"Southern? Do you have to go to Xuzhou?" The store owner was taking the key from Song You and couldn't help but be surprised.
"almost."
"Could it be that Mr. Mister has to make it through those hundreds of miles of barren mountains?" The shopkeeper frowned.
"The store owner doesn't have to worry."
"Sir, you can't go there! That road has been abandoned by the government for many years, and it has become a world of goblins and ghosts. In the early years, only a few brave businessmen dared to walk there. In recent years, the number of goblins and ghosts in the world has increased.
There are so many, even many businessmen don’t pass there, the people who go there are those who are looking for goblins and ghosts!”
The shopkeeper paused as he spoke, his mouth drying up in a hurry:
"It's okay to say that Mr. used to take that road in the past. After all, although there are few people passing there, they are often there. It's not common to hear of people being killed by monsters in that mountain. However, I don't know what happened these past two days.
, thunder in winter, thunder even on sunny days, thunder without rain, people in the city said it was a strange phenomenon from heaven and earth, and they were afraid that something big was going to happen. Yesterday, I even heard that many people were running out of the mountains hundreds of miles to the south.
Mountain beasts and wild birds fly out, and there are monsters among them. I don’t know what is going on there. To be safe, it is best to go to the mountains to encounter monsters and ghosts, or people who come from Hezhou to visit the mountain gods in the mountains.
Don't go in at this time."
The shopkeeper held the key in his hand and stared at the Taoist, his anxiety was palpable, and he almost tugged at his clothes.
The Taoist smiled.
The shopkeeper saw him smiling and thought he didn't believe it, so he became even more anxious.
But I just heard the Taoist say with a smile:
"The kindness in the shop owner's heart seems to be a bit better than that of the old shop owner."
"What?"
The store owner was confused for a moment.
"We will say goodbye now." The Taoist continued to smile and salute him. "If the shopkeeper returns to his hometown and sees your father, he can say hello for us and tell your father that we have come back to eat this bowl of soup cake.
, not a person without faith."
The store owner was stunned on the spot.
But the Taoist turned around and left.
The bag slung on the left side moved for a while, and a furry head poked out, with a slightly flowery color and a pair of eyes like glass and amber, staring straight at him.
The store owner was stunned.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and hurriedly chased out the door to see, but there was no sign of the fairy on the street.
…
As soon as the Taoist stepped out of Nanhua County, the thunder above his head became faster and more violent, as if it was exploding overhead.
The wind and clouds in the sky were changing, and human figures were faintly visible.
The Taoist waved his hand as he walked.
"call……"
Fog naturally forms on the ground, and wind blows from the sky for no apparent reason.
The fog rose into clouds and was pulled by the wind, turning into a lower layer of clouds, covering the sun, covering the sky clouds, and blocking the gaze of the gods peering down.
"call……"
The gods in the sky also blew the wind, trying to blow away the clouds and mist that the Taoist had summoned.
Golden light and white light emitted from the clouds again.
It was other gods who were opening their eyes wide, trying to penetrate the clouds and mist with their magical powers and see the scene below.
At this time, the battle between the two sides began.
The Taoist was not in a hurry and continued walking.
At the same time, he patted the gauze belt around his waist.
"What's wrong? You've already left the city. How about Sanhua Empress continuing to hide in her robe?"
"That's not what I meant."
"Then why do you take pictures of Sanhua Empress?"
"It's just because I'm about to go to the mountains to visit the mountain gods. I'm afraid I'll have to fight with the gods and cause chaos. Just now Sanhua Empress also heard it. The innkeeper said that there are many goblins and ghosts running out of the mountains in front, and I'm worried about them.
Come to the city and take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble." Song You spoke calmly, lowering his head as he spoke, and looked at Mao'er who was picking up the edge of his trousers, sticking his head out and then raising his head. From Mao'er's sparkling eyes
I saw something else, so I paused for a moment and temporarily adjusted my words——
"First of all, Sanhua Empress is young after all. Although she has excellent talents and rapid progress in Taoism and practice, she is still not as good as those thousands of years of ancient gods in the Heavenly Palace. If I go with you, even if they don't necessarily embarrass Sanhua Empress
and Yanzi, I am afraid that they may be accidentally injured. Secondly, I also want to ask Sanhua Empress and Yanzi to stay in the city and watch over the people in the city to prevent the goblins and ghosts who escaped from the barren mountains from causing trouble."
Added some honesty to it.
Empress Sanhua raised her head and looked at him, her eyes flickering. After a long time, there was a burst of crickets in the robe. After finding a point of strength, she jumped out and landed on the ground.
Sanhua Empress didn't speak, just stared at him.
In the past two or three years, I have become accustomed to this.
"I'm sorry to trouble Empress Sanhua and Yan An."
The Taoist put down the robe and brocade bag in his hand. He only took away Yanzi's "Nothing left empty" and then walked forward.
The cat sat on the same spot, and the swallow also sat on the tree nearby, all staring at the Taoist's back.
There is no expression on either the cat's face or the bird's face.
If the figure is blocked by vegetation and cannot be seen, the cat will stand up like a human. If it cannot be seen even after standing up, it will climb up a tree. Until it can no longer be seen anyway, she will stand up from the tree with a serious face.
Come down, head towards Nanhua County, and get into the grass.
"call……"
The wind in the sky finally dispersed the clouds.
The eyes of several priests and generals were like light, shining downwards, searching for the Taoist figure on the mountain road.
