Chapter 188 I Should Spend the Rest of My Life Here A pot of noodles, the soup base is mushroom and chicken soup, with bacon added, which makes it salty and fresh. My fellow brothers and sisters have been studying for a long time. It’s not that the noodles are really delicious, but people’s eating habits are based on habits and inertia, and can express people’s emotions. The first meal that Lin Jue cooked on the mountain was fu zai noodles, and it was probably the first good meal they had eaten since they had been practicing in the mountains. They ate it often thereafter, and naturally it became a habit. If you don’t eat it for a while, you will miss it all the time. The younger sister complained the most. At this time, you will eat voraciously. Only after he had eaten and drunk his fill, wiped his mouth, and sat down to rest for a while did he gradually stand up. By now Lin Jue has almost learned how to take objects from the air like his seventh senior brother, and he has also found the time to finish writing "Flowers Bloom in an Instant". After finishing this last meal, it is time to move on.

"Brothers, leave the bowl here and I will come back to wash it." The seventh brother said with a smile, "I will see you out." "It's already been delivered so far, why do we need to deliver it again?" said the third brother. "Send him to the official road." said the second brother. "There is only one chicken and duck left from the Cuiwei people. They are both hens and ducks that lay eggs, so we won't take them away. This bamboo forest is suitable for raising chickens. Seventh Senior Brother, you should take good care of them and hatch more chicks. You can cook eggs for them when you don't want to cook every day, and you can have meat every once in a while." Lin Jue said, "If you can't raise them well, you can take a letter to ask Fourth Senior Brother for some tips." "I don't know if the Qingmiao God will come back. Brother, you are not good at fighting, so you should be careful." "I know." The seventh senior brother carried their luggage and said to them, "I heard that there is famine in several places ahead, but it is not serious. If you don't want to eat famine relief pills on the road, prepare more food." "know." We walked all the way to the official road and put our luggage away. There was no need to say goodbye. Lin Jue handed him an envelope, and they waved to each other and left. Senior Brother Seven looked at them with the envelope in his arms. Cars rumbled and bells rang. The fox had no worries and was jumping in front. The colorful beetle was standing on the cart, turning its head and staring at him. It wasn't long before the two sides lost sight of each other. "Hey! Feel free!" Senior Brother Seven couldn't help but smile and immediately opened the envelope. There is also a letter inside - "I have been very happy with my senior brother in the mountains for several years. He has taken care of me and taught me magic. The years have passed so quickly. I am very reluctant to leave. "Knowing that you like drama, and I have learned a few, I will give you some as a gift:

"One is the dragon-transforming play, where weapons and sticks can be transformed into poisonous snakes. It can be used for performance or to scare people. “One is the magic of silver, which can turn bricks, tiles and stones into silver; "There is also 'The Moment of Blossoming' that Senior Brother wants to learn. "This magic is not only beautiful and romantic, it can be admired by others, it can be used for your own enjoyment, and it can also be used for self-defense. If you can practice it to a high level, even the gods and gods will be afraid of it. It's just that it's a little more difficult to practice. Thanks to the blessing of the Green Emperor, who is in charge of flowers, I was able to realize it and my attainments have improved by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, I might not have learned it yet. “Senior brother is extremely talented, maybe he’s faster than me. “It’s all attached below. "After bidding farewell to Second Senior Brother and Junior Sister, Junior Brother will probably stay in the capital for a while. The capital is prosperous and full of famous actors. If you are interested, you can take time to visit the capital after receiving Junior Brother's letter." When Senior Brother Seven read it, he seemed to be able to imagine the tone of Junior Brother. Couldn't help but read it again. After reading it, I saw that there were indeed three books below. In addition to the flower blooming in an instant, there is also a dragon transformation play and a silver illusion play. I don’t know where this junior brother got it from. "Ha ha……" Senior Brother Seven laughed twice and was not in the mood to think about these things for the time being. After putting away the letters and books, he did not return to the Taoist temple, but continued walking forward. Washing dishes? Don’t wait until tomorrow! The seventh senior brother felt his arms and found a few taels of silver left, so he decided to go to the city to have some fun first. Now that he was the abbot, he no longer had to hand over money to the master. All the money was his own, and he could spend it freely. There were no senior brothers to remind him, and he didn't have to hide his feelings from his junior brothers and sisters. Naturally, he felt more at ease than ever before. I feel happy and my steps are brisk. Went straight into the city. Listen to music for half a day and drink all night. When I met a few interesting people, we drank and chatted until midnight, and the red sleeves added fragrance to my body, making me feel as happy as a god. It was not until the next morning, when it was just light, that he stumbled back to the Taoist temple while rushing to open the city gate. When he saw the unfamiliar door of the temple, he subconsciously raised his hand to knock, but suddenly remembered and took his hand back. I knocked but no one answered, I leaned against the door and listened to the sound of bamboo. Only then did I feel sad. This is where I should spend the rest of my life. …… It was another early morning, and the roadside scenery was beautiful. The sun shone on the green onions, the fog was like a veil, and the clouds covered the water and the red clouds surrounded the pasture. On the winding mountain road, two Taoists walked in front, leading a horse, and the horse was pulling a cart. Behind them, one on the left and one on the right, two Taoists were riding on gray donkeys, walking forward unsteadily. "We are almost at Qinzhou, right?" "Um……"

