The rainstorm became heavier and heavier, and when the rain hit Yang Chen, the lightning flashes instantly turned him into blue smoke.
Yang Chen glanced around the surroundings solemnly, and suddenly a thunderbolt from his palm struck a big tree next to the town and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, he retreated into the town like lightning.
This place has been exposed, and the Rain Master Talisman has been taken away, so there is no way to erect a statue. Staying here will only attract further attacks, so it is better to retreat.
The rest of the Taiping Sect members immediately withdrew, quickly retreating into the town and heading to the other side.
In this case, they should be able to withdraw from the other side and enter the mountain.
"Chase." Mingyang blocked the rain with his true energy and was about to catch up, but was stopped by Zhong Shenxiu.
"Don't give up the chase," Zhong Shenxiu's figure appeared in front, blocking the path of pursuit. He just heard him say, "It's important to settle the people."
Although this fierce battle lasted only a short time, it had a considerable impact on the people. Even if Zhong Shenxiu and Mingyang deliberately asked the people to leave before entering the venue, some people would inevitably be injured or even die.
There were many people wailing on the ground right now.
the most important is······
Mingyang looked towards the town and saw figures blocking the road in the rain, staring at him with fearful and resentful eyes.
"These people have all surrendered to the Taiping Religion, Senior Brother Zhong..."
Mingyang was about to admonish him, but he saw Zhong Shenxiu's indifferent eyes swept away, and there was a sudden sting where his eyes fell, as if a knife blade had pierced his chest.
"Benevolent people love others, do you need me to teach you?" Zhong Shenxiu said lightly, "Before, you hurt others out of necessity. Now you are actively hurting others. Aren't you afraid of the Tao Fruit's backlash?"
"What is Tao and Fruit? The fruit of the Tao. If you allow its fruit, you must follow the Tao. If you tolerate the Tao and Fruit of a gentleman, you should follow the Tao and Fruit of a gentleman. Even if it is completely integrated, you must not violate it easily. Your Tao and Fruit ability, now
How much effect is left?"
Mingyang was silent for a moment.
Because his ability as a gentleman has indeed declined.
[Wealth cannot be lascivious] and [Might cannot be subdued] are not good feelings, [poorness cannot be moved] because it affects the body's ability, Mingyang can clearly detect the weakening.
"Place the people, and if anyone tries to cause trouble, they will be captured directly. Those who are violent can be killed."
Zhong Shenxiu looked at the big tree that was hit by the lightning in his palm, and said: "Let everyone pay attention, there must be die-hard Taiping Sect followers among the people."
Yang Chen struck the big tree with the thunder in his palm, not to vent his anger, but to remind Zhong Shenxiu that he could attack the people in the town at any time. If he was really pressed, Yang Chen would definitely use the people as hostages to facilitate his retreat.
.
If Zhong Shenxiu insists on pursuing him, it will be difficult for the people in this town to survive.
"Yes." Mingyang responded.
Zhong Shenxiu glanced at him, the indifference in his eyes gradually faded away, and he became a little more humane, "In my Confucian practice, the most important thing is the heart. If the heart is flawed, no matter how high the realm is, it will be nothing more than a castle in the air.
.Remember to be clear about your body and mind at all times, so as not to let your loyal heart become dusty."
"I would like to listen to my senior brother's teachings."
Mingyang bowed his head, and then said: "Senior brother, do you still want to pray for rain tomorrow as usual?"
"as usual."
Zhong Shenxiu said leisurely: "This time I killed the Yao Shen Sect's Floating River Dragon in the White Mountains and Black Waters, and got his dragon beads. Before returning, I used the dragon beads to collect a river, which was enough to buy Fufeng County some time.
Take advantage of this time to transport water clouds from the three states, and the drought will be relieved by then."
"Senior Brother, Shenwei." Hearing this, Mingyang bowed again and bowed deeply.
The dragon has dragon beads, and the dragon also has dragon beads, which are the crystallization of its body's strength and have the ability to absorb water.
However, in today's world, the real demons are almost extinct. The demon cultivators find out that they are also human beings. If the dragon's Tao Fruit is contained in the human body, if the dragon bead is to be condensed, the dragon must be completely transformed. That also means that this dragon
It has reached the sixth level of perfection, and the only thing left to reach the fifth level is the Taoist fruits and rituals.
Being able to kill this dragon shows how talented Zhong Shen is, and Mingyang is naturally amazed.
"What about the Rain Master's talisman?"
"As long as the Rain Master's Talisman is not in the hands of the Taiping Sect, it's not a bad thing. Now that the Talisman has been taken away by someone, I can just take a look and see how many people in Yongzhou are worried about the world being in chaos."
Zhong Shenxiu stood in the rain, looking at the vast rain curtain, "Let's see how many of them can try my sword."
······
······
On the other side, Yang Chen led his men to retreat into the mountains. Seeing that the pursuers had not yet arrived, they stopped temporarily.
His thunder eyes flashed with lightning, and he suddenly stared at the young Taoist priest who was following him, "Where is Taoist Mingzhen?"
In terms of who Yang Chen was most dissatisfied with during this fierce battle, it was the two Taoist priests from the Shangqing Sect.
After all, Xiao Jiuniang made an appearance, Taoist Master Mingzhen attacked Zhong Shenxiu with one move, "One Qi Big Grab", and then disappeared without even showing his face.
If he were a member of the Taiping Sect, Yang Chen would have already struck him down with a thunderbolt, and Ming Zhengdian would have punished him.
When attacking one's own people, one should strike at the right opportunity and meet the enemy, not even fishing on the edge, without even seeing the person.
"Young Master Yang, please calm down for the time being."
Fang Yesheng faced those thunderous eyes with a dark heart, but he still maintained his airs and said calmly: "It is inconvenient for our sect to reveal its identity, so we have to hide in secret. This is also for the sake of future plans. I hope you will forgive me."
"In addition, my uncle has secretly followed the two sneaky people pretending to be members of your sect. We only need to follow the marks left by our uncle to catch up with these two people and retrieve the Rain Master Talisman.
"
Why expose your identity inconveniently? Isn’t it just to get away?
As long as they are not openly enemies of the imperial court, even if it is discovered that the Shangqing Sect is colluding with the Taiping Sect, the imperial court will still tolerate it.
He cherishes his own life while doing great things. No wonder he has been suppressed by the imperial court and the Three Emperors Faction for so many years.
Yang Chen sneered at this so-called difficulty, but seeing that Taoist Mingzhen had followed the enemy, he would not pursue it now.
"Lead the way." He said immediately.
The most urgent task is to recover the Rain Master Talisman.
Yang Chen took the lead and went ahead with several masters, flying through the mountains and forests, while the remaining members of the congregation evacuated to other villages and towns.
Linshan Town is not the only village and town that the Taiping Sect has secretly assimilated. Any place where there is no township head appointed by the imperial court, that is, a cultivator who accommodates the land's justice and fruit, there are traces of the Taiping Sect's presence.
Linshan Town became a temporary place for everyone just because it was the closest to the county town.
Without this place, there is another place.
Unknowingly, the Taiping Sect had spread throughout Yongzhou.
At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and even a few miles away from Linshan Town, the torrential rain could still be seen.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
In mid-air, Feng Manlou hurriedly called to stop, "The rain master Fu Zhao is spreading rain continuously. If it continues, there will be a severe drought in the surrounding counties."
