Chapter 454: Show my true intentions with your heart
Zhenjian Palace is still crowded with people and very lively.
Unlike a few years ago, in recent years, the business people in the capital and nearby have completely seen the business opportunities brought by the bustling Zhenjian Palace. Therefore, at the foot of Zhenjian Palace, some houses and shops were built on both sides of the road, where you can eat, stay, drink tea and drink. Every morning, there are vendors who set up stalls and sell everything under Zhenjian Palace, and they have become a temple fair that is held every day.
Unlike the Star Gazing Palace in the city, it is more lively now and there is no need to pay the heavier and heavier tax on entering the city.
The Zhenjian Palace is never as good as the Star Gazing Palace, and they are asked to pay the stall fee.
Therefore, many of the vendors outside the Star Gazing Palace in the city have also moved here.
The back mountain of Zhenjian Palace is quiet in a mess.
A pond was dug here, full of lotus flowers, a few wastelands were bloomed, fruit trees and vegetables were planted, and a few small houses were built to store miscellaneous items and a pavilion for drinking tea and enjoying flowers.
Now this season is late summer and early autumn, and there are also a few lotus flowers in the pond, standing proudly among the green lotus leaves, swaying with the wind.
Lin Jue, Taoist Master Jiang, Taoist Master Qingxuan and Junior Brother Ma cooked tea here to enjoy the flowers.
The tea nitrogen box is filled with fragrance.
There is wind at the foot of the mountain today, and the wind is very strong, blowing the lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the pond shaking randomly, and the petals are almost blown off. Not only does it not affect the viewing, but it adds a little more freedom and unrestrainedness.
"This pond was originally used to grow lotus roots and raise fish, which is good for roots and fishing. Unexpectedly, the lotus flowers bloomed in summer that year were quite beautiful. After we thought the Taoist priests in the middle of the temple, they simply worked hard and built a pavilion by the pond to drink tea and appreciate flowers, and practice painting in the fresh air." Taoist priest Qingxuan said with a smile, "It's a pity that fellow Taoist came late.
The flowering period has passed."
"Elegant."
Lin Jue gave an evaluation and continued to look around.
How could he not recognize him when practicing in Guizhou Mountain? In addition to the crops in the fields, the miscellaneous trees on both sides are mostly turtledove trees, wild loquats and ice powder fruit trees.
It seems that these Taoist priests never forgot after eating a few desserts they made on the mountain.
"How is Fellow Daoist Liu's injury?" Master Jiang asked, "It's much better." Lin Jue said, "She has a high Taoist skills and high skills, and she has improved very quickly."
"It turns out that the tiger demon is actually the fragment of the remnant soul of the corpse tiger king. Fellow Daoist Qingyao didn't tell us. If fellow Taoist Qingxuan raised his glass, "This is our fault. I also want to thank fellow Taoist Lin and fellow Taoist Qingyao for helping us again."
"Thank you my junior sister." Lin Jue shook his head, "That corpse tiger king has some skills."
"Now in this day and age, most of the monsters who become spirits have good skills in saving their lives, otherwise they would not have gone far." Taoist Master Qingxuan said, "On the contrary, people are much worse."
"But it's people who are prosperous."
"People often protect something else."
"What Brother Dao said is quite meaningful."
"Nonsense, nonsense." Taoist Master Qingxuan smiled, "That fellow Taoist is now with Yushan——"
"The old grievances of the master have been in harmony for a long time. I thought it was the matter of our predecessors. In our generation, we could resolve it. Now I think there is a reason for this dissonance." Lin Jue smiled and did not hide it in front of these old acquaintances. "There was a couple of days ago and I asked him to make peace with me. It should be Yushan who found him."
"What do you say with a fellow Taoist?"
"I didn't say much. My junior sister didn't care. I vented my anger and ignored me. Let them practice Taoism and heal their own wounds. Anyway, I can't afford that money."
"Haha, fellow Taoist temperament-."
"A few days ago, a Taoist priest came over in Yushan. It was a Taoist priest who went to Modu Mountain with him. He also wanted to ask Brother Qingxuan to make peace." Taoist Jiang said lightly, "There are probably two factions in Yushan. Those who have been to Modu Mountain to guard the city and protect the people were rescued by fellow Taoists, and their friendship with Taoists was even greater. However, the old lady in Yushan was old,
It's hard to unify opinions."
"Oh? What did Brother Taoist say?" Lin Jue looked at Taoist Qingxuan.
"Although Brother Dao is willing to do a good thing, he is also angry. He thought about it with your wishes, but he did not agree." Taoist Jiang lowered his head to pour tea.
"There are orders of acquaintances and the depth of friendship." Taoist Master Qingxuan said with a smile.
Lin Jue smiled and said nothing.
Sitting here to drink tea, the wind makes people unable to open their eyes, but the lotus leaves and lotus flowers swaying wildly is a grand scene, but it also makes people reluctant to leave.
"In addition to not only visiting friends for a long time, but also informing me of the Taoist fellows that I will be in seclusion in the capital for three years and stay in the door and hope to know."
"I haven't left for three years?" Taoist Master Qingxuan raised his eyebrows.
"That's right."
"My fellow Taoist has only been there for three years. As soon as he came back, it will take another three years. Sure enough, the spiritual practice of the sect really does not talk about the years and the heat." Taoist Master Qingxuan shook his head repeatedly, "This is called "I miss you."
"Brother Dao, stop joking."
"Why are you joking? Do you think no one recites me?" said Taoist Master Qingxuan, "I just recite it very much!"
