Chapter 359 Beichen Five Methods After walking for dozens of miles, we met another group of people. Lin Jue sat on the back of the egret and looked down. He first saw Master Nan Tian, ​​Master Yun Chan, and An Boxi who had fought with Master Dazu in the palace. The egret flapped its wings a few times, and a group of Taoists appeared on the official road in the forest below. Taoist Qingxuan, Taoist Jiang, and Junior Brother Ma were walking in front. Lin Jue patted the egret's neck, but before he could say anything, the egret understood what he meant and flew away. "Brother Qingxuan, Fellow Daoist Jiang." The Taoist got off the egret and spoke to them. "Friend Lin is here!" Taoist Qingxuan was a little surprised. "Fellow Daoist, you have returned to Huizhou and stayed there for a long time." Taoist Master Jiang said calmly. "It's peaceful on the mountain, I don't know how long I've been there." Lin Jue said, "I came here immediately after I found out that you burned the old cow talisman."

"Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist." said Taoist Master Jiang. "Fellow Daoist Lin, are you also determined to join us in dealing with King Jinhua?" Taoist Qingxuan asked. "Of course." Lin Jue bowed and said, "Since the Taoist priests from Yushan are not traveling with you this time, I will make up for it." "Is Fellow Daoist Lin the only one there?" "Mr. Luo, Fellow Daoist Wan and the others are still behind." Lin Jue said, "But my junior sister is still in Yishan. Otherwise, her skills are not inferior to mine, and she is also a great help." "Then let's go together?" "Brother Dao, do you know what's going on ahead?" "I know a little, but not much. I only know that after the leopard king suffered a setback last year, he hibernated in the cave for a year. A few days ago, he suddenly came out of the mountain, bypassed the guards, and kidnapped many people from Hansong County. Then he took these people back to Leopard Forest." Taoist Qingxuan sighed, "This is what the local god told me in a dream." "This is not the way to go." "Who said it wasn't?" Taoist Qingxuan said, "It's a pity that the Taoists from Yushan went to Yunmeng County. Otherwise, with Fellow Daoist Lin, we could have tried to conquer it in one fell swoop." "Why not give it a try?" "Fellow Daoist, what you mean is..." While they were talking, Master Nan Tianshi and his group behind them also caught up, and more and more people gathered behind them. When everyone saw Lin Jue, they were stunned at first, and then there was a hint of hope in their eyes. "Master Lin..." "Master Lin is here?" "Where did Master Lin come from?" "Is there any hope now?" Then Master Lin asked how many soldiers the Leopard King had and what abilities he possessed.

Nan Tianshi had been confronting the Leopard King in the northwest for several years. Upon hearing this, he rode out on horseback and replied: "The Leopard King originally had four demon generals under his command, but Master Fan asked the gods to kill one of them, but he was replaced later. Last year, Fellow Daoist Lin killed one of them and seriously injured another one. I don't know if he has been replaced. He has hundreds or even thousands of demon soldiers under his command." Nan Tianshi paused: “These demon soldiers are nothing. Even if we didn’t have the help of Zhenjian Palace and the heavenly soldiers under the command of the Heavenly Fire God, we and the Taoist priests of Yushan could have eliminated quite a few of them. "Although the Leopard King has great abilities, if it is alone, it cannot capture too many people, and it cannot eat much on the spot. After the gods helped, the demon king had his own gods to watch over him, and we prevented him from capturing people. We also killed many young demons who had just achieved enlightenment, and even killed quite a few when we entered the Leopard Forest. "But if you go deeper, you will reach the demon king's cave. Once there, you will see the demon king's 'soldiers' everywhere. Anything can come alive to fight against you. In the blink of an eye, he can reverse the sun and moon, turning day into darkness. Even thousands of troops will be difficult to deal with. "And the Leopard King came and went like the wind, with infinite strength. Even the Skyfire God had difficulty fighting