Chapter 390 I just want to find my third brother as soon as possible
"Hey?"
The fox suddenly turned his head and looked outside.
Everyone looked outside as well.
Soon, footsteps were heard outside the door.
"Is Daoist friend here?"
It was Master Jiang’s voice.
Hearing the voice, the fox immediately turned around and jumped onto the wall of the courtyard, looking down, and as the person approached, his head lowered lower and lower.
This is a welcome and approval for them.
A group of Taoists walked into the round gate and entered the courtyard.
Taoist Priest Jiang, Taoist Priest Qingxuan, Junior Brother Ma, and a dozen Taoist priests from the Zhenjian Palace, followed by two middle-aged Taoist priests whose robes were made of obviously different fabrics, their bodies as emaciated as mummies.
Taoist Jiang kept walking and glanced around, sweeping over the alchemy furnace and the bucket full of spiritual gold in the courtyard, sweeping over the shocked and angry Master Fan, and Lin Jue who had a heavy face and a frown on his face. With her intelligence, she immediately understood that they already knew about this.
"It seems that you already know." Daoist Master Jiang looked at Master Fan, "You are really well-informed."
“It’s not me.” Tianshi Fan shook his head, “Daoyou Lin’s news came before mine.”
"Ok?"
Master Jiang was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything, she just continued:
"I'm afraid it's not just Yunmeng County's Eastern Queen Mother's matter. According to the information we received, the northern military garrison may take this opportunity to accuse the court and the king, and then find a reason to march south within a month."
"That's a human matter. Maybe you fellow Taoists have reasons to intervene, but I can't find them." Lin Jue shook his head and said, "I'm not even an immortal, nor a god, so I can't take care of so many things."
"Then let's talk about the demon world."
Taoist Jiang still didn't seem surprised. He just turned around and glanced at Taoist Qingxuan, who was better at speaking than him.
"Although the Queen Mother of the East has the ability to live forever and has already achieved enlightenment, it is said that she is about to face a great catastrophe, so she is taking advantage of the chaotic times to preach, hoping to avoid this great catastrophe by relying on the power of incense. This is something that the Nine Heavens Gods and Tian Weng cannot tolerate. Moreover, everyone knows that a great change is imminent in the world, and Tian Weng will not allow such a thorn to appear beside him at such a critical moment.
“Therefore, the two True Lords under Tian Weng, Guardian of the Saint and Protector of the Saint, had already planned to eliminate him.
"But the Queen Mother of the East seemed to have anticipated this encirclement and suppression, and seemed to have known about it from somewhere else. She planned this catastrophe in advance, stirring up the storm, and she escaped calmly from the pursuit of the True Lord."
Taoist Qingxuan quickly recounted what he knew.
After listening to this, Lin Jue understood a little, but he had more doubts in his mind:
"What catastrophe?"
"Everyone has tribulations, be it illness or disaster, long-term brewing or sudden accidents. It is said that the immortals are the same, only the gods of the incense and fire have the least tribulations, but fellow Taoists have also seen that the tribulations of the gods are in the changes and incense of this world, and not everyone can survive." Taoist Qingxuan said, "As for what the tribulations look like, everyone is different, and no one knows. All we know is that each level is more difficult than the last."
"I see……"
Lin Jue murmured, and then quickly asked, "It sounds like the Queen Mother of the East is very powerful?"
"She is indeed powerful, and now it seems that she is even more powerful than we thought." Taoist Qingxuan said, "Before, there were rumors all over the world that the Queen Mother of the East had truly attained enlightenment, and many people believed it. But this is exactly the trick used by the Queen Mother of the East, because she didn't want to deceive people like us, but we believed in this and became one of her bases for deceiving the gods. The Nine Heavens Gods have seen far more than ordinary people, and most of them believe that she has not truly attained enlightenment. The rumor that 'the Queen Mother of the East has truly attained enlightenment' is just a lie."
"Is it dark under the lamp?"
