Goddess Wanhua Mirror

027. Goddess Appearance

Down the hillside, the bandits rallied and prepared to fight again.In order to guard against the terrible "magic weapons" in the hands of the villagers, these villains ran to the empty village, tore down dozens of doors to make simple tower shields, and then formed a shield array, slowly approaching the temple.

Looking at the bandits attacking again, the village chief Rom organized the villagers to set up another wooden cannon, aiming the muzzle at the "turtle shells" of the bandits.

But before the bandits got into the shabby range of the wooden cannon, their tortoise shells showed a little gap, and they launched a long-range attack first.

"It's a bow and arrow! Everyone be careful."

Hearing the sound of the bowstring twitching in the dark night, the old Rom, who had been a soldier, suddenly changed his expression and reminded the villagers around him to avoid it.It had been raining before, and the visibility was too low at night, so neither the archers from the bandit side nor the hunters from the village had a chance to show off their housekeeping skills.

The sudden attack caught the villagers off guard. Even with old Rom's reminder, there were still a few who reacted slowly and were shot, falling to the ground and howling.

In an instant, the highly nervous villagers were in chaos. Ron, who was in charge of lighting the fire, trembled and released the cannon ahead of time.As a result, it was naturally because the range was not enough, and it was a noise in vain.

"You bastard! You're so early!"

"Father! I, I..."

"What are you talking about, get a new one!"

Under the urging of Rom, several villagers hurriedly replaced the launcher with a new barrel, but at this time the bandit's tortoise shell formation had already rushed up, and quickly destroyed the repelling horse in front of the door with an axe.

The thieves had already seen the secret weapon in the hands of the villagers in the previous empty cannon. However, these people are not fools, and it is impossible to watch them replace the barrel before launching the second shot, so they moved very quickly.

Seeing the leading bandit man rushing forward with a mountain axe, stepping on the stone bunker, he was about to jump in, while the other villagers were so pale that they were useless at all, Lao Luo Regardless of his advanced age, Mu grabbed a spear and stabbed the opponent bravely.

Although the old man is not young, one leg is still lame, but at least he served as a soldier in the king's army and received formal military training.He still remembers what the instructor said to the recruits during their training.

"Etiquette in war is the way knights fight. Those of us who are soldiers don't straighten our legs. I will teach you some practical things today!"

Thanks to this "pragmatic" instructor, the young Roma recruits trained for a month, and they learned all the "lower three-way play".Therefore, when he stabbed out with this spear, he hit the bandit's crotch impartially, and the whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, highlighting a "steady, precise and ruthless"!

As a result, the bandit who was still flaunting his power a second ago suddenly let out a mournful cry that did not resemble a human being, and rolled down like a rickety prawn clutching his bloody crotch.

Old Rom shook the blood-stained spear tip in his hand, and shouted loudly to the surrounding villagers.

"If you don't want to die, fight them, stab them X!!!"

At this moment, the skinny old man looked very tall and mighty in the eyes of the villagers, while the bandits who were about to charge up, their crotch trembled because of the deafening "stab them x", subconsciously took half a step back.

Although these scumbags are all desperadoes and have the strength to fight for their lives, they are really hesitant to hang themselves!

But hesitation is hesitation, after all, old Luo Mu is not Zhang Fei, he was able to scare Cao's army of millions of bandits away with a loud shout, and the bandits still broke through the gate of the courtyard wall.

Seeing the chaotic battle between the two sides, the villagers were obviously defeated by the bandits. At this critical moment, the main entrance of the temple suddenly opened, emitting a burst of strong white light.

The bandits who were rushing in were blinded by the sudden strong light. After they finally got used to it, they found a figure with fluttering beard and hair coming out of the light.The villagers were surprised to find that this person was the priest Lude who had been missing before, but the old man took off his dirty linen robe and changed into a snow-white silk robe. The temperament suddenly became fierce.

Seeing this, the bandits didn't know who the old man was, but just looking at his aura, he looked like a "master", so they stopped and dared not go forward.

At this time, a bandit archer who had already opened his bow accidentally slipped his hand and shot an arrow at Lude, but the arrow hit a transparent wall two meters away from him. , with only slight ripples.

Lu De smiled and looked around, then took a step forward and walked forward slowly, but it was this seemingly ordinary and simple movement that scared the bandits back again and again, and soon they all retreated outside the gate.

