Tao and Heaven

Chapter 154: The setting sun draws the bow to slay demons and monsters

Thirty miles away from the ferry is Cuifeng Mountain.

The mountain peaks are all withered and yellow, with only green vines left covering the entire mountain. Where the vines take root, the grass and trees wither, the soil becomes desertified, and the rocks decay.

A man and two women walked up the mountain path. The vines that were spreading around the path dissipated, and a divine thought came.

"You three have come from far away. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please come up the mountain for a while."

In an instant, the vines on both sides blossomed with gorgeous flowers. The huge stamens looked like kneeling maids. The fragrance spread for ten miles and ordinary creatures would die on the spot if they smelled it.

There is no living thing within a radius of thirty miles of Cuifeng Mountain, not even a fly left.

If Gu Wen and Ao Tang were here, the latter would definitely seize the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

When the monsters pass through the border, they don't even leave mosquitoes and insects, but they say that humans eat chickens, ducks, fish and meat. Everything has its own way of survival, but monsters often devour not for survival, but for cultivation.

The leading man was spitting out his snake tongue, and his spiritual power did not need to be extended to detect an area of ​​ten miles in radius.

Such a range can already be ranked in the first echelon of the demon clan under the suppression of the immortal land, and few people can know such a large range.

Seeing that there were no living creatures within a ten-mile radius, he clapped his hands and exclaimed:
"I heard that although the Penglai vine clan is a plant spirit, their appetite is comparable to that of gluttons. They can swallow a plant that covers an area of ​​thirty miles. How magnificent!"

The snake's divine sense probed into the deep mountains, and its tongue could smell humans and various animals that were rooted in vines, hung high up, and having their essence and spirit sucked away.

"Hiss! There is such a method that can swallow blood food so cleanly? Wonderful, what a great trick."

He is Yu Ni, the holy son of the feathered serpent clan. Snakes are good at swallowing foreign objects, and their appetite is among the best among the monsters.

Known for his delicious food, he naturally spoke highly of the Qingteng Method. In his heart, he even regarded him as a close friend and planned to find time to make a good friend and discuss the ability to eat people.

There were two women behind him, one with charming white hair, and one with blonde hair and eagle eyes. The latter frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid of attracting the fate of the human race? And this is different from what we agreed on before."

The more the golden-winged Peng Jin Yuzhi looked around, the more horrified she felt. She was like a security guard, watching a group of crazy people dancing on the edge of a cliff.

"It's just eating a few people, why make such a fuss?"

Yu Ni glanced back, and Jin Yuzhi seemed to be ignited by this action. Her eyes shone brightly, and she said coldly: "That's not what you told me at the beginning. You entered the human territory, blocked the Three Pure Ones Sect, and then left."

If they followed the original agreement, Jin Yuzhi didn't think there would be any danger. Even if they came here at ordinary times, at most they would attract the human race's geniuses to encircle and suppress them, and then the two sides would arm wrestle.

This kind of situation has happened in the past. Most of the time, the new generation of transsexuals would have a fight in the immortal land.

This is also done to understand future opponents, and is tacitly approved by the powerful people on both the human and demon sides.

But now these lunatics, thinking of blood feuds, let their little demons slaughter and attack mortals wantonly. Relying on the fact that demons have a thousand-year generation, the pressure of entering the immortal land is not as much as that of human beings in a hundred years, and they can bring many followers.

This is also called the Fuban, the basic base for a demon king or demon emperor to take power in the future. Some are brought in from outside to the immortal land for training, and some are directly enlightened by their bloodline to the local demons.

Unlike the human race, where anyone can practice cultivation, the future great powers of the demon race are determined from birth.

When facing the human race's genius, only the middle and lower level monsters have an absolute advantage. For example, now, each monster race genius brings dozens of little monsters, most of whom are at the third level of Taoism.

Now all the troops around Yu Ni are released to slaughter mortals, which is tantamount to bullying the weak.

"Not only did you not keep a low profile, but you also deliberately allowed the wolf demons to burn, kill and plunder. Aren't you afraid of attracting the human race's powerful men to take action?"

