silver-eating ghosts, he also talked about gold-eating ghosts and told such an interesting story——

Twenty years ago, the late emperor favored a noble concubine and was addicted to women, unable to extricate himself. At that time, he sent strange people from the Juxian Mansion to the four seas to find the gold-swallowing ghost.

Later, after the current emperor succeeded to the throne, he was also addicted to women. At that time, the imperial concubine was already quite old, but he occupied the imperial concubine. This became a scandal in the dynasty and was despised by civil and military officials. Even now, the world

There was chaos, and many people who rebelled in the north also used this incident to criticize the current emperor and seek justice for their rebellion.

They were in Fuqiu Peak at that time, far away from the capital, so naturally they couldn't figure out whether this matter was true or not. But now that Lin Jue is in the capital, isn't it easy to know whether this is true or not?

If it's true...

It may be that they did not find the Gold-Swallowing Ghost at that time, but found the formula for the Beauty Pill.

Lin Jue thought for a while and then gave up.

Then he took out the ancient book and opened it to read.

"Wow..."

Encouraging you to be cheerful is one of Beichen's four methods.

The so-called Beichen Four Methods: to persuade you to frown, to encourage you to be cheerful, to talk nonsense, to recite poems and rhymes, to have abdominal cramps and diarrhea. They were created by Beichen Master in his spare time, and were originally used to tease his disciples. He did not take it seriously, but unexpectedly

After it spread, it became very popular and was often used by Taoists to tease people and show their magic power.

The first three all have the effect of blocking the chanting of mantras.

This is to encourage you to be cheerful.

I urge you to frown, I urge you to be cheerful, and there is another person who is called both gibberish and reciting poems and poems, as well as abdominal colic and diarrhea...

I don't know why that "nonsense" is also called "poetry and poetry singing". Is it because people these days have fallen into the trap of reciting poems while talking nonsense, or is it because Beichen despises these literati and thinks they recite poems?

Is singing Fu the same as talking nonsense?

"I have mastered two of Beichen's four methods. It seems that I am destined to be a master of Beichen."

Lin Jue suddenly smiled and thought to himself.

But it seems that I got the two mildest ones.

Then he pinched the paper and listened carefully.

The two spells are quite similar. Most of the mysteries of the spells are similar. The only difference is the emotion.

This emotion is also the most important.

Speaking of which, Lin Jue actually likes this method of persuading you to frown. It has unexpected effects at critical moments, and it can also be used to tease people.

I don't know whether it was due to the influence of the Seventh Senior Brother or the influence of Flower Blooming Moment, but Lin Jue became more and more fond of such spells that could be used for performances, to please others, and for fighting.

However, if you want to fight, learning one skill is enough.

Just learning this kind of magic is actually to understand an emotion and catch a hint of mystery. It may not necessarily be of much help to Taoism or cultivation, but it will gain more or less anyway.

Moreover, after learning this technique, if someone tries to persuade him to be cheerful in the future, he will naturally be able to resist.

Of course, you can also pretend to listen.

Before I knew it, it was already half of the night.

When Lin Jue let go of the page and opened his eyes, he realized it carefully and realized that it was almost dawn.

He sat comfortably on the head of the bed, with two pillows behind his back and a bearskin blanket covering his body. The fox also lay on the bearskin blanket, curled up into a circle, but did not sleep, but opened his eyes.

Staring at him directly with a pair of eyes.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Lin Jue asked, "Didn't you light the night watch lamp?"

"story!"

The fox stared straight at him.

"You waited all night just to hear a story?"

"story!"

"Okay, I'll tell you."

Lin Jue happened to have been thinking, and he felt that his mind was surprisingly clear now, and he was not sleepy at all, so he leaned on the bedside and said leisurely to it:

"Legend has it that there is a kind of fairy in the sky called Weaver Girl, also called Zhiji Girl. People in the world have to wear clothes, and the gods in the sky also need to wear clothes. The clothes worn by the gods in the sky are very comfortable, and they may be longer than those on your body.

The body hair is even more comfortable, it is made of clouds."

"The fox in the world wears no clothes!"

