Chapter 404: The storm has arrived

Chapter 404 The storm has arrived Lin Jue looked at it again and again and confirmed that this was not a treasure, but a magical power. The power of magic lies in this piece of paper, and the so-called words and decrees on the paper are nothing but decoration, a trick to deify oneself and deceive believers. Of course, the Queen Mother of the East is indeed a "goddess". At least it is on the same level as the gods. It is said that this document is not permanent, but needs to be replaced every once in a while. Believers who wear it can live forever, but if they take it off, their vitality will quickly fade away. Some people speculate that the Queen Mother of the East did this deliberately to ensure her control over her believers. Now it seems that the spell may also have a limited duration, so it needs to be replenished or replaced regularly. As for how to use the documents, the legends of Qinzhou have already told all about it. Lin Jue put it on carefully. Then he took out the second letter and opened it to see: "How are you, fellow Daoist? "Today I received a letter from the capital. The tassels we planted in Zhenjian Palace a few years ago bloomed a while ago. They look like leaves that have grown snow, and are extremely beautiful. It's a pity that I didn't get to see them. “If I were in the capital, I would definitely invite fellow Taoists to enjoy it together.

"As spring turns to summer, the weather gradually gets hotter. The yang energy between heaven and earth increases while the yin energy decreases. There are frequent thunderstorms day and night. It is gradually the best time for the gods to exorcise demons. "Earlier, during the Jingzhe period, the two True Lords led their generals and eight thousand heavenly soldiers to the lower world to eliminate demons. It is said that they have severely defeated the Queen Mother of the East. According to the nature of the Tianweng God System, this statement is not credible. However, the Jingzhe period and the offensives launched by the True Lords during thunderstorms in recent days have also achieved results. “Recently, the heavens have been mobilizing troops on a large scale. It is said that the two True Lords, Protector Saint and Protector Saint, have decided to use the power of thunder in midsummer to flatten Mo Du Mountain in one fell swoop. "Correspondingly, the Queen Mother of the East will never sit still and wait for death. Whether it is fighting or fleeing, the four counties outside Modu Mountain are the only way she can pass through. “I hope you will be careful, fellow Taoist. "..." Lin Jue held the letter and read it carefully. "Liu Su? April Snow?" Lin Jue thought back to the tree in the courtyard of Zhenjian Palace. Over the past few years, it had indeed grown into a big tree, but he seemed to have never seen it bloom. The tassel plant is also known as April snow. In addition to blooming in April, it also means that the flowers bloom like snow. Lin Jue has seen it on the roadside in the mountains. It is indeed elegant and beautiful. "The two True Lords, Guarding Saint and Protecting Saint, intend to wipe out the Queen Mother of the East in one fell swoop?" Lin Jue shook his head and laughed, "It seems that they lack virtue, but they do have courage." Then he put the two letters away safely. Just as I was about to write a reply, I suddenly felt a palpitation in my heart, and at the same time, a sense of warmth and comfort came from my arms. "Ok?" Lin Jue took out the "Eternal Life Order" without hesitation and threw it on the table. At the same time, take out the ancient book and turn to the end. "Wow..." The art of transforming feathers, the method of transformation. The practitioner transforms himself into a feathered creature and can fly between heaven and earth like a bird. Depending on his own character, he can transform into different feathered creatures according to the type of feathered creature he is closest to and the most contemplative and enlightened during practice.

