Standing on the charred hilltop, Wu Jie looked at the giant octopus that had been cooked to maturity, and snorted a sneer from his nose.
"With such a wide range of attacks, you want to kill me and the Holy Goddess together, right? What a beautiful idea!"
He couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart: if Jiang and Wan were not too greedy and concentrated the power of this magic weapon on one point, he was not sure whether the Holy Goddess could stop it, but he was sure that he was
Unstoppable.
And if it weren't for the clever method of the Holy Goddess, a light curtain stopped the rain of fire in the sky, I don't know how many people would have died in Sichen Town!
This Jiang Yu and Wanvi Beast are really evil people, they deserve to die!
He secretly learned the secret of the Fire Ministry's Dharma, and saw many tiny red lights suddenly rising from the rocks, gathering little by little, and finally turned into a flame and flew back into his left eye.
Although the attack just now was powerful, most of it was just temporarily snatched flames, and his divine fire consumption was not very large. These divine fires would not dissipate as quickly as ordinary flames, and were still hidden in the crevices of the mountains and rocks. At this moment, he was doing the same thing.
Summon them to bring them back.
This Fire Department Zhengfa is indeed the secret method used by the fighting gods in the heavens. The efficiency of using power is really amazing!
After taking back the unconsumed flames, Wu Jie chopped up the remains of the evil beast and put them into the medicine box together with the remains of the magic weapon.
The body of an octopus is just two layers of skin, both inside and outside. It looks very big, but in fact it doesn't weigh much. There aren't many remains of the magic weapon. But even so, it almost fills up the space in his medicine box, or even part of it.
The roasted octopus meat was also thrown into the world of heavenly books.
"I haven't eaten such a big octopus before, let's try it!" Du Ruo cut a small piece and threw it into his mouth, chewed it, then sighed, "Fourth, before grilling next time, you should first
Prepare some hot sauce, salt, oil...it won’t taste good without seasonings!”
"You don't understand. Monsters that have been practicing for a long time like this should be eaten alive so that they can fully absorb the life essence in their bodies and improve their own cultivation!"
"Eating them alive? That's a bit too cruel!"
"Hey... monsters eat people alive, and I don't see anyone who thinks it's cruel."
"I just think it's cruel!" Wu Jie said firmly, "Old San, you must not listen to her! It's not news that a dog bites a man, but it becomes big news if a man bites a dog!"
While chatting and walking, he soon came to Sichen Town again.
At this moment, Sichen Town no longer had the protection of the light curtain. The frightened residents were at a loss and subconsciously gathered towards the venue.
Although there seems to be something wrong with the Supreme Holy Religion, in any case, they still have a large number of people, and they have the Holy Goddess with boundless power sitting in charge, so they should be the safest there!
Wu Jie hesitated for a moment and then walked towards the venue.
Although it seemed very weak and stupid to rashly come to the Golden Elixir Patriarch who might be an enemy rather than a friend, he felt that the Holy Goddess would not kill him.
With this senior's great supernatural power, if she were to be chopped off with a sword, she would have to choose between being chopped into two pieces or hiding back in the world of the Book of Heaven. Even the possibility of the former is far greater than the latter. Since she has always
If you haven't taken action yet, there is no reason to take action now.
When he arrived at the venue, he saw that the venue seemed a bit chaotic. A large number of people gathered here uneasily. Under the command of the white-robed monks of the Supreme Holy Church, they maintained almost the lowest level of calm.
Many people were looking at the Holy Goddess, but no one dared to take the initiative to approach her.
She sat there quietly. The wings of light behind her were so dim that they were almost invisible. Her body seemed to be extremely weak. She might not even be able to stand up, so she could only sit on a chair.
Next to her, the three leaders of the Supreme Holy Church lay motionless in the poisonous blood, probably dead.
"Greetings, senior!" Wu Jie walked up and said loudly, "The two demons who attacked Sichen Town have been killed by me!"
"You are very good. Not only are you strong, but what's more rare is that you have a kind heart and are eager for justice and justice." The Holy Goddess raised her head and looked at Wu Jie, "I am far behind you. In the end, I couldn't save anyone."
"They committed the evil themselves first, and this result is their own fault! Why should seniors blame themselves?"
"They are certainly guilty, but who is pure and flawless in front of the Holy Father?" The Holy Goddess asked calmly, "You, me, everyone here, who dares to say that he has not made mistakes? Who dares to say that he is pure and flawless?
, there is no sin on you?”
Wu Jie frowned and retorted: "Even though everyone makes mistakes sometimes, the magnitude and nature of the mistakes are completely different. The crimes of the three of them are so heinous! Even if they are sent to the government for trial, it is still a serious crime! How could it be possible?
Get mixed up with everyone!”
"Human beings cannot judge the size of sin because their knowledge is limited and they cannot see anything more." The Holy Goddess said, "The only one who can judge everything is the Holy Father."
Wu Jie sighed, not wanting to get entangled in this issue of faith, and simply changed the subject: "Senior, now that three of them are dead and you are not in good health, do you still plan to maintain this sect? Forgive me.
