I changed the world

The monster opened its mouth toward the two of them, revealing its sharp teeth, and showed an expression that was either mocking or malicious:

"You have ruined my Lord's return. My Lord will curse you. My Lord will watch you..."

"Your master, please continue to sleep. He will never come back." Zhang Taihe said in a low tone. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and saw the head of the weirdo exploded violently!

However, the body without the head did not fall for a while. The next moment, the statue in front of it emitted a bloody light, and countless tendons sprang out from the blood pool like vines and poisonous snakes, quickly wrapping it up. , forming a bloody cocoon.

Zhang Taihe narrowed his eyes and pointed forward again. The next moment, the blood cocoon exploded violently, and the sword energy that burst out flew around, cutting the surrounding altars into pieces.

In the exploding blood cocoon, a deformed humanoid creature climbed up from the ground and roared angrily at Zhang Taihe. In Zhang Jing's eyes, he could clearly see the surrounding creatures from it. The power of the radiation distortion field is simply incomparable to what it was just now.

This monster has a new head at this time, but on the body, the flesh buds are twisting, and the tentacles, tendons and other organs are entangled with each other as if they are alive, and its body is still entangled and reorganized. Obviously, Mrs. Zhang It was destroyed too quickly and it hasn’t fully grown yet...

Zhang Taihe looked at the monster in front of him indifferently. His aura was completely different from the peaceful and amiable temperament he usually had when talking to Zhang Jing. He saw that he did not give the monster any chance to breathe. The next moment, the monster Flashing backwards, the entire body appeared out of thin air ten meters away from its original position.

"Forbidden!" Zhang Taihe spat out a word softly.

The monster suddenly stagnated, as if it was controlled by some powerful invisible force. The next moment, half of its body exploded again and was blown away...

At the same time, on the altar, more tendons spurted out, wrapping the severely injured monster in it, forming a blood cocoon larger than before.

But this time, a large number of foamy filthy derivatives called blood cocoons proliferated rapidly, directly blocking Zhang Taihe's subsequent attack.However, these actions obviously also consumed the blood in the altar. The blood dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon became unsustainable.

However, just after this slight delay, the blood cocoon began to deflate, and a body tore open the blood cocoon and emerged from it.

At this time, it no longer resembles a humanoid at all. Its body has become more slender, and a large number of exposed exoskeletons can be seen. Two pairs of arthropod-like pincers have grown out of the arms of its upper body, and its deformed head has long legs. It had weird mouthparts, and a pair of bat-like wings grew out of its back.

At this moment, I saw it flap its wings, turn around and pass over the statue on the altar, pick it up, and then its whole body rise into the sky and fly towards the top of the cave...

Zhang Jing looked up and suddenly realized that this cave was actually connected to the crater of Nabindale volcano.

Zhang Taihe's eyes flashed with lightning at this moment, and he saw lightning chains forming out of thin air in front of the monster, winding towards the monster. However, the monster was extremely agile and could dodge the lightning chains several times without even a moment's notice. entangled, and rushed out of the crater in the blink of an eye...

"We can't let him escape!" Both the master and the disciple knew very well what would happen if such a thing escaped. The next moment, Zhang Taihe had disappeared from the same place, and after that, Zhang Jing also disappeared from the place. .

When Zhang Jing appeared again, he was already at the Bindale Crater. Zhang Jing looked around and found that Zhang Taihe and the monster were heading to the west at a very high speed...

"Hongzi, have you noticed that the fog seems to be getting lighter?"

Wei Chengguang waved the dog-leg knife in his hand and cleared a bush lying in front of him. He retracted the dog-leg knife, frowned and looked at the blade that had been almost flattened, and whispered to Zhu Yingwei who was following behind.

It has been nearly half an hour since the two entered the mist. From the beginning, they were as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Now, although they are still vigilant, they have become somewhat relaxed.They found that apart from poor visibility and malfunction of navigation, positioning, compass and other related instruments in this area, they did not seem to find anything special.

