Phew! Boom!

A gust of breeze helped the door close.

The fox was startled, raised his head, glanced at the door, then at Lin Jue, and then lay down again.

Lin Jue took out the ancient book.

"Wow..."

Turn to the latest page.

Sure enough, there is one:

Sound transmission, the method of leaving voice to transmit sounds.

Beginners can cast spells, speak the words, catch them with their hands, and throw them into the distance. Learners can speak at will, and the sound will naturally spread to a distance. Advanced people can speak at will, even if there are thousands of people far away, only one person can hear it.

"It seems that the deeper the attainment, the farther the distance can be transmitted, and the more precise the control becomes?"

Lin Jue said thoughtfully.

"Wow..."

Shegongshu, the method of projecting shadows, uses shadows to hit people.

In ancient times, there was a strange creature called a worm. It often shot people with sand in the water, and those who were hit would die from sores. Even if they were only shot at the shadow of a person, they would also fall ill. Later, some people developed the "shooting technique" and could hit people with shadows.

people.

If the attainment is shallow, the force of hitting a human figure will not be preserved, and the sharp weapon will turn into a blunt blow; if the attainment is high, the force of the hit will be only ten percent, because the human figure is illusory, and if there is a cut or stab, it will still turn into a blunt blow. Therefore, practice shooting

Those who use craftsmanship to plot against others often use blunt weapons.

"Innuendo?"

It turns out that the lizard used this spell at that time.

But I don’t know if I realized it on my own or if I learned it from somewhere.

At that time, it used its tongue as a thorn and penetrated the ground. However, when it hit Lin Jue's shoulder, he only felt that he was stabbed by a blunt steel pillar. I don't know if it was because this spell would turn the thorn into a blunt blow, or because

Because that monster is not very accomplished, or it is both.

This is a good unexpected method, and it is very suitable to be used in conjunction with "curse control".

As long as you seize the opportunity, seize the opportunity well, and take things by surprise, even if you are not very accomplished or powerful, you can still achieve great results.

Combined with the fire spirit method, if it is night, you can also control the direction of the shadow by finding the angle.

If you go out for a trip, you will get a lot of harvest.

Lin Jue has learned something now and has another realization——

Spells are the use and extension of Tao. The reason why these spells have so many wonderful and fantasy effects, can be cast and take effect, is obviously because they conform to the rules of this world and are the extension of Tao. Therefore, there is a thread behind every spell.

Avenue.

Senior brothers often say that skills can communicate with gods. The "god" here actually refers to heaven and Tao.

Magic can also lead to heavenly passages.

It is naturally possible to gain enlightenment through magic and to open the door and see the Tao.

Suddenly I saw something strange in the house.

Lin Jue put down the ancient book and looked forward.

The fox I raised was probably used to him holding a book and reading it, so he didn't react to it. At this time, it was just walking on the wall in an ordinary way.

It seemed as if it was also practicing the spell it had just learned.

Just like the monster in the temple.

But it's not as scary as that monster——

Firstly, because it did not turn into a human form, and secondly, because it did not walk on its stomach like the monster, but maintained the figure and posture of a fox, just like walking on flat ground, but it was flying over the walls.

"..."

Lin Jue couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

I don’t know where it came from. If it came from that monster, I don’t know when it was learned.

As if sensing his gaze, the fox stood on the wall and stared at him.

"Come down."

"Woo~"

The fox jumped immediately, and its body seemed to be weightless. It seemed to be floating and flying in front of him. Its eyes were clear and confused, and it tilted its head to look at him.

Lin Jue reached out and stroked it gently.

"Fortunately, you only dig holes and catch mice. If you could demolish the house, you wouldn't even be able to keep the roof."

The fox lay still and made no sound.

Lin Jue played with the fox for a while, then pushed the door open and went out.

Go straight to the stove house.

The senior brother had used the stove for more than a month, and it was not too messy. However, the arrangement of many things was no longer Lin Jue's habit. He was very patient and put everything back in their original positions before looking at it.

The flour has not moved at all, and the rice is almost bottomed out. It seems that these Taoist priests really don't know how to make pasta. They ate nearly a whole jar of pickled cabbage and salt vegetables, and only one piece of bacon was left. It seems that they did listen to him, but

It's a little better than what the third senior brother thought. At least they know how to eat sparingly.

