Chapter 385: It Has to Be Xiao Shimei

In the Mountain-Moving Hall, the futons had been stacked up.

Little Xiao Shimei held a broom, sweeping the floor silently in the hall.

The rustling sound made people's hearts calm, and she swept seriously, seemingly intoxicated by it.

Lin Jue was tidying up the statues on the altar.

The statue of the Mountain-Moving Ancestor, the incense ash on the altar, the dead corners behind the statue, including the spider webs and dust on the walls, all had to be wiped clean.

Gradually approached an ancient mirror.

Lin Jue stepped on the altar and took down the ancient mirror.

Touching the mirror surface with both hands, he knew it was a silver mirror. It was cold to the touch, heavy, and permeated with a thick and sharp spiritual aura. It seemed that just by touching it, his hands would be pricked with fine needle eyes.

Since Lin Jue went up the mountain, he had rarely touched this ancient mirror.

He took a rag and wiped it carefully.

Then he hung it back on the wall.

"Has Xiao Shimei ever seen Master or anyone use this mirror?" Lin Jue asked casually.

"I haven't seen it." Xiao Shimei stopped the broom and used it as a crutch, looking up at him, "I only heard Master say that this was sent by the immortal who taught the Mountain-Moving Ancestor magic many years ago, after the ancestor built our Daoist temple, specifically for us to help keep it, and then it has been hanging here."

Little Xiao Shimei paused:

"That immortal didn't say what its name was, so at first the ancestor called it the Fuqiu Mirror, and later called it the Mountain-Moving Mirror. When encountering very powerful demons, the Temple Master would invite it out."

"Hmm..."

Lin Jue thought of Third Shixiong's letter.

Third Shixiong said in the letter that he might come back to borrow it.

"..."

Lin Jue continued to dust.

After cleaning, the two went out.

"Why be so diligent? When the dust is heavy, I will naturally call Ji Yin and Ji Yang to help clean it," Eldest Shixiong said.

"Anyway, I'm leaving, so I'll clean it up to show some sincerity," Lin Jue said, taking a booklet from his bosom and handing it to Eldest Shixiong, "There are more than thirty dishes recorded in it, all home-cooked dishes. Most of them are very simple to make. As long as you strictly follow the steps, they won't be bad. Change them up, and it's enough to eat for many years."

Little Xiao Shimei immediately said beside him: "I've already copied a copy. Eldest Shixiong, remember to copy a copy first, and then give it to other shixiong, take turns copying!"

"Hmm."

Eldest Shixiong took it with a serious expression.

"Then Xiao Shimei and I will return to the capital," Lin Jue said.

"By the way, go find Third Shixiong," Little Xiao Shimei said.

"Be careful in everything. If there is anything, remember to write a letter," Eldest Shixiong said to them.

"Definitely."

"Remember!"

Little Xiao Shimei brought a package.

Lin Jue also brought a package.

In fact, his wooden statue was far from being refined. It was just that the half-person-high wooden statue could be put into a cloth bag, so he planned to take it back to the capital, then build armor and weapons, and refine it together.

This can save some time.

It can also go find Third Shixiong earlier.

Except for them, only Second Shixiong wanted to be lazy, saving the effort of teaching his disciples, staying here, so that his newly accepted disciple could listen to Eldest Shixiong's scriptures and teachings. The other shixiong were all leaving.

"When will Shidi and Xiao Shimei go to the northeast of Qinzhou to find Third Shixiong? I will go with you then," Fourth Shixiong asked.

Little Xiao Shimei turned her head and looked at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue said: "I want to finish this Bean Soldier first."

"Be sure to send me a letter then."

"Good."

"Send me a letter too, I will also go to the capital to find you," Seventh Shixiong said, "Seeing that this world is about to rot, I haven't experienced the prosperity of the capital yet."

"Then you go, Fifth Shixiong and I won't go," Sixth Shixiong said, "That place is full of demons. Although we have learned other magic in these few years, we may not be able to help if we go."

"Shixiong, take care of yourselves and cultivate with peace of mind," Lin Jue said, "Just wait for one day, meet on the rainbow bridge, and drink together on the top of the sky."

"Hahaha..."

Many Daoists said goodbye to Eldest Shixiong and Second Shixiong. Lin Jue also said goodbye to the Mountain God, and then they all went down the mountain.

It was the time when peach blossoms bloomed. The Daoists were as light as swallows, their feet were windy, stepping over the Huashan peak, following the mountain slope and the mountain wind, and arrived at the foot of the mountain without any effort.

This time down the mountain, it was no longer so heavy.

The credit is mostly due to the God-Walking Method.

With the God-Walking Method, walking a thousand li a day is not a problem. If you cultivate with peace of mind, you can walk even faster, and the gathering between each other has become simple.

Just arrived at the foot of Fuqiu Mountain, between the mountain flowers and trees, a voice suddenly came out:

"Leaving just like this?"

Lin Jue knew as soon as he heard it, it was the Refuting Senior.

Many Daoists stopped one after another.

Some stood on the branches of withered trees, some stopped on the umbrella cover of ancient pines, and all turned their heads to look at where the sound came from.

But even with the height, they couldn't find any figure.

Maybe they could find it if they looked carefully, but there was no need.

"Did Senior come out today? This junior pays his respects," Lin Jue saluted that side, "It is true that I haven't said goodbye to Senior, which is a bit rude, but it is also because I didn't meet Senior the two times I went down the mountain after returning that day, and I thought Senior was not here during these times."

A response soon came from somewhere in the forest:

"Really dull! When was I not here? It's just that before the New Year, there were too many people coming up the mountain to offer incense and pay respects, and the road was stepped wide and flat, and I thought it was too noisy, so I simply avoided it."

"Haha."

