Chapter 193

Dharma Master Yun Chan heard that they were interested in the Gathering Ju Ju Xian Fu, so he didn't spare his words and introduced it in detail:

"Starting from the You Dynasty, the founding prime minister established the Gathering Ju Ju Xian Fu, meaning to gather strange people and scholars from all over the world to help the imperial court subdue demons and eliminate evil.

"By the previous dynasty, the founding emperor's style was unmatched, and he felt that relying on the imperial court and the army alone could punish demons and deter people outside the Buddhist and Daoist circles, so he did not set up the Gathering Ju Ju Xian Fu. It wasn't until the empress of the previous dynasty restarted the Gathering Ju Ju Xian Fu, but it only collected some strange people who were good at theatrical arts to perform for entertainment.

"In the early years of this dynasty, it was about half and half; there were those who could subdue demons and eliminate evil, and those who were good at theatrical arts and even other spells.

"However, the capital is an ancient capital of three dynasties, and the Gathering Ju Ju Xian Fu also inherited from the You Dynasty. It is said that the prime minister of the Great You was an immortal who descended to earth. In my opinion, even if it's not true, he must have been a true person with great cultivation. Therefore, there are often rare books in the Gathering Ju Ju Xian Fu, which is also the reason why some practitioners are willing to go and serve."

Lin Jue listened silently and pondered secretly.

It sounds like a good place to settle down in the capital and facilitate the collection of spells.

There is no reason why the predecessors of the Fuqiu Temple didn't know about such a place. Many of those predecessors who didn't practice in fixed Daoist temples or shrines after descending the mountain probably ate imperial grain in this Gathering Ju Ju Xian Fu. I don't know if they left any reputation.

Dharma Master Yun Chan really came to visit them.

Perhaps out of respect for practitioners who are willing and able to eliminate evil gods, perhaps out of sympathy for people who have the same heart for the people, he came to visit. The intention was simple, and there was no deliberate social climbing or other interest exchanges. The next day, he left.

Only four people were left in the Daoist temple, which was extremely quiet.

The weather slowly turned cold.

It was all the fault of several autumn rains, each colder than the last.

Lin Jue was in the room, carefully counting the silver.

The fox lay beside him, resting its chin on the bed, blinking its eyes and staring at him.

"Whoosh..."

A burst of white smoke emerged from the wooden carving and turned into a big-headed ghost, the process was very smooth.

At this time, the silver-eating ghost had full cheeks, a rosy complexion, and its arms and legs were also fleshy. After coming out, it stared straight at the silver in Lin Jue's hand.

Lin Jue counted out about twenty taels and handed it to the silver-eating ghost.

"Take it and eat."

"Thank you, True Person!"

The silver-eating ghost took it immediately.

It quietly glanced at the remaining silver, looking like there was still more than ten taels left, and couldn't help but sink its heart.

Lin Jue was also a bit worried.

At this time, almost all the money on Lin Jue was obtained in Cuiwei County. Since arriving in Cuiwei County, he had maintained the feeding of twenty taels of silver to the silver-eating ghost every month, obtaining two spiritual essence pills, one for himself and one for the fox, and the expenses were terribly high.

If there were no silver-eating ghost, more than ten or twenty taels of silver would have been enough for them to use for a long time, but at this time, there were only more than ten taels of silver left, and he had already started to worry.

Lin Jue couldn't help but smile, put away the silver, looked at the silver-eating ghost eating silver like candy beans, and asked:

"I would like to ask you about some things."

The silver-eating ghost heard this and immediately put down the silver in its hand:

"True Person, please ask!"

"No need for that, you continue to eat, let's just chat." Lin Jue paused. "Since you are a famous creation of the Dao of pills and have lived for thousands of years, I wonder if you know some pill formulas?"

"Pill formulas? Is the True Person interested in pursuing the Dao of pills?"