it before." Lin Jue listened and thought. It seems to be the ability of General Wolf and General Baodeng. It seems that the magic of these two was passed down from this demon king. This kind of magic is really difficult to deal with. Especially the soul-transferring spell. It might not be convenient to use this spell when you are normally traveling outside. But if you have your own mountain gate, cave, palace or temple, and have enough time to prepare statues and slowly practice the rituals, you can create a fortress with thousands of troops. The Leopard King even passed this spell to other monsters, and those monsters could continue to create statues and offer sacrifices to it. No wonder even the gods and heavenly soldiers could not break through. "At the end of last year and the spring of this year, several counties around Leopard Forest built temples for Lord Yili and Lord Tianhuo, and most of the people in these counties also worshipped them sincerely. The power of the Lord Tianhuo has increased. This time we may be able to attack the Leopard King's cave. Even if the people who were abducted are dead, we must take them back. If we can't take them back, we must burn them to prevent them from becoming the practice sites of these monsters." Tianshi Nan said, "Is Master Lin willing to help?" "If you don't want to help, what am I doing here?" Lin Jue said firmly, "Since you guys don't know the current situation in Baolin, I will go check it out for you first." After saying this, he no longer hesitated, took out a Chen Niu talisman and gave it to Taoist Jiang, then rode away on a heron. Ahead is the leopard forest. This is a vast mountain forest, and like the Leopard Spring deep in the forest, it is named after the many leopards. Although it is named after the forest, it is actually very large. Deep in the leopard forest is the Leopard Spring, which is the lair of the Leopard King. In the past, most of the extraordinary people and masters in the Juxian Mansion and the Taoist priests in Yushan would stay outside the Leopard Forest and guard a few Zhenjun Temples to prevent monsters in the mountains from coming out to harm people. If there were small monsters, they would get rid of them. If they encountered big monsters, they would hide in the Zhenjun Temples or gather together to resist. It's quite bitter anyway. The situation improved only after Zhenjian Palace came to the capital. However, even though they are the Nine Heavens Gods, they are not the Earth Gods, and they cannot go anywhere in the world at a moment's notice, nor are they omnipresent. Only in places where there are statues of gods and believers who sincerely worship them can the gods use the mysterious charm of the statues to come and go instantly. If there are no statues of gods, they must fly or even walk. That is why there are people in the world who encounter gods and immortals on the road, and why there are people who see the newly appointed Earth God walking by. The magical power of gods is not strong everywhere, but becomes weaker the farther away from the temple statues. That’s why there’s a need to build mountains and temples and develop faith. Last year, the Leopard King was defeated and retreated to his lair. The Zhenjian Palace was not idle either, but took the opportunity to build temples and statues in several counties outside the Leopard Forest to spread faith among the people. That's why Master Nan Tianshi said that the God of Heavenly Fire could not defeat it before, but now the power of the God has increased. Lin Jue flew closer on a egret and looked down. He found that this was not the demon mountain with evil spirits, corpses, blood and bones everywhere as he had imagined. Instead, the scenery was unexpectedly beautiful. It was autumn, and from a high point, I could see lush red leaves in the mountains, golden reeds and meadows. A stream ran through the mountains, and each section had a different color, some were azure blue, some were transparent green. Even the same section had different shades of color at the edge and in the middle. Looking further into the distance, I could see many small lakes, like gems of different sizes and colors, embedded in the red and yellow mountains, and gradually disappeared in the mist. "It is indeed a blessed place."