"It's more complicated." Taoist Qingxuan said, "But even those gods who thought she had already achieved enlightenment did not expect that she had achieved enlightenment even earlier and with greater abilities. It's just that she was too low-key and too good at deceiving others before."
"What kind of monster is she? What magical powers does she have?"
"It is a tree of immortality that has become a spirit. Legend has it that the tree of immortality is full of vitality, difficult to be injured or killed, and can live for ten thousand years, but at the cost of withering of the surrounding areas. The bigger the tree, the wider the wasteland. In addition to immortality, it is said that it also has the method of splitting and the magical power of being difficult to die that all grass and wood demons have. Now it seems that it also has this great array of swallowing the sun."
"Swallowing Sun Formation?"
"This is the disaster of Yunmeng County."
"So it's a formation?"
Lin Jue said this, and quickly looked at the two Taoist priests with haggard figures behind them:
"What did the two Taoist priests encounter in Yunmeng County?"
"We were stationed in Yunmeng County at that time, fighting with the 'divine messengers' and 'heavenly soldiers and generals' of the Queen Mother of the East every day. After the New Year, the vegetation in the city suddenly grew a lot more luxuriantly. Sometimes some tough tree roots would appear in the ground or in the walls. We grew again. We didn't think much of it at the time, we just fought with it. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, a bead suddenly broke out of the ground and flew up to the sky. With a bang, the entire Yunmeng County sank into the ground."
Taoist Master Yushan spoke in a weak voice, and was afraid when he spoke:
"The entire city sank into the ground, and underneath it were dense tree roots. There was also a mist spreading over. If anyone came into contact with the mist, they would lose consciousness, and if they were pierced by the tree roots, they would be sucked dry.
“Fortunately, we brought the precious jade tablet from the temple, so we were able to escape from that place.
"Other Taoist friends...
"Anyway, no one was spared, and all became food for the monster..."
Taoist Master Yushan stood shaky but strong.
"bead?"
"A khaki bead."
Lin Jue recognized that he was the Taoist priest who had come out to fight with Master Dazu in the palace.
"What's the situation there at this time?"
"The two True Lords, Protector of the Saint and Protector of the Saint, are following orders to suppress the monsters." This was said by Taoist Master Jiang.
"Fellow Taoists, you came here probably because you don't believe that the two True Lords can get rid of this monster?" Lin Jue quickly thought of this.
"It's hard to get rid of the big demons of plants and trees. The Queen Mother of the East has been entrenched here for many years. She must be sure to come out and cause trouble at this time. Not to mention the two True Lords, I'm afraid even if the Fuchi Divine Lord from the north comes here, he may not be able to kill her completely." Taoist Master Jiang was still calm, his tone was cold, "It's just that the Queen Mother of the East is too powerful, and Daoist friend has not yet achieved true enlightenment, so he will definitely not be able to compete with her. Secondly, there are two True Lords under Tianweng who have been ordered to eliminate the demons and fight against her. Daoist friend must not and does not need to confront her head-on."
After listening to this, Lin Jue looked at his junior sister again.
Then he bowed to Master Jiang and said, "Thank you for your concern, but we have decided to go to the Northeast. My senior brother is there right now."
"I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. I came here not just to dissuade you from going and becoming enemies..." Daoist Master Jiang pursed his lips, his expression indifferent:
"This is destined to be a battlefield for the True Lords and the Immortals. However, regardless of whether the two True Lords can eliminate it, this kind of demon king is just like the Corpse Tiger King in Huizhou. The battlefield is definitely not limited to the Queen Mother of the East and the True Lords. Moreover, the people in the counties surrounding Yunmeng County have long been in panic. The court will definitely not let the people leave and turn the northeast of Qinzhou into an empty city demon country. We must also guard against the recurrence of Yunmeng County and prevent it from turning the people in other cities into nutrients. Therefore, we need masters who are good at fighting to go and guard."
"Just like Huizhou in the past?"
"Ah."
