The next morning, in the Lotus Peak, the mountain god cave heaven.

The report from Lin Jue and his junior sister is naturally clearer than the senior brothers, because the two not only walked with fellow Taoists from Qi Yunshan, but also witnessed the demon king release his death aura with his own eyes.

The two of them were also the last to return to the mountain.

Then he saw the mountain god still sitting on the upper stone chair, four guardians, including the green lion, white elephant, black bear, and dragon, beside him, listening quietly to Lin Jue's words until he finished listening.

"It seems that this demon king does have some skills, and fortunately discovered it earlier. If it was allowed to lurk for a few years, and when the world was in chaos and the gods began to worry about the affairs of the God of Incense and Fire, the disasters brought about will definitely be much greater than that at this time."

The mountain god said as he raised his hand, and the token in Lin Jue's hand flew up automatically and flew back to his hand. Then he looked at the two people standing below, and the fox who was squatting at Lin Jue's feet obediently and staring at him.

The mountain god thought for a while:

"Since the storm at the foot of the mountain is over, you should go back and continue your practice. But thinking that you are standing guard for me and have been worshipping me this year, I will give you a treasure."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

Two pieces of gold and iron flew from nowhere and fell into the hands of the two.

The shape of gold and iron is strange, as if it was removed from something big. It feels heavier than ordinary steel, but it is not as good as silver. It feels similar to that mountain god token.

"The ancient emperor once refined alchemy in this mountain. After refining the alchemy, the furnace and cauldron were broken. This is the fragment. It can be used to make some swords, weapons, cauldrons, or other magical tools. I think it is very suitable for you."

"Thank you, the mountain god."

"Thank you, the mountain god!"

"Yeah?"

The fox tilted his head and stared at the mountain god.

"well……"

The mountain god's robe swung his sleeves.

Another piece of gold iron flew over and fell in front of it.

"I have another thing, I really have no one to ask for advice. I want to ask the mountain god." Lin Jue asked when he saw this scene.

"You can ask me everywhere, why bother?"

The mountain god waved his hand, and at some point, two messengers carrying lanterns had silently stood behind Lin Jue.

"Goodbye."

Lin Jue bowed and raised his head, the mountain god and the guardian had turned into stone sculptures and turned around and left.

The two messengers sent him back to the Taoist temple.

With them, the road has become much smoother and less twists and turns.

"Senior Brother."

Walking into the Taoist temple courtyard, the junior sister still holding the gold iron, looked at him in confusion, and asked, "What are you going to use for this?"

"What? Want to learn from me again?"

"What?"

The junior sister scratched her head, not understanding what he said.

Isn’t it appropriate for the junior sister to learn from her senior brother?

"I haven't thought about it yet. And what I think may not be suitable for you. Just think about what you want to use for it." Lin Jue said, "If you like swordsmanship, you can ask the third senior brother to help you make a sword, or think about something else."

"OK!"

The junior sister continued to scratch her head.

The two went back to their room.

That night, Lin Jue went to ask Taoist Yun He again. Both the master and the apprentice had probably confirmed that Fuyaoding had some connection with Empress Yaohua, but he didn't know how deep the connection was.

Therefore, I drank tea and chatted with the empress under the night.

"It was only from this dynasty that the fox demon and fox spirit's reputation became worse. Before this, foxes have always been smart, holy and loyal animals, and so have fox demon and fox spirit." Taoist Yun He said, unable to help but shake his head, feeling sorry for this, "It probably all is in the hands of the poor scholars who play with their pens."

"may be."

Lin Jue knows this.

"It is said that Empress Yaohua is a nine-tailed fox. The nine-tailed fox has always been a symbol of holy and auspiciousness. As long as you don't meet any literati who plays with the pen, you will write it up again." Taoist Yunhe said.

"But when I was at the foot of the mountain, I met the foxes in Li Village, but they didn't seem to think that Fuyao was the same as them."

"They are right, you're thinking a little bit." Taoist Yun He smiled and fell onto the recliner, "The fox is a fox, and the nine-tailed fox is a nine-tailed fox. How can we confuse it?"

“What’s the difference?”

