It was very cold at night and the moonlight was very cold.
There is only a bonfire on the mountain road for dozens of miles.
Two Taoists and a warrior are sitting here, and a fox and a cat are waiting. The horses are munching grass leisurely next to the moonlight, and the sound of chewing grass is very relaxing.
The fish and rabbit meat was gradually roasted until fragrant, and after being brushed with oil and spices by the junior sister, small bubbles appeared on the surface of the meat.
Lin Jue sat next to him and waited quietly.
At this time, I feel a little regretful——
When I came here, I packed lightly. I only brought a little spiritual wood for repairing bean soldiers and a fine carving knife. I didn't bring much, otherwise I could carve slowly during my free time on the way back.
Now I have to practice other spells.
Of these residual soul obsessions I encountered tonight, I wonder how many of them would be willing to stay and help me in the end?
Anyway, I just happened to get the spirit wood, but I just need to be obsessed with the residual soul. If I can meet some on the roadside, it is more or less a surprise.
When I go back, I will pass through the border pass. I heard from Luo Gong that there are often wars and frictions at the border pass. There are several ancient battlefields there. On thundery nights, ghosts cry and wolves howl.
Moreover, since ancient times, the frontier armies and border generals of the Central Plains dynasties not only fought against humans, but sometimes also conquered monsters that caused trouble on the business roads, or resisted the invasion of monsters. There were often heroic souls unwilling to be reconciled.
If it is an ordinary heroic soul of a soldier on an ancient battlefield, relying on the words "Kill the demons and evil spirits" by itself, it is estimated that many remaining souls will not be able to attract many obsessive souls to follow them voluntarily. However, if they die at the hands of demons, they will naturally subdue the demons out of reluctance.
The obsession to eliminate demons coincides with my own.
While I was thinking about it, the rabbit meat and fish were all cooked.
The naan bread next to it was also heated.
A few people used the naan bread as a bowl, shaved off the roasted rabbit meat and fish with spices and fat, put it on top, and ate it with the naan bread.
The spices and fats are soaked into the naan bread, and the aroma of wheat and meat are mixed together, giving it a unique flavor.
After eating, we rest here.
The two Taoists sat cross-legged and breathed, and the martial artist imitated them and sat cross-legged beside them, closing his eyes and meditating.
A night watch lamp hangs on the tree.
I was going to rest for a while and then go look for the monster. Unexpectedly, not long after I sat down, the night watch light exploded, and the fox suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance.
The three of them opened their eyes at the same time and turned to look.
I saw a yellow light flying through the grass and woods, like a firefly.
"Huh? In a dream?"
Lin Jue had also learned this type of spell and could vaguely feel it.
However, when the firefly flew closer and I took a closer look, I found that it was actually carried by a fat flying insect. The light spot was a dream, carried by a flying insect.
"What a strange method."
Lin Jue knew that this was the Western Region outside the Great Wall, so he didn't feel too strange. He just stretched out a hand to hold the flying insect in the air. He looked down and saw that his fox was staring at him intently, while the colorful fox was staring at him intently.
Looking at this light spot, I seem to have the idea of ​​jumping up and grabbing it.
Lin Jue thought a little.
"It should be sent by the monsters and gods here. Let me see what it is and please protect it for me."
When the little junior sister heard this, she raised her sword and stood up.
Foxes and raccoons also stretched out their ears, alert to their surroundings.
The warrior also walked not far away with a sword.
Only the Taoist sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and pinched the light spot.
Monsters and gods entrust dreams to ordinary people, only unconsciously. However, if they entrust dreams to people who practice the right way, it is easy to detect, and they need the permission of the person who is entrusted with the dream. However, for people who practice the right way and practice and know the way to entrust dreams.
Entrusting a dream will make it easier to detect. If the means are not enough, just send it over openly and openly.
Although this person's method is a bit strange, it is basically the same principle.
After Lin Jue closed his eyes, he fell into a dream.
In the dream, I was in a trance, and I saw a magnificent palace. There were many maids and guards in the palace, but I couldn't see clearly. I could only see a plump and beautiful middle-aged woman in the middle, dressed in gorgeous clothes and saluting him.
