Chapter 393: Master Lin, Master Liu and the Three Senior Brothers

Chapter 393 Master Lin, Master Liu, and the Third Senior Brother "Fellow villagers can't go!" Among the officers and soldiers, a man in official robes shouted, "The Queen Mother of the East is a monster! Didn't you hear the thunder in the north last night? That was the True Lord and the Divine Soldiers sent by Grandpa Tianweng to eliminate the monster! The Queen Mother of the East asked you to go to Modu Mountain at this time, and also asked you to bring other villagers who don't believe in the Changsheng Sect with you. She must have bad intentions! Wherever you go, you will never come back..." Before he could finish his words, a "messenger of God" wearing a white robe and a goatee on the opposite side became furious. He waved his sleeves, creating a strong wind and causing sand and rocks to fly. For a moment, people couldn't even open their eyes. The old man quickly bent down and covered his face with his sleeves. Several more officers and soldiers came up with shields in hand, trying their best to block him. The flying stones hit the wooden shields with crackling sounds, and it was painful when they hit the people. "What nonsense!!" "You believe in demons, aren't you afraid that the heavenly soldiers will come to you?" "Demons? Heavenly soldiers? Humph! We are all so old now! Have the gods in the temples you worship ever given you any benefits? When have they ever shown their faces? Someone in your family got sick, and they believed in the Queen Mother of the East and joined the Changsheng Sect. A bowl of talisman water can cure them. Does the Albatross have such ability? From ancient times to now, has anyone who believed in gods achieved immortality? Zhang Taigong in the city has lived for two hundred years! The court wants to eat our flesh and drink our blood. Your official robes and fat are all the result of our blood and sweat! The Heavenly Weng doesn't care about us. The Changsheng Sect gives us porridge to drink, and the Queen Mother of the East allows us to live forever without illness or pain. Who is the god? Who is the demon? Don't you know?" "What about Yunmeng County? Your Queen Mother of the East sank a city into the ground. Not a single citizen in the city survived! She ate them all!"

"Shut up! Don't slander the Queen Mother of the East!" "If you want to die, just go and die by yourselves. Why do you have to tie up other villagers and take them to the devil's cave?" "I am too lazy to say more to you! The Queen Mother of the East considers that we are all from the same hometown and does not want to cause more killings, so I am speaking to you in a friendly way. If you still refuse to give in, then it will depend on whether the gods you believe in will send heavenly soldiers and generals to rescue you!" In an instant, the two sides were on the verge of a fight. The strong bows have been drawn and everyone has grasped their weapons tightly. Generals and officials would look up at the sky from time to time. He lowered his head and looked at the gods' messengers opposite him. An old man in a white robe with a goatee, a woman in gorgeous clothes with eyes like a mountain cat, two young men with protruding mouths, and a burly man nearly ten feet tall with huge deer antlers on his head. They all look like humans but not humans. They wear human clothes and stand like humans, but you can still tell what they are at a glance. These are all monsters... The "divine messenger" of the Queen Mother of the East has arrived. Where are the heavenly soldiers and generals? I heard that a god has descended to the mortal world and was suppressing bandits in Modu Mountain last night, causing lightning and thunder to cause the sky to collapse and the earth to crack. Now that the place has calmed down, why haven't the heavenly soldiers come here yet? How can they defeat the monsters? The generals and officials were all extremely anxious. Suddenly I heard a sound—— A commoner who was tied up and forcibly taken to Modu Mountain because he did not join the Changsheng Sect and did not believe in the Queen Mother of the East struggled and tried to escape. This shout alarmed both parties at the same time. The string is taut and the slightest disturbance can cause it to get out of control. The city gate suddenly became noisy. "Fourth Regiment! No one is allowed to retreat!" "Kill these soldiers!"

"Kill these monsters! You will be promoted to a higher position!" "The Queen Mother of the East said! You can achieve eternal bliss after death!" Both sides shouted and mobilized their emotions, as if they would collide with each other in the next moment. However, the soldiers were obviously not as fanatical and fearless as the followers of the Queen Mother of the East, not to mention that the robes of the monsters on the opposite side were all puffed up, as if they were about to transform into their original forms. The officers and soldiers swallowed their saliva and their bodies were tense. The general gripped his sword tightly, sweat breaking out on his back. But suddenly, the general and the soldiers discovered that the mobs and "messengers of God" on the opposite side were all stunned, gradually quieted down, and all looked up behind them. Especially those "messengers of God". The clothes just puffed up, as if they were about to return to their original form. The old man in white robe revealed a goat face, the woman stretched out her sharp claws, the young man's head faintly showed a wolf's kiss, and the strong man's body swelled rapidly, but at this moment they all shrank back and turned back into their original human forms, raised their heads to look behind them, and even took two steps back. The general was stunned for a moment and turned around immediately. All the archers standing on the city wall behind him turned around and focused their eyes on one spot. At some point, a huge white fox appeared there. Its body was much larger than a buffalo. It stood on the battlements of the city wall with lightness and grace, and its five tails waving naturally behind it. In the morning light, it looked both heroic and holy and inviolable. Beside it, one on the left and one on the right, there were clearly two Taoists standing. They were not clearly visible due to the backlight, but it was easier to inspire awe. "This……" Before the general could say anything, a white shadow flashed by. "Oh!" The voice came from in front of him. When the general turned around, he saw that the huge "messenger of God" with deer antlers had been pinned to the ground by the fox. When the fox opened its mouth, golden flames came out. When it raised its head, half of the "messenger of God"'s body had been burned, and it couldn't even utter a scream. "what!!" The other four gods' messengers finally reacted and turned around to run. But I saw a flash of sword in the sky—— I couldn't see what those sword lights looked like, I just felt like a few thin silver lines, connecting from the city wall to the "God's Messenger" below, and instantly passed through the back of the "God's Messenger", and after passing through, they brought up a string of blood beads like a string of beads, which sprinkled on the ground and raised white smoke. The sword light flew back to the city wall and into the Taoist's sleeve. In an instant, the four "God's messengers" fell to the ground. Both the enemy and our side, on and below the city walls, fell silent for a moment. The soldiers and the mob were all stunned by the huge five-tailed white fox and the lightning-like sword light. "Lin Fangjue, the Taoist from Yishan, has come to defend this place and protect Ziyun County from being invaded by demons and ghosts." A voice rang out, spreading in the silence.

