Chapter 114: The Emperor Suppresses the Demon King

Chapter 114 The Emperor Suppresses the Demon King The mountain flowers have fallen, and the grass and trees have withered. Yishan changes from pink to green, and from green to colorful. Lin Jue was sitting cross-legged on a cushion in the room. A fox was squatting at the door, licking its fur seriously. The sun was rising, and sunlight slanted in from the door. It didn't feel hot on his body, but only pulled the fox's shadow in. Lin Jue stared down at the shadow, holding his breath, concentrating, circulating his magic power according to the tricks of archery mentioned in the book, and slowly reached his hand down. He turned his head and looked at the fox at the door. The finger immediately touched the top of Shadow's head. "Hmm?" The fox, who was licking his fur, immediately raised his head and looked above his head, but only saw the door frame, and couldn't help feeling strange. Looking back, he saw Lin Jue sitting in the middle of the room, not close to it, so he looked up again.

Although I was confused, I didn't think too much about it. He looked away and continued licking his fur. The shadow was also shaking slightly. Lin Jue tapped the ground with his fingers. "Tuk!" "Hmm?" The fox raised his head again and looked back at him. Lin Jue also looked at it in confusion. Then I saw it turn its head again and look to the left, then turned its head to the right, and looked up again. It flexibly raised a paw to touch its head, not understanding what was happening. "Tuk!" There was another soft sound. The fox jumped up. He looked around in circles, and then touched the air above the door, his eyes flashing and his face fierce, determined to find out what was causing the trouble. Unable to find it, I had to look at Lin Jue. Lin Jue sat cross-legged on the cushion and also looked at it with a frown. The man and the fox looked at each other, both very confused. The fox finally withdrew its gaze, sat down again, turned its head tentatively, and licked the fur on its chest, but this was just a fake move. Before it could lick it, it suddenly looked up at the sky! Not seeing anything, he lowered his head and really licked the fur. After licking it twice, he raised his head and looked up again! Lin Jue looked at it silently and continued to reach out his hand.

But this time he didn't knock. Instead, he gently scratched the shadow. "Wow..." The fox shook his head. Lin Jue scratched again. The fox felt itchy and shook his head again. Looking left and right, it really didn't know the reason. Perhaps it felt that this place was ominous, so it simply stood up and left in small steps. Lin Jue was smiling and feeling amused when he heard a noisy sound coming from outside. Lin Jue couldn't help but stick his head out. Of course, I couldn't see anything, but I could hear many voices, some of which were anxious and pleading, and some even sounded a bit like tears. "There are monsters..." "Haunted..." “It’s hurting people…” "So are we……" It seems like it’s more than just the same group of people. The wind blew the fallen leaves from the mountains in. Lin Jue casually reached out and took it. It's already a yellow leaf. The Taoist twisted the yellow leaves, watching and listening. At first, these voices were accompanied by the voice of the younger sister, and the girl's voice was easy to distinguish among them. Later, they were accompanied by the voice of the older brother and even the master's voice. Lin Jue finally couldn't sit still anymore and stood up immediately. When they reached the outer courtyard, they saw a large group of people gathered at the gate of Tianweng Temple. They were all villagers, elders and servants. They were all very anxious and talked at once, asking the Taoist from Fuqiu Temple to come down the mountain to eliminate the monster. The junior sister, senior brother and master were all standing by. I guess they all came up the mountain to ask for help today, and they met on the road, so they came together. The mountain road was hard to find and walk, so they naturally traveled together on the way here. But after arriving here, who could ask the Taoist priest to come down the mountain? Who should the Taoist priest go to? Who should he go to first? This made them anxious. At first it must have been the junior sister who came to greet them, but then there were too many people and the noise was too loud, so the eldest brother and the master were attracted over. Lin Jue's expression also became serious. In the past, there were occasionally people coming to the mountain to pray for help. After all, the world was becoming more and more chaotic, and Fuqiu Temple was no longer as secluded as it was in the previous peaceful and prosperous times. However, there were so many people from so many different places coming to the mountain to pray for help because of demons and ghosts. Naturally, there was only one reason -

