Chapter 337: The Great Yin-Yang Method? "Does the envoy admit defeat?" "..." The Dazu envoy looked helpless, and had no choice but to stand up and salute Lin Jue: "I heard that in the Central Plains, Zhenren means immortal. I also heard that the current trend of exaggerating in Dajiang is very popular. Other 'Zhenren Tianshi' may not be worthy of this title, but Zhenren Lin's ability can already be called immortal." "Isn't it quite exaggerated for the envoy to say that?" "Sincerely." The envoy bowed, "With Master Lin here in Dajiang, no matter what happens, I think the people will not be afraid of monsters wreaking havoc, and the court may also be stable. This time we did not bring the most powerful magicians in the country, if there is a chance, I would like to learn some magic from Master Lin again." The emphasis of the conversation was first on the three words "Master Lin", which probably meant that among the extraordinary people in the hall today, apart from Master Lin, there was no one else who was particularly powerful. Then the focus fell on the four words "court" and "maybe". Obviously, he had seen that Lin Jue was not close to the court of Dajiang. Perhaps this "Master Lin" could protect the people of the world but not necessarily the court. Finally, he added one more sentence to save a little face.
If you don’t know, you might think he is also practicing the Great Yin-Yang Method. "Ah……" Lin Jue shook his head. Although he was not fond of the Dajiang court, especially the old emperor sitting at the top and the imperial concubine with a gloomy face, Dajiang was Dajiang, the court was the court, and the Central Plains was different. "Your Excellency is too eloquent. However, you chose this time today to do such a provocative thing, which is too rude after all. You should repent for it." Lin Jue said this and touched her lips a few times. There was a spell that no one else could hear. "I advise you to frown." The envoy was neither humble nor arrogant, and was about to open his mouth to refute and make a few sarcastic remarks, but suddenly his expression froze, and he was so sad that he burst into tears in public. Everyone in the hall, whether civil or military officials or envoys, could not help but be stunned. At first glance, I thought that this envoy was so talented that he could cry as soon as he said he would and act so convincingly. But after looking at him for a few more times, I came to my senses and when I looked at Lin Jue again, his eyes were filled with even more awe. "In that case, let's end the fight today. Send the injured to the hospital as soon as possible." "Thank you so much... Master..." The envoy said this while crying bitterly. Lin Jue did not respond. He just turned his head, took a deep look at the emperor and concubine on the dragon throne, and walked back to his original seat. Because the seat was at the back, he had to go around several tables. Those sitting here were basically the lowest-ranking officials among the attendees. As Lin Jue walked along, he heard them complimenting him: "Thanks to Master Lin..." "Thank you, Master Lin..." "Master Lin is really capable..."
Lin Jue did not respond and went straight back to his seat. It's not that he is aloof or rude, but he knows what the current atmosphere is like in the officialdom of the capital. He has also heard the reminder from Master Fan that in order to prevent people from constantly visiting him after he returns, asking for elixirs and immortal connections, or inviting him to some messy parties, he simply chooses to be a little indifferent. Lin Jue really didn't want to deal with them. In today's Jiangnan, it is impossible for anyone to keep himself clean in the officialdom. If there is, he will definitely be ostracized by everyone and will not be able to come to this hall. "Friends of Dao have great abilities." Master Fan said in a low voice. "My swallow egg fragrance..." "coming." Master Fan pointed forward. Sure enough, he saw a eunuch carrying a tray with a small box on it, which was not the box that the envoy from Changchun State had originally sent. Lin Jue remained silent and just sat there calmly. The messenger came up and respectfully put down the box, saying, "This is a thank-you gift from your majesty to the real person." Lin Jue opened it. As expected - The box has changed, but the swallow egg incense is still inside. Sure enough, it was about the same size as a swallow's egg, oval in shape, and looked like wood, with fine lines on it. As soon as you touched it, you could feel the rich and mysterious wood spirit. When I picked it up, it was surprisingly heavy. "Finally, I got the same..." When Lin Jue picked it up, he glanced over and saw that the group of Dazu envoys and mages in front of him were staring at him. Lin Jue was not in a hurry and put it away. "How did you convince the emperor?" "It's not difficult. I only said two points. First, the military garrisons in the north have long wanted to go south, but they are still trying to determine how much strength the court has left. The descendants of the King of Yue in the south have also been watching, not to mention the people of Dazu are eyeing them covetously. If we can't save face in front of the envoys of all nations today and expose the fact that we are weaker than Dazu, not only will Dazu be likely to send troops south, not only will these envoys be likely to turn to Dazu after returning, but the military garrisons in the north and the descendants of the King of Yue in the south may also use this as an opportunity to cause trouble. By then, even if Your Majesty lives longer, I'm afraid Dajiang won't be able to hold on that long." Master Fan paused as he spoke: "Also, I have read in ancient books that the emperors and empresses of previous dynasties who ate this swallow egg incense not only did not prolong their lifespans, but instead shortened their lives." "Daoyou is amazing." Lin Jue naturally knew—— The most difficult thing for Master Fan to say this was not that he thought of these words in a hurry, nor that he dared to say them to an emperor, but that he had to become "Master Fan" first. After hearing what Master Fan said, the emperor naturally believed it without a doubt. If it wasn't Master Fan, if someone else said this, not to mention the weight of his words, whether the emperor believed it or not, it would probably expose the relationship between the emperor and Da Jiang. The emperor would be so angry that he would order the imperial guards to drag him away and behead him on the spot.
