"Is the world so chaotic now?"

The third senior brother asked while staring at the rabbit meat.

"You really don't know what's fake, don't you?"

"Uncle, what you said is right! How long have we been practicing on the mountain? We have been practicing on the mountain all day long, so why should we care about the twists and turns of the Talisman Sect?" The third senior brother said, "Of course I really don't know."

"Then let me tell you about it——

"Now above the nine heavens, according to our Lingfa Sect, are the four Heavenly Lords! These four Heavenly Lords have been standing behind the Heavenly Lords for a long time. There are also two or three ancient gods, who are also true immortals in ancient times, but

After going to heaven, I almost didn’t participate

Decision-making disputes with the gods. As for the other Tianzun and ancient gods, they are all names and honorifics given by the Fulu Sect. Not to mention their contribution to the world, the power of speaking and practicing magic alone will definitely not reach the level of the ancient true immortals.

level.”

Uncle Second Master narrated:

"There are many emperors under Tianzun. Similarly, the Fulu Sect values ​​merit and contribution and uses this to determine the priest's position and authority. But according to our Lingfa Sect, there are actually only five people who can reach the realm of great power.

"There is one God, Tianweng, who has the highest status, is in charge of the three realms and the five elements, and is superior to the nine heavens, the sun and the moon.

"The remaining four correspond to the four famous mountains.

"For example, the Lord of Qiyun Mountain is dedicated to Emperor Yujian, the Lord of Mingji Mountain is dedicated to Emperor Zixu, the Lord of Zhangtong Mountain is dedicated to Emperor Miaoming, and the Lord of Mount Yue is dedicated to Emperor Qinghua.

"you say--

"Do they want to go further?"

The third senior brother listened and couldn't help but take a breath. Even though he was a character, he couldn't help but lower his voice, opened his eyes and asked: "Does it go further... Tian Weng or..."

"Who knows?"

"Uncle Master, don't you know?"

"You are a Taoist priest who has no chance of becoming a 'real person' in this life! Why do you worry about these emperors and gods?"

"Uncle, are you talking about yourself?"

"You bastard..."

The second uncle shook his head, waved his hand and asked:

"Are you done yet?"

I can't wait any longer.

"It's ready to eat."

Lin Jue took down the two roast rabbits.

The rabbit meat has been roasted until it becomes charred, and the skin is red and as thin as a piece of paper. There are many neat cuts on it, all covered with spices, exuding an alluring aroma.

Lin Jue tore off a rabbit leg and gave it to the second uncle first, then tore off another rabbit leg and handed it to the fox.

"You eat first, you get the most credit."

"Woo~"

The fox took it carefully and was not afraid of getting burned.

The third senior brother had already extended his hand over unceremoniously.

He grabbed the rabbit leg and pulled it, and he could clearly see every fiber of the meat. The aroma of burnt meat hit his face and went straight into his nose. He didn't care about the burning and took a bite. He didn't notice it in his mouth.

The saliva that coats it just cools down the rabbit meat.

"laugh……"

A crisp sound was heard.

The outer shell is really crispy, and although the meat inside is very dry, it doesn't feel like firewood at all. Instead, it is wrapped in spices and becomes more and more fragrant the more you chew it.

"Uncle, the roast rabbit you used to eat should be similar to what my junior brother roasted, right?"

"..."

"By the way, uncle, what did you eat on the mountain before?"

"Isn't it the same? Each person cooks for a month!"

"Tsk! That's great!"

The third senior brother happily gnawed on the rabbit leg.

The two began to chat about something that would make many Taoists on the mountain find it thrilling.

"Today, this court favors traitors, plots against loyal people, and protects such a huge world, but there is no one to use it or control it. It cannot defeat foreign enemies, it cannot eliminate internal troubles, and it enjoys itself all day long, from the inside to the outside, from the root to the root.

The top of my head is rotten, how can I keep it up?" Second Master Uncle said, "In addition to the capital city, only Jiangnan and its surrounding area are relatively peaceful in this world. But even so, there were still problems on my way here.

We encountered a group of bandits who robbed us."

The area south of the Yangtze River and its surrounding area, where Qiyun Mountain and Yishan Mountain are located, has always been prosperous in trade and culture, and was the imperial court's money bag.

"These bandits don't even spare Taoist priests?"

"Who says it's not the case! Even the Taoist priests are not spared!" The second uncle tugged at the dark Taoist robe on his body, "The poor Taoist is still wearing a Taoist robe!"