"Princess Jin is sympathizing with the human race?"

Yu Ni suddenly interrupted, looking back with obvious murderous intent in her eyes, but she quickly restrained it, and said with a smile on her feminine face: "Princess Jin, don't panic, how about we give you three times the reward?"

"."

Jin Yuzhi was speechless.

The original price wasn’t worth the risk, but it would be a different story if it was twice as much.

The fox girl remained silent. Yu Ni stared at her for a moment, with vigilance revealed in her eyes. She then turned around and continued walking to the top of the mountain.

Above the mountain top, white clouds are floating.

A ten-meter-high Wangu Mountain stands tall, a mountain on a mountain, with green vines entwined and hundreds of flowers blooming.

A gentle lady was sitting below. She was wiping a rabbit skull with a towel. When she saw everyone coming up, she smiled and said softly, "I am Qing Rui, nice to meet you fellow Taoists."

Yu Ni stared at the woman blankly, with a different emotion in her eyes.

He didn't like the human form, and he changed into a human form just to make it easier for him to become an immortal. Otherwise, the blood and energy required to maintain a body of several dozen feet would be enough to give him a headache, and he would not have any extra energy to practice.

In the immortal world, all things become mortal, and food is the basic principle.

But at this moment, Yu Ni suddenly understood why many monsters loved to transform. It was not only to fit the Tao body, but also to integrate beauty and ugliness.

Unfortunately, they had more important things to do on this trip.

Yu Ni asked, "Do you know where the Three Pure Ones Taoist group is?"

"Know a thing or two."

Qing Rui nodded slightly and said, "I was in contact with the Holy Son of the Sky Fox Clan a few days ago, but I suddenly lost contact a few days ago. If you go and look around, you should be able to find him, but I don't plan to tell you."

The three of them were stunned, and Yu Ni's eyes immediately revealed murderous intent. He had a good impression of the vine monster, but that couldn't stop him from taking revenge.

"Daoyou want to help the Three Pure Ones Sect?"

"No, I want to kill myself."

Qing Rui shook her head slightly, her tone was dull and lacking in emotion, which was typical of plant and wood spirits.

"Wait until I devour millions of blood foods at the ferry, wrap tens of millions of green vines and sweep across a thousand miles. Then the Three Pure Ones will be nowhere to hide. You just watch. I will kill anyone who makes a move."

Another madman.

Jin Yuzhi recalled that the Xiangyao Cave of the Penglai Vine Clan was also destroyed that year.

Qing Cang took the Bashen as his son and broke the three caves in one throw. Then he led the ancestor of demons (immortal) to return from Taixu directly despite the heavenly calamity.

Moreover, the Penglai vine clan is relatively rare due to its plant spirits, and I'm afraid all of this person's relatives are gone.

"Why not join forces against the enemy?"

The fox girl who had been silent the whole time spoke up, "Regardless of whether the goddess will take action or not, the heir of the Yu Jian Sect is enough for you to deal with."

"Are you from the Qingqiu royal family?"

Qing Rui glanced at the fox girl, who nodded and said, "That's right, I'm here for the Holy Son of the Sky Fox Clan."

"he died."

"I know, but could you tell me the location?"

"No."

Are these plant spirits all stubborn?
The fox girl looked gloomy, which was why she didn't want to reveal her identity.

Xuanyuan, or Tushan Yun who has changed back to the identity of Tushan Demon King, is very clear that his identity will not play a role.

The difference between monsters is sometimes greater than that between humans and monsters.

The reason why humans and demons can be in opposition is entirely because the human race is large enough. After Qingcang, the whole human race is already comparable to the entire Jianmu Demon Sea, so much so that even the demon race has accepted the general term for demons used by humans.

This is actually a manifestation of the strength of the human race, because they need the collective name of the other party to maintain false unity.

That human half-immortal took it for granted, just like they regarded all non-human beings as monsters. She was the Monster King and the Monster King of the Fox Clan, not the Monster King of the entire monster clan.

Making them listen to oneself is no less than making a human genius listen to a demon.

"Fellow Daoist, are you really not going to tell me?"

