The next morning, the weather was light and cloudy.
Green mountains, green lakes, wooden houses beside the forest, Taoist priests are bowing to the mountain spirits.
"Thanks for the hospitality."
Lin Jue paused as he spoke and looked at the wooden stick in the mountain spirit's hand: "I wonder if I can borrow this wooden stick for use. If there is no accident, I will send it back to you in two days."
The mountain spirit lowered his head to look at the wooden stick and without hesitation, raised his hand and handed it to him.
"Thank you."
Lin Jue took the wooden stick, glanced at it, and saw that it also had a faint aura, so he got on the horse.
His eyes swept over the mountain spirit, the landscape, and the wolves and ibexes, giant bears and falcons in the distance. He said "goodbye" and rode away.
There were two people riding beside him, two donkeys, and a fox riding on the wind, who also followed.
After climbing over the green hillside with gentle curves in front of them, the scenery disappeared before their eyes. Even the reception they received last night seemed like a dream. Only an eagle hovering above their heads seemed to remind them that they were here so far away.
Outside the Great Wall, thousands of miles away from Huizhou, I met a friend whom I had only known for half a day.
Lin Jue took out another Chen Niu Talisman and held it in his hand:
"Chen Niu Chen Niu, go find the ancestor of Qinshan."
With a bang, the little ghost appeared out of thin air, and the talisman burned into ashes.
The appearance of a typical farm boy was floating in the air, and his face began to be a little dazed. When he saw these people again, he was a little surprised. Then he raised his hand and pointed in front of him and said in surprise:
"My name is Chen Niu.
"Go this way!"
"Thank you!"
"Go this way!"
Lin Jue rode forward slowly on horseback, passed by him, turned to him and asked: "This is so far away from the Central Plains, how did you get here?"
Luo Monk passed him from the other side and also turned to look at him: "This is now a small country outside the Pass, but it was included in the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty hundreds of years ago. Maybe it came here at that time."
Chen Niu stared at them strangely, not knowing why, and he just pointed his finger in front:
"Go this way!"
The fox stood on the ground, stood upright, stretched out its paws and gently teased the little ghost in the air.
The kid looked down and felt a little helpless, so he had to try his best to float a little higher, while still pointing forward, and said to the fox:
"Go this way..."
Lin Jue was thinking in his heart and kept walking.
Another day trip.
The group of people gradually walked into another large mountain.
It's the same beautiful scenery, but the snow-capped mountains are missing, and the climate is closer to that on the road. The grasslands and forests turn yellow earlier than where the mountain spirits live. The mountain plains are already obviously yellow, and the forests in the distance can also be seen in patches of yellow and red.
There is a magnificent palace in the mountain, which is quite impressive.
A grassless road leads that way.
This place is so remote that there are actually many people wearing local clothes walking here. Whenever they walk to the palace in front, they all have their heads lowered and are extremely pious. If they walk back, most of them are in groups of three or two, chatting and laughing freely.
"The incense of this ancestor of Qinshan is very strong." Luo Monk said while sitting on his horse.
"It is our rule to use incense to carry the power of wishes. The gods here are not organized and do not use incense to carry the power of wishes." Lin Jue said, "But she does have a wide range of followers."
"Something good."
"It's natural."
"No wonder...no wonder..."
Luo Monk said twice that it was no wonder, but did not say it clearly.
However, both Lin Jue and the junior sister could hear it. There must be something in it. No wonder it was Lin Jue's doubt this morning: the ancestor of Qinshan claimed in his dream that he did not have the ability to get rid of the mountain spirit, and the mountain spirit also told him
Lin felt that she was not good at fighting, but the mountain spirit was very capable, but she was able to drive the mountain spirit away so far.
Another reason why it is strange is that on the way here today, Monk Luo had his own doubts - about this monster causing trouble on the roadside, we only heard that it intercepted and killed passing merchants, but never heard that it killed local people.
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves ahead.
Two knights wearing yellow clothes came on horseback. The horses' hooves splashed up a long stream of soil. The wind blew up the clothes, and the leather armor underneath was faintly visible.
"Go this way!"
The kid pointed at the palace ahead.
The knight had also stopped in front of the group of people.
"guest!"
one of the knights shouted in a strange accent.
"We followed Chen Niu's guidance and found the monster and brought the token." Lin Jue showed the wooden stick in his hand.
Luo Monk looked at the two knights.
The knight guessed that he had dealt with the mountain spirit. He knew it just by looking at the wooden staff. His eyes shrank, and he was more respectful and wary of them, but also a little puzzled:
"How did you three defeat him?"
