"Take it."

Lin Jue returned to the room and handed a piece of silver to the silver-eating ghost.

"Thank you, real person."

The silver-eating ghost hadn't eaten for a long time, and was injured, so he was already very hungry. When he reached out to pick up the silver, he was already drooling. He took the silver and immediately sniffed it in front of his nose.

"Hiss! It smells so good!!"

The silver-eating ghost suddenly showed a look of shock, and was moved to tears, and kept saying: "It smells so good! I haven't tasted silver that smells so good for a long time!"

Lin Jue frowned and stared at it.

The little fox also squatted on the ground, standing like a human, stretching its neck, raising its head, and staring at it curiously.

Obviously, no matter whether it is a human or a fox, there is no scent or smell in silver. Isn't it the same smell? At most, when it is taken out from a person, it will have some human smell.

However, knowing that many demons and ghosts have strange things, and that the mysterious laws of the world have always been wonderful, many strange things are difficult for monks to master no matter how hard they practice, Lin Jue was not surprised. However, the fox saw that it was delicious and couldn't help but lick it a few times.

Mouth, I also have the idea of ​​​​trying it.

A small piece of silver, only two taels at most, it just sniffed it again and again, licked it again, put it in its mouth and chewed it slowly before swallowing it.

"Gudong..."

The silver-eating ghost looked at him eagerly.

"How much silver do you need to eat in a month?" Lin Jue couldn't help but ask.

"Normally, you have to eat ten taels of silver in a month to survive and spit out one pill, but the maximum is no more than a hundred taels and spit out ten pills." The silver-eating ghost couldn't help but show fear as he spoke.

He recalled the time when he was in the hands of the Demon King, so he quickly added, "Once the amount of silver eaten per month exceeds one hundred taels, I will be exhausted, and the elixir I spit out will become mixed, and swallowing it will have bad effects.

"

"January 12th..."

Lin Jue couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Not to mention that the upper limit of one hundred taels per month is the lower limit of 11 taels per month. The financial burden on their Taoist temple is not small.

You must know that the brothers in Guanzhong go down to the mountain to eliminate demons, but they never take the initiative to mention the reward money. People can give as much as they are willing to give. If they are rich, they will give more, and if they are poor, they will give less. If they are really poor, give them a bag of various items from the village.

The rice and wheat provided by the household should not be too little.

Where can we get so much money to supply it?

Not to mention that this silver-eating ghost is very picky. The improper origin of the silver directly affects the quality of the elixir. Even without this, it is impossible for Taoist Fuqiu Guan's character to make money wantonly because of this.

But then I thought again——

Maybe that's why the piece of silver tastes so delicious in its mouth.

…

A few days later.

After all, the crisp pears sent by Gongcun of Li Village were not finished. Even though they were provided to the mountain gods and pilgrims, they were not finished. Instead, there were two more old hens in the Taoist temple, some bacon and cloth, all of which came up the mountain.

The pilgrims who returned the gift and thanked them brought it, and some also brought some money.

The junior sister has already started to get busy.

Both the second senior brother and the fifth senior brother are better at making autumn pear ointment, so there is no need for Lin Jue to teach them.

At this time, Taoist Yunhe took a deck chair and sat on the steps outside the main hall. Looking ahead, Lin Jue was the only one sitting next to him, carefully carving wood with a carving knife.

There was already a circle of wood flowers scattered on the ground.

"call……"

The junior sister also lit the fire in the furnace.

There was a large pot on the stove. She used high heat to boil the grated pear puree and pear juice. While she was doing this, she fed the pigs the peeled pear skin and pear core.

I washed my hands when I came back, took a small stool, and sat down in front of the stove seriously, preparing myself for a protracted war.

"Junior sister like you, if you don't find something to do all day long, you feel as if you are not feeling well all over." Taoist Yunhe turned to Lin Jue and said.

"fine."

"Of course you feel good about it! Everything has been done for her!"

"What's the matter? Why did master slander me?" Lin Jue stared at the statue in his hand seriously, without raising his head or stopping his hand movements. "I obviously went to the mountain to find ice powder fruit, just to wait.

She can use the Qiuli ointment after boiling it, which makes her feel that she can be useful, which can be said to be a well-intentioned thing."

"You can always come up with something new and exciting."

“It’s still too busy on the mountain.”

Lin Jue blew a breath to scatter the sawdust, then raised the wood carving to take a closer look.

