Chapter 307: Visiting a Dog in the Mountains "You have to be careful anyway." Hua Dao Ren reminded him in the tone of a senior: "The Jingyun Temple is so popular outside the capital. Even if its foundation is not as good as Guanxing Palace and Xuantian Temple, it is not guaranteed that there are gods behind it. Your coming here will cut off their incense supply. That is the source of the gods' survival and power. There is no guarantee that the gods will be dissatisfied with you." "understood." Lin Jue thought of Master Fan Tianshi who took the blame for him. He didn't know if he could continue to take the blame, how much he could take, and how long he could take it. "There is no way. That Luo Gong who protected me said it well. For this kind of thing, if you didn't see it, forget it. If you can't do anything about it, forget it. But if you see it, you can do something about it. And it happened to me. If I pretend I didn't see it just because the other party is strong, wouldn't that be too cowardly?" These words come from my heart. Hua Daoren nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and deceived himself by telling himself that this boy already had some of his own style. However, Lin Jue paused and continued: "What's more, those Taoists are so abominable that they used you as a shield and brought you so much injustice! Moreover, they knew that you and our ancestors had a connection, but they still instigated us to fight each other and wanted to destroy our Taoism. How can we tolerate this?"
When Hua Dao Ren heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and the movement under the flower robe behind him stopped. After about a breath, it shook even faster and harder. His expression remained calm, and he nodded calmly: "That's true." A man with a dog-head and a flowery robe, a young Taoist priest, a fox and a donkey have walked deep into the cave. The surroundings were filled with thin paper soldiers and evil spirits. The fox looked left and right, then jumped lightly onto a stone table. The man in the flowery robe asked Lin Jue to sit down. "But you did one thing wrong." "Senior, please give me some advice." "This matter, and you are clearing my name, why don't you ask me to join you?" Lin Jue smiled slightly after hearing this. This is of course impossible. After all, it is a Taoist temple in the human world, and it is a place to worship gods in a serious manner. I am a human being, so there is no problem in getting rid of it. But if monsters are involved, it will be a different matter. But Lin Jue also said: "I know you have abilities, so I came here to visit you and ask for your advice." There was a constant movement under Hua Daoren's robe behind him. Hearing these words, he felt elated and naturally spoke without thinking: "Since you are the heir of Fuqiu Temple and the junior of Taoist Konggu, you are also my junior. If you have any questions, just tell me. I will never hide anything from you." "Senior is truly a man of high ability and high moral character." "Ha ha ha ha……" The fox next to him sat on the stone table, tilting his head to stare at Lin Jue, and then glanced at the Taoist with a spotted dog. "The other day, the senior mentioned 'Long Bo Dou Bing'. I am very interested in it, so I would like to ask you about the mystery behind it." Lin Jue said. "What's so mysterious about that?" The flower path master didn't hesitate at all and started talking: "Long Bo is a giant. Apart from being huge, he looks just like a human. It is said that Long Bo is thirty feet tall, but in fact most of them are not that tall. Only those who have lived for many years are that tall. However, there are some who are several feet or even tens of feet tall. In short, Long Bo in different places are all different. There are also some people who have lived with Long Bo for generations and have inherited Long Bo's blood and abilities.
“It sounds complicated, but it’s simple. "Because Long Bo is just like a human being, when you make bean soldiers, you just make them like normal bean soldiers, just make them bigger. The difficulty is just to find Long Bo's residual soul." Lin Jue listened and nodded. These few short words actually helped him avoid some detours. "Then where can we find Long Bo's remaining soul?" "Of course there is Long Bo's place." "Please give me some advice." "Originally, Long Bo lived overseas, but later, as more and more people went out to sea, and the battles between gods involved them, over time, Long Bo appeared in our Shenzhou. In ancient times, there were human masters who captured Long Bo as the vanguard of the army. Even now, there are gods in the sky who are Long Bo themselves, or there are great gods who have Long Bo as their guardians." The flower path master paused: "Long Bo is honest and straightforward, and is easily exploited. He usually won't come out in prosperous times, but will hide. If you want to find him in troubled times, you have to go to troubled places." "I see." It seems that it depends on fate. Lin Jue remembered it, stood up and took off the big red rooster, ribs, and flowery quilt and mattress from the donkey's back and put them aside. Hua Dao Ren also came to help, but when he got closer, he couldn't help but look at the paper donkey carefully. "This is……" "This is the paper donkey that my second uncle got from Senior Hua. When he saw me and my junior sister, he gave it to us as a gift." "Oh! It's that scoundrel! I was wondering why he looked so familiar!" "shameless?" "Let's not talk about it." Hua Daoren waved his hand. "I just wanted to ask Senior Hua about the art of paper cutting." Lin Jue then said, secretly glancing at Hua Daoren. If he showed any expression of dissatisfaction or unwillingness on his face, he would have the words "Junior can use other spells in exchange" waiting for him. But Hua Dao Ren had a puzzled look on his face: "Didn't you learn Dou Bing? Why are you learning my paper cutting technique?" After a pause, he explained to Lin Jue: "These two spells are similar, each with its own advantages and disadvantages: bean soldiers are more difficult to make, but they are also more powerful and easier to carry. Paper soldiers are simple to make, and it is easy to make a lot of them. They will not abandon you in the future just because of a disagreement in the concept, but they are not as powerful as bean soldiers individually, nor as easy to carry as bean soldiers. It is difficult to make them stronger through sacrifices, and it cannot lead to the more powerful method of throwing beans to make soldiers. "As long as you are not afraid of the trouble of searching for spiritual wood and forging armor, it would be better for you to focus your energy on the bean soldiers. "Don't think that I have General Yaksha, which seems to be more powerful than your bean soldiers, but the reason why I can make paper Yaksha is also the result of a hundred years of research. By that time, you will be able to gather together Longbo bean soldiers, which are also more powerful than paper Yaksha, right?" Lin Jue almost knew all of this. "Senior, you misunderstood. The reason why I want to learn paper cutting from you is not because I want to switch from carving beans into soldiers to paper trimming, but because the two have something in common. As the saying goes, a stone from another mountain can polish a jade. This may bring some inspiration and insights to me in the bean soldier method." Lin Jue paused and said, "And I also want to study the method of paper horse and paper donkey." Of course, there is one more thing, which is collecting spells. "So that's it." Hua Dao Ren nodded, then smiled and said, "The former is fine, but you'd better forget about the latter."
