Chapter 127: Bearing the Blue Sky, Absolute Cloud Qi
His eyes were full of blazing light, his ears were full of roaring, and his nose was full of burning stench.
I don't know how long it took.
Li Changan regained consciousness after feeling dizzy, and then he was surprised to find that he had fallen into the muddy water.
The brown and red sewage was surging, with some black scum floating on it, which was almost below the waistline. He was stunned for a while, and then finally made a move, picked up the sword from his hand, and stood up unsteadily.
At this moment, the roaring in my ears eased slightly, and I could hear the continuous thunder in the distance, and the arrogant roar of the old man behind me:
"The sky thunder is faint, the land mines are booming. The dragon thunder rolls into the water, the water thunder ripples. The society orders the fire and thunder, and the thunderbolts cross..."
Thunder?
What about the success of the Dharma altar?
The Taoist priest looked around blankly, but saw that on the battlefield, the remaining soldiers were struggling to get up from the mud. Around them, in the turbid sewage, there were broken fences, broken weapons, corpses with incomplete robes, and more floating in the mud.
The charred corpse was almost inhuman shape.
These charred corpses were washed away by heavy rains and a large amount of debris floated on the sewage, spreading all the way into the mountains... Li Changan then looked up, and the red sky came into his eyes... In the intertwining wind and rain, the entire mountain was burning, and the pavilions were burning.
Pavilions, mud, rocks, grass and trees, everything seems to have become firewood.
And above the flames, on the top of the mountains, the clouds hanging down from the sky were like huge iron pestles, rotating slowly, as if to smash and smooth the mountains, and at the same time, countless thunderbolts burst out and plowed into the mountain fire.
Stirring up the flames.
Add strong winds and heavy rain, and the flames will become even more explosive and fierce.
This horrifying scene left Li Changan speechless for a long time.
"Taoist Priest?"
A shout with a strong local accent came to my ears.
The Taoist priest turned around and saw a soldier standing next to him with a spear in his hand. His armor was broken and covered in blood. When he saw Li Changan looking over, he grinned sheepishly and wiped his face with the rain, feeling a little calmer.
He asked hesitantly:
"Did we...win?"
This question made Li Changan pause for a moment. He turned back to look at the altar, but Luo Yuqing just chanted the incantation endlessly. He looked around again, and saw pairs of eyes full of expectation.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.
This nod was like flipping a switch, and the atmosphere of the battlefield suddenly became alive. Some people jumped and shouted and cheered loudly, some people's tense energy relaxed and fell to the ground; more people hugged their heads and cried.
Li Changan still hesitated.
Is this a win? But...
Where is the Corpse Buddha?
Could it be possible that he was hacked to death without saying a word? This is a demon god.
Others have doubts about themselves and always feel that things have been done in a hasty manner.
But the Tao is a good spirit but not a bad spirit.
suddenly.
A dull rumble filled my ears.
The earth trembled and the water surged up.
The people who had just stood up became gourds on the ground again.
Li Changan barely managed to steady his body.
"Mountain!"
someone exclaimed.
"The mountains are flying!"
What?
Li Changan suddenly looked up and saw that Yeshan was still burning, but Sunshan next to him was slowly rising from the ground amid tremors and roars.
In the air, large rocks that were reddened by the fire rolled down, revealing the blue-black hard rock underneath and the densely packed vines that looked like a net.
"Look! There seems to be a monster wrapped in the stone."
The Taoist priest suddenly woke up after hearing this and quickly looked at it carefully.
After the outer rocks of Sun Mountain peeled off, the exposed mountain did indeed have an abstract outline of a monster, with the head, tail and claws faintly visible, just like a huge unfinished stone sculpture.
But then.
The "stone sculpture" actually came to life, stretched out its claws, swung its head and tail, and shook off all the rocks on its body.
Then you can see it.
A huge stone beast with three heads on one head and two wings on its back jumped into the sky!
"What a monster!"
On the throne, Luo Yuqing gritted his teeth and cursed bitterly, then waved the command flag and the curses in his mouth became more urgent.
"Swing the Venus to the left, throw the fire bell to the right..."
With the flag pointed at his command and under the urging of the magic spell, the rotation of the cloud mountain suddenly accelerated, and continuous thunderstorms exploded from the clouds, which also inspired countless thunder bags to strike at the giant dragon, causing the rocks to collapse and fly away.
But the three-headed Shi Jian went against the thunder instead.
Even though the thunder flooded the sky for a moment, it still hit the cloud mountain. Although there was no sound or breath, everyone in the field felt like a bell and drum beating in their hearts, and they watched the cloud mountain connecting the sky and the earth collapse instantly.
Collapse.
