Chapter 418: Rumors in the Capital

In the official post house, there is a palace cast from mahogany.

? ￠o

The candlesticks are arranged in an orderly manner, with hundreds of thousands of lamps, illuminating the palace as brightly as day. There are red gauze curtains, carved beams and painted buildings, authentic works of calligraphy and painting that can no longer be found in the human world, priceless antique ornaments, and singing girls and dancers who do not look like those in the human world performing. There are servants bringing wine and food.

"What is there to worry about!"

Third Third Shixiong spread his hands, looked at Lin Jue in confusion, and then looked around the main hall: "These palace buildings are so big, can't they hold these woods?"

"Third Shixiong means……"

"That's it! Put those woods in. At most, the largest piece can't fit through the door, so it must be calculated and dismantled into smaller pieces before being put in." Third Third Shixiong said, "Since you can carry these palace buildings, you can naturally also carry the wood inside the palace buildings."

"So that's it!"

Lin Jue was a bit surprised and looked at this palace with even higher regard.

The other Shixiongs were the same.

It seems that these palace buildings, which are both real and illusory, neither real nor illusory, are even more wonderful and miraculous than they imagined.

"Ma Shidi, where do you intend to put your share?"

"Put it on Fengshan. After I return to the capital, I might have to leave for a few years to seek some fortune, then return to the capital and stay for a period of time. It's more convenient to put it on Fengshan, and there is Xiao Shimei to help watch it."

"Fine, then we will start dividing it tomorrow during the day. After dividing, we will start dismantling, and then first send his share back to the Temple Master. After all, he is the Temple Master, so we dare not delay. After that, we will send your share, Ma Shidi." Third Third Shixiong said naturally, "As for my share, I'll just carry it."

"Does Third Shixiong still intend to continue wandering the world?"

"Naturally! It's only been a few years, how could I have had enough fun?" Third Third Shixiong said, "Moreover, I promised Princess Hua to take her to visit famous mountains and rivers, and the beautiful scenery is far from being finished."

Lin Jue looked at several Shixiongs upon hearing this.

Several Shixiongs also looked at each other.

"The world is too big. Third Shixiong probably won't be able to finish walking it in decades." Lin Jue said with a smile.

"Who said that?"

"Haha……"

"Princess Hua's treasure's magical power is truly powerful. It is also free for Ma Shidi to carry this palace building to walk the world." Second Third Shixiong drank wine with a cup, pondered for a moment, and finally said, his tone indifferent, "No wonder Ma Shidi mocked us in the letter for eating pig food and famine-relief pills every day."

But unexpectedly, Third Third Shixiong said very naturally: "That letter wasn't written for you to see. You've seen it, so that's it. This Daoist won't argue with you. Just forget it!"

Fourth Third Shixiong said upon hearing this: "It's so lively here with Third Shixiong, with music and dancing, no wonder you would mock me for being a wild man."

"No wonder Third Shixiong would worry about my body." Seventh Third Shixiong said.

"You all forget! Forget!"

"Third Shixiong is truly ignorant of medical skills. Why is there a need to develop aphrodisiacs?" Fifth Third Shixiong opened his mouth, "Since ancient times, there have been many pill recipes!"

"What medicinal materials are needed? Ma Shidi will prepare them when I go back! King Yue only gifted me many medicinal materials last year, and I don't know if they are enough?" Sixth Third Shixiong also said, "Since it concerns Third Shixiong's body, we must use the best!"

"……"

Third Third Shixiong simply stopped talking, raised his cup to drink, shook his head, and forgot the worries of this moment.

Lin Jue stroked the fox and smiled without saying a word.

Little Xiao Shimei focused on feeding the child in her arms porridge. Looking at her like this, she could take good care of her.

Starting the next day, they divided the spirit wood equally.

As for the largest piece of spirit wood that Long Bo carried back, they didn't let Xiao Shimei take action, but Lin Jue and Third Third Shixiong planned and calculated together, and then worked together to carefully divide it into sizes a bit taller than a person. This size can be directly used to carve Long Bo Bean Soldiers. If a Long Bo remnant cannot be found, it is also very convenient to dismantle it into small pieces.

Just dismantling took several days.