At this time, Zach and others who were standing on the hillside also noticed the abnormality on the side of the temple. Buddy recognized Lude with his sharp eyes, pointed at the old man with "stage lighting effects", and said to Zach .

"Father, look! It's Priest Lude!"

"Is he Lude?"

On the hillside, Lude was dressed in white, facing hundreds of vicious bandits holding sharp knives, he was calm and calm, although he didn't see any movements or speak, but he gave the bandits great support. mental stress.

Seeing this situation, Zach was also whispering in his heart.He first heard from Buddy that there was a temple and priests in the village, and he belonged to a small sect called "The God of Medicine". I have never heard of it, and it must not be a big sect that can stand on the stage. I just don't touch it when I rob the village.

As a result, looking at it now, I am afraid that this place is not a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. There is a great master who is practicing in seclusion here. He made an intelligence error and stabbed a hornet's nest!

At this time, the old priest on the hillside suddenly moved. He raised the priest's scepter in his hand, and a white light suddenly appeared on his body, like a small sun, which made people unable to look directly at it.Immediately afterwards, the old man thrust the scepter forcefully into the place, and roared in a voice that extraordinary people could reach.

"I bloom in the midst of killing, like a flower in the dawn! YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

Accompanied by a burst of incantations that the bandits could not understand (the first half of the Chinese sentence and the second half of the English sentence), a beam of light rose into the sky from the scepter in Lude's hand, shaped like a [-]-meter sword that pierced into the sky.

In this dazzling light, many villagers and bandits present were surprised to see that another ray of light fell from the clouds to the roof of the temple, and a beautiful goddess with six pairs of white wings appeared from the light. He is condescendingly staring down at all living beings below.

Witnessing this unbelievable scene, Zach had no other thoughts left in his mind at this time. He turned his head and jumped on the horse, shouting urgently at Buddy who was still stunned.

"Run! Silly boy!"

End of this chapter

The huge lightsaber soaring into the sky frightened the bandits. Some of them fled while scrambling and running, while others crawled on the ground, begging the gods for mercy with tears in their eyes.

But the seemingly radiant and powerful giant sword did not fall, but slowly shrunk, and was finally taken back by Lude, and the goddess who was originally standing on the roof of the temple also disappeared with the beam of light .The old man flicked his sleeves lightly, pulled up his scepter, turned his head and walked back to the temple, ignoring the bandits who fled with their tails between their legs.

In the courtyard of the temple, when a group of villagers saw Lu De come back, they prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed to him.Lude looked at the crowd and said calmly.

"Folks, get up."

"Master Priest, you, you just now..."

"Breaking the precept, I promised the goddess to complete the trial given by her, and not to use any magic spells for three years, and now the three years have not yet come... I can only say that it is good fortune to trick people!"

Lude said with a long sigh, with a disappointed expression on his face.

Seeing this, the villagers immediately felt a little ashamed, thankful but also a little sorry, after all, the priest failed to complete the goddess's trial to save them, breaking the precept and using magic.

Fortunately, Lu De's disappointment only lasted for a while, and then he returned to his usual approachable smile. He came to the two villagers who had been captured by bandits before, and said kindly.

"Son, let me see the wounds on your hands."

"Sir, we..."

"Anyway, I've already broken the precept today, so why not break it a few more times and indulge yourself a bit, what do you think?"

"This……"

At Lude's insistence, the two villagers raised their fingerless palms to show to Lude. They didn't see Lude chanting any spells, so they waved their hands casually, and a white light flashed. New fingers grew out of the wound at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The ones that have just grown up may not be used to it yet, so be more active."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Looking at their lost fingers, the two villagers wept with joy, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu De.

Lude turned his head and looked at the other people around him. Most of the villagers who participated in the defensive battle were defeated. Even the old village head Rom was unwilling to use the "children and grandchildren gun" because of the shocking move. Shen flashed his old waist, and now he had to rely on his two sons to support him to barely stand firm.

So Lu De waved his hand again for a burst of golden light, and all the people present recovered in an instant.

"Thank you, sir." xN

"Thank the goddess, after all, this is the power He gave me."

A wonderful sermon, Lu De won everyone's heartfelt convincing.At this moment, he seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and walked towards the temple again.

The old Rom, whose waist no longer hurts, hurriedly got up from the ground, and asked his son to lead someone to keep an eye on the gate, in case the bandits might go and come back, while he kept up with Lude in a low voice. The eyebrows are very respectful.