"What happened next?"

"I originally wanted to send them all back to nature, but my heart softened and I only killed half of them."

The junior sister glanced at him repeatedly.

Several bones were gradually lost on the ground.

However, the bones of rabbits are small to begin with. After being roasted slowly for so long, except for the leg bones, other parts have already become crispy. Taoists and foxes almost chewed up the bones and swallowed them.

"In short, now, among the four famous mountains, some are willing to protect the imperial court, and some are not. To put it bluntly, the Taoist priests are free and easy by nature and indifferent to fame and fortune. Hahaha, the free and easy nature refers to the Lingfa sect, and the indifferent to fame and fortune refers to those Taoist priests.

Those who make elixirs in the mountains, but the Taoist priests of the Fulu Sect are the most numerous in the world. Most of the people in the Taoist temples are high-ranking officials. Even if they are worshiped by gods, they still have to compete for the incense in the Taoist temple."

This second uncle looks older, and his spirit is very different from his master.

How did they get along with each other in the mountains?

Lin Jue couldn't help but think.

At this time, the rabbit meat had been eaten, and there was only a little bit left. The second junior uncle was embarrassed to snatch it from them, so he waved his sleeves, put his hand into his arms, looked at Lin Jue and the junior junior sister and said:

"Although it was the first time we met, I don't know if we will have a fate in the future, but after eating such a good meal of meat from you, you called me uncle again, and uncle was embarrassed and didn't say anything.

"I want to teach you a useful spell. There are only a few days left for this ritual. I can't teach it, so I have to give you something. You will need it when you go down the mountain and travel around the world."

When the two heard this, they both looked up at him.

The second uncle stretched out his hand from his arms.

In his hand were two donkey-shaped pieces of paper.

"I got it in the north before. I originally wanted to come here to exchange for some stuff, but it turned out that it was all crappy stuff. I guess all the good stuff was exchanged last year! So I'm giving it to you!"

"Paper donkey technique?"

The third senior brother stared at his hands.

"What a good boy, you have some good sense!" Second Master Uncle said, grinning, "Don't worry, you came just right!"

"this……"

The junior sister looked at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue did not hesitate, nor was he mentally burdened. He reached out and took it: "Thank you very much, uncle!"

"Thank you, uncle!"

The younger junior sister quickly followed and took it.

"The paper donkey is convenient. I've taken great care of it. Although I'm still afraid of fire, I'm not afraid of water. A little rain won't damage it. Just don't get caught in heavy rain or fall into the river and soak for a long time. If you get wet, it'll be quick.

Dry it in the sun. Inject magic power into it and say "Donkey appears" and it will come out. Use it with care."

The second uncle gave a trivial explanation.

"Second Master Uncle, where is mine?"

"..."

The second uncle glanced at him, wiped his mouth, looked at the sky getting dark in the distance, stood up directly, and walked out, leaving only one sentence:

"Let's go!"

Lin Jue and his junior sister stood up at the same time.

"Uncle, walk slowly."

But I saw that figure seemed to have wind blowing under its feet, and quickly disappeared in the night shadows and twilight.

The third senior brother came back to his senses and looked at them with envy: "With this thing, it will be much easier to travel around the world in the future."

Lin Jue took the piece of paper and looked at it carefully.

You can vaguely tell that it is made of paper, but the paper these days is not thin at all. This paper is thicker and stronger, like a donkey-shaped card, about the size of a palm.

"The donkey appears."

Lin Jue said something and threw it away.

"Canopy..."

A burst of white smoke suddenly appeared.

There is a light gray donkey on the ground, of medium size.

"The donkey appears."

Another sentence, an explosion.

Two light gray donkeys on the ground.

Brother Donkey next to him was stunned when he saw it.

The fox also raised his head and stared straight at it, his eyes flickering constantly, looking at this one and then that one, shaking his head back and forth.

"This art of paper donkeys and paper horses is somewhat similar to our art of carving beans into soldiers, but there are some differences. It is much more difficult than carving beans into soldiers." The third senior brother simply lay down on the spot, with both

I spoke to them with a bit of the coolness of the autumn wind and a bit of the warmth of the fire.

"How do you say that?"

"Actually, our Taoist temple also has this magic, but do you know why our Taoist temple doesn't have a paper donkey?"

"Why?"

