Strange Stories

Chapter 585: Landing in the Northwest
In the attic, the Taoist priest sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

The sun, moon and stars are all moving outside the window.

The Taoist also seems to have the sun, moon and stars in his heart.

The two closest to him and the brightest ones were hanging above his head, one on the left and one on the right.

One is the deeper way of reincarnation of life and death, which is a further step of "life and death creation", and the other is the "Heaven and Earth Creation" also mastered by Lao Tianweng. Both are close to him and within reach.

Raise your hand to pick the stars, and you will grasp the Tao.

It's not that the process of raising your hand is difficult, but that the Taoist deliberately does not stretch out his hand, but continues to deepen his perception.

Before I knew it, there was a letter on the table in front of me.

There is no name on the envelope, it is very simple and elegant.

Lin Jue opened his eyes, and the fox lying next to him immediately said:
"Pu Mei brought it back! Pu Mei waited in front of Lady Yaohua's cave for three years for the letter!"

"It's so slow..."

Lin Jue said this and opened the envelope.

There was only one line of words on the letter paper:

If you can fight against Lord Fuchi, I will come to help you.

"really……"

Lin Juexin thought.

The cave in Qingyan County is indeed the place where Empress Yaohua once practiced. Although the person inside is most likely not Empress Yaohua, he has a direct relationship with her.

Therefore, when the necessary time comes, it will be possible to contact Niangniang Yaohua through it.

However, the necessary timing and whether Empress Yaohua will reply to you also depends on your ability.

Lin Jue obviously did not have this qualification before.

It's almost there at this point.

But this "as expected" is more than that.

Lin Jue was still lamenting about another thing——

In the deduction of the old astronomical man, Lin Jue was not found until the end by Fuchi Shenjun, and Yao Hua Niangniang never appeared. Lin Jue originally speculated that there might be many reasons, such as the time was too far away, and the old astronomical man's deduction became increasingly difficult, resulting in distorted results, or Yao Hua Niangniang was a powerful demon, and the old astronomical man could not deduce it, or avoided her.

For example, Empress Yaohua has other plans.

Now it seems that the last one probably accounts for a large proportion.

Lady Yaohua was defeated by the old man personally. She can be said to be an old rival or an old friend. The old man must know her very well.

Empress Yaohua had been planning and waiting for many years, and would not act rashly. Now that she thought about it, it was probably in an illusion, and she was still unable to match the Fuchi Divine Lord, let alone the Purple Emperor. At this time, even if Empress Yaohua came out to help, there was no guarantee of victory, so she chose to wait and see, and chose to use her own life and the lives of her brothers and sisters to wear down the Purple Emperor's power.

For example, Lord Fu Chi has already retired, so even if he is called out by Emperor Zi again, it may only be that time.

For example, his prestige in the mortal world is extremely high. When he fights with the Purple Emperor, in addition to a direct fight with Lord Fuchi, he will certainly erode the Purple Emperor's faith and worship in the mortal world.

For example, the Southern God System took advantage of this opportunity to rise again.

For example, the world will eventually decline after a long period of prosperity, and will eventually divide after a long period of unity, and this is the law of change of dynasties.

She will come out only when the time is right.

"Humph……"

Lin Jue snorted and threw the letter away.

Boom! There was a ball of fire in the sky.

This attracted the fox's attention. It quickly stood up, hooked the fire in the air with its claws, and then hooked the falling ashes.

It stopped only when the ashes turned into slag and then into powder. It turned its head curiously and asked, "Why did you burn it? Why didn't you put it in the box to store it?"

Then he saw that the Taoist had closed his eyes again and continued to meditate on the truth, without answering it at all.

……

In the Yuanqiu fairyland, someone was playing chess with Tianweng.

At the Scissor Peak of Yishan Mountain, someone was also playing chess with the Emperor of Heaven.

The Emperor of Heaven listened to the report from the gods and had an idea in his mind. He closed his eyes for a moment. Even though he did not have the ability to see through things for ten thousand years like Emperor Ming Tianweng, he could guess what would happen next as well as anyone else.

"The Taoist from Yishan..."

A pair of eyes were gazing at the world, and suddenly their gaze shifted to the west.

The Purple Emperor set down his capital in the northwest.

On the Jiandao Peak, in a thatched cottage, the blind Taoist priest sat cross-legged, with several fellow disciples beside him, including the fourth brother who did not achieve enlightenment.

