Chapter 412: Master Fan and the Spirits Master Fan's coming here today was not on a whim. He already knew how powerful the Queen Mother of the East was. He stayed in the capital. The people in the capital might not know the battle situation in the four counties of Modu Mountain, but he had been paying attention to the information from there, and even had correspondence with Ziyun County and Jiguang County. He knew that it was a monster that the two True Lords had been working together in the lower world for several months but could not defeat, and it was a demon king that the True Lords had to rely on the power of thunder to deal with. I feel guilty about staying in the capital. That's his hometown. The people of the capital were ignorant and often talked about things out of simple curiosity, so they were easy to deal with. Even if some people asked with malicious speculation and questioning why Master Fan didn't go, it would not reach his ears. But the civil and military officials in the court would ask him, and those strange people in Juxian Mansion who stayed in the capital and dared not go out to exorcise monsters would also ask him, but these were not so easy to deal with. Why do you always stay in the capital? Why was it that that was the hometown of the Heavenly Master, but the Heavenly Master just sat there and watched it being ravaged by monsters and let others deal with it? Why did Master Lin go to the Northeast, Master Nan also went to the Northeast, the Taoist priest of Zhenjian Palace also went to the Northeast, and even Taoist priest Yushan also went to the Northeast? Master Fan was born there, but had the nerve to stay in the capital? The battle over there is at a stalemate, why doesn't Master Fan go and help? Why did Master Fan, who had gone alone to the bank of the Wei River in anger after drinking, now stand still as still as a mountain? Some were curious, some were questioning, and some were instigating.
Master Fan often couldn't open his mouth and found it difficult to answer. Even if you can deal with others, it is still difficult to deal with yourself. That's his hometown. It was the end of summer, and the weather had been muggy for a few days, accumulating the annual thunderstorm. With his intelligence, how could he not have predicted it? Today, the wind and rain came, and the thunder roared, as if the power of heaven was released. How could he not know that this was the time for the True Lord's general attack? There was a monster in the capital city who was good at divination. Master Fan had heard of it before and had tried to deal with it, but it was honest by nature and seemed to know his background, so it always treated him with disdain, neither exposing him nor paying any attention to him. Today he was wavering in his thoughts and went to ask for advice. The monster changed its attitude, which was rare, and treated him with more respect and friendliness, and courteousness. Master Fan then knew—— I was going to Jiguang County. The monster is good at divination and prediction. It knows the current situation in Jiguang County, knows what to ask it, and knows what decision it will make. That's why it did this. Then there is no need to ask anymore. The monster told him the answer in advance. After drinking a mouthful of boiling hot tea and standing up to greet it, Master Fan Tianshi came here. Therefore, it is not entirely correct to say that he was instigated by someone, just like the Alligator King last time. When he arrived here, he saw the towering ancient tree smash the body of the god general with one blow, scatter thousands of heavenly soldiers with one whip, and collapse the wall of Jiguang City with a sweep of its branches. Demons and ghosts swarmed in. The strange men and generals and soldiers on the wall fought hard, but to no avail. He knew - It was right for me to come here. This is not correct to say that he could save Jiguang County by coming here, but that if he did not come here, he would have watched Nan Tianshi and the strange men from Juxian Mansion come to his hometown and die here because of protecting his hometown, and all the folks in the city would have been eaten by monsters. He would never be able to face himself in his life, and the so-called Fan Tianshi would have become a joke. How to choose between peace of mind and physical well-being? This is not the first time he has made this decision.
Not even the second time. Who doesn’t have a dream of becoming a god who can exorcise demons and monsters? "monster!!" Master Fan opened his eyes wide and shouted. At this time, there was a simple altar in front of him, on which was placed a statue of a god that was no longer clearly visible due to the vicissitudes of time, an incense burner, two pairs of red candles, three incense sticks, and some offerings. In addition, there were only a few spirits who followed him and could not be persuaded to leave, guarding him. I came here today with the intention of dying, but I am also willing to give it a try. Master Fan knew that he had nothing to bet on except for one thing, which was the unclear statue he encountered when he was traveling northwest of Qinzhou and staying overnight in a dilapidated temple in the mountains. This god once helped him to exorcise demons. It's hard to tell whether it was done for him or just a casual act. But its power is unquestionable. This statue is too old. Even though Master Fan has been worshipping it ever since, he still doesn't know its name. He only knows that it should belong to a true martial god in heaven. In the distance, the Queen Mother of the East was still destroying the city, and the monsters were still slaughtering people. Fan Tianshi did not dare to delay, so he just lit a stick of incense and began to shout: "God, may the gods be above! I am Fan Yuchen, courtesy name Chuying, from Jiguang County, Qinzhou. I am now outside Jiguang City. The demon king, Queen Mother Dong, in the Modu Mountain is trying to destroy the city and devour people. To help me improve my cultivation, please ask God to show up in the lower world to eliminate the demon! Please ask God to show up in the lower world to eliminate the demon!" After he finished shouting the first sentence, Queen Mother Dong seemed to notice him. In the distance, the ancient immortal tree rooted outside the city turned its head and looked at him kindly. However, she was some distance away from here, and even though she was extremely huge, it was difficult for her to reach out her hand. She seemed to think that he was not a concern, and that this mortal was not worth her moving her feet, so she just took a glance and then withdrew her gaze, raised the branch high, and continued to pound the city wall. "Boom!" There was a loud thunder and lightning appeared. The branch started from the roof of the arrow tower at the city gate, and smashed the entire arrow tower and the four-meter-high city wall into the ground. The statue in front remained motionless. Master Fan was not surprised and continued to shout quickly: "Jiguang is about to break into the city. The tens of thousands of civilians and thousands of brave men and righteous men in the city are about to become blood food for the monsters. Please, Lord God, show yourself in the world to eliminate the monsters!" "Fan, Tianshi Fan! A monster is coming!" "This monster is extremely arrogant and despises the gods. Please ask the Lord to show up in the lower world to eliminate the monster!" Tianshi Fan saw a group of monsters coming from afar, some of which were big monsters. He did not move at all and kept talking. "If the Lord is willing to go down to the lower world to eliminate the monsters this time, I will build a hundred temples for the Lord! I will give up everything in the capital and travel around for the Lord in person, preaching and teaching, and collecting incense from all over the world!" The statue remained unmoved, leaving only the green smoke floating away naturally. Thunder exploded in the sky and the monster approached madly. "Since the Divine Lord was willing to help eliminate the demons in the northwest of Qinzhou, why is he unwilling to do so today? Can the True Lord just watch the demons wreak havoc and the lives of the people be destroyed?" Master Fan's eyes were bleeding and his teeth were bleeding. "Master Fan! Those monsters are getting closer!" Hundreds of monsters attacked from afar, the first of which was a giant bear, which rushed forward wildly with the force of a landslide.
