The snow in Yishan continued to fall until February, but it became thinner and thinner. In the end, only when the weather was very bad did some snowflakes drift in the sky. The snowy wonderland of Yishan in winter was no longer visible.

It’s only then that spring comes in the mountains.

The catcher named Pan Yi in the middle made another trip up the mountain in person, just in time for a fine snowy day, and brought the results of the interrogation and judgment of the warrior.

Nothing was asked.

In addition, the Taoists from Fuqiu Temple go to the Scissor Peak next door every few days to do hard work to repair the temple for the Taoist friends at Scissor Peak. No one can escape except Taoist Yunhe.

.However, the brothers worked together regardless of each other, and talked and laughed while working hard, which undoubtedly had a special kind of fun. As for the hard work, there was absolutely no mention of it.

Spring has arrived soon, and peach and pear flowers are blooming all over the mountain.

After a free day and good spring weather, the Taoist priests from Fuqiu Temple brought food and wine, went up to the depths of the peach blossoms in the mountains, and sat around to enjoy the spring.

On the ground were braised bacon and steamed brown sugar cakes made by Lin Jue, and rice wine brewed by the third senior brother. The head was full of peach blossoms, and a slender fox was lying on a peach branch, with a fluffy tail hanging down.

The junior sister held a colorful raccoon dog, lowered her head and concentrated on cooking.

"How are you two practicing your magic?"

Taoist Yunhe asked as he held the hair cake with his long beard stained with hair cake crumbs.

"Master, I don't know the depth of Taoism, but I haven't slacked off in practice." Lin Jue replied, "In terms of magic, I have learned fire magic and alchemy from my second senior brother, and Dou Bing is about to get started."

"Back to Master, I'm the same. The road I built is almost over the first mountain. If I hadn't gone to help Fourth Auntie to build the temple, I would have already gone over it." The junior sister followed Lin Jue and couldn't help but say.

Lin Jue looked at him in confusion, why did he learn one subject and his senior brother learned two subjects, and the progress was not slow at all.

After thinking about it for a while, I had to add another sentence:

"I learned swordsmanship from Third Senior Brother very seriously. Third Senior Brother always praised me for my talent!"

"Stop talking about this. The spring is so bright today and the peach blossoms are blooming all over the mountain. Why are you talking about this if you don't drink?" The third senior brother held the wine jar with one hand and poured wine for everyone. He shook his head happily while pouring the wine.

He muttered, "Wine is a magic medicine that can drive away all kinds of cold. Wine is a life-sustaining powder that can relieve three thousand troubles..."

Taoist Yunhe was also cheerful and didn't care. He ate the meat and drank from the cup.

Lin Jue felt some itching on the back of his head. When he looked back, he saw that it was his little fox's hanging tail, swaying unconsciously.

Lin Jue patted it and raised his glass to drink.

Even though the third senior brother drinks alcohol all day long, he also takes Taoist temple with him and has to add wine to the table from time to time. In fact, the alcohol content of the wine he makes is very low, whether it is fruit wine or rice wine, he has no strength. And this man is making wine.

There is a skilled craftsman on it, and the wine produced is neither astringent nor bitter, but always has a sweet taste. When Lin Jue and his junior sister drank it, they also drank it as sweet water.

Feeling excited, Brother Seven twisted a peach blossom and threw it into the sky, whereupon it turned into a pink butterfly.

Everyone looked along.

It's really like a butterfly——

The leaf stem attached to the flower became the butterfly's body, the stamens became the butterfly's head and antennae, and the petals became the butterfly's wings, flying over everyone's heads and among the peach branches.

Cai Li couldn't tell the difference and was only attracted by the butterfly. He left the arms of his junior sister and jumped to catch it. After working for a long time, he couldn't catch it. On the contrary, when the butterfly flew in front of the fox, the fox stretched out his hand and naturally caught it.

He caught it and threw it to Caili seriously.