"I have no such intention, but my senior brother is devoted to the Dao of pills and has some attainments in this field." Lin Jue said. "It's just that our Fuqiu Temple is not an orthodox inheritance of the Dao of pills. It's a pity that his heart for seeking the Dao and his natural talent are lacking in pill formulas."

"So that's it!"

The silver-eating ghost hurriedly swallowed the broken silver in its mouth and recalled:

"Although I am a creation of the Dao of pills, I don't refine pills, nor do I like the Dao of pills. However, having lived for so many years, I have heard of a few good pill formulas. It's just that, firstly, I only know the pill formulas and the general refining methods, not the detailed secrets, and secondly, I have to think carefully, and I don't know if there will be any mistakes."

"No problem, you can think slowly after you finish eating."

As long as there is a pill formula, Lin Jue doesn't lack detailed secrets, and as long as it is recorded in the ancient book, he has the ability to distinguish true from false.

Not long after, twenty taels of silver were eaten by the silver-eating ghost, and it also sat beside Lin Jue, carefully recalling:

"The few pill formulas I have an impression of, the simpler ones include the Giant Spirit Pill, which can enhance physique and increase strength after eating, and the Jin Guang Pill, which can stimulate the supernatural power of golden light protection for a period of time after eating. Both are such that the better the pill is refined, the better the effect."

Lin Jue was surprised to hear this.

He knew about this Giant Spirit Pill.

He still remembered that when the Second Third Third Shixiong first saw the "fake Giant Spirit Pill" they obtained, which was rubbed from the dregs of real Giant Spirit Pill medicine, he had said that this kind of pill was not easy to refine, but in the mouth of the silver-eating ghost, it was just a simpler pill?

It is worthy of being a creation of a great power of the Dao of pills, with a very high vision.

Then he heard the silver-eating ghost continue:

"The more difficult ones include the Spiritual Essence Pill, which is, which is what the True Person often eats; there is also the Youth-Preserving Pill spat out by the gold-swallowing ghost, which can keep women young forever if taken regularly, but it must be a virgin to have an effect, otherwise it must be taken with other pills.

"The even more difficult ones include the Fish-Transforming Pill and the Crane-Making Pill, which can turn people into swimming fish and cranes after eating. The better the pill is refined, the longer the time.

"The most difficult, the most difficult is the unique golden pill of the great power of the Dao of pills who created me, the Divine Splendor Resurrection Jin Dan, which at first could make people become immortals on the spot. Later, although it lost the effect of becoming an immortal on the spot, it could also make people come back to life from the dead.

"That's all I remember for now."

When talking about the Resurrection Jin Dan at the end, it was obviously a bit hesitant, but it still said it.

"Jin Dan? Come back to life from the dead?" Lin Jue couldn't help but be surprised.

This silver-eating ghost actually hid an ancient golden pill formula in its brain?

But it sounds like a golden pill formula that has already fallen into the mortal world.

"I dare not deceive the True Person, it can indeed make people come back to life from the dead." The silver-eating ghost said honestly. "If a person is already dead, as long as there is a body or soul, if the body is there, put the pill into the body's mouth, or cut it open and put it into the stomach. If the soul is there, let the soul come to absorb the pill. Within three days, it will definitely be resurrected. If the Resurrection Jin Dan is taken before a person dies, within a few days, even if the soul flies away and the body is destroyed, it can be reborn somewhere in the world, but it may not have cultivation."

"It's actually like this..."

Lin Jue was even more surprised after listening.

Is this the supernatural power of a great power?

The more he came into contact with the Dao of pills, the more he could understand what the Second Third Third Shixiong had said—

Before the birth of the Spiritual Law Sect, all practitioners in the world were of the Pill Cauldron Sect. Whether it was becoming an immortal or longevity, prolonging life or returning to youth, no matter what ability was obtained, it was completed through refining pills and taking pills. It can be said that every kind of pill is a kind of supernatural power.

This golden pill is the "supernatural power" of that great power.

