The mountain road was steep, making it difficult for the stone horse to walk, and there were branches blocking the path above, so Lin Jue had no choice but to come down and walk.

Gradually we approach the view of red leaves on the top of the mountain.

Brush it!

A white shadow flashes in the forest!

The fox jumped back, became a little bigger, held a small stone in its mouth, placed it at Lin Jue's feet, and tilted its head to look at him.

Lin Jue looked down and turned with his feet at the same time. He saw a smooth stone sculpture, about the size of a palm, and could vaguely see the outline of a cat.

"What is this?"

Lin Jue withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward.

Go up a few steps and you'll reach the chain bridge.

Opposite is the view of falling red leaves in the snow.

I remember that the mountains here were green in the spring and summer, and colorful again in the autumn and winter. Now the mountains are covered with snow forests, and snow has fallen on the tile roofs of the ancient temples, which is undoubtedly a different charm.

On the opposite side of the chain bridge, a colorful civet cat was already looking at them. When it saw it was them, it ran to the bridge to greet them.

"This is it." Lin Jue turned around and said to the two stone horses, "Although this palace is not as big as the Star Observation Palace, there is a spiritual energy in the mountain. Although my junior sister is not a god, she still has the right to practice.

Due to the true way of cultivation, and the fact that we have always acted with a clear conscience, this place will not be contaminated with any slander, so it is a good place for pure cultivation."

The stone horse was silent and said nothing.

The colorful raccoon on the bridge raised its head and stared at them without saying a word, while the fox had already taken small steps towards it and ran towards it.

The two little ones were jumping around in the air, like lions dancing.

Only Lin Jue still stood there: "It's just that this cable bridge has been in disrepair for a long time, and I'm afraid it can't bear your weight. If you are willing to settle down and practice here, you can only do it on this side of the bridge."

As soon as the words fell, the two stone horses moved their steps, turned around, turned their backs to the palace, faced the road down the mountain, and stood on both sides of the chain bridge, one on the left and the other on the right.

It's actually quite neat.

Lin Jue took a closer look——

Snow has fallen on the iron cable bridge, and snow has also fallen on the back of the stone horse. The iron cable bridge and the palace behind it are both a bit old, and the stone horse also has traces of wind, frost, rain and snow on its body. It looks unexpectedly harmonious. Those who don't know may think it.

The pair of stone horses are here, and they belong to this palace.

"Go this way!"

The little ghost appeared again, pointing to the chain bridge.

"knew."

Lin Jue then packed up his luggage and walked towards the bridge. He turned to the stone horse behind him and said, "You can practice here. You can also run in the mountains. Wind, frost, rain and snow, the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon. All these things are here."

There is no shortage. But you can no longer fly around the city."

Shi Ma didn't respond, and Lin Jue also stepped onto the bridge.

After walking across the chain bridge, Lin Jue saw that in the open space outside the Taoist temple, on the edge of the cliff, there was a row of stone sculptures, which seemed to be used as railings. There was even a circle of stone sculptures placed under the pine tree, as if a tree was circled.

of flower beds.

There are many types of stone carvings, mainly cats and dogs, as well as clouded leopards and tigers. From left to right, they only have a rough outline at first, but then they become more and more impressive and charming.

With a creak, the door of a closet opened.

A female Taoist wearing thick clothes stood at the door and stared at them.

"Senior brother is here?"

After hearing this, Lin Jue looked away from the stone carvings and asked with a smile: "When did junior sister start making stone carvings?"

"It's cold in the mountains, and there's nothing to do except practice, so I have to get some rocks to play with." The junior sister replied, "It's not stone carvings, I touched them with my hands."

When Lin Jue heard this, he suddenly laughed.

For a moment, I remembered what the senior brothers said when we were on the mountain. Taoists practice in the mountains. Once you start practicing, you will have a lot of leisure. Therefore, in addition to magic, you must have something to pass the time.

He also remembered when his junior sister asked him why other senior brothers had hobbies but she didn't.

Wasn’t this also found?

The best way to tell time is often change. This scene seemed to remind Lin Jue that so much time had passed without him realizing it.

Lin Jue shook his head: "Just in time, Junior Sister fell in love with stone sculptures, and I also brought Junior Sister two friends, who are exactly two stone sculptures."

"What?"

The junior sister followed his gaze.

I saw that the sky and the earth were completely white. There seemed to be some changes on the other side of the chain bridge, but there seemed to be no changes. After a closer look, I realized that there were two more stone sculptures.

It's just that they blend properly with the scenery of heaven and earth and are so integrated that they are not noticed at first glance.

"They were two stone horses. They were originally in the capital, but later they couldn't stay in the capital any longer. They ran wild outside and often ran rampant on the streets of the city. I subdued them a few days ago." Lin Jue said, "Now I'm going to kill them.

Place it here with Junior Sister."

"Stone horse? Can it run?"

Junior sister pointed there blankly.

"I don't know if it's due to the aura of the capital, or it's been too long, drenched in wind, frost, rain, snow, and soaked in the essence of the sun and moon. They have acquired spirituality and become spirits. Not only can they run, but they can also run very fast." Lin Jue said,

"If Junior Sister has to go on a journey one day, ask them to help. They can run much faster than a paper donkey, but they are a little more noisy and bumpy. If nothing happens, let them practice here. Don't say anything else, even if they just stand there,

It is also a decoration for the Taoist temple."

"..."

The junior sister's eyes were wide open, with a gleam in them. She looked at Lin Jue and then at the two stone horses on the opposite side of the chain bridge. She seemed to want to see how the stone horses run and ride on them to experience it.

