Chapter 340 Little Ruyi "Just in time! We're running out of paper at home!" In the quiet room, Lin Jue took out a pack of rice paper from the gift sent by the Hui merchant named Yan. I carefully took out a piece, picked it up and touched it. I saw its delicate texture and comfortable feel, and I knew it was the finest Xuan paper produced in my hometown. This kind of paper has long, soft and tough fibers, is durable, and is not easy to age and turn yellow. It has always been the most sought after by literati. In this day and age, good Xuan paper can even be used as a handicraft, and literati also like to give it as an elegant gift. It's interesting to say - When Lin Jue was in Huizhou, as a local, Xuan paper was relatively cheap, but he could not afford it. Now that he has come to the capital, the price of Xuan paper has increased several times, but some people give it to him for free. This saves him from having to go out to buy it. "Thank you, Mr. Yan." Lin Jue continued to open other gifts.
The Hui ink with the twelve zodiac animals, the exquisitely carved She inkstone, and the finest Hui brushes are all items produced in the hometown. Besides being a token of thoughtfulness, they are also of extraordinary value. There were also a few packets of tea, and just by looking at the tea leaves one could tell that the tea leaves used were the tender buds that had just sprouted during the Spring Festival. Enough to last for a long time. Lin Jue put it away and took out a new piece of paper. After cutting it, he spread it on the table, weighed it down with a paperweight, thought for a moment, and then began to write. It is still the "Yin Yang Annotation Method". That is the great yin and yang method. I wrote by camplight at night until I had written down everything I had in mind, and there was nothing more to write for the time being. I also felt tired, so I stopped writing. He sat cross-legged on the cushion again and spread out his left hand. A handful of beans in his hand floated up with his magic power, bathing in spiritual light, and fluctuated in front of him. There were exactly forty beans, no more, no less. Some of them are already extremely spiritual, while some are slightly inferior, but it is difficult to tell the difference. This is the result of the accumulation of several years, as well as the gradual increase in Lin Jue's Taoism and magical powers. The repairs have not made them look shabby, but instead added some battle-hardened murderous aura. There is also a large part, more than two-thirds, where the spiritual charm is obviously much thinner, especially in comparison. Lin Jue performed the ritual of training the bean soldiers as usual. After the sacrifice, he then sacrificed the flying sword and the long sword. Not long after, there were slight footsteps outside the door, and the fox walked back and forth quietly, observing him secretly. The footsteps sounded familiar, so Lin Jue ignored them. After he finished the ritual, he opened his eyes and saw that the door of the quiet room was open. The faint light of the night lamp shone through the door frame, casting a very clear line on the ground, and happened to stop in front of the crabapple tree. A little white fox was standing in a place where the night lamp could not reach. It hid behind the tree trunk, only poking out its little head and staring at him quietly. Lin Jue smiled immediately: "What are you trying to do sneakily?" The fox still clung to the tree trunk, staring at him quietly, and only uttered a clear and tender voice: "Have you finished the ritual?" "Um……"
Lin Jue nodded and pointed. The night light suddenly dimmed. The fox was smart and immediately understood what was happening. It jumped forward and when the night light flashed and lit up again, it had already jumped into the range of the light. The fox then walked over in small steps, jumped over the threshold and walked into the quiet room. "I should continue to teach you how to shrink! I didn't teach you yesterday!" The fox said as he walked towards Lin Jue. After shrinking, his voice became smaller, as if he was talking to himself. "This lamp will explode, so I will wait until you are done and turn off the light before you can come in. Otherwise, bang, I will scare you to death!" “Smart and thoughtful.” Lin Jue gave his own evaluation, and then said: "But I have already learned the technique of shrinking." "?" The fox paused for a moment, looked up and stared at him. “I have indeed learned it.” "?" Lin Jue knew from its expression that this little thing must not have had enough of being a teacher. In fact, he had already learned it. He was indeed very talented in this kind of mysterious Yin-Yang spells, and he was better at summarizing than most people in the world. Therefore, after learning a lot of these mysterious spells, he had a strange feeling in his heart, which he couldn't explain. It was probably the feeling of spells and the familiarity with the Tao. However, when he encountered these mysterious spells again, even if the mystery was not the same, or even very different, as long as he explored it a few times and meditated a few times, he would soon be able to gain some insights. Perhaps these seemingly different and mysterious spells actually have similar principles in essence. Therefore, Lin Jue learned faster and faster. Perhaps in the future, when you have a deeper understanding and are closer to the great truth, you can be like the fairy in the forest, and when you encounter unfamiliar magic, you can also learn by analogy, quickly learn it, and achieve something. You can even put forward your own views on it in a very short time, because you are standing at a higher perspective. The reason why Lin Jue didn't say it out loud was, on the one hand, he wanted the little thing to experience the feeling of being a teacher more, and on the other hand, it was because the shrinking technique he had just learned could only make himself smaller, but not his clothes. If he used it, he would be naked. He is not like a fox, covered with hair. Now it has improved. Lin Jue looked at the fox and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, you can still teach me earth escape and water entry." "..." The fox's expression then relaxed a little. But then it turned serious again: "Why so fast?" "It's all because of your good teaching." "Let me see!" The fox's tone was also serious, as if he didn't believe it. Lin Jue had no choice but to show it -
