Chapter 285 It’s not what it used to be anymore
The two of them and the fox waited at the entrance of the temple for a while until the first person besides them to go up the mountain came.
However, it was not the common people who came to worship the monster, but three Taoists.
In the early morning, the mountain fog had not completely dissipated. Three Taoist priests walked from among the dead branches and weeds. The first thing that caught their eyes was a flash of golden color. They were two Taoist priests wearing yellow robes. One of them even wore a robe.
Wearing a loose Taoist robe, I felt slim and slim, and even looked slimmer. Another person held up the Taoist robe, and behind him was a Taoist wearing a blue deluo, which gradually became clear from blur.
At first glance, they seem strange, but upon closer inspection, they are all acquaintances.
The two Taoists in yellow robes in front are Taoist Priest Jiang and Taoist Qingxuan, while the one behind them in blue robes is Junior Brother Ma.
"Eh? Fellow Taoist Lin Jue? Mr. Luo?"
Taoist Priest Qingxuan spoke first, very unexpectedly.
"Fellow Taoist Lin." Taoist Master Jiang also saluted and said hello, "Long time no see."
"Brother Lin Dao!" Junior Brother Ma saluted.
"Brother Qingxuan, Fellow Daoist Jiang, and Junior Brother Ma." Lin Jue was also surprised, "Why are you here too?"
"In recent days, some women in the capital have been murdered inexplicably, and many of their families have asked us to come to watch. We inquired and found out that it is related to an evil god here. It happened that the Star Observation Palace and Juxian Mansion had been in the past few days.
There was no movement, so I came over to take a look." Taoist Priest Qingxuan looked at them, "Are you here for this too?"
"Same." Lin Jue replied, "Thanks to Friend Jiang's letter of introduction, we are now affiliated with Juxian Mansion. The recent murder of a woman has caused quite a stir in the capital, and there is no one available in Juxian Mansion, so I just came from
My junior sister was pulled over for investigation when she returned to Beijing on Fengshan Mountain."
"We are really destined." Taoist Priest Qingxuan shook his head, "We can meet each other when we are exorcizing demons in Huizhou, and we can also meet each other when exorcizing demons in the capital."
"yes."
Although it was said that they were destined to be together, in fact, neither of them seemed happy at all. Instead, they felt helpless, even to the point of wanting to laugh.
Fortunately, when I was in Huizhou, there were only two famous fairy mountains in Huizhou, one was Qiyun Mountain, one of the four famous mountains of Fulu Sect, and the other was the secluded Yi Mountain. The rest were charlatan wizards and warlocks who encountered slightly more powerful monsters.
, wouldn’t Qi Yunshan and Yishan have to come forward?
It's not surprising that we encountered him.
But I am in the capital at the moment.
There are Star Observation Palace in the capital, Yushan outside, and there are thousands of strange people and strangers in the Juxian Mansion. This is several times more than the Taoist priests of the entire Qiyun Mountain and the Fulu Sect, the Spiritual Law Sect, and even the Danding Sect combined.
Some people who can use it, and even more capable people who want to eliminate demons, will not have their turn to meet here.
"Well, Fellow Daoist Lin is affiliated with Juxian Mansion. Juxian Mansion actually has a capable person in the capital who can use it." Taoist Master Qingxuan sighed and asked, "How is the investigation by Fellow Daoist Lin and Mr. Luo going?
"
"We just arrived not long ago, at most a quarter of an hour before you. We couldn't find any clues or whereabouts of the monster in the temple. We only found that the temple has no name and the statue has no spirit. It seems that it had expected that one day it would be destroyed.
Or you can come to the Star Observation Palace."
Lin Jue said and paused:
"We found two talismans, one eye talisman and one ear talisman. They were quite charming and interesting. However, just when we wanted to use them to talk to the monster, the two talismans were burned."
"Eye talisman? Ear talisman?" Taoist priest Qingxuan himself is a person who worships gods and draws talismans, so he is naturally very keen on this. "The statue of the god is inactive, which proves that it does not absorb the breath of incense and does not follow the incense path. It uses this Two talismans to monitor and monitor the movements in the temple?"
"I guess so too..."
"What does the talisman look like?"
"perhaps……"
Lin Jue gave them a rough description of what the talisman paper looked like. Knowing that they were from the talisman sect, he decided to ask for advice.
"It doesn't sound like an orthodox talisman. It should be a talisman given by a spirit who has the ability to peek and listen, and who is extremely spiritual. It may also be a talisman secretly given by the gods in the sky. The monster borrowed it. The magical ability of this strange spirit." Director Jiang said calmly.
"That one has a bad temper and doesn't want to talk to us." Lin Jue said, "I wonder if people from Juxian Mansion have angered it before."
"Um……"
Taoist Priest Qingxuan nodded repeatedly, looking thoughtful: "Did you two find anything else?"
"No." Lin Jue shook his head, "But Luo Gong believes that it cannot be completely confirmed that it is responsible for this matter."
"Why?"
