Chapter 438 You have failed my help (Thanks to the leader of "Young Yucao")
The sun rose higher and higher, and the sky became brighter and brighter.
Lin Jue's body was getting warmer and warmer.
The morning sun shone through the light, casting its warmth on his body.
This morning's sunrise ends here.
The sound of wind, waves, and seagulls was pleasant to the ears. The birds flying over the coast and the fish jumping up from time to time in the distance brought him this coast full of vitality.
The Taoist priest was still sitting on the top of the mountain facing the sun, his robes clean and spotless, his cheeks reflecting the sun.
He is practicing and gaining enlightenment.
The ray of morning glow that will be put into the bottle in the future will be used in refining the golden elixir in the future, but the ray that is shining on his face now, the ray that he has realized in his heart, belongs to him now.
The fox stood up beside him, with its two hind feet on the ground, a serious look on its face, one front paw on his shoulder and the other front paw constantly fiddling with his ears.
The fox didn't care about the Taoist's practice, and the Taoist didn't care about it either.
It was not until noon that Lin Jue opened his eyes.
The coast at this time is full of vitality.
"what are you doing?"
A helpless voice sounded.
The fox immediately retracted his claws and replied, "Your ears will light up! It's fun!"
"How can ears glow?"
"When the sun shines, it shines! Red!"
“It’s translucent!”
"It's light-transmissive! So fun! It moves when you turn it!"
"Whose ears are twitching and not moving?"
Lin Jue reached out and flicked its ears.
The fox stood still, without turning its head to avoid, but stared at him seriously. Only when his hand reached above its head did it suddenly turn its ears inward.
Lin Jue dialed the number but missed.
The fox immediately narrowed his eyes and smiled triumphantly.
Lin Jue also laughed.
At this time, there were traces of people at the foot of the mountain.
But they were not fishermen on the seaside, but soldiers, half of whom were wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, and half of whom were bare-chested and carrying shovels, hoes and some tools. They patrolled along the coast, but stayed far away from the seaside, occasionally going to check some potholes and traps on the seaside.
The fox also stretched his neck to look.
The man and the fox then discovered that these soldiers had set many traps on the beach, large and small, and they didn't know how they were designed.
But at this moment, it seems that there are no sirens in these traps.
However, these traps are limited in size. Even if they can catch the sea monsters, they can only catch some small monsters. Monsters of the level of Sea Yaksha or the Yellow Scale Guards, Shrimp Generals, and Crab Warriors under the Alligator King by the Weishui River should be difficult to catch. Even if they are trapped, they cannot be killed, and there will still be a fight when the soldiers come the next day.
As for the 24-foot-long sea monster we heard about yesterday, let alone whether this trap would work, it was far from enough to fit its body, not even a leg or a foot.
These soldiers came from the north, walked along the coast, and headed south. They came from the end of Lin Jue's left vision and walked to the end of the right. They walked farther and farther in the water vapor of the coast and soon disappeared.
It was almost afternoon by then.
Eat something and enjoy the fresh air, carve some wood carvings to sacrifice to the bean soldiers, and comprehend some magic. Then the sun sets again. I take a nap under the setting moon and moving stars, and it is already the early morning again.
The east was once again glowing with light.
Yesterday, there were few clouds in the sky, and the water vapor was insufficient to contain too much of the morning sun, so the glow was somewhat less beautiful. Today, there are many clouds and the water vapor is heavy, but too much and too heavy, so the sunlight is blocked, and the morning sun can hardly come out, so naturally, the magnificent and grand morning glow cannot be seen.
But I saw the group of soldiers again, like small beans on the beach.
This time there was an additional person dressed as a captain.
The soldiers were still walking along the coastline from north to south, checking and repairing traps, stopping and starting, and looking out at the sky and the sea from time to time. Lin Jue seemed to be able to feel their sorrow even from a long distance away.
The sun rises and sets, the moon sets and the stars move.
The third day was a cloudy day with no sunrise.
The soldiers walked slower.
On the fourth night, there was no sunset or stars, but it started raining.
The soldiers marched regardless of weather conditions.
There are unexpected changes in the weather and the moon waxes and wanes. The weather at the seaside in summer is even more unpredictable. It is not easy to see the sunrise and the morning glow. If you want to wait for it, wind, fog and rain are the norm on this road.
Lin Jue has been practicing Taoism for so long now, and has absorbed a lot of spiritual energy. He is no longer afraid of getting wet in the rain or catching a cold, so he is too lazy to go back to the city, or even to leave this Forehead Mountain. He simply sits on the top of the mountain, watching the soldiers and captains coming and going on the beach, the sometimes calm and sometimes turbulent waves, and the ever-changing winds and clouds. He meditates, practices, and carves out his insights, and counts the scenery waiting on the road as a part of it.
On the tenth day, it was another sunny day.
These soldiers and captains finally caught a sea monster in the trap below. It was a shrimp monster with low skills. It looked quite strange and was different from the Black Shrimp General under the Alligator King by the Weishui River.
