Chapter 391 The Power of Enlightenment
A huge yellow moon rose from the top of the mountain, illuminating the outline of the mountain, the shadows of the pavilions and plank roads on the mountain, and also illuminating the prosperous and dreamy capital city behind it. The streets, alleys and yards were covered with a layer of frost.
The fog is clearly visible under the moon, and the cumulus clouds are outlined with colorful edges.
Looking back, you can see lights from thousands of homes.
If a catastrophe were to come and change the world, I wonder how many lamps would be left.
"call……"
The sound of the wind was a bit harsh.
Lin Jue knew that the Southern Jade Mirror Emperor and the True Mirror Palace would definitely enter the northeast of Qinzhou.
Today, the status of Zhenjian Palace in the hearts of the people in the capital has caught up with that of Guanxing Palace, but it is still secondary in the capital. In the northwest region of Qinzhou today, Zhenjian Palace has long been famous, and most of the people have begun to worship the Southern Jade Mirror Emperor. If the previous event of the Leopard King can be replicated in the northeast of Qinzhou, this place will also become a place of incense for the Jade Mirror Emperor.
In this way, Qinzhou and his men accounted for half.
Qinzhou is the center of the world, and religious culture spreads from here, which is a huge benefit.
They will definitely interfere in human affairs.
The Southern pantheon is very good at business.
But there is nothing to blame. The increase in incense offerings was achieved at the cost of people's lives. It did bring benefits, but it also truly saved people's lives.
The connection between the incense and fire sect and the human world is already close, far better than that of the idle and free immortals. The connection between the talisman sect and the human world is also close, far better than that of the free and easy spiritual sect.
However, Lin Jue is also a human being, and it is difficult for him to remain unmoved when seeing his fellow tribesmen being devoured and slaughtered by monsters.
Master Jiang is right——
No matter how rampant the monsters were, the imperial court would not allow the local people to escape at will.
The gods need people to stay here, pray in times of crisis, and ensure their power. If believers leave, the power of the gods in this place will weaken. The court needs people to defend the land. If there are no people, even if this land is still within the territory of Dajiang, its significance will be reduced. Moreover, this is Qinzhou, the heartland of Dajiang, where the capital is located. The court can neither accept that there is no one to defend this place, nor can it accept such a large demon country around it.
The main battlefield will definitely be between the True Lord and the Demon King.
I don’t know whether the Queen Mother of the East can stop the two True Lords on the earth and in her own territory. Anyway, no matter whether she wins or loses, she will definitely erode the surrounding cities.
Either send out a clone or send out soldiers.
Firstly, the death of believers can weaken the gods. Secondly, it can divert the attention of the gods and the court. Thirdly, it can provide her with nutrients, using war to support war. There are many benefits.
Lin Jue did not go to stop the people, but to find his senior brother and prevent the demon king from eating people again.
If the people leave, he will not dissuade them. If the people stay, he will stay here to protect the area. Even if the people leave empty-handed and he finds his senior brother at the same time, he will stay here to prevent the Demon King from escaping and seek an opportunity to obtain the Earth Spirit Pill.
This is actually the same as it was in Huizhou.
But I was weak at first, and I could only do small things. Now that I have become more advanced, I have to take charge of things on my own.
This is no longer a battle between gods or a matter of the imperial court, but a matter between humans and demons.
……
The capital was in panic and the imperial court was shaken.
The general was awakened from his dream, the military officer was asked to leave the brothel, and the civil officials also hurriedly put on their clothes.
The people of the capital city didn't know what had happened yet and were still singing soft tunes. All they could see was the Taoist priest of Zhenjian Palace with a solemn expression on his face. He came in hurriedly from outside the city and left in a hurry with a solemn expression on his face.
The strange and talented people in Juxian Mansion gathered again.
But this time it's different.
The strange people gathered together, looked around, and the first thing they did was to ask:
"Where is Master Lin?"
"Where is Master Lin?"
"..."
When Master Lin looked back, he could no longer see the capital city.
The huge white fox climbed up the steep slope to the top of Jade Mountain, but its body did not go down. Instead, it moved as light as a feather, stepping on the mist and climbing up into the sky.
A ball of fog carries it, and it won't sink even if it steps on the clouds.
In a trance, it seemed as if I was walking with the moon.
The night wind combed the fox's long, soft hair back, making it tremble. The Taoist sat cross-legged on it, withdrew his gaze, his figure outlined by the bright moon, and he could also see his junior sister below.
There were also two stone horses galloping behind her.
Sometimes the fox also jumped down.
Passing through the barren mountains, he asked questions about animals, birds and monsters.
When they reached the mountains, they saluted the road god.
When he arrived at the dilapidated temple, he asked about the fox ghosts in the temple.
Before we knew it, Ziyun County was approaching.
The bright moon was like a small sun. The earth under the moonlight was covered in frost-white and a city could be seen.
You can also see further into the city.
There are few plants around the city, mostly barren mountains and farmlands. This is normal. Generally, unless the local government specifically orders to protect a certain mountain, the woodcutters will cut down all the mountains near the city, and you can see a lot of plants in the mountains farther away from the city. However, what is strange is that in the city below, there are plants on one side of the mountain, but another side is bare, like a Gobi Desert.
That's further north of the city.
What was even more bizarre was that the weather was sunny today and had been clear all the way here, except for that one area which was covered with dark clouds and not even the moonlight could penetrate.
