Miaoweizi smiled and said, "Don't forget what you said today."
With a flick of his sleeve, he disappeared.
A few days later, late at night, Lin Xiaodong sat quietly and thought to himself: "In this world, it is inevitable to fight with evil people, and you need some people who can take advantage of you."
On the morning of the second day, Lin Xiaodong went down the mountain and came to Xu's house.
Xu Lin's new house has been erected and the roof has been built, and it will be ready to move in in a few days.
Ding Huiran, Xu Lin, and Xu Qing came to pick him up.
Xu Qing was in high spirits, looked up and said with a smile: "Brother Lin!"
Ding Huiran took Lin Xiaodong's arm and said, "Master Xiao Lin is here. Have you eaten in the morning? Let's eat together."
Lin Xiaodong said: "No, Auntie, I have to go out for a few days and let you know."
Xu Qing stared and grinned: "Ah?
Where is Brother Lin going?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Go and take a look elsewhere."
Xu Qing asked: "Will it come again?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded and smiled: "Come back."
Xu Qing nodded: "Brother Lin, please be careful."
Ding Huiran said: "If you want to go out, I will get you some dry food to eat on the way."
Lin Xiaodong waved his hand: "No need, Auntie, I don't eat at all, so it feels heavy to carry it on the road."
Xu Lin said: "When Master Lin comes back, my new house will be built. Then come over and have a drink."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Definitely."
After greeting the Xu family, Lin Xiaodong left the village and walked around.
Three days later, at noon, he came to a river with mountains to the south and water to the north. Lin Xiaodong squinted and saw a golden line between the water surface and the beach on the river bank. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "There is gold here."
Lin Xiaodong walked along the river for a while, found a clean stone, and sat down cross-legged.
In the afternoon, two young Taoists borrowed water to escape and saw Lin Xiaodong meditating on the roadside and stopped.
The two of them looked at Lin Xiaodong, and one of them said: "Who is this person? I have never seen him before."
Another person pouted: "Meditating seems pretty decent."
The person in front shouted: "Hey, wake up!"
Lin Xiaodong ignored him.
The latter person curled his lips: "Humph, you are just pretending, I don't believe you are really in trance."
With a finger and a stroke, a wave of water rose up in the river and hit Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong didn't move at all, but the waves were floating in the air, as if time and space had stopped.
The two of them opened their mouths and stared, "Oh?"
Lin Xiaodong opened his eyes and said, "Lin is sitting here quietly, why are you two harassing me?"
The two of them crossed their arms and raised their chests, and they became arrogant. One of them said loudly: "I am Ji Qiming of the Jingli Sect of Guangjin Mountain. This is my junior brother Lu Tai. Who are you, who came here to meditate?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Lin Xiaodong, the wanderer of Fangdao."
Lu Tai grinned after hearing this: "That means there is no way."
Lin Xiaodong looked up at the sky, blinked, and said, "Although I have a mentor, I really don't have a sect."
Ji Qiming shouted: "This is the territory of our Jingli Sect, what are you doing here?"
Lin Xiaodong pointed to the river and said, "This river belongs to your Jingli Sect?"
Lu Tai put his hands on his hips: "Yes, whatever you want to do must be approved by us first."
Lin Xiaodong pointed to the boundary of the water bank and said: "There is gold here."
Ji Qiming grinned after hearing this: "Aren't you a wanderer?
He is very greedy for money."
Lu Tai said: "Don't think about it. The gold here has been mined long ago. It will be your turn."
Ji Qiming taught him a lesson: "Besides, what is the use of money as a cultivator?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I want gold, not for money, but for refining treasures."
After hearing this, Ji Qiming turned his head and curled his lips: "Refining treasures?
What kind of treasure can be made from gold?
Are you going to make gold ingots and smash them to death?"
Lu Tai crossed his arms and pouted: "If you want to dig for gold, just say so. But don't blame us for not reminding you. Don't waste your efforts. The gold mines here have been mined for hundreds of years. Is it still your turn?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Lin is indeed here to refine treasures."
Ji Qiming and Lu Tai looked at each other, and Ji Qiming said: "Then you practice, and I'll see what treasures you can make out of gold."
Lu Tai smiled and said, "Then you must be able to find gold first."
Lin Xiaodong chuckled: "You take care of it."
With a snap of his fingers, the golden thread and gold powder at the junction of the water bank flew up on their own and gathered in the palm of his hand.
Ji Qiming and Lu Tai both opened their mouths and stared, thinking that if they had this ability, wouldn't they make a fortune if they used it to dig for gold?
After a while, the gold powder that could not be found by panning for gold in the river had gathered into a gold ingot as big as a fist.
Ji Qiming asked: "Who are you?
What method is this?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Young Taoist, it's just a little trick from the left."
Lu Tai said: "Teach us!"
Lin Xiaodong educated him with a straight face: "What is the use of money as a cultivator?"
Lu Tai scratched his head and smiled: "I'm just joking. If you have this ability to pan for gold, you will become a rich man already. How can you cultivate?"
Lin Xiaodong sneered: "I practice this technique to refine treasures, but you learn this technique to get rich, how can I teach you?"
When Lu Tai heard this, he became anxious, his expression changed, and he rolled up his sleeves: "How come you, a Taoist, don't know what is right?"
Lin Xiaodong looked up and asked, "Is this your attitude of seeking truth from others?"
Lu Tai grinned and cursed: "I come to you for help because I think highly of you! Don't forget, this is the territory of my Jingli Sect!"
Lin Xiaodong spread his hands: "How can these mountains, rivers and rivers, created by heaven and earth, be the territory of your Jingli Sect?"
Ji Qiming said: "Not only does this territory belong to our Jingli Sect, but this gold ingot in your hand also belongs to us. If you don't teach me this method, you can't even think of taking away this gold ingot!"
Lin Xiaodong smiled scornfully: "Lin can come and go as he pleases, let alone ordinary Taoists like you, even the decree of the King of Heaven cannot keep him here!"
Lu Tai immediately unsheathed his sword: "I must learn this method today. If you don't teach me, I won't be able to leave this place alive!"
Lin Xiaodong smiled ferociously: "It's just you?"
Lu Tai became angry: "Seeking death!"
The Yangli sword stabbed Lin Xiaodong in the chest.
Lin Xiaodong jumped up, holding a gold ingot in one hand and a mahogany sword in the other, and stood in the same place as Lu Tai.
Lu Tai could see clearly that Lin Xiaodong clearly used a wooden sword and said: "Can you defeat me with this sword?"
Lin Xiaodong smiled and said: "What can you do to me even if you are empty-handed?"
Lu Tai said: "What an arrogant boy!"
Come and get it with your sword.
Lin Xiaodong raised his wooden sword horizontally, held the Yangli sword, and raised both swords of Lu Tai at the same time. They moved back and forth and killed more than twenty people.
How could Lu Tai be his opponent? He retreated with a feint and asked in surprise: "Who are you?"
Where is the mountain gate?"
Lin Xiaodong rolled his sleeves: "Didn't you hear clearly?
Lin, a Taoist wanderer, where did he get the mountain gate?"
Lu Tai did not dare to fight in close combat anymore, and said: "Let me see how your Taoism is doing!"
As soon as he raised his hand, black jade thorns flew out from the bottom of his sleeve and hung on the top.
Ji Qiming asked: "What magic weapon do you have?"
Lin Xiaodong replied: "It is precisely because we have no magic weapon that we came to practice it!"
After hearing this, Lu Tai said contemptuously: "You have only Taoism but no magic weapon. How can you be my opponent?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I will use this gold ingot to make one now!"