There are no spring bamboo shoots at the moment, and the winter bamboo shoots haven’t come out yet, but the dried bamboo shoots are about the same.

The little junior sister had already arrived in the stove room, and was sitting in front of the stove, raising her head and chin, staring at him eagerly.

Lin Jue first asked her to boil warm water, add a little salt, and soak the bacon and dried bamboo shoots.

The bacon I made last year was made when it was the coldest in Yishan. There is something special about making bacon. The lower the temperature and the stronger the wind, the less salt you need to make. The result will be less salty and better.

Eat, Yishan is undoubtedly a good place to make bacon.

So just take a dip.

Then he started kneading the dough himself, kneading it well and pulling it into even dough pieces.

"laugh!"

As usual, the bacon is fried first to stir up the aroma in hot oil, and then the dried bamboo shoots are stewed to make soup. The heat and meat aroma fill the whole stove.

Through the heat, Lin Jue and his junior sister looked at each other.

"Come on, let's make some noodles."

"oh!"

The junior sister agreed very decisively, stuffed a few more branches into the stove, stood up in a flash, washed her hands impatiently, and walked over quickly.

Lin Jue had divided the noodles before and cut them into flat pieces the size of a palm. Now he was making them wider, bigger, and thinner before putting them in the pot.

The two of them worked together.

After a few pulls, there were a few more people around.

A group of people are talking together.

The noodle pieces are put into the pot one after another and boiled in the soup.

Nowadays, there is no need to use a big basin to fill the food first and then share it outside. Everyone consciously fills a full bowl in his own bowl, and then takes it outside to eat. If he has not eaten enough, he just goes to the pot to serve it.

Lin Jue took two bowls, one in each hand, and went outside under the ancient pine trees. He placed one of them on the edge of the bench and sat next to it.

Master and many brothers also sat down one after another, holding a bowl. For a moment, the panasonic was filled with hot air and snoring sounds.

It was probably in the spring of this year that the fifth senior brother made a big bowl for everyone. I don’t know when the original small bowls were used less and less. Small bowls were only used when cooking delicate dishes.

eat.

Before I knew it, it was already late autumn.

Pine needles fall from time to time overhead, but even if they fall into the bowl, no one cares.

Even Lin Jue and the fox just looked up, threw away the pine needles, and continued eating.

In a short time, a group of Taoist priests ate everything in their bowls. There was no soup left at all. Except for the little junior sister who went to add more rice, the other Taoist priests were all full.

"Hiccup~"

“I haven’t had such a comfortable meal in a long time!”

“So comfortable!”

"You have to be a junior brother..."

"Let me tell you, you've been gone for half a month, and the seventh junior brother relied on his cooking skills, so he couldn't help but cook a pot of bread noodles." The sixth senior brother said, "Guess what happened?"

"A pot of mush?"

"To the bird~"

Several people chatted about when Fuyao's fur changed color, and whether it was considered white or gray. They also talked about what happened to them when they stayed in the temple. After being coaxed by several senior brothers, they finally cleared the bowls on the table.

He also brought a sand table and placed it on the table, and hung the stylus on a pine branch with a string.

But the one holding the Qi was not the Sixth Senior Brother.

But the master, Taoist Yunhe.

"The Ji Immortal I have made friends with is the mentor of the Sixth Immortal. They are both knowledgeable and have similar divination skills. However, this old friend of mine should be more daring to speak out."

As Taoist Yunhe spoke, he waved away all the fallen pine needles and then sighed:

"Speaking of which, Pindao hasn't invited this old friend for a long time."

"Crack!"

Taoist Yunhe lit the incense stick and put his hands together.

"Old friend, please come."

With a breath, a breeze blew through the courtyard.

"Old friend, long time no see."

"..."

"There are still two or three years left."

"..."

"Hahaha, of course I have something to ask."

Taoist Yunhe spoke to the sand table and stylus, as if talking to himself, and as if he heard some response. At the end of his speech, he paused, shook his head and smiled, and then asked directly:

"Before, my disciple went down the mountain to slay demons and encountered some silver-stealing demons in Yixian County. Later, he was eliminated by Yili Shenjun under the command of Emperor Jadejian of Nine Heavens Fairyland. But a few days ago, he came back from Mingqing Mountain and found another demon in An.