When the butterfly falls to the ground, it's just a few petals.

The seventh senior brother held the wine glass and smiled.

Lin Jue undoubtedly felt the charm of drama. At this moment, it really became the magic he wanted to learn the most.

"It's peach and pear flowers now, and in a few days, the azaleas in the mountains will also bloom." Taoist Yunhe said, "Yishan Mountain is beautiful every season. After seeing the azaleas this season, you two have seen it all.

Already."

"It's only been a year." Lin Jue sighed.

"It's only been one year!" Junior sister imitated him and said.

"Junior sister, don't forget to pick some peach blossoms for me after you finish drinking. You will be able to drink peach blossom wine in a few days."

"Remember senior brother."

"You idiot, ask your junior sister to handle your own affairs!" Taoist Yunhe glanced at him, "What did you say to me just now?"

Taoists inherently pursue casualness, so they can naturally call themselves whatever they want.

After the laughter, the senior brothers asked Lin Jue what vegetables he would grow this year, what poultry and livestock he would raise, and how to plan his meals for the next year. Lin Jue lay down and occasionally mentioned the names of a few dishes and a few short descriptions, which would attract the attention of Lin Jue.

They are salivating and looking forward to it.

While we were chatting, something suddenly happened.

The fox lying on the tree was about to fall asleep, but he suddenly turned his head and looked into the sky in the distance. Among the many Taoists on the mountain, only Taoist Yunhe turned his head.

The mountain breeze filled the sky, peach blossoms were flying, and a paper crane flew in the middle.

Everyone noticed Taoist Yunhe's gaze and turned around to look. They thought it was the Seventh Senior Brother's trick again.

But I saw the paper crane hovering in the air, as if it was looking for something, and then it aimed at the people below, shook it a few times, and then fell down.

Taoist Yunhe stretched out his hand and just caught it.

Lin Jue saw the spiritual light on the paper crane in a trance, but it disappeared immediately after it landed on the ground.

Taoist Yunhe seemed not to be surprised and just opened it.

The other senior brothers also looked at him curiously.

"Did you deliver the letter? Where did the letter come from? This kind of magic can actually bypass the mountain god of Yishan Mountain!"

"It was sent by Mingqing Mountain, saying that this year's big festival will be held at Mingqing Mountain during the Mid-Autumn Festival." Taoist Yunhe said after reading it, "I hope we can go to the festival."

"Dajiao?"

Lin Jue suddenly thought of the Qiyun Mountain Taoist Fair last spring, which the city's magicians traveled thousands of miles to attend. It was actually a kind of big festival, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Is the Dajiao held once a year?"

"No, there is no fixed number for this. Some are separated by long intervals, and some are separated by short intervals." Taoist Yunhe handed the paper to the senior brother and explained to Lin Jue at the same time, "Although there is no fixed number of time, it is just a big feast.

The manpower and financial resources required are extremely high. For example, 20 years ago, it usually only opened once every four to five years or every five or six years."

Lin Jue didn't ask any more questions.

After going up the mountain for so long, he already knew that Zhaijiao was actually a solemn ritual of the Fulu Sect, with the purpose of worshiping the gods and praying for peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

Taoist temples from the famous Lingfa sect will also be invited, firstly because they are all fellow Taoists after all, and secondly because in addition to bowing down, the Lingfa sect can also contribute to the prosperity of the country and the people.

In addition, there are the monks of the Spiritual Method Sect and the casual cultivators all over the world. Strange people and strangers are closed to each other and do not communicate much with each other. A grand ceremony known to the whole world like the Great Jiao has become a good communication platform.

At the wedding ceremony, you can exchange information about the general trend of the world, make friends, and even exchange magic weapons, pills, and even magic spells.

In the past, the big festival was held only once every four to five years. The reason why it was held a second time every year and a half must be because the country was not peaceful and the people were uneasy, and the wind and rain were not favorable, so they were willing to do it.

Spend money.

