Chapter 262: Truly the Wei Shui God

~14 min read 2,707 words

Lin Jue originally wanted to prepare bedding, but Fan Tian Shi Fan was too polite and had already asked the old servant to prepare it for them, and it was sent to the courtyard in the afternoon.

In this way, the courtyard could be lived in immediately.

It saved them some effort.

This made Lin Jue a bit embarrassed, and even Luo Gong couldn't give this liar a cold face anymore.

Then the three went to check out of the inn, led the horses and donkeys in, moved the luggage in, and after adding some things to the empty courtyard, it looked like something.

They lived here today.

Once they lived here, they were quite satisfied with all aspects:

This mansion is very large, with enough space for Daoists to walk, for martial artists to practice martial arts, for foxes to run and jump and dig holes, and they can also go fishing by the lake, sit quietly under the willow trees, and play chess in the pavilion.

There is also a stable to raise horses.

Living in the small courtyard, it is quiet at night and not noisy in the morning, but if you go out of the large courtyard, it is very lively.

When you go out, there is a big street. In the morning, many vendors and porters come, and all kinds of common rice, noodles, vegetables, and meat can be bought. There are also many idlers on the street waiting for errands. If there are other things you want to buy but think it is far, or want to pass a message somewhere, you can also spend a few money to ask them to help run errands.

It is said that it is not easy to live in the capital. Just coming here, he could have such a residence in the capital, although it is not his own, and he lives with two other people, which far exceeded Lin Jue's expectations.

Early the next morning.

Lin Jue sat cross-legged in front of the desk in the quiet room, holding only a handwritten book in his hand.

A slightly strange sound of footsteps came from outside.

Not long after, his junior sister appeared at the door, but she was carrying six large jars, three in each hand, light as nothing, and stopped steadily at the door.

Lin Jue looked up at her, a bit confused:

"Why buy so many jars? Didn't you buy chickens? You can't bring other things, right?"

"I'm not taking them back."

"Not taking them back? Did you buy them for me?"

"Third Third Shixiong, make some pickled vegetables and fill these jars. When I come to the capital next time, I will take them back to the mountain to eat."

"... You're going to eat pickled vegetables every day without cooking, right?"

His junior sister heard this, but just said seriously: "Pickled vegetables are delicious! Cooking is also delicious!"

"Put them here. I'll make them when I'm free. I'm not free these few days," Lin Jue said helplessly, and handed out the book in his hand, "This is the method of wood escape. Originally, I planned to give you a few magical arts, but the others have already been taught to you on the way, and only this one is left."

"Oh."

His junior sister walked in and took the book.

It can be seen that it was paper she cut herself, and it was bound with needles and threads, so it was not cut neatly, and the binding was a bit messy.

Opening it—

It was full of densely written characters.

His junior sister couldn't help but be stunned.

Before, when sending off other senior brothers down the mountain, the envelopes Third Third Shixiong gave them were also filled with such books, right? So many books, I don't know how long he spent writing them at night, so he could finish them.

"Did you only write this one?"

"..."

Lin Jue got up and went back, taking out several books, all of which she had already learned, and gave them to her.

"Many thanks, Third Third Shixiong."

His junior sister said, holding several books.

"Go back to the mountain. It will be the New Year soon. I will go to Maple Mountain to find you then, or if you think the mountain is too cold, you can also come to the capital to see the New Year's Eve in the capital."

"Then I'm leaving."

"You have to walk faster. It will rain in the afternoon."

"Understood."

His junior sister then left.

The colored cat naturally left too.

Luo Gong is a person of the world, naturally has his own things to do, and I don't know where he went.

The courtyard was quiet for a while.

However, knowing that his junior sister was not far away, and he was only temporarily settling down here, Lin Jue didn't feel lonely. Instead, he sat by the door wearing a Daoist robe, watching the little fox in the courtyard jumping up and down, sometimes running to the corner of the wall to find a place suitable for digging a hole, sometimes running to the weeping crabapple tree in the courtyard to sniff around, sometimes jumping on the courtyard wall. The Daoist had a lot of peace in his heart, and felt free.

The wind blew through the eaves, and the chill was thin.

In the afternoon, it really rained.

This mansion is built carefully, and even the eaves of this small courtyard have rain chains, like layers of lotus flowers. The rainwater falls layer by layer along the lotus flowers, making a slight sound, which makes people feel even more calm.

