Strange Stories

Chapter 607: The Method of Changing Capital to Change Life
Taoist Qingxuan and several great immortals and gods left.

As soon as they left, Lin Jue called Xian Zhu and Wan Xinrong over.

Both the man and the demon are walking on the path of the Five Elements.

"Real person."

"Master."

The two of them soon arrived in front of Lin Jue.

"Mr. Wan, Mr. Xianzhu, now that you have achieved enlightenment, what are your plans for the future?" Lin Jue asked them.

"Why do you ask this, Master?" Wan Xinrong was shocked.

"Don't worry, I'm just asking. If you have no other plans, I have a job for you. It depends on whether you are willing." Lin Jue said.

"Master, you are joking. The reason why I can achieve enlightenment is all thanks to your guidance and help. Otherwise, I would have turned into dust by now." Wan Xinrong said, "Since it is a blessing from you, I am naturally willing to continue to stay by your side, protect you, and obey your orders."

"I don't have any plans, so I will obey Master's orders." Xian Zhu also said, "If Master orders me to continue to exorcise evil spirits and uphold justice like my brothers and sisters, I will go down the mountain. If Master has other arrangements, I will also obey Master's orders. If not, I will stay in this mountain and practice with Master."

Lin Jue couldn't help but smile:
"At this time, the Purple Emperor is trapped and the gods are fighting. I think the Nine Heavens and the human world will be in turmoil. The Heaven-Watching Demon-Subduing Emperor in the Nine Heavens is a righteous god and an old friend of ours. Unfortunately, his foundation is still shallow and his power is weak. I am afraid he is powerless to do some things. Therefore, I have promised him to send a disciple who has achieved enlightenment to help him for a hundred years. If Wan Gong is willing, he can also go."

"Disciple, obey."

"Isn't that Master Nan Gong Nan Tianshi?" Wan Xinrong said.

"Exactly."

"Mr. Nan is a virtuous man. If there was no Immortal Master back then, perhaps I, Baolin, Modushan and his group would have followed him like the other extraordinary people and masters in Juxian Mansion." Wan Xinrong said, "Now that the Immortal Master has given the order, I am also willing to help him."

"Mr. Wan is too polite..."

After some more small talk, the two men left.

Lin Jue stood on the edge of the attic, gazing into the distance in a daze.

Counting the time carefully, it was almost time for Purple Emperor to start his third campaign to eliminate demons and monsters.

There are still ten years until the third time.

According to Lao Tianweng's deduction, the Purple Emperor exterminated demons and monsters four times. The first two times were fine, but the third time provoked the monsters to counterattack, causing great turmoil in the world.

The fourth time caused great turmoil in the Nine Heavens, because there were countless gods and immortals related to monsters. At that time, the Purple Emperor had been on the throne for more than 200 years. Just like the Tianweng at the end of the previous dynasty, his prestige in the Nine Heavens and the human world was not as good as before. It is hard to say that he did not intend to eliminate the opposition forces.

By that time, the Dayu Dynasty on earth had come to an end, and it was about to be the beginning of a new dynasty.

Now it’s about seventy years earlier.

I don’t know how many more years this dynasty can last.

Lin Jue thought so and waved his hand.

Without anyone noticing, subtle changes began to take place in this world.

Unconsciously, Fengshan Pavilion is no longer the same as before.

Once upon a time, this piece of pavilion was still deep in Fengshan Mountain, but it was covered by the illusion fog cast by the fox, and outsiders could not easily come here. Even if they came here, they could not see this piece of hanging pavilion. But now it has become like Yuanqiu Fairyland, relying on the outside world, and leaving the outside world, becoming a paradise outside the world.

But the time here is still the same as the outside world.

The similarity is that ordinary people can no longer easily enter.

However, like Lao Tianweng, Lin Jue did not seal off this fairyland, but left a way out.

In addition to friends, acquaintances, and old acquaintances who can enter and exit, and in addition to coming here under the guidance of Chen Niu, if someone is really destined to come here, they can also enter this fairyland at the right time.

If someone really comes, it can be considered as fate. Then, you can give him a cup of immortal wine, chat with him for a few times, give him a immortal fruit, and give him some good fortune. What's wrong with that?
"Chen Niu."

Lin Jue suddenly shouted.

A little devil in brown clothes appeared out of nowhere and looked at him seriously.

Lin Jue smiled at him and asked gently, "You still haven't remembered where your home is?"

The little ghost in brown was still staring at him seriously. He was not moved by his sudden concern. He just felt that it was annoying that this person asked him to come out without asking for directions.

After thinking for a while, it said:

“I can’t find it…”

"I guess I can't go back now." Lin Jue said, "Then you should just be my spiritual officer."

Without a sound, the little ghost disappeared again.

Lin Jue had also sat down cross-legged.

What happened next was not unexpected.

In order to rule the Nine Heavens, the Southern Jade Mirror Emperor once again sparked a dispute over the faith and worship of the people on earth.

More than two hundred years ago, one of Yili Shenjun's two servants, Jiang Zhaoren, who was also his brother and sister, was reborn in the lower world, and took the pseudonym Jiang Ning, running around for him in the human world to spread his faith. Two hundred years later, another servant of Yili Shenjun, Jiang Jianyue, was reborn in the lower world again, and still took the form of a Taoist priest, running around for him in the human world to win faith.