"We have our own abilities."
"What ability?"
the knight asked after him.
However, there is one strange thing about the accent, that is, you can't tell whether he is chasing after you, or whether he is just unfamiliar with the language and habits of the Central Plains dynasty. In fact, his intention is just curiosity.
Lin Jue didn't understand either, and after thinking for a while he said: "We are sitting on horses, so it is not convenient to show our skills, but my Fuyao also has some skills, I can show him to you."
"Woo?"
The fox turned to look at Lin Jue.
When the knight was wondering, he saw the figure of the fox beside him swell up in the wind. Without a sound, it had grown to be larger than an ordinary mountain tiger, and three more tails sprouted from behind, waving in the wind.
"Xilulu..."
The two horses were suddenly frightened and raised their front hooves.
What a majestic and huge white fox!
Even because its tail is fluffy and waving in the wind, it gives people the illusion that it is not much smaller than a horse!
People not far behind and behind were also shocked.
The knight finally controlled the horse, and then he saw the four-tailed white fox opening its mouth and vomiting.
"boom……"
A canopy of golden flames roared out, the color was like sunlight, hitting the ground and spreading along the ground, the surrounding semi-dry grass was ignited by the fire, and was immediately burned clean.
The knight was shocked again.
Then I couldn't help but wonder, if this fox is so powerful, what skills should the three of them have?
While thinking about it, the fox shrank again, becoming about the same size as a cat, and sat on the same spot, licking its paws while quietly looking at Caili in the arms of the younger junior sister, and secretly looked at Caili's shocked eyes.
"Is this a monster?"
"They are both monsters and gods." Lin Jue replied.
"Dear guest! Come with me!"
The knight had no more doubts and just rode forward.
The fox jumped lightly and walked with him.
The knight glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and there was only a little doubt in his heart, which was what the man said before, whether it was Fuyao or a fox demon. Did he hear it wrong, or did he not learn it well when he learned it.
"Can you talk?"
The knight asked tentatively.
"Several kinds!"
The fox actually answered him, and his voice was clear and sweet, just like the elf in local legend.
"You can really talk!" The knight was surprised, and then asked, "Did you kill Wuermu? Where did you kill him?"
"Come from Yishan!"
"Huh? I said Wuermu!" "I want to go back to the capital!"
"..."
The knight turned his head. The fox was jumping past him and turned to look at him. Even as it jumped, its head was still turning to keep looking at the knight. But it had a serious look on its face. It was serious.
The knight couldn't help but doubt his own situation.
"...How long have you been fighting with Wuermu? Have you seen his wolves and bears?"
"You haven't eaten yet!"
"I...am I wrong?"
"A little thirsty!"
"You...why didn't you answer my question?"
"Huh?" The fox jumped to catch up with him again, equally confused, "Why don't you ask me what I want to answer?"
"I asked first. There were questions first, and then there were answers."
"No, no!" The fox shook his head firmly without hesitation, "I thought of how to answer first!"
"..."
The knight didn't understand, so he could only remain silent.
The customs in the Central Plains are so strange.
It seems that I still have a lot to learn.
Soon they reached the palace in the forest on the mountainside. The knight led them around the place where people prayed below and walked directly up the mountain to the highest palace on the back mountain.
Before he could say anything, a little ghost appeared next to him, pointing forward with a happy face:
"Found it!"
After saying this, he disappeared completely.
"It's right here, Ancestor Qinshan is inside, I'll take you in." The knight was used to seeing this, and said to Lin Jue and the others, and also warned them, "Ancestor Qinshan is our god and elder, you guys
You must respect her when you get inside!"
"good……"
"Stop the horse here, go in! Oh! You can't bring weapons in!"
"..."
The three of them looked at each other and had already expected this.
Luo Monk was the most free and easy. He first hung the long knife on the horse's back without taking off the gun. He even took off the knife he carried with him, hung it on the horse's back, and dismounted alone.
The junior sister also put down her sword.
But she was very clever and picked up the fly whisk. She imitated the appearance of the statues on the Taoist altar and the brush paintings in the past. She held it in her right hand and held it on her left wrist. She also adjusted her posture to look like she should be.
Look, this is the etiquette of a Taoist priest carrying ritual utensils, without squinting.
When the knight saw this, he didn't want to embarrass her.
Lin Jue did not have any weapons, only the mountain spirit's wooden stick in his hand.
The three people, a fox and a cat quickly walked in.
It was really a palace inside, the splendid palace in Lin Jue's dream. There were many maids and guards standing on both sides. The maids were all in their twenties, wearing cool clothes mainly in yellow and white. The guards were all the same as the knights.