Of course, the malfunction of these instruments also brought a lot of trouble to the two of them. Fortunately, this place is already at the foot of the Bindale volcano. The towering Bindale volcano is the best reference for the direction. Although it is in the thick fog, , the visibility was very low, but the two relied on the terrain as a reference and the memory of the last positioning before entering the thick fog, and they were still able to roughly determine the correct direction.

"It seems... there are some..." Zhu Yingwei looked around for a while, put her finger on her chin to think, and nodded. Then, she took out her mobile phone and called up the navigation to look at it, and then said with some frustration. : "But the navigation still doesn't work."

"Don't worry about the navigation. I feel like we're almost at the Amani Resort..." Wei Chengguang looked around and then pointed to the side.

Zhu Yingwei looked in the direction of his finger and found that in the gradually fading fog, the outline of a building appeared faintly in the distance.

"Ah! It's really here!" However, before she could say anything, she heard a strong whistling sound above her head, and then, about a hundred meters away from them, something fell to the ground. The sound came, followed by the sound of falling trees and a sound like thunder and thunder.

Chapter 262 Disciple Wei Chengguang

The two looked at each other and saw the curiosity and excitement in each other's eyes. They saw Wei Chengguang carefully pointing to the direction of the sound and giving a questioning look, while Zhu Yingwei nodded directly, so The two of them changed directions and quickly moved towards the direction where the sound came from.

....................................

........................

After all, the monster couldn't escape. When Zhang Jing took a step closer to find Zhang Taihe, he saw that in a messy forest, the monster had already had one of its wings chopped off, and was killed by two The thunder chains were tightly bound to the ground.

Zhang Taihe's eyes flashed with electric light, and the feathers around him were fluttering as if blown by the strong wind. He then saw him walking slowly and quickly towards the monster that was still struggling. As he walked, he formed a seal with his right hand. At the same time, Then the thunder chains that restrained the monster suddenly exploded with lightning, and the smell of burning was accompanied by an increasingly fierce roar. After just a moment, it fell down. The monster stopped moving and was gradually burned into a ball of ashes by the lightning... …

Then Zhang Taihe stepped forward and picked up a wooden statue from the ashes. It was strange to say that this seemingly wooden statue, although it looked full of traces of vicissitudes brought by time, was actually He had survived the burning of the lightning just now. Apart from a few black marks, there was no unnecessary damage.

"Teacher, are you done with it?" Zhang Jing stepped forward and looked at the wooden statue in Zhang Taihe's hand. His keen sense directly felt a gloomy and deep aura from above. This aura was not simply filthy or evil. , more like some kind of whisper from ancient times...

Thinking of this, Zhang Jing hurriedly restrained his mind and did not dare to look at it anymore. This thing is really weird...

Then Zhang Taihe drew a talisman made of thunder and lightning out of thin air with his right hand. The drawing was not fast, as if every stroke he drew was as heavy as a thousand pieces.

It took about ten breaths for the thunder talisman to be drawn, and then he saw the thunder talisman quickly attached to the wood carving in his hand. The moment the thunder talisman and the wood carving were combined, there were layers of Layers of seals emerged from the void, sealing the wooden sculpture inside. After that, the seals slowly submerged into the statue, and the weird feeling in Zhang Jing's perception disappeared. When he looked at the statue again, it was just an ordinary thing. Just wood carvings.

"Let's deal with it temporarily, and then take it back to suppress it." The lightning in Zhang Taihe's eyes slowly receded, and he turned his hand over. The wooden statue in his hand was gone. He didn't know where he had received it.

After that, Zhang Taihe glanced at the bushes on the side intentionally or unintentionally. Without saying anything, he turned to Zhang Jing and said: "There is still some work to be done in the cave."

"These cultists are really crazy. This time there was almost a big problem." Zhang Jing nodded aside, and the master and disciple turned around and left.At this moment, two people suddenly jumped out of the bushes on the side. They both knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Immortal, please stay. I sincerely become my disciple and ask the Immortal to take you in."

