Chapter 215: Green Narcissus and the Heavenly Soldiers

Chapter 215: Green Narcissus and the Heavenly Soldiers The autumn fog is so thick that you can’t see people from a distance. I don't know how many people were walking on this road together, and there was a strange atmosphere. The three of them caught up with the large group in front. Lin Jue saw some children, most of whom were following their parents to worship the Green Narcissus. They were walking in the thick fog and could only see many human shadows. They felt it was mysterious and were very excited, running around on the road. The three followed them silently. "Mr. Luo, if you see that Green Narcissus and you fight him, if you can win, please leave him alive." "Do you suspect it has something to do with the Crocodile King?" "Yes." "I doubt it too."

The two spoke in low voices. After walking forty miles along the main road, we took a small road which was about ten miles long and passed through the valleys and rivers on the mountains, becoming more and more remote. The sky was getting brighter. It was almost noon when we got there. I saw that this place was a valley with steep cliffs on both sides and a small waterfall in front. Although the waterfall was small, the water flowed straight down, stirring up mist. In addition, there were sedges and trees everywhere, which added a sense of mystery and depth under the heavy mist. The autumn in this place seems to come later than in other places, and there are colorful forests all around, red and yellow. The birds singing also adds a sense of fairyland. Not far below the small waterfall, there is a square platform built of wood. There are already many people gathered below, and it is very lively. There are even people selling scones and rice dumplings here. Lin Jue and the other two came here and stopped. Suddenly, several voices came from the front: "Mother, you have never done anything bad in your life. If you are chosen by the Immortal and become a god, you must bless us! Especially your grandson, you must bless him to go to high school next year!" "Hahaha! Good, good, good!" "Please bless our family to get rich too!" "Hehe, the Immortal Master may not be interested in my old body..." "Oh my god, I'll definitely be selected!" Lin Jue and the other two all turned to look. There were two middle-aged men who looked somewhat similar, supporting an old lady. The fabrics of the clothes on the three of them were all good, except for the old lady's clothes which didn't fit her well. The two middle-aged men looked hopeful.

The old lady was also smiling, her face flushed. Just as I cast my eyes over there, I heard an old voice coming from behind me, which seemed to be pleading: "Son! Is it okay not to be a god?" Immediately, another younger voice rebuked: "Why not? He is a god! If you are chosen by the immortal and go to heaven, who knows how comfortable and carefree your life will be! And he can also bless our family with wealth and prosperity!" "But……" "Why so many buts? Look at others! Look at the people before you! Many rich men and women have ascended to heaven and become gods! Even if you don't want to be one, can you please consider us? Our family has been poor for generations. Not to mention that you have become a god to bless your descendants, even if you become a god and have enough food to eat, we will be happy for you!" Lin Jue and the other two turned around and looked again. There was also an old man and a middle-aged man, but their clothes were very old. The old man was afraid of being a god, and also afraid of his son, so he could only stammer and hesitate: "But people say, that is, that is..." "shut up!" The middle-aged man actually scolded his father. "You can't just say that! Besides, didn't we agree on this at home? This is a good thing!" "..." The old man lowered his head timidly and dared not speak. The junior sister opened her mouth slightly and stared straight ahead. She suddenly understood why the innkeeper said "there will always be someone here", so this is what was going on. Isn't this just... Isn't this just... Isn't this similar to what I had before? However, no matter how rampant the water monster was in the past, it was never so rampant, its appetite was never so big, and its actions were never so clever, so the whole village forced themselves into the river. It’s more clever here, with an outer layer on, so more people can be pushed in. "..." Unconsciously, her right hand was on the hilt of the sword, her eyes fixed on the three middle-aged men. But suddenly she felt someone was looking at her. Turning around, it was Luo Seng. The man's beard had grown longer, and he also had a sullen look on his face, but he slowly shook his head at her. The junior sister looked at her senior brother again and let go of the hilt of the sword. This is actually an unconscious action.

