There was a stone pot on the small stove, and three people were sitting around the stove, with a fox and a colorful raccoon beside them.

What is boiling in the pot is pickled radish and old duck soup. The pickled radish is already dark in color, and the duck is two whole ducks, with a few dried mushrooms added, and golden yellow and fiery red fat floating on the side. Next to it are vegetables.

The fresh meatballs with green onions and the risen dough are used for cooking in the second half of the process.

Under the steaming heat, one person pulled off a duck leg.

The little junior sister stood up again, took a spoon, and filled a bowl of soup for herself first, and then for her senior brother and Luo Monk.

"Where did Mr. Luo go a few days ago?"

"I am also in the city, hanging out with a few Jianghu people, and I can hear some news from their mouths." Luo Monk raised the bowl and moved forward, "Thank you, Taoist Master Liu."

"What news?"

"There is news from the capital as well as news from outside, such as monsters in the north, wars on the border, and the descendants of the Yue King and the magistrate of Huizhou in the south who are trying to make trouble. I don't know how true or false they are." Luo Gong held a bowl of soup with Lin.

Jue said, sighing and shaking his head, "Everything I say is just talking about how many years this court can last."

"What do you think, Mr. Luo?"

"I..."

Luo Monk hesitated for a long time, but still shook his head: "Three feet of ice is not a day's cold, the building is about to collapse, and it is not a day-to-day decay. This court is already ruined."

Lin Jue saw deep regret in his eyes.

Suddenly I thought of that year——

This Luo Gong comes from a family of generals. When he first came to the capital, he was full of ambitions and wanted to serve his family and country.

Now I feel this way.

The junior sister looked calm, held the bowl, lowered her head, blew in a puff of white smoke, put her mouth against the edge of the bowl and inhaled lightly, and there was a puffing sound.

The old duck and Lao Tan pickled radish have been simmered together for a long time. The soup base is thick, fresh and sour. It is very delicious and piping hot after entering the mouth. Even when you swallow it, you will feel the warmth in your throat and warm your heart.

Mr. Luo sighed and said, "My dream of a capital city when I was young is probably coming to an end."

"Is Mr. Luo going back?"

When the junior sister heard this, she raised her head and looked at them.

"If we can't realize our ambitions in the capital, we will naturally have no choice but to go back, but not now." Luo Monk still shook his head and said, he hesitated several times before blurting out, "I can't bear to leave."

"Um……"

Lin Jue knew that many people these days had the dream of being in the capital, and those literati were the most important.

Because this was once the most prosperous dynasty in the world. This was the largest and most prosperous city in the world. It was the center of heaven and earth. All government orders were issued from here. All folk customs and money circulated here. Many civil and military celebrities from ancient times to the present were here.

This place is famous in history.

Many people dream of coming here, staying here, or even dying here.

However, for a person like Luo Gong, and in such an era, Lin Jue thought that he would either serve the imperial court and remain famous forever, or he would have to leave his name in history somewhere else.

Anyway, he has already shown his fame, and everyone in the world knows the word Luo Seng, so it is impossible for him to remain unknown.

"Today is New Year's Eve. Let's save these discussions for next year." Luo Monk said, "In the past few days, I have often heard about you among the people in the capital."

"Those two stone horses?"

"Thinking about the two stone horses, what happened in the courtyard of Juxian Mansion that day, and how you went to return the favor to Tao Tao who was playing with the flying knife, it became a beautiful story." Luo Monk said.

After a pause, "Some people said that during this period, white cranes often fly to Fan Tianshi's house, saying that Fan Tianshi not only lives with spirits, but also associates with cranes, hahaha..."

When I said it later, I was smiling.

Lin Jue also smiled.

These people can't even tell the difference between an egret and a crane.

So the three of them ate meat and soup, taking a fox, a raccoon dog, and two old ducks with them. After they were completely eaten, they added vegetables and boiled them, and even pulled out the dough and threw it in to cook.

For a moment, Luo Gong could only lament again that Taoists like them on the mountain would still eat it.

While eating, there was a scream outside.

The junior sister, Fox, and Caili stopped their mouth movements almost at the same time and turned to look.

Outside the house was the street. I could no longer see where the scream was coming from. I could only see a curved trace of smoke in the sky that was not completely dark, and then I heard a roar.

A ball of colorful stars exploded in the sky.

This is a human magic.

"Set off fireworks." Luo Monk said, "After eating, go out and have a look, and then come back to get drunk. Apart from anything else, the fireworks are more beautiful than anywhere else in the capital."

"That's exactly what I meant."

The three of them worked together to clean up the mess and even drank the soup.