"Empress Yaohua has given her answer, and Junior Brother is also ready to fight against Lord Fuchi. Time is on our side, and the longer we delay, the better it will be for us." Senior Brother Six shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the Purple Emperor is too domineering. We are from the same school, and even if he doesn't have any friendship with the monsters, he may find it difficult to tolerate us. He won't give us any delay."

"How to say?"

"Tianshan!"

Sixth Brother turned his head to face the north. Although his eyes were closed, there seemed to be a chessboard in his mind. The chess pieces were like stars in the sky, and there was an evil star heading northwest.

"what?"

“Several fellow disciples have achieved enlightenment one after another, and all those who have refined golden elixirs are related to the Tianshan Patriarch.

"The Purple Emperor could not tolerate non-human gods, and he was so domineering. In addition, the Nine Heavens gods suppressed the Lingfa School, feared the immortals, and feared us brothers. Therefore, before attacking us, he first attacked those natural gods, goblins, and ghosts who were far away from the Central Plains and had the ability to achieve enlightenment. The first to bear the brunt was Tianshan."

The Sixth Senior Brother couldn't help but smile as he spoke:
"This is a very good move. It can force us to take action. Once we take action, they can find a reason to attack us. They can also clear the border first and then the interior. They can also seize Tianshan and the thousand-year-old snow lotus, blocking the Four Directions Five Elements Golden Pill that can help the Taoists of the Lingfa School achieve enlightenment and increase their combat power. It really kills two birds with one stone."

"What about that?"

"Don't worry. This may not be good for us, but it may also be helpful to us." The sixth brother said, "No matter what, the Tianshan Patriarch has done a favor to several brothers, and we can't ignore it. My younger brother is concentrating on enlightenment at the moment, so it's inconvenient for him to go over. I would like to ask the brothers to go over there. If they can save the Tianshan Patriarch once, they may also help us when the Purple Emperor goes crazy." "Well..."

The eldest brother is still thinking.

People have their stances and their friendships. For example, when the Purple Emperor was eliminating other monsters and gods, even if they were upright and kind monsters and gods, they would not necessarily interfere if they had no relatives or friends.

But the Tianshan Patriarch is different.

The Tianshan Patriarch had a good relationship with the junior brother and them, and had done them a favor. The reason why they could refine the golden elixir was inseparable from the Tianshan Patriarch. Just like the mountain god of Yishan, if the Purple Emperor went crazy and wanted to eliminate the mountain god of Yishan, they would not be able to stand idly by.

"Then I will go with my second and third junior brothers."

"How is your bean soldier training going?"

"After becoming a true Taoist, I have been practicing Buddhism."

"Take it with you as well." The Sixth Senior Brother warned, "Remember, although the favor is great, sometimes you have to be more cunning. You have to show up at the critical moment."

"Understood."

The three immortals summoned white clouds and headed northwest.

But unexpectedly, as soon as we arrived at Tianshan, there were already dark clouds and drums of war.

Rumble…

The entire sky was filled with dark clouds, on which stood heavenly soldiers, generals and priests from various departments. Some beat drums to cheer, while others flew down to the human world.

The battle between the heavenly soldiers and the demon generals on the Tianshan Mountains was like a massacre. There were also priests holding fire cups, standing on the clouds and pouring down fire, melting the ice and snow, burning the palaces, and even the snow lotus that had grown on the Tianshan Mountains for who knows how many years was turned into ashes and disappeared in the sea of ​​fire.

First, a god stood with a sword in hand:

"Ancestor Tianshan, considering that you have not committed any evil deeds in many years, please give up your resistance and follow me back, lest I turn your snow mountain into a volcano and your temple into a purgatory!"

The old woman in gorgeous clothes below is angry and puzzled:

"I am innocent! Why did you arrest me for no reason? Is this how the emperor of heaven acts?"

"You are not human, but you enjoy offerings from the human world! You do not respect the Nine Heavens, but you occupy the mountains of the human world! Although you have never rebelled against the Nine Heavens, you also do not obey the orders of the Emperor of Heaven. Moreover, every fifty years you gather demons and ghosts from all over the world. I wonder what they are talking about here. Isn't this a sin?"

When the eldest senior brother arrived, he couldn't help but feel dazed.

This is what happened to the Purple Emperor in the illusion in the end.

