"Take it."

Lin Jue returned to the room and handed a piece of silver to the silver-eating ghost.

"Thank you, real person."

The silver-eating ghost hadn't eaten for a long time, and was injured, so he was already very hungry. When he reached out to pick up the silver, he was already drooling. He took the silver and immediately sniffed it in front of his nose.

"Hiss! It smells so good!!"

The silver-eating ghost suddenly showed a look of shock, and was moved to tears, and kept saying: "It smells so good! I haven't tasted silver that smells so good for a long time!"

Lin Jue frowned and stared at it.

The little fox also squatted on the ground, standing like a human, stretching its neck, raising its head, and staring at it curiously.

Obviously, no matter whether it is a human or a fox, there is no scent or smell in silver. Isn't it the same smell? At most, when it is taken out from a person, it will have some human smell.

However, knowing that many demons and ghosts have strange things, and that the mysterious laws of the world have always been wonderful, many strange things are difficult for monks to master no matter how hard they practice, Lin Jue was not surprised. However, the fox saw that it was delicious and couldn't help but lick it a few times.

Mouth, I also have the idea of ​​​​trying it.

A small piece of silver, only two taels at most, it just sniffed it again and again, licked it again, put it in its mouth and chewed it slowly before swallowing it.

"Gudong..."

The silver-eating ghost looked at him eagerly.

"How much silver do you need to eat in a month?" Lin Jue couldn't help but ask.

"Normally, you have to eat ten taels of silver in a month to survive and spit out one pill, but the maximum is no more than a hundred taels and spit out ten pills." The silver-eating ghost couldn't help but show fear as he spoke.

He recalled the time when he was in the hands of the Demon King, so he quickly added, "Once the amount of silver eaten per month exceeds one hundred taels, I will be exhausted, and the elixir I spit out will become mixed, and swallowing it will have bad effects.

"

"January 12th..."

Lin Jue couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Not to mention that the upper limit of one hundred taels per month is the lower limit of 11 taels per month. The financial burden on their Taoist temple is not small.

You must know that the brothers in Guanzhong go down to the mountain to eliminate demons, but they never take the initiative to mention the reward money. People can give as much as they are willing to give. If they are rich, they will give more, and if they are poor, they will give less. If they are really poor, give them a bag of various items from the village.

The rice and wheat provided by the household should not be too little.

Where can we get so much money to supply it?

Not to mention that this silver-eating ghost is very picky. The improper origin of the silver directly affects the quality of the elixir. Even without this, it is impossible for Taoist Fuqiu Guan's character to make money wantonly because of this.

But then I thought again——

Maybe that's why the piece of silver tastes so delicious in its mouth.

…

A few days later.

After all, the crisp pears sent by Gongcun of Li Village were not finished. Even though they were provided to the mountain gods and pilgrims, they were not finished. Instead, there were two more old hens in the Taoist temple, some bacon and cloth, all of which came up the mountain.

The pilgrims who returned the gift and thanked them brought it, and some also brought some money.

The junior sister has already started to get busy.

Both the second senior brother and the fifth senior brother are better at making autumn pear ointment, so there is no need for Lin Jue to teach them.

At this time, Taoist Yunhe took a deck chair and sat on the steps outside the main hall. Looking ahead, Lin Jue was the only one sitting next to him, carefully carving wood with a carving knife.

There was already a circle of wood flowers scattered on the ground.

"call……"

The junior sister also lit the fire in the furnace.

There was a large pot on the stove. She used high heat to boil the grated pear puree and pear juice. While she was doing this, she fed the pigs the peeled pear skin and pear core.

I washed my hands when I came back, took a small stool, and sat down in front of the stove seriously, preparing myself for a protracted war.

"Junior sister like you, if you don't find something to do all day long, you feel as if you are not feeling well all over." Taoist Yunhe turned to Lin Jue and said.

"fine."

"Of course you feel good about it! Everything has been done for her!"

"What's the matter? Why did master slander me?" Lin Jue stared at the statue in his hand seriously, without raising his head or stopping his hand movements. "I obviously went to the mountain to find ice powder fruit, just to wait.

She can use the Qiuli ointment after boiling it, which makes her feel that she can be useful, which can be said to be a well-intentioned thing."