In the hall of the temple, the old and weak women and children watched the priest go back to the house to change into clean clothes, and then went out to scare off the bandits single-handedly. Therefore, when they saw Lu De return to the hall, they all knelt on the ground in unison.

Lude went straight through the hall, came to the back room of the temple, and found Bank's daughter Nina.Because the little girl was suspected of being a former refugee and coughed all the time, she was rejected by many villagers. Lu De could only arrange her and her two elder brothers to stay in a single room, and asked Aina to come and take care of her often. .

Because the little guys didn't know what happened outside just now, they were all at a loss when they saw Lude coming.Bank, who came with Lude, vaguely guessed something, and felt a little apprehensive in addition to being excited.

"If it's this adult, maybe my daughter's illness..."

"Bank, I once promised you that you helped the villagers tide over the difficulties. I owe you a favor. I will treat your daughter after I finish the trial. Although I failed to complete the trial, the promise can be fulfilled in advance. "

"Master Priest..."

Lude raised his palm, and a holy white light gathered in his palm.Bank found that Lude's magic was completely unlike the priests he had seen in Irwin. He had to read scriptures praising his own gods aloud, and raised his hands in exaggerated gestures, and then a holy light came down. on his wife.

Compared with these low-level priests, Lude did not recite any mantras when using divine arts, and he could do them easily.

Old Rom was amazed at the number of magic spells Lude used in just ten minutes, from the initial defense spell, to the later Holy Light Great Sword, and then to the healing spells one after another.Old Roma had some understanding of the sect's hierarchical system, so the shock in his heart can be imagined.

"Bishop? No! This must be at least at the level of an archbishop! My God! There is such a big man living in the village, and he even helped me with cupping!"

Under everyone's gaze, Lude slowly pressed his hand to Nina's chest, but just as he was about to touch it, the old man stopped suddenly.

Bank was so frightened by this blow that he almost knelt down with a shiver.

Fortunately, Lude just paused for a moment, making Nina, who looked confused, turn around on the spot, and then put his big hand on her back.

With the help of the extraordinary power brought by the divine art, Luther saw the internal organs of his little daughter directly through the clothes and skin.He took a closer look at the condition of his lungs, and couldn't help showing a relaxed smile on his face.

"Fortunately, it's not the worst case. It should be cured."

Under the restoration and nourishment of the divine arts, Nina soon felt that her chest suddenly became much lighter, and her breathing was no longer as heavy as before.On the other hand, Bank was a little surprised to find that the light of Lude's magical technique only affected a small area of ​​his daughter's chest and lungs, unlike his wife back then, who had golden light all over her body every time she was treated.

Soon, Lude withdrew his palm, and Bank didn't know if he succeeded, so he asked in a nervous tone.

"My lord, is my daughter?"

"It should be fine, but the child is still young, you'd better give her more nutrition."

After receiving Lude's affirmative reply, the man who was like a piece of wood when he first came to the village couldn't help but burst into tears, squatting on the ground emotionally and crying loudly.Nina didn't understand why her father suddenly cried like a baby, so she walked up to him, stretched out her little hand and gently touched her father's head.

"Dad, don't cry!"

Looking at the father and daughter who were embracing each other and crying, and the spots of faith reappearing on Bank's body, Lu De had a gratified smile on his face, and he suddenly realized that he was indeed a magic stick. significance!

End of this chapter

After Nina's old illness was cured, Lu De asked everyone to go out first, saying that he hadn't closed his eyes all day and needed to rest.

After everyone left, nun Aina sneaked in from the door mysteriously. Seeing that Lude was spreading the quilt, she took off her shoes and slipped in without saying a word, like a bird that just came back from the cold. s cat.

All right!She had indeed just returned from being frozen outside.

"Master! It's cold on the roof!"

"Isn't this to scare away those bandits! And look, how firm the villagers' belief in us is now."

"But you can't use all the beliefs you have collected so hard in one go, right? I feel like you're draining me!"

Aina, who was curled up under the blanket, pouted. Because of the intense sleepless prayers of the whole village, Aina had gained a lot of very pious and high-quality beliefs in a short period of time, and finally possessed the ability to use divine arts.

After Lu De learned of this, he immediately had a great plan to defeat the enemy, and decided to perform a "Goddess Comes to Me" together with Aina.

