Chapter 70: When it’s time to shirk, shirk (thank you “Kevin Taoist” for being the leader)
Lin Jue took a few steps back and looked up diagonally.
The house next to it has a high firewall, and there is a man who is repairing the house and installing tiles. He seems to be very happy, smiling, singing something incomprehensible, and shouting one or two words from time to time.
As if aware of Lin Jue's gaze, the man also lowered his head and looked at Lin Jue curiously.
He kept singing without stopping.
It was in a language that Lin Jue couldn't understand.
Suddenly there is a sound breaking through the air!
Lin Jue changed his gaze and immediately saw two more blades flying from the front courtyard, but they bypassed the gate from above and spun towards himself standing at the door.
Lin Jue didn't panic and took one step forward.
The flower before my eyes was already in the courtyard.
There was a big tree in the courtyard. Under the tree, two archers were waiting in formation. When they saw him, they came over.
Duo! Duo!
Lin Jue turned around and took a look——
Behind him is the courtyard door, with two blades inserted inside and two blade tips protruding from the outside.
Lin Jue quickly reached out and touched it, and immediately discovered the mana attached to the blade.
This should be a spell that makes the bladed stick fly automatically and hit and injure people.
The magic power is not pure, and the third senior brother should have judged this person's Taoism from this. Unfortunately, Lin Jue's current spiritual power has not been cultivated to the point where he can arbitrarily break other people's magic power, and the fire spirit method has not been practiced enough to spit out spiritual fire.
to the point, otherwise it should be possible to use spiritual fire to burn away the mana on it, which can be regarded as a way to break this spell.
Thoughts were only fleeting, and when he turned his head again, he looked at the roof again.
His eyes flickered, revealing his thoughts.
When I was still in the merchant's house just now, these wooden sticks and blades flying in were "half-blind". I only knew the approximate location of myself and the third senior brother, but I didn't know where they were specifically. But just now...
"Two heroes."
Lin Jue pointed upward: "Shoot the man above in the leg!"
The bean soldier could not speak, but he was silent but reliable. He quickly drew his bow and arrow, turned around and shot.
"Swift..."
Two arrows were fired at the top of the building.
Unexpectedly, the man on the roof first retracted his legs, then rolled over on the roof, and was so keen that he dodged two arrows in a row!
"really!"
When the man saw that he was discovered, he stopped pretending, took out a knife from behind, and immediately jumped off the wall.
The tall horse head wall can be easily lowered to the ground.
"Two heroes!"
In fact, before Lin Jue could speak, the two bean soldiers had already sensed the threat. What Lin Jue didn't expect was that they actually showed a human-like coordination strategy: one held a bow and retreated, keeping distance, and the other dropped the bow and arrow.
He drew out the long knife from his waist and stepped forward to meet him with heavy steps.
Lin Jue didn't care about this.
At the same time, he heard the faint sound of chanting a mantra, coming from the room behind him.
"evildoer!"
The two blades on the door trembled and flew out of the door, flying towards him like lightning.
Lin Jue just dodged sideways and got into the big tree in the courtyard, and then dodged out from the other side. No matter how fierce the two blades came, they were only embedded in the tree.
"Brother Shu! Sorry!"
Lin Jue's footsteps did not stop at all.
"Bang!"
Knock open a door.
Inside is the main room, which is not small. There is a bald man in gray robe sitting cross-legged inside, chanting a spell rapidly.
When he saw Lin Jue standing at the door with a sword in hand, his eyes suddenly widened, and a trace of panic visible to the naked eye flashed across his face.
But the sound of the curse didn't stop.
There were many blades placed next to the man in gray robe, and two of them flew up at once, heading straight towards Lin Jue.
The blade flew very slowly and kept spinning, killing a large area. However, the young Taoist opened his eyes tightly and refused to blink. He swung the simple knife in his hand, and with a bang, a piece flew away, and then another one.
He quickly turned around and dodged a block, and his robe and hair were cut off by the blade.
The gray-robed man's eyes widened, and he was surprised to find that this man was still approaching him even when he was dodging.
That Pu Dao looks really scary!
The incantation stopped immediately.
After it failed, the blade that flew towards Lin Jue in a different direction also fell to the ground as the spell stopped.
