The calico cat clung to his chest, kicking its four little paws fiercely, almost climbing up on his body and clothes, until it poked its head out from his shoulders and looked at the borrowed mountain behind him.
At this time, Borrow Mountain was really in a miserable state.
"It doesn't matter..."
The Taoist turned around and looked at the mountain.
"Well, I can't see it again!"
The cat squirmed in his arms again, changed direction, and continued to look at Shishan with a pair of curious eyes.
I saw the Taoist blowing a breath.
"call……"
This breath suddenly turned into a cold wind.
The aura of the Great Cold just suited the world at this time. As soon as it was released, heavy snow suddenly fell on the "Borrowed Mountain". The red flowing rock on the mountain cooled rapidly, darkened and turned black, and the remaining spiritual power of Zhiyang Zhigang also disappeared.
Gradually, the coldness of the heaven and earth was eliminated, and it gradually returned to calm.
“It’s still rotten on the mountain!”
The calico cat stretched out a paw, stared at the borrowed mountain without blinking, pointed at the crack on it and said.
"Let it be like this."
"The trees on the mountain are gone too!"
"It will grow again."
"The stone tablet on the mountain is also rotten!"
"That's true..."
The Taoist had just cast his gaze to the bottom of the mountain. When he heard the words of Empress Sanhua, he moved his gaze back again, picked a place, and blew another breath:
"call……"
"Wow..."
A protruding stone on the mountain suddenly cracked, and the gravel powder washed down, leaving only a new stone tablet with the same sentence written on it:
In February of the sixth year of Mingde, Shu Yifan and the black horse borrowed a horse from the Pingzhou Mountain God to suppress the demon.
But the mountains have changed.
Today, it is still huge and majestic, especially in the grassland with no mountains and hills. It looks even more huge, abrupt and majestic. However, now it is full of cracks, and the largest crack is even wider than the mountain.
Official roads criss-cross the mountain. In addition, the newly cooled flow rock on the mountain also makes it look completely different from its previous appearance. If it is said to be strange, it is even more strange.
Since I am borrowing it to suppress demons, I still cannot forget my duty.
The Taoist held the cat with one hand and made a seal with the other hand.
"Sui Su Su Su..."
Suddenly, an unknown number of streams of light flew out from his hand, with various colors and different shades. Some flew in all directions, some flew into the borrowed mountain, and some flew into the bottom of the mountain, intertwining into a dazzling net.
The Yin-Yang Four-Season Array, which had been depleted and damaged in the battle, was replenished with spiritual power, and the affected aura of the mountain was gradually restored.
"call……"
The Taoist blew towards the mountain again.
The spring water that had seeped out from the bottom of the mountain suddenly flowed back, leaving not a drop left.
"Buzz..."
The magic circle takes effect again.
Yin and Yang do not rotate, and the four seasons remain unchanged.
Use mountains to control water.
"Demon Dao, if I can see the light of day again one day, I can destroy your entire family of Fulong Temple and cut off your inheritance..."
There were faint sounds coming from the mountains.
The first two words are relatively clear, but the later words are blurred, and the last few words are almost inaudible.
"brush!"
The cat in the Taoist's arms instantly turned its head, looked in the direction of the sound, and said blankly: "Empress Sanhua seems to have heard someone speaking!"
"yes……"
"who?"
"In the mountains."
"Oh! That demon king!"
"exactly……"
"What did he say?"
"He said that if he ever sees the light of day again, he will destroy all our Fulong Temple families and cut off our inheritance." Song You was very relaxed, as if he was talking about an insignificant thing, but after saying that, he couldn't help but express his gratitude to the cat in his arms.
He added, "If Empress Sanhua is still there at that time, Fulong Temple is still there, and the demon king is not dead yet, and she accidentally sees the light of day again, Empress Sanhua must remember to protect us."
His tone was like teasing a child.
"OK!"
The cat answered very solemnly.
"Then I will thank Sanhua Empress of Taoxingtongtian for the Taoist juniors many years later."
"You're welcome!"
"call……"
The Taoist took one last breath.
This time it’s to this land.
