Chapter 370: One more spell? When Lin Jue left the Leopard King's lair, he found that Luo Gong, Taoist Jiang and others had also retreated. After a little questioning, he learned that they were also forced out by the army of Leopard King's statues. Luo Gong quickly asked, "What's the situation inside?" "It's just like outside, full of statues, and they are taller, bigger, and more spiritual than the ones outside. Many of the statues are simply soaking in the Leopard Spring to absorb the spiritual energy." Lin Jue said, "The monster is just like what the Skyfire God said, it can't leave the spiritual spring in the mountain for the time being. The God has also set up a mystery to trap it, but it may not be easy to break in." "It is not appropriate to set fire to the mountain here..." "Yes, there is water everywhere. Even the Heavenly Fire God is unwilling to enter. I guess this monster also has the magic to control water." "I can only use the stupid method..." "Um……" Lin Jue frowned in thought. The so-called stupid method is naturally the method of besieging a city. The God of Sky Fire will seal off this place, so the monster cannot escape. In its current state, it dares not leave Leopard Spring at will. No matter how many statues there are in the mountains, it can slowly break them down as long as there is enough time.
In the following days, Lin Jue went deep into the mountains and forests several times. Sometimes he went in alone with Fuyao, sometimes he went in with Luo Gong and Daoist Jiang, and sometimes he brought a few more people with him to catch the Leopard King. Sometimes he did not go too deep, but led many martial artists, Taoist priests, and strange people to fight hard with the statues on the edge of the mountain. Extraordinary people and talented people will be rewarded if they register with Juxian Mansion. Many of these statues are made of bronze and iron, and they can all be exchanged for money, so the efforts of the martial artists are not in vain. There is no need to talk about the Taoist priest of Zhenjian Palace. In the past few days, Lin Jue often saw the leopard king, but it was not willing to fight with Lin Jue again and mostly avoided him. They had fought once and they separated in a split second. Many times, before Lin Jue could find it, he was discovered by it and surrounded by its army of statues. Many times it simply hides in the cave and doesn't come out. Sometimes when Lin Jue saw it, it did not use the huge bronze leopard statue as its body, but its soul appeared. Once it was found, it hid among the statues on the mountain and disappeared. If a divine general appeared in the mortal world, it would control the water and turn into a dragon, and hide in caves or even under the Leopard Spring, leaving the divine general helpless. Apparently it has made up its mind - Relying on the spiritual charm of the mountain and the statues in the mountain, he could fight with them in attack and defense, either to seek victory or to delay time and reshape his body. These wood carvings, stone carvings, bronze statues and iron statues are actually very powerful, especially the bronze statues and iron statues that have been refined for many years. They are invulnerable to swords and spears and have infinite strength. Once activated, they are more difficult to deal with than the elite soldiers among the demon soldiers. When they rush over in groups, the mountains and forests tremble, and the sense of oppression is even greater than that of thousands of troops. In the past few days, Lin Jue no longer uses the Flower Blooming Moment easily. In addition to the fact that this spell consumes a lot of mana, there is another important reason, that is, all spells in the world are mutually reinforcing and counteracting, and have many weaknesses and are infinitely mysterious. This "Flower Blooms in an Instant" spell is powerless against metal. This is one of Lin Jue's most powerful spells, and he is afraid that after a long time, this will be discovered by others. This makes the efficiency even lower. Lin Jue couldn't help but feel troubled. …… Another half month passed and the situation remained the same.
There is a tent in the forest. Originally, this place was the Demon King's heartland, a place that ordinary people in the world dared not reach. Even the strange men and women in the Juxian Mansion rarely fought here, but now they have set up camp here. There was a large tent in the middle, where Lin Jue sat cross-legged, frowning in thought and muttering to himself. “No wonder God said it would take half a year…” If we ignore the casualties, perhaps the time can be advanced by one or two months. But how can this be done? Nowadays, the world is not peaceful, and the atmosphere in the court is not good. If the officials do not follow suit, at least eight out of ten officials in the world have problems. There are not many people who have justice in their hearts, and there are not many people who have the ability to uphold justice. There are even fewer people who have both. In the entire capital, most of the people who are willing to slay demons and monsters are here. If the loss is heavy, it will be a loss for the whole world. It sounds like taking it step by step is a good idea. But Lin Jue doesn't think so. There are two reasons: First, this demon king is using the spiritual power of the Leopard Spring to nourish his soul and reshape his body with his magical powers, so he shouldn't delay too long. That's why he went deep into the leopard forest several times. Second, the "Niangniang Yaohua" said before, "The mind determines blessing and misfortune, and the choice determines safety and danger." Originally, the result of his analysis was: this place might be more dangerous, after all, it would involve a life-and-death battle, and the Queen Mother of the East, who had never harmed anyone, should be relatively safe, but he still followed his heart and came here. But now that I'm here, I've already fought with the Leopard King and decided the winner. Although the fight was very dangerous, if I were a little careless or negligent, my magic would not work, or the Leopard King might have a way to break my magic, or knew the weakness of "Ji Zai", and I would be slapped to death by it. But now I'm finally out of danger. Lin Jue didn't know whether this was dangerous or not. If not, the danger lies on the other side. I don’t know what’s happening in Yunmeng County. I don’t know what happened to the people who went there. Lin Jue wanted to think of another solution, so he listened to the page about "Soul Transfer" in the ancient book over and over again, and even listened to it every night before falling asleep, but he couldn't think of anything in a short time. Lin Jue even hesitated whether to write a letter to Yishan to invite his junior sister to help. As far as he could think, he had not been away from Yishan for long, and his junior sister should still be teaching the brothers the magic of walking on the mountain. The brothers' talents were in different places, and this magic was not that easy to learn. Originally, Lin Jue did not want to disturb them, as this monster might have a backer, and he did not want his junior sister to be involved, but this battlefield was too suitable for his junior sister. Today, my junior sister's method of crushing stones has reached perfection and has reached the pinnacle. She is simply the nemesis of all stone sculptures. In addition to stone sculptures, she can also smash hard objects such as wood sculptures, bronze statues and iron statues. The harder and more brittle it is, the better it is. While I was hesitating, someone came in from outside. "Master Lin! "Someone sent you a letter from the capital!" The person walking over was Wan Xinrong, followed by a man, who was none other than Zhang Gong, who was skilled in the art of walking in the Juxian Mansion.
