Chapter eight hundred and ninety seventh Vulcan retreat
In Chang'an, Lin Ze took the battle report and read with a slight frown: "A supremely powerful man who calls himself the God of Fire has set up a sea of fire to block the way. Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling was seriously injured and failed to recapture Nanyun Province."
The guy who could seriously injure Zhang Daoling, who was at the peak of the second realm, and who called himself the God of Fire, must be a third-level celestial being.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze's body swayed, disappeared from the lobby, came to the garden, and found Zhuang Zhou who was sleeping in the pavilion.
Zhuang Zhou, who was originally snoring loudly, quickly got up after Lin Ze arrived and asked: "Junior brother, what do you want from me?"
Lin Ze handed over the battle report and asked, "Senior brother, have you ever heard of a powerful third-level celestial being named Vulcan?"
Zhuang Zhou took the battle report, glanced at it, and said with a strange expression: "God of Fire? Junior brother may have heard of his other name, the God of Nanzhao."
"Nanzhao Heavenly God? It's actually him," Lin Ze said with a look of surprise on his face, and then pointedly said: "Junior brother remembers that senior brother said that there are only a few strong people in the third realm of heaven and man outside the three religions.
Why did another one appear?"
Zhuang Zhou said with an innocent face: "Strictly speaking, the God of Fire, like the Lord of Mount Tai, is not the authentic third realm of heaven and man, but a powerful Shinto comparable to the third realm, so it does not count as senior brother deceiving you."
Lin Ze said angrily: "After all, senior brother is right. Forget it, let's not mention this matter. I wonder if senior brother can defeat the Vulcan?"
Zhuang Zhou declined and said: "Why should I intervene? Wouldn't it be better for my junior brother to let the God of Mount Tai go? They are both powerful Shinto men, and they seem to be old acquaintances. Maybe the matter can be easily resolved without fighting."
"
"Besides, the God of Fire became a Taoist in ancient times, and his cultivation is unfathomable. I am not completely sure of repelling him."
Lin Ze's face was solemn: "Even senior brother is not sure that he can deal with this Vulcan?"
Zhuang Zhou was about to respond when suddenly a thousand paper cranes appeared out of thin air, and the Taoist sage's voice came from it: "Zhuang Zhou, Buddhism broke the agreement and asked the god of fire, who is equivalent to the third realm of heaven and human beings, to take action. You go to Nanyun and properly
Solve this matter."
Zhuang Zhou looked depressed and bowed to Qianzhihe: "Disciple, I obey."
Upon seeing this, Lin Ze said with a solemn tone: "Senior brother, aren't you not completely sure? Why is the teacher so sure that you can handle this matter properly?"
Zhuang Zhou laughed dryly and said, "Isn't it normal for a teacher to have confidence in the disciples he taught?"
Then Zhuang Zhou said righteously: "Junior brother, don't worry, senior brother will do his best to clear the obstacles for you and help you conquer the world."
Lin Ze rolled his eyes, I believed you and tried your best.
Lin Ze absolutely did not believe that with the power of Taoist Saint, Zhuang Zhou would be allowed to take action if he was not sure of it.
Zhuang Zhou knew that he could not deceive Lin Ze, so he laughed dryly and said: "Junior brother, wait a moment, I will go and solve this matter."
Lin Ze quickly stopped Zhuang Zhou and said, "Senior brother, wait a minute."
Zhuang Zhou asked with confusion on his face: "Junior brother, why did you stop me?"
Lin Ze smiled slightly and said: "Junior brother wants to go with him, just in time to see his invincible style as a saint."
Zhuang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What's the matter? Junior brother wants to go, so we can go together."
Lin Ze looked at Zhuang Zhou who was about to ride on the wind and stopped him again: "Senior brother, don't be anxious."
Zhuang Zhou looked helpless: "What's wrong?"
Lin Ze said seriously: "Brother, please wait a moment. Junior brother goes to find Lord Shen and go with him. If the Vulcan is really troublesome, senior brother will join forces with Lord Shen to show him how powerful he is."
Zhuang Zhou was speechless for a while. Just now he said he wanted to see my invincible demeanor as a saint. Now he decided to find a helper for me?