This is what Taoist Priest Jiang told them when he came to visit them.

Taoist Master Jiang is relatively free nowadays. He comes to Fengshan Fairyland every now and then to visit Lin Jue and his junior sister. They travel together with the cat and fox, brew tea and drink wine, or reminisce about the past, or look forward to the Ming Dynasty, chatting and having fun, feeling very comfortable.

...After some time.

A few white clouds were floating in the sky, and several immortals were drinking on the clouds, and also discussing the dispute over the orthodoxy of incense burning in the human world and in the nine heavens.

"The southern gods are indeed good at management." said Taoist Xuanming.

"Although the southern gods are good at business, the gods under the Purple Emperor are not as lazy as the gods under the former Tianweng. Instead, they are very diligent and good at fighting." Taoist Bai Luan shook his head and said, "It's not that easy to fight for their incense."

"I thought so."

Master Mo Yu nodded and said:

"Although the Purple Emperor has not returned, this has helped the northern gods get rid of the two drawbacks of 'arbitrarily exterminating demons without distinguishing between good and evil' and 'oppressing the human world and causing the emperor's dissatisfaction'. The Nine Heavens have always had a tradition that the emperor cannot personally intervene in disputes over the orthodoxy of incense and worship. Even if the Jade Mirror Emperor is here, what can he do? He still has to rely on his True Lord gods, believers and Taoists, and ideological propositions to compete with the north?"

"I still think highly of the Emperor Jiantian Fumo."

"It's hard to say..."

The nature of the three immortals did not seem to have changed because of the life-and-death battle. They were still the three immortals who liked to watch the show and eat spectators.

Lin Jue was right next to them and didn't say much.

Not long after, the white clouds stopped.

The three immortals also stopped talking and looked down. Some looked solemn, some looked helpless, and some were silent and melancholy. Then they all turned around and said to Lin Jue:
"This is the original cave where Daoist Fellow Menghua lived."

The fox clung to the edge of the white cloud and looked down. Lin Jue and his junior sister also looked down.

It was a vast sea of ​​bamboos, with bamboos growing everywhere for dozens of miles. From the sky, the mountains seemed unusually soft, and the wind blew up waves. There was also some mist floating in the mountains, which did not look like ordinary morning mist, but the original cover of the immortals.

Lin Jue looked left and right, searching everywhere, but could not find any soul or body of Master Meng Hua.

"When immortals achieve enlightenment and shed their mortal bodies, after death, nine out of ten times they will return to their origin. If there is a soul left, it will either be resurrected from the dead or enter reincarnation again. How could there be any soul or body left in the human world?" Taoist Xuanming shook his head and pointed with his hand. Some objects flew up from the bamboo forest below.

There are several pieces of clothing;
There are several books;
There are a few scraps of paper;
There are several broken pens;
There are chessboards and chess pieces, wine jugs and teacups;

All floating in the air.

Xuan Ming Zhenren checked it out, discussed it with Taoist Master Bai Luan and Zhenren Mo Yu beside him, and selected two books:
"These are some notes from Fellow Daoist Menghua. Perhaps they contain some of his daily experiences. Anyway, the person is dead. Fellow Daoist Lin can take a look at them and see if there is any way to change his fortune and fate."

It seems that only I have realized it.

Lin Jue thanked him and took it solemnly.

"As for the rest..."

Xuan Ming Zhenren hesitated for a moment and looked at the two people beside him: "Do you two Taoist friends want to keep it as a souvenir? If not, I will leave it here. Maybe someone with a predestined relationship will come and pick it up by chance in the future, and it will be considered as a connection with Taoist Meng Hua."

"Stay here."

"That's the best."

The three of them were originally carefree and leisurely immortals who did not covet anything and acted naturally, humorously and elegantly.

The few of them then rode away on the clouds, chatting as they drifted hundreds of miles with the wind. They agreed to meet again in a few decades, and then parted ways again.

Lin Jue returned to Fengshan again.

Under the huge stone pavilion in the back mountain that once provided Fuyao with shelter from the wind and rain, the fox was still lying there lazily, while the Taoist took the two books and flipped them casually.

"Wow..."

"... Lord Fuchi fought three real people and two immortals alone. Real person Xuanming invited me to watch. Unfortunately, I predicted that there would be war. For safety reasons, I could not go..."

Lin Jue glanced at the first page, raised his finger slightly, and the wind turned a page for him.

The stone pavilion was leaking air, and the mountain wind was blowing, causing the pages of the book to turn continuously.

"Wow..."

Suddenly it stopped on a page.

"It is difficult to avoid a catastrophe...it is difficult to change fate..."

Lin Jue looked at it carefully and turned the page again.

The sun and the moon rotated overhead, and the sky flickered.

Until both books are finished.

"There are indeed some records, but they are just fragments." Lin Jue said to himself, "They are not of much use."

Looking up, the road looks like stars, all before my eyes.

Lin Jue knew in his heart that the great principle that determines a person’s talent and destiny must be among them.

Which one would that be?

Fortunately, Lin Jue himself doesn’t know how much time he has left.

The sun, moon, stars, and four seasons rotate as usual in the mountains. Fuyao accompanies him, and his junior sister also practices in the mountains. Mr. Luo often comes to the mountains to farm and pick fruits. Taoist Jiang often comes to visit to occasionally learn about the changes in the world and the progress of several disciples. The days are leisurely and pass quickly.
