The scholar felt strange, but he also bowed to him.

Lin Jue also nodded and returned the salute:

The two sides passed by each other.

I don't know if these two people can get a nod from "Empress Yaohua", but the nod from "Empress Yaohua" and the nod from the man in red are completely different.

The man in Zhuyi is a spirit who wanders around the examination room and likes poetry and articles. When he nods, he has already read the candidates' answer sheets and the candidates have already finished writing them. But if the "Empress of Yaohua" nods, or other deductions are made,

Even if the calculation person gives the results, it may have an impact on the candidates who answer the exam in advance. It may make the candidates frustrated and decadent, make the candidates full of confidence, or make the candidates slack and tired.

There were too many changes in the middle.

Therefore, whether you can pass the exam or not depends on yourself.

Just like Lin Jue, the same thing - if this "Empress of Yaohua" tells him that there is no danger this time, but he can't be careless because of this. If he is relaxed, danger may come to his door. If it is "Empress of Yaohua"

Tell yourself that this is very dangerous, and don't be too worried because of it.

As a result, I am tied up and unable to perform at my best.

It must be adopted with discretion and considered appropriately.

Therefore, such a vague reminder may be better. Perhaps this is also the consideration of this "Empress of Yaohua".

Lin Jue returned to the lake, where Fellow Taoist Egret was still waiting.

The fox kept her words and did not become smaller, allowing Fellow Taoist Egret to continue carrying her. Instead, she grew a little bigger so that she could carry this small bag and walk in the wind.

Lin Jue flew to the capital alone on an egret.

The huge and prosperous city appeared below. Every street and alley, the shops and people on the streets were clearly visible, and it was very lively.

Compared with the clean, uninhabited and beautiful mountains, it was like two completely different worlds in the same world. Only then did I feel that half a year on the mountain in front of me was like a dream.

Lin Jue shook his head and threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind.

With a quick glance, I saw the Taoist temple outside the city. In this afternoon, there was no smoke rising at all.

The egret turned around and flew towards Zhenjian Palace.

A moment later, a little Taoist priest in the Zhenjian Palace was sweeping the floor. The broom made a clear rustling sound when it rubbed against the ground. It was soothing. Suddenly he raised his head.

But I saw an egret flying slowly above the blue sky.

The egret flapped its wings and landed lightly on the courtyard wall. A figure jumped down from its back and turned into a Taoist priest when it landed.

"who?"

The little Taoist priest was startled, then realized what he was doing, put down his broom, and saluted quickly:

"Oh! But Brother Lin Dao from Fuqiu Temple?"

"Exactly!" Lin Jue returned the salute and looked at his face. He must have just come from Xuantian Temple in Qiyun Mountain, so he asked, "Where is Fellow Daoist Jiang?"

"Senior Brother Jiang has left, and other senior brothers have also gone to the northwest. I just left at noon today, and now I am the only one left in the Taoist temple." The little Taoist priest said to him, "Senior Brother Jiang said before leaving, Brother Dao Lin

Maybe you will come to the temple today and ask me to tell you that the young Taoist priest must have been practicing Taoism for a short time. Just like Junior Brother Ma back then, he still feels a little afraid of these monsters. Even when he talks about it, he feels like he is talking about gods.

It's a big deal, so I'm worried.

Halfway through, his mouth felt dry and he had to swallow a mouthful of saliva before he could continue:

"Two things happened in Qinzhou recently:

"One thing is in the northwest. The Leopard King, who had been dormant for a year, came out to cause trouble again and robbed many villagers. He probably wanted to use these villagers as blood food to restore their vitality or to raise generals again.

"Second, in the northeast, the always low-key Queen Mother of the East suddenly became public and preached aggressively in Yunmeng County. She even sent the 'Longevity Document' to the capital, saying that if you hold the document and believe in the Queen of East, you can live forever. Already

Some ministers secretly collected it. In the northeast of Qinzhou, officials and people no longer worshiped the imperial court, but only worshiped the Queen Mother of the East.

"Both incidents have shocked the capital. Senior Brother Jiang said that Brother Lin Dao should decide where to go."

After the little Taoist priest finished speaking, he stood still.

"Two things—."

Lin Jue murmured to himself, but did not make a decision at this time, nor did he inform the little Taoist priest. He only saluted and said "goodbye", then got on the egret again and flew into the sky.

In the small courtyard, Mr. Luo was reading a letter with his head down.

Seemingly noticing something, he raised his head and saw an egret flying back from the sky and landing on the crabapple tree.

Another white fox carrying a bag came back over the wall.

"Did Mr. Luo also burn the Chen Niu Talisman and ask me to come back?" After Lin Jue landed, he took a closer look and was surprised, "What is Mr. Luo looking at?"

"Letter from home."

Duke Luo put away the letter in his hand, stood up and said:

'I didn't burn it because I knew that Taoist priest Jiang in the Zhenjian Palace outside the city had burnt it. She first asked the Taoist priest from Guanzhong to come to the courtyard to look for you. After confirming that you were not there, she informed me and said that you also asked her to help and pay attention.

Regarding the monster in the northwest, it saves the two of us from burning a Chen Niu Talisman."

"I see."

"Recently, two monsters in Qinzhou seemed to have agreed upon an agreement, and they started causing trouble at the same time. One was robbing and devouring the people, and the other was preaching and causing harm to Chao Gang.

Both the court and the central government have issued orders to invite strangers from the Juxian Mansion to deal with them, and they are even preparing to send troops to Yunmeng County." Luo Gong turned to look at him and said, "Today at noon, Wu Lingshi from the Ministry of Rites and the eunuchs from the palace

I just came to see you and said that if "Master Lin" can get rid of one of them, he will give you a thousand taels of gold, ten husks of pearls, chariots, horses, jade, and beautiful servants. From now on, you can treat him with the courtesy of a state master."

