Chapter 398

"Third Shixiong, you'd better learn the divine movement technique from me properly. You are always lazy, drinking or brewing wine every day," Little Xiao Shimei kept Little Shixiong's words in mind and reminded Third Shixiong to be diligent, "In the future, when Little Shixiong cooks noodles, you won't be able to catch the hot ones."

"I didn't say I wouldn't learn~ I'll learn slowly~"

Third Shixiong walked beside the stone horse, still looking unrestrained and unreliable.

"You have to learn quickly!"

"Isn't this fast enough? I helped that Lin guy forge iron in the morning, and listened to your Liu girl's lecture in the afternoon. Even drinking can only be left to the morning and evening. I don't even have time to meditate. I haven't been this diligent even when I first went to Fuqiu Peak to cultivate and learn spells. How much faster do you want me to be?"

"Work harder!"

Little Xiao Shimei was unmoved, her expression serious.

"How much harder do I have to work?"

"Work as hard as I do!"

"That... that really won't work." Third Shixiong decisively chickened out.

"Shixiong, you can do it!"

"No, no..."

"You can!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Anyway, you can learn it."

"Look at today, Fourth Shixiong encountered danger, we all arrived, but you were still on the way," Little Xiao Shimei said.

"Where was the danger today? Wasn't it that he put down so many monsters at once?" Third Shixiong drank and shook his head, "I think the monsters are the ones in danger, right?"

"If there was no Mountain-Moving Mirror, Fourth Shixiong would be in danger. If it was Seventh Shixiong who encountered the monsters, Seventh Shixiong would also be in danger," Little Xiao Shimei said earnestly, "Shixiong, you'd better learn the divine movement technique from me seriously. Even if we don't have to rush to meet in the future, it will be more convenient for Shixiong to walk the rivers and lakes."

After a pause, to prevent Third Shixiong from saying that he walks the rivers and lakes slowly and doesn't rush, she added:

"If you encounter danger, it's easier to escape!"

After saying this, she was still worried, afraid that Third Shixiong would say he wasn't afraid of danger, so she added: "If Xiao Shimei encounters danger, Shixiong can also come to save me faster."

"Danger? You?" Third Shixiong looked at her sideways, "Look at what spells you learned after going down the mountain? How many of them are not related to fighting? Now you are practicing the Five Elements Spiritual Method, which is the best at fighting. Whether I can beat you or not is hard to say! I come to save you?"

"Then Shixiong needs to be more diligent!" Little Xiao Shimei said, "Troubled times are coming. If you want to be free, you must practice protective methods!"

"Xiao Shimei is right!"

Seventh Shixiong still remembered Third Shixiong's letter.

"Indeed reasonable..."

Fourth Shixiong said weakly on the horse's back.

"You? Alas..."

Third Shixiong shook his head and sighed, and drank again:

"Okay, okay..."

They are all his own Shidi and Xiao Shimei, sincere and reasonable. Drinking is drinking, unrestrained is unrestrained, what's wrong with listening to a few words?

Inside the post station, in the main hall, there was singing and dancing.

The Shixiong and Xiao Shimei each took their seats.

Seventh Shixiong looked up at the decoration of the main hall, the heavenly banquet dance and dragon and phoenix auspiciousness carved on the beams, the heavenly maidens scattering flowers and fairies running to the moon painted on the ceiling and pillars, and then looked down at the singing girls and dancers performing in front. The music and dance were so beautiful that they didn't look like the human world.

Seventh Shixiong was shocked.

Fourth Shixiong also sat on the mat, took the pill given by Second Shixiong, and was much better, but still weak.

And he originally had no intention of checking the luxury and elegance of this palace, no intention of enjoying the grace of singing and dancing, just lowered his head, stroking the clouded leopard that was also injured beside him.

"Hey! Making a fuss!"

Third Shixiong said to them, with a double meaning:

"The Mountain-Moving Treasure Mirror is a treasure left by ancient immortals, at least a True Man who attained the Dao, right? Anyway, it has been hanging in the Mountain-Moving Hall. For a thousand years, it has helped my temple's ancestors calm many demons and survive several great disasters! It's just that you went up the mountain late. When I was ten years old, I saw Master use it once. That silver light, dense like cow hair, unless it's a god or True Man, otherwise no one can stop it!

"Even if a god or True Man comes, if they are not good at fighting, it is difficult to stop a hundred or a thousand rays!

"However, the Mountain-Moving Treasure Mirror has a big temper. Only the descendants of our Fuqiu Temple can use it, and only the direct line can use it. Like those of us who went down the mountain and took apprentices, these apprentices come again, and the Mountain-Moving Treasure Mirror doesn't recognize them at all! And you have to respect it to use it. You can't use it if you are disrespectful, you can't use it if you do bad things, and you can't use it if you have a guilty conscience!

"After using it, it will drain all the mana and energy from the body. Even when Master used it, he was weak for a long time after coming back.

"So you can't use it indiscriminately!"

Third Shixiong explained while drinking.

Fourth Shixiong still lowered his head, stroking the clouded leopard's head: "I also saw in Third Shixiong's letter that you had the idea of borrowing the Mountain-Moving Mirror back to the temple, so I specifically went back to borrow it."

Seventh Shixiong seemed to have heard Third Shixiong's words, and seemed not to have heard them, just in the singing and dancing, blankly said to Third Shixiong:

"Shixiong! You have been drifting in the world and wandering the rivers and lakes for these years, living this kind of life?"

"Yes! But what's good about this?"

"What's good about this??"

Seventh Shixiong almost beat his chest and stamped his feet.

"Not as good as drinking wine under pine needles and mountain flowers," Third Shixiong shook his head and continued to look at Fourth Shixiong, "What did you just say? How did you know I wrote a letter back saying I wanted to borrow the Mountain-Moving Mirror?"