I saw the man in gray robe pointing his finger——
The syllable forms of the mantras spoken changed.
At the same time, Lin Jue's hand suddenly softened, and the touch became light, soft and slippery.
He quickly lowered his head and saw that the simple knife in his hand turned into two green bamboo leaves, twisting and turning randomly, and one even turned around as if it wanted to bite him.
What kind of magic is this?
This thought flashed through Lin Jue's mind, but he kept moving. He just threw away the two snakes and approached the gray-robed man in two steps.
This person never expected that this young Taoist priest, who was not strong in stature, would dare to rush towards him without the sword in his hand. He wanted to continue chanting a spell to activate the blade, but all he saw was that his eyes lit up and surging fire came towards his face.
The flames were accompanied by strong winds, like a wall of fire.
In the blink of an eye, he was in flames.
His body and face suddenly became extremely hot.
"ah!!"
Before the fire light completely dissipated and before he could react, he felt someone grabbing his collar and hitting him with a fist.
The bald man's burning pain had not subsided and he was almost stunned.
"Don't you have any other skills?"
Before he could react, another vase hit his head.
The battle of wits was ultimately won in this way.
Lin Jue didn't dare to let down his guard, so he grabbed the bald gray-robed man by his collar and blocked his mouth with a cloth. He turned around and looked - there were no venomous snakes on the ground, and his simple sword was lying on the ground.
Pick it up and go outside to take a look.
There were a few blood stains in the courtyard, and the two bean soldiers had slash marks on their bodies, but the warrior had disappeared.
"Bang!"
The courtyard door was knocked open.
The first person who rushed in was the fox he had picked up. The third senior brother stood at the door and looked at him. There were many people outside who were scared and curious. Several businessmen were also standing among them. They took some from nowhere.
With the wooden stick and broom in his hand, he felt as if he was fighting side by side with two Taoists.
The bald man in gray robe was already red in the face and covered in blood.
The young Taoist priest stood beside him with his sword in hand.
…
A group of people escorted the man in gray robe to the county government office. Many people followed behind with their eyes wide open and curious. More and more people gathered, and they continued to discuss with each other.
When Lin Jue was practicing on the peak of Fuqiu, his magic power and magic seemed to be very common, but when he got down the mountain, it was like Shu Village. Many people had only heard about magic and masters, but had never seen it with their own eyes.
Naturally, I felt very strange at this time.
"I thought about it for a moment. This man should be using sticks and blades activated by magic, but he didn't have clairvoyant eyes, so he hid in this empty house where no one lived. There was a warrior who pretended to repair the wall and sang.
We need to report our position to the people inside in words they can understand." Lin Jue said to the third senior brother, "He relies on these positions to make blades and wooden sticks fly."
"Very possible."
"I guessed."
"This man also has death energy in him!" The third senior brother looked down at him.
"Is this person cultivating death energy?"
"It may not be that his practice method is related to this, nor is this magic related to this. It may also be that his Taoism is related to this. The death energy on his body is very light, as if he was contaminated from elsewhere."
"I see……"
"It's troublesome..." The third senior brother said with a headache.
"Yes." Lin Jue said, "But this spell is pretty good. Unfortunately, it seems that it requires continuous chanting of the incantation."
"I don't know what kind of magic it is."
"Senior brother, don't you know?"
"How many spells are there in the world? When our Fuqiu Temple was first established, these seven spells were considered too many. After so many years of hard work in collecting them, we didn't save much." The third brother said, "What's more, there was no peace in the world before.
So many things?"
"Too."
Lin Jue nodded, and couldn't help but look back at the rooftops on both sides: "It's a pity that the warrior ran away."
"He was hit by an arrow and can't run very far. Let's leave the pursuit of him to the city police. We Taoist priests are not good at this." The third senior brother is very good at pushing things out. "If the police can't find him, we can't find him."
It’s none of our business, it’s just the incompetence of the police in the city.”
"Um……"
I feel like I have a rough idea of Third Senior Brother’s personality——
This person is greedy for comfort and enjoyment, and likes fine wine, but he is also half-chivalrous, free and uninhibited. When he encounters injustice and evil, if no one is in charge, he will definitely step forward to intervene, but if there is someone in charge, or there is someone better who is better
If someone comes to take care of it, he will definitely throw away his hands in a hurry. Relaxation and comfort are extremely important.