Frankly speaking, with your practices during this period and your teachings - I am afraid it will be difficult for this sect to maintain for too long."
The Holy Goddess did not answer immediately, but looked at him deeply until she felt a little uneasy, and then said softly: "Would you like to hear me tell a story?"
"Of course, it's a great honor!"
"Many, many years ago, I don't know exactly how long ago - not long after the death of His Majesty Xin, the princes of the nine states all wanted to become the new generation of human emperors and fought against each other endlessly."
Wu Jie was secretly surprised: the ancient Holy Emperor Li Xin is a legendary figure. His age cannot be verified. His time was even long before the establishment of Qingyang Temple. Judging from the meaning of the Holy Goddess, it seems that she wants to introduce herself.
, is she actually a figure from the mythical age?
But he secretly recalled in his heart, but he did not remember that there was a person like the Holy Goddess in the mythical era.
"At that time, there was a group of people who wanted to restore peace to the world, hiding in the dark and working silently." The Holy Goddess continued, "They believed in a great god called the Holy Father, praised his name, and followed his teachings.
, practice according to the method passed down by him, and each of them will have extraordinary power."
"The power of these strong men is enough to destroy the princes everywhere, but their power cannot quell the disputes in the world. Most of the disputes in the world come from the lack of resources. As long as this problem cannot be solved, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to solve the problem."
We can only suppress conflicts temporarily, but they will eventually break out."
Wu Jie nodded slightly, feeling that she was right.
"The strong men thought hard, and finally drew up a plan under the guidance of the Holy Father: a great strong man took the initiative to sacrifice, and used her flesh, blood and soul as the basis to create many dolls with similar powers to her
.They spread these dolls throughout Kyushu and let them lurk individually."
"A total of 20,000 such dolls were made."
Wu Jie couldn't help but be surprised - the Holy Goddess was probably one of those dolls, but there were actually 20,000 golden elixir realm dolls?! If there were so many strong men, how could this sect have been destroyed in the first place!
"After completing 20,000 dolls, the strong men began to make the last and most important doll. It has power beyond other dolls, and at the same time, it uses spirit to connect all the dolls, connecting each other's strength and will.
The ability to work together as one. It is the final work and the most special one.”
The Holy Goddess said, pointing to herself.
"That's me, the 20,01st general of the Great Guangming Sect's Dharma Protector."
Wu Jie sighed softly, "Oh~", finally clearing up his doubts.
It turns out that these 20,000 dolls are not actually strong, the only one who is really strong is the Saint Goddess.
"After I was created, everyone began to compare my strength and adjust the formation that had been completed long ago. As long as this formation is activated under my leadership, it can connect all my companions all over the land of Kyushu, and then form a
An unimaginably huge formation."
"This formation will distort many basic laws of the human world, allowing resources to continue to prosper, allowing people to escape from illness and sorrow, and face life, old age, illness and death peacefully... It will be like relying on human power to create a paradise of bliss!"
"So, this plan and this formation are called 'artificial paradise'."
"How did this plan fail?" Wu Jie asked.
"The failure of the plan stemmed from an unexpected thing - we suddenly lost contact with the Holy Father."
"Lost contact? The Holy Father is so powerful, how could he lose contact with you?"
"Then I don't know. I only know that suddenly, no one can contact the Holy Father." The Holy Goddess said clearly that she was very regretful, but her words were still calm, and no waves could be heard, "Because of the panic.
Because of this, the news was accidentally leaked. The princes who were still fighting each other immediately put down their conflicts and temporarily cooperated. On the one hand, they found the puppets lurking in various places and killed them. On the other hand, they launched a campaign against the Great Guangming Sect regardless of the cost.
The onslaught.”
Wu Jie couldn't help but sigh, he had already vaguely guessed this possibility.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and his body froze involuntarily, and he asked in a low voice: "Senior...you just said that you can connect all the dolls with your spirit?"
"That's right."
"So you can feel what they feel?"
"Yes."
Wu Jie couldn't help but open his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Doesn't this mean that the Holy Goddess has felt the death of those dolls lurking everywhere again and again, maybe even twenty thousand times!
The so-called hell is nothing more than this!
"Without the gift of the Holy Father, the Great Guangming Cult was no longer able to resist the joint attack of the princes. The mountain gate was broken down bit by bit, and the believers fell one by one. At the same time, the puppets lurking everywhere also
It was quickly destroyed..." The tone of the Holy Goddess did not fluctuate at all, as if she was not talking about her own experience, but about other people's things. "In the end, they created a special formation to seal me in Hejiuzhou.
It’s in a completely independent space.”
"You are our ideal, you are our dream. As long as you are still there, we have not completely failed. As long as you are still there, our dream can continue." Sheng Tiannv slowly repeated, "When I
Before being sealed, the leader, who was already seriously injured, said this to me."
"Live, persevere, and continue our dream! Although this is very unkind, please be sure to agree to my last request!"
"Then, I waited there, waiting for myself to see the light of day again, waiting to continue their dreams."
