Chapter 256: Jin Yue Felling Demon Wood
"Lady Zhenlong? Slightly heard. Zhao Xiao looked at the huge wooden statue and said: "A thousand years ago, the Golden Eye Demon King occupied the mountains, rivers and lakes and divided one side, and there were many water tribe demons under his command who made waves, often agitating floods and infringing on the people.
Later, the immortals suppressed the demons in the lower realm, and the immortal Yunhuajun suppressed an evil dragon with great mana, and mortals did not know its name, calling it Mrs. Zhenlong, and later included it in the rituals of the Tianxia Dynasty. However, I remember that there is a saying in ancient books that Yunhuajun is the appearance of a young girl, why is this statue of an old woman? β
"I guess the people think that the old woman is more dignified and reliable, right?" Qian Shaobai said helplessly: "The people may not be able to distinguish the difference between the immortals and gods, they worship Mrs. Zhenlong, and what they ask for is nothing more than smooth wind and rain, stable rivers, and more is to pray for more sons and more blessings, family and prosperity." β
Zhao Xiao nodded slightly: "It's a pity that such a statue of a righteous god is now being stolen by demons." Under the solemn appearance, it is full of yin and evil blood. β
"Ignorant mortals, if they see this god, why don't they worship?" At this time, the wooden statue of Mrs. Zhenlong came alive, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, and her mouth was full of words, although she made the voice of an old woman, her tone was not kind and solemn, but more coercive.
"Seeing you manipulating the vines, I think it's a tree spirit and a wood monster." Zhao Xiao said unceremoniously: "If you are your generation, clinging to wooden statues and pretending to be gods is already against the righteousness of Shinto, and as for making trouble, it is even more appropriate to be punished." And you pretended to be in a comatose situation, killing all the creatures in the city, and there was no other end than the destruction of the body and spirit! β
When Qian Shaobai heard Zhao Xiao's words, the fear of seeing the big demon in the world suddenly disappeared, his heart pounded, and his blood couldn't help but boil.
"Ignorance." The statue of the wood withered god said with a smile: "You and other mortals have no calculation when they cut down grass and trees, have you ever heard the voice of the mountains of grass and trees complaining? Take the lives of a city of mortals today, but make up for it a little. In the future, the gods will take root for thousands of miles, and let billions of living beings nourish the grass and trees with flesh and blood! β
The sound of the wooden statue of the god has the effect of penetration, and the bloody scene of many people in Tatehua County kneeling in front of the statue in the past, and then being pierced by rattan one by one, is imprinted into the minds of those who hear it. If there were mortals here, their spirits would be terrified when they heard the words, and they might even die on the spot.
"As soon as these words come out, it shows that you have lost your innocence." Zhao Xiao was not disturbed at all, and sneered: "The grass and trees are rooted in the earth, the sun and the moon shine, the rain and dew are moistened, the thick soil is carried and the humus is nourished, the sky is thorough, the four seasons are combined, and the yin and yang are combined. Now you are vainly saying that you are nourishing with the flesh and blood of billions of living beings, are you not willing to fall? β
"Arrogance!" The wood statue shouted violently, and dozens of vines broke through the ground and came towards Zhao Qian and the others.
However, Zhao Xiao did not move, and the Daming Treasure Mirror also spat out dozens of flames, like a fire snake coiling in the air, entangled in broken earth vines, and strangled each other. The dilapidated buildings could not withstand the impact of the two strong forces and were razed to the ground one after another.
Originally, the fire snake was most suitable for burning rattan wood, but who expected that the wood was full of water vapor and steamed, and the fire snake soon fell to the downside.
"You just called for the Three Rays of Advent Method, can you still use it?" Zhao Xiao secretly transmitted his voice to Qian Shaobai.
"Not now, unless I breathe for a moment." Qian Shaobai said.