This is a winter rain, which also adds a bit of cold to the capital.

The Daoist still sat by the door without moving.

This kind of weather is not suitable for going out. It should be to light a charcoal fire in the courtyard and carve spirit wood facing the charcoal fire, which is also an elegant thing. However, he didn't do anything, just enjoying the rain here.

"Watching the wind and rain sitting alone.

"Listening to the wind and rain sleeping high."

Lin Jue laughed, and finally got up and closed the door.

The fox didn't know where it picked up a dead branch to play with.

The Daoist picked it up and blew a breath, and small pear blossoms bloomed on it. He inserted it into the vase in the quiet room, which added a bit of color to the room, and his mood also improved a lot.

Lin Jue then sat cross-legged.

He looked left and right to see if the doors and windows were closed, took out a night lamp, lit it and placed it on the right side of the desk, placed ten taels of silver in the middle of the desk, and finally took out a wood carving.

The fox was also on guard in all directions.

"Hoo..."

White smoke appeared on the wood carving, turning into a big-headed ghost.

"Eat."

Lin Jue said to it helplessly.

This is the last bit of silver he has, and the others are copper coins. Not to mention what the Silver-Eating Ghost will eat next month, even he himself has to wait until the Ju Xian Fu issues the salary next month before he has money to eat.

However, thinking that he had a promise to the Silver-Eating Ghost, and Luo Gong who lived with him was also rich, Lin Jue still chose to feed it first.

So he watched it eat here, while thinking about his own affairs in his heart.

Coming to this Ju Xian Fu, if he can learn some magical arts, it is naturally a big gain. Being able to find food for the Silver-Eating Ghost is also a gain. If he can gather more materials for the Golden Core, it will be even more surprising. But for now, he still put "getting the Great Yin-Yang Method and the Five Elements Spiritual Art" in the first place.

Among Daoists in the world, those who practice heaven and earth spiritual arts are the most, and those who practice yin-yang spiritual arts and five elements spiritual arts are fewer.

Heaven and earth spiritual arts are balanced, without many advantages, and without any disadvantages.

Yin-yang spiritual arts are mysterious and long-lived, but there is a distinction between the Great Yin-Yang Method and the Small Yin-Yang Method. The Small Yin-Yang Method practices slowly, so even if it has the effect of prolonging life, it is not easy to attain the truth.

Five elements spiritual arts are good at fighting, and the practice speed is moderate, but it has no help for prolonging life. Unless it is matched with life-prolonging methods such as alchemy, you must have excellent talent to have the possibility of attaining the truth and becoming an immortal.

Therefore, in the past few hundred years, most of the immortals who have attained the truth by spiritual arts are those who practice heaven and earth spiritual arts.

Lin Jue inferred that it is probably because five elements spiritual arts are easier to obtain.

And yin-yang spiritual arts are mostly in deep mountains, and five elements spiritual arts are mostly among loose cultivators in the world. The Ju Xian Fu gathers these loose cultivators, so it should not be difficult to obtain.

He has to ask that Fan Tian Shi Fan.

But that Fan Tian Shi Fan only has a false name, and I don't know if he knows about this...

Not long after, the Silver-Eating Ghost finished eating, thanked him, and returned to the wood carving with satisfaction.

Lin Jue also discarded distracting thoughts, just holding a freshly baked Spirit Origin Pill, swallowed it in one gulp, and then sat cross-legged on the futon and closed his eyes to practice with a calm heart.

Outside the window, it was drizzling, all of which was the sound of rain.

The spiritual rhyme in the capital is mixed, and there is water vapor in the rainy day, but no matter what, at this time, it has become a part of his practice and realization.

A middle-aged man with an unremarkable face walked to the gate of the mansion. He was wearing a coir raincoat but had long been soaked by the rain, wearing a bamboo hat, but water was also dripping on his head. The whole person was like a fisherman and angler by the river, but this fisherman seemed not afraid of rain or cold, with a calm expression, opened the door and entered.

After walking not far after entering the door, he saw a white wall on the side, which was clearly clean, but two lines of characters were abruptly written on the wall, which made him frown.

He knew in his heart that it must be the fox in the courtyard playing tricks again.

"These foxes..."

The man frowned, and his feet and mouth didn't stop:

"I'll clean you up tomorrow!"

