Chapter Seventy-Six: Finding Abbot Island
Not long after Bei Xuan and St. Joseph talked, a convoy of materials drove into the castle. In the car, fifty-two ancient martial arts masters who came from Yanlong were safely seated, and Master Jueran, who was dressed in monk's clothes and smiling, surrounded by everyone, greeted Bei Mingxuan and Pope St. Joseph, who were walking quickly.
The arrival of Master Jue Ran completely solved the problem of Bei Xuan - how to deal with the three magicians. He had to deal with the Demon King, and it was not safe for the Pope and Xiao Yan to stop the three Demon Masters, so he transferred six disciples to come and wanted to trap one with their sword formation, but unfortunately Hai Shaowei and their skills were still weak and they couldn't cooperate effectively, otherwise it would be no problem. Now that Master Jue Ran is here, all problems are solved. What's more, it was not the 20 people he expected, but 46 people, plus the power of the Holy Clan and the Holy See, which was enough to deal with more than 100 Demon Guard-level demon generals. Bei Mingxuan clenched Master Jueran's hand and didn't say any words of thanks, just shook it twice, and then introduced the Pope and others to the master.
The Legion of Light was formed and merged in an orderly manner, and soldiers of Light from all over the world continued to flock to the knight's castle. The Pope and the Holy Envoy will appear separately every few days to boost morale and arrange affairs, and all kinds of ships and materials from the ocean are also being assembled, and it is not surprising that the Crusade will depart in a month and a half. Xinghui and Rose were very frustrated, the Demon Slayer Group did not have their share, and watching Zhang Yihao and them step into the most advanced submarine of Huayi Country that they had secretly transferred, Rose was so angry that he slapped Xinghui.
He said depressedly: "Lord Holy Envoy, please pay attention to the image. My Majesty, Pope, is it disrespectful for you to pat me on the shoulder so much?"
Ross stomped his foot angrily: "This is an underground naval base, there is no eyeliner." I'm so annoyed, not only can't I go to the front line, but I have to pretend to be a master here, boring, boring!"
Soon after Master Jueran arrived, a group of 120 people immediately set off and headed straight for Abbot Island. The use of submarines was a whimsical idea of the Northern Stygian, and his reason was: There is fog on the surface of the sea, but there is no one at the bottom of the sea, right? This stealthy method of action was counted in one fell swoop, first, to make the eyes of the dark forces not know that there was a ship out of the port, second, to avoid the attacks of the dark forces on the islands along the way, and third, to avoid the fog around Abbot Island.
In the submarine cabin, Bei Mingxuan briefly introduced his experience in Xijin and Nanyang and the situation of the war between gods and demons to Master Jueran and others. Later, when chatting with the master alone, he asked what the meaning of the names Tianfu and Tiandao had any connection with the Tianfu Gate and Tiandao Gate in Shushan.
Master Jue Ran shook his head and said: "I don't know this very well, but I have heard that there are six ancestors in Shushan, and the five outer gates have inherited the skills of five of the ancestors, and one of the ancestors has passed down the Ximen family, so there must be some origins." ”
Bei Mingxuan nodded and said: "So that's the case, so Mingyue Mountain Villa and Xihua Mountain have always been the Iron Alliance, the inseparable Iron Alliance. Master, I really didn't expect you to come to participate in this demon eradication operation in person, the junior is really afraid!"
Master Jue Ran said with a smile: "The Holy Envoy has a respected status, and with a call, the old monk should serve himself." ”
Bei Mingxuan knew that the master was laughing with him, but he still stood up and bowed to the ground. Master Jue Ran held him up and said, "Xiao Xuan, don't be polite, you and I have some origins." Inherited from my master's hand, the secret letter is thousands of years old, the secret letter reads: But when you hear that the demon king is present, you will open it. I heard that the two camps of light and darkness in the outer continent are at war, and the demon king of the dark demon temple is about to wake up, so I remembered this secret letter and opened it in the quiet room. ”
Bei Mingxuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and got up and bowed: "See Uncle Shi!"
Jue Ran nodded and accepted the Bei Ming Xuan salute, and after helping him up, he continued: "There is a Buddhist seal attached to the letter, called "King Kong Demon Seal", which is a little different from what my Buddhism has transmitted. I have studied for a long time and can barely perform it, and there is no outstanding person in my disciples who cannot inherit it. You are the elder of the Shushan faction, the first person to rebuild the mountain gate, this Shushan masterpiece is just inherited by you, this is one; This Vajra Demon Seal has a strong restraint effect on demonic nature, and the effect of multiple people is better. Xuan's nephew has broken through the Heavenly Rank now, right? Before he entered the Heavenly Rank, his skills were calm and restrained, already stable, and so unpredictable that even I couldn't perceive it. There's another big opportunity, right?"