"Then you concentrate on pranayama, and I'll let you do it later." Zhao Xiao took out a jade bottle, and everything that was collected in the Longtan Cave Mansion before was taken away by him with a true yuan lock: "This is the Huang Jing Yang and Lu of the Nourishing Qi Machine, you can take it." Within three feet around me, natural wind and rain do not invade. β
Qian Shaobai took the jade bottle, and for some reason, he became very trusting of Zhao Xiao, and he didn't think much about taking the elixir, and then practiced pranayama.
The fire snake was weak, but Zhao Xiao did not panic, but quickly worked out a countermeasure in his heart. He raised his hand and flicked it, and the Nine Heavens Cloud Platform naturally spread, and the thick cirrus clouds spread under his feet, which was not only an enchantment support, but also a cloth altar.
"Good magic weapon." The statue of the wood carving god showed a greedy look, without the slightest solemnity: "As long as you obediently sacrifice this treasure, this god will allow you to be a servant before driving." β
"Even if you are weak and turbid, good and evil, you are still so hopeless in your life." Zhao Huang shook his sleeves and made a move, and the tiger power iron order was sacrificed, and then a group of altar officials appeared on the cloud altar, each in a safe position.
The statue of the wood withered that Zhao Xiao was going to perform advanced spells, and he was not allowed to complete his work, and the lifelike wood withered evil dragon under the seat broke free, shaking its head and tail, dripping poisonous saliva from its mouth, corroding the ground and emitting wisps of green smoke.
"Go!"
With a shout, the wooden dragon swept along the ground, crushing all the obstacles in front of him, and opened his mouth and rushed straight towards Zhao Xiao.
"How can it be so easy?" Zhao Huang flipped his palm and sacrificed the dragon jade seal, pressed the cloud altar, and the dragon soul condensed into clouds and formed, rushing towards the wooden dragon.
The two dragons immediately fought together, fighting each other with fierce might, knocking down the wall with one rollover, and setting off muddy waves with a swing of the tail. If there were still people in the city, I am afraid that thousands of people would die in the blink of an eye. Only at this time will Zhao Xiao let go of the fighting technique.
Seeing that he couldn't take Zhao Xiao for a while, the statue of the wood carving god urged the vine wood to sneak into the ground, trying to break through the ground from below and overturn the cloud altar.
However, once the vine wood was close to the cloud altar, it was difficult to force in, as if the dirt in front of it had turned into a solid rock wall.
The mandala stood still, Zhao Huang Xiang gave birth to purple flowers, and gradually attracted the high heaven and clear qi, and the wood statue became more and more angry, and it knew that if Zhao Huang was allowed to practice the law, he might not have a chance of winning.
Immediately, the statue of the wood withered god collected the fog barrier that stretched for dozens of miles, and the roots that were deeply rooted in the leylines also began to frantically absorb the qi, and the demons in the city fell to the ground one after another, and the remaining vitality was also sucked up.
In the blink of an eye, the entire county town began to stir up, the river swelled, the city wall toppled, and countless mud, stone, bricks and tiles mixed into the water, forming a turbulent mudflow, which gathered and attacked from all directions.
The mudflow ran over the county town of Tatehua, like destroying and decaying, swallowing everything, and even the rocks that were one person high were wrapped and rolled like driftwood. In the face of such power, even if the body of a half-immortal is involved, even if it does not die, it will be seriously injured.
Rattan nets on all sides, mud flow in all directions, in the face of the mana of razing a city, Zhao Xiao's expression was calm, the nine days of cloud platform were quiet as usual, he turned his palm lightly, the dragon retreated, the altar circled, the soldiers chanted the mantra in unison, the cloud altar was actually raised into a mound, gathered rocks into a base, although the surging mudflow was powerful, but it was never higher than the rock mound.
The earth was dissolved, the blocks were moved, and the mud flow continued to crash against the mound, but it could not be destroyed. On the contrary, it is the accumulation of mud and rocks, and with Zhao Huang's concentrating method, the rock mound is rising higher and higher.