As he spoke, he laughed and said, "Now that the imperial court is decayed and in turmoil, the palace has finally become anxious."

In Lin Jue's ears, the words "golden thousand taels" were the most beautiful.

Among the golden elixirs, this medicine is missing.

"I stopped by Zhenjian Palace on the way here. I've heard about it." Lin Jue frowned, "Where do you think we should go, Mr. Luo?"

"This is a monster matter, and it should be decided by the Taoist priest." Mr. Luo shook his head and looked at the family letter in his hand. "In the past few years, I have been traveling in the capital. This year, Luo's family has sent eight letters from home in a row, urging me to go home. Now Luo

The dream of the capital city when I was young is over. With the removal of this monster by the Taoist priest, my dream of chivalry is also over. It’s time to go home. "

"Mr. Luo is leaving too——"

"Is there such a thing as a never-ending feast?" Luo Gong said freely and casually, "Don't worry, we will see you again in the future."

"Too."

Lin Jue was already prepared for this.

Luo Gong had great ambitions. When he came to the capital, he also wanted to serve the country and win a name with his martial arts. However, he finally found that the imperial court had long been decayed and could no longer be supported.

But how could a person like him be useless without the imperial court?

Perhaps leaving the capital was his beginning.

How many such influential figures and heroes are there in the world? Although the world is big, there are few heroes. They are all like stars in the dark night. Even if they are scattered in all directions, how can they not meet each other?

Lin Jue thought for a moment, left the small courtyard and went to Fan Tianshi's courtyard.

There was a burst of incense.

Lin Jue walked to Fan Tianshi's courtyard and found that he was worshiping a statue in a room.

This is a clay statue of a god. The color is peeling off and the surface is mottled. You can't tell who it is, but he placed it in the middle of the altar. The incense burner in front of him is filled with burned incense bamboo sticks. There are many kinds of tributes below. I want to see this statue.

It has always been worshiped sincerely.

"Whose statue is this?"

"Brother Taoist is back?" Fan Tianshi turned around and shook his head with a wry smile, "It's embarrassing to say that even a poor Taoist doesn't know."

"Then why did fellow Taoist offer it?"

"It's a long story." Fan Tianshi said, "Back then, a poor Taoist was living in the northwest. He accidentally encountered a big demon searching the mountains to eat people. He accidentally hid in a ruined temple. The statues in the temple were all dilapidated. Only this

A statue of a god still managed to maintain its appearance, without any severed hands or heads.

The poor man offered incense and prayed to him."

Fan Tianshi said and squatted down, his eyes shining brightly:

"It was that night when the great demon arrived in front of the temple. He was the former number one general under the Leopard King Demon. All he saw was a flash of lightning, like the light of a sword.

The demon general and many demon soldiers were all wiped out."

"I see."

Lin Jue thought of the rumored story about Fan Tianshi inviting divine soldiers and generals to get rid of the great demon.

It turns out it started here.

To be able to kill a demon general and many demon soldiers with one sword is something that an ordinary god general cannot do. He must be a true king in the sky.

But when Lin Jue looked carefully, he couldn't tell who this person was, considering that he had seen so many statues of gods.

However, a mud pillar can be seen from the left side of the mottled and peeling statue. It should have been a long sword. It can be determined that it is probably a martial god. Lin Jue did not think too much and only asked Fan Tianshi about the "East Queen Mother"

.

"The Queen Mother of the East is quite mysterious and has always kept a low profile. Although I am from the north, I don't know much about her. I only know that although she has the teaching of "Follow me and you will live forever, and go against me and you will get disaster", I don't know much about her.

They have always preached and not harmed anyone. Even the strange people who went to the northeast to slay demons, most of them

They all returned in vain, with themselves intact." Upon hearing this, Fan Tianshi knew that he was here to eliminate demons, so he said in detail, "But there are rumors in the world that the Queen Mother of the East is better than the Leopard King.

It is much higher. The Leopard King only dares to go west, south and north, but dare not go east."

Lin Jue nodded after hearing this.

Indeed, it is rare to hear that the "East Queen Mother" harms people. Even in the northeast of Qinzhou, most people don't know that there is such a monster called the East Queen Mother. They only know that there is such a fairy.

Pan Gong once said that the Queen Mother of the East might have become enlightened, and both the Leopard King and the Dragon King were taboo on her.

But when he heard the word longevity, Lin Jue couldn't help but ask:

"Can you really live forever?"

"The Queen Mother of the East will issue a document called the 'Order of Immortality' to believers. Anyone who wears it and never loses it will have eternal life." Fan Tianshi said, "In the northeast of Qinzhou, there are several people who lived in the past.

Now the "immortals" have become the elders of the Immortality Sect."

"I see."

I don’t know what kind of immortality magic this is.

If I get a document, I wonder if the ancient book will have any reaction?

"A few days ago, Queen Mother Dong sent three documents to the capital, asking the princes in the capital to believe in her. It is said that they were all destroyed as evil spirits. But as far as Pindao knows, none of them were really destroyed. Only those

Everyone has hidden it,

I don’t know where I am." Fan Tianshi said, "The Queen Mother of the East also built a square platform in Yunmeng County to recruit disciples. It is said that as long as you go there, anyone with high power or powerful magic in the world will receive a gift.

'Order of Immortality'."

Looking for talents·

"It can also be said to be recruiting troops."

Um·.··

Lin Jue couldn't help but think deeply.