The wind, rain, fire, and thunder all suddenly disappeared. In the entire universe, this demon was the only one left to show its ferocious power.
It flaps its wings, raises its head and hisses.
Although he could only see the movement but not hear the sound, it was still so frightening that his legs trembled and his face turned pale.
At this moment.
Luo Yuqing shouted:
"Taihu Dragon Lord! If you don't take action yet, when will you wait?!"
The words just fell.
Then you can hear a dragon's roar above the clouds, penetrating through the sea of clouds.
Immediately, the whole cloud sky seemed to be boiled, churning violently.
Er.
But I saw a bright golden color bursting out from the clouds above the three-headed stone beast. It was a piece of golden scale sticking out of the thundercloud, shining in the electric light.
Immediately afterwards.
Horse head, antlers, lion temples, snake body, carp scales, tiger paws, eagle claws... A five-clawed golden dragon wrapped in wind and thunder rushed out of the clouds and pressed directly against the three-headed stone dragon that was showing off its power.
Just in the blink of an eye.
Accompanied by a huge muffled sound.
The two huge beasts, the golden dragon and the stone jade, collided fiercely and started fighting.
Smoke and clouds billowed, thunder exploded, rocks collapsed, and scales scattered in all directions.
They all fell into the mountain fire below, like the best accelerant, causing the fire to rise and baking the whole sky like a boiling sea of fire.
On the ground, Li Changan's face was numb when he saw it. He pulled out a three-foot green sword and put it back into its sheath. After being hit three times in a row, he was just at a loss.
How could a little wild Taoist like him be involved in a battle of this scale?
For a moment, I felt a sense of absurdity and shame as I had nothing to do and waited for the situation to develop.
At this time, several painful moans interrupted his reverie.
Li Changan quickly followed the sound and saw that the soldier who had asked him the question before was lying weakly on his back in the muddy water, with a shocking pool of bright red floating on the water around his waist.
Li Chang'an was agitated, and his sanity, disturbed by the successive big scenes, finally came back.
What should I do? Isn’t this clear?
Help!
He quickly woke up the bewildered soldiers and asked the general to come out and organize manpower to rescue the wounded.
As for the fighting between the golden dragon and the stone dragon that day, let Luo Yuqing and his gods and Buddhas in the sky deal with it. Anyway, I, the little Taoist priest, have tried my best, but there is nothing I can do next.
As the saying goes, do your best to obey the fate of heaven, nothing else.
…………
In the sky, the golden dragon and the stone dragon are still fighting among themselves.
On the ground, Luo Yuqing was not idle either.
Although the dragon king in the sky appeared with great fanfare and had a resounding name, and temporarily saved the situation, Luo Yuqing never put the treasure on him.
Firstly, this person has been locked up in a gourd for eight hundred years and has been away from the battlefield for a long time; secondly, this thing feeds on "borneol brains".
In Luo Yuqing's opinion, the three-headed stone beast was so ferocious that it must have been transformed by the corpse Buddha. In this way, the killer weapon at hand could finally be released.
But since it is a trump card, it will inevitably take some time to prepare. Letting the Dragon Lord appear is just to let him hold Shi Jian back to prevent him from sensing the crisis and running away.
Ever since.
Luo Yuqing put on her ceremonial crown, straightened her appearance, and then kowtowed to the altar on the tribute table:
"Disciple Luo Yuqing would like to report to the Heavenly Lord: Today there is a demon god causing trouble in this area. My disciple's moral practice is shallow and I am unable to control it. Therefore, please borrow the three ways of divine thunder to suppress evil spirits and help all people."
After saying this, the wind and rain splashing around the altar suddenly became tamed, and the light smoke curled up in front of the tribute table, faintly transforming into the appearance of a stone jade and a golden dragon. Their expressions and movements were all consistent with the two giant beasts in the sky.
Then, Luo Yuqing took out a token, picked up some cinnabar, sketched the talisman, then held up the token and kowtowed again:
"I pay my respects to Emperor Yuqing, and please lend me the Divine Thunder."
As he finished speaking, he saw a ray of white light hanging straight down from the sky and submerging into the token. Above the clouds, a large hole suddenly opened in the clouds, and a white light of lightning emerged from it. Although the light was cold but not dazzling, people looked up and saw it.
But I suddenly felt that I couldn't look directly at it, as if it contained endless power and power.
Of course Shi Huan also discovered the strange scene in the sky, but he was dragged tightly by the golden dragon and could not escape. In anger, the fight only became more fierce.
On the throne, Luo Yuqing was very orderly. He took out another token and amulet and knelt down.
"Second thanks to Emperor Haosheng, please lend me Qingxiao Lei."