After the battle just now, although Ancient God Tianzhong used the Four Seasons Clock to seal off the world, although he had no intention of doing so, it could be regarded as preventing the spread of the harm of the battle to a certain extent. However, the Four Seasons Clock would still borrow a large piece of land at the foot of the mountain.
Shrouded inside, the villagers in a few scattered villages have been evacuated, but the houses have remained in place. Now these houses and the fields under the mountains have been affected.
The Taoist's breath is the insight gained from the aura of the five directions, which can restore the original vitality of this land.
Although it cannot be completely restored, at least the original fields and ridges cannot be restored, but at least farming can continue.
Damaged houses cannot be repaired.
However, Taoists can leave a little more aura in the fields. The fields at the foot of the mountain will definitely belong to these villages. When the people come back to rebuild their houses and start farming again, next year, they will be compensated.
After all this is done, it's over.
The last veiled gaze from the sky was withdrawn.
"Let's go." The Taoist said calmly, "Please ask Sanhua Empress to take us away."
"Where are you going again?"
"Go to Tianzhu Mountain!"
"Tianzhu Mountain!"
Empress Sanhua naturally knows Tianzhu Mountain.
Already been there twice.
From here, I vaguely know the direction.
"Canopy..."
The dark clouds in the sky turned into cranes and fell on the snow.
The wind blows and the snow dances, the sky and the earth are blurred, it seems that there are only two colors in the world, black and white. Even the Taoist's robes, the bodies of swallows and cranes do not mess up the colors. The only difference is a three-color cat and the top of the crane's head.
Just a little bit of red.
"Puff puff..."
The crane flapped its wings, blowing up the scattered snow on the ground, took a few steps, and then leisurely climbed into the sky.
The swallow is a small one, not as big as the crane's eyes. It flaps its wings hard and follows the crane, soaring in the snowy clouds, feeling very comfortable.
The calico cat was very afraid of the cold. It huddled up in the Taoist's arms and even raised its head to ask him if it was cold.
Taoists are naturally not cold.
"Did you defeat that ancient god?" Mao'er continued to raise his head and stared at him with a pair of amber eyes, curious, like a child who wanted to listen to a story.
"nature."
"Swallow said he is very powerful!"
"Yes."
"Then how did you win?"
"If you follow the general trend of the people and the way of heaven, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort."
"What about that ancient god?"
"When the body dies, the Tao disappears."
The Taoist spoke very calmly.
Ancient God Tianzhong is amazing. It’s hard to say who will win or lose in a fight between him and Lord Huoyang, but his threat to Song You is obviously greater than that of True Lord Huoyang. Both of them are powerful in ancient times.
He did not achieve the status of god by virtue and merit, but he was different from True Lord Huoyang in at least two points.
First, after True Lord Huoyang became a god, he almost stood behind the Fire Department of the Heavenly Palace. He was also the god of fire with great reputation among the people. Taoists in the world practice fire methods to worship True Lord Huoyang, and when they subjugate demons
I also borrowed fire from him, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the human world. However, the ancient god Tianzhong almost never appears and has almost no contribution to the people of the world.
Secondly, at that time, the Lord Huoyang in the lower realm did not have any serious intention to kill Taoists, which was almost the same attitude as the Ancient God Tianzhong this time.
Taoists naturally treat them differently.
After hearing this, Empress Sanhua was very worried. She lowered her upper eyelids slightly. Her originally round eyes were no longer so round. A frown appeared on her cat face as she looked at the Taoist.
"Then if you lose, will you also be beaten to death?"
"nature."
The Taoist said calmly, but after he finished speaking, he reached out and stroked her back hair: "But Sanhua Empress, don't worry, I have my own abilities."
The cat stopped talking.
"correct--"
The Taoist sat cross-legged on the back of the crane and asked them: "What time is it today?"
"Yanzi said it's been nine years since Da'an."
"Mr. Hui! The ninth year of Da'an just arrived today!" The swallow heard the voice and flew closer to the Taoist, almost flying on the back of the crane. "Today happens to be the first day of the first lunar month of the ninth year of Da'an!"
"The first day of the first lunar month..."
The Taoist couldn't help but look down.
Looking through the clouds and fog, you can see the grassland below.