"Is it because I am a human?" "Yes, I was once a dog, and I became a human. Therefore, I can be both a dog and a human. I understand both animals and humans, so I can make paper donkeys, paper horses, and paper soldiers. But you are a human, and you did not transform from a human into a dog or an animal. Donkeys and horses are not humans. It is too difficult for you to make a paper donkey or a paper horse, or a bean donkey or a bean horse." Lin Jue frowned, thinking it sounded a bit strange, but nodded and said, "Senior Hua thinks so too..." "I won't lie to you. If you want to make paper donkeys and paper horses, you must first know the difference between donkeys and horses and humans, the difference between walking on four legs and walking on two legs. You also need to collect the remaining souls of donkeys and horses, but where are the remaining souls of donkeys and horses so easy to find? Even if you find them, they are different from the remaining souls of humans, and it will be difficult for you to communicate with them." "rational." "But my paper cutting technique is not difficult to explain, especially since you have learned how to carve beans into soldiers. The two techniques have a lot in common." Hua Daoren sat in the cave and began to explain to him. The method of carving beans into soldiers does have a lot in common with paper cutting. Lin Jue, who has never learned paper cutting, was able to discuss with Hua Dao Ren while listening to him. And because of the detailed explanation from another perspective in the ancient books, plus Lin Jue's own experience in this art, sometimes even Hua Dao Ren's eyes light up and he is quite surprised. I don't know when, but I started to feel a sense of palpitations in my heart. That’s all for this time. After all, the two sides had only known each other for a short time and their friendship was not yet strong. Even though they had a relationship through their ancestors and Lin Jue had helped him clear his name, it would not be easy to take away all the magic that he had learned at once - although Lin Jue had a vague feeling that this was possible. Having heard the news about Long Bo Dou Bing and learned the art of paper cutting, Lin Jue felt that he had gained a lot, so he stood up and prepared to leave. "I also have one or two unique spells that are quite suitable for use with Paper Soldiers. If Senior Hua is interested, I can write them down and give them to you." "This……" Hua Dao Ren was obviously tempted, but after thinking about it, he gave up: "Forget it, I am old and I know what kind of person I am. I am too old to learn new magic. Even if you write it down, I am afraid I don't have the energy and time to study it, so I won't bother you with the effort." "it is good." Lin Jue understood this mentality. This is the case for most people. When they reach a certain age, they can only continue to move forward on the existing path, going further and further, and it is difficult to widen the path or take a new path. Most of their achievements can only be reflected on this path. "Then I'll take my leave, junior." "Go slowly, come more." "must!" Lin Jue said this and turned around, but he didn't see his fox. It was Senior Hua who reminded him that the fox had gone out. When he walked out of the cave, he found that the fox seemed to know when he was leaving. It had gone to Hongye Temple and came back with two stone horses, with a colorful civet sitting on the horse's back. "You are clever." Lin Jue smiled slightly and got on the horse. So the stone horse carrying the Taoist priest galloped along the mountain ridge, rumbling all the way, from Fengshan Mountain to the Red Leaf Temple. If seen by mortals, they would probably think it was a mountain immortal.
In the cave, Hua Daoist opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue. He held the several pounds of bones in one hand and touched the soft floral quilt with the other. He looked at a big red rooster running around and the sheep huddled in the corner. His mouth was unable to close and he couldn't stop wagging his tail. Since Taoist Konggu, descendants of Fuqiu Temple have come to the capital one after another. There are three people who have seen him, not including Lin Jue. But why are those Taoists before not as likable as this Taoist? "..." The flower artist was very happy for a moment. (End of this chapter)
