Chapter 310

"Fellow Daoist Lin..."

Daoist Qingxuan and the other two all looked at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue didn't delay at all. After exchanging glances with Master Fan and Lord Pan beside him, he said, "Please allow me to go back and pack some things first."

"See you at the True Zhen Jian Gong outside the city!"

"Good!"

Both sides didn't say much, stepped forward, went their separate ways, and disappeared into the night of the capital.

Lin Jue returned to the courtyard quickly.

Basically, all his things were either carried on his person or placed in the cloth bag given by the thin, tall Daoist. At this time, he just stood in front of the bookshelf in the room, looking at the thirteen carved wooden statues on it, as well as a few small bottles containing pills, and pulled the cloth bag open:

"Please come."

The thirteen wooden statues and the pill bottles all flew up immediately, lining up and flying into the cloth bag.

Then he pointed his backhand at the table.

The night-watch lamp also flew over.

The fox took small steps and followed him.

Seeing that he also took the bowl he used, as well as some things he had prepared long ago for traveling far, he quickly swept them into the cloth bag.

Lin Jue's thoughts were firm—

Not only must he kill the demon before Lord Tianweng's divine lineage repels it, as Daoist Jiang said, but he must also take its head to show the people of Jinping County and the Star Gazing Palace.

This demon must be related to Lord Tianweng's divine lineage.

And that also means it is related to the Star Gazing Palace.

Of course, such things, even if they are not as obscure as the last time the Star Gazing Palace plotted to make him go to Fengshan to trouble Senior Flower, are definitely difficult to find evidence for, at least not yet.

Since it is a guess, it is not necessarily completely correct.

However, he was probably going to eliminate the demons anyway.

If the Leopard King came in person, there should be more considerations, but can a great general under a demon king really be better than the Tuo Long Wang in the Wei Shui River?

With Lin Jue's current Daoist attainments, even if it were the Tuo Long Wang, how could he not find a way to fight again?

Besides, even if he didn't go, Lord Luo would definitely go.

Lord Luo has been protecting his Dao for a long time, so how could he sit idly by and watch him go to eliminate the demons alone?

So he didn't think about anything else, quickly packed his things, and walked out of the room.

In the courtyard, Lord Luo had already saddled the horse and prepared the sword, spear, and luggage. Besides him, Master Fan and Lord Pan were also in the courtyard.

And footsteps were still coming from outside the courtyard.

The short and thin Wan Xinrong walked in carrying a lantern. On his back, he actually carried a luggage bag, and in the luggage bag was a large sword.

Behind him was Daoist Tao who knew blood control, and that person who knew the art.

"Finally caught up with Master Lin!" Wan Xinrong saw the few people and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "When Wan heard about this kind of thing in the Gathering Ju Ju Xian Fu, I knew the Ministry of Rites would definitely go to find you, and I also knew you would definitely go to eliminate the demons. It's just that I went to the palace gate and didn't see you. Later, I heard from the clerk of the Ministry of Rites that you went to the yamen gate and had already agreed to eliminate the demons, so I dared to come to your door!"

"Fellow Daoist Wan is also going?"

"If you are going, I will naturally follow! Even if it's just to kill a few small demons or do some chores, as long as you don't mind, I am willing to follow!"

"How is Fellow Daoist Wan's learning of the three spells?"

"I have barely learned them all, but the Five Elements Spiritual Method is compatible with them, so I am quite proficient in using them!"

"That's good!"

Lin Jue nodded, agreeing, and his gaze shifted to Daoist Tao and that person beside him.

"Greetings to Master Lin. Jinping County is my hometown. Although my skills are not high, my hometown has suffered changes, so I have to go." Daoist Tao bowed to him. "I am also willing to follow you."

"Lei has no other reason; I just admire Master Fan's demeanor and also admire Master Lin's demeanor. I am willing to follow Master Fan and Master Lin to eliminate the demons, both to broaden my knowledge and to seek some wealth." The person surnamed Lei also bowed and said.

"Then let's work together to eliminate the demons!"

"Work together to eliminate the demons!"

Lord Pan beside him also raised his hand to salute and said:

"The Wei Shui River flows from west to east. Although it does not flow through Jinping County, it passes by the gate of Jinping County. It is already night, and it is difficult to travel by land in the dark. I have already asked the Ministry of Rites for a boat, so please take the waterway. Just sit on that boat when you arrive at the pier, and you don't need to worry about anything else. Before dawn, you will definitely arrive outside Jinping County."

"Good!"

Only Master Fan stood aside, silent.

Those who didn't know would think that Master Fan was just like this, unfathomable, with everything under control. But only Lin Jue and Lord Luo knew that at this time, his heart must be stunned and bewildered.

"Although we are going out to eliminate demons, we also need someone to sit in the capital. First, if we encounter trouble, we will ask Bai Lu or even demons and ghosts to send a letter back, and someone needs to receive the letter and then go to Fengshan to ask my junior sister or my senior for help. Second, there are many villains in the capital, whether in the imperial court or elsewhere. If there is any trouble, we need a powerful person to mediate. Fellow Daoist Fan has the highest status, and the demons and ghosts in the capital all respect you. And the matter of inviting gods is not convenient to do easily, so it is just suitable for you to stay in the capital or around the capital."

Lin Jue said, pausing for a moment:

"It just so happens that you don't have to rush out of the city, so that we can get ahead of the Star Gazing Palace."