Zhang Taihe and Zhang Jing both had unsurprised expressions. Apparently they had noticed someone watching, but they didn't care.After all, the existence of certain people is no longer a secret among the high-level officials of the empire.Especially ordinary people cannot see through their cover-up methods and avoid exposing Zhang Jing's identity. This is enough.

Zhang Taihe glanced at the two of them indifferently. When he saw a man and a woman dressed as travel companions, but looking a little embarrassed, he frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The two young men looked at each other, and the young man among them nodded, then looked at Zhang Taihe, first looked at the Taoist robes worn by Zhang Taihe and Zhang Jing again, and then said loudly:

"The disciple's name is Wei Chengguang, his nickname is Xi Ming. He is 22 years old. He is a prime minister in Zhongzhou. He has admired Taoism since he was a child. This Miss Zhu Yingwei is my friend and also a Taoist. Over the years, we have been looking for Gao Gao in various places. He is a hermit who desires Dharma rectification and is sincere. We heard about an unusual incident in Sulu Island this time and came here to look for him. Previously, due to the peripheral blockade, the two of us drifted down the river, and the kayak capsized and then passed through the jungle. When I got here, maybe it was God's will... I happened to see the Immortal take action... Please..." After saying this, the man seemed to be so excited that he choked up and took a deep breath. Then he continued: "...I also ask the Immortal Chief not to be as stupid as a disciple and take him under his sect..."

The person who spoke was naturally Wei Chengguang, who had heard the sound. Just now, he had seen with his own eyes the scene where Zhang Taihe took action. Although he had seen something from online videos before, he was concerned about a certain person. He had some mental preparations for these existences, but at the moment when he actually witnessed them, he still felt a kind of shock from the depths of his soul.

At that moment, over the years, overt or covert advice, reminders and even cynicism from some relatives and friends came to my mind unconsciously...

I am not wrong……

Finally I……

at last……

found it! ! !

Although Wei Chengguang could not see the faces of Zhang Taihe and Zhang Jing from Wei Chengguang's point of view at this time, no matter how he observed them, he just felt that their faces were blurry, but because of this, it became more and more obvious that the two people in front of him were extraordinary. .

Wei Chengguang didn't dare to look any further. He suppressed his surging emotions and knocked his head heavily on the ground. However, when he was about to knock his head down again, he couldn't do it anyway. Then he saw Zhang Taihe caressing him casually. , an invisible force field blocked his power.

"You said...your name is Wei Chengguang?" At this moment, Zhang Jing, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said with a probing tone.

"My disciple is Wei Chengguang." Although he didn't know why the other party asked this question, Wei Chengguang responded quickly and respectfully.

What Zhang Jing was thinking about at this time was that An Huiling had mentioned this person in his letter at that time, and told Zhang Jing as an interesting anecdote.Unexpectedly, to see him under such circumstances now is indeed a kind of fate.

However, considering that according to this person's own words, they drifted down the river, walked through the jungle after capsizing their kayak, and looked at their embarrassed appearance at this time, I think it was not a lie. In this way, his "sincerity and firmness" "It's true that this is not a lie.

The other one seemed to be a rich girl. Zhang Jing noticed that her palms were white and soft, and there were no calluses caused by labor. However, to be able to reach this point was better than those of Ye Gong's good friends. too much.

Chapter 263 Mural

Since the sect always needs to expand, when it comes to the choice of disciples, Zhang Jing prefers to recruit those who have great will.

Without him, because it is hard to come by, only then do we know how to cherish it.

In fantasy novels like that, where people are sitting at home, opportunities come from the sky, and experts cry and shout to give away skills, equipment, and wives. Zhang Jing would not do such things.

No matter how good his qualifications are, Zhang Jing doesn't want him.

What you get easily can be discarded easily one day.

From this perspective, the two people in front of me are a good choice.Thinking of this, Zhang Jing bowed his hands and said to Zhang Taihe: "Teacher, I see that these two people are also dedicated to the Tao. Now the sect needs to train disciples, so I might as well give them a chance."