Lin County encountered some monster monks who stole silver, and there seemed to be monsters behind them. I wonder if the two things are connected? If so, does the immortal know the reason? "

The stylus paused for a long time, and the wind kept blowing.

After a long time, the line and pen started to move:

"The old immortal opened the furnace in Chang'an. He first took the river water and then the mountains. It is half haze and jade color, half human and half elixir."

"Crack!"

The string broke immediately and the pen fell into the sand.

There was obviously another gust of wind, whistling away.

"Leaving?"

Many Taoists looked outside.

Although I don’t know why this Immortal left in such a hurry, I also know that the matter is probably of great importance. Since he is willing to say it, he must be thinking of friendship, so he hurriedly salutes.

Then I read this poem again.

If the immortals make speculations, they are not sure whether their predictions are correct, and they are also afraid of causing trouble if they explain in detail, so most of them give vague answers in the form of poems and paintings.

"This poem tells the story of an ancient immortal who has fallen in ancient times and made elixirs. It is said that the ancient immortal was refining elixirs in the capital, not only to refine elixirs and become immortals, but also to bring peace to the world."

Taoist Yunhe looked at the poem and explained:

"It is said that when the ancient immortal made the elixir, he took the essence of the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon, and the aura of the mountains and dragons. It took him twenty years to finally make the elixir. When the elixir was made, in addition to the haze and purple energy,

He could also see thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the mist, and the world on earth, and he took the elixir, became a human immortal, purged the demons, and ushered in a period of peace."

After listening to it, everyone naturally knew that this was just a quotation, and the specific answer was still in the poem.

"Is it related to the capital?"

"Or is it related to the world?"

"Could it be that someone knew that the world was about to be in chaos, so they used these monsters to collect money for military expenses and to conquer the world?" Senior Brother said calmly.

"Then what does 'half human and half elixir' mean? Is this silver used to make elixirs?" asked the third senior brother.

Then everyone looked at the second senior brother.

"Gold, silver, lead, jade, cinnabar and mercury are indeed commonly used raw materials for making elixirs, but no matter how good the elixir is, it doesn't use so much silver, right? Unless he wants to make a lot of elixirs that use silver. I have heard that

There are alchemists in other places who use the pretext of refining alchemy to defraud silver, but they are just defrauding money."

The second senior brother who specializes in elixir refining said, suddenly paused again and frowned: "In addition to refining many elixirs that require the use of silver, there is another possibility."

"What's possible?"

"Have you ever heard of the three ghosts of alchemy? They swallow gold, eat silver, and chew jade."

"What's this?"

"This is a monster created by the power of alchemy when the ancient way of alchemy was at its peak: the three are not the same, and they are not from the same power, but because gold, silver and jade are juxtaposed, they are often mentioned together."

The second senior brother explained to them:

"The gold-swallowing ghost swallows gold, swallowing ten taels at a time, and spits out the beauty-preserving elixir. The youth that he eats will stay forever, and he will not grow old even until he dies;

"Silver-eating ghosts swallow silver, and every time they swallow ten taels, they spit out the Spiritual Essence Pill, which can increase their Taoist practice;

"The jade-chewing ghost eats precious jade. Every time he swallows a bucket, he spits out the elixir of freedom. He eats it and rides on the wind. He is like a god, traveling freely in the world!"

"Really or not?"

"It's probably true, right? Doesn't Xiaoyuan Dan use silver? It's just that the rumors must be exaggerated. Either the effect is not so good, or it needs to be taken all the time." The second senior brother said, "Twenty years ago

The late emperor favored his concubine and was addicted to women. He couldn't extricate himself, so he sent strange people from the Juxian Mansion to the four seas to find the gold-swallowing ghost."

"Did you find it?"

"Who knows this? You won't tell if you find it, right? After all, although the emperor is in charge of the world, the court is corrupt, and there are also women among the senior masters who practice spiritual magic. If you don't understand the way of alchemy, it will be difficult for you to be close to a true immortal.

Escape from aging, and maybe you will be moved by it.”

The second senior brother said, then paused:

"But there are some rumors."

"What rumors?"

"After the current emperor succeeded to the throne, he was also addicted to women and took possession of the late emperor's concubine. This has always been a scandal for this dynasty and is despised by civil and military officials... The concubine must be in her forties or fifties, right?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately became thoughtful.

It seems to be mostly true.

There are such wonderful ghosts in this world.