"Second brother, why don't we buy a donkey too? Look, they both sit on their donkeys, so relaxed and happy, as if they were enjoying a trip, while we two are walking under the scorching sun, so miserable!" "I'm not bitter." "Anyway, your temple is almost as remote as the fourth brother's. When you get there and go down the mountain to buy things, you will also have to buy a donkey." "Let's talk about it when we get there." "Forget it. After I send you away, I'll have a horse to ride on!" The third senior brother was very envious of Lin Jue and the younger junior sister’s paper donkey. Lin Jue said nothing. At this time, he held a porcelain bottle in his left hand, walked on the side close to the grass forest, and made hand gestures with his right hand. "Come!" Many dewdrops naturally flew up in the forest, like countless pearls, forming many lines and falling into the porcelain bottle one after another. It looks quite beautiful. The junior sister turned her head and stared at him. The second senior brother's voice came from the front: "You can collect dew from a distance and seal the spiritual rhythm. Junior brother's collection method has reached a new level." "I suddenly realized it by chance." Lin Jue said with a smile, "It's also because of my good teaching." "You really have the best talent. No wonder Master made an exception and accepted you. If you can calm down and practice alchemy, you may be able to recreate the glory of the ancient alchemy." "Brother, don't brag so much..." "I'm not bragging so much." The second brother said calmly, "But you also need to know that those who lack virtue have many desires, and those who lack the Tao have many tricks. Finding a great way is more important than learning a thousand kinds of magic." "Junior brother, remember this." Lin Jue said this and continued picking. The sky and the earth are mostly clean these days, and the dirt on the roadside is mostly dust, so the dew is also very clean and can be used as drinking water. In addition, if you are among famous mountains and beautiful scenery, or in a place with abundant spiritual energy, the dew in the early morning often contains the spiritual charm of the mountains and rivers and the essence of the moonlight overnight. Therefore, dew is also a commonly used thing in alchemy. According to legend, the gods drink dew, and there are children who collect dew for them. Some famous fairies and even insects known for their cleanliness are also believed to live on dew. Not only in alchemy and legend, people in the world also love to drink dew. There was once an emperor in this dynasty who only drank dew. Nowadays, many princes and nobles use dew to make tea, and each has his own reasons. But people don't know that although dew has spiritual charm, it is not something that people who have not learned how to consume it can absorb directly. Moreover, after leaving the grass leaves, there is no other way to store it, and this spiritual charm will naturally dissipate quickly. Lin Jue was not making elixirs, he was just practicing the gathering method. Now that he could collect dew from a distance, his collection method was considered to be somewhat accomplished. If he took it to the next level, he would be able to directly collect the essence of the sun and moon from the spiritual rhythm of heaven and earth and materialize it. If you go up one more step... Mist fragments, morning glow, and evening glow.