Lin Jue no longer dared to fly forward. Although Fellow Daoist Bai Lu is close to becoming a spirit, he is still just an egret after all. If he encounters a flying spirit or a bird of prey, he may be in danger. If he falls, he will be in great danger. Soon the Taoist landed in the forest and returned to his original size. When I looked around, I saw that it was different from what I saw in heaven. All I saw was dense forests all around, with lush branches and leaves, so that sunlight could hardly penetrate. The ground was also covered with weeds and thorns, making it difficult to move. A white shadow flashed across the woods. A fox with a backpack on its back jumped over. As if it was afraid that the weeds and thorns on the ground would mess up its hair, it stood horizontally on the trunk of a tree and tilted its head to look at Lin Jue. "Thank you for your hard work." Lin Jue said to fellow Taoist Bai Lu, "This place is dangerous, you should wait for us outside." "Ah~" The egret cried out, flapped its wings, and flew out of the forest and up into the blue sky. "You worked hard too." Lin Jue took the small bag off the fox's back, and the fox cooperated with him obediently. "The leopard king's lair is deep in this dense forest. Now it has come out to cause trouble again. I don't believe that there are no goblins or ghosts in this forest acting as spies." Lin Jue said to the fox, "I am not as good as you in this regard. We have to find one or two of them." The fox did not answer, but just yawned lazily. A long sword appeared out of nowhere and was held in Lin Jue's hand. He pinched a few beans in his other hand, looked around vigilantly, and walked forward carefully. The fox still refused to land and kept jumping on the tree trunk, stepping on the vertical trunk as if it were flat ground. Not long after walking, the fox turned its head and looked in one direction. But it immediately showed a look of doubt. There was nothing there. Moreover, it was not a shady place with lush grass and trees, but rather a place with relatively sparse branches and leaves of the forest. There was no sunlight anywhere else, but there were beams of light that penetrated through the branches and leaves of the forest, casting spots on the ground, which was even more eye-catching in the dark and dense forest. "what?" Lin Jue noticed something unusual about the fox. "Strange~" The fox stood horizontally on the tree, tilting its head to look in that direction. "The world is vast, the heroes here listen to my command! The spiritual light is like a wash, illuminating the eternal darkness! Demons and ghosts are coming, do not hide from the light! Yin and Yang three realms, my curse will appear as soon as you appear!" Lin Jue did not hesitate and recited the revealing spell that he hadn't recited for a long time. But there was no response from that side either. The fox still tilted its head, staring at the light spot on the ground, then raised its head to look at the sun in the sky, looking at the light shining through the woods and outlined by the dust spores in the air. Suddenly, it jumped to the side the distance of a tree, still lying sideways, and opened its mouth to spit towards the sky.

"call!" A stream of black smoke came out and stayed halfway up the tree, just blocking out the sunlight from the sky. Something wonderful happened—— There was no light in the sky anymore, but there were still spots of sunlight on the ground. They were irregular in shape and of varying sizes, glowing and becoming more and more conspicuous in the increasingly dark forest. The monster there seemed to notice something was wrong and suddenly moved. Only then did Lin Jue realize that they were actually two sika deer. These two sika deer are slightly different from ordinary sika deer. Their bodies are the color of dead grass and have patterns on them, exactly the same as the weeds on the ground. Their antlers have completely turned into dead branches, and the golden spots on their bodies are shining like the sunlight. The abilities that ordinary sika deer have become magical powers for them. Two pairs of eyes looked at Lin Jue and the fox. There was a loud bang in the originally silent forest! The sika deer suddenly stood up and ran away! But they are fast, and the fox is faster. Lin Jue’s flying sword is also fast. The grass debris in the forest had just been blown up and the spots on the sika deer's body had just dimmed when a flying sword pierced the hind leg of the sika deer at the back, while the sika deer in the front was held down by the five-tailed white fox. "boom……" Two sika deer fell to the ground one after another, crushing a lot of weeds. The grass clippings were flying again, and birds were taking off in the forest. Just like the best hunter in the forest hunting, the escape, the chase, and the final kill only take a moment, and the silence of the dense forest has been broken. "Yo~~" The sika deer kicked its legs and screamed at the top of its lungs. With a slap, the fox slapped it in the face! "You'll die if you scream again." It's like "advising you to frown". The forest immediately became quiet. (End of this chapter)