Resurrection from the dead, recreating life, it is truly worthy of the word great power.

At the same time, thinking about it this way, those "golden pills" of ancient times, besides making people become immortals, mostly had their own effects. Until they fell into the mortal world and no longer had the effect of making people become immortals, they still had their original effects, and these effects were still extraordinary.

Like this Divine Splendor Resurrection Jin Dan, it can make people come back to life from the dead.

Like the Four Directions Five Elements Jin Dan gifted to him by Jun Niangniang Yao Hua, it fits the Spiritual Law Sect, and even if it falls into the mortal world, it can help people become true and attain the Dao, stabilizing cultivation and understanding the spiritual aura of the four directions and five elements.

"The main material of the Giant Spirit Pill is the Huai wood, the longer the years, the more sufficient the spiritual aura, the better..."

The silver-eating ghost began to tell.

Lin Jue also picked up his pen and dipped it in ink, and began to write.

He had already known about the Giant Spirit Pill and the Spiritual Essence Pill, and had already written them down.

But it doesn't matter if he writes it again.

The fox leaned over to watch him write.

This is a farewell gift for the Second Third Third Shixiong, and also a return gift for him.

In the blink of an eye, another period of time passed. The evil god here had been eliminated, and the famine was slowly improving. Although the Second Third Third Shixiong was still refining famine-relief pills, it was no longer the business of a few people.

It was time to say goodbye.

Several people packed their luggage and put it on the donkey's back or the horse's back, and the cart had already been sold.

"Old Second, Old Second, I also wanted to accompany you for a while longer, but the weather is getting colder and colder. If I wait any longer, I can only wait until next spring to travel." The Third Third Third Shixiong said to the Second Third Third Shixiong while leading the horse. "The place you live is too remote, no one comes here at all. You have to find a way to get to know some people in the city, so it will be easy to send letters to the other junior brothers and sisters."

"We'll talk when I have time."

"Remember to buy a donkey."

"Where are you going first?" The Second Third Third Shixiong asked.

"The remaining Daoist temple is outside the capital, so naturally we are going to the capital. However, the Junior Third Shixiong is very interested in the cave mansion of Jun Niangniang Yao Hua in Qingyan County and wants to go and see it. It just so happens that Qingyan County is between here and the capital, um, I guess it's a detour, so we'll go and see it."

"Don't say any more, let's go."

"Oh, this place of yours..."

The Third Third Third Shixiong couldn't help but look around at this Daoist temple again, rarely showing an anxious expression: "I don't even know what you eat every day."

"I have famine-relief pills."

"Is that thing for people to eat?"

"I will grow vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks."

The two chatted for a few words, and Lin Jue walked forward, still handing an envelope to the Second Third Third Shixiong:

"Third Third Shixiong, take care."

"You too." The Second Third Third Shixiong said to Lin Jue and the junior sister. "If you feel that the outside is not good, come back and find us. If you need any help, think of a way to entrust someone to bring a letter to find us."

"Noted."

"Noted!"

The two took their luggage and led the donkey toward the outside of the mountain. The fox and the colorful raccoon looked back at the Second Third Third Shixiong and followed.

At that time, eight people went down the mountain together, walking on the mountain path, and could form a long line; walking on the official road, they were also a large group when scattered. Plus the luggage, two donkeys, and the fox running up and down, it also had a feeling of being vast and mighty. Now only three people were left.

The sound of bells jingled and gradually went far away.

Only then did the Second Third Third Shixiong open the envelope and take out the first letter paper to look.

It was the Junior Third Shixiong's handwriting—

"I am very reluctant to part with you, Third Third Shixiong.

"A few years on the mountain, half a year down the mountain, Third Third Shixiong taught me many things, and I really have nothing to repay you.