Yu Ni's eyes were cold, while Qing Rui nodded silently.

boom!
The top of Cuifeng Mountain suddenly exploded, and a giant python appeared in the dust. Millions of vines that spread across the mountain rose up into the sky and entangled the giant python, which was a hundred feet tall. Then, the giant python held a sword in its mouth, exhaled its breath like rain, and cut through the vines.

The giant python has completed the sixth and seventh levels of the Tao foundation, has the combat power of the thirteenth level, and possesses supernatural powers.

Qingteng's Taoism foundation is at the seventh level, the seventh level, the combat power of the fourteenth level, and he possesses supernatural powers.

In the fight between the two, the outcome was decided the moment their aura was revealed.

As both are geniuses of the demon race, there is no gap between them in terms of perfection and supernatural powers. Each of them has his own unique supernatural power, and they have all reached the extreme.

The green vine turned into a thousand-foot-long python and whipped Yu Ni away. Then the golden-winged Roc suddenly appeared, grabbed Yu Ni and flew away.

The former was not good at high altitudes and had to give up the pursuit.

Hundreds of miles away, the golden-winged Roc and the green python transformed into human forms one after another.

Yu Ni's face was extremely gloomy, but she did not roar, because snakes had no voice and when they transformed into human form they did not like to speak loudly.

The blood flowing from between his clenched fists showed that he was furious.

Suddenly, a divine thought came, it was the leader of the wolves under Yu Ni, who was also his bodyguard.

Yu Ni collected his divine thoughts, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face. The dozens of wolf guards he had sent out had all died.

There were also mortals who dared to openly surround and kill the Wolf Guards and hang their heads on the city walls.

He was still furious after being humiliated, and said with murderous intent:

"How dare you! Mortal soldiers actually surrounded and killed the Wolf Guards."

He had just taken two steps when Jin Yuzhi said coldly, "This is just the first time. From now on, I will just report the news. If you want to kill me, you can try."

After saying this, she once again transformed into a golden eagle and flew high.

"As brave as a mouse, but as eagle-like."

Yu Ni took a look, then turned into a ray of green light and left.

Tu Shanyun curled the corners of her mouth, and then found a place to meditate. She had to wait for an opportunity.
-
Ferry, main tent of military camp.

Jiang Jucai returned from a great victory, holding the wolf head and shocking the entire ferry and the Nanchun Army.

The name of the monster spread throughout the village, and hundreds of thousands of people fled north. Now Jiang Jucai is the only one who killed the monster, which made him famous. In a vague way, he has become.

As soon as Jiang Jucai entered the commander-in-chief's tent, the cheers outside disappeared completely. All the generals and commander-in-chief Song Ziyi in the commander-in-chief's tent were very silent.

As for the evil spirits, the Nanchun Army only shouted slogans to win over the people's hearts, and the top leaders did not intend to provoke these monsters.

Commander Song Ziyi frowned and asked, "Why did you disobey the military order?"

Jiang Jucai replied calmly: "The demons attacked the army, so we had to fight."

"Then why do you want to kill it? You can just repel the demons. What if other demons come to seek revenge after you kill it?"

The generals who were not on good terms with Jiang Jucai started to make trouble, causing everyone to nod their heads repeatedly.

Before they could start to attack, Jiang Ju glared, took a half step forward and said, "If I don't kill him, how can I explain to the hundreds of brothers who died, and how can I explain to the people who came to support the Nanchun Army? The evil must be eliminated, and the court must punish him!"

His murderous aura frightened everyone into silence. There were only a few people present who could actually lead the troops to fight, and most of them were children of wealthy families.

"General, give me a thousand soldiers, and I can quell the evil within a radius of 500 miles."

Jiang Jucai bowed to the commander, his eyes firm, and said: "Demons are also flesh and blood. Fifty soldiers can kill one. According to the people who fled to the north, there are only a hundred demons. If we can eliminate the demons, the people of Nanshui will be loyal to the commander and great things will be accomplished!"

Demons are not invulnerable to swords and guns, and he didn't know there were more powerful demons. But as long as the demons could be killed by swords and guns, Jiang Jucai felt that he should do something.