Emperor Yujian used military force against the demon king here. In this Huizhou area, somewhere near or far, the heavenly soldiers and the demon king have probably already started a war. This place is not close to where the demon king is. Perhaps these monsters were unable to come to the rescue in time, or they have low abilities and were killed by the heavenly soldiers and generals in the past. So they wreaked havoc on the people and forced the gods to distract themselves. Seeing that these villagers, elders, merchants and servants were all impatient and talking one after another, the junior sister, senior brother and master had already shown helplessness. When the junior sister saw him, she kept looking at him. Lin Jue could only sigh and turn back. When he came out again, he had paper, pen and wooden board. "Don't worry, everyone. Although our temple is small, there is more than one person here. There are other hidden temples in the mountains, so there is no need to worry." Lin Jue said, holding a pen and paper. "Everyone, come here one by one and write down where you are from and what happened. We can then assign people accordingly and go there one by one." When everyone heard this, they all stopped. Lin Jue brought more than one piece of paper and more than one pen. Those who could write took it and wrote it themselves. Those who couldn't write, Lin Jue, the little sister and the eldest brother, listened to them and wrote it down. There are actually more than ten places. This is the first day we found him. If the reputation of Fuqiu Temple spreads far and wide, there may be more people on the way. "Please wait a moment, everyone. If you are anxious, you can calm down and worship Tianweng." It is probably useless to worship the Heavenly Weng. It is said that there are more than 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in the Nine Heavens Fairyland. If the Heavenly Weng is willing, it will be difficult to control all the demons in the world. It is still easy to suppress them in a state or a prefecture. Lin Jue just found something for them to do, so that they can rest for a while, for fear that they will get sick from being anxious. Several Taoists quickly arrived at the inner courtyard and the Banshan Hall. All the brothers were called out. After learning about the situation, everyone's eyes turned to the paper in Lin Jue's hand. Lin Jue did not hesitate at all: "I don't know how accurate the notes here are, but it's best to distribute them according to their expertise. My suggestion is that Brother Five stay in the mountains. If we get hurt accidentally, there are brothers who can treat us when we return. It can be regarded as a place to save our lives and feel safe. As for the rest, we can each choose the ones who are suitable and skilled and go down the mountain to eliminate them." "reasonable!" "Junior brother, please read it!" "The first piece of paper said that in Yunwuping, Yi County, there was a ghost as big as a house, covered in black smoke, that devoured living people and could roll on the road and in the mountains." "It's covered in black smoke, most of them are evil spirits. A ghost as big as a house must be very powerful." The eldest brother said, "Second brother's fire magic is the best to deal with it." "Leave it to me!" The second senior brother said, without further delay, he took the paper and explained to them: "My pills are all on the shelf in the alchemy pavilion. You all know what pills are in what color bottles. If you need them, just take them. If you don't need them, take some to save your life." After saying that, he turned around and walked out. I could faintly hear him asking outside the temple who was from Yunwuping. Someone agreed, and the Taoist went down the mountain. "This piece of paper says that in Xia Village, Yi County, rats became a river and went crazy. All the pigs, dogs, cows and sheep were drowned and eaten. People who couldn't escape were also eaten." "Ahem, let Old Seven take care of this." Taoist Yunhe coughed and said, "Old Seven, ask the Taoist friends from Jiandao Peak for help. They are suitable for dealing with these things. It just so happens that you have a good relationship with them." "Row!" Senior Brother Seven took the paper and walked out.

I also heard him asking outside who was in Xia Village. "There are also water ghosts causing trouble in Mingzhu Village, but it seems that they are not as serious as the place where Second Brother went..." "I'll go!" Sixth Senior Brother took the paper. Sixth Senior Brother’s major was in spirit writing, but he also learned how to call the wind, fire magic, and two kinds of spells, so getting rid of some evil spirits was not a problem for him. There were places where demons and ghosts were particularly rampant, so the eldest brother who had been in the mountains the longest and had the deepest Taoism skills took them there. In some places, monsters gathered in groups, rushed into the city, walked through the streets and alleys, and ate people in houses. The police could not deal with them. The third brother always believed that his ability to deal with monsters and people was the best among his brothers, even better than the eldest and second brothers, so he decisively took the sword and the wine pot and went out to take the paper. If there are mountain monsters in the village or wild beasts running rampant, it will be handed over to the fourth senior brother. Several senior brothers were assigned tasks. Lin Jue turned his head to look at the little junior sister who was standing beside him with eager eyes, then looked at the remaining papers and picked out one. "There are foxes causing trouble in Li Village, Dangshan. There are many foxes, demanding young boys and girls, killing people and setting fires." Lin Jue looked down at his feet. Sure enough, Fuyao was sitting at his feet, licking his hand, very calmly, "She is one of your kind..." I immediately made a decision and went here myself. "Qingyao is not experienced in the world, so it's not appropriate for her to act alone. I'll go with you." The master took the remaining paper, "Li Village is a bit far from here, it seems to be the farthest, and it's also closer to the demon king's temple. If something happens, I'm afraid no one will be able to rush to help. You take the mountain god's token." "The rest..." "Master, please ask your friend to quickly escort you to Xianyuan Temple." "That's good." Lin Jue said solemnly, "Master, you are not in good health right now. You must not leave the mountain." "Hehehe, Master knows." Lin Jue glanced at his fifth senior brother and exchanged glances with him, implying that he must take good care of the master. Then he took the paper, called the little junior sister with his eyes, and went out. The fox immediately stood up and followed him with its tail lowered. "This time I will meet your fellow tribesmen." The fox looked solemn, knowing that this time he might have to deal with a large group of cats, and was somewhat nervous. He took the elixir sword and walked outside, just in time to see Fourth Senior Brother following two villagers down the mountain. Five clouded leopards, two large and three small, followed them in the nearby dense forest or jumped in the woods. On the ground, a large group of wolves surrounded him and followed him down the mountain like a stream. There were even a few giant eagles circling in the sky. Most of the pilgrims in the Moving Mountain Temple had already left, and the few remaining ones were staring at them eagerly. "Excuse me, where are the folks from Pear Village?" "I am the old one." An old villager stood up and said. "I am Lin Jue, and this time my brother and I will accompany the villagers back to our hometown to eliminate the monster. Please lead the way." "This……"

Seeing that they were not very old, probably around 28 or 29 years old, the village elder couldn't help but hesitate. But then the Taoist priest named Lin took out a piece of paper from his arms and shouted "Show your donkey". When it landed on the ground, white smoke rose and it turned into a gray donkey. "The mountain road is difficult to travel, please, old sir." Lin Jue pointed at the donkey's back and made a gesture of invitation. The remaining people in the temple were all shocked. In fact, many people just heard that there was a Taoist master in Fuqiu Temple of Yishan Mountain. It happened that the demons were rampant and they came in a hurry. There was no other way, so they just came to try their luck. After seeing this scene, they knew that the rumors were true. The village elder no longer hesitated and thanked him repeatedly, but said that he came here on a mule and the mule was tied outside. Mules naturally have better leg strength. The two men went out and helped him onto the mule, then they went down the mountain with their swords in hand. The fox went downhill and with just one light jump it covered several feet, and its figure quickly disappeared on the mountain road. (End of this chapter)
