Chapter 321: Merit Harvest Everyone protected the exhausted Luo Gong, the injured and unconscious Wan Xinrong and Junior Brother Ma, and helped the twelve armored soldiers and thirty heavenly soldiers. After a hard fight, they finally killed or defeated the demon soldiers. Just as I was about to look for Lin Jue and the fox, I saw a white egret flying leisurely in the blue sky. Then there was the sound of heavy horse hooves. Two stone horses slowly walked out of the forest. On the back of one of the horses sat a Taoist priest who had changed into a clean Taoist robe. On the other horse stood a white fox about the size of a cat. What is even more eye-catching is that the Taoist is holding a lantern stick in his hand. Although it was pitch black before, they had seen that the magic weapon in the monster's hand was the staff with the lantern attached to it. Several people opened their eyes wide. "Did Master Lin catch up and eliminate the monster?" Taoist Master Tao stepped forward and asked. “No.” Lin Jue shook his head. “He seemed to have some magical power to save his life. When he was dying, his soul escaped, leaving behind a skin bag and this lantern stick.” "That's it!"
Taoist Master Tao was still secretly shocked. He is worthy of being the real person who lives with Master Fan. Although it was said that Nan Tianshi and Fan Tianshi in Juxian Mansion had killed such big monsters before, and even killed the monster king, but according to the rumors, they all asked the divine soldiers and generals to kill the monsters. However, this Lin Zhenren really used his own magic skills to fight the big monsters, and even defeated them. Even the protectors around him could fight the big monsters alone. More importantly, all this happened right in front of them, not in rumors. Taoist Master Tao is a sorcerer in the martial arts world. If you really want to count him, he should be considered a cultivator of the spiritual school. Naturally, he feels frightened by this. Taoist Qingxuan, Taoist Jiang and Junior Brother Ma from Zhenjian Palace were equally surprised. Unlike the people in Juxian Mansion, when they first heard of Lin Jue, they knew that he had killed the Alligator Dragon King by the Weishui River. They knew how powerful he was from the beginning and regarded him as a master. However, the three people from Zhenjian Palace were fellow townsmen from Huizhou and witnessed the growth and changes of this Taoist priest from Yishan with their own eyes. From a young Taoist priest who had difficulty dealing with a Rakshasa bird when he first arrived at Mount Yi, to one who could fight corpse ghosts in Gongcun and Licun, and then to one who planned to get rid of the Alligator Dragon King, to now, he and a fox can almost defeat the demon generals under the Leopard King and force them into a desperate situation. This was undoubtedly another surprise. But at this time, Lin Jue had already walked towards Luo Gong. "How is Mr. Luo?" "He was seriously injured, his blood and energy were depleted, and he was severely exhausted. We have bandaged his wounds and applied dragon bone medicine." Taoist Qingxuan said, "But Mr. Luo has already entered the Tao through martial arts. His martial arts are already at the top of the world. As long as he can recover, I'm afraid he will be on the road to becoming a 'god'." "Um……" Lin Jue looked down. Mr. Luo was still sitting on the ground, weak but clear-headed. His body was indeed wrapped in a lot of cloth strips, and the bleeding had stopped, so Lin Jue didn't have to use the Qi-sealing method to stop the bleeding for him. "Did they feed you the spiritual fluid?" "..." Mr. Luo nodded imperceptibly. Upon hearing this, Lin Jue nodded, then took out a handful of pills and handed them to Luo Gong's mouth.