Instead of worrying about the revenge of demons, it is better to kill a few more demons.

Commander Song Ziyi rubbed his brows and asked again: "What if the demon takes revenge? You are a hero, but it makes us suffer. But since you killed the demon, you have done a great deed. You will be promoted to deputy general in charge of transporting baggage."

The purpose of starting a movement is to call for peace, and eliminating evil is just a slogan. Paying lip service but not delivering is a common tactic used by those in power.

But he couldn't really dismiss Jiang Jucai, otherwise the army would be unstable and even cause a mutiny. Especially after the Nanchun Army shouted out the name of eliminating the demon, he could only promote him in name only and demote him in reality.

Jiang Jucai was unwilling, but he had to obey the order and leave the tent. Then the generals left one after another.

Song Ziyi pinched his brows for a long time, and suddenly an old voice came into his ears.

"Zi Yi."

"Master!?"

Song Ziyi's frown disappeared instantly. He looked up but didn't see anyone.

When he was eight years old, he was accepted as a disciple by an "immortal", and now he is also under the guidance of his master in his uprising. Controlling a county is enough for him to cultivate to the sixth level of Taoism, or even the eighth level of Taoism. In the future, he will be able to make great achievements in the cultivation world.

"Where are you? Why did you suddenly disappear a few days ago?"

"You were found by your enemies and you faked your death to escape. We will talk about it later because it is complicated. Now you are in a critical situation and need to escape as soon as possible. Quickly break off your relationship with this Southern Navy."

"But the Southern Navy has finally occupied most of the Southern Water."

Song Ziyi's first reaction was to refuse. He had finally reached this point and could submit a letter of surrender to the court at any time and wait for an imperial edict.

The current Emperor Daojun is a supreme being, but he only cares about the elixir offered every year, and he will most likely accept the letter of surrender.

The old voice interrupted, "Nanshui has become a dead end. Even if a Heavenly Master enters, he may not survive. Do not be greedy when practicing. Moreover, the demons eating people will soon lead to the fate of the major sects."

Song Ziyi was unwilling, but he had no choice but to accept it.

Just as Jiang Jucai, a mere mortal, needs to submit to him, he also needs to submit to those large sects of practitioners, and the same goes for his master.

Suddenly, a soldier came in and said in a panic, "General! The demons have come to our door. They are challenging our army across the river! They have brought thousands of civilians with them. Let the demon killers come out, otherwise they will all drown in the river."

"what?!"

Song Ziyi was shocked and had the idea of ​​running away.

The genius of the demon race is not someone that I can deal with.

"How many demons are there?"

"The three-headed wolf demon, the tallest of which is three feet tall,"

"Report! Captain Jiang led his troops to charge out."

Another soldier came in to report. Song Ziyi was completely paralyzed. He shouted, "Didn't I remove him from his position as the commander of the cavalry? Why is he still able to lead the troops out? How could he lead them out without my order?!"

The people below hesitated and no one answered.

The Nanchun Army was originally a peasant army, which was funded by landlords and had become combat-ready after many wars, but it was not a formal professional military unit.

The cavalry are particularly bandit-like, and whoever has a louder reputation and is more popular can raise an army of tens of thousands.
-
Countless cavalrymen galloped out from the ferry bridge.

In the distance, three wolf-headed monsters were holding the people hostage. The three monsters looked at the cavalry rushing towards them in astonishment, and then roared as if in anger and rushed towards them.

The silver-armored flying general drew his bow and shot an arrow into the sky, then he seemed to be commanding countless cavalrymen to draw their bows and shoot arrows.

A round setting sun was hanging low over the river. Under the water, a huge black shadow was swaying its body and swimming towards the ferry more than ten miles away.

A black horse galloped across the plain, with thunder and lightning. A man with black hair and black clothes put the magic pill in his left hand and chewed it, and swung out with his right hand to cut through the clouds.

Zheng!
White light split the dusk, the sword appeared and divided the river, the green python appeared, and a huge gash was cut on its huge body by the sword light.

It roared towards the sky, and then saw Gu Wen, its eyes filled with astonishment and surprise.

"It's really like searching for something in vain!"
