In the late twelfth lunar month, there is the fragrance of plum blossoms at night.
Lin Jue was lying on the bed sleeping peacefully.
The fox is lying on the futon at the end of the bed, close to the window, so that it can be alert to the movement outside and protect its Taoist priest.
The wind howled outside and the lights in the house were dim.
The fox was lying still, but the tips of its fur seemed to be trembling a little. Then its ears twitched, and it couldn't help but raise its head, look around, and listen quietly outside the courtyard.
There was no movement.
The fox's eyes were clear, and he looked at the table and the bed. He saw that the night watch lamp on the table was not moving, and the Taoist on the bed was breathing evenly. His eyes became fierce again, and he lay down and continued to sleep.
But I never thought that Taoists would dream of meeting gods.
It was a land of emerald blue mountains, like morning and dusk. The mountains were stacked one on top of another, the shadows were blue, the mountains and rivers were thousands of miles away, and the scenery was infinite.
A white cloud carried dozens of heavenly soldiers, the evil bandits whom we had seen three months ago, and two god generals, the Furious Thieves, each stepping on a golden wheel. With anger on their brows, they wanted to question Lin Jue.
I want to ask questions, but I don’t know how to ask.
So he had no choice but to stare at Lin Jue with his eyes wide open.
"Heh-"
How could Lin Jue not know why they came?
Why cover up in the dream? Looking at their aggrieved look, Lin Jue wanted to laugh, as if the three months of waiting had become more worthwhile.
But he had to ask:
"I am sleeping soundly in the small courtyard in the middle of the capital. Two gods will visit me late at night and weave dreams for me. What are they doing?"
Lin Jue looked relaxed and happy, and seemed to be sleeping soundly.
"snort!"
The angry thief general groaned, and thunder exploded between the sky and the earth. The green mountains in front of him were originally sunny, but suddenly dark clouds rolled up, and wind and thunder broke out.
"What is going on, God?"
"Pretend to be crazy! What did you do in Leopard Spring a few days ago? You don't know?"
"A few days ago? Leopard Spring? Oh!" Lin Jue suddenly realized, "I was exterminating demons in Leopard Spring before. Thanks to the golden power in the hands of the god general, I killed the leopard demon. After the demon king was eliminated, I felt happy in my heart, so I
Baoquan devoted himself to practice for a period of time, using the blessed land of cave and heaven to increase his Taoism.
The aura of Leopard Spring nourishes the soul. But I never thought that one night, a monster came. Looking at it, it looked a bit like the demon king who had lost his soul in Jinxia. I wonder if it managed to escape.
, it was another monster pretending to be one, so I got rid of it easily."
He paused for a moment:
"Why did God invite me to see the scenery in my dream for no reason? It turns out that just like in Cuiwei County, he came to thank me for my work in exorcising demons!"
"snort!"
"?Isn't it? Why does the god general look so ugly? Do you want to take out his anger on me because he is here to slay the demon?"
The angry thief god general had nothing to say and just stared at him coldly.
Lin Jue knew that although the nine gods were currently fighting and the True Lord had fallen, the system of gods was still intact.
Just like how the spirit leopard causing trouble in the lower realm under the guardian sage True Lord was also carried out in secret. If the leopard was not in danger, the true Lord would never show up and never admit that it is related to him. At most, he would provide some spells and other tools in the dark.
Just like if they wanted to bring back the leopard, they had to find a different reason. In the end, they also had to find a trick to get by on the outside.
After all, he is a god.
As Director Jiang said, at least it hasn't reached that point yet.
The Leopard King had indeed made trouble, and no one could say anything if he beat it to death. What's more, they killed the leopard with their own hands, so how could he beat it to death again?
In the dream, Lin Jue smiled brightly, while the general looked gloomy.
I saw the angry thief god general retreating, and then another evil thief god general stepped forward.
This god will smile:
"The Master misunderstood. We didn't talk about this."
"oh?""
"A few days ago, when we were cleaning up the Demon King's cave, we found a secret cave. There were supposed to be some treasures in it, but they were missing. I don't know where they went?"