"Hmm? We were in the Daoist temple when Shixiong entrusted someone to bring the letter back!" Fourth Shixiong replied.

"You were in the Daoist temple?" Third Shixiong was stunned, "Who are you?"

"All of us were there, except you, Third Shixiong," Fourth Shixiong answered truthfully, and looked back at Little Shixiong and Little Xiao Shimei, "Didn't Shidi and Xiao Shimei tell you?" "Yes, last year we went back to Fuqiu Peak together to understand the Great Yin-Yang Method, and spent the New Year on Fuqiu Peak," Seventh Shixiong also recovered, "When the Huizhou merchant who helped Shixiong deliver the letter arrived, Shidi just cooked noodles and we ate them together... Eh? Why didn't Shidi and Xiao Shimei tell you?"

"You even cooked noodles?"

Third Shixiong was shocked, looking at Lin Jue and Little Xiao Shimei.

Why didn't anyone tell him about this?

But only saw Lin Jue drinking tea calmly, and Little Xiao Shimei peeling pomegranates seriously, both avoiding his gaze.

When Third Shixiong withdrew his gaze, they looked over quietly again.

"Of course! Little Shidi went back, how could there be no noodles to eat?" Seventh Shixiong looked at him unexpectedly, "But according to Third Shixiong's letter, Third Shixiong travels south and north, eating well and drinking well, and also said that Fuqiu Temple eats pig food. I thought you wouldn't envy our noodles?"

"This... indeed doesn't..."

"Doesn't what?"

"Doesn't envy..."

"Say it."

No errors in the content at a glance!

"..."

"Haha, I knew it. After Third Shixiong went down the mountain, he lived a carefree life and must have long forgotten the taste of the noodles on the mountain," Seventh Shixiong withdrew his gaze and smiled with satisfaction.

"Then my letter..."

"We read it together!"

"You read it together?"

Third Shixiong looked at Lin Jue and Little Xiao Shimei again. Why was there still no one to tell him?

The two still avoided his gaze, just watching the play silently.

"Yes!" Seventh Shixiong said, "Shixiong, you said you wanted Fifth Shixiong to develop a method for male enhancement, and also said you wanted me to help test it!"

"This..."

"Shixiong." Fourth Shixiong raised his head to look at Third Shixiong, "Do you see me turning into a wild man?"

"Uh..."

"Speaking of that method for male enhancement, I thought Shixiong was being mean again and scolding me. Now it seems, Shixiong, you were probably preparing it for yourself, right?" Seventh Shixiong said.

"Absurd! Absolutely impossible!"

"I think it's possible!"

Seventh Shixiong looked at the singing girls and dancers and shook his head.

"I think so too..."

Fourth Shixiong opened his mouth weakly.

Beside them, Lin Jue and Little Xiao Shimei sat opposite each other, one continuing to drink tea, one changing to a pomegranate to peel. Both of them looked at Third Shixiong's expression, then looked at each other, neither said a word.

However, thoughts had been exchanged many times between their gazes.

Not long after, Wan Xinrong and Daoist Tao walked in, carrying a pile of magic tools and weapons.

"True Man, these were left by those monsters."

The two put the magic tools in front of Lin Jue and left.

Only then did Lin Jue put down his teacup and went to check.

There were probably a dozen or twenty magic tools and weapons, with many patterns, swords, sticks, fans, flutes, clothes, antlers, horns, bottles, everything, all left by those monsters.

However, not all monsters know how to use magic tools. Besides the magic tools themselves being precious and rare, some monsters are fierce beasts that have become spirits, such as tigers, leopards, wolves, and bears, which are powerful enough themselves, so the demand for magic tools and weapons is not so high. On the contrary, if it is a mouse or rabbit that has become a spirit, because they are physically weak and not good at fighting, they practice more spells and use more magic tools to make up for their own shortcomings.

Lin Jue checked and said to Fourth Shixiong:

"Anyway, it's thanks to Fourth Shixiong. Those monsters should have come to attack Ziyun County. Fourth Shixiong saved us a lot of effort. It just so happens that Fourth Shixiong's fighting power is slightly lacking, so come and see what magic tools you like. If you see anything you like, just take it!"

"I cultivate in the deep mountains, how many magic tools do I need?" Fourth Shixiong shook his head, "It's just that my iron sword is too unbearable to use. Just pick a good sword for me."

How could Lin Jue not know what he meant?

Although cultivating in the deep mountains, magic tools are always useful, and they have no burden themselves. Why not take them if they are free? How can there be no need? It's just that Fourth Shixiong is close to nature and has a flat personality, thinking that he needs them more than himself.

Lin Jue picked out the only two swords among the magic tools.

One of them was the same length as the one used by people, with a simple but sharp shape. The other was thinner and shorter. He remembered it was used by a bird monster half a person high. He took it out, knocked it, compared it, and handed the longer one to Fourth Shixiong.

He didn't know what the flute was for. He remembered that Fourth Shixiong loved to play the flute, so he threw it in front of him too.

He took two more things for him.

"Third Shixiong, Seventh Shixiong, Xiao Shimei, come and choose some too. Even if you don't use them yourself, you can keep them for your apprentices in the future." Lin Jue said, "After you choose, the rest will be left to me. For one thing, there are several extraordinary people in Ju Xian Fu who either have magic power and cultivation but are not good at fighting, or have the heart to eliminate demons but lack the power to eliminate demons. Now is the time for them to contribute. For another, Shidi will be in seclusion in the capital for several years. At that time, the world will be in chaos, and someone will need to protect me."

The Shixiong and Xiao Shimei had no objections and were not polite to each other.