There are so many people here that the sounds they can hear are very limited. I think there are definitely more than just these two cases of this kind. The three of them looked at each other and slowly left the crowd. There was no need to say much, just a look at the cliffs on both sides and the small waterfall opposite, then found a place and tied up the donkey and horse. "Xiaohua, I'll leave you here to look after our luggage. This is very important. If anyone comes to steal, you can catch him and bite him. If he dares to hit you, blind his eyes." Lin Jue said to the colorful cat. "Meow!" The colorful cat stared at him solemnly, then glanced at two gray donkeys and a horse, then sat down and licked its paws. "Be careful! The Green Narcissus was seen last time, so we should be more vigilant now!" Luo Seng said, "Don't let them find you!" "Um……" The three of them quietly walked towards the cliff next to them. There are dense trees and forests all around, making it difficult to walk. The three of them went all the way to the other side of the cliff. Seeing the steep cliff ahead, Luo Seng originally thought that the two Taoist priests might not be good at climbing mountains and rocks, and wanted to find the gentler path that the young man surnamed Yang had taken to climb up. Then he saw the female Taoist priest walking forward first. She stretched out her hand and scratched the cliff, and a deep pit immediately appeared on the hard cliff wall, just enough for people to use their hands for leverage. Grabbing the depression, she exerted a little force with her arm and climbed up a little. Then she dug with her other hand and found another deep pit. And her movements never stopped. In just a few breaths, she climbed very high. Luo Seng couldn't help but be surprised. "Don't be surprised. This is my junior sister's skill. Let's follow her." Lin Jue said, and climbed up first. Lin Jue also climbed very fast. In a blink of an eye, Luo Seng caught up with him. In another blink of an eye, he saw a white shadow on the cliff. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the fox. It was walking on the almost vertical cliff as if it were flat ground, and it even stopped to look back at him. Luo Seng hung his knife behind him and followed. After climbing a short distance, he found the gentle slope of the cliff. The gentle slope was covered with trees and weeds, many of which were more than one person tall. There was a faint path in the middle, which looked like someone had walked on it. It should be the place where the Yang family disciple had walked before. The three did not walk along this road, but walked beside it. They took advantage of the cover of the bushes and moved forward carefully with the fox leading the way. The mist was gradually thrown away. The three of them walked higher and higher. There was no mist on the top of the mountain, but it was covered with reeds and big trees. At this season, the reeds were all dry and would make noises if touched lightly. Fortunately, Lin Jue and his junior sister could call for wind, and they blew away the wind, making the trees and grass on the entire mountain shake and make rustling sounds, thus covering up the movements of the few people. As they walked, the fox in front suddenly stopped, turned around to look at them, and then immediately jumped off the cliff.

There are monsters ahead! This thought flashed through the minds of several people. Then they showed their magical powers—— Lin Jue took a step to the side. Wood escape technique! The whole body suddenly disappeared into a big tree nearby. The junior sister lay down. Fossil method! Her talent in the Five Elements was better than Lin Jue's. She had also only learned a few spells, but with her concentrated practice, her attainments in this spell had surpassed Lin Jue's. She immediately turned into an ordinary rock. Luo Seng also jumped to the side with quick and agile movements and hid at the edge of the cliff. The wind died down on the mountain. There was a rustling sound ahead. The fox stood on all fours on the steep cliff, as if it was standing on flat ground. It tilted its head to look at the monk Luo who was clinging to the edge of the cliff not far away, and then raised its head to look upwards. But from this angle, it was obvious that it couldn't see anything. The junior sister turned into stone and couldn't see anything. Only Lin Jue hid in the tree. As his attainments in magic became higher and higher, he was able to possess some of his five senses in the tree and could see the scene in front of him. I saw two silver-armored warriors walking towards me. They were tall and mighty, with handsome faces, wearing silver helmets and silver armor, and snow-white cloaks, looking like heavenly soldiers and generals. However, their faces were somewhat stiff, and their walking posture was somewhat strange. When they walked past Lin Jue, Lin Jue even smelled a bit of fishy odor and immediately knew that they were definitely not heavenly soldiers and generals. It should be some kind of illusion, used to deal with anyone who might come to the mountain to spy again. "No one." "I said no one would dare to come again!" One of the silver-armored warriors stepped one foot on the stone that the little junior sister had turned into, and there was a strange, muffled sound. "Look at the altar below. This time, most of the people there are old guys, and they are all ordinary people." "Ordinary people are better off! Ordinary people suffer, and the king doesn't eat, so it's just right for us to eat!" "But it's too old." "Don't be picky! He is still a human being after all. He practiced in the water and waited in the water. How long will it take for him to eat human flesh? Look around again. When the time is up, it's time to go back and protect the military advisor." "Um……" The two of them walked past the tree where Lin Jue was living. They walked around several times until almost noon, then they left.

