Chapter 421: Passing on the Dharma

A few days later, in the quiet room of the courtyard.

Wan Wan Xinrong, Daoist Tao, and others all arrived here.

Lin Jue sat at the case, with a painting hanging behind him.

The painting outlines the eaves and roofs with ink and wash, and uses a unique technique to draw a courtyard. In the courtyard, there is a crabapple tree. It looks like one, but it is actually two. Under the tree are stone tables and stone chairs, a cup of tea that no one drinks, and a cloud leopard as big as a tiger, lying under the tree, looking at the person outside the painting.

There are also a few lines of poetry on the side, mostly praising the cloud leopard.

It is a new painting by Fourth Third Shixiong a few days ago.

Lin Jue thought it was painted well, and also felt that it was too troublesome and cumbersome for Fourth Third Shixiong to bring a painting back thousands of miles, so he took it himself, mounted it, and hung it up.

At this time, he looked at the few people in front of him, but couldn't help but be surprised.

Besides carrying the treasure lamp, Wan Wan Xinrong also had a thunder-light short sword hanging from his waist, which was gifted to him by Lin Jue in Zhang Ziyun County; Daoist Tao had a thin sword hanging from his waist, and also had a golden light bell hanging, and it could be vaguely seen that his arms were full of armor pieces and flying knives; Ren also had a circle of demon-binding ropes hanging from his waist.

Even Jia Jia Qiaozi and Cai Cai Lingyu brought the cold light mirror and poison thorn whip that Lin Jue gifted them in Zhang Ziyun County.

"What are you all……" Lin Jue asked, "Why bring so many magic tools in the capital?"

"Hmm?" Wan Wan Xinrong asked in confusion, "True Man Lin called so many of us over, isn't it because there is something to entrust to us?"

"You all misunderstood." Lin Jue smiled, "There is no demon elimination matter."

"Hi! I said so! This is the capital, how can there be so many fights and demon eliminations? Even if there are, it's not too late to go back and get them!" Ren waved his hand, "Lei was already walking on the street, but encountered you, and was persuaded by you to go back and bring these things, walking an extra two miles!"

"Then why did True Man Lin call us here?"

"I just feel that you are all high-ranking righteous people, and I admire your uprightness and courage in Zhang Ziyun, but I regret that none of you are from the orthodox cultivation. It just so happens that I have learned many magical spells. If you are willing, I have a few magical spells suitable for you, which you can take back to study and practice."

Lin Jue said to them leisurely.

Several people looked at each other upon hearing this.

Among them, there were smart ones, and slightly stupid ones. There were those whose temperaments were crooked on weekdays, and those who were straightforward. The reactions were naturally fast and slow.

However, no matter how stupid, after a trip to Leopard Forest in the northwest and a trip to Zhang Ziyun in the northeast, they should have seen the magical ability of this True Man Lin in front of them. No matter how slow the reaction, they should know that in this era when the Spirit Dharma Sect is declining and the incense divine way and the Talisman Sect are flourishing, magical spells are very rare.

If they can get True Man Lin to pass on the Dharma, how can it be compared with other magical spells?

And True Man Lin asked, "If you are willing."

Who wouldn't be willing for such a good thing?

Naturally, this is not what he asked.

"Wan has said since a few years ago that I am willing to work for True Man Lin." Wan Wan Xinrong bowed first, "It's just that Wan's ability is limited, and I can only do some miscellaneous work."

"Lei also said early on that following True Man Lin would surely win fame and fortune, but now what Lei has won is far more than just a little fame and fortune." Ren's reaction was also fast, thinking of his initial thoughts, then thinking of the tiger demon essence blood, not lacking powerful demons, and the magic tools he got now, only sighing that he was lucky, and at the same time said more firmly, "Anyway, Lei has already made up his mind to follow True Man Lin from now on. Whatever True Man Lin says, Lei will do!"

"This Daoist is also……"

"This Daoist is also willing to follow the True Man!"

"The student is also……"

"You all said it wrong." Lin Jue just shook his head and said, "I do have places where I want you to help, but more importantly, I recognize your character and morality, so I invited you here. Now that the world is about to enter chaotic times, you learning magical spells is not just for me, but for the sake of the common people in the world."

Several people looked at each other again, and said more solemnly:

"We know."

"Remember the True Man's teachings!"

"……"

Lin Jue scanned them one by one.

"Daoist Friend Wan has excellent talent in the five elements, deep cultivation, and solid foundation, but unfortunately, he doesn't know many magical spells, which limits himself." Lin Jue said, "Daoist Friend Wan practices the five elements spirit dharma. The five elements spirit dharma should be used in conjunction with five elements magical spells, so that you can advance and retreat freely, and have both offense and defense. It is best at fighting, just like the fire spirit dharma, mountain pressing top, and fossilization method that you have practiced in the past few years. I see that you have learned them very well."

"It's just a shallow attainment, I dare not show off in front of True Man Lin and True Man Liu."

"Daoist Friend just lacks time." Lin Jue said, "I have a 'Point Stone into General' method here, which can borrow the spiritual aura of mountain stones to summon giants to help."

"This……"

Wan Wan Xinrong was surprised and unexpected.

He had seen this magical spell in Leopard Forest and Zhang Ziyun County, and knew that this was truly an immortal ability.

He didn't expect True Man Lin to give it to him.

In surprise, a book had been placed on the table.