For those with shallow attainments, when they transform, no matter how powerful their own magical powers are, they are as fragile and powerless as ordinary feathers, unable to cast any spells, and are afraid of natural enemies such as water and fire like feathers. Only when you have reached a high level of cultivation can you use the body of a bird to carry your own power and cast spells and magical powers. "Wow..." Taking away life and granting longevity, an ancient magical power, the method of the Wood Element. You can take away the vitality and lifespan of something, causing it to die young, or you can give it vitality and lifespan, making it immortal. When one has achieved great success in cultivation, one can ignore the laws of life and death. Unfortunately, the vitality can only be obtained from the heaven and earth, which is the most natural and pure. The vitality of all living things is different and difficult to blend. If it is taken by force, it can make oneself immortal, but it cannot prevent aging, and will also slowly weaken over time, leaving only a decaying body and a residual soul to linger, unable to cope with disasters. If the vitality comes from heaven and earth, whether it is used by oneself or passed on to others, it is all pure and inclusive. If the vitality comes from oneself, there is no hindrance in passing it on to others. But if the vitality comes from deception, then the person who prolongs his life will become cunning. If it comes from killing, then the person who prolongs his life will gradually become possessed by the devil. If you practice this method, you must keep it in mind. According to ancient legends, there are gods whose words can make people immortal with just a word or a gesture. This is the kind of magical power they have. "I see……" Lin Jue thought and muttered to himself. Ancient books do not say where this method of "taking life and granting longevity" comes from. Is it just like the instant of a flower blooming, a natural ability of a few plant spirits? However, spiritual trees like the Longevity Tree naturally absorb the vitality of nearby plants to nourish themselves, thus achieving immortality, which is similar to this magical power. I don't know whether the Queen Mother of the East has this magical power naturally or acquired it later. According to ancient books, this spell can take away vitality and lifespan, or give vitality and lifespan to others. Obviously, this is the secret of "Eternal Life Order". As for the vitality and lifespan given to others, they can come from heaven and earth, from oneself, or be taken from somewhere else. Those coming from heaven and earth are the best, while those coming from oneself will harm oneself and benefit others, and those taken from somewhere else are the worst. I don't know which kind of vitality and lifespan these "Eternal Life Orders" are. "Humph……" Lin Jue threw it aside and continued writing the letter. First, I would like to thank Mr. Nan and also thank Taoist Master Jiang. After writing it, I asked Taoist Bai Lu to send it out, and then continued to refine the Longbo Bean Soldiers. I have learned to turn into a bird and can fly, so I don't really need Daoist White Egret to carry me when I travel. However, for things like delivering letters, I still need Daoist White Egret's help. For some time thereafter, Ziyun County remained relatively peaceful. Lin Jue had been keeping in touch with Taoist Jiang and Nan Tianshi, and knew that the other three counties were also relatively peaceful, but the most peaceful was Ziyun County. Perhaps because of previous tests, Queen Mother Dong knew that the Taoist priests here were not easy to provoke, and in order to prevent unnecessary sacrifices of her subordinates, she had not invaded again for a long time. The fourth and seventh senior brothers went to Jiguang County to take charge. The imperial court sent reinforcements several times and also delivered food and fodder several times. The weather was getting hotter day by day, and the statue of Long Bo was getting smaller day by day. At the same time, the weather in summer is changeable and unpredictable. It is often sunny, but suddenly the wind blows and clouds gather, followed by heavy rain and thunder that pierces the sky and earth. Sometimes you are woken up at night. Whenever there is a thunderstorm, there are sounds of war drums. If you fly to the sky and look in the direction of Modu Mountain, you can see heavenly soldiers gathering in the dark clouds, and gods wearing thunder descending to the mortal world, fighting fiercely with monsters in the depths of rain, fog and clouds. The scene is very shocking.