"Three thanks to Emperor Hejing, please lend me Zixiao Lei."
After kowtowing three times, there were three more lightning lights in the sky: white, green, and purple, and there were three more tokens on the desk.
"call."
Luo Yuqing took a deep breath. This presiding over the altar really consumed a lot of his energy, but fortunately, everything will be over!
He picked up the token symbolizing "Purple Sky Thunder" and winked at Xi Shi next to him. Xi Shi quickly waved the flag, while he stared straight at the light smoke in front of the stage and saw a flaw.
He is about to knock out the token in his hand, and in the sky, the purple sky thunder with great power is also surging and ready to go!
According to the agreement, waving the command flag here means that the divine thunder is about to strike, and Taihu Dragon Lord must withdraw from the battlefield quickly to avoid accidental injury.
But who would have thought that the golden dragon completely ignored Ling Qi, and instead became more and more involved in Shi Jian's strangulation.
Fortunately, the old Taoist also had quick eyesight and quick hands. With a flick of his head and fingertips, the divine thunder brushed against the two huge creatures and sank into the mountain.
Luo Yuqing stared blankly at the token that fell into the muddy water. His old face turned from white to blue, from green to red, and from red to black. In just a few seconds, his face changed.
"This evil! Why is he so crazy?!"
He was angry and confused.
If the golden dragon wanted to cooperate, he should have just agreed to get out of the way; if he wanted to hinder, the fighting style was obviously to fight to the death.
"Why are you so crazy?"
Cao Shenjiang suddenly sneered and said:
"The old Taoist priest probably forgot why this dragon was imprisoned. It was just that he was irritable and aggressive by nature, and he got anxious when fighting with others, and he recklessly caused a flood regardless of the consequences. At present, it seems that he probably escaped once and ran into the dragon's mortal enemy again. For a while,
Just kill red eyes."
"Are you jealous?"
The flag was waved repeatedly on the stage, but the golden dragon in the sky didn't care at all.
The old Taoist was so angry that he was furious. This opening of the altar to bring down the divine power was not without cost. Firstly, it consumed the faith and wishes of all living beings, and secondly, it consumed the host's own blessings. Not to mention anything else, these three divine thunders alone made Luo Yuqing
It paid a big price.
However, this extremely expensive "Purple Sky Thunder" was wasted because Long Jun was "red-eyed".
The more Luo Yuqing thought about it, the angrier she became, to the point where she was so angry that she picked up the token and uttered foul language.
"My mother-in-law is so jealous!"
After saying this, he was about to strike, and the divine thunder in the sky immediately responded.
When this divine thunder strikes, not only the three-headed stone beast, but also the golden dragon will be cut into two pieces.
Several Zhengyi Taoist priests nearby were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Even Cao Shenjiang, who had been watching the show in silence, also hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed the token tightly.
"You're crazy! That's the Dragon Lord of Taihu! Back then, your ancestor didn't dare to kill him, let alone him now who has made no mistakes, so how can he be killed at will?!"
"This won't work, that won't work either, so what can I do!"
The divine thunder you invited also has a time limit. I don’t know whether the golden dragon can beat him. But if he can’t beat it and the thunder disperses, the Taihu Dragon Lord can run away with his tail between his legs, and his group will take Yuzhou with him.
All have to die.
Luo Yuqing was so anxious that she pulled her hair and beard, pressed the token on the table, and started spinning it in circles again.
The god general next to him breathed a sigh of relief and put on a calm look again.
"This is easier said than done."
Luo Yuqing's red eyes glared over, and she almost said "Quickly fart".
"It's just that the Taihu Dragon King is in the way and can't lower the thunder. In that case, just find someone to go up and pull the dragon away."
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist looked at the general with suspicion.
"Are you so kind?"
General Cao waved his hand: "Of course it's not me. I can only protect you."
The old man rolled his eyes.
"Then you're talking nonsense!"
Apart from you, a god like you, who else has this ability right now?
Having been together for decades, Cao Shenjiang naturally knew the old Taoist's temper, and he immediately criticized him.
"fool."
He held his maces and sneered:
"On your altar, the divine power from the Gods of Thunder has not yet been exhausted. Can't you entrust it to someone? Even if you can't fight and kill the demon, you can still do it by driving the wind and thunder, flying in the air, and drawing the golden dragon.
Bar?"
The old Taoist's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he immediately shook his head.
God will say it is simple, but in reality it is extremely difficult.
Not to mention how dangerous it is to intervene in the fight between two behemoths, it is also extremely difficult to control wind and thunder. Ordinary Taoism, even if it can call the wind and rain to bring down thunder, is to report to the gods to perform the law on their behalf, and the gods will use this method.
