Strange Stories

Chapter 600: Reversing Yin and Yang, Returning to the Sun
"Why did True Lord Qingmiao leave the battle?"

"Replying to the Emperor, True Lord Qingmiao said that his weapon was taken away by that Taoist and he can no longer fight."

"What about the Green Mother?"

"Replying to the Master, her most precious treasure was smashed to pieces, and she was also injured by that immortal person on earth. She is very sad."

In the golden palace of the divine palace, many gods gathered in front of the sky-viewing mirror, watching the great war on earth. Among them were some gods who were revered as certain emperors.

But after seeing the Giant Defense God Lord grow bigger, looking at the entire Yishan Mountain, there are few peaks that can be higher than him. Even when facing the Lotus Peak that stood up, he is not at all inferior. The two sides collided with each other with force, and sometimes the wind waves even blew to the sky, and some old gods who were in their twilight years could not bear it.

However, since True Lord Qingmiao had left the battlefield and Goddess Qingmu had lost the strength to fight again, even with the help of the four righteous gods, the True Lords and gods were unable to capture Mount Yishan.

At this time, another priest came on a cloud and reported:
"Report to the Emperor of Heaven and all the gods and immortals, someone has seen the Bodhisattvas and Vajra of Buddhism and the Eight Heavenly Dragons!"

"Where are they? What's going on?" a spirit asked, "Your Majesty has already ordered them to come, why haven't they arrived at Yishan yet?"

"It is said that they came here to help under the order of the Emperor of Heaven, but as soon as they left the West Heaven, they were stopped by the Tianshan Patriarch of the Western Region and several other gods. After repelling them with great difficulty, they were afraid of delaying the Emperor of Heaven's order, so they hurried this way. However, as soon as they reached the south, they were stopped again."

"Who blocked it?"

"They are the gods under the command of the Southern Jade Mirror Emperor. They seem to be Yili God and Yuezhao Yuanjun."

An old immortal asked hurriedly.

But I heard the Purple Emperor say:
"Turn the Sky Mirror."

The two spiritual officials in front of the mirror, called the Mirror-Observing Generals, were in charge of matters concerning the Mirror. Upon hearing this, they immediately pointed.

The priest who was reporting stepped forward and explained the location to them in detail.

I saw the picture in the sky-viewing mirror change several times, and after a few blurs, the sky was filled with Buddha clouds.

Above the Buddha cloud, Buddha's light was shining everywhere. Two Bodhisattvas were sitting on lotus platforms, one holding a pure bottle and the other picking up a flower with her fingers. Behind them were Vajra Arhats sitting on lotus platforms, also emitting Buddha's light. Behind them, above the even higher Buddha cloud, eight kinds of celestial dragons gathered, some looked like monsters, some like ghosts, and some like dragons and snakes. It was simply a group of demons dancing wildly.

Zi Di's eyes turned slightly cold, and he said nothing more.

The ones who blocked their way were none other than the Southern Divine Lord Yili and the Yuezhao Yuanjun. Behind them were the two generals of thunder and fire, as well as dozens of less famous generals and three thousand heavenly soldiers.

"We are following the order of the Emperor of Heaven to go to Mount Yishan to support the battle. The two True Lords are the gods of the Nine Heavens, why are you stopping us?" The Bodhisattva holding the pure bottle was the Bodhisattva of Pure Karma, and he asked.

"This is the incense place of Emperor Yujian, and the Bodhisattvas of the Western Heaven are not allowed to enter." Yuezhao Yuanjun said, "If you want to be a guest, please allow us to send someone back to report to the emperor and make arrangements for the reception. We will invite the Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist sect to come another day."

The two Bodhisattvas looked at each other in surprise.

Another Bodhisattva of Light and Sound Wonderful Enlightenment spoke up and said, "Doesn't the Jade Mirror Emperor respect the Heavenly Emperor anymore?"

He asked this question to Lord Yili.

Obviously in his opinion, the status of Lord Yili, the leader of the Three Saints of the South, is much higher than that of Lord Yuezhao.

However, Lord Yili did not say anything. Only Lord Yuejing Dongzhao Yuan spoke indifferently:
"My emperor doesn't know, this is an act between me and my brother."

"Don't you two donors respect the Emperor of Heaven?"

"Of course we respect the Emperor of Heaven, but we respect the righteous path more. Today, the Emperor of Heaven is wantonly exterminating demons without distinguishing between good and evil. He has fallen into paranoia, and the nine gods in heaven and the gods of the earth on earth all have complaints. Even fellow Buddhists, the reason you dare to come here, in my opinion, is that you are greedy for the incense in the south, it is too far away from the Central Plains, and the Emperor of Heaven has not yet set his sights on you eight celestial dragons."

Taoist Priest Jiang glanced at the Eight Heavenly Dragons behind them:
"Please go back. The last time Bodhisattva Ciyun came to the south, we ignored him. We will never let you go to Yishan this time."

The two Bodhisattvas looked at each other again.