Whenever this happened, the people in the city could not sleep and dared not go out. They prayed sincerely to the god tablets and statues in the city, hoping to survive this disaster. It's not useless. Every prayer and every bit of incense will be transformed into the demon-slaying power of the gods in the sky. Before we knew it, it was already the end of summer. It was the hottest time of the day. The sky was dark and the ground was gloomy, as if a disaster was about to happen, or as if a terrifying force was accumulating. Lin Jue stood on the attic and looked into the distance. On one side, a white egret is flying alone; on the other side, a crow is circling. There were also people patrolling the ground. The Taoists in Ziyun County had been on guard for a long time and were even beginning to feel a little tired. But Lin Jue and the Protector of the Saint do not get along, and Taoist Jiang is not a Taoist from the Star Observation Palace. Even if they come here to protect the local people and the source of incense for the gods, the two Protectors of the Saint and Baosheng are still unwilling to tell them the specific time of the general attack, and they can only guess. Lin Jue looked up at the sky. The strong wind dipped in light ink and painted a messy brushstroke in the sky. These dark clouds were gradually rolled up, and the largest thunderstorm in late summer and early autumn every year was about to come. This is the most powerful force of the entire summer. "call……" Suddenly, there was a little breeze in the sultry world. …… There is a long street in Jiguang County, which is full of red buildings. Because they are luxurious and tall, they are comfortable to live in and easy to observe. After coming here from Ziyun County to help, the seventh senior brother took the fourth senior brother to live there. "Fourth Brother, don't be so nervous. Nervousness is useless. We should learn from Third Brother in this regard. Maybe he is hungover right now." Seventh Brother said, "According to the time, the eldest brother's lecture should be over by now. Second Brother's apprentice has finished his lecture, so it's time for him to go down the mountain. I wrote a letter and asked Little Brother's Egret to help send it back. Please call Second Brother over as well." "When?" "Yesterday." Senior Brother Seven said with a smile, "Senior Brother Two's fire magic is superb. It should be used to make pills in peaceful times. It's a pity to only use it in the pill furnace in these troubled times." He paused for a moment: "Besides, there are so many monsters and exotic animals here. Those antlers and grass roots are very useful for making pills." The fourth brother just glanced at him calmly and said: "Sixth Junior Brother can do the spirit writing." "what?" While they were talking, a light breeze suddenly blew in through the window. The two of them turned to look at the same time. ……

There is a small hill in Boyu County, and there happens to be a temple on the top of the hill. More than ten years ago, it was converted into a temple of the Queen Mother of the East by the Changsheng Sect. A few months ago, it was converted into a Taoist temple. Now it is the residence of the Taoist priest of the Zhenjian Palace. The mountain gate was not closed and the windows were all open. Taoist Master Jiang was sitting cross-legged on a cushion. His skin was whiter than snow and seemed to be glowing in the dimness. There is a whisk on his knees and a long sword at his side. Suddenly, she opened her eyes. At the same time, the wind just arrived. The talisman paper and red cloth hanging in the Taoist temple and the windbreaker behind the statue were all blown away by the wind. …… In Lotte City, in the county government office. Dozens of Taoists sat cross-legged, meditating and practicing. Suddenly, a Taoist priest opened his eyes and sensed a hint of change in the sultry heat. "It's going to thunder." An old Taoist's voice was heard. Then many Taoists picked up the swords beside them, stood up, and no one spoke, they just walked out. …… At the same time, in the capital. The streets, alleys, teahouses and taverns are bustling with activity. The news that the northern military garrison was marching southward seemed to have no effect on them at all. Most people regarded it as a rebellion that would occur from time to time and would be quelled by the royal army in the near future. On the contrary, Qinzhou in the northeast was closest to the capital, and it was a matter of monsters, which caused people in the capital to talk about it endlessly after tea and wine. Some people say that Nan Tianshi went to the Northeast. Some people say that Master Lin also went there. Some people said that was why they were not seen. Others say that Master Fan is still staying in the capital. Some people also say how great the Queen Mother of the East is... Suddenly, there was thunder. "Rumble..." The thunder was so dull and deafening that it woke people up. There was no war in the capital, the monsters were kept at bay, and everyone returned home for fear of rain. Amid the hurried footsteps, no one noticed that in the corner of the street, there was a middle-aged Taoist looking up at the sky. A monster beside him whispered: "It's going to rain, please go home, Master."

"go home……" Master Fan was stunned for a moment. Who knows? His family is in Jiguang... …… And in the northeast of Qinzhou, in Modu Mountain. The true god hasn't revealed himself yet, but the monsters have emerged from the fog first, like a mountain torrent, rushing towards the surrounding cities with unstoppable force, trying to cut off the incense of the gods in this place.