"I am the local god, the ancestor of Qinshan, and I have seen the real person."
"He's not a real person, he's just a Taoist. Just call him Taoist Master." Lin Jue thought to himself that it was a way to bring down dreams. "Why did the ancestors of Qinshan drop dreams to me?"
"Before, the Taoist priest and his companions chased a monster. When we passed by here, we saw the Taoist priest fighting with the monster. We saw the monster leading the Taoist priest to other evil monsters. The Taoist priest and his companions got rid of the evil monster, so we knew that the Taoist priest was fighting with the monster.
The leader and his companions are very capable." Qinshan Ancestor said, "So I came to ask the Taoist leader for help."
Lin Jue had heard about the gods asking for help in dreams elsewhere, so he was not surprised and just asked:
"What's up?"
"There is a monster here who knows a kind of magic, which was passed down from the Central Plains. It can make the birds flying in the sky and the beasts running on the ground listen to his words." This god named Qinchuan Zuzu speaks in the Central Plains dialect.
"This monster killed many businessmen from it on the road. Many people prayed to me and hoped that I would kill it, but the monster was very powerful and I didn't have the ability to get rid of it."
"Gather the beasts and adjust the birds..."
Lin Jue murmured in his mouth.
"Yes, it's this kind of magic." Qinchuan Ancestor nodded and said with a smile, "I know that many magic spells have weaknesses. For example, the magic of fast running cannot eat horse meat. People from the Fire-hate country in the south
Everyone knows the fire-repelling technique that can spit fire, but they never eat things like snow lotus. The Taoist master learned from it, so I would like to ask the Taoist priest how to break this spell."
"Break this spell..."
Lin Jue frowned and thought, feeling troubled.
It is true that many spells in the world have weaknesses, either mutually reinforcing each other, or having flaws. This is the mystery of spells, and it is also interesting.
There are naturally flaws in gathering animals and regulating birds.
Lin Jue also learned this magic, so he naturally knew it.
But nine out of ten people who practice the method of gathering beasts and regulating birds are people with pure hearts.
According to the original words of the fourth senior brother at that time——
"Some people who want to practice this method must not eat meat for life; some people who practice this method must not put these living creatures in danger, otherwise the magic will not be able to be performed; some people who practice this method only need to maintain a minimum respect for the living creatures in the world.
As long as you respect them, you can eat meat; for those who practice this method, as long as they do not actively harm the living creatures they associate with, other than that, they can still hunt and fish, kill chickens and stew ducks."
Some need to be kind to all birds and beasts, while others only need to be kind to the birds and beasts they make friends with.
The minimum requirement is to be kind to the birds and beasts you associate with.
In fact, it is a very spiritual technique.
If this monster doesn't eat meat, that's fine. If it eats meat, all you need to do is to catch a bird or beast it has befriended, cut off the meat, trick it into taking a bite, and then tell it, and the spell will be broken naturally. It may even be possible.
It will never be able to cast this spell again for the rest of its life.
"..."
Lin Jueru thought, but still shook his head.
This is too vicious and cruel. Even if this monster is heinous, it is this monster that is heinous, not Lin Jue. How could he tell people such a vicious and cruel method?
So he saluted this god:
"I can't answer that."
"Does the Taoist priest not know?" The middle-aged woman couldn't help but look regretful.
"Gods, don't worry. We also heard about this monster harming people on the road, and it also harmed my companion's fellow villagers. We originally wanted to collect the bodies and bones of our fellow villagers, so we also went to find the monster and avenge these heroes.
In order to give them peace of mind and eliminate a harm to this trade route, why not let the gods directly tell us where it is, what skills it has, and how powerful it is, so we can just go find it and kill it!"
"Why is this so embarrassing?"
"Why are you so embarrassed? We are just trying to get rid of the demon."
"..."
The middle-aged woman thought for a moment and then said:
"The monster only needs to shout to attract eagles flying in the sky and wild beasts running on the ground. It itself often stays with a pack of wolves, many bears, a group of falcons and a few ibexes. These animals are more refined than many.
The monsters are even more powerful, and even my guards can't deal with them.