After a while, a nine-story platform more than six zhang high towered in the muddy ruins, above the cloud altar, Zhao Huang stood unshakable, and the Daming Treasure Mirror hung high like the sun and the moon, shining in all directions.
Seeing this, the Wood Wither God Statue was also deeply shocked, and he used all his mana, but he was actually turned into a use by the other party, which was far beyond his expectations.
Seeing that above the high hill cloud altar, the purple flowers were shining brightly, and the sky was connected, and a sharp force that made him very afraid gradually condensed, and the wooden statue had already retreated, just as he was about to contain Zhao Xiao and think about a way to get out, he heard the other party coming from afar:
"Root Leyline, are you unable to escape?"
The Wood Withering God Statue was shocked for a moment, it was extremely difficult for the essence of his plants and trees to move the original body, and in order to deal with Zhao Xiao, he had penetrated his roots into the leylines, and it was becoming more and more difficult to leave nature now.
"Is this also your calculation?!"
With a hideous face and a voice that is difficult to distinguish between male and female, with angry shouts and filial piety, countless sharp vine branches break through the ground, like a rain of arrows that cover the sky and shoot towards the high hill cloud altar.
"The blades of a hundred soldiers are not added, and the bows, crossbows and arrows are all lost!"
Zhao Huang recited the forbidden mantra, and a qi forbidden sigil appeared in the Daming Treasure Mirror, which instantly shrouded the outside of the cloud platform, and the castration of the dense vine branches suddenly slowed down.
When the vine branches completely stopped, as if instigated by invisible mana, they turned around and turned towards the reflection of the wooden statue of the withered god!
"Not good!"
The statue was shocked, urging the rattan net to protect itself while trying to abscond into the ground.
The vine branches were like a waterfall and the wrath of the tide exploded in an instant, and the wooden statue was also scratched and bruised.
Before the statue of the wood statue reacted, a sound of bells sounded in the sky, and suddenly saw a golden axe hanging high above the clouds, the light was brighter than the sun, accompanied by the rolling wind and thunder and fell, the axe blade alone was a hundred zhang long, the two sides of the axe were engraved with animal face totems, and the power of killing filled the heaven and earth.
This kind of shape-destroying golden Yue is an extremely powerful power that has not been displayed by all the disciples of the True Descent Pavilion in the past. Before the axe blade hit the ground, the huge wind pressure had already crushed the vines and trees on the ground, and the sand and stones were flying!
The statue of the wood carving god can not escape, there is no way to avoid it, the golden Yue falls, the most able to restrain the grass and wood spirits of the Taibai Gengjin gas, the axe and the elephant of cutting and cutting into one, directly from top to bottom cracked open the wood statue of the wood carving, like a sharp blade cutting the rotten wood, simply neat, without the slightest obstacle.
It wasn't enough to crack open the statue, the power of the Shape-Destroying Golden Yue spread along the veins of the roots beneath the statue of the wooden statue, cutting off the roots and extinguishing the vitality.
A mournful cry that ordinary people could not hear came from the ground, and the grass and trees within a radius of hundreds of miles were all inducted, trembling and shaking, and signs of withering and decay quickly appeared.
"Hateβ" The expression of the wood statue that was cracked into two petals was distorted, and blood and tears oozed from its eyes, which was very strange.
"Do it!" Zhao Xiao ignored it, and said to Qian Shaobai: "Towards the most vigorous place to descend the power of the three lights. β
Qian Shaobai's eyes widened, and he immediately flew up, raised his finger to the sky, and the mighty sun fell from the sky again, shooting directly into the depths of the crack of the wood statue of the withered god.
As soon as the sun fell, there was a loud bang, and the last bit of tenacious vitality of the essence of the grass and trees was also extinguished, and the mournful sound was abruptly cut off, and the wood withered god was like dry wood poured with oil, and instantly ignited a raging fire, and the surrounding vines and trees were ignited together.
