[Liao Zhai] Lanruo Temple

The spring rain is like crisp, from south to north, gradually a little green spreads on the earth.The qi of growing hair wakes up along with the spring thunder, and following closely, it is full of vitality.

Sophorae is also a wood genus, which is particularly sensitive to Qi mechanism.The spring rain came as promised, not only the movement of the heavens and the earth, but also the help of the gods.The Cangling Dragon King committed a lot of crimes, interfering with the movement of wind and water in the world, causing calamity with disasters, and even harming dragon species and a water god.After the death of the Cangling Dragon King, the gods of the waters tried their best to resolve the cold calamity, but their divine power could not resist the heaven and the earth.In order to make up for the mistakes of the Cangling Dragon King, the next ten years are bound to be smooth.

Huai Xu and Dachun Zhenren, Miaodi Zen Master, Maoshan Zhang Daoren, Fang Miao Zhenren, and Kuangjian Yu Xin cross the Yangtze River north.Jing Zhe carried six people in the water, and the fish and beasts in the water fled in fright. Huai Xu slapped him on the forehead, and he was so wronged that he yelled "Jiang-Jiang--".Naturally, it is impossible to be unaware of such a movement. On the way, the river naturally parted, revealing a treasure chariot, on which sat a water god with the head of a dragon and a human body.

Seeing Huai Xu, the Dragon God stepped down from his chariot, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the great master, I've seen you all."

Huai Xu returned the salute and said, "Why is the Dragon Lord of the Yangtze River here?"

Changjiang Longjun said: "Grandmaster's trip is dangerous, so I have to come to see him off. Although I don't have the talent of the great master, but I also admire the heroic ambition of the great master and you, so I came to clear the way for the great master."

The maid behind Changjiang Longjun brought several cups of jade liquid, Changjiang Longjun said: "I dare not serve wine for you, let's replace it with jade liquid, everyone please."

Huai Xu was also a little excited, he laughed and said: "I intend to leave quietly, but I don't want to be blocked by Lord Long."

When the immortals drank the jade liquid, they couldn't hold themselves in their hearts.The jade chariot of the Dragon Lord of the Yangtze River opened the way, and the journey went smoothly until it was not far from the Northland.

Lord Long of the Yangtze River said: "Everyone, I can't move forward. If you all come back from the north, as long as you step into the river, you will be protected by the water god."

A golden word must come true.

The immortals bid farewell to the Dragon Lord of the Yangtze River and headed north.Huai Xu stood on top of Jing Zhe's head, looked back, and saw Changjiang Longjun still standing on the jade chariot, watching them leave.He turned his eyes and looked at another attendant behind Longjun Jiang.

The closer to the shore, the heavier the fog.This layer of thick fog separated the Northland and the Yangtze River, and also separated the sight of Huai Xu and the attendant.

Changjiang Longjun said: "Mr. Heishan, he has already left."

The attendant wiped his face with his hand, revealing Bai Xianzhi's face.He replied: "He found me."

Bai Xianzhi sighed, and said: "He must have discovered who I am when he saw me, but he never revealed it."

The Dragon Lord of the Yangtze River patted the jade chariot, and the jade chariot sank into the water. The Dragon Lord said leisurely: "If you see it through, you don't say it. If you tell it, it's just a distraction. Lord Black Mountain, don't worry, the old dragon has lived for so long. Never lose sight of it, although King Lan Ruo is facing disasters, but the fortune is profound, and the road is still long."

Bai Xianzhi only said: "I accept your auspicious words." Then he collected his emotions and said: "Let's discuss the issue of deploying the Yangtze River."

On the other side of the mist, Huai Xu withdrew his gaze and looked at the north shore which was getting closer.Huai Xu cast the technique of heavenly clothing, a thin layer of light spread from his body, shining on everyone like moonlight, and then they disappeared in the mist.

When a group of people really walked into the Northland, they noticed a completely different change in the Northland.The biggest impact on them is the change of the law.The Northland is its own domain, and the laws of the Kingdom of God cause the aura here to lean more toward gods than immortals.Immortals use Taoism to control water, fire, wind and thunder. It takes one part of strength to cast spells in the southern land, but three parts of strength are needed here.Correspondingly, the divine powers displayed by the gods not only consume less energy, but are also more powerful through the law of moving the divine position.

Huai Xu looked at them with a heavy heart.This change occurred before the Kingdom of God in the North was fully stabilized. When the Kingdom of God was stabilized, they would be subject to more restrictions.Huai Xu took a deeper look, and understood that this was cutting off the immortal roots. As time goes by, there is no need to deliberately suppress it, and the immortal way will naturally decline.

Along the way, the ice and snow have not disappeared, and the vegetation has withered, as if spring has never come.

Dachun Zhenren said: "Although the gods of the North have moved south, the four seasons do not distinguish between the north and the south. When the sky and the earth are growing, why is the Dubei still cold and windy?"

The veteran Zhang Haozhen caught a wisp of wind and sniffed it, and said, "Something is coming."

The six people were vigilant, but after a while, they saw groups of wolves running past from the depths of the ice and snow.The six of them had already disappeared, so naturally they would not be noticed by the wolves.Watching the pack of wolves leave, Zhang Daoren suddenly reached out to grab the last wolf, and with a gentle pinch, crushed its throat bone and held it in front of him.

