After talking to the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon Mother about the situation, Lin Jiu walked out of Bibo Lake alone.

Outside the blue pool, it is still a barren place, and there are no people.

Even Lin Jiu expected, the monks who were monitoring here in Jinguang Temple had never seen a single one, as if Jinguang Temple had completely forgotten this blue wave pool.

Lin Jiu followed the annotations on the water vein map, and soon came to the first place where the water veins were turbulent as Ben Bo Erba said.

That is, to the west of Bibotan, about 800 miles, a place called Lining City.

Surrounded by water on three sides, the land is abundant, and it can be regarded as a large city of the human race nearby, and the surrounding merchants will gather in Lining City.

The Buddha in Lining City is extremely prosperous, and there are no less than ten large and small temples in the city that are supported, and the right to speak in the entire Lining City is almost controlled by the monks in the temple. And all these temples are revered by the Jinguang Temple.

At this time, it is the spring equinox, it is the time for all things to recover and recuperate, according to common sense, at this time, the people in Lining City should be under the supervision of those monks to sow seeds and open up wasteland, etc., but when Lin Jiu arrived, the land outside Lining City was barren, although there were monks patrolling back and forth, but there was no half of the farmers who weeded and sowed.

The guards at the gates of the city were vigilant, and their eyes looked around with fear, as if there was some terror hidden in the wilderness.

The city wall is ancient and mottled, there is an incomparably subtle flow of Buddha light on it, under the light of the Buddha, there is another kind of power that is not there - that is the power that belongs to humanity, usually I can't see anything mysterious, but once the demon clan touches this power, it will immediately usher in the suppression of this power, except for those giant demons in the true Xuan Realm, few other demon clans can break through the limits of this power.

This is also the reason why in the book of heaven he obtained, most of those giant demons have done such a thing as swallowing a city - when they have not fought a battle with an evenly matched opponent to prove their strength, they will destroy a city with the humane power of the human race, this is the best way for those giant demons to prove their strength.

Unlike those immortals, the strong among those immortals can maintain their glory, but the strong men of the demon clan must show their existence in order to maintain the current situation of the demon clan.

After he entered Lining City with goosebumps, the feeling of disharmony became more and more obvious.

- The pedestrians in the city, while worrying about the farming, also have fear and anger in their eyes.

"There's a problem." Lin Jiu frowned.

Whether it is the light of the Buddha or the power of humanity, it is a force that exists to protect the human race, and under the protection of these two forces, there should not be such a panicked appearance in the city.

……

After a little turn in the city, when Lin Jiu inadvertently heard the word 'demon', he easily turned into a small open-air tea shop.

"River Demon? What river monsters? Lin Jiu walked into this tea shop.

Inside the tea shop, several middle-aged men in shabby clothes were talking indignantly about the reasons for the changes in Lining City.

As a large city of the human race, the location of Lining City is of course undoubted, and Ningshui surrounds Lining City, making the land of Lining City extremely rich.

However, not long ago, in Ningshui outside Lining City, there was a sudden demon trouble.

After the appearance of the water demon, the people of Lining City naturally asked for help from the temple that sheltered them, but the monks in the temple also died at the hands of the water demon when they went out of the city to investigate.

After that, it was the enraged water demons who frequently came ashore to harass the farmers, and finally, the monks of Jinguang Temple came here.

"He is worthy of being a senior monk of Jinguang Temple." After a middle-aged man briefly told Lin Jiu about the situation, he sincerely admired, "Although I haven't caught the water demon yet, as soon as the senior monk of Jinguang Temple came, the water demon no longer dared to make trouble." ”

"Oh, so it's the mage of Jinguang Temple, so why can't you help that water demon? It must be known that if the water demon is not eliminated for a day, the people in the city will not be allowed to cultivate for a day, if the water demon and the mages of Jinguang Temple spend three years, five years, ten years and eight years, wouldn't everyone in the city starve to death? Lin Jiu's eyes rolled, and he immediately asked out loud.

But they are deliberately belittling the monks of Jinguang Temple - look, these so-called mages can't even be an ordinary water demon, what's the use of worshipping them?

In the Journey to the West, when Che Chi Kingdom was in the country, the Taoist priest and the monk fought for the sovereignty of a mortal country, which made Lin Jiu know that the existence of these mortal kingdoms was useless to their demon clan, but it was indeed of great use to the Taoist priests and monks - it was to have the opportunity to block the monks of Jinguang Temple, and when there was a chance to affect their control of this Lining City, Lin Jiu of course did not hesitate to act.

"This friend isn't local, is he?" Listening to Lin Jiu's words, someone in the tea shop immediately showed suspicious eyes.

"The surname is Lin, but he is a traveling merchant from other places." Lin Jiu nodded at the suspicious man, his gaze calm. "The tea shop restaurant can be said to be a gathering of three religions and nine streams, and the news is spread in all directions, I came here to secretly inquire about the market of various goods, but I don't want to hear you talk about water demons, and I am curious for a while."

"You." The suspicious man looked at Lin Jiu, full of righteous indignation, "You are from other places, where do you know that the mages of Jinguang Temple have good intentions. ”

"Listening to this friend's meaning, the reason why the mages of Jinguang Temple didn't eradicate that water demon is that there is anything else going on?" Lin Jiu arched his hand towards the man, and asked the owner of the tea shop to add a bowl of hot tea to everyone, "I want to hear about it." ”

"So that you know that the water demon who is in trouble in the Lining River is a man with a backstage. The monks of Jinguang Temple want to eradicate this water demon, it is naturally easy, but the mages have mercy on everyone, worried that after eradicating the water demon, the people behind the water demon will not be relenting, but the harm is even heavier, this is the false invincibility, let the water demon rampant. ”

"As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, if you can't get rid of the evil, then the mages can retreat, but the people of Lining City are very easy to be implicated, and the mages' consideration is indeed Zhou Xiang." Lin Jiu nodded convincingly, "It's my villain's heart." ”

"Eh, by the way, listen to what your friends mean, don't you mean that the mages of Jinguang Temple already have a comprehensive method? Is there already communication with the water demon's backstage? Lin Jiu asked again.

But he secretly wanted to label Jinguang Temple as a 'collusion with the demon clan'.
