Chapter 248 Millennium Snow Lotus Night has fallen and a huge bright moon hangs in the sky. Behind them there was a dilapidated village with a village temple that could shelter them from the wind and rain, but they did not go there. They just sat on the top of the sand dune and quietly enjoyed the moonlight. "Brother, have you mastered the method of gathering?" "I don't know either. I just felt a connection with the heaven and earth, and I just casually brought the glow of the sunset." "Senior Brother's attainment in the gathering method has surpassed Second Senior Brother, right?" "Maybe." Lin Jue was also a little surprised. Although we were chasing the enemies mostly on horseback, it was still inconvenient to practice most of the spells. Only the gathering method was not only convenient to practice, but also because the distance covered was very large, with alpine grasslands, desert Gobi, Danxia lakes, and more types of landscapes seen along the way than in my entire life. The climate was also changeable, and there were all kinds of spiritual charms to be gathered, which was very suitable for practicing the gathering method. Therefore, Lin Jue practiced the picking method more. As you go along, you will naturally improve.
However, it is still a little far from perfection. Originally, Lin Jue could use the gathering method to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and even the energy of wind and sand, and the energy of the seasons, but he still didn't know how to gather the so-called cloud fragments and sunset glow. Just now, I felt that my body was one with the heaven and earth, and suddenly I had an epiphany. This was a natural realization, just like when I first arrived at Fuqiu Peak and realized the power of “calling the wind”. At this point, my picking method should have truly surpassed that of my second brother. Strictly speaking, he has surpassed the second brother before they separated. However, this does not mean that my talent in picking is better than that of my second brother. Even if it is true, it cannot be used to prove it. The main reason was that the second brother did not focus on this, and did not practice and comprehend it as frequently as he did. The Gathering Method was not an important spell, but an auxiliary spell in the alchemy, which was used to serve the alchemy. Before, the second brother did not need to use the alchemy recipe of the Great Gathering Method, so he naturally did not pursue it. Someone is coming behind me. A long knife was thrown on the sand pile. "That rat demon is really admirable. If you don't kill him, he will become a serious problem in the future." Luo Seng also came over and sat down, "I will bury him." "Thank you, Mr. Luo." "Isn't tonight the Mid-Autumn Festival?" "It's Mid-Autumn Festival." "It would be nice to have some wine." Luo Seng shook his head and smacked his dry lips. "No wine." Lin Jue looked up and stretched out his hand. As the temperature dropped sharply at night, he felt the air around him gradually become moister and softer: “But there is Lu.” So he unwrapped the package, took out a bowl, placed it on the ground, and secured it with sand. He pinched the magic formula and pointed his finger.
The humidity in the air dropped and condensed into water vapor, which then gathered towards the Taoist and the small bowl, slowly condensing into water droplets and gathering into dew. The remaining two people also took out their bowls and collected the dew. Lin Jue then took out a small half bottle of spiritual energy from heaven and earth and poured it into them, which immediately emitted a refreshing and refreshing fragrance. "Let's celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with dew instead of wine!" "Dew instead of wine!" I didn't know where this was, I only knew that the moon was full. Being in this strange place, none of the three people felt panic or confusion. Instead, they felt relaxed and at ease because they had settled a grudge. Just drinking dew and chatting trivially under the moon seemed to be a leisurely feeling, which was somewhat similar to being drunk. As the saying goes, it's not the wine that makes people drunk, it's the people who make them drunk. This is probably true. The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the world was completely silent. Lin Jue was here and couldn't help but think about his senior brothers. He wondered if they were living alone at this time. Especially the third senior brother, no one knows where he is. It shouldn’t be possible for him to run farther than me. "correct--" Lin Jue suddenly took out a pen from the package, intending to ask for advice and refute the senior, but Wuxiang turned around and touched the fox's head: "Okay Fuyao, go to the village below and pick some dry weeds for me." "Hey!" The fox shouted, jumped down lightly, and then followed the slope of the sand dune, with its whole body floating down with the wind. With one leap I reached the bottom of the dune. He picked a few weeds and rode the wind again. Lin Jue rolled the grass into incense, used the desert under his feet as a spirit writing board, inserted the pen into the sand, and took out the spirit writing talisman given to him by "Refutation Senior" and held it in his hand. "Please come here, the spirit medium." "Please come here, the spirit medium." "Senior, long time no see. "Please come." I shouted for a long time, but there was no response. Lin Jue was not in a hurry. He remained patient and continued to call. This place is too far from Huizhou. I'm afraid it's tens of thousands of miles away. After a long time, a breeze blew around. There were intermittent voices in the breeze, and it could be heard that they were the voices of "refuting the predecessors": "It's hard... to not call for so long... but... you ran... so far..." Lin Jue identified it carefully, half listening and half guessing, before he knew what it was saying.
I couldn't help but laugh for a moment. I don't know whether it was dissatisfied with me for running too far or it was dissatisfied with me for not asking it for advice for too long. "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, how are you, senior?" "What... dove?" "Mid-Autumn Festival." "How can I... this... solar term..." After hearing this, Lin Jue didn't know whether it was because it had no relatives or friends that it didn't celebrate this solar term, or because it had lived too long and had forgotten its age, so it naturally didn't care about any festivals. "Anyway, I'd like to express my condolences to you, Senior." Lin Jue said, "At the same time, I have something I want to ask you, Senior." "I just know..." At this time, the people around him could no longer resist their curiosity and came to watch him. The fox and the cat also sat upright on the side, staring at him intently. However, they could not hear any refutation of their seniors' words. They could only hear Lin Jue's words and guess his meaning. Then Lin Jue asked calmly: "I have now arrived in the Western Regions. I heard that there are snow lotuses on the snowy mountains here. Snow lotuses only grow once a year, but some can grow for a thousand years. They are rare treasures in the world. I wonder where I can find them?" "..." After refuting his predecessor, he hesitated for a long time. I don’t know whether he was thinking, asking others, or racking his brains for how to write poetry. After a long time, the pen on the ground began to move. "The road to the south was filled with heavy wind and sand. "Outside the Great Wall, the jade water reflects the snow-capped peaks. "Visiting friends and seeking seclusion, I have traveled thousands of miles, "Come one step too early and the scenery will be empty." The desert was flat and a few lines of words appeared. "Um……" Lin Jue frowned. Just looking at the first two sentences, it seems to be saying that the thousand-year-old snow lotus that he is looking for is to the south of him, which is the same way he came here. That is the road to return to the capital. However, the Western Regions are too large and the world is too vast, so it is obviously not easy to find. But looking at the last two sentences, it seems to be saying that you came too early and may not get what you want. Could it be that the thousand-year-old snow lotus has not yet bloomed?
As Lin Jue was thinking, he saw the breeze around him getting weaker and weaker, and it seemed that it could not be sustained. He felt that he had to refute the senior and leave, so he quickly added: "Senior, please pass on a message for me and my junior sister to my senior brother's medium. Ask it to send our regards to my senior brother on our behalf." The breeze left quickly. With a snap, the pen fell into the sand. Lin Jue and his junior sister looked at each other and had to pick up their pens to continue studying the two lines of poetry under the moonlight. (End of this chapter)
