Chapter 74: Fuqiu is a True Temple, Mount Yishan has Immortals

The person who came up the mountain was a middle-aged man in soap-colored clothes, leading a donkey, with a standard long knife hanging from his waist, showing that he was a constable.

The wind and snow on the mountain were much heavier than down the mountain. He was not dressed thickly, and even though he had been climbing the mountain, his lips were dark from the cold, his eyebrows and hair were covered in ice, the soles of his shoes were thickened by ice and snow, and both he and the donkey were covered in snow.

The constable looked left and right as he walked.

Seeing Lin Jue wearing a Daoist robe, and this fire red in the ice and snow all over the sky, he couldn't help but be stunned, and only then did he tremblingly arch his hands and ask: "Dare I ask if this is Fuqiu Peak? Fuqiu Temple?"

"Exactly."

Lin Jue hurriedly went to greet him: "Good believer, this is..."

"Oh, I am a constable in Yixian County down the mountain, entrusted by the Daoist priests of Qiyun Mountain to send a letter to the Daoist priests of Fuqiu Temple here."

"Qiyun Mountain?"

Lin Jue understood immediately.

He didn't expect that the Daoist priests of Profound Heaven Temple on Qiyun Mountain would actually send a letter so solemnly to report the investigation of monster elimination.

A few months had passed since then, so he thought the matter in Yixian County had been settled.

He didn't expect it to take so long.

At this time, the wind and snow on the mountain were heavy, and the constable was still standing under the wind and snow, quietly looking at him and the fox beside his feet, his eyes often showing strange brilliance. Lin Jue didn't dare to ask more here, fearing to neglect the person and freeze them, so he hurriedly reached out and said:

"It's too cold outside, please come with me."

"Many thanks, Daoist priest..."

"You're welcome."

The constable followed Lin Jue toward the gate of the Daoist temple, looking left and right as he walked. He saw the young Daoist priest push open the door with a creak, and the fox also stopped to look at him. He hurriedly withdrew his gaze and followed in, but still couldn't help looking at everything in the temple.

It is a quiet and classical Daoist temple.

Inside is a courtyard, the ground covered with snow, neatly paved, but there is only one string of human footprints, which he thought was walked out by this young Daoist priest, but there are many footprints of foxes and cats.

Among them, there is also a string...

The constable's gaze followed these footprints that looked like cats but were larger, and saw a tail hanging down between two pavilion covers on the ancient pine in the courtyard.

Yet it hides in the mountain fog, coming to sleep in this cave cloud.

It was actually a cloud leopard!

The constable was startled and withdrew his gaze.

It seems that the Daoist temple is quiet, and it is classical, but it is extraordinary to see.

The constable naturally dared not be disrespectful—

The Daoist priests of Profound Heaven Temple on Qiyun Mountain only invited celestial soldiers and generals last night to eliminate the big monster hiding behind the scenes in the city. That movement was almost known to everyone, and the county officials and state officials in the city were surprised and awed by it. But the first time the Daoist priests of Qiyun Mountain eliminated the big monster, they entrusted him to send a letter to this Daoist temple. Anyone would know that this Daoist temple and these Daoist priests are also not simple.

Moreover, as a constable of Yixian County, he had heard stories of immortals from this Mount Yishan since he was a child, but it was peaceful before, the road to Mount Yishan was difficult, and the Daoists were cultivating cleanly, so they rarely dealt with the Daoists in the mountains.

This was the first time he had come to this Fuqiu Temple.

The constable aimed his gaze forward—

This little Daoist priest was dressed much thinner than him. In this mountain, he didn't see how he moved, but he didn't look cold at all.

"The main hall only has meditation cushions and no seats, and the main hall is too big and empty. Our Daoist temple doesn't often have people coming, so let's sit in the dining hall first." Lin Jue brought him to the dining hall, closed the door to resist the wind and cold, and found a fire stove and charcoal, lit the fire and brought it to the constable. "Warm up first."

"Many thanks, many thanks..."

The constable hurriedly reached out to the fire stove.

He didn't feel it when he was walking, but now that he stopped and sat down, he felt his whole body shivering. Although there was temperature in the fire stove, it couldn't warm the whole body for a while, but in contrast, the chill became more obvious.

The constable couldn't help but look at Lin Jue.

This winter day in the mountains is so cold, I don't know how they survived, and they are dressed so little.