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of armored soldiers dropped from the sky and landed on the ground with a bang. The collision of their armor made a heavy sound, just like heavenly soldiers. The people who believed in the Queen Mother of the East were already shocked, and now seeing these "heavenly soldiers" covered in heavy armor and with bright red paint on their faces, the passion they had just had seemed to be extinguished. They just opened their eyes wide, staring at the two figures on the city wall, while avoiding the white fox and retreating. "What are you afraid of? With the Queen Mother of the East here, why should you be afraid? Don't you want to go to Modu Mountain and enjoy eternal life and bliss?" "yes……" "Don't be afraid!" "No one can stop me from seeking eternal bliss!" "Don't be afraid!" "Let's attack together! Kill this Taoist priest and the fox!" "Even after death, you can still achieve eternal bliss!" These people were so fanatical that they were not willing to retreat. The general immediately took the bow from the person next to him, aimed at those who were talking, and wanted to shoot them to death. But just as he aimed at the first one, three or five mouths opened at the same time, and the arrows swept across. More people started shouting, and he couldn't shoot at all, and he didn't know who to shoot. Unless they are all killed. At this moment, the Taoist stepped forward and walked down gracefully. Another Taoist priest immediately followed behind him. They were actually two Taoists, a man and a woman. "You all believe in the Queen Mother of the East and want to go to Modu Mountain. I can't stop you, nor do I want to stop you. I just want to remind you that the Queen Mother of the East is a monster. Right now, a True Lord is going there to exorcise monsters. If you go there, you will most likely just become food for the Queen Mother of the East." The Taoist looked calm as he strolled forward. A female Taoist holding a whisk and a huge five-tailed white fox followed behind him, and the way they walked was really like the legendary gods descending to earth. "If you insist on going, then go ahead. Life and death are up to you. At least I can't control it. But you can't take these folks who don't believe in the Queen Mother of the East with you by force." Every time the Taoist took a step forward, those people took a step back. The body of the "messenger of God" is still lying on the ground. Several civilians who were tied together with bamboo poles were let out. The Taoist woman pointed her finger, and the ropes that tied them began to glow with fire and immediately fell apart. A cart was also given way. The fox looked down and saw a flash of gold in his eyes. The rope on the cart was also burned by the golden flames. The people above also stood up quickly. "Thank you, God, for saving me..."

Seeing this, the officials behind him hurriedly shouted to open the city gate. With a heavy creaking sound, the city gate opened. The hearts of the mob were already shaken, and they did not react at all. The opening of the city gate seemed to be a choice made for them in a hurry. They did not dare to resist for a moment, and did not care about the words of the Queen Mother of the East that they should take other people to Modu Mountain as well, and kill them all if they could not be taken away. They just ran forward. Escape from the city gate and head north to Modu Mountain. Once you get there, you will experience eternal bliss. So many believers turned into a tide and bypassed Lin Jue, leaving only the officers and soldiers on the city wall and some ordinary people who were tied up in front. Lin Jue went to untie them. Seeing this, many people came to help. "Forest……" The general and the county magistrate in the city came over to salute, shocked but respectful: "Are you Master Lin from the capital?" "It's down." Lin Jue said to them: "This is my junior sister, surnamed Liu, Taoist name Fang Yao, and this is my fox, named Fuyao. From today on, we two will stay here and do our best to protect Ziyun County from being invaded by demons and ghosts." "Thank you, Master Lin! Thank you, Master Liu!" The officials and generals saluted quickly, politely and respectfully, "Then these mobs..." "It's impossible to keep these people in the city. Instead, they will become a nuisance. It's better to let them go and let fate decide their fate." "It makes sense..." The generals and officials all breathed a sigh of relief. While everyone was talking, in an alley nearby, there was a shabby man wearing a coarse linen shirt and smelling slightly of alcohol. He looked around quietly, with a conflicted and helpless look on his face. How did they get here? And they became Master Lin and Master Liu? This disrupted his plans. Just as he was struggling, he didn't expect that the fox tilted its head and looked him in the eye. The fox's head tilted a little more. (End of this chapter)