No matter whether they are good or evil monsters, or even long-famous natural gods, if they worship Jiu Tian, ​​they will be deposed. If they do not worship Jiu Tian, ​​heavenly soldiers and generals will immediately come on clouds and smash your temple to pieces. All your descendants and disciples will be killed or captured, and those who have a relationship with monsters will also be implicated.

Until we reached the top of Yishan Mountain.

It turns out that it wasn't until then that the Purple Emperor went crazy...

It has always been like this in his heart, but the time has not yet come, so he started with the evil monsters, then the small monsters, and worked his way up slowly.

Suddenly, Baiyun accelerated forward!
"Sir, stop it!!"

"Who is coming?"

The long snake god holding the sword turned around immediately.

Only then could one see clearly that this deity was tall and dressed in armor. However, the strange thing was that a pair of small hands grew out of his eyes, and his palms were pushed out flat, with an eye in each palm - the two palms were slightly turning, looking at the three people who came over.

"We are the Taoist priests of Yishan. We have some friendship with the Patriarch of Tianshan here. We have received her hospitality and kindness before. We also know that she is kind and hospitable. We would like to ask the Lord to show mercy!"

"This is the Purple Emperor's order. There is no need to raise a hand." The Heavenly God was silent. "Besides, I am only taking her back. Whether she is kind or not, the Heavenly Emperor will make his own judgment. If the immortals really have a history with her, why not persuade her to give up resistance and go back with us obediently."

"Please calm down, my Lord."

The eldest brother still maintained his courtesy.

"Friends! Is Master Lin here?" An old voice came from the top of Tianshan Mountain. "Your Emperor is too tyrannical. He is wantonly eliminating inhuman gods in the Western Regions. Please save me."

"My junior brother is still in seclusion, and he specifically told us to come and help the ancestor." The second senior brother said, "Ancestor, don't worry, you have done us a favor. Today, the three of us brothers are here, and we will do our best to protect the ancestor."

"Ok?"

When the Long Snake God heard this, his expression froze, and he immediately pressed his sword with his big hand: "What do you mean? Do you dare to defy the will of heaven?"

Although there were three immortals in front of him, he was the Northern True Lord Martial God who was good at fighting. Facing ordinary real immortals was like a warrior facing ordinary people. Naturally, he was not afraid of these three immortals.

"God Lord..."

The eldest brother turned around, his face showing helplessness and respect. In fact, he was just remembering what the sixth brother said, "delay":
"We know that the Lord God has come here on orders. Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. However, we do have a history with this Tianshan Patriarch, and we have received her kindness. We cannot sit back and watch her being taken away by the Lord God today. Please consider her advanced age and investigate carefully before making a decision."

"There is nothing to investigate! Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!" The Long Snake God tightly grasped the hilt of the sword. "You are immortals on earth, so why do you have to go against the Emperor of Heaven for such a natural and natural spirit?"

The eldest brother did not refute him, nor did he say anything else, he just said:
"Repay kindness with kindness and take revenge with revenge."

"Good! How about repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge! Then let's see what you can do today!"

The Long Snake God laughed loudly. Facing three immortals and an ancestor of Tianshan, he was not afraid at all. His aura alone was much more powerful than that of the True Lord under the command of the previous Tianweng.

With a loud bang, the war drums that had been silent for a moment began to beat again.

Dark clouds began to move forward, and above them stood a large number of heavenly soldiers and generals in neat military formations.

"Haha! How come half of the heavenly soldiers are down to earth, and the other half are standing up there watching the battle? It turns out that this is prepared for us!"

The third brother took off a bag from his waist.

At the same time, the white clouds under his feet suddenly spread out and extended for dozens of miles.

He didn't need to reach out to grab them, but just pointed, and thousands of beans immediately fell out of the bag. Some were his own, and some were passed down from generation to generation in Fuqiu Temple. Some were the size of soybeans, and some were the size of pigeon eggs.

Some turned into armored soldiers, some holding swords, some holding spears, some holding bows and arrows, and some holding hammers and maces. The styles of their armors showed the charm of different dynasties. They also quickly formed neat military formations on the white clouds.
There were also twelve wooden balls that turned into huge armored giants, like the legendary giant gods, standing in the army, standing out like a crane among chickens.

The two sides confronted each other, and it was difficult to tell which side was more powerful.
