New and dark light years

Chapter 74: War Begins

The Tree Fairy Queen has always been cold and Li Lin is used to it.

His eyes then lit up because he found that the Tree Fairy's lips were very shiny, light pink on the sides, and a bright red in the middle.

It looks extremely beautiful.

It turns out that this is the 'Snow Marrow Vermilion'.

"My lady, you used rouge, it looks really good."

The coldness on the Tree Fairy Lady's body has diminished a little.

Then she twisted her tail, turned around and left.

Li Lin actually wanted to say "I want to try it" because it looked really delicious.

But he didn't dare. He believed that if he said it out loud, he would most likely be beaten into a pulp by the long snake tail of the Tree Fairy.

After the Tree Fairy Lady left, Li Lin continued to study the book "Daogong Xishu".

He had already finished learning the paper-folding book, because it recorded two paper-folding techniques.

This is also very normal. The Taoist priest is just a folk shaman. He does not need to have great skills. It is enough to understand the basics of paper-folding.

Then comes the making of talismans. The Taoist priest also gives detailed instructions on how to get started with cultivation.

Li Lin had already bought the materials and started drawing according to the book.

Following the continuous text prompts, Li Lin finally completed the first talisman paper after wasting several pieces of yellow paper.

Calming talisman.

This is the spell that Taoist priests must learn.

During funerals, many filial sons and daughters, or deeply in love men and women, will cry their hearts out.

If you are not careful, it is easy to cause illness. If you are too excited, sticking a calming talisman on the back of these people can help them not to be too upset.

Looking at the meditation talisman, Li Lin nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and stretched.

When I turned around, I found the soul-guiding paper man running down the mountain.

This time it didn't swing around on the tree. It probably knew that the herbs in the bamboo basket behind it would easily spill out if it jumped around.

Soon, the paper man came in front of Li Lin and put down the bamboo basket.

Li Lin squatted down and checked the bamboo basket. He found that the herbs were picked correctly and of good quality.

He was very satisfied. Looking at the paper figure standing quietly, he had an idea in his mind.

Since he can collect herbs, can he also make fire, cook, and do housework?

He stretched out his hand and injected Yin energy into the soul-guiding paper figure, while giving orders.

Sure enough, this idea was correct.

This soul paper figure can indeed do these jobs.

It just didn't know how to wash rice. Before cooking, it put the rice into the pot and handed it directly to Li Lin, asking him to do it.

It seems that he has a certain degree of intelligence and is not very stupid.

Then why are the little paper people so stupid? Is it because they use the image of the Tree Fairy?

Li Lin didn’t know and didn’t care. As long as the thing was useful, it was fine.

He spent the next two days comfortably.

Having a paper man here to help with the work really made things a lot easier for him.

Even refining the elixir became a lot easier, and he used the alchemy furnace to cook two pots of beauty pills in one go.

Next, you will practice slowly according to the plan.

Martial arts need to be practiced, elixirs need to be refined, mental methods need to be refined, and talismans need to be refined even more.

I hardly have any free time for myself.

He thought that such fulfilling days could last for a while, but at noon on the third day, when he was eating blood rice, he saw a column of green smoke rising into the sky in the distance.

Beacon smoke!

Judging from the location, it should be in the direction of Bobai Military Town.

There is an enemy invasion.

Li Lin ate a few mouthfuls of blood rice, took out his bag, put the Shengxi pills, two bottles of Yangyan pills, and the mask into the bag, and put it on his shoulder. He picked up his spear and trotted out.

At this time, a large group of villagers had gathered at the entrance of the village, pointing at the beacon smoke, and everyone had a heavy expression.

The villagers are not stupid, they know what the beacon smoke represents.

Li Lin used the light body technique to run wildly. It took him half an hour, a little more than an incense stick, to reach the county town.

Because of the war, Yulin County has been under martial law and ordinary people are prohibited from entering or leaving.

Li Lin ran over and the local soldiers guarding the city saw him and immediately opened the city gate a crack to let him in.

After all, almost all the local soldiers guarding the city recognized Li Lin.

Entering the county town, Li Lin once again felt the heavy atmosphere, and there were fewer pedestrians on the streets.

He did not go directly to the county government office, but went to Huang's house and knocked on the door.

The red door opened, and the gatekeeper looked at Li Lin, stunned for a moment, and said respectfully: "Li Xunshu, you are here to visit the master. He has already gone to the county government office."

"No, is Hongluan here?"

"exist!"

"Please ask her to come out, as soon as possible."

"Hongluan." The doorman called inside.

Soon a little girl walked out quickly with a puzzled look on her face, but when she saw Li Lin, her expression immediately became happy.

"Mr. Li, why are you here?" Hongluan asked curiously, her face slightly red.

Li Lin took out a beauty pill from his bag and said, "Please give it to my elder sister. This is a beauty pill, very useful."

"Oh!" Hongluan took it and patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely hand it over to you personally, Miss."

"sorry to bother you."

Li Lin turned around and left, heading for the county government office not far away.

Hongluan looked at Li Lin's back quietly, with special emotions in her eyes.

The doorman smiled and said, "Don't look anymore. Everyone has left. You are lucky to be following the young lady."

Hongluan glared at the old doorman, holding the two porcelain bottles, and returned to the yard.

At this time, Li Lin also arrived at the county court.

Huang Yan was already sitting there. He saw Li Lin and nodded slightly to him.

At this time, the people had nowhere to come from. All the spirit hunters had arrived, even Zhao Xiaohu had arrived, but a few captains and captains had not arrived yet.

After waiting for a while, several people came one after another. Two of them still smelled of alcohol, but judging from their consciousness, they were still sober.

"We're finally here." Huang Yan's expression looked normal, but there was still a hint of worry in his eyes. "You all should have seen the signal fire from Bobai Military Town. We don't know if Bobai Military Town can still be defended, but we have to send troops regardless. Captain Shi, how many local troops do you have left who can go into battle?"

Shi Dutou stepped out and said, "Four hundred men, one hundred archers, one hundred sword and shield soldiers, and two hundred spearmen."

"Then march out immediately to reinforce Bobai Military Town. If this proves unsuccessful, immediately retreat to the county seat and defend it."

"Yes!" Shi Dutou retreated back to the queue.

Huang Yan looked to his left and said, "Captain Qiu, take twenty men with you and light the beacon tower immediately."

"As ordered."

Huang Yan continued, "Deputy Chief Mo, you will lead thirty men to patrol the streets and maintain law and order. If you see any lawbreakers, arrest them immediately. Anyone who dares to fight back will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

Huang Yan looked at the spirit hunters at this time and said: "All spirit hunters will follow Shi Dutou to Bobai Military Town and assist Shi Dutou as much as possible. However, at critical moments, you can make your own decisions and be under the control of Su Huafang's patrol!"

Yes!
The spirit hunters clasped their fists together and accepted the order.

Huang Yan picked up the gavel and slammed it on the table: "Depart immediately!"

The people in the court soon dispersed.

A large number of yamen runners also left the county government office, and the place suddenly became quiet.

Huang Yan sat there for a while, then sighed softly.

His eldest son, Huang Qi, had previously led the local army to support Tang Qi's border troops. They used to be in contact by carrier pigeons, but now... I haven't heard from him for several days, and I don't know how he is doing.

I hope everything is fine.

Huang Yan sat there for a while before standing up and planning to go home and rest.