"Knowing that Third Third Shixiong likes refining pills and yearns for the Dao of pills, I happened to get some pill formulas and felt that Third Third Shixiong might be interested, so I attached them below. There is also a spell that can exhale cold air, which might be helpful for controlling temperature, water, fire, and yin and yang when refining pills. I also wrote it down and left it for Third Third Shixiong.

"Perhaps Third Third Shixiong can use the Dao of pills to become true and attain the Dao.

"I hope there will be a day when we meet again."

The Second Third Third Shixiong put away the letter paper and looked below.

It was indeed several pill formulas.

Among them, the most ordinary ones were strange pill formulas like the Giant Spirit Pill and the Spiritual Essence Pill. If you say they are rare, there is even an ancient Divine Splendor Resurrection Jin Dan.

The Second Third Third Shixiong laughed.

It was not unexpected.

"Without Old Second and Old Seventh, I suddenly feel much lighter." The Third Third Third Shixiong finally rode his horse, walking swayingly, and sometimes running for a while.

On the contrary, because Lin Jue and the junior sister didn't have a cart, the donkey had to be used to carry luggage, especially Lin Jue, who had to lead the donkey and walk. The junior sister had less luggage and could have carried it and ridden the donkey, but seeing the Third Third Shixiong walking, she followed suit.

The famine at the foot of the mountain was indeed a little better.

The three passed through Langfeng County, passed by the original temple of the Green Seedling God, and saw people busy in the temple. After going over, they found that it was a local craftsman, ordered to change the original Green Seedling God statue to the statue of the Holy-Protecting Husheng Husheng Zhenjun.

The Green Seedling God temple was also changed to the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun temple.

However, because of the handwriting left by Lin Jue and the Third Third Third Shixiong in the cave temple, some people also made a statue of the Eastern Qing Hua Di, preparing to set it up in the side hall.

The three looked at each other, exchanged their hearts, but their footsteps didn't stop.

Qingyan County ahead was a bit remote, with no famous mountains or scenic spots, no special products or trade, and not many pedestrians.

Several people asked for directions all the way.

It was fine when other senior brothers were there. On the road, they might make some plans, where to rest, where to eat, and they would ask clearly. Now that only the Third Third Third Shixiong was left, he didn't care about anything and didn't ask anything, walking wherever he went.

It was like going to the Great Offering at Mingzhou Mountain before.

This Third Third Third Shixiong is unreliable; walking and walking, he didn't know where he had walked.

It just so happened that the weather was getting colder and colder, and sometimes it would rain. Sleeping in the wilderness was no longer a good choice.

"Third Third Third Shixiong, are we really walking toward Qingyan County?" The junior sister asked.

"Definitely! Don't worry!" After the Third Third Third Shixiong answered decisively, he added, "Even if it's not, it's still within Qinzhou. Anyway, you guys have nothing to do, where is not going, which road is not walking?"

"It's going to rain tonight." Lin Jue looked up and felt the humidity in the air.

This is also what the Second Third Third Shixiong taught him, an ability in the Dao of pills.

Because the refining of some pills depends on the weather.

"Hmm? Is that so?"

"Third Third Third Shixiong, there are no houses here." The junior sister looked left and right. "We haven't seen any houses for a while."

The fox heard this, aimed at a high place, jumped lightly, and soared up.

Stepping on the high place in one step, and stepping on the tree top in another.

It stood steadily on the top of the tree where birds would shake even if they landed, looked around, and lowered its head to call out.

"What did it say?" The Third Third Third Shixiong asked.

"It said it didn't see any signs of people." Lin Jue said.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Didn't you learn the ability to talk to wild beasts and birds from the Fourth? You find a bird or beast in the mountains, like the Fourth did last time, and ask where you can borrow a place to stay, isn't that enough?"

"That's fine too."

This is also a way.

It's just that since it's asking for directions and not so urgent, naturally there is no reason to use a spell to summon someone to ask for directions.

Lin Jue looked left and right, saw a few sparrows standing on the reeds not far away, and walked over.