I don't know how many bowls of soup each person drank. I just felt like my stomach was shaking when I walked. By the time I got to the door, it was completely dark and fireworks were going off all over the sky.

The Taoist in Taoist robes, the warrior with a long sword hanging on his waist, as well as the white fox and the colorful raccoon stepped out of the threshold one after another. The colorful light above their heads hit their figures to the ground. Even though the three and two beasts were used to magic, they had experienced a lot.

In the midst of fighting and fighting with monsters, I still couldn't help but stop and look up.

"This is what the third senior brother said, see the prosperity of one less game, right?" The younger junior sister turned to Lin Jue and said.

"It doesn't necessarily mean that I will watch one less game, it's just that I will watch one less game this time." Lin Jue said to her, "Thanks to Fan Tianshi, I already have news about the Five Elements Spiritual Technique. With your talent, little junior sister,

Coupled with the elixir that my second senior brother and I refined, as long as you don’t give up the idea of ​​achieving enlightenment, you will eventually be able to practice it for a long time. If this dynasty is gone, there will be the next dynasty, and there will still be a prosperous age."

The little junior sister couldn't imagine that it would last so long, so she had to raise her head and look at the sky seriously.

It wasn't until her senior brother took a step forward that she followed him.

Ahead is a night of fiery trees and silver flowers.

Some people strike iron flowers with their bare hands, and with a single strike of the hammer, the sky is filled with flying stars and fireflies are shattered. How can it be weaker than the Taoist's spell?

There are people who guess lantern riddles, people who sell snacks, people who dance dragons and lions, and people who do acrobatics.

Literati, elegant ladies, and ladies all took to the streets at this time.

Lin Jue bought three lanterns and carried them in his hand. Although he was full, he still bought some snacks and stopped at different lively places.

They even saw people from Juxian Mansion.

Some people turned into tigers and shuttled through the streets. Some people painted on the wall, drawing the bright moon and fairies. Then they waved their pens, and the bright moon really shed its moonlight. The fairies followed the guidance of the pen and flew out with a halo, in the sky.

After flying for a while, it turned into a point of light and disappeared.

Someone was pouring water on the ground and fishing with hooks.

Someone spit fire from his mouth and turned into a fire dragon that danced across the night sky.

There were people cheering and being fascinated all around.

Some people were in a daze, thinking that a few years ago in Yi County, Huizhou, they saw a Taoist rubbing grass into fireflies and scattering wheat ears into butterflies. They were also so fairy-like.

In a daze, I seemed to see two of the three Taoists, but they looked a little different.

I wanted to chase him, but there were so many people around me and the light was so dark that I lost sight of him in a trance.

The three of them continued wandering on the street.

Lin Jue also saw what the Seventh Senior Brother once said, setting up stalls on the street selling palace lanterns.

It is a copper hairpin, but what hangs is not a phoenix butterfly, but a small palace lantern the size of a thumb. It looks hollow around it, but it is sealed with extremely thin bamboo slices. People in the world pinch a little light and recite a spell.

When you put it into it, the palace lantern will naturally shine, as if a small lamp is hanging.

This was probably the most lively New Year's Eve that the two senior brothers and sisters had ever had in their lives.

Even while walking, I saw the whitewashed walls and green tiles, classical eaves, and lanterns hanging on every house on the roadside. Ye Lin felt a little reluctant to leave when it was not dark all night.

From the hustle and bustle to the silence, I stopped on the street and couldn't help but think of the past.

But prosperity can only wait until next year.

He had no choice but to shake his head and return to the courtyard.

After drinking and talking for several times, about late at night, we returned to our room.

Lin Jue was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, so he had to light the night watch lamp and cover it with a bearskin blanket, then took out the ancient book and turned to the latest page.

"Wow..."

The method of guarding things is to guard them with thoughts.

There are many ways to move things around in the world, such as changing cups and cups, and pushing objects. In addition to taking objects from the air and exchanging objects from the air, most of them are simple applications of the method of controlling objects. There are also many methods of controlling objects in the world.

Techniques such as Curse Control, Blood Control, and Sword Control are mostly simplified versions of the methods of controlling objects. The only real method of controlling objects is to control objects with thoughts and do whatever you want.

Beginners need to attach their magic power and use their thoughts to control objects. The amount of power depends on the depth of the power first, and then the strength of the thoughts. The amount of controlling objects depends on the power of distraction. Flexibility and otherwise require more practice.

Practice to a high level and control things at will.

It is not easy to practice this method. It would be best if you can first learn the methods of Curse Control, Blood Control, and Sacrifice Control.

Lin Jue pinched the page of the book.