"Open your mouth." Mr. Luo opened his mouth with difficulty. Lin Jue stuffed it into his mouth. Most of these pills were mild in nature or did not contain much gold, silver, lead, mercury, jade, cinnabar, and could be taken by ordinary people. There were elixirs for resuscitation, elixirs for healing, and elixirs that were simply rich in vitality and spiritual charm. Anyway, Luo Gong had also entered the Tao, so he stuffed them all into his mouth. The elixir melted as soon as it entered his mouth, and its medicinal and spiritual effects made people feel weak and dizzy. Luo Gong could not maintain the last bit of his consciousness, and his body tilted to the side and he fell down. Lin Jue pushed him with his legs and looked at the wolf corpse again. "Isn't it said that this wolf demon has the ability to transform into a bird?" "Indeed." The man had good eyesight after turning into a tiger, and said to him, "I saw Luo Gong fighting with the wolf demon. He could have won earlier, but some demon soldiers came to help the wolf demon. Later, the wolf demon used a few demon soldiers as cover and retreated. He was about to cast a spell to turn into a bird and fly away, but as soon as he flew out, he was shot down by the heavenly soldiers, and finally was shot dead by Luo Gong here." "I can really turn into a bird..." Lin Jue muttered to himself. It seems that after it turned into a bird, it did not have the same abilities as its original form, so it was shot down by the heavenly soldiers. And it was not able to transform into a bird at will, it could not just change with a thought, it needed time to perform the spell. At this moment, the fox had jumped from the top of the stone horse and jumped directly onto the wolf demon, lowering its head and sniffing something. Taoist Priest Tao came over and asked, "What should we do with this wolf demon?" "Take a break. After my Fuyao has checked it out, cut off its head, or take it back to Jinping County with its body, and then bring it back to the capital." Lin Jue said, looking at Taoist Qingxuan and Taoist Jiang, "Do you think this is appropriate?" "Of course it's appropriate! That's how it should be!" Taoist Qingxuan said without hesitation, "It's just right to satisfy the people of Jinping County, and also to let the demons and ghosts in the capital know that even if they have hundreds of years of practice, they should not disturb the world at will!" "..." Daoist Master Jiang did not express his opinion but just raised his hand and bowed to Lin Jue earnestly: "Thank you for today, Daoist friend." "Why thank you?" "Fellow Daoist, you saved me again. I should thank you." "We just work together to eliminate the demon." Lin Jue also raised his hand to greet her. The sun rises higher and higher. The fox drank the spell and jumped back onto the stone horse's head. Lin Jue fed Wan Xinrong another elixir to help him recover faster, and fed Junior Brother Ma a heart-protecting pill to help him wake up. He then went to bring back the horses that were tied on a distant mountain, and moved the Wolf General's body onto the horses' backs. He not only brought the corpse of the wolf demon, but also the corpses of several demon soldiers, all of which were placed on the back of his horse. He also found dead branches and rotten wood from the mountains, piled up all the corpses of the demon soldiers and burned them. This celebrity also understood it. This Master Lin is a true Taoist and a true master. He had gained a lot of knowledge by following them on this trip, and he was also likely to gain fame and fortune. However, he had been called by everyone to investigate monsters in Jinping City, so he inevitably contributed less in this fight and suffered the least injuries. So he took the initiative to do these chores.
This fame and fortune makes me feel more at ease. Lin Jue picked up Luo Gong's silver spear and the silver spear dropped by Wolf General, while Taoist Qingxuan and Taoist Tao went to count the wooden boxes that the monsters were going to take away. They were filled with gold, silver and jewelry. I don’t know what the monsters use these for. Then he took the official road and headed towards Jinping County. The only sound in the mountains was their footsteps. "There used to be a lot of people on this road, but it has been ruined by these monsters and has become like this!" Taoist Master Tao said gritting his teeth. There was indeed no one to be seen on this road at this time. Those rescued people should have also left along this road, but they had left much earlier than Lin Jue and the others. As they were escaping for their lives, they probably would not delay and naturally they could no longer be seen. Gradually it was noon, and then afternoon. Finally saw Jinping County. The gate of Jinping County was not deserted at this time, but there were many people living in the city. They were frightened by the monster that blocked the city and devoured it a few days ago. This morning, the monster left the city for some unknown reason. After a brief wait and see, they chose to take this opportunity to escape from the city. There were almost no people coming into the city. Among the crowd fleeing the city, there were suddenly a few wounded and bloody Taoists and a few donkeys and horses, coming in the opposite direction. When everyone saw them from afar, they thought they were monsters and were very frightened. When they got closer, they saw that they were actually people. But when they saw the huge wolf heads and monster corpses on their horses, they became even more