Such a person should be very comfortable, right?
As we were talking, we were almost at the county government office.
Suddenly I saw a group of Taoists walking in front of me.
This group of Taoists seemed to be going to the county government office. There were about a dozen of them, some of whom were carrying packages or baskets on their backs, and each of them held a long sword in his hand.
One of them, Lin Jue, knew the third senior brother.
It was Taoist Priest Qingxuan.
When they saw him, Taoist Qingxuan also saw them. They both looked at each other in surprise.
Then the two parties met at the gate of the county government office.
On one side there were more than a dozen Taoist priests, most of whom were in their twenties and thirties. On the other side there were only two people and one fox, but there were countless businessmen and people behind them.
Both parties reported each other's names.
"Fellow Taoist, this is..."
"We were invited by the merchants in the city to get rid of the demons in the city. We worked all night. In the morning, we were suddenly warned by this demon with magic. We ignored it, and he wanted our lives. In the end, he was captured. Most likely, he and the people in the city
It's related to the ghost who stole the money." Lin Jue said and looked at them, "Where are you, Taoist Priest Qingxuan?"
"It's shameful to say the least," Taoist Qingxuan said. "Previously, Guiguan sent people to inform us about things in Yi County. Later, people came to ask for help. However, the temple has been very busy and we didn't have time until the past few days.
When I came to Yi County, I passed through several mountain villages, and there were some strange things. It was originally a two-day journey, but it took four or five days to get there."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to the businessman next to Lin Jue.
The merchants also surrendered to him.
Both parties seemed to know each other, and both felt a little ashamed.
Seeing this, Lin Jue had some guesses in his mind. Probably these businessmen went to the more famous Qiyun Mountain before going up to Fuqiu Peak. At this time, one party felt that the other party was looking for him and agreed, but he did not come for a long time. The other party
He felt that he had invited the other party, and then went to Yishan to invite another expert. Both parties felt a little sorry.
"Haha, just right!" The third senior brother seemed to have found an opportunity, "This kind of thing should be taken care of by the gods. Now that the fellow Taoists from Qiyun Mountain are here, we will be free."
"Forehead……"
Taoist Priest Qingxuan turned around and asked for advice.
Lin Jue saw him glance at the people behind him, mostly at the Taoist priests who were older than him, but the one whose eyes stayed the longest was one of them, Kun Taoist, who looked to be less than twenty years old.
.
The woman was wearing a Taoist robe, with regular features, and was very beautiful. What impressed Lin Jue deeply was her unusually white skin. I heard just now that her name seemed to be Jiang Ning.
Kun Dao nodded imperceptibly.
"Of course, our Xuantian Temple came to Yixian this time to clear away the evil spirits in this place. What's more, the people here also want to invite the statue of our god king." Taoist Master Qingxuan said, "I received the report from your temple at that time.
We attach great importance to the letter, but hey, fellow Taoists also know that we have some trouble reporting to the gods, not to mention that in the past few years, there have been quite a lot of demons and ghosts in the world..."
"Natural and natural..."
The third senior brother also said the same thing, but compared to Taoist Priest Qingxuan's solemnity, he was much more cheerful. Then he pointed at the man in gray robe next to Lin Jue and said: "The rat demon here has death energy on him, and this demon also has death energy on him.
He's angry, but he's not of high moral character, and I'm afraid there's a real murderer behind the scenes."
"Leave it to us."
This sentence was said by the woman, her voice was calm and sincere:
"Fellow Taoist's reminder has been of great help to us, and we must thank you. When our investigation and elimination of demons are completed, we will definitely send a written letter to Guiguan to inform us of the results of the investigation and elimination. We owe the two Taoist friends for their contribution to this matter.
It will definitely be reported to God and recorded in the merit book."
"Huh? This is..."
"This is my junior sister Jiang Ning. Although she is young, she is favored by the Lord God. She is a mage who has been awarded the nun." Taoist Priest Qingxuan said with a smile, "Perhaps there will be a chance to meet again in the future."
What this actually means is that what this woman said works.
The third senior brother was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that it was her who made the decision, but since the other party was so particular, he suppressed his smile and solemnly handed over his hand.
Both parties saluted each other.
Chapter completed!