He looks quite tall and mighty.

"call……"

The fox next to him imitated him and blew.

But the breath he exhaled was very cold.

Gradually in the afternoon, the Taoists gathered in the courtyard again.

There are many things that can be made into snacks in the mountains. Just for making ice powder, there are turtle dove leaves in spring, which can be used to make green turtle dove tofu, and mountain loquats in summer, which can be used to make pomegranate-colored mountain loquat ice powder. In this autumn

There are ice powder fruits, which can be used to make transparent ice powder.

Although it was late autumn at this time, everyone was just like this spring and summer, each holding a bowl of ice powder and eating it, adding some osmanthus, pear grains, hawthorn, raisins and jujube shreds, sour and sweet, and ice cold.

Unexpectedly, there was another knock on the door outside.

"Dong dong."

"I'll go see it!"

The junior sister immediately ran over.

Guests will be received soon.

I just finished delivering all the letters of thanks that I received over the past few days, and I didn’t expect that fellow Taoists from Qi Yunshan came again.

The same three are still there: Taoist Master Jiang Ning, Taoist Master Qingxuan and Junior Brother Ma.

The three of them followed the junior sister in and saw all the Taoists holding bowls and eating. They couldn't help but wonder. They came twice in a row and both times they encountered the Taoists from Fuqiu Temple eating. Could it be that instead of making offerings to the gods every day, they just made offerings to the gods?

All of God’s time is used to study how to satisfy the appetite?

What kind of magical day is this?

"Fellow Taoist is compassionate."

The three of them saluted them.

"Fellow Taoist, don't be merciful. Come and get a bowl." The third senior brother has his own way of receiving food.

"Thank you very much." Taoist Master Qingxuan stood in front, maintaining a saluting posture, waiting for the fellow Taoists from Fuqiu Peak to bring food to him. He declined twice more and said at the same time, "This time it is for

I would like to thank the fellow Taoists from Yishan who went down to slay the demons and protect the living beings from misery. Secondly, the demon-suppression by the God Lord has ended and the dust has settled. We are here to report the results to the fellow Taoists."

"No need to thank you very much." Eldest brother said honestly and politely.

"Sit down and talk." The second senior brother was also very hospitable.

"Let's talk while we eat." The third senior brother was the most enthusiastic.

Taoist Master Qingxuan couldn't refuse, so he took the first bowl and handed it to Taoist Jiang Ning, then took the second bowl and handed it to the junior brother behind him, and then he took the third bowl in his hand.

When I lowered my head and tasted it, I was amazed.

In the spring of this year, the meals and snacks eaten by the Taoist friends at Fuqiu Temple left a deep impression on him, and now he finally tasted them again.

This bowl of cold drink snacks is somewhat similar to the Turtle Dove Tofu from half a year ago, but the difference is not small. In addition to the difference in texture, the biggest difference is that Guanzhong seems to have prepared it this time. The dried fruit in the bowl

It is much richer than last time, with various flavors and aromas mixed together, sour, sweet and sour, making it more comfortable to eat.

"What is this called?" Taoist Priest Qingxuan asked.

"Homemade ice powder." Lin Jue replied.

"I cooked pear paste!" the junior sister also said.

"It must be that the fellow Taoists at Fuqiu Temple are leisurely and elegant." Taoist Master Qingxuan shook his head and sighed, "We have been extremely busy these days. Fortunately, we got the opportunity to come to Yishan to report to all the fellow Taoists.

It’s a little bit of leisure stolen from the busy schedule.”

"It's good to take a rest."

Lin Jue probably knew what they were busy with.

Although the place has settled down at this time, most of the demon king and his forces have been eliminated, and some remaining marginal monsters or small monsters have either escaped or been killed by the heavenly soldiers, but they have just experienced a catastrophe, and the people's casualties are unknown.

To some extent, the hearts of the living need to be stabilized, and the souls of the dead also need to be comforted.

Taoist priests of the Fulu Sect, regardless of Qiyun Mountain or some unknown small mountain temple, they all have to go down the mountain to perform rituals. This is also one of their duties.

But after so many days, I should be pretty busy now.

"How about the god slaying the demon?"

"oh!"

Taoist Priest Qingxuan then became serious and said to them:

"I think fellow Taoists have also heard about it——

"Although the three divine kings descended to the realm with the power of thunder to eliminate demons and beat the demon king to the point where he was unable to fight back, no matter what, the demon king was actually well prepared and very tenacious.