In a daze, the grassland was still the same as before, covered with snow. However, among the snow, there were often village houses and occasionally smoke rising from cooking stoves.
"Why are so many houses empty?"
The calico cat also looked down, but asked in doubt.
"How did Sanhua Empress know that there was no one?"
"Because there is no smoke. If there are people, they should be cooking now. When cooking, smoke will be emitted."
"I see."
Before the Taoist answered her question, she had already seen the answer herself.
On the ground below, between the wind and snow, there were several long black lines, like moving ants, leading from one direction to another on the snow, walking hard in the wind and snow.
There is also a line ahead.
It's just that it's no longer a solid line of pitch black, but more like a dotted line. Every small dot that makes up this dotted line is farther away, farther, and farther away, but it is a dot that is bigger than a person -
It was a circle of snow temples that was originally located on the edge of the snowfield. What was enshrined in the temple was a group of hard-working gods, led by Raibu Shojin, who were proficient in fighting, subjugated demons and were willing to do so.
Today, the first day of the Lunar New Year, is the time to worship the gods.
People lined up in a long line, walking in the snow to resist the wind and snow. Some people carried baskets on their backs, and some carried burdens, which were full of incense sticks. They had to go to several snow temples to burn incense, and even
There are already long queues at the entrance of some snow temples that are relatively close to several places at the same time, and everyone is waiting to burn incense.
All the snow temples are emitting green smoke, rising straight into the sky.
Even when the Taoist group flew overhead on a crane, they could smell the smell of cigarettes.
This was a grand event that I heard about back then.
It was also a grand event that had never been seen back then.
Saw it today.
Not only did I see it, but I saw it more clearly from a more difficult and comprehensive perspective.
"Knew it……"
The demons in the snowfield have been eliminated, but the local people still follow the tradition and come here to worship the gods who have protected them.
Fourteen years have passed.
Maybe there are still many more fourteen years.
The Taoist couldn't help but smile.
At least as of now, any god who enters this circle of snow temples has never betrayed the trust and incense of the people.
"call……"
The crane flapped its wings and flew away from the snowy field.
This trip is diagonally toward the northeast, heading straight to Yuezhou.
It was only then that the Taoist breathed a sigh of relief.
"call……"
A look of exhaustion finally appeared on his face, and he finally showed a bit of weakness.
"Taoist priest, you are cold!"
The calico cat stared straight at the Taoist priest.
"Not even close."
"There are furry clothes in the quilt bag, you put them on first!"
"good……"
The Taoist followed her instructions.
Only the swallow flew over silently, folded its wings, landed on the crane's back, and stopped beside it.
Only then did he understand——
Ancient God Tianzhong is not that easy to deal with, and it is not that easy for Mr. to win, but after winning, he still makes a relaxed posture, as if he is not tired, and does not consume much mana, just to guard against possible back-up moves by Tiangong, such as
Those priests, heavenly generals, or even more powerful gods.
As for who it is, Yanzi doesn't know.
A few days ago, his ancestor had a long talk with him in a dream. It was said that the Four Saints of the Four Directions were in retreat and would probably not be able to come out in a short time. There was only one Emperor of Nothingness left. I wonder if he would come from the lower world.
There was also Zhou Lei Gong, who was also extraordinary.
Even under the situation of intense mana consumption, Mr. He still repaired the yin and yang four-season magic circle in Heyuan, restored the vast farmland to its original state, and left spiritual power as compensation. This is actually very risky. Ordinary people who lack courage will never be able to do it.
Such a decision.
However, given Mr.'s character, if you don't do this, it will be easy for the Heavenly Palace to discover the clues.
"It's a pity that it's on the back of the crane..."
Sanhua Empress huddled in the Taoist's arms, using her body to warm him, while whispering in a low voice: "Otherwise, Sanhua Empress can light a fire here to keep you warm!"
"Hey..."
The crane seemed to understand and let out a long cry.
When the cat heard this, he kept coaxing him.
Chaotic sounds coexisted with the wind. The Taoist looked at her with a smile. The people burning incense on the edge of the field below looked up at the cranes flying away in the clouds, as if the situation was not that urgent.
