Chapter 452: The Battle between Taoists

Chapter 452: The Battle between Taoists Although there was only one bolt of lightning, it branched out and grew layer by layer after it struck, hitting Yushan's front and back yards, the main hall, the side halls, the roof and the ground, and immediately caught fire and scattered gravel. Many pilgrims had just walked to the foot of the mountain and when they looked back, they saw lightning marks in their eyes that lasted for a long time. Some pilgrims who walked slowly had not even descended the mountain yet. When he saw those armored soldiers descending from the sky and the giant armored god taller than the mountain, he realized that the abilities of Master Lin as rumored in the world were all true. "Get away!" Many pilgrims left in a hurry. On the top of Jade Mountain, there was not even a suitable place for Long Bo Dou Bing to stand, so he could only stand on the sloping mountain, holding the golden whip, and hit towards the palace. "Oh!" With one whip, several rooms were shattered. With a push of his left hand, the courtyard wall collapsed like a thin brick.

"stop!" A golden light flashed in the Yushan Taoist Temple. An old Taoist priest came first and summoned golden light to protect his body. He waved his left sleeve and threw out a two-foot square black cloth with brocade edges and silver cloud patterns on it. It spun and flew into the sky. As soon as the black cloth flew out, it swelled in the wind, and soon expanded from two feet square to more than twenty feet, and it was still growing. In the blink of an eye, the black cloth had grown to more than ten feet wide. If viewed from below, it would cover the sky and block out the sun. If viewed from above, it would almost cover the entire Yushan Baiqing Palace. "boom!" Lightning strikes it, making it almost impossible to penetrate. Long Bo raised the golden whip high and smashed it down hard. However, such a huge force, when hitting the black cloth, only caused waves. "call……" A huge six-tailed white fox appeared beside Lin Jue, lowered its head and opened its mouth, spitting out golden flames that hit the black cloth directly. I saw the silver lines on the black cloth emitting bursts of bright light. As the black cloth kept spinning, the entire surface of the black cloth seemed to be glowing, actually blocking the oncoming solar spiritual fire and crushing it. “Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!” "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Twelve flying swords shot out quickly, and two long swords slashed through the air while spinning. They hit the black cloth, but still could not penetrate it. Instead, they were blocked and even thrown away. This piece of black cloth was like some mysterious nothingness covering the sky above the Baiqing Palace on Yushan Mountain. No force could penetrate it. "What a clever barrier!" Lin Jue in the sky watched and quickly came up with a countermeasure in his mind. The fox also tilted his head, looking thoughtful.

Then the Taoist chanted a spell and waved his hands to call for the wind. The fox retracted its legs and tail, and the whole fox turned into a white arrow, falling straight down and escaping into the mountains. “Hoooooo!!” The storm between heaven and earth suddenly intensified. A strong wind came from east to west, causing the black cloth to sway. It then blew from bottom to top, even lifting up the eastern corner of the black cloth. "Hold on!" The old Taoist's angry rebuke came from below. The eastern corner of the black cloth was immediately pressed down. After finally stabilizing it, another gust of wind came, still blowing from bottom to top, but from west to east, using the force of pressing down the eastern corner of the cloth to lift up the western corner of the cloth! Such a sudden change made it difficult for people to react in time, and the panic caused by the white fox that suddenly emerged from under the black cloth caused the strong wind to blow the cloth away! Yushan Baiqing Palace appeared before Lin Jue's eyes again. But he dodged sideways at the first moment. "brush!" I saw two middle-aged Taoists beside the old Taoist below, one on the left and one on the right, stabbing long swords at Lin Jue in the air. The sword was clearly only three feet long, but with the Taoist's sharp eyes, the magic on his body, and the incantations he chanted, it suddenly stretched out dozens of feet and stabbed towards Lin Jue's shoulders. Fortunately, the strong wind helped and gave him more agility. Lin Jue dodged to the side and saw a sharp sword breaking through the air. He held the sword in one hand and pushed it forward, and the sharp sword pierced past him. With his other hand, he put the scabbard behind his back and leaned it on the other sword. He could even feel the hissing sound from the friction between the two. "Fellow Daoist, please calm down!" The voice of a middle-aged Taoist came from below. "How can I stay calm? A month has passed, and my sister is still lying in bed injured! Since you already know how powerful the monster is, and you have admitted that you ordered my sister to get rid of the monster, what else is there to say?" Lin Jue stretched out his hand and twelve flying swords and two long swords flew from all directions and gathered towards the two middle-aged Taoist priests. "I'm just too lazy to pay attention to what you say, not that I can't refute it!" At this time, the strong wind had already blown the black cloth away, rising straight up, and in a few breaths it was dozens of feet above the ground. At the same time, in the Baiqing Palace, many soldiers were in neat formation, attacking and defending in an orderly manner, and fighting with the Taoists who were protected by golden light. Swish, swish, swish! One after another, long swords stabbed into the sky like silver thorns. The Taoist flew in the sky, riding the wind and clouds, holding a sword and fighting with these long swords. The armored giant below kept whipping and punching, smashing the palace into pieces. A huge rock from below suddenly flew up and hit Lin Jue. The mountain is falling! The boulder had just flown up more than ten feet when it suddenly gained an extra weight of tens of thousands of pounds and was forced down. Then a golden light flashed, shining on the Taoist priest below. When Taoist Master Yushan was dazzled, the bean soldiers were not affected, and the fox just happened to escape underground. The twelve flying swords and two long swords were even less affected. When the fox came out from the ground and the flying swords shot again from all directions, Taoist Master Yushan immediately suffered a great loss.