"Many thanks, True Man!"

Wan Wan Xinrong hurriedly took it.

"Daoist Friend Tao also has high ability and has attainments in controlling objects, but there is one point that is not beautiful, which is that the spell control is not flexible enough, and blood control has weaknesses. I know that Daoist Friend has an upright temperament and is not afraid of demons and ghosts, so I specially pass on the most orthodox object-controlling technique to you." Lin Jue smiled, "It just so happens that I realized this magical spell, and it also has something to do with you. Now teaching it to you can be considered a wonderful fate."

Daoist Tao was also surprised upon hearing this.

As someone who practices object-controlling techniques, how could he not notice that when True Man Lin controls the flying sword, he doesn't need to chant, there is no blood talisman on the flying sword, and he is not afraid of rain, grass forests, and complex environments. It's just that he always felt that it was one of True Man Lin's unique skills, so how could he dare to dream of it?

"This……" Daoist Tao looked at Lin Jue and immediately bowed, "From now on, if True Man Lin has any instructions, this Daoist is willing to fight with my life."

This is far more than just an object-controlling technique.

There is also the character and words of Lin Jue that he has seen in the few years he has known him and the few times he has gone out to eliminate demons, which makes him willing to do so.

"Lei Gong specializes in techniques, which are not easy to improve in peaceful times, but in these chaotic times, there must be many tiger demons coming out to make trouble. But relying only on techniques and the nourishing qi method is ultimately insufficient." Lin Jue said, "I will first pass on the Yin-Yang Spirit Dharma to you, and then pass on the Shooting Technique, Dragon Transformation Play, Wall Walking Technique, and Stone Sealing Technique. You practice them first, and don't be lazy."

"Aiya! The little one knows! Kowtow to True Man Lin!"

"Daoist Jia, I will teach you the method of gathering beasts and adjusting birds, and the technique of calling wind and gang qi."

"Many thanks, True Man Lin!"

"Cai Gong, I will pass on the earth escape and wood escape techniques, and the water-entering and body-fixing techniques."

"Many thanks, True Man Lin!"

"Take them to see first, write down what you don't understand, and you can come and ask me every dusk." Lin Jue said, "Cherish them, and remember to return the books to me after reading."

"We know……"

【System Note: Content omitted for brevity】

These people are one of Lin Jue's main protectors when refining pills.

Actually, Lin Jue gifted magic tools to more than just them, but because of various reasons, Lin Jue didn't pass them on to so many people. If there is danger in the future, he can let these few people lead them.

"When you came, did you see many boxes at the door?"

"Saw them."

Everyone was holding books, looking down, reluctant to part, but also moved their eyes away and looked at Lin Jue.

"They are all filled with silver." Lin Jue said, "I originally thought that the money of those people was not obtained properly, and I didn't want to have any relationship with them because of this, but later I figured it out—how much does this money have to do with them? It was not dug out of the ground by them, nor was it earned by them in a bright and upright way. It was mostly plundered, the fat and cream of the people. There are countless people in the capital who are hungry and cold, poorly dressed, and even sleeping on the streets and dying of hunger and cold. Even if it is returned to them, sent back to their purses, it will only be stained with grease and filth again.

"However, I don't want to touch it either.

"So please take it away.

"Returning to the capital some time ago, I saw countless people who were hungry and cold, and those who were displaced. It is now autumn, and the cold winter is approaching. I am afraid they will have a hard time surviving until next year……"

Just when everyone thought that the True Man had an immortal heart and wanted to give this silver to these people, they heard the True Man say:

"From the capital to Yushan, the official road is already damaged, and the road is difficult to walk. It is inconvenient for the people who go to offer incense and worship gods.

"From the capital to Fengshan, the road is also not easy to walk, not wide and flat enough.

"Even under the Zhen Yu Jian Gong outside the city, a stone step is missing.

"The temples and divine statues promised by the divine beings invited by Celestial Master Nan in Jiguang have not been built yet.

"So please, while studying magical spells, spend some effort to recruit some poor people to repair the roads and build the temples.

"For those who work hard every day and are not lazy, no matter how much work they do, give them enough wild vegetable porridge to eat, and give them ten copper coins every day. Those who can work continuously for a month, provide them with a set of thick clothes. Those who can work until winter, when the temples are almost built, let them spend the winter in them."

After Lin Jue finished speaking, he stood up.

"Yes……"

Everyone looked at each other, but did not refute.

It is just that there are inevitably doubts in their hearts.

Why, knowing that these people are hungry and cold, not give this silver directly to them, but let them work to earn money?

Repairing roads and building temples are all tiring.

Why, after doing hard labor, only give a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, a mere ten copper coins, and not be generous?

No matter how full you eat wild vegetable porridge, it doesn't grow meat.

Ten copper coins are also pitifully small.

Won't others say that True Man Lin is stingy?

It wasn't until they left and walked to the gate of the courtyard that some people gradually realized.

"The True Man is indeed a True Man……"

Several people chatted a few words, and each suddenly realized.

Then they moved the boxes at the door, discussed how to handle this matter, and left together.

Lin Jue stayed in the house and did not go out.

Meditating and drinking tea in the morning, repairing damaged Bean Soldiers in the afternoon, answering questions for a few people in the evening, passing on the Dharma and Dao for them, and studying his own magical spells at night.

Seventh Third Shixiong also started to go out.