In the blink of an eye, the firelight spread throughout the entire Tatehua County, although this place was already a mess and muddy, except for a nine-story rock platform that was lifted up by Zhao Huang, there was almost no trace of the existence of Tatehua County.
Qian Shaobai fell on the rock platform, looking at the fireworks all over the city, dizzy for a while, a faint pain in his chest, hot in his nose, and blood flowing out.
"Oops, I used the spell too hard and hurt my qi veins...... Qian Shaobai only had time to flash this thought in his mind, and then fainted.
β¦β¦
When Qian Shaobai woke up again, he found himself lying in the tent, with incense and birds in the tent, quiet and peaceful.
As soon as Qian Shaobai wanted to get up, he felt that his limbs were sore, and as soon as his head was tilted, he saw Zhao Xiao sitting on the side holding a scroll with a focused expression.
"Awake?" Zhao Xiao flipped the palm of his hand, the scroll disappeared out of thin air, leaned over and randomly stirred the incense in the furnace, and said: "In order to summon the three rays of light, you forcibly urged the mana, and the qi and machine conflicted, causing damage to the chest and qi veins, and almost injuring the Jiang Palace. β
Qian Shaobai was secretly shocked when he heard this, and Zhao Xiao continued: "I have cast a spell to protect your heart, chest and qi veins, and I will use pills to heal you a little later. However, if you want to fully recover, you need to slowly recuperate yourself. β
"How's Tateflower County doing?" Qian Shaobai asked.
"Tatehua County has been burned to a white ground, and General Guan is leading people to clean it up." Zhao Xiao said: "I have repeatedly confirmed that the monster has lost its vitality and will not continue to cause trouble." "That's good, that's good." Qian Shaobai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would actually have a day to fight side by side with Zhao Xiao, and he didn't leave himself at will, but saved himself from fainting.
"What the hell is the way that youkai came from?" Qian Shaobai felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, so he asked.
"I've surveyed the nearby mountains and rivers in the past few days, and I guess it might be a thousand-year-old vine." Zhao Huang said: "Once this kind of rattan tree takes root and grows, it can continue to live, hang a tree and find another one, never stop, and even a tall tree in the mountain forest is entangled by the vine at the same time, and it takes away its vitality." β
"Chitose vine? I've heard about it. Qian Shaobai's eyes lit up: "If this vine can live to a thousand years of life, it will bear fruit, known as Changchun Dan, and the monk's uniform can prolong life." It is rumored that this periwinkle pill is also a proof of the psychic changes of the thousand-year-old vine, and this fruit can turn into a human form when it lands, and it will be separated from the original body of plants and trees. β
"The demon vines we dealt with still retain the original body of the grass and trees." Zhao Xiao explained: "I expected this, deliberately leading him to take root in the leylines and show his mana, so that there was nowhere to escape. β
When Qian Shaobai heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly afraid, if it weren't for Zhao Xiao's cultivation of mana that was advanced enough, he would probably die in Tatehua County.
"Before a thousand years old, he has such mana, this demon vine is really not to be underestimated." Qian Shaobai sighed.
"Definitely." Zhao Xiao retorted: "The demon vine has this mana, not entirely due to its own cultivation. I suspect that it was after the drastic changes in Dongshengdu, in order to avoid the turbulence of the mountains and rivers, it was attached to the statue of the Lady of Zhenlong in Tatehua County, nourishing itself with the power of incense during the war, and sucking the flesh and blood of the people in the city, so that the vines and trees grew all over the county. β
"It's just a pity for the people in the city and the soldiers accompanying them." Qian Shaobai blamed himself: "If I can be more vigilant, maybe I will notice the abnormality when I enter the fog barrier, so that I will not continue to go deeper with everyone." β
Zhao Xiao reminded: "The monster has been ambushed. β
"There's nothing wrong with that." Qian Shaobai frowned slightly: "But if it weren't for your help, let alone dealing with such monsters, I'm afraid that I would have become the blood food of monsters right now." β