"Do you know the difference between foxes, fox demons, and fox spirits?"

"It probably knows."

"Then do you know the difference between snakes, snake demons, dragons and real dragons?"

Lin Jue was a little confused when he heard what he said.

But it is actually not difficult to understand.

"Dragon" and "Fox Spirit" are both the most representative two mythological creatures in folk legends, and they have been ruined by people.

For a while, people were good at dragons and foxes. When they saw unknown creatures, they didn’t know what they were. They were related to water. They were called dragons. They were related to mountains or people’s houses. They were called foxes.

Snakes are naturally ordinary animals. When snakes become monsters, they are naturally snake monsters. Just like foxes become monsters, they are fox monsters, which should be so corresponding. However, some people in the world respectfully praise snakes with profound knowledge as "dragons". Some people in the previous dynasty randomly called the strange things encountered in the water as dragons. This should correspond to the fact that people see ignorant monsters, which are called fox monsters.

The master should mean that the nine-tailed fox is neither an ordinary fox nor a monster made of foxes, nor is it a fox spirit or dragon that people randomly praise, but rather a type of self-directed or auspicious beast.

Just like a real dragon.

A true dragon is not a snake, and a snake cannot become a true dragon. Just like a nine-tailed fox is not a fox, an ordinary fox cannot become a nine-tailed one.

Lin Jueyu Guang aimed at the fox beside him.

But I saw the fox chasing a fallen leaf on the ground with the candlelight, and occasionally snatching it with the cat.

“…”

Lin Jue withdrew his gaze.

"How could Empress Yaohua entrust it to me? Or is it that Empress Yaohua has too many descendants, and I just happened to meet one of them."

"Who knows this? You must have something worthy of the entrusting of Empress Yaohua."

"I?"

"Ha ha……"

Taoist Yun He was already very old, but he still couldn't help but beat him sideways: "You kid, my disciples are full, and I can still take you in. How come there is no place to entrust you? Don't question my vision because the Empress Yaohua is an ancient powerful person. My Fuqiu Temple is also a legacy of spiritual magic sect that has been passed down from ancient immortals."

"But it doesn't seem to be the one who did it myself." Lin Jue analyzed, "If it were the direct relationship of that empress, she personally asked Shanjun to send it. As her identity as an old man, how could she do this?"

"This is also reasonable, ahem." Taoist Yunhe nodded, "But that Empress is a gift to help you with such a big help."

"yes."

Taoist Yunhe coughed twice again.

The night in late autumn was getting colder and colder. The master did not stay outside for a long time. After drinking hot tea, he went back to his room.

Lin Jue also went back to the room.

The fox naturally followed him back to the room, with his steps brisk and light and his expression natural.

"What about you? You are like the nine-tailed fox of the real dragon and the successor of the Empress Yaohua."

"Yeah?"

The fox looked up and looked at him in shock.

Am I a cat?

Lin Jue shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to it, and turned to the bookshelf and stood.

First, he took out the petals given by Emperor Qing and looked at them a few times. He didn't know what it was for, so he put them back, picked up the Muxin of Lizu and looked at them toss and turns.

If this piece of wood heart is stuck on the ground, it can be about a little above Lin Jue's knees, and at least three bean soldiers can be made. It is fine to design the place where you cut it, and it is okay to be four bean soldiers. The remaining scraps are easy to make shield spears.

But the obsession with remnants of souls is not enough.

The spiritual rhyme on this piece of wood heart gathers the essence of Li Zu's lifelong practice, which is not inferior to the Danguo Wood. There are traces of divine thunder struck on it, which is also contaminated with the spiritual rhyme of divine thunder.

It just so happens that the weakness of the bean soldiers is that they are difficult to deal with ghosts. Maybe the bean soldiers made with them can make up for this weakness.

I got busy for a while later.

Lin Jue also temporarily placed it on the bookshelf.

Finally, there are two pieces of gold and iron.

Just as I was worried about the lack of spiritual gold, the mountain god sent it, and this seemed to be not an ordinary spiritual gold.

It's really delivered just right.

Lin Jue had an idea long ago.
