"Mrs. Zhenlong? You have heard a little about it." Zhao Shu looked at the huge wooden statue and said: "Thousands of years ago, the Golden Eyed Demon King occupied the mountains, rivers and lakes, and divided the country. There were many great demons of the water tribe under his command who made trouble, often
It stirs up floods and harms the living people.
Later, the immortals went down to the lower realm to suppress the group of monsters, and the immortal family Yunhua Jun used great magic to suppress an evil dragon. Mortals did not know her name, so she called her the Dragon-Suppressing Lady. Later, it was also included in the Tianxia dynasty sacrificial ceremony. But I remember that there is this in ancient books
"Yun Huajun looks like a young girl, why does this statue look like an old woman?"
"I guess the common people think that the old woman is more dignified and reliable, right?" Qian Shaobai said helplessly: "The common people may not be able to distinguish the difference between immortals and gods. They worship Madam Zhenlong. All they want is good weather, stable rivers, and more.
It is to pray for more children, more blessings, and a prosperous family and career."
Zhao Shu nodded slightly: "It is a pity that such a statue of a righteous god has been stolen by demons. Under the solemn appearance, it is full of evil and blood."
"Ignorant mortals, if you can see this god, why don't you worship me?" At this time, the wooden statue of Mrs. Zhenlong came to life, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she spoke human words. Although she sounded like an old woman, her tone was not kind and solemn at all. More
It's a coercive force.
"Seeing you manipulating vines, I guess you are a tree spirit and a wood monster." Zhao Shu said unceremoniously: "As for you, relying on wooden statues and pretending to be gods is already in violation of Shinto's principles of uprightness. As for making strange things,
You are responsible for causing trouble, and you deserve to be punished. But you took advantage of the chaotic situation to kill all the creatures in the city, and there is no other end than the destruction of body and spirit!"
When Qian Shaobai heard Zhao Shu's words, his fear of seeing the big demon suddenly disappeared. His heart was pounding and his blood was boiling.
"Ignorance." The wooden statue said with a smile: "You and other mortals are cutting down the grass and trees without planning. Have you ever heard the plaintive voice of the grass and trees in the mountains? Today, I took the lives of a city of mortals, just to make up for it a little. In the future, this god will continue to grow.
Thousands of miles away, let billions of creatures nourish the vegetation with their flesh and blood!"
The voice of the wooden statue has the power of penetration. In the past, many people in Liaohua County knelt down in front of the statue, and then one by one was impaled by canes. The bloody scene was imprinted in the minds of those who heard it. If there are mortals here, hearing the words
Afterwards, the spirit must be horrified and unable to restrain itself, and may even die suddenly on the spot.
"When you say this, it shows that you have lost your innocence." Zhao Shu was not disturbed at all and sneered: "The grass and trees are rooted in the earth, they are illuminated by the sun and the moon, moistened by rain and dew, and supported by the thick soil below, nourished by humus, and reach the sky.
The earth corresponds to the four seasons and is in harmony with yin and yang. Plants and trees are naturally born and killed, and they are deeply connected to innocence. Now that you are falsely claiming to be nourished by the flesh and blood of billions of living beings, isn't it self-indulgence?"
"Arrogant!" The wooden statue shouted violently, and dozens of vines burst out of the ground, heading towards Zhao Qian and Zhao Qian.
However, Zhao Shu did not move, and the Ming Dynasty Mirror also spewed out dozens of blazing flames, like fire snakes coiling in the sky, entangled with broken vines and trees, and strangled each other into a ball. The already dilapidated houses and buildings could not withstand the two powerful forces.
Impacted, they were razed to the ground one after another.
Originally, the fire snake was most suitable for burning the vines, but unexpectedly, the water vapor in the wood was abundant and evaporated, and the fire snake was soon at a disadvantage.
"Can you still use the method of summoning the Three Lights just now?" Zhao Shu secretly sent a message to Qian Shaobai.