Lin Juexian came out from the tree. He walked over quietly and knocked on the stone that the junior sister had turned into, and she immediately turned back into human form. Luo Seng also followed the fox out. "what is that?" "I don't know, I just know that they are two monsters that have transformed into heavenly soldiers and generals." Lin Jue said, walking behind the little sister, and saw that the clothes on her back were a little wet. He pulled them over and smelled them, and there was a fishy smell. "They should be monsters from the water, and they smell very fishy." The junior sister stood there and touched her back with her backhand. At this time, the sound of firecrackers was heard below. "Crackling..." Lin Jue waved his sleeves, calling in the mountain breeze. The fox was still leading the way, and with the cover of the mountain breeze, the three of them walked forward, crouching down. A fox's face first appeared in the bushes. Then three faces appeared beside it. There were still a lot of bamboo grass in front of him, which ensured that he would not be easily seen. At the same time, he could look forward through the gaps in the bamboo grass. There was a very narrow ditch at the top of the waterfall, which was the source of the small waterfall. The rest was open space. The open space was also connected to the mountain where they were standing, but there was a steep slope of two meters high. At this time, they were in a high position and could easily see a monster standing there. He was a sorcerer wearing green clothes, carrying a tortoise shell on his back and leaning on a wooden staff. He was short and thin, with a hunched back, very old, and his hair and beard were all white. Beside him stood ten "heavenly soldiers and generals", each of them looking very majestic and intimidating. Lin Jue looked further downward. The small waterfall stirred up mist, blocking the view, but one could clearly see the densely packed crowd below, as well as the wooden platform with five or six figures sitting on it. Not only were there continuous firecrackers, clouds of incense, countless candles lit, but there were also people playing music, temple priests presiding, and even people who looked like local officials coming on stage to give speeches and burn incense first. Then countless people knelt down and worshiped the wooden platform, calling out the name of the immortal and constantly praying for blessings. Amidst the chaos, the power of incense and prayers rose. Lin Jue glanced and saw that his junior sister was also staring down, so he turned his head and looked up at the waterfall. The turtle demon sorcerer was stretching his body, seeming to be enjoying it. After a while, he held the wooden staff and began to chant a spell. This spell is very long. It is even longer than the spell of forbidden curse, which can give mortals the power to exorcise evil spirits, eliminate demons and cure diseases. Then the water mist below began to flow and vaguely turned into a tornado. There seemed to be a tornado. The wooden platform was right in the center of the wind.

There was an uproar when they descended to the earth, and everyone was very excited. The turtle sorcerer kept chanting spells, and the wind became stronger and stronger, until it became so strong that Lin Jue and the other two who were far away could feel the howling gale. Looking down again, the flowing mist made the vision even more blurred, and a few black spots could be vaguely seen rising in the wind above the wooden platform. “Ascend to heaven!” "The Immortal has appeared again! May the Immortal bless us!" "I've become an immortal!" “He really became an immortal!” A voice came faintly from below. Some of those who ascended to heaven were extremely happy, while others seemed to have already known their fate but were powerless to resist and could only cry sadly. The junior sister has already grasped the hilt of the sword. Luo Seng also slowly drew out his long sword and left the scabbard in place. As the black dots just left the ground—— "on!" Although Lin Jue said so, he did not stand up. Instead, he took out a handful of beans, waved his sleeves to call for a gust of wind, and scattered the beans. The beans then flew forward with the wind. Twelve flying swords emerged from the wind one after another. (End of this chapter)