Bei Mingxuan said: "Uncle Shi's eyesight is not bad, and in the two days that I waited for Yanlong to come to help, I tried to break out of the heavenly steps. It was also a momentary heartbeat and felt a glimmer of opportunity, firstly, there was the five elements of the Elven Sacred Lake running through the top, and secondly, in the end, the Holy Spirit raised the body refining method Vajra to the peak, and the body meridians were stable. When impacting the heavenly steps, the golden light transformed by the golden crown when the Holy Spirit was crowned was released in the dantian, and under the churning of the internal force, it felt that only some golden light was fused, and the internal qi naturally condensed and the liquid did not lag, so it was successfully promoted in just two days, and the master and nephew still felt lucky. ”
Jue Ran shook his head and said, "This is not a fluke, but also because of accumulation." Although your cultivation days are short, your fortune is profound and the adventures are continuous, and the trials of the sacred races are the fate of your entry into the heavenly level. This is something that the sages have already arranged, if you have not reached the heavenly level, no matter how strong the body protection technique is, I am afraid that you will not be able to fight the demon king. Not to mention the Demon King, now you can't learn the Vajra Demon Seal. ”
Bei Mingxuan nodded and said, "This paragraph, I advanced too fast, the demon king is in trouble, and I need to retreat for a while." ”
Master Jue Ran said, "This is the meaning of the question, and if you have this enlightenment, it will not be in vain for the Holy Spirit to work hard. There are still a few days left on Abbot Island, so you can study the Demon Seal, and it may have a miraculous effect. ”
The Northern Darkness Xuan promised to study the Vajra Demon Seal under the guidance of Jueran. This seal is divided into three parts: handprint, seal, and internal qi operation, and the three parts must be coordinated and tacitly agreed to be considered a masterpiece. After Dacheng, he first made 108 times to form a mother seal at the upper dantian, and then he could cast the spell. Even if the Northern Darkness Xuan Gong is smart and wise, coupled with strong spiritual power, this seal can only be considered proficient after practicing for a whole day.
Master Jue Ran praised him for his skill and knowledge, and he had studied Buddhism for nearly 100 years, and it took him three days to practice this seal. The Northern Darkness Xuan Condensing God will seal the seal 108 times in a row, and unlike Jue Ran, his mother seal, a swastika seal shining with golden light, appeared in the sea of consciousness, not the upper dantian. As the number of seals increases, the gold of the mother seal becomes more and more intense. After 108 times, he felt that he could continue to strengthen it, so he continued to cast the seal, until he had made it three times and 108 times, and he did not feel the change, and the mother seal had faintly revealed purple light.
The Sea of Consciousness is one of his core secrets, and even Hai Ling and his parents have not told him, and it is not easy to ask Master Jue Ran for advice. He didn't know that this seal was originally a spiritual Dharma of the Buddhist Sect, and it was supposed to appear in the Sea of Consciousness to merge with the caster's soul and enhance the effectiveness of the attack. Moreover, this demon duel is not only an attack effect, but also the biggest role is to protect the sea of consciousness, which is the top-level law in the Buddhist cultivation method.
After the mother seal was completed, Jue Ran joined him in the execution, and Jue Ran's child seal shone like gold. And the golden color of the sub-seal of the North Shadow Xuan faintly revealed a purple treasure light, which seemed to be more condensed than Jueran's seal. Jue Ran was very surprised, this shows that Bei Mingxuan's internal power is purer than him, and his spiritual power is also more mellow than him, is this possible?
The submarine has been underwater for seven days and has approached the waters off Hojo Island. Since there were no islands in this area, Kita Mingxuan and the others surfaced to observe the fog around Hojo Island from a distance. The fog in front of him covered the sky and the sun as far as the sun could be, and the sea and sky in front of him were completely shrouded in mist. After everyone saw it, the submarine dived again, and the main force in the search for Abbot Island was the submarine's sonar system. At the bottom of the sea, this technological means is really much more effective than the legendary monastic divine consciousness.
Johansen was asked about the island and their experience of navigating through the fog, and Johansen was immersed in deep memories. Sailing in the fog is completely devoid of targets and references, visibility is only 3-5 meters, and the people in the same boat cannot see each other clearly, let alone the situation in the sea. Just slowly turning around in the fog, in fact, the instruments for identifying the direction are just decorations, comforting and comforting. In the fog, people's spirits are very depressed and emotionally depressed. When Hojo Island was first discovered, there was no fog around the island for about 10 kilometers, but it was also shrouded in it, and sunlight could not penetrate directly at all. The whole environment was dark and damp, and of course it was much better than being stuck in a fog.
When I found Abbot Island, everyone cheered in unison, but then came the real nightmare. The circumference of Abbot Island is more than 50 kilometers, and nearly 2,000 square kilometers is not small. Once on the island, they were discovered by the inhabitants of the island, who were all dark believers and hated them, but they were ordinary civilians with no dark abilities. The soldiers of the Crusade Legion did not embarrass them, and several residents who looked like village chiefs took the initiative to take them to the Dark Demon Temple. After finding it, I realized that these people were not kind, and they were just sent to death earlier.
They saw a huge castle built on a tall mountain, with a high wall enclosing half of the island. The walls were filled with dark warriors in armor with sharp weapons in their hands, but what they saw was far more than the number of the detachment. The captain of the detachment is a divine guard of the Thor Clan, and he comforts everyone that these are probably armed by civilians, and no matter how many troops without special abilities there are, they are not afraid. Everyone bravely attacked, but it backfired, and when the overwhelming elemental arrows and dark magic shrouded the city walls, everyone was stunned.