"First, Luo Gong thought, this monster has been here for a long time, but it has never killed anyone. Second, when this monster takes human oil, it does not matter whether it is a man or a woman, but the victims are all women," Lin Jue said. He laughed and said, "To be honest, we have encountered similar things before and have been fooled once."
"That makes sense." Taoist Priest Qingxuan nodded and said with a smile, "Gong Luo was once a lieutenant of Changning County. He was good at solving crimes back then. Even if it sounds unreasonable, I am willing to believe Gong Luo."
Everyone loves to hear compliments. Standing next to Lin Jue, Mr. Luo couldn't help but raise his hand and clasped fists with him, expressing that he couldn't bear it.
"Listening to what you said before, the monster must have known that you were coming." Dao Zhang Jiang said again, "Some people have come here from Juxian Mansion before to try to make it feel sorry for it. It has never backed away. I guess it is not a weak character. , I guess, it is already on its way here at this time.”
"Yeah?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fox raised his head, stretched his neck, and looked towards the distant mountains and forests.
Everyone also looked over.
I saw deep spring grass and thick white mist. Although I heard some faint rustling, it was difficult to tell whether it was the wind blowing or something coming in this direction.
When several people were on guard, they suddenly saw two tall figures appearing on the right, and they were suddenly shocked.
It was really a green-faced and fanged evil spirit, more than a foot tall, naked to the waist, as strong as an ox, with curved claws and golden hooks, densely packed teeth and sharp swords, and holding a huge steel fork in his hand. And its eyes were like lanterns, flashing with fire, staring directly at a few people, and strode through the woods and grass to run towards them.
Just like two Yaksha ghosts!
When several people suddenly saw them, it was like turning a corner in the forest and suddenly seeing two elephants running towards them, causing a huge psychological impact.
All attention was attracted to them for a moment.
Even the always alert fox is no exception.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a few sounds breaking through the air.
More than a dozen sharp arrows pierced through the grass on the other side and shot towards the crowd.
"Sui Su Su Su..."
The arrow came too quickly and was too hidden, and the attention was all on the two yakshas. By the time Lin Jue reacted, it was already too late to use magic.
Anyway, I hurriedly resorted to the fossil method.
Fortunately, Mr. Luo was standing on his left.
I saw Luo Gong raise the hand holding the knife, move it to the right, turn his wrist, and the scabbard rotates out of the flower again.
Two snaps!
It is difficult to tell whether the Taoist turned to stone first or whether the scabbard touched the arrow first. Everything was just between the lightning and flint. In short, the two flying sharp arrows were stopped by the scabbard one after another. Luo Gong grabbed it with his left hand and then caught it again.
A sharp arrow shot towards himself, the whole process was extremely easy.
The fox next to him also immediately burrowed into the ground.
Then there were a few more jingles.
Lin Jue returned to his human form and glanced out of the corner of his eye——
Taoist Priest Qingxuan and Taoist Jiang were originally mortal bodies, but since they dared to come here, they had already made preparations and had requested golden light amulets in advance. At this moment, golden light suddenly bloomed on their bodies, blocking them from them.
He shot these flying sharp arrows.
"Sui Su Su Su..."
Another burst of arrows came.
This time Lin Jue was prepared.
With a thought in his mind, he waved his sleeves, and a fierce wind blew out, crashing forward like a wall.
More than a dozen arrows shot out quickly and hit the strong wind. They immediately shook violently like willow leaves and withered grass in the wind. They were either knocked back or missed their aim and fell to the ground.
Boom!
The forest on the left and right shook for a while.
The two Yaksha ghosts on the right were running with great strides, knocking branches apart. For a moment, they seemed to be a bit scarier than the Yaksha ghosts Lin Jue had encountered in the Qingdi Temple.
Running from the left were a dozen vine-armored soldiers, all of whom were also smooth and shiny. They all had wolf heads on their heads and were quick to jump over the grass and thorns.
Lin Jue didn't hesitate, stretched out his hand and threw it.
"Wow..."
A piece of beans is sprinkled into the sky and swells in the wind.
Half of them turned into twelve soldiers and landed with a crash, their armors colliding with each other with a neat and heavy sound.
Half of them turned into twelve flying swords, shining brightly and hovering in the air with the spell.
I just made a flying sword, let's try it with you!
"Three fellow Taoists, don't worry, just leave it to me." Lin Jue said, "Master Luo, please protect me."
"Fellow Taoist, can you cope with it?"
Taoist Priest Qingxuan looked around with some fear. He had already pulled out the long sword from his waist, and took out two talismans and clamped them on his fingertips. In his memory, Lin Jue did not have such ability.
"good!"
Luo Monk replied calmly, and with the same sneer, he pulled out the long knife from his waist.
As soon as the long sword was unsheathed, there was a burst of strong evil energy. Even Taoist Priest Qingxuan, who was not a Taoist, felt a chill and his hair stood on end.
He turned his head and looked at Mr. Luo, then looked left and right.