"Not now, unless you let me adjust my breathing for a while." Qian Shaobai said.
"Then you just concentrate on regulating your breath. I'll let you take action later." Zhao Shu took out a jade bottle. Everything he had previously stored in the Longtan Cave was taken away by him with the True Essence Lock: "This is the Huang Jing that replenishes Qi."
Please take the nourishment and dew. Within three feet of me, I will be protected from wind and rain."
Qian Shaobai took the jade bottle, and for some reason, he became very trusting of Zhao Shu. He took the elixir without much thought, and then practiced Qigong and adjusted his breathing.
The Fire Snake was weak, so Zhao Shu did not panic. Instead, he quickly formulated a countermeasure in his mind. He raised his hand to make a false move, and the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace naturally spread out, and thick cirrus clouds spread under his feet. It was not only a protective barrier, but also an altar.
.
"What a magic weapon." The wooden statue showed a greedy look, without any solemnity: "As long as you obediently offer this treasure, I will allow you to be my servant."
"Even if the pure is weak and the turbid is strong, the good is declining and the evil is strong, people like you are still so hopeless." Zhao Shu raised his sleeves, and the tiger's mighty iron order was sacrificed, and then all the officials and soldiers of the altar appeared in the altar of clouds.
Above, everyone takes his position.
The wooden statue had a premonition that Zhao Shu was going to perform a profound magic and would not allow him to complete his feats. The lifelike wooden dragon under the statue broke free, shaking its head and tail, dripping poisonous saliva, corroding the ground and sending out wisps of green smoke.
"go!"
With a command, the wooden dragon swept along the ground, crushing all obstacles in front of him, opening its big mouth and heading straight towards Zhao Shu.
"How can it be so easy?" Zhao Shu turned his palm and offered the Chilong Jade Seal, pressed it down on the cloud altar, and the dragon soul condensed into clouds and charged towards the wooden dragon.
The two dragons immediately got into a fight, using their fierce strength to fight against each other. They knocked down the wall with one turn, and set off mud waves with one swing of their tails. If there were still people in the city, thousands of people would be killed in the blink of an eye. This is the only way.
Only when the time comes, Zhao Shui will let go of his hands and feet to fight.
Seeing that Zhao Shu could not be captured for a while, the wooden statue urged the vines to crawl underground, trying to break through the ground from below and overturn the altar of clouds.
However, once the vines get close to the altar of clouds, it becomes difficult to force in, as if the soil in front turns into a solid rock and iron wall.
The mandala stood motionless, and Zhao Shu's Xiang gave birth to a purple and round light, which gradually attracted the clear air from the sky. The wooden statue became more and more angry. It knew in its heart that if Zhao Shu was allowed to continue practicing the law, it would have no chance of winning.
Making a decisive decision, the wooden statue of the god took back the fog barrier that stretched for dozens of miles, and the roots that penetrated deeply into the earth began to frantically absorb energy. The monsters and zombies in the city fell to the ground one after another, and the remaining vitality was sucked away.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Liaohua County town began to become restless and commotion. The river water surged, the city walls collapsed, and countless mud, stone and bricks were mixed into the water, forming a raging mud flow that surrounded and attacked from all directions.
The mud flow rolled over Liaohua County, destroying everything and swallowing up everything. Even rocks as tall as a person were rolled around like driftwood. Faced with such power, even a semi-immortal body would not die if it was caught in it.
To be seriously injured.
Surrounded by vine nets and mudflows from all directions, Zhao Shui looked calm and composed in the face of the magic power that flattened a city. The nine-day cloud platform was quiet as usual. He turned his palms and raised them lightly. The Chilong retreated, the altar circled, and the officials and soldiers chanted in unison.
Curse, below the altar of clouds, hills and rocks were formed. Although the surging mud flow was powerful, it was never higher than the rock hills.
The evil spirits of the earth transformed, the blocks moved, and the mud flow kept colliding with the rock hill, but it was unable to destroy it. Instead, the mud and rocks accumulated and followed Zhao Shuning's spiritual movements, making the rock hill rise higher and higher.