"Because foxes have fur." ​​Lin Jue said patiently, "The fur is already very comfortable, and there is no need to wear clothes."

"Cats don't wear them either!"

"Cats have fur too."

"The fox gives you clouds! Make clothes!"

"Then you still owe some Tao Xing."

"Fox! The fur will fall out! You make clothes!"

"That's not necessary."

"Cat hair!"

"No need."

"..." Fox thought for a moment, "Story!"

"Then don't interrupt me." Lin Jue said, "This kind of cloth woven from clouds is called Yunjin Cloth, and the clothes made of it are called Yunjin Tianyi..."

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

…

A few days later, a street stall.

A plate of cherry pizza, a few mutton steamed buns, several plates of seasonal snacks and desserts, and milk-sweet white wine in bamboo tubes, the two senior brothers and sisters sat in the corner with Master Fan Tianshi.

There were people around talking about the recent murders of women in the capital, which had caused panic. Although everyone said that these women were murdered after going to the mountains outside the city to worship evil gods, it still frightened many timid women at night.

Don't dare to get up alone at night.

I heard that Lin Zhenren and the famous Fan Tianshi, who had easily subdued two stone horses on the street before, were also alarmed by this incident.

In order to restore peace to the capital and reassure the people, Master Lin and Master Fan decided to check the bodies of the women tomorrow, saying that they could find the monsters who killed them through the women's bodies.

As for how to find it, it is a matter of magic.

Master Lin is certainly not a mortal, and Master Fan Tianshi is also a god. Gods naturally have their own abilities.

Is there anything in this world that gods can't do?

The people in the capital have been worried for a long time, but now they can finally feel at ease. Naturally, this matter spread very quickly and widely.

According to rumors, Lin Zhenren and Fan Tianshi were sitting together at this time, one of them was drinking milk and sweet white wine, and the other was nibbling on the cherry bilo. Only the junior sister had dessert in her mouth, grabbing the steamed bun in her left hand, and still holding it in her right hand.

A glass of milky sweet white wine and a lot of eating and drinking.

"It's true..."

Fan Tianshi said helplessly: "The imperial concubine's surname is Wen. She is now over fifty years old. She has good looks and is still at her most beautiful age. She is even more charming than when she was young."

His voice was not deliberately lowered, but it was not loud either. It was kept at a suitable volume so that more people would not hear it and it would not make others think that the dignified Master Fan Tianshi was still whispering.

"His Majesty has been focusing on Concubine Wen in the past few years. Like the late emperor, he rarely even goes to court." Fan Tianshi said, "He is just a human being. He has a body of flesh and blood and eats whole grains. No matter how beautiful he is,

How can the skills withstand the wind and frost of time? I don’t know how Concubine Wen is doing these days. Anyway, His Majesty held a big draft last year and selected many beauties to enter the palace, and also made several concubines."

"How old is your Majesty now?"

"I'm over seventy years old."

"Can your body handle the food?"

"I'm afraid only the eunuchs who keep watch at night know about this." Fan Tianshi looked at him, "If my fellow Taoist wants to clear up his curiosity, I can also find someone to ask."

"Fellow Daoist Fan has so many connections!" Lin Jue sighed sincerely.

"Fellow Taoist made fun of me..."

"I'm afraid this kind of thing will be recorded in the history books."

"That's for sure." Fan Tianshi shook his head and said, "I just don't know if future generations will read it as a curiosity story or as official history."

"Maybe it's a fairy tale."

"Stories about gods and monsters?" Fan Tianshi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "That's true. It's really extraordinary to still look like a young woman in her fifties. Your Majesty has raised so many alchemists. Most future generations will really think that it is alchemy."

The efficacy of medicine.”

"Does Concubine Wen have a queen?"

"Not with the late emperor, but with the current majesty, there are two princesses, and there has never been a prince."

"The princess is pretty good too..."

Lin Jue handed the buns to feed the fox, with a cold face and thoughtful eyes.

I have walked quite far along the way, but it was not until I came to the capital, until this moment, that I personally came into contact with these emperor affairs that may directly affect the change of dynasty. It sounded strange, and it seemed that I had heard many similar stories.