"There are hundreds of brave warriors in the world who are no match for them.
"If the Taoist leader really wants to find it, I can send him a Chen Niu Talisman to guide him."
"It sounds like we can handle it." Lin Jue said, and then asked, "What is the Chen Niu Fu?"
"It was a little ghost left by the Han people who lived here many years ago, named Chen Niu, and later became my servant spirit. It was good at finding the way. After the Taoist Master got the Chen Niu Talisman, he shouted "Chen Niu"
Niu Chenniu, look for the monster that can drive birds and beasts, and it will show the way to the Taoist priest."
"So that's it."
"Then I'll leave..."
"Please wait!"
Lin Jue stopped the god.
"What else?"
"Your Majesty is the god here. I am helping you get rid of demons, so I would like to ask you, have you ever heard of Millennium Snow Lotus?" Lin Jue asked.
"Thousand-year Snow Lotus?"
"yes."
"Snow lotuses only have a lifespan of seven or eight years, and rarely live for a thousand years. Only on the Tianshan Mountains, under the care of the gods, can snow lotuses bloom for thousands of years." The middle-aged woman said, "What I know is that on the Tianshan Mountains in the south,
The gods will plant snow lotuses for thousands of years, but only one snow lotus blooms every fifty years. At that time, the gods will hold a snow lotus meeting, and invite many gods, monsters and people with skills to participate. But the latest one will not be until seven years later.
Gone."
"Seven years later..." Lin Jue murmured to himself, "How to find it?"
"If the Taoist Master can get rid of the monster and bring its head or a token, I can give the Taoist Master another Chen Niu Talisman. Then the Taoist Master only needs to shout 'Chen Niu Chen Niu, go to the Snow Lotus Society', and it will
I will take the Taoist priest to the Tianshan Mountain to find the Tianshan Snow Lotus."
"I see……"
I'm afraid it will be similar to the Thousand Days Banquet held by the Tiger of Langtou Mountain every ten years, and it will need to be exchanged for other good things.
seven years...
Lin Jueru thought and nodded repeatedly.
Suddenly he frowned again.
Although this spirit outside the Great Wall can speak the Central Plains dialect, it is very bloody and utilitarian, and will often trade monster heads for things.
"Can."
Lin Jue nodded and agreed.
"I'll ask my guards to send two Chen Niu Talismans later, one to find the monster, and one to come to my palace."
"good."
The dream soon dissipated.
Lin Jue opened his eyes.
There was still a bonfire burning in front of him, crackling continuously. Junior Sister, Cai Li, Fox, and Mr. Luo stood in three different directions to protect him.
"call……"
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them, one fox and one cat, turned around.
"It's the local god. She asked me in my dream how to break the monster's spell. I said we should go and get rid of the monster for her. She will ask the guards to send two talismans later to help us find the way."
"Um."
The three of them sat down by the fire again.
Time passes little by little.
The junior sister used a wooden branch to stir the fire. The fox was facing the fire, with flames reflected in his eyes, while Cai Li was already asleep.
After a long time, there was suddenly the sound of horse hooves.
A man and a horse came at night, stopped at the edge illuminated by the fire, and did not dare to get close. He only made a few gestures to them, put down something, and left again.
"Oh……"
Lin Jue laughed.
The guards of the ancestors of Qinshan are not gods like the military attaches under the Central Plains City God, nor are they gods like the soldiers under the military attaches, nor are they the spirits under the mountain gods in Yishan, but living people.
This place is indeed different from the Central Plains.
If in the Central Plains, there is the Nine Heavens God System, the priests have their own servants, and the gods and people follow the rules and have boundaries, there will be a lot of rules.
White shadows jumped back and forth on the mountain road at night, and Fuyao consciously went to pick up the things.
They are exactly two triangular talismans.
Lin Jue took it and inspected it carefully. He did not use it immediately, but put it away:
"With this thing, we won't be in a hurry to find the monster. Let's rest here for the night and set off again tomorrow morning."
"good."
The three of them used the sky as their quilt and the earth as their bed, and slept on the ground.
Don't be afraid that this is a haunted place.
Chapter completed!