The Daoist priests of Profound Heaven Temple on Qiyun Mountain are also like people down the mountain in winter, wearing winter clothes and feeling cold. Moreover, it is not as cold down the mountain as it is on this mountain.

Lin Jue was not in a hurry, brought a pot of tea, heated it by the stove, and poured him a cup.

After a little hesitation, he took out the small bottle he had just taken from the Alchemy Pavilion and hadn't had time to put back home, and dripped a drop of spiritual liquid into the cup when he was facing the constable.

"Drink some tea, maybe it will be better." Lin Jue said. "My Master should be sleeping now, but he should be awake soon, I'll go call him."

"Many thanks."

The constable held the tea and looked down.

I don't know why, besides the aroma of tea, there is also a clear fragrance.

Just smelling this fragrance makes one feel comfortable. Moreover, the tea was slightly hot. Holding it in his hand in this winter, the temperature was constantly transmitted from the cup wall, and it was also constantly dispelling the chill, which also gave people a kind of refreshment.

The constable didn't think about anything else and drank a sip first.

But he didn't expect that after the tea entered his mouth, besides the temperature itself, there was also an inexplicable warmth and clear energy, flowing directly from his throat to his chest and abdomen, and then naturally dispersed to his limbs and bones.

Fragrance remained on his lips and teeth.

If you say this tea is good, but after just one sip, the chill on his body actually disappeared without a trace—the tingling and numbness of his fingers and toes were all gone, not only could he move his fingers and toes freely, but he also felt energetic.

"This..."

The constable couldn't help but be stunned.

How could he not know that this cup of tea is extraordinary.

Fuqiu Temple is indeed a true Way.

There are indeed immortals in Mount Yishan.

Looking down, the fox was lying by the fire, tilting its head to look at him.

After a while.

A group of Daoists had surrounded him, mainly an old Daoist priest with white hair and beard who looked like he hadn't woken up.

"Old Daoist priest, old immortal, this is the letter brought by the Daoist priests of Profound Heaven Temple." The constable took out a moist envelope from his arms and respectfully handed it forward.

On the envelope was written: To be opened by fellow practitioners of Fuqiu Temple.

It didn't write a specific name.

The old Daoist opened the envelope, spread out the letter paper, and Lin Jue and several Shixiong stood behind and watched.

A page of small regular script, very beautiful.

Accompanied by the constable's narration:

"The Daoist priests of Profound Heaven Temple on Qiyun Mountain stayed in the city for a few months, setting up altars every day, setting up tables every night, and running around. I heard them talking to the big figures in the city, saying that they set up a net, invited the Thunder Gods of the Thunder Department to investigate carefully, and also found the local deities to inquire and investigate, and finally found the monster hiding behind the scenes and making trouble before the New Year."

"It is a very fierce big monster, turned from a mouse."

"And the big monster also has monsters under its command."

"It is said that Lord Yili Shenjun descended to the mortal realm in person, and finally eliminated the big monster. And in the battle of magic, many of the Daoist priests of Profound Heaven Temple were affected and injured. Those who were not injured were those who worked hard all night and were sick from wind and rain, otherwise, they would have come to send the letter to the Daoist priests themselves. They asked me to help pass a word, asking the Daoist priests to understand."

When the constable was narrating, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

I think that even if it were him, in this life, he had never seen a situation where a god descended to the mortal realm to eliminate monsters.

Such things are mostly heard in ghost stories.

I didn't expect it to happen around me.

The old Daoist was still looking down.

What was written on the letter was not much different from what he said.

It is indeed a mouse monster that has gained climate.

Stealing silver and collecting money is to move to a remote place in the future, build temples and set up statues, collect believers widely, gather incense, and achieve an evil god.

It's just that besides the ins and outs and the eliminated monsters, the letter also specifically thanked the Daoist priests of Fuqiu Temple for their notification. The wording was exquisite and the format was neat, which could be said to be very solemn.

"Whoosh..."

Daoist Yunhe put away the letter.

Lin Jue stood behind him and thought.

At that time, the spirit immortal invited by the Sixth Shixiong wrote a poem saying that this matter did not seem easy.

Lin Jue neither knew how much of the predictions made by this spirit immortal were correct, nor did he know whether Lord Yili Shenjun descending to the mortal realm in person and the fellow Daoists of Profound Heaven Temple being affected and injured counted as the difficulties in the spirit immortal's mouth, but he thought that Lord Yili Shenjun eliminating monsters in person was always reliable.

