"I think most of the Taoist priests during the day have righteousness and are righteous people. There is one of them who has a divine light hidden in his body. He is probably not ordinary."

The middle-aged man sat opposite Lin Jue, separated by a night watch light, and said casually.

Although there are monsters in the north, Lin Jue was able to catch up with the person in front of him. It was night and rainy outside, so there was no point in hurrying, so he just chatted with him calmly.

"You can see all this at a glance. It doesn't seem to be ordinary."

"Haha, you are a young Taoist priest. Didn't you see that I am not ordinary at the first sight? Why do you test it now?" The middle-aged man laughed, "You are a Taoist priest, and you brought a fox with you in the middle of the night.

Two stone horses are running after you with a roar, and they are heading to the north where the monsters just made trouble. Is it normal?"

"That makes sense." Lin Jue nodded, thinking so, "I haven't asked you your name yet."

"My last name was Chen, and I was named Xiangli."

"That's Mr. Chen." Lin Jue said, "What else can Mr. Chen see?"

"I can also see that your five qi are also pure, but you have too many thoughts. This is reflected in your two qi of water and earth: both qi are considered pure, but they have a different color, which shows that you are smart.

You are wise and honest, but you don't do it well enough." This man named Chen Xiangli really didn't hide it at all and said it bluntly, "At this time, you have both thoughts and calculations in your heart."

"Um?"

Lin Jue frowned and sat up slightly.

On the one hand, it is because he knows that the first prerequisite for people who can see the five qi of people, whether they are spirits or gods, is that their own five qi must be relatively pure.

On the other hand, it's because this person is right.

His thoughts were probably between the northwest and the northeast, and the calculation he was talking about probably meant that after seeing him, he saw that he was extraordinary and wanted to ask him about the two demon kings in the north.

I knew in my heart that this person was probably not some evil monster.

But this scene at this moment, sheltering from the rain overnight in a village temple, and an unusual encounter, reminded him of the night he first saw Bufan at the Wang Family Ancestral Hall in Hengcun a few years ago.

Counting the past few years, both the world and myself have undergone earth-shaking changes.

And I never saw that monster again.

Just like the village and the temple in the village tonight, the unknown "Mr. Chen" he met, and most of the spirits he met along the way, only had brief encounters and relationships.

Then I heard the man in front of me laugh and say:

"Haha, it's just human nature! He's not a dead person, nor a saint. Who doesn't have thoughts in his heart?

Who doesn’t have their own thoughts in their heart? It’s so normal.”

"Mr. Chen has some insights."

"I can't call it that, it's just that I have lived a long time." Chen Gong shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly, as if he were an ordinary person. "The longer you live, the more you talk. The longer you stay alone, the more boring you become. So every day

Whenever I meet someone staying here for the night, as long as they are interesting people, I will definitely come out and talk to them. Just don’t be offended because I talk too much.”

"Then am I also an interesting person?"

"Why don't you count it?" Chen Gong said, and then glanced at the fox beside him, "You have pure five qi and profound Taoism. You ride on an egret, followed by a stone horse, and the fox you bring with you is not ordinary. You rush from the capital to the north.

If you go, you must be exorcising demons. The worries and fears in your heart are also related to the matter of exterminating demons. If you cannot be called an interesting person, then the world will be full of mediocre people."

Lin Jue was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Mr. Chen really has extraordinary vision, and every sentence he said is correct."

"I just happen to have this ability."

"What advice does Mr. Chen have?"

"Really? This is absolutely out of the question!" Chen Gong handed over his hand, "I just live longer and see more.

But in fact, his vision is limited, and he is not a person of great wisdom."

Lin Jue couldn't help but feel a little interested:

"What is great wisdom?"

"I don't know, as I said, neither do I." Mr. Chen laughed, "But I know that since ancient times, those who are smart and think a lot about big things will mostly achieve success, but it is difficult for them to achieve great things. Those who achieve great things.

They tend to have few but firm ideas in their minds. They have their own ideas in their hearts and often make simple decisions based on them. Once made,

Just be firm and unswerving. As for the difficulties and details that follow, these are the things that should be solved with wisdom and wisdom."

Mr. Chen paused for a moment, with a smile on his face and thoughtful eyes, as if he was also interested:

"In my opinion, it's probably like a strategy: anything that sounds amazing, or that embodies amazing wisdom and calculation, is just a small plan, but any real big plan or plan is often very ordinary.

It doesn’t sound exciting, and it might even be summed up in one sentence.”

"Does Mr. Chen want to say that the great truth is as simple as simplicity and great wisdom as foolishness?"

"That's it! That's it!" Mr. Chen smiled and patted his leg, "It's a pity that there is no wine or meat today, otherwise I would have talked with you all night long!"

"Who said there isn't one?"

Lin Jue smiled slightly, opened the cloth bag, and took out a pot of rice wine and some dried meat.

So the two gathered the firewood that Director Jiang and his party had left by the wall during the day, lit the fire, heated rice wine, roasted dried meat, chatted freely, and enjoyed this short-lived fate.

It was only during this conversation that I realized that the two of us were very much in tune with each other.

