The fox was also smart. It tilted its head, rolled its eyes, and retorted:

"Xu Yi and Pumei's abilities are getting stronger and stronger. Recently I... recently you gave Pumei dragon scale flying blades, taught Xu Yi the method of Gang Qi, and found things for them to do. Don't worry about them."

When Lin Jue heard this, he smiled.

So it heard it!

It ignored this side when it was playing crazy, and thought its ears would automatically close at that time.

"But what about the immortal tree?"

"Master Wan Gong guards it!"

"What about the storage pavilion?"

"Master Wan Gong guards it!"

"Hmm..."

Lin Jue pretended to be troubled and thought, then said: "No, I still trust you the most."

The fox couldn't help but look solemn.

As if the Daoist's expression and tone gradually made it realize that it was indeed indispensable, irreplaceable, and this matter could not be done without it.

However, the next moment, it opened its mouth, raised its head like a yawn, and like a human laugh:

"You lost again!"

"Sigh, you are still amazing." The Daoist smiled, then said directly, "It is because that Mount Yuanqiu was once the Daoist field of the previous previous Tianweng, and that Tianweng once fought with Jun Niangniang Yao Hua, and Fuyao looks very similar to Jun Niangniang Yao Hua. It is not certain whether that Tianweng is still in Mount Yuanqiu, so I am afraid it will be dangerous to take you with me."

"Can't the fox turn into a cat?"

"I'm afraid not."

"Turn into a crow?"

"I'm afraid not either."

"A dog?"

"No."

"Then donkeys, mice, and rabbits definitely won't work." The fox thought for a while, then tilted its head and asked, "What if I turn very small and hide?"

"Probably not."

"Then the fox can only be a supervisor!" The fox looked serious, "The fox will make them study and work hard!"

"That's right! The bitterness you suffered when you learned to read and write before, now let them suffer it again, it's equivalent to sharing the bitterness you suffered before with them, and it becomes happiness!"

"That's right!"

One person and one fox looked at each other.

"Remember to stay in the mountains and don't go out easily. If any divine being comes to find trouble, don't conflict with them. First tell them that this is my Daoist field, and then tell them that you are a good Yaoguai, and you have more merit in eliminating Yaoguai than them. If it still can't be avoided, don't fight, just leave. Go to the palace to find Lord Luo, come to find me, or return to Mount Yishan, all are fine."

Lin Jue thought rationally. Even if Emperor Zi Xu is overbearing and eager to eliminate Yaoguai, he will not come to find trouble with him and Fuyao at this time when he has just taken the throne.

No matter what, it will be pushed back many years.

It is very likely that it will first involve Jun Niangniang Yao Hua, and then involve Fuyao through Jun Niangniang Yao Hua. At least it is only when he intends to take action against Jun Niangniang Yao Hua that he might start from here.

But just in case, I will give a warning first.

This kind of thing is always better to be cautious.

On this Xinyi flower tree mixed with pink and powder, only flowers but no leaves

, the fox jumped lightly and turned into a breeze and flew back to the mountains.

"It's Fuyao who has grown up, or the senior brother's ability has slightly declined. Now even Fuyao can't be deceived." The junior sister stood aside and said.

"Fuyao is a fox, born to see through the human heart, born to be good at deceiving people, I naturally can't deceive it." Lin Jue said and waved his sleeve, "Let's leave this set of tables and chairs here. If it's not blown away by the wind, maybe in some year when I have the interest, I can come here to boil tea and enjoy flowers again."

"I heard that Xinyi flower petals can be eaten?"

"Yes, wrap it in powder and fry it."

"Let's go, senior brother."

The two of them also went back to pack up a little, and then set off for Mount Yuanqiu.

Originally, they intended to ride the clouds and fog, which was the fastest. But just as they were about to go out, they happened to meet the three little ones returning from eliminating Yaoguai in the mountain forest below. They rode paper donkeys, carried long swords, and walked on the road that Ziyun was about to repair, chatting and laughing, showing youth and happiness.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then summoned the paper donkeys, wore long swords, and went to the distance along the mountain road leisurely.

The grass by the road was covered with dew, and the donkeys stepped over, bringing up some yellow sand.

In spring, the whole world is full of vitality. Everything you see is new grass leaves, green and green, reflecting the sun, stepping over the morning dew. The weather is neither cold nor hot, making people's mood very good. Even this road, I don't know if I have walked it before or not, I just feel like I have returned to the past, picking up the footprints left on the official road of Huizhou back then.

Flying Mountain is by a winding river.

The river bends into a horseshoe shape, and it just happens to fall in the bend. The spring water is bluer than the sky, the shore is full of reeds, and there are bamboo forests. The reeds bend, and the bamboo forests also bend, all reflected in the clear water.

There are bamboo rafts on the river, and there are also boats passing by.

"Good to let the guests know! This mountain is Flying Mountain. It flew over suddenly when the previous dynasty was about to end. There were knowledgeable officials who came to see it, saying that it was in the southwest before, thousands of miles away! Everyone says that a mountain moving by itself without reason and without sound is a sign that a dynasty is about to perish. Look, not many years later, the previous dynasty perished!"

A boatman on the water said to several people in their fifties or sixties dressed as scholars in the cabin:

"Look at these people who take bamboo rafts across the river, they are all here to see it!"

"There are also Huizhou people among us, how could we not know about this?" A scholar smiled and pointed to another man beside him, "Besides, this Tang Gong liked these strange stories the most when he was young. He has been to this Flying Mountain many times! Hahaha!"