"..."

Master Fan immediately cast a grateful look at Lin Jue: "Then this poor Daoist will set up an altar and light incense on the mountain outside the city, waiting for your triumphant return."

"Farewell."

"Take care."

Lord Luo handed a horse to Lin Jue.

Lin Jue took the reins and walked out.

Behind him was his own fox, as well as Lord Luo, who was wearing a bamboo hat, carrying a long sword at his waist, and also leading a tall horse, full of the atmosphere of the Jianghu.

After that, there were Lord Pan, Wan Xinrong, Fellow Daoist Tao, and that person.

It was actually quite magnificent.

After leaving the residence, they went out of the city all the way.

The capital's city gates had already been closed, but they had also heard about what happened in the city tonight. As soon as Lin Jue arrived, plus the documents and credentials to open the city gate, the city gate was opened quickly.

The night outside was indeed heavy.

In the night, there were often faint lights, which were the buildings, shops, and villages outside the city, except for one bright light hanging two miles away.

That was the direction of the True Zhen Jian Gong.

Luo Seng, in addition to his own precious horse, also brought two horses, which were just right for Lord Pan and Wan Xinrong to ride. Fellow Daoist Tao brought a horse himself, and the person lay down and turned into a fierce tiger.

Lin Jue summoned the paper donkey.

The group moved quickly.

The city guards behind them were all stunned.

They soon reached the light, and sure enough, they saw a large lantern hanging on the gate of the True Zhen Jian Gong, as if waiting for guests. And when the mountain gate opened, the lights inside shone out with thick green smoke, and several Daoists stood quietly to see them off. Daoist Qingxuan, Daoist Jiang, and Ma Shidi had already prepared their luggage and horses and were waiting.

Lin Jue told them that they were going to take the waterway.

So they went to the pier, and everyone and the horses got on the dragon boat. Lord Pan didn't say anything, just bowed to them, and jumped into the water.

With a splash!

Just when everyone was puzzled, the dragon boat moved by itself.

Backing up, turning, and going upstream.

Everyone stood at the bow of the boat. After leaving the pier, except for the fox who could still see in the night, everything around them was almost pitch black, and they could only hear the sound of water and wind.

Even if the lights on the dragon boat were lit one after another, they could only illuminate a small area of the deck.

Lin Jue stood with Daoist Jiang and Daoist Qingxuan.

"Thinking back to the last time we went out to eliminate demons together, it's been a few years, right?" Lin Jue blew the night wind on the river.

"Why? Last time on Fengshan, this poor Daoist and Xiao Xiao Shimei Jiang didn't make a move, so does that not count?" Daoist Qingxuan replied.

"That naturally doesn't count."

"Then it has indeed been a few years." Daoist Qingxuan sighed, "Time passes so fast. Without knowing it, I have aged a few years, and you have become much more powerful. Now that you have only been in the capital for a short time, with a wave of your arm, so many fellow Daoists are willing to follow you to eliminate demons."

"They follow the elimination of demons, not necessarily me."

"It's all the same." Daoist Qingxuan said, "If you didn't have prestige and virtue, even if they went to eliminate demons, why would they follow you?"

Lin Jue shook his head and didn't say much.

The wind at the bow of the boat was very gentle at first, but as the dragon boat went further and further, it became urgent, and it was becoming more and more urgent, showing the speed of the dragon boat.

Wan Xinrong, Daoist Tao, and that person were all very surprised.

Later, the speed of this dragon boat on the river was no less than the speed of a horse running on the shore.

If it were daytime, and it could be seen by the people on the shore, they would probably be amazed as an immortal skill.

The dark night was about the same.

There are many demons and ghosts near the capital, and the night is their world. There are many spirits on the shore and under the water. At this time, the world was like daylight in their eyes. Such a large dragon boat could naturally be seen from far away that a boat was running wildly on the water.

Some demons couldn't help but talk in low voices.

"What is that?"

"The Gathering Ju Ju Xian Fu's boat. I remember Master Fan was sitting on it last time."

"How can a boat run so fast? Is it Master Fan going out to eliminate demons again?"

"Master Fan wasn't this fast last time..."

"Which Master is that?"

When the demons on the shore were whispering, they glanced inadvertently and saw a white fox standing on the gunwale, twisting its head and staring at them without blinking.

There were also three Daoists standing at the bow of the boat talking, their clothes and hair blown by the river wind, and it seemed that one of them turned his head and glanced at them.

The demons were frightened and immediately hid in the grass and forest.

If the demons on the shore were surprised, those under the water were even more so.

All because the figure following the boat under the water and casting spells to make the boat move fast looked quite a bit like the original Wei Shui River God.

"Is that the River God? Isn't the River God already dead?"

"Yes..."

"And what kind of person is the River God? Why would he help people push a boat?"

"Maybe a great immortal..."

With a blink, the dragon boat had already sailed far away. Only ripples were seen, continuously slapping the shore. The spirits in the water couldn't resist the surging water, and their bodies swayed with it.

Occasionally, people were drunk by the river, some were fishing at night, and some houses were by the river, awakened by the waves and the sound of water, or opened their sleepy eyes, or looked after retreating, or quietly opened the window a little, only to see a dragon boat and the lights on the boat, shining like an immortal boat, as if carrying immortals, moving away rapidly in the dark night.