As for the materials for this golden elixir, just to master the method of collecting it would probably take a long time of hard practice. Lin Jue shook his head and continued to collect dew. It was not until the sun dispersed the morning mist and the morning dew disappeared that Lin Jue took back the porcelain bottle and stopped practicing. Then he continued to sit on the donkey's back, swaying from side to side, and began to think about his second brother's words. He could not remember the original words of the sentence, but only remembered words like "Those who lack virtue have many desires, those who lack Tao have many tricks", "Those who lack spirit tend to sleep more, those who lack yang tend to be sick more, those who lack wisdom tend to be suspicious, those who lack knowledge tend to be anxious, and those who lack ability tend to have many troubles", and "Those who lack power tend to be angry, and those who lack capacity tend to complain more". If you think about it carefully, a lot of what they say makes sense. Lin Jue himself could hardly tell whether it was because he had seen too many spells before and therefore found it difficult to calm down and specialize in a few, or because he had not found the path that suited him and therefore wanted to practice every kind of spell he saw. I just know that if I don’t study, how can I realize the truth? Finding the path is not that easy. Fortunately, although he still learned a lot of spells, he has gradually developed a focus, which is the direction he likes and is good at, and perhaps it is the Tao. As I walked and thought, the trees gradually became fewer and fewer, and I had already entered the territory of Langfeng County. Now that the autumn harvest season has passed, the fields on both sides of the road are almost all barren. This is normal, but it is a little strange that in the fields ahead of them, there is not a single stubble left after the harvest. Lin Jue sat on the donkey and couldn't help looking back. The sun is bright and there is a boundary marker behind us. But the fields behind the boundary marker were all covered with wheat and corn stubble, only the fields in front were clean. Lin Jue was wondering, but he held the water bottle, tilted his head back and drank the last drop of water. Mouth feels a little dry. But he was not panicked. Unless they go to a place with drought and water shortage, the Taoists don't need to worry about water shortage. Mountain springs and rivers are all water, and people can borrow water from other people's houses. If there is no water, they can drink dew. It was not time for Lin Jue to drink the dew yet, because there were a few scattered houses on the roadside ahead. "I'll go get some water." "I'm almost done with my drink, too." The group soon stopped in front of a house. This family has a small fenced courtyard with an open space inside. It can be seen that one side used to be a vegetable field and the other side was used to raise chickens and ducks, but it is now vacant. "anyone there?" Lin Jue knocked lightly on the wooden door. The fox also stood beside him, put its head in, and looked inside the house curiously. "anyone there?" Lin Jue asked again. But no one responded.

Lin Jue couldn't help but turn around and look at his fellow brothers and sisters, feeling a little strange. The wooden door was clearly open, and the room inside was also open, but no one responded. "Hey~" The fox barked. Lin Jue understood what he meant. "Someone?" "Let's go to another restaurant. Maybe they are taking a nap." The third brother said, "It's the time for a nap." "Something's not right." Lin Jue didn't think so. "Go in and take a look." Having made his decision, he moved forward. When the fox saw him enter the door, it tilted its head and thought for a moment, then jumped in as well. It took one step to the middle of the yard, and then another step and entered the house. The Taoists followed closely behind. I saw a woman sitting on the ground leaning against the wall in the room. She was as thin as a stick. Although her eyes were still open, she was barely breathing. When she saw several people coming in, her eyes moved. "Ok?" Several people ignored etiquette and walked closer to take a look. "What's going on here?" “He looks hungry!” “We don’t have cooked food…” "I have a famine relief pill." The second senior brother took out a famine-relief pill from his arms. "Is there water?" "I still have a little bit." Several people crushed the famine-relief pills one by one, one took the bowl, and one poured water, and they worked together to feed the woman. Lin Jue smelled a bad odor. When I turned around, I saw that the fox had reached the door of another room, but did not go in. Instead, it stared straight inside. The foul smell came from inside. Lin Jue looked over and saw—— Someone actually starved to death at home here.