Lude went back to the room first, and took out the best outfit left by the old astrologer to put on, and COS white robe Gandalf on the spot.Then she asked Aina to put on her goddess' love...sacred garment, and secretly climbed up the ladder from the backyard to the roof, waiting for a signal from his side, and then stood up and put on a pose.

Afterwards, it proved that the performance was very successful. The miracle made the bandits flee, and the villagers bowed down.And Lude also took advantage of the time when Aina completely handed over the right to use the divine power to himself, and spent a lot of magic addiction. The price was that Aina was drained again, and there was really not a drop left.

The bandits retreated and fled, and the villagers of Songshu Village stayed in the temple until dawn before returning to the village.They had a thrilling night, but they were able to see a real miracle because of this, and they left memories that would last forever.

Thanks to the discovery of the traitor in advance and the careful preparations made afterwards, although the village was hit by a thief this time, the loss was not great. Only some houses were slightly damaged. Not only was everyone safe, but even a grain of food None lost.On the way back to the village, the villagers even caught several wounded bandits who were ruthlessly abandoned by their companions.

The village Roma immediately ordered people to arrest these unlucky bastards who had completely given up resistance, and planned to exchange them for rewards to make up for the loss of the village.

Three days later, Pine Tree Village finally waited for reinforcements that arrived long overdue. It wasn't the guards from the nearby towns, but the sect knights who came here from the earldom's capital. The speed was actually not too slow.

The first wave of people to arrive was the Sun Knights of the Holy Cult of Light, with a team of thirty riders.Although the number is not very large, they are well-equipped and well-trained. Each knight is equipped with three horses, specially prepared for long-distance raids.

After the knight team arrived, they found that Songshu Village was safe and sound. They almost thought that the villagers reported a false alarm, but after asking, they found out that the bandits had already escaped.

Entrusted by Lude, the village did not tell the truth, and told these Sun Knights who came from afar about his brave performance that night.Lude's explanation for this was that he didn't want to reveal his identity and be disturbed by others. The goddess had given him a second chance to try in a dream last night, and he would stay in Pine Tree Village for the next three years.

Ever since, the village chief, who also wanted to keep Lude, hit it off immediately, told the villagers from door to door, made confessions in advance, and secretly "dealt" the captured bandits, anyway. All you need to claim a bounty is a head that can see a face clearly.

In the modified version of the story, the bandits were repelled by more than 400 men, women and children in Songshu Village.Because everyone discovered the bandit's traitor in the village in advance, they got the news in advance and had enough time to prepare. They dug many traps in the village and pitted the bandit hard.

Because the robbers didn't know the details of the village, they thought they were ambushed by officers and soldiers, so they fled northward in a panic, and the village was spared.

As for Lude's role in this process, he was not completely hidden from the gods, but only mentioned that he helped take care of the wounded.

The Sun Knights didn't seem to have any problems when they heard it, and they did see that the village was full of pits and pits, as well as the heads of a few bandits and some leftover weapons, so they believed him.

These Sun Knights only stayed in the village for less than half an hour. They spent money to buy some dry food and water from the village, and then they went on the road again, chasing the bandits in the direction the villagers pointed out.

During the stay of the Bright Knights, Lude has been hiding in the temple and watching from afar. He must admit that although he has some problems with the Holy Cult behind these knights, it is difficult for these humble and polite people who are so hard-working to chase bandits What's wrong with religious warriors.

However, this sympathetic attitude soon became a little subtle with the arrival of the second reinforcements.

Less than half a day after the Sun Knight left, another group of knights came to the village, but this time it was the guards armed under the God of War—the Knights of War Madness.

There were a lot of people here, more than 100, but their quality was obviously not as high as that of the previous Sun Knights, and even the armor system was not uniform.A few of them with particularly gorgeous armor were obviously of noble origin, surrounded by a lot of entourage, and their posture was the same as those who came out for a wild tour.

This group of people stayed in the village for two days at a time, and they caused a lot of harm to the villagers, and made a lot of trouble.But helplessly, the other party's status was noble, and the villagers dared not speak out, so they could only endure it silently in their hearts.

During the period, a few guys noticed the temple on the side of Tupo, and ran over to have a look, but Lude directly stopped at the gate, refusing to let them step into his temple on the grounds that there were ascetic monks in the courtyard who were retreating and enlightening the gods. The temple is half a step away.