He was dressed like a man, but he didn't ride a horse. He held a spear in his hand and a scimitar at his waist.
A middle-aged woman in the front, plump and beautiful, also dressed relatively coolly, was standing and looking at them.
"Taoist Master, are you here?"
The middle-aged woman said with a smile.
"The poor man came as promised and brought back the man's cane as a token." Lin Jue said to her.
"Haha, thank you, Taoist Master, for getting rid of a scourge here! I and the local people will thank you!" The middle-aged woman was very happy and said to Lin Jue, "Please show it to me!"
"OK!"
Lin Jue did not hesitate and moved forward with the wooden stick.
Unfortunately, before he had taken two steps, two guards came over, stretched out their hands, and took the wooden stick from his hand.
The middle-aged woman said: "It's hard to let the Taoist priest go so far, just give it to them."
"good."
This one is quite vigilant.
However, she is not good at fighting, so it is reasonable to be more vigilant.
Just like this, Lin Jue and junior sister Luo Gong had discussed on the road. If Lin Jue could get close to her, junior sister would open the bottle and release the remnant souls of many heroes for the last confirmation. Once it was confirmed that these remnant souls were killed in the palace,
As the murderer, Lin Jue had a mouthful of east wind to help her. When she was not prepared to help, her face was full of flowers. This time it would not work.
"It is indeed a stick of ulwood. He broke it from the tree at the top of the mountain! It feels very warm to the touch!"
The middle-aged woman said, holding a wooden stick and looking at Lin Jue:
"The Taoist Master is indeed very capable! I will give you another 'Chen Niu Talisman' right away! What else does the Taoist Master want? Food, water, meat, gold, silver and jade, you can say whatever you want."
Lin Jue thought for a moment and then said:
"I just want one more thing."
"What?"
"We met some fellow villagers who were killed by the monster on the road. They were fellow villagers of Luo Gong next to me. However, since they have passed the customs here, they can also be regarded as my fellow villagers. They died tragically on the roadside, and naturally they felt unwilling to do so.
The obsession has turned into a remnant soul and will not stop. They show their teeth and claws to everyone they see, and they are very fierce. We want to find a way to make them feel at ease."
While Lin Jue was speaking, the junior sister behind him had already taken out the bottle, as if she wanted to show these remnant souls to the god.
Pull the cork off the bottle and all the remaining souls will come out.
It's just different from before. After these remnant souls came out, when they saw the guards around them, their eyes widened with anger and they rushed towards them crazily.
The guards panicked and came to block him with spears.
The middle-aged woman above was also a little flustered.
The three of them had already made their decision. Seeing this scene, how could they hesitate at all?
What is important is to attack them unprepared and take them by surprise!
Fuyao is the fastest.
Before the middle-aged woman above could recover and say something like, "I don't know how to rest her soul," she saw a four-tailed white fox that was larger than an ordinary mountain tiger appearing in front of her at some point.
, those eyes were bright, staring straight at her.
Then a bloody mouth bit her.
As soon as the middle-aged woman hid behind her, she saw a dazzling light like a summer noon shining out of the bloody mouth.
"boom!"
A canopy of golden flames surged out.
The yin and yang path from the Central Plains, the solar spiritual fire, contains the most yang and the most powerful spiritual power, which immediately brought her great pain.
A handful of beans sprinkled into the sky, like a goddess scattering flowers.
By the time they landed, they had transformed into twelve soldiers. They stepped on the ground with a bang, and without any hesitation, they each faced the enemy.
At the same time, Lin Jue recited a mantra silently.
"Swift..."
A long knife and a long sword flew from outside.
The junior sister had been practicing with Lin Jue for a long time. She raised her hand and took it. Then she held a fly whisk in one hand and a sword in the other and rushed towards the surrounding guards.
Luo Monk, who was highly skilled in martial arts, caught his sword casually. The long sword buzzed in his hand and was instantly unsheathed. At the same time, with a lightning-like kick, he kicked the sword towards the middle-aged woman in front of him.
"ah!!"
A violent scream came out.
Qinshan Ancestor's whole body was on fire, turning into a strong wind, flying back, hitting the scabbard and bouncing back to other places, flying around the palace.
The fox also chased her like the wind.
There were shouts, the sound of weapons and armor clashing, the sound of bowstrings collapsing, the sound of blades slicing through leather and flesh, and screams. Weapons were mingled in a mess, and the wind and sword energy were flying across the hall. For a moment, the hall was in chaos.