"Capital?" Lin Jue had even picked up the pen, but then put it down: "Mr. Zhang, long time no see." "Long time no see. I wonder how your battle situation is going recently. Master Fan, who is in the capital, asked me to deliver a letter to you." Zhang Gong said, "He said that I must hand it to you personally." At the same time, he took out a letter and handed it to Lin Jue. Lin Jue took it and took a look. Written on it were the words "From Mr. Lin Daoyou". Lin Jue opened the letter and read it carefully—— "How are you, brother? Is everything going well in exorcising the demons in the northwest?" This is the handwriting of Master Fan Tianshi. After a few polite words, he went straight into the text. That was ten years ago. There are three counties around this leopard forest. In Cangshi County, there is a Taoist temple and an old Taoist priest who is very old. Ten years ago, the old Taoist came to the capital to find him. The Taoist priest was already very old at that time, over ninety years old. Even though he had mastered the art of Taoism and had good health preservation skills, he could hardly walk anymore. The reason is that the Leopard King has been entrenched here for many years. Although he was relatively low-key in the past and did not harm people so unscrupulously, he has actually harmed quite a few people. Seventy years ago, when the old Taoist was still young, his entire family was harmed by the Leopard King and became its minions. Back then, the imperial court was not as weak and incompetent as it is now. The county had organized militiamen and sought out magicians to enter the Leopard Forest to eliminate the monster. Back then, the leopard monster was not as powerful as it is now, but with its profound soul-transferring technique, it still beat the monsters without any chance of fighting back. The old Taoist was extremely sad and angry, but he was helpless. What followed was decades of hard practice and study. From twenty to ninety years old. When the old Taoist found Master Fan ten years ago, he told him that he had developed a relatively advanced magic spell that could restrain the soul-transferring technique and all the evil spirits in the world. However, although he had this magic spell, he was still far from being able to fight against the Demon King. Therefore, he wanted to present it to Master Fan and ask the famous Master Fan to take action and get rid of the Demon King. However, the Leopard King was already very powerful at that time, and Master Fan was well aware of his own abilities. He had no choice but to let him down, causing the old Taoist to leave in despair. Recently, when he heard that Lin Jue had reached a stalemate in his efforts to eliminate demons in the northwest, Master Fan thought about it again. After hesitating for a moment, not knowing whether Lin Jue needed it, he still wrote him a letter, saying that if Lin Jue needed it, he could go and visit him, but if not, it would just be a greeting. When Lin Jue was reading the letter, although the wording and tone of Master Fan were generally calm, his anxiety and complicated emotions could still be seen from some details. Just like this address, he wrote it vaguely and in detail. The wording is also very careful. It seems that one can imagine him pacing anxiously in the yard, wondering about the exact address of the old Taoist priest, and struggling over whether he should send the letter to himself, and whether the old Taoist priest is still alive. This is inevitably mixed with his original regret and guilt, because the old Taoist priest came to him because of his reputation, but left him disappointed because he was just a name without substance.
"If you can get rid of the demon king, I will go and tell him, no matter what, to put his mind at ease." Lin Jue read slowly and looked up. There are also some feelings in my heart—— How could it be so easy to think of a solution for decades? Zhang Gong was still waiting for him and said to him, "Master Fan heard that Master Lin and other masters are here fighting against the demon soldiers of the Leopard King, and he said he is willing to help Master Lin eliminate the demon." "You've come just in time. Thank him for me! If there really is a spell to break the soul transfer technique, Fellow Daoist Fan should be credited with great merit!" Lin Jue thought about it and put down his pen. He decided not to send a letter to his junior sister for the time being, but to go to Cangshi County to find the old Taoist priest. I don't know if he is still alive. So he asked Luo Gong, Nan Tianshi, and Jiang Daochang to stay here. Lin Jue followed the address on the letter and took the fox and rode the heron. In less than an hour, he flew to Cangshi County. After searching for a while, he actually found a lonely Taoist temple on a deserted mountain outside the city. There are still fireworks inside.