Speaking of fighting, although the Buddhist Bodhisattvas have great magical powers, most of them are not good at fighting. They really have no confidence that they can defeat Yili Divine Lord, the leader of the Three Southern Saints. The Vajra Arhat is slightly better. Those who came this time are also selected to be good at fighting, but they may not be able to beat the gods and generals on the opposite side. The Eight Heavenly Dragons are fierce and good at fighting, but the armor, swords, guns, military laws and battle formations of the heavenly soldiers are no joke.

What's more, they had just fought against the Tianshan Patriarch and the Western Regions gods, and they had suffered losses and were exhausted. On the other hand, the other side was not only well-rested, but also had the incense land of the Southern gods behind them, with continuous incense and endless divine power.

For a while, the two sides confronted each other.

And above the nine heavenly clouds, in the golden palace of the Divine Palace, many gods were silent.

They all realized one thing—

Emperor Yujian's attitude seemed to begin to change.

Originally, according to their speculation, even if Emperor Yujian fought with Emperor Zi again, it should have been at least until the end of the dynasty.

However, Master Lin, who was able to implicate Lord Fuchi, Master Yishan, who was able to compete with the Nine Heavenly Gods, and all parties' dissatisfaction with the Purple Emperor, either pretending to obey or offering a helping hand, allowed him to see the opportunity in advance.

"Humph……"

The Purple Emperor ordered General Guanjing to turn back the Guantian Mirror.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a Taoist who looked like an old farmer holding a silver mirror on the battlefield where the sun and moon were dim.

“Jiong Jiong Jiong…”

Silver light began to emit from the silver mirror.

These silver lights were as dazzling as lightning even in the daytime, nine at a time, shooting in different directions and continuously.

For a moment, in the Yishan Mountain in the lower world, the sky was full of silver light, which intertwined into a net and shot towards the true gods and spirits.

The True Lord can still block it, but those great immortals and gods can only rely on their magical powers to avoid it to save their lives. If they can't avoid it, there is no way they can resist it.

There was even silver light shooting towards the sky.

"Jiong..."

Then a ray of silver light shot out from the bottom of the golden palace of the shrine, piercing through the sky and the earth in an instant. Fortunately, there was no tile roof above the golden palace of the shrine, and the light did not hit the emperor or the god, so no damage was caused.

Even so, several old gods were frightened and retreated again and again, and the martial gods guarding the palace also rushed forward to protect the Emperor of Gods.

"Why are you panicking?" The Purple Emperor asked, "Who still remembers what kind of magic Yishan practices?"

"Your Majesty, it is the Yin-Yang Spiritual Technique."

"Humph!" The Purple Emperor snorted again, "You dare to be so presumptuous in front of me even though you practice Yin-Yang spiritual arts?"

After he finished speaking, he waved towards the underworld.

……

It was daytime in Yishan in the lower world, the sun was scorching, and the real masters of both sides were fighting fiercely. Suddenly, they felt that the heaven and earth changed strangely.

Both parties stopped fighting immediately and looked up.

I saw that the sun, which was just right above my head, began to move rapidly to the west. It was not only visible to the naked eye, but also extremely clear.

In the blink of an eye, it moved a little westward, in a breath, it moved half way westward, and in just two or three breaths, the scorching sun was approaching Mount Yishan.

The sunlight between heaven and earth also quickly changed from blazing white to pale gold, then to pale yellowish orange, until now, it was already bright red like blood. The scorching sun that was originally impossible to look directly at also showed its outline on the horizon, a rouge-colored round shape, illuminating the sky full of colorful clouds.

Just like any other sunset.

This is also what is frightening——

In every way, it looked exactly like a normal sunset.

There was no spatial fluctuation, no magic or supernatural power, no trace of any illusion, and even no sense of any mysterious truth. It was as if the sun was simply moving a little faster. At the same time, the spiritual charm of the sun between heaven and earth was gradually decreasing. It was truly dusk.

The next moment, the sun sank into the bottom of the mountain.

The sky and the earth darkened rapidly and night fell.

But it is not just Mount Yishan, not just in Yi County, not even in the entire Huizhou, but the whole world is like this.

The sun set, but no moon or stars rose.

The world was completely dark, without any light source, and without any yin and yang spirit.

It was no longer daytime, so the sun's aura had almost disappeared, but it was not nighttime either, so the moon's aura had not yet arrived.

The darkness at this moment is truly despairing.

"Canopy..."

Several balls of flame rose into the sky and turned into the sun and the moon.

Countless fireflies flew out and formed a sky full of stars.

Those heavenly soldiers and generals were emitting divine light all over their bodies, and the eyes of the True Lords were as bright as lanterns, and the weapons in their hands also emitted divine light. Some stone palace lanterns also lit up in the parts of the back of the huge mountain god that were not broken, illuminating the rock cracks, grass, and stone steps on its body.

A little bit of light illuminates the world.

It also illuminated the shocked face of the Taoist priest from Yishan.

"Not good! This is the supreme magical power of the Purple Emperor, reversing yin and yang!" Xuan Ming Zhenren said, "I think the sun has set on the entire world! He actually came to help in person, we can't fight anymore!"

