Chapter 303: Visiting Flower Senior

"Zhenren's great kindness, I am afraid that even being a cow or a horse would not be enough to repay it!"

"No need to talk about other rewards. If your Excellency is willing, you only need to do me a favor on your way next time you return to Huizhou."

"What favor? Zhenren, just say it!"

This Hui merchant immediately looked at Lin Jue, and even the other relatives and friends in the shop looked over.

"I am also from Huizhou." Lin Jue smiled at him, his expression gentle, "I have been away from home for a long time this time and have not brought a letter back. If I use other methods, I am afraid of startling the people at home. Therefore, I would like to ask your Excellency to help me bring two letters on your way next time you return to Huizhou, and also bring some silver money back for me."

"It is the small person's fortune!"

This Hui merchant immediately agreed.

The people around were both surprised and envious.

The brush, ink, paper, and inkstone of Huizhou are the best in the world, and eight or nine out of ten shopkeepers in the Wenbao Workshop are Hui merchants. Therefore, what they were surprised about was that Lin Zhenren, who has had a great reputation in the capital recently, actually also comes from Huizhou.

What they envied was that this shopkeeper had established a relationship with Lin Zhenren.

This is Lin Zhenren, who lives in the same place as Master Fan Tian Shi and has a good friendship with Master Fan Tian Shi, and whose ability sounds almost the same as both sides. Even Master Fan Tian Shi is standing beside him.

They are also willing to deliver this letter.

Lin Jue's letter had already been written, and the silver had also been prepared. He went to the back room of the shop with this shopkeeper surnamed Yan and then told him:

"There are two letters here. One is to be sent to the Wang family head in Heng Village, Hong County. Heng Village is a big village and is easy to find. Everyone in the village is surnamed Wang, so it is also easy to ask for directions."

"The other letter is to be sent to Shu Village, not far from Heng Village. My family lives there. Everyone in Shu Village is surnamed Shu, only my family is surnamed Lin, which is also easy to find. Just ask where the Lin family lives. Please also bring this one hundred taels of silver back for me."

The merchant surnamed Yan took it seriously.

"The small person has been to Hong County for business before and has also been to Heng Village. The Wang family in Heng Village is prominent, and the family head, Old Master Wang, is virtuous and highly esteemed, and does things with style. The small person even went to visit him before. I know how to go."

"That is too good." Lin Jue said, "Your Excellency can go to the Wang family in Heng Village first, and then ask for directions to Shu Village."

"Zhenren, rest assured! It will definitely be delivered!"

"Many thanks."

Lin Jue performed a Daoist salute to him.

"Dare not, dare not." The merchant surnamed Yan instead held the letter and silver money and bowed to him, "It is the small person's fortune."

"Then I won't disturb you."

"Zhenren, do you need brush, ink, paper, or inkstone? They are all top-quality goods produced in the hometown. If you like any, just take them!"

"Haha! No need!"

Lin Jue laughed a few times and walked out of here.

Once the letter was sent, he felt relaxed and in a good mood.

Entrusting someone to deliver a letter is not an easy thing. Lin Jue called Master Fan Tian Shi to go together, or rather, Master Fan Tian Shi took the initiative to accompany him, also wanting to use the name of "Master Fan Tian Shi" to make this matter more convenient.

If an ordinary person entrusts someone to deliver a letter, there is still a risk of losing it. If one also entrusts silver, one must be even more cautious.

But now it is good—

Unless this Hui merchant has an accident on the road, these two letters will almost certainly be delivered. There is no need to worry about the silver being embezzled, and the reward for entrusting someone to deliver the letter is also saved.

Killing several birds with one stone.

While relaxed, he just happened to stroll around the market with Daoist friend Fan.

The East and West Markets of the capital are both very prosperous. The price of things sold in the East Market is a bit more expensive, and the West Market is more grounded.

The East Market is more high-end, so the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone from Huizhou are prevalent here, while the West Market has more exotic customs, and all kinds of spices can be bought there.

It is morning, the market is noisy, there are often crowded taverns and teahouses, and some people stand on the side of the street and talk casually.

The biggest event in the capital recently is the matter of women being harmed one after another after the year, and the most shocking point of this matter is the destruction of the Jingyun Temple outside the city as the ending.

Some time ago, the Jingyun Temple was still crowded with people, but now it has become a ruin. Some time ago, the blue smoke of the Jingyun Temple was still rushing straight into the sky and gathering into clouds, but now even farmers passing by while farming have to deliberately detour.

By contrast, it adds a bit of unreality.

Such things are shocking even to the Emperor, and even if they spread out of the capital, and even spread to places thousands of miles away from the capital, as long as they are narrated truthfully, anyone will be surprised. Even if the details are lacking, it is still a fairy story that people love to talk about.

But they are in the capital, so they naturally know more details. This matter happened right beside them, and it has an unparalleled sense of reality.

Many people even went to the Jingyun Temple to see it for themselves.

Undoubtedly, no matter why they went to the Jingyun Temple, whether it was disbelief, questioning, or curiosity, the scene of the Jingyun Temple was enough to deeply shock them.

And this place is crowded and chaotic, and there is no lack of well-informed people, nor is there a lack of people with broad knowledge.

Someone got news from the county yamen and excitedly told the people around him that on the day that thin, tall Daoist priest was eliminated, the day before the Jingyun Temple monster Daoist was eliminated, a woman was caught by that monster Daoist and locked in a secret cellar in the room, but was saved by Lin Zhenren and handed over to the yamen.

Someone even saw the guardian martial gods full of flowers in the courtyard after going to the Jingyun Temple, and actually connected them with the Qingmiao God of Langfeng County last year.

Therefore, he told others: that year, the Qingmiao God was also eliminated by an immortal. After being eliminated, overnight, fresh flowers bloomed on the statues in several Qingmiao temples in the county.

Some people say that it was done by the Azure Emperor.

And at the end of last year, when Lin Zhenren subdued two stone horses on the street, it was the immortal's mouth spitting, and fresh flowers grew on the stone horses themselves.

Some people talked excitedly, and some people listened obsessively.

But few people noticed that the Lin Zhenren and Master Fan Tian Shi they were talking about were walking past them.

Lin Jue bought a big red rooster, a few catties of cylinder bones, led a sheep, plus a flowery mattress and a flowery quilt, then said goodbye to Master Fan Tian Shi, summoned the donkey, and slowly went to Mount Feng with the fox.

Leaving the official road, passing through Niu Village, and walking onto the small road.

There were actually pedestrians on the road again.

I don't know if these pedestrians had never stopped, or if they only gathered the courage to go up the mountain after Lin Jue asked Master Fan Tian Shi to help clear Flower Senior's name. In short, even if it was the latter, it was enough to prove how tempting this Flower Senior's ability was to these people.

The Daoist priest, the fox, and the donkey walked slowly up the mountain.

Today is also a good day, the wind and smoke are clean, and the sky and mountain are the same color.

Lin Jue soon saw Flower Senior.

It was Flower Senior who discovered his arrival in advance, so he came out of the cave to welcome him.

In the mountain wind, the person in the flower robe stood with his hands behind his back.

"Seen Flower Senior!"

"Oh! You came, you came, why bring anything!" The Flower Daoist said in an old-fashioned tone, while squinting his eyes, staring straight at the big red rooster and the sheep.

"The junior came to visit, so naturally I have to bring some sincerity."

"Just come! Just come!"

Today's Flower Senior is still wearing a flower robe and carrying a dog's head, but Lin Jue knows that with this Flower Senior's cultivation, not completely transforming into a human form does not necessarily mean it is because of him. ===== CHAPTER 304 =====