In this way, it can be put into the palace.

Then they packed their luggage and prepared to leave.

Walking out of the official post house, outside was still a dilapidated and empty street. Few people had cleaned it for several months, and weeds had grown. However, looking back, inside the door was an elegant and luxurious palace.

But this palace was also shrinking rapidly.

The beams and columns shrank and folded, the ceiling fell, the walls retracted, and they folded layer by layer in the smoke. Those spirit woods were also covered inside. Before they could see clearly, all the palace buildings had become very small.

Princess Hua, dressed in red, held a tray containing several palaces in her hand and walked out gracefully. And in the process of her walking out, the tray also folded inward, and soon became a square and exquisitely crafted mahogany box, like a jewelry box for a dowry.

It was early morning, and there was no sunlight. Princess Hua handed the box to Third Third Shixiong.

"Many thanks, Princess."

Third Third Shixiong was rarely polite.

Princess Hua smiled slightly and disappeared at once.

"Let's go."

A green jade treasure horse, two stone horses, two paper donkeys, a group of Daoist priests, holding a child, a fox, and a colored fox, stepped on the stone slab street and walked out.

Hearing the sound, the people all walked out of the house to see them off.

The officials in the city also came to kowtow upon hearing the news.

When leaving the city, the defending soldiers also bowed and watched them go.

The wilderness outside the city was boundless, and the group of people slowly disappeared.

It was just the passing of summer and the arrival of autumn. It was not hot in the early morning, and the air carried a hint of moisture and coldness. They could smell the scent of soil and wild grass, which was the breath of heaven and earth. Several people were not in a hurry to use the Divine Movement Technique to hurry on their way, but took advantage of this comfortable and pleasant time to walk a journey first.

They could chat while walking.

"You got your wish this time, you really picked up a disciple." Lin Jue said to Little Xiao Shimei. He had long seen that Little Xiao Shimei had long had the idea of taking a disciple to play with.

The mountain is indeed cold and bitter. If there is only one person and one cat, although not lonely, it is boring after a long time.

When Eldest Third Shixiong took a disciple, Little Xiao Shimei felt it was novel.

When Second Third Shixiong took a disciple, she was also very interested, chattering and sharing with Lin Jue.

"I'm a little afraid I won't be able to raise her."

"Then you have to be attentive."

"I'm also afraid she won't listen to me when she grows up."

"She has grown up, so why should she listen to you? She has her own ideas." Lin Jue said, "As for what her ideas will be at that time, whether good or evil, it depends on Xiao Shimei's careful teaching. At least Eldest Third Shixiong said that her five elements are balanced, which shows that her nature is not bad."

"I'm also a little afraid of trouble."

"Then you have to ask the two Shixiongs."

So Lin Jue and Little Xiao Shimei both looked at the two Shixiongs.

"It's not troublesome. You can also ask them to chop wood on the mountain, go down the mountain to buy things, go to the spirit spring to fetch water, and sweep the floor in the Daoist temple." Eldest Third Shixiong said, "In short, being alone on the mountain, it is excellent for relieving loneliness."

"It's not troublesome. You can also ask him to help fan the fire, take the pill bottle and medicinal materials." Second Third Shixiong followed up, "Even if you want to teach him alchemy and Daoist magic, reading and literacy, cultivation and heart cultivation, it is just right to use it to relieve boredom."

"This seems to be something Third Shixiong and I have also done."

"Right." Second Third Shixiong said.

"If there is anything you don't understand, you can come back and ask me." Eldest Third Shixiong said, "The only thing to note is that the Spirit Dharma Sect in Qinzhou respects Yushan outside the capital. Although our Fuqiu Temple has few people, it is not a small temple, and it has had disagreements with Yushan in the past. It's fine for you to practice here, but now you have taken a disciple and left a legacy. I don't know if they will be happy."

"Afraid of a fart?" Third Third Shixiong said, "When has our Fuqiu Temple ever lost to them?"

"Aiya, that's not how you say it." Eldest Third Shixiong shook his head.

"I know, I will pay attention." Little Xiao Shimei nodded, and asked again, "However, she doesn't have a name yet, only a surname and a nickname. Should I give her a name?"

