"What a powerful sacred tree...but these missionaries should have some tricks, right?
Otherwise, would you come all this way just to die?"
Just when Tao Xiaowu thought of this, he saw the officiant with gold-edged patterns on his robes stepping out of a carriage.
He had a solemn expression and held a brocade box in his hand: "Dali Dim, under the witness of the Father of Light, and in accordance with the ancient contract, I order you to come out..."
As the brocade box was opened, a marble statue about one foot long was revealed.
Before the statue could be seen clearly, the dark golden power spurted out from the body of the statue, like a fountain, offsetting the power of the sacred tree.
Amid the power of a fountain, a dark golden figure rose slowly, but his appearance was unclear.
Only when he opened his eyes, he could see that it was darkness, a darkness that swallowed everything.
There was a roar, the darkness expanded, the sky and the earth changed color, as if it was about to swallow everything.
Endless darkness entangles the god Mudesa Buka!
However, the ground was shaking violently. Tao Xiaowu could feel that the huge spiritual energy of the earth veins was being extracted by the sacred trees. As countless branches and leaves waved, the wind began to rise and the clouds changed colors.
A creepy feeling crawled out of Tao Xiaowu's back.
Before Tao Xiaowu could realize anything, there was a roar, and a thunderbolt struck straight down, hitting the darkness.
The darkness seemed to be injured, and began to shrink under the thunder, but then one thunder after another crashed down, constantly hitting the black shadow.
"Not good..."
Tao Xiaowu was horrified. Even though he was several miles away and watching from a distance, he was still affected.
A bolt of thunder struck towards Tao Xiaowu. At this time, Tao Xiaowu did not prepare early and saw that he could not escape the thunder. The bad thing was that he would be killed or injured.
Suddenly, two things on Tao Xiaowu trembled slightly.
Chai, it’s Kongqing’s Chai!
A token of the original opening of the cave in Funiu Mountain.
The other item is also a hairpin, which was paid to Tao Xiaowu by the Supreme Lord in the previous instance.
Of course, he had bad intentions and was eventually manipulated by Tao Xiaowu.
However, no matter what, at this time, the two hairpins were shining slightly, as if they were echoing something.
The thunderbolt was about to hit Tao Xiaowu, but at this moment it made a turn and landed more than ten meters away from Tao Xiaowu, creating a shallow pit in the ground and arcing around.
Even Tao Xiaowu felt that his whole body was numb and his hair almost stood on end.
"It's amazing..."
Tao Xiaowu's expression really changed. If he hadn't had two hairpins with him, he would have been struck by lightning this time, and he would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die.
The biggest similarity between the two hairpins is that they are both made of sacred wood.
The hairpin with an empty blue color is said to be carved from the branches of the big osmanthus tree in the Moon Palace.
And the hairpin of Empress Yuanjun is said to have been picked directly from the branches of the Fusang sacred tree.
In short, these two hairpins allowed Tao Xiaowu to avoid disaster.
This made Tao Xiaowu even couldn't help but wonder whether the sacred tree in front of him, known as Dosa Buka, was also related to the so-called four ancient sacred trees!
At this time, the thunder stopped, the darkness shattered, and there was no more movement.
Under the sacred tree of Dosabuka, there was a mess everywhere.
Broken carriages, burnt corpses, all the missionaries and the cavalry of the cavalry regiment, not even a single person survived.
But the sacred tree seemed to have been bitten by something, losing half of its body.
The monkeys in the canopy were also not alive.
It seems that this war ended in a lose-lose situation.
Not only that, under Tao Xiaowu's gaze, the vegetation on the ground, with Dosa Buka as the center, quickly withered, expanding in circles, spreading for dozens of miles.
Tao Xiaowu could feel that it was not just the vegetation that was withering.
But on these lands, all the spiritual vitality has been drained away, and even the underground spiritual veins have been exhausted...
This land will eventually become barren of grass and even gradually turn into desert!
Seeing such a tragic scene, Tao Xiaowu couldn't help but panic.
Tao Xiaowu walked over involuntarily.
A consciousness seemed to be calling him.
Tao Xiaowu walked under the sacred tree, and the ground softened, as if he had been swallowed directly by the earth, and his figure had already appeared in a dark space.
In the dark space, there was only one bright light, shining on a stone bed.
There was a Taoist sitting cross-legged on the stone bed. Half of his body was as crystal clear as jade, but half of his body looked like it was burnt.
When he saw Tao Xiaowu, he smiled softly: "Fellow Taoist, please come!"
Tao Xiaowu was slightly shocked, but he never expected that he would see a Taoist priest here.
In a place like Agulhas, Tao Xiaowu wouldn't be surprised to see an indigenous god.
However, the reality is that now I actually met a Taoist!
However, this Taoist does not look like an immortal, but a god.
His mind was spinning, but Tao Xiaowu said without hesitation: "It turns out that the senior is here. I am a junior who has met the senior!"
The Taoist smiled slightly and said, "No need to be polite. Although I used to be a Qi Practicing Immortal, I have already converted to Shintoism.
In fact, you don't need to be surprised. Although this place is thousands of miles away from the Middle Earth, it is not a place that we can't get involved in.
Yes, this place used to be called Overseas Hezhou!"
"Oh? Then I dare to ask, senior, when did you come here? But you didn't know which Taoist method you practiced before?"
"Haha, it was already a long time ago.
I remember the seventh calamity, the time of the end of the Dharma..."
Tao Xiaowu's face was slightly shaken and became weird.
The so-called seventh calamity was later formed by the ordering of all the great catastrophes experienced by Taoists after the so-called creation of the world.
The so-called seventh calamity is exactly the calamity that Tao Xiaowu experienced in the Dayu time and space!
Because this catastrophe lasted the longest and was the most tragic, it was also called the catastrophe of the end of the Dharma.
Of course, it is also called the calamity of spreading the Dharma!
Because during this catastrophe, the Shinto declined and the Immortal Sect rose.
"Senior was an overseas qigong practitioner?"
"Yes, but at that time we were called overseas Qigong practitioners.
But they all practiced on the islands along the eastern coast, until disaster struck, the spiritual veins changed, and even Qi practitioners like us suffered disaster one after another.
This is why many qi practitioners like me have traveled overseas to the wilderness. Think about how many years have passed..."
This Taoist couldn't help but sigh when Tao Xiaowu reminded him of it.
"Then there were so many Qi practitioners overseas, how come we only saw one senior?" Tao Xiaowu asked again.