Lin Jue laughed instead, and then said with a smile: "Senior is really a person who cultivates in purity."

"Hmph!" That side gave a light hum, but didn't respond, but said:

"Your talent is indeed high enough, your Daoist practice is growing fast enough, and I think you have other opportunities. You have been able to fight the Leopard King alone, and you have been able to find a way to kill it under the protection of Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Baosheng. It seems that whether it is Daoist practice or strategy, I have underestimated you."

"Senior's news is really well-informed!" Lin Jue paused and asked, "Since so, does Senior know where my Third Shixiong is?"

"Don't you already know? Why come to test me?"

"Eh? Why does Senior say this? Naturally, I know he is in Ziyun County, but I don't know where exactly, and I don't know if we can meet him if we go to Ziyun County, so I ask Senior for advice."

"I don't know how to divine, how would I know?"

The voice in the forest came out, but paused, and then said:

"However, your trip down the mountain back to the capital happens to catch up with the big event that happened in Yunmeng County a few days ago."

"What big event?"

"You will know when you go back. By the time you go back, the news should have reached the capital," the voice in the forest said, "I didn't come to listen to your farewell, just met by chance, so I reminded you casually. The immortals who have been dormant for many years in the world may have more abilities than the immortals in the sky, be cautious."

Lin Jue had already heard from Daoist Jiang that Dong Wang Mu in the northeast of Qinzhou was a Many Yaoguai King who had attained the Truth, and was an existence at the same level as the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun, far from what he could deal with now. If he really went to the northeast to find Third Shixiong, facing such an existence, he would naturally be cautious.

But this Senior's personality is very cold.

(No content lost!)

"Many thanks to Senior, this junior will keep it in mind."

After Lin Jue finished speaking, he waited for a while, but no sound came from that side.

Naturally, he knew that the "Refuting Senior" had already left.

Lin Jue couldn't help but shake his head.

This Senior's personality is really something. He was about to leave, but it wouldn't say goodbye to him or say two more words.

Instead, Seventh Shixiong on the branch smiled and said to him:

"This Senior has lived here for many years, and has always only refuted people, never made friends with people. Shidi can get to know it, and can let it come out to remind and care when leaving, which is really a good skill."

Lin Jue smiled, with blame in his eyes—

At this moment, the "Refuting Senior" must still be here. The so-called departure was just the end of the conversation. With its personality, hearing Seventh Shixiong say this, could it bear it?

"Senior, this junior is leaving."

Lin Jue saluted that side, and naturally, he didn't hear a response.

He stepped on the reed cluster with his toes and flew away gracefully.

Many shixiong and shimei also followed.

For a moment, it was like immortals in the mountains traveling together.

The white egret flew back to the capital and landed on the begonia tree.

The begonia had just sprouted flower buds.

Little Xiao Shimei also arrived at the courtyard in the capital, because Lin Jue wanted her to help catalyze the fire, melt the spiritual gold, and build armor and weapons for the Bean Soldiers—Little Xiao Shimei's talent is in the Five Elements, and she has already transferred to practice the Five Elements Spiritual Method. The magic she learned is also less than Lin Jue's, and she is more specialized in Five Elements magic. The spiritual fire she releases is naturally more fierce and domineering.

However, returning to the capital and seeing Fan Tian Shi, Lin Jue asked first:

"Daoist friend, how is Yunmeng County?"

"Yunmeng County? Yunmeng County is still the same," Fan said, "The struggle between the government soldiers and the believers of the Changsheng Sect is the main thing. Besides that, there is no big event, but small things are constant."

"When is this news?"

"I only asked this morning. The style of that 'Dong Wang Mu' has always been like this."

"..."

Lin Jue frowned and was puzzled, but he still believed the news of the Refuting Senior, so he said: "Please pay more attention, Daoist friend, and ask more."

"What's wrong? Did Daoist brother receive any news?"

"No accurate news."

"Then I will go and ask again," Fan said, "Besides the imperial court and the Ju Xian Fu, I will also ask the demons and ghosts living in the capital. Their news is sometimes more well-informed than people."

"Hard work, Daoist friend."

Lin Jue returned to his courtyard.

First, he dragged a long-handled big knife out of the room.

This long-handled big knife was really huge. The handle was nearly as thick as a person's calf, the blade was one chi wide, and the back of the blade was two fingers thick, extremely sharp. Its length was like a big tree. One could imagine the momentum of its invincibility when it was swung, and the spiritual aura and evil spirit on it were also extremely dense.

Lin Jue wanted to use it to build armor and weapons for the Long Bo Bean Soldier.

Naturally, he had to melt it—

Although this knife is good, ordinary people can't use it, and the evil spirit and resentment on it are too heavy, and it has stained too many innocent people's blood, so it is not suitable for Daoists to use.

And used to make weapons for Bean Soldiers, even if it is a Long Bo Bean Soldier, this big knife can't be used up.

Plus armor, it doesn't necessarily use it up.

After all, Bean Soldiers change from small to large.

The spiritual gold used for the Long Bo Bean Soldier's weapons and armor is probably about the same as the gold and iron used for ordinary strong men's weapons plus a suit of armor, and this knife is really too big.

The first problem to consider—

How to break it and put it into the furnace?

Little Xiao Shimei gave him the answer.

Only saw her walk up, aim at the long-handled big knife, exert her magic power, and slap it down.

"Boom!"

It was like the sound of her hand slapping hard stone when she first learned the "Grinding Stone" method, making people's eardrums feel shocked.

The big knife had no cracks, but it trembled and buzzed.

Little Xiao Shimei looked at her palm and didn't stop.

"Boom!"

Cracks finally appeared on the blade.

Boom boom boom! Several sounds in a row!

The big knife shattered and broke.

A pile of spiritual gold lumps on the ground.

The first problem was solved just like that.