The soldiers were well-trained but not very courageous. When they saw the monster, they shouted and ran away. After a while, some people surrounded it, with shields in front and spears following behind. Some archers and crossbowmen shot arrows at the monster in the gaps. It took a lot of time and effort to shoot it to death on the beach.
Lin Jue was watching from the top of the mountain.
There is a bean in front of him, which can be thrown down with the wind at any time. To deal with this little monster, any bean soldier is enough.
Seeing that he had defeated the sea monster, Lin Jue shook his head and put away the beans.
If it was a small shrimp monster like this, the warriors under Luo Gong who were used to fighting monsters and demons would most likely come on horseback and chop off its head with a single blow of their swords. If it was the soldiers led by Luo Gong, they would definitely quickly form a formation and kill it, without wasting so much effort.
After all, there were dozens of people below, half of them were wearing armor and holding weapons, so it should be very easy to kill a small demon. Even three or five armored soldiers were enough to deal with it.
Lin Jue took out the spiritual wood and continued carving.
The first bean soldier carved from the fragments of the Queen Mother of the East had already been sacrificed and refined. Although it was time-consuming and laborious, the results it brought far exceeded Lin Jue's expectations.
Originally, it was thought that this was a newly carved bean soldier, and it had not undergone a long period of sacrifice and refinement, so its strength should be weaker than the original one. However, it was unexpected that the demon king who had achieved enlightenment had already become extraordinary. Relying on the extraordinary vitality and spiritual charm of the spiritual wood, the first bean soldier had almost the same power as before as soon as it was refined.
That was one of the three most powerful bean soldiers that Lin Jue had at the beginning, besides Long Bo!
In addition, this bean soldier is much more agile than before, and even his eyeballs can move like he did in life. In terms of combat power, he is even stronger when the strength is equal.
So Lin Jue did not hesitate and carved two more statues with the fragments of the Queen Mother of the East's body, and also found new homes for the two remaining heroes who had followed him the earliest.
There are now three immortal bean soldiers.
Lin Jue planned to do the rest when he had more time in the future.
What are you carving at this moment?
"rustle……"
The fox bent over, stretched, and yawned, and stood at the edge of the cliff, watching the soldiers and the mermaid walk away. When they were out of sight, he came back to look at the Taoist carving.
I saw the small sword scraping the wood, and fine wood powder fell off and drifted away with the wind. The wood had revealed the figure of a tall and thin person.
"They're gone!"
The fox said as he looked at it.
"Ah."
"The pink powder was taken away by the wind!"
"Ah."
"wasted!"
"Only a little bit."
"wasted!"
"Know……"
Lin Jue patiently continued carving.
……
The sun rises and sets, and another day has passed.
Today's sunrise is not good enough.
There were more soldiers below, and there was a general and a military advisor in the middle.
"Is this where you caught the shrimp monster yesterday?" The general was in his prime, but there was worry between his brows.
"Reply General! Exactly!"
"It's strange. For such a long time, these traps haven't caught the sea monster, but they caught it here." The general said, looking at the military advisor beside him, "Didn't you say that this general's plan is not good, and these traps can't catch the sea monsters?"
"I think that's true. The reason these sea monsters came ashore to cause trouble is that they want to eat humans. It is said that humans have the most vitality and spirit, and eating humans is most helpful to the growth of Taoism. Although the general's trap is good, it must be baited with humans to work, but this is obviously not possible. The general used ordinary livestock and flesh as bait. Think about it, these things have become spirits. The products in the sea are better than those on land. They have endless flesh and blood in the sea, so why do they have to come ashore to get them? They should be much smarter than ordinary fish and shrimps."
"Then why is this?"
"Do you want to change your taste?"
"Military advisor, please stop talking nonsense!" the general urged anxiously, "Think of a solution quickly! There is only half a month left. If we can't get rid of the monster and restore sea transportation, the King of Yue will chop off my head!"
"This……"
The military advisor was also in a dilemma for a moment.
The biggest sea monster caused trouble in Shimo Village yesterday. The general couldn't get rid of it. Is it just that he couldn't find it?
Just then, the weather suddenly changed.
There was a slight chill in the morning breeze.
In the distance, a wave rolled in the sea, hitting the shore and almost touching the feet of the general and the soldiers.
But just a moment ago, the farthest distance the waves had washed away was as far as seven or eight feet away from here.
The general immediately realized that something was wrong.
Turning my head, I saw——
For some reason, there was a dark color in the sea, and then the sea water suddenly bulged up and fell like a waterfall. A giant turtle covered in black appeared from the ocean and crawled towards the shore.
Its head and tail together were almost 20 to 30 feet long, and it just lay there like a small hill.
"This……"
The general was immediately shocked.
Many soldiers and captains were also frightened.
Seeing the giant turtle come ashore, raise its head to sniff the air, and then rush towards them, the group of soldiers, although they were numerous and powerful, and carried kerosene, poison, giant hooks, and javelins, did not use any of them. Instead, starting with the general, they fled in all directions without a second thought.
But in a moment, they disappeared.
Only the military advisor was thinking in his heart -
What's going on in this place? Why was the shrimp monster caught here yesterday, and why did this giant turtle also come ashore here today?