The third senior brother smiled and explained to him:

"Paper donkeys and paper horses are the same as our carved bean soldiers. Although they are made of paper, if they want to make them walk like donkeys and horses, carry things, and listen to people's words, it will take a little bit of residual soul. And it can only be made of paper.

Remnant Soul. It can be said that there is one more paper donkey in the world, but one real donkey is missing.

"However, the remaining souls are mostly transformed by the obsession of living beings.

"Animals are stupid, difficult to be obsessed with, and naturally difficult to become remnant souls, so they can be encountered but not sought after. Even if you encounter them, they cannot be consistent with people's thoughts and character, and it is difficult to be actively attracted by you. Therefore, the magic of paper donkeys and paper horses is useful for

The remnant soul has a coercive and constraining effect, and the remnant soul of animals is also easier to restrain, which is different from the Bean Soldier method.

"But after all, it is something you can meet but cannot ask for...

"Perhaps only when Brother Donkey's soul returns to the West many years later but refuses to leave, can our Taoist temple have a paper donkey."

Both Lin Jue and Lin Jue looked astonished.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed very precious.

"Senior brother, I can leave this paper donkey to the Taoist temple." the younger junior sister said.

"What are you leaving for the Taoist temple? Just take it if Uncle Second Master gives it to you! Doesn't your move mean that Senior Brother Donkey is useless?"

"oh……"

The little junior sister clutched the paper donkey and her eyes flickered. It was obvious that in her entire life before leaving the village and going up the mountain, she had rarely met such a person who treated her so well soon after they met, so she felt it was very unreal.

He subconsciously looked at his little senior brother.

You have also benefited from your senior brother, right?

But I only heard this senior brother ask: "Would these senior uncles give such a valuable meeting gift when they meet for the first time?"

"It also depends on whether the uncles are rich or not and what they have on hand at the time. Most of the uncles are very free and easy, and they don't pay attention to these things. They give you what you have, it depends on your luck."

"Then I would like to ask Third Senior Brother...where do the other six Senior Uncles live?"

"you……"

The third senior brother who was admiring the moon couldn't help turning his head to look at him.

The junior sister also stared at him seriously.

…

In the blink of an eye, nine days passed.

This great feast is finally over.

It wasn't until the second day after the big ceremony that Lin Jue and his junior sister entered the Yanxia Temple to visit. Taoist Priest Qingxuan came to look for them and took them there.

At this time, we are walking in the haze view.

"Everyone is saying that Master Lingqing almost walked away yesterday. Is it true or not?" Lin Jue and Taoist Priest Qingxuan were also familiar with him. Knowing that he was an upright character, they also asked curiously.

"Fellow Taoist, Buddhism has a theory of debating scriptures, and Taoism also has a tradition of discussing Taoism. Some disagreements are normal. Why listen to rumors?"

"That's true."

"When will fellow Taoist leave?"

"The feast has ended. My senior brother said that we will set off down the mountain early tomorrow morning." Lin Jue said.

"Is the Dajiao still lively?"

“I gained a lot of knowledge and gained a lot.”

"That's good." Taoist Master Qingxuan said, "Otherwise, this trip will be in vain."

"What about you?"

"We have to wait a few more days."

"Then we'll leave first."

"Be careful along the way."

"nature."

Lin Jue was walking and chatting when he suddenly passed by a large hall. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a statue of a god in the hall——

He also wore armor on the inside, but it was made of fine scales, and on the outside he wore five-colored divine clothes. He was about one foot tall. The flickering candlelight and the curling smoke made him look particularly solemn, reminding him of the Yili Shenjun.

Lin Jue couldn't help but stop.

I saw couplets in front of the main hall:

Green tiles protect the wind and clouds, and don't open a cave;

The sun and moon hang in the red sky, and they are close to the beautiful God Gao.

"Which god is this?"

"This is Fuchi Shenjun, the true king and general under the command of Emperor Zixu. Next to him are his two generals, Xuanri and Xuanyue. Recently, it was Fuchi Shenjun and his generals who were chanting the Mountain Jiao.

Mingqing Mountain will not be invaded by goblins, ghosts, evil spirits and heretics." Taoist Master Qingxuan said with a smile, "If you are interested, you can go burn incense and form a good relationship."

"Next time!"

Lin Jue shook his head.

As expected, he is in a similar position to Yili Shenjun.

Then he walked out of the Taoist temple and slowly went down.
Chapter completed!