"Sixth Third Shixiong is good at this."

"Sixth Third Shixiong……"

"What is the surname?"

"Surname Zhang."

"Why not name her Zhang Ziyun?"

"Zhang Zhang Ziyun……"

Little Xiao Shimei scratched her head, and did not refute.

Although she had thought about taking a disciple herself after seeing Eldest Third Shixiong and Second Third Shixiong take disciples, so that there would be more things to do on the mountain and more people to talk to, she hadn't thought it would be so fast—in her original expectation, it would take at least a few years or more than ten years, at least after most Shixiongs.

This was a bit sudden for her.

Perhaps this is fate.

Then they continued to chat while walking.

Only then did they know that before the great battle, although Seventh Third Shixiong had sent a letter back to Mount Yishan, when Eldest Third Shixiong and others received the letter, they were already down the mountain.

It was because they were concerned about the affairs of this region that they frequently inquired of the Spirit Medium, consulted divinations, and learned that wind and rain were approaching, so they set off to descend the mountain.

……

Following the Shixiongs, they first returned to Mount Yishan to put down the spirit wood, and then returned to the capital.

The Daoist priests of Yushan were the first to return to the capital.

The people of the capital thus learned about the affairs in the northeast. For a time, they were curious about the Demon King who swallowed the city, curious about the scene of the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun and divine beings descending to the mortal world, and also felt fear for that terrifying Demon King.

Then came Fan Tian Shi Nan and the strange people and scholars of the Gathering Immortal Mansion.

The people of the capital thus learned more details.

They learned that before Emperor Qing Hua, under True Man Qing Miao, there was a Multi-Eyed Divine General who responded to Fan Tian Shi Nan's request and led troops to descend to the mortal world to eliminate demons; they learned that the Demon King's clone was almost as tall as a cloud, and broke the city with one whip; they learned that Fan Tian Shi Fan, who had originally stayed in the capital, rushed to Jiguang County in times of crisis, regardless of hardship and fear of death, invited the divine being, executed the Demon King's clone, and beheaded the Demon King's main body, while Fan Tian Shi Fan unfortunately passed away.

The people of the capital were all shocked, and even the demons and ghosts hiding in the capital could not believe it.

Then there were countless people who were grief-stricken.

They also learned that True Man Lin, who went to protect Zhang Ziyun County, after calming the demon chaos in Zhang Ziyun County and beheading the Demon King's clone, also came to Jiguang County to help. They learned that there is a Mount Yishan in Huizhou, and there is an immortal Daoist temple in the mountain. The nine disciples in the temple are all immortal True Men. This time, hearing that the Demon King was making trouble, they all went down the mountain to help. The silver light covering the sky surpassed the thunder, illuminating the night as brightly as day.

The Daoist priests of Zhen Yu Jian Gong also returned to the capital.

The officials and people of the capital all knew that the Daoist priests of Zhen Yu Jian Gong went to Boyu County in person, invited divine soldiers and heavenly generals, fought with demon soldiers and demon generals, and repelled them.

For a time, the incense of Zhen Yu Jian Gong flourished, the green smoke became clouds, the threshold was stepped on, and the courtyard was full of people, so much so that it was difficult to even turn around.

Some people rumored that Daoist Jiang is a living immortal.

Even the Star Gazing Palace, which did not leave the capital, also had its reputation improved because it "invited" two True Lords to go and eliminate the Demon King.

The strange people and scholars of Zhang Ziyun County also returned to the capital one after another.

Numerous strange people and scholars described vividly the terror of the Demon King and his demon soldiers and demon generals, described the demeanor of the Daoist priests, the heavenly soldiers and giant gods that descended from heaven, the five-tailed white fox, and the details of the battle.

Only True Man Lin had not returned to the capital for a long time.

By the time they returned, the entire capital, from teahouses to wine shops, was already filled with rumors of the Queen Mother of the West's defeat and the destruction of the Longevity Sect. In these rumors, the figures of immortals and high-level masters were frequently mentioned, highly sought after by the people, and in their enthusiastic discussions, the truth even became vaguely distorted, with different versions emerging from different people's mouths.

Only a short time had passed.

I don't know what it will be like after a hundred years.
