"This……"

Several Shixiongs looked at each other, feeling strange, but seeing that Little Ma Shidi and Little Xiao Shimei were quite respectful to this flower-robed dog-headed person, they didn't question it.

They just thought that the ancestor Shishu was really down and out to such a point.

"That is also a fate." Third Third Shixiong said.

"Who says it isn't?" Flower Senior glanced at Lin Jue and Little Xiao Shimei quickly, seeing that they didn't expose it, and quickly changed the subject, "Some time ago, when autumn just started, a group of fierce beasts came to the mountain. The two sheep you raised were caught and eaten by the wolf pack as wild sheep on the mountain. This Daoist originally wanted to drive them away, but saw that there was a 'Fuqiu Temple' wooden sign hanging on the wolf's neck. It should be placed by you, right?"

"Eh? This?" Little Xiao Shimei looked at Fourth Third Shixiong, and then at the wolf pack behind him, "Yes, it is."

"Sure enough, it is like this. This Daoist is relieved." Flower Senior nodded with his hands behind his back, "I guess it is like this. This must also be what you allowed."

"Yes, it is……"

Just at this moment, Flower Senior's ears moved, and he keenly captured a little movement in the Daoist temple.

"Eh? Why is there a little baby in the temple?"

"Just about to inform Senior!" Little Xiao Shimei immediately bowed and said, and ran into the hall, hugged the little girl out, and introduced her to Flower Senior, "This is a little girl I picked up in Zhang Ziyun County. Her parents were killed by the collapsed house, and they only protected her. I have a fate with her, so I hugged her back and intend to take her as a disciple."

"Take her as a disciple?"

"Yes!"

"That is the second generation successor of Fengshan Hongye Guan……"

"It is the second generation I started."

"Ah……"

The flower-robed person's expression became even more sighing.

Getting older, seeing the younger generation, it is easier to feel a sense of "I am already old" in comparison. And this is not only the successor of Fengshan Hongye Guan he has seen, but also the second time, and the inheritance was once interrupted in the middle, and now it is connected again.

"I saw that she was really pitiful. It's interesting for several Shixiongs to take disciples, and on the mountain, it's a bit cold and bitter when there are few people, so I took her." Little Xiao Shimei said, "Please take care of her in the future, Senior."

"Taking a disciple is good, taking a disciple is a good thing." The flower-robed person nodded, "Only one point needs to be noted."

"What?"

Little Xiao Shimei's attitude was very sincere.

This sincerity is not only respect for the senior and gratitude for his help in taking care of the Daoist temple, but also because Little Third Shixiong once said: This Flower Senior likes face. As long as you flatter him and be respectful to him, he will feel very happy and useful in his heart. In this way, it will be very easy to get along with him.

With the example of "refuting the senior" in front, she didn't doubt her Third Shixiong's words at all.

"Please give me guidance, Flower Senior!"

"It is to teach well, and don't let her neglect Daoist studies and magical spells, and be lazy and not enterprising." The flower-robed person sighed, paused and said, "And guard against the Star Gazing Palace and Yushan. After all, the Star Gazing Palace is the ancestral court of the Talisman Sect in this dynasty, and the Spirit Dharma Sect in Qinzhou has always respected Yushan, especially in the vicinity of the capital. Although there are no written rules, everyone has tacitly agreed that only Yushan can open a mountain and establish a sect and recruit disciples in the capital. Therefore, other Daoist temples will not set foot in it."

"Flower Senior, these are two points." Third Third Shixiong said from the side.

"This……"

The flower-robed person's face was slightly embarrassed.

Little Xiao Shimei frowned and looked at Third Third Shixiong.

Third Third Shixiong quickly retracted his gaze.

One thought, how could this Third Shixiong delay her flattering Flower Senior?

Another thought, this senior's status in the hearts of Ma Shidi and Xiao Shimei is really extraordinary. It seems that he cannot be offended at will again.

"I guess when Flower Senior thought about it, he only thought of one point, but because he was concerned about the younger generation, he blurted out the second point while speaking." Lin Jue said.

"Hiss!"

Little Xiao Shimei was shocked, took a deep breath, and looked at Lin Jue with the eyes of "as expected of Third Shixiong".

Then she also nodded in agreement:

"I guess so too!"

"Right, right, right! That's it!" The flower-robed person was very satisfied, "Hahaha……"

"Then please ask Flower Senior to explain in detail!"

"If you want to explain in detail, it is also very simple. Regarding the Star Gazing Palace, I have already told you. You don't obey discipline and affect their fooling the people and gathering incense, so they will naturally be dissatisfied with you. And you are just practicing here. As long as you take a disciple, you have left a legacy. From now on, the orthodox Spirit Dharma Daoist temples in the capital will no longer be just Yushan, and even the orthodox Spirit Dharma Daoist temples in the entire Qinzhou will no longer exclusively respect Yushan. When you go out to participate in Daoist meetings and grand ceremonies, the prominent Daoist temples in Qinzhou and the capital will all have two families, and they won't necessarily be happy."

Pausing as he spoke:

"Yushan is close to the capital, and it is inherently different from your Mount Yishan Fuqiu Peak. You are hidden and practicing, but they are not. You mostly show your faces in chaotic times and make a stir. In prosperous times, the disciples who go down the mountain mostly practice alone, and the name weakens. But they go down the mountain regardless of prosperous or chaotic times, and are good at management and dealing with the imperial court, and are somewhat contaminated with secular miscellaneous energy.

"Therefore, things that you think are nothing, they will mind.