Both Wei Chengguang and Zhu Yingwei were ecstatic when they heard this. Even the usually quirky Zhu Yingwei looked respectful at this time, lowering her eyes and bowing her head, subconsciously holding her breath, as if waiting for the verdict.

Zhang Taihe pondered for a long time, looking at the two of them with a scrutinizing look, and then slowly nodded and said: "You have some qualifications. In that case, I will give you a chance."

Wei Chengguang and Zhu Yingwei were both overjoyed when they heard this. They were about to say a few words of thanks when they saw Mrs. Zhang making a calming gesture.

"I have something important to do, so I can't stay long. On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Prime Minister will go to Zhuque Cave in Wuling Mountain. You two will come on time."

After saying that, he disappeared without waiting for them to say anything more.

Zhang Jing smiled and nodded slightly at the two of them, and then disappeared.

Neither Wei Chengguang nor Zhu Yingwei responded. They wanted to say something, but there was no one in front of them.They were stunned for a while, but Zhu Yingwei suddenly jumped up from the ground, her round eyes narrowed into crescent moons with joy, she jumped over, grabbed Wei Chengguang's arm and shook it: "Bengbeng! Bengbeng! Let's do this this time It’s really going to work!!!”

"Yes... we are going to succeed. We... really met an immortal..." Wei Chengguang murmured a few words and wanted to laugh, but tears suddenly fell down. He stretched out his hand to wipe them, but nothing happened. I couldn't wipe it dry, so I just started whimpering in the end.

His appearance startled Zhu Yingwei, and she asked cautiously: "Bengbeng, are you okay..."

"It's okay... Wu... It's okay... I'm happy..."

....................................

...........................

………………

Regardless of how Wei Chengguang and Zhu Yingwei interacted, Master Zhang Jing and his apprentice returned to the previous volcanic cave after a while.

The two completely destroyed the altar in the cave, especially the dirty runes smeared with blood around it. In addition, the remains of some monsters of unknown origin were also contained.

After processing this, the two began to observe the murals painted on the cave walls around the altar.These murals are somewhat blurred, and are covered with traces of smoke and fire. It can be seen that they have gone through a long time, and it is unknown which generation of islanders painted them.

The painting skills of these murals are not high, so the patterns are a bit abstract, but it can be seen that the painters are actually very serious, so that some details are painted.

"Hongjian, what do you think?" Zhang Taihe looked at it for a while and then suddenly said, as if he was trying to compete.

"Teacher, I think this seems to be some local mythology..." Zhang Jing looked at it for a while and suddenly frowned.

"Oh? Tell me..."

"It seems that this should be a record of a god worshiped by the locals..." Zhang Jing looked at the slightly exaggerated murals, thought for a while, and continued: "Look here, it is obviously painted with sea water. , this giant rising from the sea should be the local god, I think, it should be a sea god."

"This sea god may also have a role in creating the world. In this painting, this god holds up the island. I guess that this may be their view that the god created their land. After all, in ancient times, islands should It’s the world as they see it.”

"This picture should depict the local people worshiping the God of the Sea..." Zhang Jing said, pointing to another picture and said: "Look at the kneeling people in this picture, their hands are tied. It should be a sacrifice...the custom of human blood sacrifice used to be preserved here."

"I suspect that this should be the place of blood sacrifice...that's why there is such a strong gathering of resentment."

"In addition, in local mythology, this god may be in a sleeping state. In the last few paintings, the god does not appear directly, but there are large shadows on the seabed, and the people in the murals are worshiping toward the sea. I guess , maybe that’s the sleeping god. Or maybe he couldn’t appear for some reason.”

"Junior sister also mentioned before that the poem she once heard, one of the lines I remember is: 'He will wake up...'."

Seeing that Zhang Jing seemed to have nothing to say, Mrs. Zhang and Fu Xu nodded: "I observed it very carefully, not bad."