Daoist Master Jiang was originally speaking briefly, but he couldn't help but say more:
"Those who have achieved enlightenment are not ordinary people. The Queen Mother of the East may not be as fierce and powerful as the Corpse Tiger King, but she has deeper roots in this land and is more tenacious. This battle will definitely be longer than the previous one. Sitting in one place is completely different from going down the mountain to suppress monsters. Not only is it more dangerous, but there must be other changes in the middle. In addition, the Queen Mother of the East has the method of splitting herself into two bodies. Daoist friends have not yet achieved enlightenment, so please think twice."
After listening to this, Lin Jue still looked at his junior sister.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "I will have to wait until the Queen Mother of the East is executed before I seek a way to achieve the truth."
The junior sister looked serious and didn't say much.
But the way she looked had made her position clear.
"Fellow Daoist, have you made up your mind?"
"How many places?"
"The Queen Mother of the East has taken root in Modu Mountain. It is said that the two True Lords have trapped her there. If she wants to go out, she will be in the four places of Letian, Boyu, Jiguang, and Ziyun."
"Let's go to Ziyun County!"
Lin Jue spoke without hesitation.
"Ziyun is closest to her."
"That's even more important!"
"Um……"
Taoist Priest Jiang nodded without saying anything more.
Taoist Qingxuan said: "The Queen Mother of the East is not only a monster, but also a 'god' in the hearts of the people there. In addition to the monster soldiers and monster generals, there are also many believers. Now most of them are no different from the rebels. The court will probably send troops there first, and Taoist friends can go with them."
"We have to go first."
"You are so sincere, this is fine." Taoist Qingxuan bowed to him solemnly, "The people of Ziyun and even Qinzhou will be grateful to you."
"How about the fellow Taoists?"
Lin Jue looked at the Taoists in Zhenjian Palace again.
"Although this is a matter of Qinzhou, and although the two True Lords, Protector Saint and Protector Saint, have been ordered to eliminate the demon, they cannot take care of it all. We have to pick a city to take charge of it, lest the Queen Mother of the East wants to escape, or to create chaos, or to weaken the gods, or to absorb nutrients, and then pick another city to attack."
"Let's go to Boyu."
Daoist Jiang said calmly: "It's next to Ziyun."
Lin Jue also nodded and presented a Chen Niu Talisman: "If there is a crisis, please communicate with each other in time."
"it is good!"
Taoist Jiang took it without hesitation.
Then he turned around and left without stopping.
Many Taoists followed her.
At the same time, the junior sister had torn off a piece of thick cloth and poured out the water in the bucket, leaving only a bucket of spiritual gold pills. She cast a spell to burn them dry, then poured them into the thick cloth and wrapped them up.
"Thank you, junior sister."
Lin Jue put it into a cloth bag.
I just got home and haven't unpacked my luggage yet, so now is the perfect time, there's no need to even pack.
However, Lin Jue still wrote two letters.
"Daoyou Bai Lu? Do you still remember where the Taoist temples of Senior Brothers Four and Seven are?"
"Gah..."
"Great." Lin Jue put the letter into the small bag specially made for Bai Lu, and also put two Chen Niu talismans that he made on the spot, and said, "Please ask Daoist Bai Lu to take the letter back for me, so that my senior brother can know that we have already set off for Ziyun County."
"Gah!"
"Thank you."
"Puff puff..."
The egret spread its wings and flew into the sky at night.
The figure is still elegant and graceful.
"Brother, your egret has flown away, and your speed skills are not as good as mine. Why don't you become smaller? I'll put you in my bag and take you away."
"No need, I have Fuyao to carry me."
"Oh……"
The junior sister nodded, seeming a little regretful.
Then the little sister was still carrying the bag, running quickly in the streets at night, while Lin Jue became smaller and rode on the back of the fox, jumping lightly on the roofs and walls of the capital city.
They didn't even wait for Wan Xinrong and others.
Lin Jue just wanted to meet his third senior brother as soon as possible.