frightened. Even those who were originally eager to escape from the city gradually stopped and could not help but stand still. How could they not recognize that these monsters on horseback were the same monsters that had been wreaking havoc and eating people in the city some time ago? All the people stopped at the same time, made way for them, and turned to look at them. The first to come were two stone horses, which were taller than ordinary horses. They were obviously carved from stone, but they could actually walk. On the back of one of the stone horses sat a young Taoist priest wearing a clean Taoist robe. He was the only one who was neatly dressed. The Taoist stood straight with a calm expression, and his hands hung naturally. Against the backdrop of the tall stone horse, he looked like a god. On the back of the other stone horse was a warrior who was in tatters and soaked in blood. There was a white fox following the two stone horses. Some of the people behind him were riding horses, while others were walking. They were also covered in wounds, with torn and bloody clothes, as if they had experienced a fierce battle. Who are you fighting against? One look at it shows that— He was a man in purple, leading a few donkeys and horses. On the horses were wolf monsters that were much taller than ordinary humans, as well as leopard monsters and jackal monsters, all of whom died in hideous ways. "We are from Juxian Palace! We are invited by Doctor Zhou from the Ministry of Rites to follow Master Lin to exorcise the demon." The man held the rope and said to the crowd, "The one walking in front is Master Lin, and the ones beside me are the Taoist priests from Zhenjian Palace!" "The monsters have been eliminated, fellow villagers can rest assured!" Taoist Priest Tao also bowed to his fellow villagers, "Not only these, but all other monsters have been eliminated by us. We brought these corpses back just to reassure the villagers. We didn't bring anything else because we couldn't bring any more, so we burned them on the spot!" "We are from the Juxian Mansion..." The two of them talked wherever they went, never getting tired of it.
The expressions of many people varied. Some looked stunned, some were in disbelief, some burst into tears, some asked if they were real, some were too scared to look, and some exclaimed that they were gods. At some point, someone suddenly bowed down and worshipped. It was like a chain reaction, and the people on the road out of the city fell to the ground and knelt down one after another. This cannot be overcome. Everyone had no choice but to move forward. Before entering the city, we passed a temple. This was a newly built temple, as could be seen from the white, new walls, but now it had become a ruin. Taoist Qingxuan and Taoist Jiang stopped here in silence. Taoist Priest Tao told Lin Jue that this was a newly built temple in Jinping County, and the main deities dedicated to it were the Southern Jade Mirror Emperor and the Yili God. Lin Jue also looked at him silently, his eyes flickering. These monsters are really calculating—— If the Zhenjian Palace did not come to eliminate the monster, they would unexpectedly destroy the incense base that the Southern God System had built with great difficulty in the central part of Dajiang, and they could retreat under the command of the Guanxing Palace to "invite the gods to drive away the monster". All the reputation and incense would belong to the Guanxing Palace and the Tianweng God System, which would kill two birds with one stone. But if the Zhenjian Palace comes to eliminate the monster, the wolf monster is one of the three generals under the Leopard King and is not weak. If the Taoist priest of the Zhenjian Palace invites enough divine power and brings enough heavenly soldiers, the wolf monster can consume the power of the Heavenly Fire General, making the main battlefield on the other side easier. If the divine power and heavenly soldiers invited by the Zhenjian Palace are not enough, they can even leave the Taoist priest of the Zhenjian Palace here. Even after getting the news, he still sent another demon general from the Leopard King's lair in an attempt to keep them here. There are three demon generals in total, and two of them came. It’s a pity that I didn’t take into account Lin Jue’s abilities. And all magic in the world has its uses. Who would have thought that a magic trick could capture the movements of the monster in the black fog? Because of this, the withered monster didn't use much of his skills. "Let's go." Taoist Priest Jiang said calmly. The group entered the city. The Jinping County, which was once prosperous as described by Taoist Master Tao, has now become desolate and deserted. Many houses are in ruins, there are bones on the roadside, and people are constantly fleeing. Wherever the group went, they caused shock. As long as someone kneels, there will be people following. The people knew nothing else but that the monster was ferocious, ate people and harmed people, and even the soldiers could not stop it. During this period of time, they prayed day and night countless times and worshipped countless gods and Buddhas. Now in this situation, whoever can get rid of the monster will have the ability and virtue of a god. Lin Jue had a mysterious feeling in his heart. It is the merit that you have accumulated yourself. Merit is erratic and its weight is difficult to measure. It needs to be weighed with a very mysterious feeling. However, he can clearly feel that the merit he has accumulated is gradually increasing.