The Taoist put a handful of beans on the table, and suddenly a puff of smoke rose up. The Taoist and his Taoist robes quickly shrank. In the blink of an eye, he changed from the size of an ordinary person to a little man who was only as tall as a palm, just like the legendary Xiu Yao. "How is it, Teacher Fuyao?" The Taoist stood on the table and looked at the fox with a smile. "Have I learned well?" "Like the rat monster in the city below the mountain!" As the white fox spoke, he couldn't help but reach out his hand, hooked his claws, and carefully and quickly searched his body. "..." Lin Jue smiled and backed away repeatedly. "Get smaller!" "No." Lin Jue shook his head. "My attainments are limited. I can only make it this small for now. It's not convenient to use it to travel." "Get smaller! Get smaller!" Teacher Fox stared down at him, his eyes sparkling, and urged him. "..." A tiny puff of white smoke rose up, and the Taoist shrunk it a little more, to an imperceptible amount, and then told it: "The youngest." "and many more!" The fox said this, turned his head and looked around, his eyes swept over the bamboo pen holder on the table, felt that it was inappropriate, and jumped off the table, turned into a white shadow and jumped out of the room. In less than a breath, a clinking sound came from the kitchen. After another breath, it jumped back, causing the night watch lamp to light up and explode. At this time, it was holding a large wooden bowl in its mouth. "?" Lin Jue couldn't help but wonder. The fox walked up to him, grabbed him with one claw, aimed at him, and covered him with the bowl. The sky suddenly darkened. Wood escape technique! "what?" The fox lowered his head and looked at his Taoist priest in confusion. But the Taoist was still standing upright on the table, with the wooden bowl completely covering his body, but only his head poking out from the bowl, staring at it helplessly. This scene was so bizarre and interesting that it couldn't help but stretch out its hand, wanting to touch the head, but it was afraid that its strength was too great and the Taoist was too small, and it would hurt him, so it had to stop halfway and quickly puffed the air a few times from an inch away. "..." Lin Jue took a calm step and walked out of the bowl helplessly.
Why is this little thing so vindictive? This is not a good character... "Stop playing." The Taoist's figure grew larger rapidly, and as he grew larger, the fox also gradually raised its head from lowering it, looking up at him. "I heard that the warriors of Dazu have finished competing with the warriors of Dajiang today. I embarrassed them that day. And I saw that they seemed to be somewhat interested in my swallow egg incense. They will probably stay in the capital for another month before returning. We have to be more vigilant in the next few days. You are more alert than me, so I have to rely on you." "Be more careful!" "Yes." Lin Jue nodded, "There are some valuables at home, we have to take good care of them and make sure they don't steal them." "No wonder! Dig a hole! Hide!" The fox was startled and reacted quickly. "clever." "Then we can run and find Xiaohua!" "Sure enough." Lin Jue said, shaking his head, "But forget it, I heard that there are many such strange people in the Dazu army, and they came to the capital this time for other reasons. If we hide, it will seem that the cultivators in the Central Plains are really not as good as them." "Can't understand!!" "At least be more alert." "I understand!" said the fox. "I'll go and make a paw print!" "Very good!" "Call Junior Sister Xiaohua over!" "That's appropriate." Lin Jue said, "It's cold in the mountains anyway, and the New Year is coming. It's a good opportunity to call them over to discuss going back to look for the brothers." "Tell the white bird to call!" "You are getting smarter and smarter." "clever!" The fox lowered its head and licked its fur. …… Blue sky, white clouds, a group of egrets flying by. A pretty female Taoist priest with pigtails rode a grey donkey, carrying a package in one hand and a long sword in the other, and walked into the capital city swayingly with the sound of crisp copper bells. A colorful cat followed behind with small, swift steps. We walked through the streets and alleys and entered the yard. The civet cat saw the fox at once and immediately ran forward. The fox also rushed towards it, and the two little ones started dancing with the lion before they even got close.
"Brother!" The junior sister also spotted Lin Jue at a glance. She sat on the donkey and refused to get off. As she approached, she asked, "Why are you calling me over so early to celebrate the New Year?" "Not only is it a New Year's celebration, but I also have another spell to teach you." "What spell?" "A spell to help you travel faster." Lin Jue said bluntly, "I have a magic of speed and a magic of shrinking. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages and uses. You are good at fighting and swordsmanship. As far as you are concerned, the magic of speed is more suitable for you. Once you learn it, it will be like taking a magic pill." "Oh……" "After we learn it, we can go back and look for our brothers." "Um!?" The junior sister suddenly became interested. (End of this chapter)