Eight Guardian-level demon generals jumped off the city wall with a large number of dark warriors, beheading one of the loyal warriors of the Ranks. The Thunder God Clan's Divine Guard was particularly brave, and after he and several priests held up the Holy Light Shield, they decisively ordered the whole team to retreat. Everyone fled back to the ship, but fortunately the ship was still there and no one came to destroy it, and what was even stranger was that there were no pursuers.
After boarding the ship, the number of people was counted, and almost all of them were wounded, the captain of the Divine Guard returned with serious injuries, and only 2 of the 8 priests returned. The captain immediately ordered the anchor to be lifted, not wanting to delay for a minute, Johansen's eldest brother died to protect him. After saying this, the respected old patriarch couldn't help but shed tears, and everyone was gloomy.
"War is always cruel, and today's warriors of the light bear the responsibility of destroying demons and defending the way, and they are alone and go deep into the dark demon temple at the heart of darkness without hesitation. No one knows what to expect, whether it will be a well-prepared siege or an unsuspecting panic. Whether it will be a tragic fight or a smooth blockade is impossible to predict. But since you have followed the Holy Spirit's oracle and embarked on a journey, you will not hesitate to fight for the light!" the Pope's speech made everyone's expressions solemn.
Bei Mingxuan continued: "This will be a difficult battle, in order for the light to shine on the earth, for human beings to live peacefully and happily on the land of the blue star, even if it is to sacrifice us, we will not hesitate to fight." ”
Everyone shouted in unison: "For the sake of light, do not hesitate to fight, for the sake of light, do not hesitate to fight." ”
The officers of the Huayi State who carried out the search mission entered the capsule and reported to the Pope that a large island had been detected 50 kilometers ahead. The Pope instructed to dive into a range of 10 kilometers and then raise the periscope to observe, and as expected, ahead was Abbot Island, Patriarch Johansen told everyone with certainty.
On the 50-kilometer radius of Hojo Island, there is a high mountain to the north, and the cliffs along the coast are smooth and steep, and the sea breeze is strong, so ordinary people cannot climb it at all. Beneath the mountain is a flat land that stretches to the sandy beach facing the sea to the south. At the end of the beach, there is a natural steep slope that shelters the waves from the waves, making it ideal for agricultural production. Fresh springs flow through the small plains all year round and flow into the sea in the south to meet the drinking and irrigation needs of the islanders.
The entire island is seen from afar, and the coastal zone, including the top of the mountain, has built a tower lookout, and the figures on the platform are longing, and the reflection of the high-power high-power telescope is flickering. The island is heavily fortified, and it is unlikely that you will be able to force your way to the island from the front, and it is conceivable that the island must be heavily guarded now. No matter how proud they are, they don't dare to say that they can use the strength of 120 people to destroy the dark army of 20,000 people.
In the blink of an eye, it was dark, and Kita-myxen instructed the submarine to dive and approach Hojo Island from the cliff in the northern part of the island. All 120 people came out of the cabin from the water and swam to the bottom of the cliff, at a height of more than 500 meters, the sentry on the top of the cliff would not see the situation at the bottom of the cliff if they did not lie on the edge of the cliff. Bei Mingxuan's five senses were keen, and he immediately found a spot and surfaced under a protruding boulder in the middle of the cliff. Xiao Hong and the other 6 people quickly took out the equipment, set up a floating platform at the bottom of the cliff under the boulder, and after fixing it, everyone boarded the platform. Taking off the wetsuit and changing into armor, vests or power suits, the North Wind and the North Wind and the North Wind pull out the camouflage net from the base of the platform to cover the platform, and the platform immediately merges into the overall cliff.
Li Yirong took out a lockbox one foot wide and one foot five long from his backpack. After opening a laptop, there were more than thirty bee-like objects neatly arranged. Li Yirong started the computer, and after some operation, the bees flew up one by one, scattered in the blink of an eye. After a while, the computer screen flashed, and thirty-six small screens appeared on the screen in rapid change. This is an upgraded version of the Hummingbird-class unmanned reconnaissance vehicle, a Bee-level reconnaissance device, which is smaller and more concealed, and has holographic imaging capabilities. After a while, dozens of rays of light shot out from the back of the computer, and in front of the computer, a holographic light and shadow image formed, which was the cliff they were on, and the flashing green dots at the bottom of the cliff were their current location.
The holographic cliff continued to rise, and soon reached the top of the cliff, and the nine guards in the clifftop sentry platform all shrank in the sentry platform and took turns looking at the sea, no one came out to blow the wind, and no one went to check the situation under the cliff. The scouts quickly spread out across the island, and the hologram of the North Mountain of Abbot Island gradually revealed its full picture. Then Zhang Yihao and Ding Yihua respectively took out the lockbox, opened it and activated, and 72 bees rose into the air. These little bees are different from the previous ones, their function is mainly fixed-point monitoring, and the flight altitude is much lower, and the three small bees are fixed at three guard platforms.
