The mountain road covered with gravel was deeply rutted, with clear autumn air and dry roads, making it easy to walk.

There was a big tree next to the road with a thick and straight trunk. There were three Taoists and three donkeys sitting casually under the tree. Two of the gray donkeys stood motionless, and one black donkey was eating grass leisurely. While eating grass, he looked at the two fake donkeys with his eyes. There was some movement on the ground next to him.

"Senior brother..."

The junior sister turned her head in confusion and looked at the side: "Fuyao seems to like digging holes, and she can dig wherever she goes."

There was no sign of the fox next to him, only the broken soil that was constantly being turned out from the ground.

"What's so strange about this? Some people like to build roads on the mountain."

"?"

The little junior sister turned her head to look at him in an instant.

The fox had already dug a hole in the ground that was enough to accommodate it. He heard the sound and poked his head out of the hole and looked at them in confusion.

"Stop digging, you're leaving. Isn't you digging for nothing?"

"Yeah?"

Several Taoists stood up.

Seeing that they were really leaving, the fox had to come out of the hole, turned around and looked at the hole he had just dug reluctantly, shook his head, and walked forward with small steps.

After a few trots and a few jumps, they surpassed the three Taoists and rushed towards a big tree in front of them.

Then he saw it running up the straight trunk of the big tree, stepping on the vertical trunk like walking on the flat ground, and then stopped. His four feet were stepping on the vertical trunk, looking up at the distance leading to the mountain road, as if exploring the way for everyone.

After exploring the road, I turned around and got down.

Bending his body and running down the tree trunk, jumping gently when approaching the ground, bent his limbs slightly, landing lightly, and his fluffy tail sways with the wind.

The junior sister was stunned.

The third senior brother was also a little surprised. Fortunately, he had always been disrespectful, so he turned his head and smiled and said to Lin Jue, "Now, you go to heaven and earth, you are here to the full extent."

“I still don’t know where it came from.”

"You learned to gather animals and adjust birds with your fourth senior brother, and asked if it's just right."

After the third senior brother finished speaking, Lin Jue glanced at him.

"Senior Brother Third, you are so smart."

"What? Oh!" Senior Brother Third slapped his forehead, "I forgot that I had just weaned it when I picked it up, and it was afraid that it wouldn't know it!"

“…”

"But what do you do if you do so many things? Even if the monsters are born, the monsters are not all bad. Even if they are bad monsters, they are not bad when they are born. Why don't it behave like you, junior brother?" said the third senior brother, shook his head, "With Fuyao accompanying you, whether you go down the mountain and walk around the world in the future, or find Taoist temples, it will be much better, at least not that lonely."

Lin Jue and his junior sister couldn't help looking at him.

"Where did the uncle and his men go after they went down the mountain?" Lin Jue asked.

"Look at yourself--"

The third senior brother said to them as he walked:

"Our Taoist temples are also widely connected. After all, there are so many uncles outside. They usually try their best to find new Taoist temples or temples for the disciples who are going down the mountain that are not built or cultivated. If these Taoist temples are raised by local governments or wealthy people, we have a "golden certificate", and they are willing to let us go.

“But usually there are not enough seven.

"If you want to go to the world, go to the world. If you have a pursuit of fame and fortune, you can also go to the capital, anyway.

“…”

The two couldn't help but remain silent when they heard this, and looked at each other again.

The three donkeys walked forward slowly, kicking the gravel on the road, climbing over the small slope, and three Taoists followed leisurely.

“It will be difficult to see it then!

"So you are asked to raise some hobbies on the mountain, and you will be scattered in the world in the future, so that you can pass the time when you practice.

"I envy the fourth junior brother the most. If he leaves, he must have friends from the mountains accompany him. I'm fine. After all, I have so many good men to accompany me, and it will be easy to travel around the world together in the future. Other senior brothers and junior brothers will be a little lonely. I wonder if they think so."

The third senior brother's voice was free and easy, and a little lonely.

The two junior brothers and sisters couldn't help but think.

Only the fox seemed carefree, running back and forth on the road. As long as he turned around and saw Lin Juezai, he would not be worried at all.

Gradually, it reached the foot of Qiyun Mountain.

As a famous Taoist mountain, Qiyun Mountain is far more famous than Yishan. But in terms of mountains alone, Qiyun Mountain is neither as high as Yishan nor as wide as Yishan. When standing at the foot of the mountain on sunny days, you can see Xuantian Temple on the mountain.