But they let people go up and fight with their divine power.
This is like reading a few military books and then going to command thousands of troops. It is really a fool's dream. How can ordinary Taoist priests have this ability?
The old man looked around.
I have some experience, but with my old arms and legs, and secondly with having to control the divine thunder, I can't do it.
And the remaining disciples, disciples and grandchildren.
The dragon picture can be used to pray to gods and ghosts, and the rocks on the stream can be used to offer incense and chant sutras... In short, Taoist priests are all good Taoist priests, but they may not be able to perform tasks such as going to Qingming and fighting demons reliably.
He scratched his head, rolled his eyes, and suddenly saw a short-haired Taoist squatting in the mud in front of the altar, collecting the body.
…………
"Junior Wu."
Li Changan closed his eyes for the deceased and turned around when he heard the sound.
A porcelain bottle drew a parabola and fell into his arms. He took it and smelled it, and the familiar scent of medicine lifted his spirits.
He was not busy taking the elixir. As the saying goes: There is no free lunch in the world. Li Changan looked up and saw the old Taoist priest smiling at him on the altar.
"Listen to my disciples..."
Luo Yuqing gave random instructions to a few Taoist priests.
"Do you have the magical power to control the wind?"
"Understand a little bit."
"Are you agile and skilled in swordsmanship?"
"Alright"
"I also heard..."
"If a real person has something to say, he might as well say it directly."
Li Changan interrupted his nonsense without any politeness. The injured had not been treated, the bodies had not been collected, and the deceased had not been saved. How could he have the time to chat with him?
The old man was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and did not lose his temper. He just rubbed his hands and asked:
"I wonder if you have the courage to go up to the sky and fight that demon again?"
This surprised Li Changan a little. He had listened to 70% to 80% of the conversation between the divine general and the old Taoist in the audience, but he didn't expect that Luo Yuqing would choose him, an outsider, instead of using a few Taoist priests.
He turned his head to look at Shi Jian and Jin Long who were fighting endlessly in Yun Tianxia, then turned back to meet the old Tao's earnest gaze, pressed his sword and said with a smile:
"Why don't you dare?"
…………
"I will grant you the Demon-Suppressing Sword of Shenxiao Jade Mansion, I will grant you the Yin and Yang Hunyuan Armor, I will grant you the Wind-Chasing and Lightning-Stepping Cloud Boots... and I will give you 10,000 Thunder Soldiers and 8,000 Wind Soldiers..."
Luo Yuqing held the magic sword and made gestures, but Li Changan didn't have much sense of reality.
The "Demon-Suppressing Sword", "Hunyuan Armor" and so on in the old Taoist spells are not real objects, there are only some invisible things that fall from the sky and attach themselves to the body. I don't know if they are powerful or not. Anyway, they are strangely uncomfortable.
But when he said "Wind Soldier", something in Li Changan's body seemed to echo it.
then.
The Taoist priest noticed that... no, it should be said that every gust of wind in an unknown number of miles around him seemed to be under his control. He felt that the wind was blowing over the broken battle flag, the wind was blowing over the remains of the deceased, and the wind was turning.
The flags of the altar are blown by the wind through the treetops, through the sea of fire, through the heavy rain...
He tried to raise his hand.
Suddenly.
The strong wind that had been howling just now suddenly stopped, leaving only the heavy rain falling.
He clenched his fist again.
The wind suddenly rose.
It only made the rain fly, flags fluttered, flames soared into the sky, and everything in the southeast and northwest was at his disposal.
Luo Yuqing was stunned. He pulled off a beard with a shake of his hand and grimaced in pain. But he didn't wait until he asked.
Li Changan couldn't wait to fly into the sky.
Skyrocketing!
…………
The long wind howled around me, the heavy rain turned into streaks of light, and the unattainable thunderclouds were within reach in an instant.
The Taoist priest didn't stop at all and plunged into the clouds. His eyes were immediately shrouded in clouds and mist, and everything could not be seen clearly. Only white light lit up from time to time, which was the sudden appearance of thunder in the clouds.
But it only lasts a second or two.
The fog in front of my eyes suddenly dissipated, and the endless blue flooded into my eyes.
At this moment, the vast sky is above us, the endless wind is around us, and the thunderclouds are under our feet.
It inevitably makes people open their chests and feel relaxed.
The ancients said:
Bearing the blue sky, clearing the clouds. Nothing like this!
Li Changan let out a long roar, causing the strong wind to roar and the clouds to surge, but he did not stop and went straight into the sea of clouds.
The clouds still pass by in an instant.
And this time.
What greeted him was raging fire, intertwined wind and rain, and violent thunder.