This Mr. Chen looks like a middle-aged man, but he said that he has lived a long time. His vision is indeed not broad, but it is very profound. Just like he can tell at a glance that Jiang Daochang and his party are just like Lin Jue, they have no understanding of the history or present of the world.

Nowadays, people and things have their own opinions, and these opinions are often to the point.

And older people always have something to leave to future generations.

To Lin Jue's surprise, he originally wanted to know about the Leopard King and the Queen Mother of the East from this person, but he didn't get it later. However, chatting with him made his thoughts more firm.

It seems unnecessary to ask the Leopard King and the Queen Mother of the East to judge which one is more worth going, which one is more dangerous and which one is easier.

Thinking about it, I find it interesting that I passed by Qingyan County and went to ask the "Empress of Yaohua" for advice. The starting point was good, and the "Empress of Yaohua" reminded me, which was also a good intention. But I didn't think so much originally.

I am not a person who likes to think, but because of that reminder, I have many more thoughts. I am worried about blessings and misfortunes, and I am also afraid of safety and choosing the wrong thing. It is a bit funny to think about it.

Unknowingly, we talked all night long.

After all the wine was drunk and the meat was finished, the fox lay beside him and fell asleep with his eyes narrowed.

A hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon.

But the man stood up and said to him:

"I have to go now."

Lin Jue also stood up and said goodbye to him.

I say goodbye by fate, but I know in my heart that there is a high probability that I will only have this side of fate in my life.

I saw the man walking out the door, and when he reached the ceremonial gate of the village temple, a cockcrow happened to be heard in the village, and the man immediately stood still, as if frozen.

Lin Jue went over to take a look and saw a statue standing there, with a middle-aged face, black clothes, and the cuffs around his mouth smelling of oil and alcohol. Only then did he realize that it was a statue of a judge in the village temple.

"No wonder—."

No wonder he has a sharp eye and unique insights.

The sky outside has brightened and cleared up.

Lin Jue went back to clean up the remains of the fire in the temple, woke up the fox, and picked up the small bag again.

"I'm leaving too, Mr. Chen."

Lin Jue said goodbye to him and walked out of the temple.

It was an interesting encounter, but that's all.

"As soon as an egret neighed, the Taoist took advantage of the wind and flew away.

In the middle of the morning, on the official road near Qinglian County, someone was beating horses and galloping.

The rumble of horse hooves shattered the mud pit.

At first, a man was riding a tall horse with a silver spear and a long knife hanging on it. As he was galloping, he looked up and saw an egret flapping its wings slowly flying past in the clouds.

The egret landed on the branches of the woods, and the horse team stopped on the road.

Luo Gong walked in the front, followed by Wan Xinrong, Pan Gong, Taoist Priest and others, and behind them there were some strange people and people with swords and swords.

When Wan Xinrong and others saw the egret, they raised their hands and saluted.

"Zhenren Lin."

The strangers and people behind him had stopped for no apparent reason. When they saw this scene, they all looked puzzled, but they also raised their hands and saluted toward the tree.

But I never thought that Lin Zhenren's voice could actually be heard from the back of the egret in the treetop:

"Thank you all for coming with me to slay the demon."

When everyone heard this, their faces became even more strange.

Immediately, some people stretched their necks and looked at the back of the egret, while others raised their hands and asked loudly:

"I heard from Lin Zhenren's guardian that Lin Zhenren seems to be planning to go to the northwest to kill King Jinhua first. Is this true?"

"nature."

A voice came from the crane's back, and the voice was calm.

Someone below immediately looked disappointed.

Some people have heard about the ferocity and cruelty of the Leopard King of the Northwest, and the previous losses of strange people and strangers in the Juxian Mansion, and feel that it is dangerous. Some people think that the Immortality Sect of the Queen Mother of the East is recruiting talents in Yunmeng County, so they follow Zhenren Lin there to say

Maybe you can get an "Order of Immortality". Some people think that there are enough strange people going to the northwest to confront the Leopard King again, and they are not inferior to themselves. On the contrary, there are relatively fewer people going to the northeast, so

I and others should go to the Northeast.

These are all normal thoughts.

"If you don't want to, you can leave." A voice came from the egret's back. "I don't know when the leopard king will come out of the mountain again and rob people again. I will not go with you and go ahead. If you want to follow me,

Let’s go together to find the Leopard King. I’ll wait for you in the Leopard Forest.”

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the egret lightly kicked off the treetops, spread its wings, and the treetops swayed, but the egret was already in the sky.

Everyone below was talking a lot.

Some people said they saw Lin Zhenren sitting on the back of an egret, some discussed the safety of going to the northwest, and some discussed which side to go to.

"thorough!"

Luo Gong's precious horse suddenly started galloping again.

Behind him, Wan Xinrong, Taoist Priest, Pan Gong and others all followed without hesitation, including those Jianghu warriors who also followed Luo Gong.

"That's all! What are you afraid of! Master Lin dares to go to the Leopard Forest alone to explore the way for us. What else do we have to be afraid of?"

"I heard that Lin Zhenren was indifferent to fame and wealth, but the imperial court gave rewards, and most of them were distributed to others! Those warriors also said that the people who followed Zhenren Lin to protect the Tao could always get most of the treasure, which was not worth the money.

Is it the longevity order that the Queen Mother may not get?"

"rational!"
Chapter completed!