Lin Ze didn't care what Zhuang Zhou thought. He left these words behind and ran directly to a mansion near the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum to explain the matter to the God of Mount Tai.
After hearing this, Lord Taishan laughed and said: "Zhuang Sheng guessed it right. There really was a friendship between the little god and the fire god. Since they are old acquaintances, the little god should go there."
A moment later, three figures left Chang'an and headed straight for the border between Shu and Nanyun Province.
…
In the Nanyue camp, the God of Fire, who was receiving devout worship from his people at the altar, suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky, with a look of fear on his face.
The figures of Lin Ze and the others who came from Chang'an appeared in mid-air, and their eyes fell on the God of Fire on the altar.
The God of Fire looked back and said in a deep voice: "Daomenya Shengzhuang Zhou, our old acquaintance, the Tiger King, is here. I am sorry to welcome him from afar."
In the eyes of the God of Fire, only Zhuang Zhou and Shenjun Taishan were as powerful as him, and Lin Ze, who was in the second realm of heaven and human beside them, was as insignificant as air.
Lin Ze was quite happy with this kind of treatment. At least he wouldn't attract hostility if there was a fight later.
Zhuang Zhou, who was standing in the middle, replied: "I haven't seen you for many years. The God of Fire is even more elegant than before."
The God of Fire couldn't deny it and said, "I wonder what you two are doing here today?"
Zhuang Zhou got down to business and said, "I came here specifically for the God of Fire."
The Vulcan looked wary and said, "Oh, how can I be so proud?"
Zhuang Zhou chuckled lightly and said: "According to the agreement between the Taoist Palace and Buddhism, during this great catastrophe, the realm of heaven and man must not be easily mixed up to prevent the tribulation energy from entering the body."
"The God of Fire, as a famous and powerful person in ancient times, forcibly interferes with the running of the world. Is he really not afraid of thunder from heaven?"
A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Vulcan's mouth and he said: "Raining thunder from the sky? Zhuang Sheng seems to have forgotten his origin. I know better than you whether it will cause a backlash from heaven."
Lin Ze suddenly interjected: "The laws of heaven are impermanent. It is normal for the God of Fire to have different understandings. However, since the Dao Palace and Buddhism have agreed not to take action easily, how can the God of Fire, as an ally of Buddhism, openly violate the agreement?"
Vulcan looked disdainfully and said, "When did the agreement between Dao Palace and Buddhism become the incarnation of Heavenly Dao? Do Dao Palace and Buddhism have this qualification?"
Zhuang Zhou took a step forward and said: "Whether you are qualified or not, it is not your turn to comment. God of Fire, I would like to advise you, take back the sea of fire as soon as possible, don't make any mistakes."
Vulcan narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold tone: "Are you threatening me? Why do you do that?"
Zhuang Zhou chuckled softly when he heard this, and countless butterflies appeared. Half of them danced gracefully and flew towards the God of Fire, while the other half landed on the sea of fire.
The sea of fire that had been burning for three days without any sign of extinguishing gradually disappeared, as if it had been eaten by butterflies.
The God of Fire had a solemn look on his face. It was surprising that Zhuang Zhou, a rising star, had such a terrifying level of cultivation.
But the God of Fire was not intimidated by Zhuang Zhou's momentum. Two fire dragons flew out of his sleeves and took the initiative to attack Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou said without fear: "Does the God of Fire dare to follow me into the Nine Heavens Battle?"
Vulcan snorted coldly: "Isn't it just a battle? I am waiting for you above the nine heavens."
After saying this, the two figures flew towards the nine heavens and disappeared.
Lin Ze just wanted to follow him, but was caught by the Lord Taishan.
Lin Ze looked puzzled: "What does the Lord God mean?"
The Lord Taishan smiled and said: "The conflict between heaven and man in the third realm is too strong. The king should not get too close. Besides, it is difficult for ordinary people to see anything from it. The gain outweighs the loss."
Lin Ze followed the good example and hid far away, waiting for the results to appear.
Half an hour later, Vulcan fell from the sky and entered the Nanyue camp without saying a word.
Then there was a commotion in the camp, and an order was spread throughout the camp: "Abandon this land and withdraw to Nanzhao."
Since it was the gods who issued the edict, even if the people of Nanzhao had various reasons, they would not fall in love with him.