The old Taoist stretched out his hand to feel the wolf, and said repeatedly: "Weird, weird."

The real Fang Miao asked, "What's so weird?"

Zhang Laodao chuckled, sucked at the wolf, sucked out all the blood in it, and formed a red bead the size of a fingernail.Holding the red bead, he said, "Ordinary wolves don't have such a strong blood in their bodies, and they still have a little bit of supernatural power."

"To have such a strong blood, and to be able to master a little supernatural power, you should have opened your spiritual wisdom long ago. How can you still live like a beast?" The real Fang Miao frowned, and pointed at the wolf's head, but nothing happened. "The soul dissipated?"

Huai Xu produced red beads, and his mana penetrated in like thousands of silk threads, peeling off the red beads, and finally only a little fluorescent light remained.

"The soul is not dissipated, but has fallen into the kingdom of the underworld." Huai Xu said, and put the fluorescent light in his hand in front of everyone, saying: "It's really scary, how long has it been, even ordinary wolves are born with a little divine power gone."

Zen Master Miaodi stretched out his hand and said, "The power to control Bingshuang?"

Yu Xin held on to the hilt of the sword, looked around, and when he heard the words, he also stretched out his head to take a look, and said, "What's the use of this bit of divine power?"

Master Dachun recalled the pack of wolves that passed by, "One wolf can only exhale cold air, but dozens of wolves can spit ice knives and frost swords."

"Divine powers appeared in the bodies of the wolves in the Northland. What about other animals? What about humans? What about demon spirits? How did these divine powers come into being, and where would they go?" Zen Master Miaodi asked.

In fact, there is no need to answer this, and everyone shudders in their hearts.If so, wouldn't the whole world be like a sheepfold?

Huai Xu made a decision and said, "Follow the pack of wolves, these wolves will not pass by here for no reason."

The group followed the pack of wolves and ran all the way until they arrived at a city. Many packs of wolves had gathered in front of this city, far more than the dozens they were following.

The wolves surrounded the city, howling one after another.The people guarding the city wall were fighting with each other, their faces ashen.

Huai Xu and the others passed through the pack of wolves and entered the city.There are ten rooms and nine empty rooms in the city, and almost everyone has gone to the county government office—it is said to be a county government office, but it is more like a shrine. A huge altar stands in front of the county government office, and the county master stands in front of the altar to give an emotional speech.

"Everyone, the snow wolf is besieging the city. We can't get out, we can't ask for help, so we can only die in the city. There is not much rice and grain left in the city, and we can't last long. The county called everyone to find a way to survive. Difficulty."

The townspeople surrounding the altar were restrained by the yamen servants and stood in a circle.Most of them are pale and skinny.Listening to the county magistrate's words, a hint of despair appeared on his face.

"My lord! What shall we do?"

Accompanied by howling wolves one after another, the voices of these poor people were desperate and weak.

A fanatical look appeared on the county magistrate's face, and he said, "There is only one way! Sacrifice to the gods!"

"Sacrificing to the gods?" a question came from the crowd.

"Yes! Worship to the gods!" The magistrate shook his voice: "These snow wolves can swallow snow and ice, and they are pets raised by the god of winter. The sting of insects has passed, and spring should come! We want to sacrifice to the god of spring, only if the god of spring is awakened, We can farm and live, only by awakening the God of Spring, these snow wolves will hide in the ice and snow, only by awakening the God of Spring, can we live!"

"Not only do we have to sacrifice to the god of spring, we also have to sacrifice to the god of winter, praying to the god of winter to let us live, and praying to the god of winter to sleep peacefully!"

The county magistrate's face was full of fanaticism and passion, and his emotions infected other people. After a short silence, the crowd became restless.

"Sacrifice to the gods!" "Sacrifice to the gods!"

The county magistrate gloriously led them to lift out the statues of the gods of winter and spring, and in a very short time summoned those who were good at singing and dancing to prepare the ceremony of entertaining the gods.

Two beautiful girls put on masks and acted as the god of winter and the god of spring. Everyone presented them with delicious food, wine, singing and dancing, and sincere hearts, representing the girl of winter god. When the girl was drunk, everyone put on a quilt for her and waited She falls into deep sleep, heralding the departure of winter.The girl representing the god of spring accepts the sacrifices of the crowd and sings and dances with the crowd, heralding the arrival of spring.

Everyone knelt down in front of the statue and prayed silently, wishing that the stars would be scattered like fireflies flying all over the city.

Huai Xu and they watched the scene in front of them, watching the gods of winter and spring perform miracles, the snow wolves gradually retreated into the ice and snow, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, the sun set, and the cold wind gradually warmed up.

This is undoubtedly a miracle.

A look of ecstasy appeared on the county magistrate's face, and he shouted: "Thank you Winter God! Thank you Spring God!"

The faces of the people also became confused, shouting the name of God, cheering and jumping for joy, for the sake of winter and spring, for their lives, and for God.

Huai Xu, Da Chun and the others left the city, noticing that the severe winter that had engulfed the city for more than ten miles had receded, but the winter that was deeper and farther away still did not leave.

Without saying a word, they followed the pack of wolves through the cold wind, and they saw exactly the same method in the next city.

Their hearts sank, and they could hardly speak. A terrible future had already opened before their eyes. They were both shocked, but the anger deep in their hearts made their fighting spirit unprecedentedly high.
