Chapter 748 Encountering the Immortal's Book of Heaven

"How to stop the army from approaching?"

As soon as this question was asked, the temple fell silent.

Through the small window of the temple, General Song said, "I see there seem to be a few small boats on the riverbank. We have brothers who are good at swimming. Please take the trouble to row a boat here. We can cross the river before the soldiers catch up with us. By then, the sky will be high and birds will fly freely, and the sea will be wide and fish will swim freely. When we return to Xiliang Mountain, we will have nothing to fear."

Chao Pan immediately called out to several leaders and said, "You are all quite experienced in water, so crossing the river should be easy for you. Go quickly!"

The men immediately stripped naked, put only a machete on their waist, and jumped into the river.

The boats on the other side of the river seemed to know that there were people in the water, and instead of retreating, they advanced straight towards the few people. Everyone looked again, but saw that there were dozens of big men on those boats, each holding a weapon.

"Oh no, could it be government officials?!" Chao Shan said worriedly.

Song Jiangning looked carefully, but clapped his hands and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay. I recognize you."

After saying he recognized him, General Song stood up and walked out of the temple gate. He came to the riverside and shouted, "Brother Shun'er, please come ashore and have a chat!"

These people were the heroes by the river that General Song had made friends with before he was imprisoned. When they heard that he was imprisoned, they wanted to rescue him, but they didn't know what to do, so they gathered here to discuss the matter. They never expected that they would meet by chance due to the influence of their energy.

When the people on the boat saw that it was the Song general, they were all overjoyed and quickly rowed the boat to the shore.

Seeing that it was just like that, the people underwater put away their machetes and went ashore.

There were about fifty people on the three boats, all of whom were friends of these heroes. There were strong men, farmhands, and people who sold salt and fire.

Now that everyone has gathered in this nameless little temple, the momentum is even more shocking!
General Song hurried forward to introduce them, and only then did they know the identities of both parties and meet them one by one.

There were about 180 people in the temple. Just as they explained what had happened, a minion came in in a panic to report.

"Oh no! Oh no! The county magistrate's troops have already caught up with us. From afar, we can only see banners covering the sky, their momentum like a tiger, their swords and knives like hemp, their ferocity shaking the heavens. They will be in front of the temple in less than half an incense stick of time."

Hearing this, everyone's heart tightened, and they all had sad faces. Only Li Kui laughed to himself. He held two Xuanhua axes in his hands and shouted: "Let's just fight our way out. There's nothing to be afraid of!"

Chao Shan sighed, "Jiangcheng is an important city for the imperial court. There are over ten thousand soldiers stationed in the city. We have caused such a big disturbance that they must have dispatched at least three thousand soldiers. We only have less than two hundred people now. What can we do?"

"I have a way." At this time a clear voice sounded.

Everyone turned around to look, and saw a Taoist priest in feathered robes walking out from the crowd.

But this Taoist had a handsome face, extraordinary temperament, and a smiling face with an otherworldly air, which did not seem like an ordinary person at all.

"This..." Chao Pan was slightly startled, and after looking him up and down, he asked, "I wonder if he is a good friend of that hero?"

Because there were all kinds of people here, and several groups of people gathered together, Chao Pan was unable to recognize them for a while, so he asked and turned his attention to his good brother Song Jiang.

Unexpectedly, everyone shook their heads, even the Song general who had a wide circle of friends said he didn't know him.

On the other hand, the evil Black Wind Li Kui laughed and said, "Why is it you? I thought you were scared away in the city."

Li Ming naturally shook his head and said, "This scene doesn't scare me. A cultivator's heart is in the universe. Reincarnation in the mortal world, the old goes and the new comes, is the natural law. Moreover, the karma of killing in this mortal world has been entangled for thousands of years. The killing karma is very heavy. It is time for a revolution. Otherwise, there would be no killer like him coming to the world to kill."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Li Kui. While he possessed considerable divine power, he didn't look like the incarnation of a killer star from the upper realm, leading to some hesitation. Li Ming said nothing further, continuing, "Whether you believe it or not, this black fellow is a killer star from the heavens, incarnated on earth. You all also have extraordinary destinies, born into this world with merit. It's because your merits and virtues in the upper realms were insufficient, contaminated by the mundane, and aroused a certain evil inclination, that you descended to the mortal realm. Now, you must uphold the Way of Heaven, practice the righteous Dharma, and reap the rewards of good deeds. Then, you can ascend to heaven and become star lords once more."

Some people were shocked when they heard this, some did not believe it, most were skeptical, and no one really listened to it.

Instead, General Song asked, "But I wonder who among you is able to see the secrets of heaven and tell them to your mouth."

Li Ming laughed heartily and said, "I am a frivolous person who has wandered freely throughout my life. I count my mysteries with my fingers and keep the secrets in my heart. You can call me Tianyunzi."

"Please forgive us for not believing everything you said right now, but the army is approaching and our lives are in danger at any moment. I wonder how you can save me?" Chao Pan asked.

Li Ming chuckled and took out a scroll of heavenly book from his arms.

"I have a heavenly book containing the Six Strategies and profound principles. A mere army is nothing to fear."

When the crowd saw the Taoist holding out a scroll of heavenly books, Li Kui, who looked unremarkable, became impatient and shouted, "You crazy Taoist, what kind of nonsense are you trying to fool us with? We should just fight our way out. Why listen to his nonsense?"

After saying that, he stepped forward to push Li Ming, but unexpectedly, Li Ming did not move at all. An incredible expression immediately appeared on Li Kui's face.

He even shouted, "You Taoist may look weak, but your footwork is quite good. I don't believe it!"

As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves and immediately pushed with all his strength, but he didn't expect that Li Ming was like a floating cotton ball, and in a flash, the huge force seemed to be completely reversed.

Li Kui fell flat on his face and rolled three times on the ground.

Li Ming pointed his finger and said, "You fool, you have been disrespectful to me time and again. Today I will punish you with a small punishment and a big warning!"

After saying that, Li Ming tapped Li Kui lightly, but saw that Li Kui's face was covered with black beard like falling rain, and his body suddenly shrank by half, only the black skin remained the same.

When Li Kui came to his senses, he quickly scolded: "You..."

"Hmm?"

Li Kui was also startled when he heard his own voice, because the voice that came out was not his own deep voice, but a very tender voice like a child. He quickly looked at his arms and found that his sleeves had grown a lot longer, and his clothes were loose and about to fall off. He looked at the other people around him and found that they were all looking at him in shock. Not only that, they had also grown a lot taller.

He then said in a baby voice, "What's going on?"

Everyone was speechless when they saw Li Kui, who had turned into a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. After all, who wouldn't be surprised to see a dark-faced man suddenly turn into a chubby young boy?
General Song quickly said, "My brother does not know the immortal's magic. Please do not blame me and forgive me."

"Brother, let me go. I'm going to chop him to pieces!" Li Kui, who had turned into a naughty boy, was still roaring loudly, but his strength remained the same even after his body shrank, and he was held down by his brother and could not move forward.

Li Ming laughed heartily at the scene and said, "Rejuvenation is a dream that many people long for. You black bastard, you really don't know what's good for you. If you say something rude again, I'll point my finger at you and turn you into a baby in swaddling clothes, unable to speak!"

Li Ming's words, which were half a joke and half a threat, finally made Li Kui shut up and shrank back in a depressed mood.

When the others witnessed Li Ming's magical powers, they immediately knelt down and called him an immortal.

Li Ming threw the Heavenly Book and said, "I will use the Zhoutian Great Formation to deal with the enemy. I promise you will be safe and sound."