A group of young Taoists fell down. The Yushan heritage is equally long, and these Taoists are not to be outdone. They form a formation, chant spells, and throw out their swords at the same time. There was a sound of breaking through the air and cutting the wind. At the urging of the two old Taoists, dozens of long swords flew up and tried to surround Lin Jue from all directions. However, Lin Jue was not afraid at all, he just stretched out his hand and pointed: Dragon transformation play! There were more than a hundred rat snakes in the sky, spinning and twisting their bodies, colliding with each other and falling down. Suddenly, a violent gust of wind blew up between heaven and earth! The tile roofs of the last few houses in Baiqing Palace were also blown off. Many Taoists were blown away, hit the courtyard wall, and were crushed under the bricks and stones, with a scream in agony! Compared to a hundred years ago, this person is much more capable. …… The appearance of the capital city is no longer as good as it used to be, but today, the lifeless streets of the capital city suddenly became bustling and lively. "Master Lin is back!" "Master Lin is fighting with the Taoist priests of Baiqing Palace at Yushan! Go and see! The sky is full of strong winds, the roofs are blown off, and thunder is striking again and again! What a grand scene!" "It turns out that Master Lin is truly a deity!" "Huh? What?" "Didn't you say you can't watch it?" The news that Master Lin returned to the capital and went to Yushan and had a duel with the Taoist priest of Yushan spread like wildfire and became a hot topic in the capital. Someone reported to the Ministry of Rites immediately. In those days, the Ministry of Rites's Shrine Department was quite active in its work. Wu Lingshi ran to Juxian Mansion immediately and informed Wan Xinrong and others. Wan Xinrong and others were also shocked. In the past few years, they stayed in the Juxian Mansion in the capital because of the chaos in the world and the frequent appearance of monsters and ghosts inside and outside the capital. They also dealt with Taoist Master Yushan several times and caught ghosts and eliminated monsters together several times. They knew that although these Taoists were not easy to get along with, they were not evil. Why did Master Lin go to fight these Taoists first when he returned to the capital without even knowing it? After a brief discussion, I finally understood. I heard that some time ago, due to the war in the north of Qinzhou, countless people died, which attracted a big monster from the south. It is said that the monster was very powerful. The Taoist priests from Yushan went there but could not defeat it, so they asked Master Lin's junior sister to get rid of it. In the end, I don't know how Master Lin's junior sister got rid of it. I only know that although the monster died, Master Lin's junior sister was also injured. There must be some trick here! Wan Xinrong and others did not delay any longer. They gathered everyone together and rushed to Yushan. I thought there would be another legendary scene of soldiers surrounding Yushan Mountain a hundred years ago, but when I arrived at Yushan Mountain, I found that the fight was over in just a few minutes. There was no trace of Master Lin on Yushan Mountain long ago. Only the ruins of a Taoist temple stood on the top of the mountain. Even the mountain wall was in a mess. The forest was full of traces of the raging wind. Taoist Master Yushan was seriously injured. Many curious people gathered at the foot of the mountain to watch and discuss the matter with great interest. They were still reluctant to leave. "My friend, what happened just now?" "You're late! Master Lin has already left!" "Is it really a fight? Who will win or lose?" "Need I say that? Look at the Taoist temples on the mountain. They have all been demolished. Countless Taoist priests from Yushan have been injured. You know that!" "Can you tell me in detail?" "Isn't that what everyone is saying? You didn't see the scene just now, what a pity!" The man described it vividly, gesticulating with joy, "Master Lin waved his hand and summoned the heavenly soldiers and generals, and waved his hand again to summon the golden-armored giant god in the sky. With another wave of his hand, wind and thunder raged, and the sky was full of sword lights. This is the first time I have seen such magic skills in my life..."

"Tell me more about what happened!" "I don't know either. I only know that when I came to Yushan to burn incense, Nan Tianshi said that the gods in Guanxing Palace were immoral, so we didn't go to Guanxing Palace. But there were too many people in Zhenjian Palace, so we had to come to Yushan. But I had just climbed to the top of the mountain when I heard a strong wind. The voice of Master Lin came from the sky, saying that he wanted to fight with the Taoist priests in Yushan to settle the grudges, and asked us to get down the mountain quickly. Oh, I also heard Master Lin say..." After hearing what the pilgrim said, Wan Xinrong was sure that it was Lin Zhenren without a doubt. At the same time, he also pieced together the cause of the incident from the pilgrim's mouth, which was roughly the same as what they guessed. It's just that they know more about Master Lin and the Taoist priests of Yushan, so they can guess more from them - Master Lin must have been dissatisfied because his junior sister was tricked into exorcising the demon by them. Moreover, when he came back and saw that his junior sister was seriously injured, he naturally came to seek justice. It is said that Master Lin and his junior sister had been studying Taoism together in the mountains since they were young, and they were as close as brother and sister. After returning from a long journey, he found that his junior sister was injured so seriously. Anyone would be angry. But now it seems that although Master Lin was angry, he also thought of the contributions of Taoist Priest Yushan to the people of the capital, and thought that the people of the capital still needed these Taoist Priest Yushan to exorcise demons, so he only dismantled the temple and injured people, but did not really kill them. Correspondingly, the Taoist priests of Yushan also knew that Master Lin came to seek justice and calm his anger, so until the end of the fight, no matter how heavy the damage was, he did not use the green jade treasures passed down from his ancestors of Baiqing Palace. Otherwise, even Master Lin would not be able to win. Just as the legend said a hundred years ago. This is a battle between Taoists and people. Taoists are also human beings. As human beings, we have joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Everyone has their own thoughts, so disputes are inevitable. However, this is different from exorcising demons and monsters. Everyone went up the mountain to take another look, and were frightened several times before going down the mountain and returning to the capital to wait. (End of this chapter)