"besides--"

Lin Jue said to her again:

"I also made acquaintance with a Taoist fellow from Bailu. From now on, if my junior sister has anything to say to me, or asks me to buy something in the capital, but is too lazy to go there in person or ask someone to carry the letter, she can ask this person.

A fellow Taoist egret helps junior sister bring me letters, and it will come to visit junior sister from time to time. I can also sometimes ask it to bring letters to junior sister."

When he said this, an egret flew down lightly and landed on the cedar.

Caili raised his head and stared intently.

The younger junior sister also looked up and couldn't help but said: "It would be good to learn how to gather animals and regulate birds."

"In the future, if we go to Second Senior Brother and let Fellow Taoist Egret find the way, we can also ask it to carry messages between us and Second Senior Brother," Lin Jue said.

"Senior brother, you are thoughtful!"

"Um……"

Lin Jue stepped into the Taoist Temple's Moving Mountain Hall and offered three sticks of incense to his ancestor. Then he turned around. Sure enough, his junior sister was right behind him, with her back to him. She poked her head around and looked outside at the other side of the chain bridge.

Stone horse.

It seems that she is really interested in this.

Lin Jue smiled and asked with concern for her: "How is junior sister doing alone in the mountains?"

"oh!"

When the junior sister heard this, she immediately turned around and became serious for a moment, as if someone was checking her homework.

“It’s going well!”

"What's okay?"

“It’s just good!”

"What do you do every day?"

"Every day? I practice meditation, practice spells, practice the original spells, and practice the wood escape method that my senior brother taught me, feed chickens, feed cats, and grow vegetables." The little junior sister answered carefully.

"Is there nothing else? What do you eat every day?"

"There is nothing to do on the mountain. It's very cold. It's more boring than on Fuqiu Peak. There's no one cooking, so I just eat eggs and porridge every day." The junior sister scratched her head and asked, "Senior brother, are you in the capital?"

"It's almost the same. Everyday practice, learning spells, understanding spells, carving bean soldiers, it's pretty much the same as on Fuqiu Peak." Lin Jue also said, "Fortunately, I have Luo Gong. When I have free time every day, I also cook one or two meals together.

Eat, if it weren't for Luo Gong, I would be alone with Fuyao, and I probably wouldn't be too lazy to cook."

"oh……"

The little junior sister breathed a sigh of relief, took another breath, and looked at him quietly: "Senior brother, have you finished carving the bean soldiers?"

"It's early."

"Then...what spells did you learn?"

"I'm learning about the art of controlling objects."

"The art of controlling objects..."

"I haven't realized it yet, but I will soon."

In fact, Lin Jue also took the time to learn the Sun Spirit Fire and Returning Wind Techniques, because one of these two spells is a variant of the Fire Technique, and the other is also closely related to Breathing Wind, so he learned it very quickly.

But the wall-partitioning technique took a little more time.

But he didn't say it.

The junior sister is more cautious and unwilling to lag behind. He is afraid of irritating her. When the time comes, he will practice hard on the mountain alone and no one will know that he is exhausted on the mountain.

"Senior brother, where are the sauerkraut you made for me?"

"I haven't done it yet." Lin Jue said, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I just came to ask you to go to the capital to celebrate the New Year. It's too cold in the mountains."

"Going to the capital? Okay!" The junior sister agreed without hesitation, but then she was stunned again, "What about the chickens I feed?"

"Save the food well, it won't freeze to death."

"oh……"

"Have you written a letter to your senior brothers?"

"I want to write it, but I haven't. I'll wait for my senior brother to write it together."

"I guess that's the case." Lin Jue said to her again, "Master Fan Tian found a spirit for me that can help us deliver letters to several senior brothers, but it can't be delivered to Fuqiu Peak. So we have to wait until senior brother.

After next spring, I will ask a businessman from Huizhou who is passing by to deliver it. As for the other brothers, you can send it after you write the letter."

"Senior brother, did you write it?" the little junior sister said without hesitation, "show me what he wrote!"

"Didn't write it."

"Show me when you write!"

"Write whatever you want."

"Let me see what senior brother writes first!"

"Go pack your things."

"You agreed?"

"Nothing..."

It is rare to hear more than a few words in a Taoist temple deep in the mountains.

Not long after, the junior sister locked the Taoist temple, and the two senior brothers and sisters went down the mountain again.

After crossing the chain bridge, the junior sister circled the stone horse several times, her eyes full of curiosity, but they did not ride the stone horse, but the paper donkey.

The news of Lin Jue's surrender of the stone horse has spread in the capital. If he rides the stone horse back to the capital, he is afraid that the Star Gazing Palace will come to him to ask for it, and there will be a lot of arguing whether to give it to him or not, so he is too lazy to bother.

Then he saw a donkey swaying on a windy and snowy mountain road, and two people dressed in Taoist robes headed for the capital.

"Brother, here it is."

The junior sister handed over a boiled egg, which was already cold.

"What?"

"Dinner for Xiaohua and I."

Then she peeled the eggs and said to Lin Jue: "Brother, you are alone in the capital, haven't you been bullied by anyone?"

"It's snowy, stop talking."

"oh……"

But when we arrived in the capital, things were obviously different from what the junior sister had imagined.

Of the two neighbors in the courtyard, Master Fan Tian was very polite to his senior brother. Pan Gong, who was rumored to have a bad temper, was even more respectful. He even heard that this female Taoist was the man who killed the Dragon King by the Weishui River.

One of the two female Taoists also became respectful to her.

The little junior sister only feels...

Senior brother is looking for two Taoist brothers in the capital?

Even when the two of them were walking through the streets of the capital city, some people bowed their hands to the senior brother and saluted him from afar, saying that he was the real person.

The junior sister is a little dull.

I knew that my senior brother was living well in the capital, but I didn't know that my senior brother was living so well in the capital.
