Four years ago, Wu Jie went out to seek immortality. Soon he was appreciated and valued by the royal family of the Chu Kingdom. Taking advantage of the opportunity of his great achievements, he was named Ji Shihou to show his wooing, and the Du family and Lin family also benefited from it.
First, Du Tuanlian was inexplicably transferred to the coast to exterminate pirates, and then he was inexplicably promoted to garrison general for "making great contributions"; then Lin Xiucai was sent to the imperial court to understand the public sentiment and select talents because of the "Xiao Chang Etiquette" that he had never heard of.
After being discovered, he got a special promotion, walked around the Hanlin Academy, and became a doctor in the Ministry of Rites; in the end, even Du Baotou was suddenly commended and promoted to a county captain.
Both the Du and Lin families were somewhat resistant to this explicit approach, and there were quite a few rumors in the officialdom. So they have been working hard to prove themselves with practical actions.
Uncle Du, his son, and Uncle Lin, three people with official positions, devoted themselves to work all day long, wishing they could divide themselves into several people and achieve several times the results. Lin Lushan, on the other hand, was immersed in books and worked even harder.
Study in the field, hoping to get a title on the gold medal list.
He is very smart and very hard-working, but in poetry, talent is far more important than hard work. He spent countless efforts and was so tired that he lost weight, but he still managed to master nine out of ten——
Know nothing!
This situation finally improved last spring. When he was taking a nap in the study, he felt that someone was reading his poems, and he revised them while reading. He woke up from his dream, looked around and saw no one, but he still remembered
As soon as I wrote the poem in my dream and read it, I immediately smiled.
This poem is basically similar to what he wrote himself, with only a few slight modifications, but it immediately gave the entire poem a completely new look. It was no longer the usual rigid and dry style, but a little more flexible and light. It was like a poem.
People who have been walking with heavy loads all year round suddenly took off the load, and it was so light that it was indescribable!
Since then, similar things have happened several times. Lin Lushan's poems have been constantly revised, and one of his poems has become light and elegant. And he himself was finally inspired, and gradually got rid of his usual too old and simple style of poetry, and became more and more beautiful.
It has become more and more sophisticated, simple and straightforward, and it seems to be a brand of its own.
Lin Lushan was very happy with the progress of his poems. He wanted to thank the expert who gave him guidance. Under Du Yu's introduction, he found Xiao Buyi and learned from Xiao Buyi the secret method of waking up from dreams at any time.
, with the help of this method, he finally met the master who gave him guidance in his dream.
"She must be a woman." Wu Jie suddenly interrupted.
Lin Lushan blushed immediately, lowered his head and was speechless.
Wu Jie frowned, vaguely guessing, and asked, "Can you take me to see her?"
"Of course!" Lin Lushan stood up happily and hurriedly led the way, "Even if you don't tell me, fourth brother, I will introduce him!"
Wu Jie followed Lin Lushan to the study room, and saw that the place was beautiful and elegant, with a graceful and luxurious aroma lingering in the air. It was indeed a first-class place for reading and studying.
It's just that this place is not big. Wu Jie can see everything at a glance. Apart from them, where is the third person?
Wu Jie couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Lin Lushan didn't know anything about it and shouted happily: "Dan'er! Dan'er! My fourth brother is back! Come and meet him!"
But he called several times, but no one showed up.
"It's strange... she usually appears when I call her name..." Lin Lushan looked very surprised and hurriedly explained to Wu Jie, "Maybe she just happened to be away today. Fourth brother, don't worry."
"Why aren't you here?" Wu Jie sneered, letting go of the aura that had been gathering, and the powerful aura immediately spread out, covering the whole area around the study.
"I don't care where you come from, but it's best to come out now!" His tone was quite unkind, and the left eye covered with magic revealed the true appearance of the fire eye. The burning flame seemed to be alive in him.
The eyes were twitching, and an invisible burning feeling slowly spread out, like a tiger that was ready to attack, ready to pounce on its prey at any time.
Forced by this scorching power, a peony in the garden outside the house shook violently, and a girl wearing a pink and green palace dress appeared. Her face was pale, her face was full of fear, she was so trembling that she couldn't even speak.
come out.
Wu Jie's eyes widened, and countless flames sprang up around his body, condensing a big flaming hand, and grabbed the girl's head.
"Fourth brother, please show mercy!" Lin Lushan was stunned by the sudden change at first, but when he saw Wu Jie taking action, he immediately reacted and shouted while rushing over to protect the girl with his body, "She is
Dan'er!"
At the same time, a black energy surged from outside the distant wall, blocking the big flaming hand.
Wu Jie snorted coldly, and smacked down the flames with his big hand, smashing the black energy into pieces and turning into a woman in black, vomiting blood and falling to the side.
After lightly knocking down the woman in black, Wu Jie did not continue to attack. Instead, he stood there calmly and asked coldly: "What on earth is going on? Why did the two monsters appear in my brother's study?"
?You’d better explain it to me clearly!”
As soon as he approached the study just now, he felt that there was evil energy here. Although it was not strong or evil, the evil energy was evil after all!
Monsters and people are different in nature. After being together for a long time, various troubles may easily arise due to aura sensitivity. If the person is a monk and has enough energy and soul to condense, then there is no problem; but if the person is a mortal, the energy is not strong, and the soul is not strong enough.
If it is not strong, the breath will often be connected with evil spirit.