"The demon king has been causing trouble for a long time and has caused countless harm to people. He has indeed looted a lot of treasures, but we removed them, so naturally they are considered our spoils. Why does the general ask this?" Lin Jue still smiled at him.
They replied that he already knew the thoughts and methods of these gods very well, and it was not feasible to use this to attack me.
"It's not those." The evil bandit god general still smiled, "Didn't you tell the mage before that the monster escaped from the lower world by pretending to be a leopard under the True Lord? Before it escaped from the lower world, it also stole from the True Lord's treasure house.
I have found two magic scriptures that Zhenjun is good at, and we have been looking for them in the lower world for a long time, but we have not found them. After all, they are magical things. Zhenjun is also pressing hard. I wonder if they are here with the Taoist Master?"
"This..."
Some thoughts flashed through Lin Jue's mind.
Do you want to make yourself lie and lose the conversation?
Lin Jue had heard some stories and legends in the capital about "being punished for deceiving the gods, or being punished after death, or canceling out some good deeds during life." However, most of these stories have educational and restraint significance, and the purpose is to make people
People don't lie, especially they dare not lie in front of the gods. It is difficult to judge whether it is true or just made up by people. It is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
If you don’t lie...
Want to cause trouble for yourself?
Or do you want to make yourself unhappy or even sick because of this? Let yourself learn two less powerful spells?
The two god generals looked at him.
But the Taoist still smiled:
"I have indeed seen two scriptures. Don't be impatient, General God. When you wake up in the daytime tomorrow, I will go to Zhenjian Palace and place them in front of the statue of Zhenjun."
The two gods faced each other.
Only the Taoist stood here, relaxed and fearless, admiring the open scenery here, and the God General's aggrieved and helpless expression.
Dreams and reality don't seem to exist in the same world. If you don't remember it deliberately, the things in the dream will quickly fade away after you wake up. Lin Jue can't quite remember last night's dream.
I only remember that I was relaxed and happy in my dreams.
The two god generals were afraid of being punished by the True Lord, but there was nothing they could do against him. Even if he was rarely arrogant, they could only leave him with the words "take care of yourself" and retreat from his dream.
However, if you think about it carefully, the relationship between this leopard and the Holy Protector is really extraordinary.
Lin Jue and Pan Gong, Fan Tianshi and Nan Tianshi discussed things like the Protector of the Holy Lord and the Leopard Demon. If you look carefully at history, it actually happened a lot.
The Shinto is bound, immortality is boring, and the gods will also fall. What's more, the true king is a god of martial arts, and martial arts are forbidden. The average virtue is lower than that of other incense and civilian gods. In particular, there are some true kings who have become immortals themselves.
Being recruited into a god because of his powerful force is not a god at all. There is no requirement of virtue from the beginning to the end. It is really difficult to say whether one has high or low virtue.
However, this kind of thing is quite easy to be counterattacked.
This is all because ferocious beasts are good at fighting and fighting. If they really achieve Taoism, in troubled times, as long as they lose their bottom line and it is easy to make rapid progress in Taoism, they may escape from the control of gods.
Some martial gods have been pampered for a long time, and when their mounts come up, they may not be able to defeat them.
The Lord Protector of Saints dares to do this. I think he has a reason to believe in the leopard demon. Just like the leopard demon believed in him, he still dares to send a general to find him...
Maybe the relationship between the Holy Lord Protector and the leopard demon is really unusual, maybe it's like the relationship between himself and his own Fuyao.
If one day my family becomes prosperous...
Fortunately, I taught Fuyao well.
In short, you should be more careful in your actions from now on, and don't let them catch you and find a reason.
During this period, let’s go back to the mountains to take shelter.
"ah-...."
Lin felt refreshed and walked out of the house.
Fireworks have been set off in the kitchen house.
A colorful raccoon cat appeared at the door, its body covered by the threshold, with only its head exposed. It stared straight at them with a serious look on its face, as if asking them why they were up now.
To be continued...