"What kind of spell is that?"

Lin Jue looked at the paper crane curiously and asked.

I regretted not reaching out to pick it up just now.

"Origami is also considered a skill." Senior Brother Seventh replied casually, "But it is used by the Fulu Sect."

"What's the difference?"

"There is no essential difference. They are all origami shows. It's just that the Taoist priests of the Fulu Sect don't know this spell themselves. They borrowed the skills from the gods. Well, and they borrowed the skills from the gods who specialize in this way. It can probably be understood as the ability of the gods in the world at that time.

The person or persons with the most profound attainments in this art. Therefore, he can fly ten miles and hundreds of miles in the near distance and thousands of miles in the far distance. He can reach any place where the divine power radiates."

"What about the Spiritual Law Sect?"

"Our Taoist temple does not have the art of origami, but even if you can, you won't be able to fly very far if you have shallow attainments. If you have deep attainments, you can fly far. But if you want it to accurately find the target, you still have to ask for help from the gods.

, or catch a ghost yourself and ask a ghost to guide you."

"The Talisman Sect still has great advantages..."

"It's not just that." Brother Seventh said with a smile, "If an ordinary monk comes back from folding paper, even if there is a ghost to guide him, he can find our Fuqiu Peak, but he will not be able to pass the mountain god of Yishan Mountain."

"Do all the Fu Lu Sect monks do this?"

"Of course not, it depends on what kind of god you worship, whether the god you worship can do this, and whether the god you worship is the one who specializes in this way." Senior Brother Seventh said, "Qiyun Mountain does not worship this kind of god.

They are gods who specialize in this way, but they also have other abilities. For example, last year, they were Qingji under the imperial envoy Yili Shenjun who came to deliver a message."

"Qingji..."

"A kind of strange spirit that travels thousands of miles in a day."

"So are we going?"

Everyone then looked at Taoist Yunhe.

"Ahem, alas, the Dajiao is rarely held once, so naturally we have to go. What's more, if we don't go to the Dajiao at this time, I'm afraid we will be said to be indifferent to the world by fellow Taoists."

The old Taoist paused as he spoke:

"But I'm old, and Mingqing Mountain is a bit far away, so I can't walk any further. Alas, the world is in chaos now, and I'm not sure there will be any requests from the people down the mountain. It's not appropriate for you all to leave the Taoist temple. This is a fasting ceremony.

Originally we didn’t have much to do, we just wanted to join in the fun. Then I’ll ask a senior brother to take you two little ones there so that you can experience it. Let’s see what the other spiritual monks in the world are like.

, What kind of skills do these strange people have?"

"knew……"

Lin Jue and the junior sister both nodded.

After deciding on this matter, many Taoist priests forgot about it and continued eating, drinking, talking and laughing, as if they had no worries.

Only the little junior sister was obsessed with picking peach blossoms. She picked half of the basket before she finished eating. Then she came back and sat down to listen to the senior brothers talking. Unknowingly, everyone and the fox were covered with flowers.

Come to think of it, this is the path of spiritual practice in the hearts of the people at the foot of the mountain, and this is the casual and natural spiritual life.

Back at the Taoist Temple, I could only make wine with pine flowers and cook tea with spring water. In the comfortable days, there were several cold rains in the morning and wind in the evening, and the flowers in the forest faded away in a hurry.

The spiritual plants in the mountains are also blooming.

In early summer, it bears fruit.

At first, there were more than twenty fruits. When they grew to the size of a fingernail, you could tell they were fruits, and you could see that no other fruits appeared anymore. The spirits in the mountains picked some and threw them away.

Most of the ones that fell out were stunted ones and those that were close together, leaving seventeen.

There are fourteen mountain spirits in total, including Lin Jue, Junior Sister and Fox, there are exactly seventeen.

Lin Jue didn't expect that they could also thin their fruit.

His counting ability is also better than that of fellow Taoists at Scissor Peak.