There are two situations in this connection: the spirit of the plant monster is weaker than that of humans, so the breath will continue to flow into the human body, causing the human body to constantly change towards the monster; the spirit of the animal monster is stronger than that of humans, and
Continuously absorbing people's breath makes people become weaker and weaker.
Neither the former situation nor the latter situation is a good thing.
It is against the law of heaven for a living person to turn into a monster, and the calamity of the heart fire will arise in the dark. It doesn't matter if you are a Taoist who has achieved success in cultivation. When a mortal encounters the calamity of the heart fire, there is almost no possibility of surviving, and 100% of the time he will be burned to death.
live.
Not to mention the latter one, if it continues to weaken, it will soon become seriously ill and eventually die!
Lin Lushan's current situation is the former one. Most of his aura of aura does not come from himself, but from the monster. Although the monster does not seem to be malicious and is not a bad thing in itself, if this continues, Lin Lushan will
If one's own aura cannot suppress that spiritual beauty, the body will begin to transform into a monster, and in the end it will inevitably lead to a catastrophe of inner fire.
As an elder brother, how could Wu Jie allow his brother to end up with a burning heart and no bones left for no reason!
Although he has always been reasonable, if it involves his brother's life, especially if Lin Lushan is a pure and innocent person... Even if he wants to be overbearing and unreasonable once, he will admit it!
Anyway... no matter on earth or in this world, in this kind of story, they, the Taoist immortals, play the negative role of beating up the mandarin ducks...
Wu Jie really frightened the two monsters at this time, and Lin Lushan was even more frightened - it's a pity that he has lived for eighteen years, when has he ever seen such a big scene!
The courtyard suddenly fell into an uncomfortable silence. After a while, Lin Lushan spoke first.
"Fourth brother, there...is there some misunderstanding?"
Wu Jie raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Two monsters have come to live next to your study. Misunderstanding? How else can we misunderstand you? You are eating in a restaurant, and the tables around you are empty. Two sturdy men are carrying snowflakes.
The knife went straight to your table...Do you think it's a misunderstanding?"
"They are just weak women..."
"I can tell you responsibly that these two weak women can beat dozens of strong men with knives, and after the beating, they won't even take a breath or shed a drop of sweat. Old Five, you are
A gentleman who only reads books from sages cannot be fooled by reading! The strength of monsters has nothing to do with their appearance!"
"But weren't they both knocked down by one move from you?"
"That's your brother, I can fight! Let someone else take a look!" Wu Jie's voice suddenly became louder, "Don't get in the way, I will give them a lesson today!"
"Why! We didn't harm anyone!" The woman in black couldn't help shouting, "How amazing is your magic power? Bullying two little monsters is nothing!"
"Three years ago, I burned to death the eldest and second eldest of the Four Southeastern Evils. They were guys who had been running rampant in the world for hundreds of years." Wu Jie said disdainfully, "Little monsters like you, if you don't provoke
It's my head, I really don't bother to do it."
"Then just be noble and let us go..." The woman in black had a grimace on her face, and Wu Jie pretended not to see her.
"Even an immortal cannot wrongly accuse someone!" the girl in pink said. Her voice was low, but there was a sense of determination: "We have never harmed him. We are willing to swear to God that if there are lies, the sky will thunder.
Crack, smash into pieces!”
"Dan'er!" Lin Lushan saw her angry and hurriedly persuaded her, "Fourth brother, they have really never harmed me!"
Wu Jie sighed and explained to him the disadvantages of humans and monsters living together, and finally said: "Humans and monsters living together, breath induction. Whether they want to harm you or not, the result is actually the same. Look at you, there is already a delicate aura between your eyebrows -
-This means that the flower demon's evil spirit has penetrated into your body. Fortunately, the time is short and the situation is not serious. As long as it takes a while, this breath will naturally dissipate. But if you have been with them for a long time... then it is
I can't save you either!"
Lin Lushan was speechless after saying this, but he still had a reluctant look on his face, as if he wanted the woman to die.
The girl in pink clothes had a sad look on her face, knelt down and said: "The little demon has very little knowledge and never knew that getting along with a human and a demon can be so harmful. Now that I know about it today, of course I will not stay by his side to harm him anymore..."
…”
As she said this, she stood up slowly and was about to leave. Lin Lushan was willing to let go and hugged her.
The scene was quite chaotic for a while, but Wu Jie felt helpless that he was unable to do anything.
At this moment, a figure flashed, and Xiao Buyi came over with a smile and persuaded: "Fellow Daoist Wu, what you are worried about is the fire tribulation caused by the breath induction. If I can help them solve this problem, can I show my favor?
?”
Wu Jie was stunned and looked back at him.
"I've done some calculations for Mr. Lin. If he wants to become famous in the future, the key will fall on this peony flower demon. Although this will cost some lifespan, you might as well let him choose. He can only live.
Fifty years, but can you be famous all over the world and be famous forever? Or can you live a hundred years but have no name?"
"Of course I choose to be famous all over the world and be famous forever!" Lin Lushan said without hesitation, "Living for fifty years is enough. What about another fifty years? If a man can win a name that will be famous throughout the world,
Liufang, let alone fifty years, even if I can only live for thirty years, I will be willing to live!"
Wu Jie looked at his determined expression and recalled how he had to protect the Flower Demon no matter what. He couldn't help but sigh deeply and could no longer say anything against it.
"Forget it... Fellow Daoist Xiao, you can figure it out..."