By this time, I don’t know how the banquet was going, as it was now difficult to continue. The prince made an appointment with the envoys from Dazu to compete in bravery again tomorrow, and then asked all civil and military officials and foreign envoys to go back and rest. Lin Jue also stood up and walked outside. Wan Xinrong, Taoist Master Tao and the Lei family came to greet him, and then followed Lin Jue out. As I walked, I heard another shout: "Fellow Daoist Lin." Lin Jue stopped and looked back. At this moment, they were halfway down the stairs when they saw two middle-aged Taoists standing side by side on the top of the stairs behind them. At this moment, this scene was very similar to the time when Lin Jue left Mingzhao Mountain and suddenly turned back when he was halfway down the mountain and saw Taoist Yushan above him. "Where did Fellow Daoist Lin originally practice? Why do we feel that Fellow Daoist Lin looks familiar?" "You two Taoist priests, you are really forgetful." "Oh? What's the explanation?" The two Taoists saluted Lin Jue. "I am from Huizhou, and I studied under Taoist Yunhe of Fuqiu Temple in Yishan. I met you two once at the Mingzhao Mountain Grand Ceremony a few years ago." Lin Jue turned sideways to return the greeting and answered them. After saying this, he accepted the gift and continued walking down. Only two Yushan Taoists were left standing above, with stunned expressions, unable to believe it. They remained silent and looked at each other. Who could have thought that the young Taoist priest on Mingzhuo Mountain back then would be able to fight so many Dazu magicians alone in the imperial palace just a few years later, making even them feel ashamed of themselves. The first thought that came to my mind was - It turned out that Fuqiu Temple had already had a new generation, and new descendants of Fuqiu Temple had come to Beijing. When I looked again, Lin Jue had gone far away. Lin Jue had heard about the feud between his own master and Yushan, but he did not have much aversion to Yushan. If one were to say the source, it could probably be traced back to the first time he heard of Yushan and his third senior brother's words, "We are all serious Taoists. Our feud is open and aboveboard. We should spar with each other if we should, fight with each other if we should, and quarrel with each other. It is impossible for them to intercept us halfway." This was the preconceived idea. "Master Lin, tomorrow the imperial court will select warriors to fight with the warriors of Dazu here. Would you like to come and see?" Wan Xinrong asked, holding a lantern. "It's nothing to see, and it has nothing to do with me." "Then Wan Mou won't come either." "I won't come either." "I'm not coming either!" Several people responded and walked out of the palace. At this time in the hall, many civil servants, military officials and envoys gathered around the blooming table and the palace pillars, looking at the branches growing and the flowers blooming on them with their eyes wide open. The brave ones even reached out their hands to touch them, causing the branches to tremble. "Oh! It's true!" "Really? Not an illusion?"
"It really is a magical spell!" Everyone was amazed, but then they couldn't help but feel a headache. Flowers have bloomed on this pillar, but I don't know if the pillar is damaged or not. Just how to deal with the branches, whether they can be cut off casually, and whether there will be any traces left even if they are cut off and smoothed, is still hard to say. After a long discussion, no conclusion was reached. Many civil and military officials were not really interested, they were just curious and soon dispersed. Only then did the young civil servant come over and look carefully at the branches and flowers on the pillar with a surprised expression, not knowing how to remember them. …… In the courtyard. Lin Jue was pinching the fox's face and said to it, "That's good. You've had a feast in the palace. Throughout history, few foxes have had a feast in the palace. How do you feel?" "There's a lot of food! But it's not as delicious as what you cook!" said the fox, "Fighting is fun!" "little things……" Lin Jue smiled and patted its head, then ignored it. Light the vigil lamp and take out the small box. "Swallow egg fragrance..." Lin Jue took it and looked at it over and over again. Compared with that top-grade golden essence, the thousand-year-old fire ginseng given by Empress Yaohua does have some slight similarities. "It doesn't take much effort..." Lin Jue muttered to himself, thinking in his heart. As long as we get rid of the Leopard King and collect a thousand taels of gold, there should be nothing else to do in the capital. After finishing the work in the capital, I should go and see my senior brothers whom I haven't seen for a long time. I wonder if my third senior brother has gone to see them. Anyway, we can reminisce about the past and talk about recent events. After leaving the Great Yin-Yang Method, I can go and get the other ingredients that are temporarily stored elsewhere. Then he returned to the capital to make the elixir. If the guesses of the two immortals Qingsong and Huangshi on the Tiandu Peak of Yishan Mountain were correct, Da Jiang should be able to hold on until he finishes refining the golden elixir. So he made use of the last popularity of the capital. It's just the right time to keep the people in the capital safe for a while. Lin Jue thought for a long time and looked at the swallow's egg incense for a long time before he took out the mother-of-pearl box, folded it open, pulled out a small drawer, and put the swallow's egg incense in it. After a moment's thought, he handed it to the fox: "Dig a hole and hide first." "Hey?" "What are you talking about?"
"Dig a hole?" The fox was stunned. Instead of facing him directly, it looked at him with squinted eyes. Then it shook its head like a rattle and said in a serious tone, "You can't dig a hole! Digging a hole is not good! After you dig a hole, a Taoist priest will take it away and fill it up!" "..." Oh no, this little thing has also learned the Yin-Yang method. (End of this chapter)