A moment later, a nine-story platform more than six feet high stood among the muddy ruins. On the altar of clouds, Zhao Shu stood unshakably, and the Ming Dynasty mirror hung high like the sun and moon, shining in all directions.
Seeing this situation, the wooden statue was also deeply shocked. He had spent all his magic power, but it was actually used by the other party. This was far beyond his expectation.
Seeing the purple flowers shining brightly on the high hill and the altar of clouds, reaching up to the sky, a sharp force that frightened him gradually gathered, and the wooden statue already wanted to retreat. Just as he was planning to restrain Zhao Shu, he was thinking of a way to escape.
At that moment, I heard the other party’s voice coming from afar:
"With your roots in the ground, are you unable to escape?"
The wooden statue was suddenly startled. It was extremely difficult for the essence of its own vegetation to move its original body. Just now, in order to deal with Zhao Shu, the roots had penetrated deep into the earth's veins. Now it is becoming more and more difficult to leave nature.
"Is this your plan too?!"
The wooden statue had a ferocious face, and it was difficult to tell whether it was male or female. As it roared angrily, countless sharp vine branches broke through the ground, like a rain of arrows that covered the sky and shot towards the high hilly cloud altar.
"The sharp edges of hundreds of soldiers are not added to the body, and the arrows of bows and crossbows are all returned!"
Zhao Shu recited the forbidden incantation, and a forbidden air talisman appeared in the Great Ming Mirror, instantly covering the outside of the cloud platform, and the dense vine branches suddenly slowed down.
When the vine branches came to a complete standstill, as if inspired by invisible magic power, they all turned around and shot through the air toward the wooden statue!
"not good!"
The wooden statue was so shocked that it sent out a vine net to protect itself while trying to escape to the ground.
The branches of the vines exploded like a waterfall, causing wood chips to fly everywhere. The wooden statue was also scratched and scratched. Fortunately, this statue was nourished by faith and was already as solid as iron stone, so it would not be damaged immediately.
Before the wooden statue could react, there was a sound of bells in the sky, and suddenly a golden ax was seen hanging high on the top of the clouds. The light was brighter than the sun, and it fell with the rolling wind and thunder. The ax blade alone was a hundred feet long, and the two axes were
The sides are engraved with animal face totems, and the power of killing fills the surrounding world.
This form-destroying golden ax was a power that no disciple of the Jiangzhen Hall had ever displayed in the past. Before the ax blade even hit the ground, the huge wind pressure had broken vines and wood on the ground, causing sand and rocks to fly!
There is no way for the wooden statue to escape, and there is no way to avoid it. The golden ax falls, and the energy of Taibai Gengjin, which can best restrain the monsters of vegetation, combines the ax and ax into one, directly splitting the wooden statue from top to bottom, like a sharp blade.
Cutting apart dead wood is neat and tidy, without any hindrance.
Just splitting the statue is not enough, the power of the invisible golden ax spreads along the roots and veins under the wooden statue, cutting off the roots and extinguishing all life.
A mournful cry that ordinary people couldn't hear came from the ground. The plants and trees within a hundred miles of radius were affected, trembling and shaking, and signs of withering and decay quickly appeared.
"What a hate-" The expression of the wooden statue that was split into two parts was distorted, with blood and tears oozing from its eyes, which was very strange.
"Do it!" Zhao Shu ignored him and sent a message to Qian Shaobai: "Let the power of the three lights fall on the place where the vitality is the strongest."
Qian Shaobai opened his eyes and immediately flew up, raising his fingers to the sky. The powerful sun flames fell from the sky again, shooting directly into the depths of the cracks in the wooden statue.
As soon as the sun flames fell, there was a loud roar, and the last tenacious vitality of the grass and trees was extinguished. The mournful screams were suddenly cut off. The wooden statues were like dry firewood poured with oil, and instantly ignited a raging fire, igniting the surrounding vines.