As he spoke, he added: "From a religious perspective, this is a relatively primitive belief. You see, in all the murals, the images of gods and humans are obviously different in size. This god The body is the largest, dozens of times larger than ordinary people. From the simple behavior of primitive humans, the higher the status, the bigger the paintings. This is a common paradigm in ancient murals all over the world. It can be seen that This god is supreme in their eyes.”

"In addition, the faces of these gods all have a more ferocious appearance. Most of them show an angry appearance with thick lines. But the details of the body are very blurry, even much blurrier than the ordinary people on the murals. Most of them Just an emotional display.”

"The face is ferocious, which should mean that the people who painted these murals are very afraid of this god, or directly, this is an evil god. In fact, according to the current archaeological and documentary data, in early human myths everywhere, Most of the gods appear in ferocious postures. Previous scholars believed that this shows that human religion first appeared in natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and storms. In order to explain these disasters, gods were born." Zhang Taihe said on the side He said, while looking at these murals: "Of course, we now know that there may be another explanation. In ancient times, gods, or evil gods, were originally a kind of disaster, or the disaster itself..."

As he spoke, he paused to let Zhang Jing digest the information just now, and then continued: "As for these vague details, they should represent these islanders. In fact, they don't know the specific appearance of this god. Its approximate appearance may be just a guess.”

Chapter 264 Awake

"As for the last point you mentioned, in fact, it should be that He has been sealed and forced into eternal sleep."

"Oh?" Zhang Jing's eyes showed a look of thought, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Please ask the teacher to explain a thing or two."

Zhang Taihe stroked his beard and said, "I don't know much about this aspect of memory, but based on what I saw before, I can still make such a judgment."

He sorted out his words and continued: "The so-called evil god's life form is completely different from that of ordinary creatures. His existence is attached to the 'abyss' at the bottom of the world, not just at the physical level. Even if it falls, under the conditions Under the right circumstances, they can even return from a certain concept. So in theory, they cannot be completely eliminated. A better way is to seal them."

"So, this sleeping god must have been sealed?" Zhang Jing said thoughtfully.

"This should be the case, but for some unknown reason, this god who is seeking recovery was able to reveal part of his power through the seal, almost causing a catastrophe..."

"Based on this, we can judge that the original ancestors of the islanders of Sulu Island, or at least the villagers here, are most likely the descendants of the followers of the evil god, who came here after the death of their gods. They settled down and performed sacrifices secretly. However, perhaps because there was no response for a long time, this kind of sacrifice later evolved into a simple folk custom. Even after modern times, because the empire implemented a policy of prohibiting obscene sacrifices, more The spread of the more powerful Jokhang local religion has been gradually abandoned."

"It's just that, even so, the power of prayer accumulated here for a long time has become the material for the evil god's resurrection. It was used by the evil god's priest to cause this incident. Otherwise, even if he performed a blood sacrifice, the situation would be different. It’s not going to get that bad anytime soon.”

"So, according to the teacher's judgment, the god in this incident is the one on the mural, the sea god named Argon?" Zhang Jing frowned.

"It's very possible that this is the case, but the name Argon may not be the real name of the god." Zhang Taihe explained: "According to my understanding, in ancient times, a god usually had many names, and at the same time , they often have different incarnations, and in many cases are often mistaken for different existences."

"Argon, maybe it's just a nickname. As for the specific existence... Unfortunately, I don't have this memory, and I still need to collect information in the future."

"No matter what, let's deal with this first to avoid problems happening again..." Zhang Taihe concluded.

"Well..." Feeling a little dizzy, An Huiling slowly opened her eyes. She supported her forehead with her hands and instinctively looked left and right.

The surrounding environment was dark, with a few not-so-bright lights on, illuminating the surrounding environment. It seemed that he was in a restaurant, leaning on a table at this time.At the same time, a lot of memories suddenly came to my mind, including fog, strangeness, monsters, pursuit, evil gods, teachers, senior brothers...