The Taoist no longer blocked their sight.
There are many capable people in the Heavenly Palace, they are not idiots, and they all have their own strengths and specialties. The Taoists have learned too much, and even if they are profound in Taoism, it is difficult to compare with them in these aspects.
It's morning now.
Not far away from Nanhua County, the road becomes more and more remote, and there are fewer and fewer villages and houses on the road. Even if there are, there are only a few thatched houses scattered in the mountains. An old road overgrown with grass is reflected by an endless mountain.
Catching the eye.
The Taoist walked into the mountain alone, leaning on a bamboo stick.
"Rumble..."
The thunder above my head was like a drum, as if it was about to break people's hearts.
The Taoist had just climbed over a mountain, not far from the road at the foot of the mountain. Judging from the vastness of this mountain, just as he stepped into the range of this mountain, the dense altocumulus clouds above his head parted, and a black spot grew from small to large.
At first, above the dome, even the cumulus clouds appeared to be only the size of a fingernail. This black spot was almost invisible. However, in just a few breaths, it grew larger and larger.
Gradually the cumulus clouds cover the sun, casting large tracts of shadow on the ground.
Looking up, I saw a large square seal.
The ancient characters on the seal read:
press down on heaven and earth;
The past and present of Shangzhen.
The Taoist vaguely remembers that the Fulong Temple literature mentioned that this square seal ribbon is the treasure of the ancient god, the Western Yuansheng, one of the four saints in the four directions.
But the Taoist was not in a hurry.
Because this large seal is too big and too high, there is a distance between heaven and earth, and it cannot fall down in a moment.
Just when the big seal was getting closer and closer to the ground, and the astonishing spiritual power and pressure coming from it could be clearly felt, the earth in the mountain suddenly rumbled, and the spiritual energy boiled.
"Rumble..."
Mountain rocks formed pillars, bucking the trend and rising into the sky.
The mountains are divided into southeast and northwest, and four steep mountains suddenly rise up, like the pillars supporting the sky in myths and legends, and they suddenly hit the bottom of this big seal.
At this time, the seal was very close to the ground, probably only a few hundred feet high, and it almost completely blocked the sunlight. If the seal ribbon itself was not glowing, you would not even be able to see the words underneath. It is difficult to imagine how heavy and heavy this seal is.
How powerful.
When the two sides collided, there was a shocking sound.
When the mountain touched the bottom of the seal, the top of the mountain quickly collapsed, debris flew everywhere, like meteors falling to the ground, and cracks appeared vaguely on the mountain.
However, the four high mountains were like four pillars holding up the sky, steadily holding down the big seal.
"Why do the gods of the heavenly palace and the four saints from all directions come to smash my mountain realm?"
The dull sound sounded from among the mountains. It was unknown which mountain it came from, and it seemed that every mountain was making a sound.
"snort!"
There was a cold groan from the sky.
"boom!"
The whole body of the big seal glowed with red light, making the mountains on the ground turn red. It gained a little more weight and pressed down.
The four pillars supporting the sky suddenly cracked.
"Rumble..."
The rocks in the middle of the mountain rose again, forming a huge hand that stretched upward.
The big seal was immediately supported again.
After a while, the big seal turned into a small one and flew into the sky.
The sun is shining again.
There are already many gods standing in the sky.
The four saints in the four directions, the Yang Saint in the east, the gold saint in the south, the Yuan Saint in the west, and the fighting saint in the north, each with his disciples, occupy one side. Two strange Buddhas sit cross-legged on the lotus platform, and there are Bodhisattvas behind them a little further away.
Arhat, disciple disciple.
There are also some priests and generals, two from the Nine Star Kings, one from the Four Marshals, and a small number from the Twenty-Eight Stars, some in the middle.
For a moment, the divine light flashed, and the precious light was dazzling.
"I have long heard that there is an innate mountain god in the mortal world. He has great power, but he is not willing to obey the discipline of the heavenly palace. I just took this opportunity to destroy him in one fell swoop!"
The voice of the Western Yuansheng came from above.
She is the only woman among the Four Saints.
Although it was a female voice, it was very cold, and she had no intention of chatting with the Pingzhou Mountain God. Since Tiangong had already intended to eradicate him, and they had known that he had joined forces with Song You, they did not even want to say a word of persuasion.
The arrogance of the ancient gods is evident.
Hearing this, the Pingzhou Mountain God also said nothing.
It was just a sudden change in the world without any sound.
These hundreds of miles of mountains are the cradle of the mountain gods of Pingzhou. The mountain gods are the mountains, and the mountain gods are the mountain gods. This is his territory.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is obviously far away from the sky, and is gathering around the Taoist and in the earth. The incense and aspiration power flowing continuously from all around are also hindered. The earth here is resisting the gods.
"Rumble..."
The earth trembled, and the mountains hundreds of miles away seemed to come alive. The mountains moved like dragons and snakes.
The four saints from all directions also showed their true bodies.
In an instant, the magical weapons of divine light from the sky descended one after another, but instead of hitting the Taoist, they blasted towards the mountains on the ground, trying to break the mountain boundary of the mountain god first.
Suddenly everything collapsed.
"The gods live in the sky, and we are on the ground. Fighting like this is really not good for the mountain gods, so please ask them to come down."
The Taoist said, took out a feather fan and fanned it forward.
The gods in the sky were not careful, and suddenly they dropped like dumplings.