It was also pitch black below. I could only see what was nearby, not what was far away.
"Boom!"
A huge and dazzling bolt of lightning descended from the clouds. It was unknown how wide it was when it first came out of the clouds. It branched out layer by layer as it moved downwards. When it approached the ground, it had split into thousands of branches, touching the earth directly.
It's like a tree growing upside down.
The earth was thus illuminated, appearing dark gray.
But Lin Jue saw that there was actually a huge tree on the ground. It started to grow from the ground, branching out layer by layer upwards. When it was close to the sky, it had split into thousands of branches that reached the sky.
Lightning bolts connected the branches of the tree.
The two sides seemed to be touching or fighting.
This kind of power does not belong to mortals.
Even the heavens and the earth rarely condense such terrible power.
The fox was originally heading straight over there, but it quickly turned around and stared ahead with wide eyes, as if it was also frightened by this terrifying power.
And it’s more than just this.
Lin Jue also stared blankly ahead.
Is this the power of becoming a true enlightened being?
Before the lightning faded, another True Lord was seen holding a huge spear and splitting the mountain with his strength.
The lightning disappeared and it became dark again. There was fog in the mountains and clouds under the moon.
When he came to his senses, the fox had lowered its altitude, and was walking on the fog instead of the clouds. It was strolling in the mountains and turned its head to stare at him.
"Don't be afraid."
Lin Jue comforted it.
Just at this moment, the fox suddenly accelerated and jumped forward.
Jumped from one cloud of mountain fog to another.
"Fuck!"
It seemed as if an arrow broke through the air, shot dozens of feet high, and flew past them.
Then there was a sound of breaking air.
"Sui Su Su Su..."
Some arrows were so powerful that they not only shot dozens of feet into the air, but also passed through them. Some even had enough force left after passing through and flew to higher places.
Some arrows were not powerful enough and turned and fell before they hit them.
Some arrows were so powerful that their speed completely stopped when they reached the fox and the Taoist priest. It seemed that they really stopped for a moment, so much so that one could almost catch them with a hand.
Lin Jue sat on the fox's back and turned to look.
The moonlight is so bright.
But what kind of arrow is that?
It is clearly a piece of Bombyx batatas leaf.
The hardest and straightest part in the middle was taken and sharpened at the front, like something that ordinary village children used to play with in the fields or by the river.
Lin Jue has played this before.
It was just that the "Ba Mao Arrow" shot by an ordinary child could only fly a dozen feet, which was considered far, and could often help them win in competitions with friends, but this "arrow" flew dozens of feet.
Lin Jue had no doubt about its lethality.
The fox brushed past it and the arrow turned downward.
Lin Jue also withdrew his gaze.
The wind around me suddenly became noisy.
Under the moon, the fox was as light as a feather, jumping in the fog and avoiding the arrows shot from bottom to top.
"Go back to find Junior Sister."
"Hey!"
The fox barked.
Looking down, I saw a Taoist coming towards me.
The stone horse behind him rumbled.
However, since Junior Sister was walking on the ground, without the moon to tell on her, she was not as conspicuous as in the sky, and was not discovered by these monsters for the time being.
The fox suddenly disappeared into a mountain fog.
Taking advantage of the mountain fog, we turned around and headed down.
At this time, all four of its legs were folded up, and its tail was hidden behind it, no longer waving at will. In addition, its pointed beak seemed to have turned into a sharp arrow, just like it usually stabbed into the ground, helping it to dive down at an extremely fast speed.
Lin Jue only felt that the wind made its hair and his own hair fly around wildly, hitting his face and causing pain.
The ground was covered with dense trees and overgrown weeds.
"Use fire!"
Lin Jue shouted.
The fox instantly grew larger, spread its four legs, and its tail changed from one to five, which spread out like a fan or an umbrella. Its entire body instantly changed from a sharp arrow to a ferocious beast, opening its mouth and spitting at the ground.
"call……"
The golden light illuminated the earth, and the flames hit the ground from top to bottom, and then quickly spread along the ground, like a spreading flower.
"Ah!"
Faint cries of pain could be heard from the grass and trees, their voices as small as those of mosquitoes.
The solar spirit fire quickly cleared a space on the ground, and after everything was burned, the flames were mostly extinguished.
The fox landed, tapping the ground with his toes.
Junior sister arrived here almost at the same time.
"Are there monsters?"
The junior sister drew out her whisk with one hand and her sword with the other.
"careful!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of breaking air.
It seemed as if arrows were shot out from the grass and forest.
Lin Jue waved his sleeves and a wall appeared in front of him.
Wall separation technique.
Several "Bamao arrows" suddenly froze in the air.
The junior sister quickly waved her sword and whisk.
"Ding ding ding..."
The sound is surprisingly clear.
She easily blocked several of the arrows shot at her, and as for the remaining one, she did not block it but instead reached out to grab it.
In his left hand he held a whisk and a piece of bamboo grass.
It is really a withered and yellow grass.
"This one……"
The junior sister obviously recognized it as well.
Unless there is no Bamiyan grass growing in the area, there is no child in the village who has not played with it.
Looking around, there are Bamao forests everywhere.
There seemed to be some movement in a clump of reed.
"Rumble..."
Before the arrows from the Bamao bush were shot, two tall stone horses came galloping over, crashing out of the Bamao bush and crushing it.