"The demon king has stored a lot of unique death energy in the four corners of this place in advance. If it cultivates smoothly and troubled times come, these death energy will be released by it, catalyze the evil, and add soldiers to its demon kingdom. At this time, it is

It was released in advance and used such tricks to force the gods to make a choice between the lives of the people in the four places and its life."

The Taoist priests at Fuqiu Peak had known about it for a long time, but they were still shocked after being confirmed by Taoist Master Qingxuan.

There has been peace for too long, longer than many people's lifetimes. This kind of thing, even to Taoists who know Taoism and guild magic, feels like they heard it from fairy tales.

"The divine king was angry but had no choice. After all, he had to care about the lives of the people, so he had to use all his strength and use all his magical powers to kill the demon king. Although he beat the demon king almost to death and his moral principles were shattered, he was eventually found by it.

It was a glimmer of hope and I escaped."

Taoist Priest Qingxuan also said somewhat helplessly:

"I don't know where it went, and I don't know if it can survive, but no matter what, it will definitely not cause another storm in a short period of time. Even if there is another storm next time, I'm afraid it won't be here with us."

It was a pity for the senior brothers to hear this.

Lin Jue was thinking beside him.

It seems to be similar to what the "rebuttal senior" at the foot of the mountain said.

But if what Taoist Master Qingxuan said is true, then even if the Corpse Tiger King can survive, without the Silver-eating Ghost, it won't be that easy for him to recover, right?

After all, Lin Jue has never "realized enlightenment" and is not a demon. He doesn't know what the demon king has, but he can't be sure.

Taoist Master Qingxuan continued to explain the details.

He didn't mention the silver-eating ghost, so he probably hadn't found it. The gods and Taoists were too embarrassed to say anything, and no one asked about it at Fuqiu Temple.

It sounds like this place has temporarily settled down.

However, Lin Jue couldn't help but look at his master, and then at the dining table under the ancient pine trees that had not been taken back, thinking of that day.

It's half human and half elixir.

"This time I am here to visit again. In addition to reporting this matter, I also want to say goodbye." Taoist Master Qingxuan said, but he first looked at Third Senior Brother, Lin Jue and Junior Sister, and then looked at Taoist Yunhe.

"Farewell?" Third Senior Brother asked.

"Yes, farewell." Taoist Master Qingxuan nodded and said very solemnly, "Now that the world is in chaos, the Lord God sent an edict in a dream, saying that some believers who believe in the Emperor have planned to build a Taoist temple in the capital, and it will be completed soon. I will leave in the spring of next year.

Go to the capital and live and practice in this newly built Taoist temple."

When the brothers heard this, they all looked at each other.

Although he is not a Taoist from the Fu Lu Sect, he is also a Taoist who knows how to practice magic, so he naturally knows what it means.

The capital has always been dedicated to worshiping the gods.

There are some Taoist temples of Emperor Zixu and Emperor Qinghua, but it is also because these two are closely related to Tianweng - even in the Tianweng Temple in Fuqiu Temple, these two are standing around Tianweng. As for Yu

Emperor Jian and Emperor Miaoming, one is in the south and the other is in the west.

The place of incense is not in the capital. On the contrary, Huizhou has prospered in commerce in recent years. Huizhou merchants often go to the capital to do business. Many people buy mansions in the capital or live temporarily in the capital after making money. If there are people who believe in Emperor Yujian, maybe

I will bring the statue of Emperor Yujian and place it at home for worship.

The Taoist monks from Qiyun Mountain are cultivating temples in the capital and sending personal disciples to live and practice there. What does this mean?

Lin Jue was originally thinking a little, thinking about the great world affairs of these gods competing for the incense dojo, but then he heard Taoist Master Qingxuan solemnly say:

"Because I have a lot of fate with several disciples of Guiguan, I have had some dealings with him, and I am grateful to Guiguan for coming down the mountain to help me and taking care of me. Such fate is not easy after all. This place is far away from the capital. I think it may not be easy in the future.

I saw him, so I came here to say goodbye."

Lin Jue stopped thinking and couldn't help but sit up straighter.

Although they had not been together for a long time, Taoist Qingxuan's words and tone gave people the feeling that at this moment, this matter seemed to be more important than the battle between gods.

This is the importance people these days place on fate and friendship.