Principal Jiang next to him ignored him and cooked tea silently.
Junior Brother Ma should not hear it, and just drank tea with his head in his mouth.
"When I was in seclusion and refining the alchemy, it was difficult to be disturbed. But today, the situation was uncertain. In troubled times, people often lost their etiquette and ignored the rules. Although I invited some guardians, if there were any situations that they could not cope with, I would like to ask Brother Taoist to help me." Lin Jue said sincerely.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist." Master Qingxuan was also very serious when he heard this, "Fellow Taoist has helped us more than once or twice."
"It seems that this is the critical time for fellow Taoists." Principal Jiang did not look up, but only a voice came out, "My True Lord promises a thousand gold. My True Lord has not used the merits of my True Lord."
"Thank you, two fellow Taoists."
"What do you think of this scene with fellow Taoist?" Taoist Jiang suddenly asked.
"This scene?" Lin Jue turned his head and saw the chaotic wind blowing the lotus, and the world was cool and free, "It's a good scenery."
"I practiced here the day before yesterday and suddenly became interested. I painted this place, which is quite similar to today's scenery. It would be better to give it to fellow Taoists as a gift. It is hung in the house when I was in seclusion to practice, so as to relieve the suffocation in the house and add some freedom of mountain wind." Taoist Jiang said.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist can still paint?"
Principal Jiang was cooking tea, so he asked Junior Brother Ma to pick up the painting.
Wow! Open the painting and hold it in the chaotic wind!
It is a light ink painting.
The lotus leaves painted with ink are tilted randomly, as if they are dancing in the wind. The lotus flowers in the middle are in color, more than today. They are also dancing in the wind. The blooming petals are blown away by the wind, and the unopened ones are blown away by the wind. The ripples in the pond are dizzy. Although there is no wind, the wind is in the pond. I think if someone is sitting in the painting, he will squint his eyes.
It's true that this is the same.
"It's so good to paint-"
After Lin Jue took it, he checked it up and down.
There is nothing on the paper except paintings.
Seeing this, Master Qingxuan also had the same idea as him and smiled and said, "I have just made the painting, but I have not written a title or a poem. Brother Ma, I will still bring a pen and print for you, Senior Brother Jiang."
"I am very talented and can't write poems." Taoist Jiang shook his head.
"It's okay to write a few long and short sentences." Taoist Qingxuan said, "and write the year, month, place in small words,
And the name of my junior brother, who will give it to anyone.”
"I can't do it well."
"It would be better to think about it for a few more days. Anyway, now that the words are written and the documents are written, I can't do it immediately." Taoist Qingxuan said, "When you go to the city to buy it in a few days, you will send it to the Taoist residence."
"Okay."
Principal Jiang nodded, so he put away the painting again.
Junior Brother Ma, who had just stood up, sat down again.
Lin Jue smiled and said nothing.
I sat until dusk and left.
The junior sister's injuries gradually healed.
Lin Jue was also ready in the house.
Because of Master Fan Tian's departure, Mr. Pan rarely came back in recent years, and the yard was almost vacant. Wan Xinrong and others asked the Ministry of Rites and all lived in the yard.
Dozens of soldiers remained bigger and stood in the courtyard.
A wooden ball is placed in the alcove of the main hall.
The little junior sister, Caili and Baieg are both in the yard.
At this time, Lin Jue had already sat in the quiet room.
The quiet room was also changed, and the bamboo and wood were replaced with a more fire-resistant material, with a large alchemy furnace in the middle.
Lin Jue even invited the fox to Shimen Mountain of the Fourth Senior Brother, and borrowed the fourth Senior Brother's fire-washing clothes. Although his body has significantly improved after going down to Nanshan, he has been in seclusion here for thousands of days and faced the fire-washing spirit fire every day, it is more comfortable to wear the fire-washing clothes.
In the quiet room, except for a wooden stand, there were thousands of taels of gold and various elixirs, there was only an ink painting hanging on the wall.
The painting shows the lotus in the wind, lifelike. When people see it, it seems that the strong wind can blow to the cloudy day in late summer, and their hair will also flutter with the lotus leaves and lotus flowers, which is in sharp contrast to this dull and quiet room.
There is a poem written on it casually but also in line with the situation:
The sour wind blew the lotus root flower clothes, and I was determined to show my true meaning.
It is already autumn when summer is coming. Can the fallen leaves send their thoughts on spring?
Below is the inscription of Principal Jiang and the seal stamped.
Lin Jue stood in front of the painting and looked carefully.
I pinched the time in my hand, and it was a good time for a good day.
Lin Jue then withdrew his gaze and turned around.
"Fuyao."
"infant!"
The fox looked serious and immediately opened his mouth:
A mouthful of flames rushed into the alchemy furnace.
The whole room suddenly became hot.
Lin Jue sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on sinking into it.
Seeing that the fire was right, he waved his hand and the thousand taels of gold were first thrown into it, softening and melting little by little, turning red and shiny, turning into gold and water, and putting it in the furnace and cauldron.
Many people in the world use alchemy to make money, or those who are superstitious about gold, silver, lead and mercury, but they don’t know that the least valuable thing in practicing this golden elixir is this thousand taels of gold. Among these thousand taels of gold, only the unique essence and spirit of gold are taken, and the rest are all scum.
And it will take about fifty days to refine it like this.
If you talk about it, it will be forty-nine days.
The fire-burning person changed from a fox to a junior sister, and then took turns back, only Lin Jue was here and was always focused.