Cross the Hengjiang River and climb Daoshan Mountain.

There are many pilgrims on the mountain road, and they often stop in the middle of the road to rest and talk. When they see them wearing Taoist robes, they will talk to them for a few words.

Every time this comes, even the third senior brother will respond politely.

Finally stood at the gate of Qiyun Mountain.

When I looked up, I saw five big characters "Hui Jian Xuantian Temple", and couplets were engraved on both sides of the main door:

Make nature wonderful and clean up the beautiful scenery, and keep the mountains and rivers alive;

If you have something to gain, you will grasp the clouds and sunny days, and incense will be the fate.

It happened that there was a little Taoist priest in the door. After a closer look, he was a little familiar.

It seems to be the little Taoist priest led by Taoist Master Qingxuan from Xiaochuan Village.

The little Taoist priest was walking by, and when he saw them, he immediately recognized them: "Isn't this...a few fellow Taoists from Fuqiu Peak? Please come in quickly!"

The Taoist priests who often receive pilgrims have to be more keen. If they suddenly visit Fuqiu Temple, the younger sister is afraid that she would be stunned on the spot.

"I have not reported it, so I took the liberty to come to my door." The third senior brother said first, "It was true that when we encountered some things on the way back, we felt something was different. We just happened to pass by Qiyun Mountain, so we came to inform the fellow Taoists of Qiyun Mountain. Didn't we know that fellow Taoists Qing Xuan and fellow Taoists Jiang came back from Mingzuo Mountain?"

"I'm back, I've been back a few days ago."

"Please report it."

"Then please wait for a moment, brother."

The little Taoist priest hurriedly left.

The three of them looked at each other.

"Look, I'll leave a few days later, and I'll arrive a few days before us."

"It's not that the report to the official has been delayed."

"Are you reporting to the official? Brother Third, you row too slowly, right?"

“…”

The three of them whispered.

There were also several Taoist priests in the hall, but they all sat cross-legged on the cushion, chanting scriptures and offering sacrifices to the gods seriously, and not daring to open them at all, which was in sharp contrast with their randomness.

Soon, the little Taoist priest came back, and the unreasonable Taoist priest Jiang was followed by him.

Taoist Jiang Ning held the whisk in his arms, his expression was calm, he did not wear a crown scarf during the observation, his hair was combed meticulously, and his feet were breeze. He came to them and saluted each other.

"My fellow Taoist mercy."

"My fellow Taoist mercy."

The first time Lin Jue saw her, he thought of the letter sent to the mountain by the arrester Mao Xue, and the small calligraphy on the page of the hairpin.

"Brother Qingxuan has gone down the mountain to do rituals. Someone has already reported to the head of the tutor. Please follow me."

"good."

The three followed them forward. When they reached the inner courtyard, the head teacher Ling Qing Zhen also came to greet them in person. They invited them to the tea room of the inner courtyard, lit incense, and cooked tea, which seemed to be treated as a distinguished guest.

The third senior brother looked at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue then explained the matter on the road in detail.

"This matter has several common points with our affairs in Yi County, namely silver, money, to be precise, silver, monsters and death energy, and it is daunting to think about it carefully."

“…”

This matter is so big that even Lingqing Zhenren became serious.

Although the entire Jiangnan and its surrounding areas are the source of incense for Emperor Yujian, the core of his temple is here. If there is really a monster with a sphere of influence throughout Huizhou, it is obviously an extremely serious matter for Emperor Yujian.

"You mean, maybe the same thing is behind this?" Taoist Principal Jiang asked.

"I just doubt it, but our ability is not enough. It just so happens that this place is the temple of Emperor Yujian, so I came to know the fellow Taoists from Qiyun Mountain, hoping to inform them of the gods and investigate them carefully."

"Fellow Taoist is too modest. If we had arrived there, we would probably not be able to see through it at all. Even if we saw through it, it would be difficult to see the dead energy from the monster." Zhenren Lingqing said, with a very kind tone. "As for what happened later, please rest assured. We will definitely report to the gods and investigate the entire Huizhou."

"Then we'll feel at ease."

"If it is true as the fellow Taoists say, it will be a great help to the emperor, and there will be rewards after eliminating the monsters."

"good……"

Lin Jue is not polite.