"This is very unrealistic. With your own strength, how could you accomplish what the entire Great Guangming Cult was unable to accomplish?" Wu Jie couldn't help but say, "This task is completely impossible!
"
"It may or may not be possible, that's not what I'm considering. I'm just a puppet, I just need to carry out their orders." The Saint held on to the table and stood up unsteadily, "But...it seems like I really
I can't do it anymore. My strength has been exhausted and I can no longer continue this dream."
Wu Jie was silent and could only sigh.
The Holy Goddess pulled out the sword from her waist, supported it with it, and walked slowly in front of Wu Jie.
"Young man who has strength, courage and a sense of justice, are you willing to help me continue this dream?"
Wu Jie was stunned. Looking at her calm eyes, recalling the greatness and sadness in what she just said, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Promise her! If we can turn the world into a paradise, wouldn't everyone be able to live a good life?" Du Ruo couldn't help shouting, urging Wu Jie to agree quickly.
"Master, promise her! She has nothing now. As long as you help her fulfill her last wish, she will definitely be willing to leave all her inheritance to you! The Great Guangming Cult must have a lot of inheritance, which has fallen from the sky.
This opportunity should not be missed!" Jasmine was also shouting.
Wu Jie was silent and thinking.
Finally, he shook his head slowly but firmly.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to use my life to continue your dream!" His words were a bit cruel, "I have been having this unrealistic dream for too long, it's time to wake up, Senior Saint Goddess
!”
The Holy Goddess didn't show any emotion, nodded slightly, and then raised her sword with difficulty.
"In this case, let's fight to the death. I will not allow outsiders who know my origin to live."
"The way you are now, it's impossible to win over me." Wu Jie didn't want to take action. Even he could see that the Saint Goddess was exhausted and might die in the next second. How could she fight again?
"Draw your sword, either you kill me or I kill you, I won't accept any other outcome!"
Wu Jie was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized.
He couldn't help but sigh deeply, took out the long knife from the medicine box, then put the medicine box down, took a step back, and raised the knife as a salute.
"Wu Jie, the junior of Qingyang Temple, please give me some advice!"
The Holy Goddess nodded slightly and raised her sword as a salute.
There was a flash of cold light, and the flexible figure and the slow figure collided.
Wu Jie remained motionless, while the Holy Goddess fell far away. The sharp long knife penetrated her left chest, piercing her armor and body, and most of the blade was exposed from her back.
Wu Jie hurriedly chased after her and helped her up.
"Although I haven't been able to continue everyone's dream, I tried my best, right?" Saint Goddess looked at him and asked feebly.
"Yes! You tried your best. You carried the dream of the entire Great Light Cult until the end!"
The Holy Goddess nodded with difficulty, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, as if she wanted to smile.
Wu Jie could not see her smile, because before that, she had turned into countless light spots and dissipated in his arms.
Also disappearing were her armor and sword. Everything about her turned into points of light, disappearing with the wind along with the dreams of the people who were determined to build a paradise on earth.
Wu Jie stayed for a long time before standing up. He couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the people who were confused and frightened by the defeat of the Holy Goddess, and had even begun to cry.
"Senior...you really left me with a huge problem!"
More than a month later, Qingyang Temple.
The turbulent vision gradually dissipated. An Ziqing, full of fighting spirit, pushed open the door of the small building and walked out in high spirits. The nearly half month of seclusion did not damage his appearance at all. He was still as elegant and elegant as usual.
noble.
He glanced around proudly and saw Yi Ti and Luo Yu who had not yet had time to enter the Tao. He couldn't help but raise his head slightly, and his heart was filled with pride.
Although he lost to Wu Jie, he was still the second person to succeed in becoming a Taoist. Having entered the Tao at the age of less than twenty-five, this achievement not only surpassed the ancestors of the An family, but was also regarded as the best among the talented Qingyang Temple.
Outstanding!
As for the freak who entered Taoism at the age of seventeen - there are always some precocious people in the world, but the road to immortality is so long, and those who can laugh to the end are the real winners!
He walked out confidently, suddenly frowned, and asked unhappily: "Where is Senior Brother Wu? I remember that he had returned to the mountain before the retreat? Why didn't I see him? Is he so arrogant!"
"Elder brother is out." Tao Tu, who was standing far away, replied, "He asked himself to be stationed in Sichen Town. You will have to wait three years before you can see him again."
An Ziqing felt as if he had hit a ball of cotton with his fist with all his strength, feeling indescribably uncomfortable.
At this time, Wu Jie was already sitting on the roof of the former Supreme Holy Church, watching the busy residents with a leisurely expression.
Beside him, Xingren was looking around with a small stick on his head, imitating his appearance.
"I will use three years to stabilize the order here, and at the same time let all the surrounding forces know that this town is a subordinate of our Qingyang Temple." Wu Jie said lightly, "And after three years, you will take over from me to protect it.
, just like what your master did back then."
"Can I really do it?" Xing Xing looked very unsure.
"Of course!" Wu Jie smiled, "Because this is the place that witnessed the ending of a great dream!"