Except for the junior sister, all the Yishan Immortals practiced Yin-Yang spiritual magic. Fuyao also practiced Yin-Yang spiritual magic. Taoist Bailuan and Immortal Moyu were monsters, and monsters were most likely practicing Yin-Yang spiritual magic. Only the junior sister, Immortal Xuanming, and the Yishan Mountain God were not related to Yin-Yang spiritual rhyme.

On the other hand, the gods mostly rely on the power of incense and offerings, while the immortals mostly practice the spiritual methods of heaven and earth.

As a result, it would be difficult for them to replenish their magic power, and defeat was inevitable.

Another voice came from the Ninth Heaven:
"The Emperor of Heaven has issued a decree to razing Yishan within three days."

The hearts of everyone in Yishan sank.

Is there no choice but to escape?

It is not so easy to kill a real person, and they all have magical powers to save their lives. They can leave, but if they leave, how can the God of Yishan leave?
Are you going to abandon the mountain god?
At this point, I heard the eldest brother speak:
"Senior Xuanming, Senior Bailuan, Senior Moyu, if you can leave, please leave quickly. Fuqiu Guanshi of Fuqiu Peak is taken care of by the mountain god of Yishan, and no one has ever repaid him. I am from Fuqiu Peak, and I swear to live and die with Fuqiu and the mountain god."

"Tsk tsk, it's not easy, Boss. It's rare for you to be so decisive and say such a thing." A Taoist said, "It seems that you are qualified to be the master of this temple."

"Third senior brother is confused. The eldest senior brother is no longer the abbot of the temple." said a female Taoist.

"I still have some pills to replenish my mana."

"Don't be so pessimistic. We've had enough fun anyway. And we just need to hold on. Maybe Junior Brother will come back, or Empress Yaohua will come and things will change." Senior Brother Seven frowned and looked up at the sky. "Why hasn't Empress Yaohua arrived yet?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone suddenly dispersed.

It turned out to be a huge whip swinging towards him.

The attack of the true gods, gods, heavenly soldiers and generals has arrived.

But this only lasted for a moment—

The next moment, everyone was shocked again.

Suddenly, a colorful divine light burst out from the sky, almost blocking the sky and the earth. The human world could not see the nine heavens, and the nine heavens could not see the human world.

After a moment, the colorful divine light disappeared.

The nine gods in the sky lowered their heads and looked intently.

The immortals, demons, eight-tailed white fox, and many other living creatures in Mount Yi also looked up at the sky.

"This is……"

Taoist Master Bai Luan and Taoist Master Mo Yu both opened their eyes wide.

The eight-tailed white fox had a serious expression, and there was a hint of doubt in his seriousness.

The few ordinary animals and birds left in the mountains either still had expressions of fear or simple confusion in their eyes, while the ancient monsters in hiding were utterly shocked.

Even the true gods and heavenly soldiers and generals dare not act rashly.

There is a female figure, stepping into the air.

"Ugh……"

The woman was wearing ancient clothes and had the image of a very beautiful lady. As she walked over, she looked towards the broken Yishan Mountain, towards Taoist Bai Luan and Taoist Mo Yu, and towards several Taoists who had already dispersed. Finally, she chose to lower her head and look into the eyes of the eight-tailed white fox, which had its head raised high with a serious and puzzled expression.

At the same time, the sky in the east began to turn pale.

In the blink of an eye, the pale sky turned into a fiery red morning glow.

Then a ray of morning light pierced the darkness, and the round sun rose again from the east, rising higher and higher, becoming more and more dazzling, gradually becoming impossible to look directly at, and the outline of the sun could not be seen clearly.

The sunlight also changed from red to yellow, and then to a warm and gentle beige color. By the time it rose above our heads, it had turned into a dazzling white.

It was as if he was replaying what had just happened.

"Empress Yaohua..."

"Return to Heaven..."

Taoist Master Bai Luan and Taoist Master Mo Yu were both shocked.

Deep in the Yishan Mountain, countless monsters almost knelt down.

Most of the monsters in the mountains are ancient. They have experienced the era of Yaohua Niangniang, who used Huizhou as her Taoist temple. This place is Huizhou. It can almost be said that this is the god they once believed in.

Even many gods above the nine heavens were equally shocked.

"Empress Yaohua has been born again..."

"Yaohua actually dared to come out!"

"Does she want to make a comeback?"

"What should we do now?"

"So Master Lin has figured it out?"

There was a lot of noise and discussion in the Golden Palace of the Shrine.

……

At the same time, in another world.

The wind from Modu Mountain was blowing loudly. It was dry and windy to begin with, and it also brought sand into the temple.

"Snapped……"

The Taoist dropped the last piece.

"The God has lost."

The Taoist smiled and stood up.

"According to the bet, I will go out, but I will not let you feel lonely. I will leave a clone here to accompany you. Haha, my clone technique is not up to standard, and my clone is fragile. Please don't get angry and chop it with your halberd."

Fuchi Shenjun, however, looked at him coldly and said, "You don't trust me?"

"Don't dare."

The Taoist laughed and bowed to him:
"Time passes too fast here. We cannot afford to delay any longer. I will not talk to you any more. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, he split into two, one took a step forward and disappeared, while the other walked to where the original had stood before and sat down again.