"Many years ago, Empty Valley Daoist was like this. When he started practicing in Fengshan, Yushan didn't say anything. When he took a disciple and made it clear that he wanted to take root here, Yushan was unhappy.

"Of course, they won't play any conspiracies. However, they will come to you to discuss the Dao.

"Empty Valley Daoist's ability was good at that time, so he was not afraid. "But by the second generation, it was not as good as him. By the third generation, it was even worse. By the last generation, not only was there no ability, but the mind

"That is why I told you to teach your disciples well."

Senior Hua spoke with earnestness, very much in the manner of a senior.

"So that's how it is."

The junior sister nodded.

If that was the case, she was not particularly worried.

For one thing, her generation had, after all, fought side by side with the Daoist masters of Mount Yushan in the northeast, so they were somewhat more familiar with each other than before.

For another, she believed her own abilities were not inferior to the seniors of the past, and under her senior brother's guidance, they were even better; if the Daoist masters of Mount Yushan came to discuss the Dao, she would not be afraid.

Finally, she was headed toward achieving the Truth and attaining the Dao.

This was the greatest difference between her and the Daoist of the Empty Valley.

If one could achieve the Truth and attain the Dao, and avoid great calamities, one would not die; so how could there be such a thing as "one's descendants being incompetent after one's death and being driven away by others"?

However, on the surface, she still had to say:

"Many thanks for your guidance, Senior!"

!

"Hmm, a good child who understands propriety."

"Senior Hua, it just so happens that we only arrived at the mountain today, and we were preparing to visit you after tidying up." Lin Jue also stood out and said, "It has been a long time since we last met. Since Senior Hua has arrived here, why not stay for a couple of days as a guest, so that we juniors can host you properly?"

"That would be too much trouble!" the flower-robed person feigned a refusal.

"It's no trouble at all, it is only right," Lin Jue said. "What kind of dishes does Senior like to eat?"

"Farm-style dishes, farm-style dishes will do." As the flower-robed person spoke, he almost drooled, "This poor Daoist has been cultivating on the mountain, and it has been quite some time since I've eaten human food, especially the kind you make."

"I will certainly satisfy you, Senior."

Lin Jue and the junior sister exchanged a glance.

This Senior Hua still possessed a spell for transforming one's body into a breeze, which was quite profound and useful. Although Lin Jue now had both the Shrinking Spell and the Feather Transformation Spell, making travel much more convenient, such a spell still had its unique uses. Lin Jue had been thinking about it for a long time, but since he had already obtained the Paper-Cutting Spell from Senior Hua and received guidance on the Long Bo Bean Soldiers, he had been too embarrassed to ask him for it again.

Now that they had just returned from Zhang Ziyun County in Mount Modu, thanks to the Queen Mother of the West generously gifting them many magical artifacts, they still had some left over.

Today, they had also flattered this Senior Hua until he was floating on air.

If they followed up with a good meal according to his tastes, coaxed him with good wine and dishes, and gifted him one or two magical artifacts or treasures that suited his heart, Lin Jue would feel comfortable asking, and he would likely agree readily and happily!

The two senior and junior siblings exchanged glances quickly.

Immediately, Lin Jue looked at the third senior brother again.

Unfortunately, this senior brother was dull and did not understand what it meant. He had just happened to hear that sentence, and feeling his robe being nudged by a two-headed black-and-white fragrant pig, he whipped out his sword—

The junior brother must want his help to slaughter the pig!

"You're the one!"

The third senior brother grabbed the pig by its ears and headed toward the kitchen.

The sixth and fifth senior brothers also went to help.

However, soon, the third senior brother understood the intention behind that look from his junior brother, as well as the junior brother's painstaking efforts—

This senior dog demon was actually a master of the Paper-Cutting Spell!

And with over a hundred years of study and immersion, he had already achieved profound mastery.

The Paper-Cutting Spell and the method of carving beans into soldiers were not the same, yet they had commonalities; there were places to learn from each other's strengths, draw inferences, and thereby improve the method of carving beans into soldiers or even gain insights into more profound spells.

By evening, many luxurious palaces and pavilions had suddenly appeared on the iron chain bridge and the Daoist temple in the mountains.

One knew not when they were built; they likely came from the heavens.

A strange fragrance also emerged, gradually drifting far away.

Senior Hua was just a common dog; where had he ever entered such a luxurious and elegant place? The whole dog clearly became restrained, not knowing where to put his hands or where to look.

Fortunately, the junior sister took care of him and even gave him her little disciple to play with.

Dishes were gradually served on the table.

Lin Jue specially made several good dishes, braising dragon bones and marrow bones. Especially the braised dishes—let alone Senior Hua, even the Mountain God of Mount Yishan, who had lived for so many years, had never tasted such flavors.

He ate until he almost swallowed his tongue; for a few moments, it was as if he had transformed into his original form.

After a few more cups of fine wine, Senior Hua gradually let go.

The third senior brother discussed the Paper-Cutting Spell with him, and the junior sister asked him about recent events on the mountain. Senior Hua spoke eloquently. By the time Lin Jue carefully selected two magical artifacts obtained from Zhang Ziyun County—one being a moon-wheel flying knife with sharp edges that could fly out on its own to injure people, and the other a wooden sword made of spiritual wood—and gifted them to him, there was no need for Lin Jue to even ask or request; as soon as he mentioned Senior Hua's spell, he took it out himself, saying he would pass it on to the juniors that very night.

The name of this spell was elegant and interesting: the Unrestrained Spell.