Another scholar surnamed Tang smiled modestly and stroked his beard.

The boat quickly crossed the water, the green waves separated layer by layer, the bamboo shadows and reed shadows rippled, revealing the two people riding donkeys on the shore.

The donkeys stopped obediently, and the two looked at Flying Mountain on the opposite bank.

The mountain shadow was also reflected in the clear water.

There were seven or eight people on this bank, and seven or eight people on the opposite bank. There was one bamboo raft on the water, waiting to come over there, and waiting to go over here. They were probably all here to see this rarity and mystery of Flying Mountain.

The river bank was relatively desolate, with only a few families hidden about two miles to the left of Flying Mountain. There were no families on or under Flying Mountain.

However, on the opposite bank of the river, half a mile at the foot of the mountain, there was a very small thatched cottage, and it was unclear whether it was a family or not.

"I heard that the locals are a bit in awe of it, afraid that it will move away one day, so they dare not reclaim farmland on it, let alone build houses, and even dare not get too close to it, saying that it might move." Lin Jue said on the donkey, "This may also be related to the wonderful legends about it that spread from time to time."

"Are we going over by raft?"

The junior sister took a few copper coins from her arms and looked at the immortal senior brother who had no money.

The senior brother nodded.

The two sat on the raft to the middle of the water, enjoying the sky and clouds reflected in the water.

The owner of the raft said to them:

"That little house? It was built only last year. I don't know who it came from. The courage is really big. I'm really not afraid that one day I will wake up and go to the southwest! I guess it's someone who wants to seek immortals and is crazy!"

"Is this Flying Mountain really that magical?"

"How can that deceive people! Not to mention that it flew from nowhere back then, I was young at the time and didn't know. But since it came here, those who came here specifically to see it from all over the world have constantly encountered strange things and seen immortals."

"Are there any recently?"

"There was one last month! It is also said that I saw many big snakes inside, as big as dragons!"

"..."

During the narration, the bamboo raft slowly reached the opposite bank.

Lin Jue looked into the distance, the junior sister looked at the small house, and after a while, the two exchanged.

"Hmm?"

Lin Jue suddenly felt something was wrong.

The two rode the donkeys forward.

There was a road by the shore, which was often walked by tourists, almost straight to Flying Mountain. The small house was on the left side of this road, at a distance from the road, with a small path in the middle leading to it.

After leaving the climbing road often walked by tourists and walking on the small path leading only to the small house, farmland could be seen on both sides, all close to the path, reclaimed squarely and very regularly. Vegetables common in Huizhou at this time were planted inside, and wheat was also planted, and seedlings had just been clicked.

The junior sister also began to feel something was wrong.

A black thin dog lay in front of the house.

Bursts of blue smoke came out of the house.

Seeing the two walking over, the thin dog stood up immediately and stared at them with suspicious eyes.

At this time, the two looked at each other.

"Don't you recognize us?"

"Come here, Xiao Hei!"

Only then did the thin dog remember and ran over immediately.

Then with a creak, the door was pushed open.

Standing at the door looking over was a middle-aged Daoist priest wearing a Daoist robe, rolling up his sleeves and trouser legs. Because his face was honest and his face was vicissitudes, he looked like an old farmer.

It was the senior brother!

Although Lin Jue was a bit surprised, after thinking about it carefully, he didn't feel strange.

Last year, Lin Jue talked about the relationship between this Flying Mountain and Mount Yuanqiu on Fuqiu Peak, and talked about the possibility of phoenixes in Mount Yuanqiu. Lin Jue's search for phoenix feathers was originally for them to refine alchemy. The senior brother must have thought of this, and happened to have time, so he came here in advance.

"Third Shixiong brother!" The junior sister said, "Why are you here?"

"Nothing to do, idle is idle, so I came here to try my luck." The senior brother said truthfully, "Anyway, it's not far from here, and the mountain is not far. If I want to go back, I can go back at any time."

"Third Shixiong brother also planted so many vegetables and food!" The junior sister turned her head and looked everywhere.

"Idle is idle, anyway, I have to eat here, it's better to plant some myself." The senior brother said, "What I plant myself, it's comfortable to eat."

"Third Shixiong brother really can't forget the hoe wherever he is."

"Sigh..."

"Then how is the senior brother's luck?"

"I don't think it works." The senior brother shook his head, "I have lived here for a year. Although I go back once every ten days or half a month, I live here most of the time, and I have never seen it show any strangeness. But I have confirmed that it is strange."

"How to say?"

"Last month, I returned to Mount Qian to worship the master. I went back and lived for one day. That night, someone happened to travel at night and broke into Mount Yuanqiu by mistake." The senior brother said, "At first, I thought he was making it up, and the words of 'big snake' were also referring to the legends of people before. As a result, I visited him and found that a leaf fell in his clothes, full of spirituality, and it could not be grown in the depths of the Black Mountain."

The junior sister was stunned when she heard this, and turned to look at the little senior brother, wanting to exchange eyes with the little senior brother and then tease the senior brother, but saw that the little senior brother was focusing on teasing the dog there.

Her expression condensed, and she had to say alone:

"It seems that the senior brother has no fate with it."

The little senior brother was still focusing on teasing the dog beside him, teasing happily, as if he couldn't hear them talking.

"You look exactly like your mother!

"If you don't recognize me next time, I will turn you into a mouse!"

The thin dog's Dao practice was not enough, and it couldn't understand at all, just jumping and wanting to bite the branch in his hand.