"You can always come up with something new and exciting."

“It’s still too busy on the mountain.”

Lin Jue blew a breath to scatter the sawdust, then raised the wood carving to take a closer look.

He looks quite tall and mighty.

"call……"

The fox next to him imitated him and blew.

But the breath he exhaled was very cold.

Gradually in the afternoon, the Taoists gathered in the courtyard again.

There are many things that can be made into snacks in the mountains. Just for making ice powder, there are turtle dove leaves in spring, which can be used to make green turtle dove tofu, and mountain loquats in summer, which can be used to make pomegranate-colored mountain loquat ice powder. In this autumn

There are ice powder fruits, which can be used to make transparent ice powder.

Although it was late autumn at this time, everyone was just like this spring and summer, each holding a bowl of ice powder and eating it, adding some osmanthus, pear grains, hawthorn, raisins and jujube shreds, sour and sweet, and ice cold.

Unexpectedly, there was another knock on the door outside.

"Dong dong."

"I'll go see it!"

The junior sister immediately ran over.

Guests will be received soon.

I just finished delivering all the letters of thanks that I received over the past few days, and I didn’t expect that fellow Taoists from Qi Yunshan came again.

The same three are still there: Taoist Master Jiang Ning, Taoist Master Qingxuan and Junior Brother Ma.

The three of them followed the junior sister in and saw all the Taoists holding bowls and eating. They couldn't help but wonder. They came twice in a row and both times they encountered the Taoists from Fuqiu Temple eating. Could it be that instead of making offerings to the gods every day, they just made offerings to the gods?

All of God’s time is used to study how to satisfy the appetite?

What kind of magical day is this?

"Fellow Taoist is compassionate."

The three of them saluted them.

"Fellow Taoist, don't be merciful. Come and get a bowl." The third senior brother has his own way of receiving food.

"Thank you very much." Taoist Master Qingxuan stood in front, maintaining a saluting posture, waiting for the fellow Taoists from Fuqiu Peak to bring food to him. He declined twice more and said at the same time, "This time it is for

I would like to thank the fellow Taoists from Yishan who went down to slay the demons and protect the living beings from misery. Secondly, the demon-suppression by the God Lord has ended and the dust has settled. We are here to report the results to the fellow Taoists."

"No need to thank you very much." Eldest brother said honestly and politely.

"Sit down and talk." The second senior brother was also very hospitable.

"Let's talk while we eat." The third senior brother was the most enthusiastic.

Taoist Master Qingxuan couldn't refuse, so he took the first bowl and handed it to Taoist Jiang Ning, then took the second bowl and handed it to the junior brother behind him, and then he took the third bowl in his hand.

When I lowered my head and tasted it, I was amazed.

In the spring of this year, the meals and snacks eaten by the Taoist friends at Fuqiu Temple left a deep impression on him, and now he finally tasted them again.

This bowl of cold drink snacks is somewhat similar to the Turtle Dove Tofu from half a year ago, but the difference is not small. In addition to the difference in texture, the biggest difference is that Guanzhong seems to have prepared it this time. The dried fruit in the bowl

It is much richer than last time, with various flavors and aromas mixed together, sour, sweet and sour, making it more comfortable to eat.

"What is this called?" Taoist Priest Qingxuan asked.

"Homemade ice powder." Lin Jue replied.

"I cooked pear paste!" the junior sister also said.

"It must be that the fellow Taoists at Fuqiu Temple are leisurely and elegant." Taoist Master Qingxuan shook his head and sighed, "We have been extremely busy these days. Fortunately, we got the opportunity to come to Yishan to report to all the fellow Taoists.

It’s a little bit of leisure stolen from the busy schedule.”

"It's good to take a rest."

Lin Jue probably knew what they were busy with.

Although the place has settled down at this time, most of the demon king and his forces have been eliminated, and some remaining marginal monsters or small monsters have either escaped or been killed by the heavenly soldiers, but they have just experienced a catastrophe, and the people's casualties are unknown.

To some extent, the hearts of the living need to be stabilized, and the souls of the dead also need to be comforted.

Taoist priests of the Fulu Sect, regardless of Qiyun Mountain or some unknown small mountain temple, they all have to go down the mountain to perform rituals. This is also one of their duties.