This Shenjun is already a proper Husheng Husheng Zhenjun in the sky, and he is considered to have old qualifications and prosperous incense among the True Lords. Even if the Daoist priests of the Many Yaoguai Method Sect cultivate to the realm of "attaining the true and attaining the Dao" and finally ascend to heaven to become immortals, it is not necessarily that they will be more powerful and have a higher status than him.

If even the Divine Lord can't do it, then it is not something that the Daoist priests of Fuqiu Temple can intervene in.

And the Shenjun is not something they can question.

"Since the fellow practitioners of Profound Heaven Temple have already invited the True Lord to descend to the mortal realm to eliminate the monster, I think the city must be peaceful. If there is anything else, come to Fuqiu Peak to find us, or go to Qiyun Mountain to invite them." Daoist Yunhe put the letter paper aside and said to the constable, "It is late today, and it takes a whole day to travel to and from the city. There is a guest hall in the temple. The squad leader will stay in the temple for one night and leave tomorrow."

"The little one is just an ordinary constable, how can I deserve the title of squad leader from the old immortal?"

"The poor Daoist is also just an ordinary old Daoist, how can I deserve the title of old immortal from the squad leader?" Daoist Yunhe laughed and got up, and said to Lin Jue, "Sending a letter has never been an easy task, not to mention the mountain road is difficult to walk. Cook a few good dishes at night to entertain the squad leader."

"Understood."

This was a matter of course.

In this temple, in terms of food, Lin Jue holds great power.

The old Daoist ordered him, and he ordered the Shixiong.

These Shixiong, in order to eat a good meal, also fully respected his authority. Whatever he said was whatever it was.

At this time, the sound of pig squealing rang out in the temple, shaking the mountains and forests.

When the Little Xiao Shimei who was building the road returned from outside, she saw several Shixiong holding down a pig. The Third Shixiong took a long sword, casually made a sword flower, and stabbed it into the pig's throat.

The Sixth Shixiong used a basin to catch the pig blood.

The pig struggled desperately, and the snow in the courtyard was trampled into a mess.

"..."

The Little Xiao Shimei scratched her head.

So cruel, so greedy.

Not long after, a pig was decomposed. When the sky gradually darkened, Lin Jue was already busy in the kitchen.

The Little Xiao Shimei was holding a colored civet cat, responsible for burning the fire. The night and the firelight reflected each other, and she looked up at Lin Jue: "Shixiong, didn't you say you would kill the pig in a few days? Why did you kill it today?"

"There is a guest coming today."

"Ah?"

"It is a constable from Yixian County, who braved the wind and snow to send us a letter. The letter written by the fellow practitioners of Profound Heaven Temple on Qiyun Mountain specifically came to inform us that the monster in Yixian County had been eliminated."

"Did he come specifically to send a letter? In such heavy snow."

"Yeah."

The Little Xiao Shimei nodded, clearing her doubts, and then her eyes lit up: "Shixiong, I have something to tell you!"

"What is it?"

"I found a small tree in the mountain! It's a treasure! It's under the mountain where I'm building the road, under the highest valley. When there is fog, it will emit light. It must be much better than those I picked before, and those you picked on the mountain, Shixiong!" The Little Xiao Shimei was very excited, but paused, and then became difficult. "It's just that it's a bit difficult to go down, and it seems that there are monsters in the mountain guarding it, otherwise I would have picked it back for you to refine pills and medicine, Shixiong."

"Oh..."

Lin Jue replied very calmly: "I saw it a long time ago, and I saw it again when I picked medicine yesterday."

"Ah?"

"There are indeed monsters guarding it, and quite a few. Even if you go down, you can't pick it."

"Does it have an owner?"

"Hard to say..."

"Then what to do?"

"I'm thinking about it too..."

Lin Jue showed a thoughtful look while cooking.

Actually, he had been thinking about it for several days.

Originally, he didn't know the way. Even if he asked the Second Shixiong, the Second Shixiong just smiled and said to follow his fate. However, when he went up the mountain to pick medicine with the Second Shixiong yesterday, the Second Shixiong's words gave him a train of thought and inspiration.

"I probably know, but I'm not sure if it will work. I'll observe for a few days." Lin Jue said. "It just so happens that I also want to tell you. If it works, you can go with me next time."

"Then should I tell the Shixiong?"

"I have already said it. The Second Shixiong said that since we met, it is our fate. Mount Yishan is very big, and they have their own opportunities."

"Understood."

The Little Xiao Shimei answered very honestly. ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