Just as he walked to the middle of the mansion and passed the small lake, he saw a figure standing in the pavilion.

It was also a middle-aged man, wearing a Daoist robe, with a thin figure and a beard, quite a bit of immortal style. He stood here for no other reason, it seemed just to enjoy the rain.

"This Daoist..."

The man muttered again in a low voice.

In fact, he also vaguely doubted whether this Fan Tian Shi Fan was as powerful as he boasted. It's just that some skills are really invisible and untestable on weekdays, such as the skills of the Fulu Sect. If you don't really invite gods or heavenly soldiers and generals, no one knows whether it is true or false. Plus, this Daoist's bearing is really extraordinary, so he is a bit unsure.

Last time he provoked him to find the Long Wang, wanting to see if he was worthy of the name, but he didn't expect him to be lucky and run for nothing.

Just as he was thinking, the person seemed to hear footsteps and turned his head, immediately smiling:

"So it is Lord Pan who is back. You haven't been here for these few days, where did Lord Pan go?"

"By the river."

"Isn't that yaoguai king already eliminated? Why hasn't Lord Pan returned to the river?"

"Don't bother the Daoist friend."

"Haha, don't bother, don't bother. Since I happened to meet Lord Pan, I will tell Lord Pan one thing," Fan said. "I don't know if Lord Pan met the people from the Ministry of Rites on the way. Did they tell Lord Pan that we have a new neighbor in our courtyard, living in that small courtyard on the left?"

"The one haunted by foxes?"

"Exactly."

"I'm just going to clean up that fox!"

"Lord Pan, don't be anxious. I haven't told Lord Pan who our new neighbor is." Fan Tian Shi Fan looked at him with a smile, wanting to see his expression.

"Who is it?"

"Surname Lin, name Jue, and his protector. It is the high-ranking person who eliminated the Long Wang by the Wei Shui half a year ago."

"?"

When Lord Pan heard this, his brows were already tightly frowned: "The high-ranking person who eliminated the Long Wang? In the past six months, there have been more than seven or eight people in the entire Ju Xian Fu who have emerged, right?"

"You and I both know that those are all fake," Fan Tian Shi Fan was light and breezy, stroking his beard. "This one is the real one."

"Real?"

"Naturally it is real," Fan said. "Although the Daoist friend didn't tell us why he left the divine position and why he relied on a mortal, I have my own ability, and I can guess it. I am afraid it has something to do with that yaoguai king in the Wei Shui, right? Hehe, I remember the friendship of living together. Half a year ago, I wanted to eliminate that yaoguai king for the Daoist friend, but I didn't expect to be preempted... Alas, counting it this way, the two in the west courtyard are the Daoist friend's true benefactors."

"Let's see!"

Lord Pan didn't believe it and just stepped forward.

Fan Tian Shi Fan was secretly stunned—

Originally, he thought that this person had a bad temper, so don't have a conflict with Daoist Friend Lin without knowing the situation, so he reminded him. Didn't expect that this person wouldn't listen. Don't make a mess of things.

So the middle-aged Daoist also immediately walked along the long corridor.

When walking out of the long corridor, the old servant appeared at the right time, holding a yellow paper umbrella for him to cover the rain.

All the way to the gate of the west courtyard.

I saw a white fox standing under the crabapple tree. The crabapple tree in winter was bare and could not cover the rain, so it was raining in the courtyard, looking up and staring intently at the trunk.

"You fox! Finally appeared..."

Lord Pan only regarded it as the white fox that had been living in the courtyard, and stepped in.

But after only one step, he stopped.

The air was humid and cold, and there was the smell of mud in the water vapor, but it also brought him a little other smell.

That is...

The smell of the Long Wang!

Deng deng deng!

Lord Pan was shocked and took several steps back, exiting the courtyard, and even almost bumped into Fan Tian Shi Fan who came with an umbrella, just looking at the courtyard in shock.

The white fox that was raining freely in the courtyard also heard the movement and couldn't help but turn its head. A pair of eyes were clear and only curious, looking at them.

With a creak, a room door behind opened.

A Daoist wearing a faded and white Daoist robe, across the sky full of pearl rain like a curtain, also looked at the visitor.

Both sides soon knew—

The other party is really the high-ranking person who eliminated the Long Wang;

The other party is really the Wei Shui God. ===== CHAPTER 263 =====