There are huge falcons in the sky, and there are many monsters, including jackals, dogs, leopards, pigs, horses, cows, sheep, snakes, insects, rats, cats, and even the rarest pangolins and hedgehogs. There are all kinds of monsters, and each of them is extremely ferocious. "I sincerely burn incense and offer sacrifices every day. I know that the statue has spirits, and the Lord of Gods will surely hear me! Please help me from the lower world!" "Master Fan..." "Could it be that the Lord God is afraid of her? Since we met in the northwest, for ten years, I have sincerely offered sacrifices and cleaned the statue every day. Could it be that the Lord God cannot help me again for the sake of this fate and friendship?!" "Master! I'm waiting for you!" A mountain monster suddenly grew larger and faced the giant bear. An old ghost transformed into his original form and rushed into the sky. Several monsters displayed their magical powers and went up to fight the enemy. However, facing the aggressive demon soldiers and generals on the opposite side, they were greatly outnumbered in both numbers and skills. "Fan begs the Lord of God to come down to the world to help!" The golden eagle in the sky emitted golden light, almost knocking the old ghost away. "The monster eats people. If the Lord God is unwilling to help, then he is not worthy of being a God! My sincere worship over the years will be in vain, and all my respect will be in vain!" The giant bear suddenly charged and knocked the mountain monster away. "Then I'll smash your statue!!" Master Fan, like Master Nan, raised an iron hammer. But the statue remained unmoved. Master Fan raised the hammer high, but was unable to strike. This true god once saved his life and also created the human myth of "Master Fan". "Today I have brought the statue of the Lord of God here. If the Lord of God does not take action, the statue will be destroyed by these monsters! The Lord of God has great magical powers and boundless magic power. His majesty cannot be offended. Can he tolerate his statue being damaged by these monsters?" Those monsters are already around. There were wolf demons holding big knives, leopards as fast as the wind, snake demons with human upper bodies and snake tails, black bulls standing up like humans holding iron hammers, giant deer as tall as two or three feet, yakshas, mandrills, corpse demons, and pretty women, monkey demons with hands longer than humans... There are hundreds of them, all of them are extremely murderous. The spirits that rushed forward to protect him were drowned. The snake demon held a fan in his hand, waving it to create black smoke, and attacked from the left. The black bull threw the hammer in his hand directly and smashed it from the right. Below, the wolf demon and the leopard were running side by side. One of them rushed forward like the wind, his eyes fixed on Master Fan's throat, while the other one was holding a big knife, and before he got close, he was ready to chop at him on the head. Many more monsters followed closely behind. In front of Master Fan Tianshi, there is only this simple altar. No one knew whether the black smoke would overturn the altar first, or kill the Taoist priest first; no one knew whether the iron hammer would smash the statue first, or kill Master Fan first; and no one knew whether the wolf demon's sword would smash the statue's head first, or kill the daring and fearless Taoist priest first. Many eyes were staring at him.
There were monsters that came to take his life, and there were also monsters that heard that he was coming to the Northeast and followed him from the capital, and were unwilling to leave to protect him. There were also strange people on the distant city walls who noticed the movement here. But suddenly, everything was silent. The black smoke dissipated and the hammer stopped in the air. The leopard stopped moving forward, and the wolf demon's sword stopped a few inches above the altar and Master Fan's head. Even the hawks were frozen in the air. Everything seems like a painting, frozen in time. But Master Fan saw it clearly, and the monsters who came to protect him also saw it clearly. In the eyes of these monsters, extreme fear condensed very slowly. In the distance, the Queen Mother of the East was swinging her branches to destroy the city, but suddenly she stopped halfway and turned to look over. The next moment, a burst of divine power surged. "boom……" With the roar of thunder and the appearance of lightning, all the monsters and their weapons and magical tools were turned into dust and disappeared into ashes. There was a figure holding a sword in the sky. (End of this chapter)