The fire spread across the entire Liaohua County in an instant. Although the place was already a mess and muddy, except for a nine-story rock platform lifted up by Zhao Shu, there was almost no trace of the existence of Liaohua County.
Qian Shaobai fell on the ledge and looked at the fireworks all over the city. He felt dizzy, his chest ached, his nose was hot, and blood flowed out.
"Oops, the technique was too violent and the Qi veins were damaged..." Qian Shaobai only had time to flash this thought in his mind before he fainted.
…
When Qian Shaobai woke up again, he found himself lying in the tent, filled with incense and quiet and peaceful.
Qian Shaobai just wanted to get up and felt that his limbs were sore and weak. When he turned his head, he saw Zhao Shu sitting beside him, holding a book in his hand, looking attentive.
"Are you awake?" Zhao Shu flipped his palm, and the book disappeared out of thin air. He leaned over and fiddled with the incense in the furnace at will, and said: "In order to summon the three lights to come, you forcibly activated your magic power, and the qi conflict caused damage to the qi in your chest.
Almost hurting Jiang Gong."
Qian Shaobai was shocked when he heard this, and Zhao Shu continued: "I have used magic to protect your heart, chest, and Qi meridians, and I will use elixirs to heal it a little later. However, if you want to fully recover, you still need to take care of yourself slowly."
"How is Liaohua County?" Qian Shaobai asked.
"Liaohua County has been burned to ashes, and General Guan is leading his men to clean it up." Zhao Shuyan said: "I have repeatedly confirmed that the monster has no chance of survival and will not continue to cause trouble."
"That's good, that's good." Qian Shaobai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that one day he would fight side by side with Zhao Shu, and he did not leave him casually, but instead rescued himself from unconsciousness.
.
"Where did the monster come from?" Qian Shaobai felt that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so he asked.
"I have surveyed the nearby mountains and rivers in the past few days and guessed that it might be a thousand-year-old vine." Zhao Shu said: "Once this kind of vine takes root and grows, it can grow forever. After one tree is strangled, another one will be found.
Stop, even the tall trees in a mountain forest are entangled with vines at the same time, depriving them of all their life."
"Thousand-year-old vine? I have heard of it." Qian Shaobai's eyes lit up: "If this vine can live to its thousand-year lifespan, it will bear fruit. It is known as the Eternal Spring Pill. Monks who take it can prolong their lives. It is said that this Eternal Spring Pill is also
The proof of the psychic transformation of Thousand-year-old Vine. When this fruit falls on the ground, it can turn into a human form and break away from the original body of vegetation."
"The demon vine we dealt with still retains its original form of vegetation." Zhao Shu explained: "I knew this and deliberately led him to take root in the earth's veins and display his magic power, so that he would have nowhere to escape."
When Qian Shaobai heard these words, he couldn't help but secretly fear. If Zhao Shu's cultivation had not been advanced enough, he would have died in Liaohua County.
"You are not even a thousand years old and you have such magical power. This demonic vine should not be underestimated." Qian Shaobai sighed.
"No." Zhao Shu retorted: "The demon vine has this magical power, and it is not entirely obtained by its own cultivation. I suspect that after the drastic changes in Dongshengdu, it was attached to Liaohua County to suppress the dragon in order to avoid the turmoil in the mountains and rivers.
In the statue of Madam, she nourished herself with the power of incense during the war, and sucked the flesh and blood of the people in the city, causing vines to grow all over the county."
"It's just a pity for the people in the city and the accompanying soldiers." Qian Shaobai looked remorseful: "If I could have been more vigilant, I might have noticed something strange when I entered the fog barrier, so that I wouldn't have led the others deeper."
Zhao Shu reminded: "The monster has been killed."
"That's right." Qian Shaobai frowned slightly: "But without your help, let alone dealing with such monsters, I'm afraid I would have become a blood meal for monsters to satisfy their hunger."