I saw a group of armored soldiers rushing towards the left. Some were holding knives, some were holding swords, and some were holding spears. They collided directly with the group of vine-armored soldiers. However, the collision between the two sides was obviously
It can be seen that whether it is the size, strength or the solid and heavy weight of the armor, the bean soldiers are superior——
Some of the vine-armored soldiers were stabbed through, some were knocked away directly, and some had half of their bodies cut off with a knife. The archers from both sides shot at each other. In just a moment, the battle became extremely fierce.
Another arrow shot at Lin Jue, but Luo Gong easily blocked it.
Suddenly, Taoist Priest Qingxuan's pupils shrank, and when he saw a vine-armored soldier with half of his body cut off, his body suddenly shrank, and he seemed to have become a cut-out paper man.
On the right, the two Yaksha ghosts as big as cattle, one behind the other, were already running closer with steel forks in their hands. Looking at their ferocious faces and their indomitable momentum, even gods would have to retreat.
"The yaksha doesn't come out during the day. This yaksha is weird. Fellow Taoist, please be careful." Taoist priest Jiang reminded from the side.
But all I heard was a spell.
Along with the spell, there was a sound of breaking through the air.
The twelve flying swords were divided into two parts, and four of them were shot quickly, directly piercing the eyes of the Yaksha ghost in front, faster than the arrows, while the remaining eight were spinning continuously in the air, the blades reflecting the morning light, and the Yaksha ghost shot from the
It sliced past his side and neck.
"laugh……"
How sharp is the rebuilt flying sword? The power and speed of the method of controlling objects are also a bit stronger!
I didn't hear roars or wailing for a while, but I saw that the eyes of the Yaksha ghost were directly pierced by the flying swords, and the body was also continuously cut with wounds by the flying swords, but no blood flowed out.
After just two steps forward, the yaksha ghost fell to the ground.
At first, it kept the weight of its body, fell to the ground and slid forward, flattening the grass in the mountains and pushing away the soil. But after sliding out for a while, it lost its weight and turned into a huge piece of paper.
The flying sword pierced on its body also fell to the ground.
Lin Jue looked at this scene, his eyes slightly condensed, and he kept chanting curses in his mouth, but with just a thought, all the flying swords turned their direction, and even the flying swords that fell on the ground immediately flew up again, towards the back.
The one still didn't know fear and still shot at the Yaksha who was running toward him.
At the same time, another voice came from beside me:
"This is the paper man's method. They are afraid of water and fire. Fellow Taoists can try to use fire magic to deal with them."
It was also the voice of Director Jiang.
Lin Jue did not spit out fire, but breathed out a breath.
"call……"
It's like a gust of east wind, just in time for this time of year.
The huge Yaksha had no way to avoid it and collided with the east wind. However, facing this blow, it not only had no ability to dodge, but also had no power to resist at all. In the blink of an eye, its body was covered with flowers.
Lin Jue thought to himself and sure enough——
Since this Yaksha is made of paper, it is the same as the mountain stone giant summoned by the "Method of Gathering Stones to Become a General". It is a body transformed by condensing mana, and the flower blooming instantly has a miraculous effect on breaking the mana.
It is also the nemesis of this type of spell.
On the contrary, the fox listened to Director Jiang's words and spit out a mouthful of true sun fire. Although it hurt Yaksha a little, it was not as big as expected, which made Director Jiang frown.
In the end, this Yaksha only ran two steps further than the one in front of him before he could no longer hold on. When he was still a few feet away from Lin Jue, his body began to fall forward. The only difference was that the flower blossoms were pulled out in advance.
The magic power on it was gone, and before it fell to the ground, it turned back into paper.
The bean soldiers on the other side were also extremely ferocious. With the help of the fox, they quickly killed all the vine armor soldiers.
The battle was over in just a few moments.
"Paper Yaksha? Paper Soldier General?"
Lin Jue frowned and thought, and with just a wave of his hand, all the flying swords flew back, turned into beans, and fell back into his hand.
After this sword test, he was still satisfied with the combat effectiveness of the new flying sword.
"Yes, this is the paper man's method." Dao Zhang Jiang said, obviously well-informed, "There are many such spells, this should be the paper man soldier general and paper yaksha method, the soldiers transformed by this kind of magic
Generals and Yakshas can be as tall, strong and powerful as normal generals and real Yakshas, but there are
One shortcoming is that he is afraid of water and fire. Normally, not to mention spiritual fire, even ordinary fire can burn a powerful Yaksha to ashes. If this weakness is not known, a team of elite soldiers will not be able to deal with a Yaksha, but
If you knew, it would be very simple. But I don't know why these are not afraid of fire."
"As strong as a real Yasha?"
When Lin Jue heard this sentence, he felt a little dazed.
Back in the Qingdi Temple, he and his junior sister encountered the Yaksha attacking them. They spent a lot of energy and were in danger after danger before defeating it. But now that two Yakshas were attacking at the same time, he had not yet used their fear of water and fire.
With this weakness, they were easily defeated.
They didn't even get close to me.
"Oh……"
Chapter completed!
