Chapter 354

Brocade Flower King? Wang Mu of the West?

It truly placed two choices in front of him.

That "Jun Niangniang Yao Hua" is really powerful.

But how to choose?

If it is about interests, eliminating either side can get a thousand taels of gold from the imperial court, which can be considered as gathering another material for the Golden Core. However, with his current abilities, unless a True Lord in heaven is willing to lead troops to wipe out the Wang Mu of the West, it is almost impossible to eliminate the Wang Mu of the West.

The Leopard King has the North Leopard Spring, but the North Leopard Spring neither dries up nor runs away. If others eliminate the Leopard King, he can also go to take the North Leopard Spring. Plus, the North Leopard Spring is not precious, so this doesn't matter.

The Wang Mu of the West has the Earth Spirit Pill.

This is the precious one.

In addition, there is the method of longevity.

Not to say whether he can use it, if any senior brother slacks off in cultivation in the future and the cultivation is not enough, and the growth of cultivation does not keep up with his own aging, perhaps a few years of lifespan is the difference between life and death.

It seems the benefits of the Wang Mu of the West are greater.

If it is about danger or not, it is difficult to measure.

The cultivation of the Wang Mu of the West seems to be higher than that of the Leopard King, but this Wang Mu of the West rarely harms people. This time she issued "Longevity Orders", recruited talents, and recruited soldiers and horses. If he just wants to see if her longevity method is true or false, and what the principle is, he doesn't have to fight her to the death. He can completely take the "Longevity Order" and leave.

But the Leopard King harms countless people and is truly fierce. If he goes to the northwest and enters the Leopard King's lair, the two sides will definitely have to decide the winner and life and death.

But if it is about harm...

The harm of the Leopard King is to the common people of the world, while the harm of the Wang Mu of the West is to the rule of the imperial court and the Nine Heavens Orthodox Gods.

Speaking of this point, it is not difficult to choose.

Just thinking of the sentence "Intentions distinguish fortune and misfortune, choices determine safety and danger" said by "Jun Niangniang Yao Hua", it is obvious that one of them is more dangerous, and Lin Jue has to be solemn again.

Thinking about it, he still shook his head, throwing away the distracting thoughts.

If he can't think of it even with this sentence, why not just pretend this sentence doesn't exist? People who cultivate the Dao should be carefree and act according to their hearts. Why be timid and tied up because of one sentence?

"Where are Friend Wan, Lord Pan, Friend Tao, and Friend Lei?" Lin Jue's heart settled down and asked again, "Where are Master Nan and Master Yun Chan, and the Daoists of Yushan?"

"Master Nan and Master Yun Chan, and the strange people and high scholars of the Ju Xian Fu who were already dealing with the Leopard King in the northwest, have already gone to the northwest."

Master Fan paused:

"Friend Wan, Friend Tao, and Lord Pan and Lord Lei are still staying in the capital waiting for Daoist Friend Lin to make a decision. They said that if Daoist Friend Lin wants to go to the northwest, they will follow to eliminate the Leopard King. If Daoist Friend Lin wants to go to the northeast, they will also follow to see what the Wang Mu of the West, who can make people attain longevity, is like. Not only them, but also some strange people in the capital, and even some bold ones, all said they want to follow Immortal Lin to eliminate demons."

"Those people?"

Lin Jue knew these people.

Most of these people are strange people and scholars with some magical abilities, barely considered the Spiritual Method Sect, because Master Nan and the rumored Master Fan both rely on inviting gods to eliminate demons, barely considered the Talisman Sect, so some strange people and scholars are unwilling to follow Master Nan because of this, and some are because they are timid and afraid of death. And when he went to Jinping County to eliminate demons, they were watching. After he returned from eliminating demons, he already had quite a reputation among these people. After fighting with the Great Foot Master at the end of last year, those who want to use him to seek fame and profit, like the people surnamed Lei, should be more and more.

Don't be afraid of them for fame and profit. As long as it is a legitimate means, there is no need to blame. As long as it is truly for the benefit of the people, it is worth affirming.

So Lin Jue asked again: "Where are the Daoists of Yushan?"

"It is said that they brought the ancestral magic weapon of the temple and went to the northeast direction to find that Wang Mu of the West."

"Ancestral magic weapon..."

Lin Jue remembered the mirror hanging in the Mountain-Moving Hall of his own Fuqiu Temple, which had also been passed down for many years. If he wanted to fight the Wang Mu of the West, he should be able to borrow it from the eldest senior brother.

"Has Daoist Third Shixiong decided where to go?"

"Naturally, I will go to the northwest!"

"This poor Daoist guessed it would be like this."

"Friend Fan, please stay in the capital. If there is any change or news, you can find a way to notify me," Lin Jue said, specifically exhorting him, "Friend, you must be calm. This time, don't be like last time, leaving the capital after being provoked by someone when drunk, and going to find the Demon King."

"This poor Daoist knows..."

Master Fan nodded, sighing again, his expression a bit weak.

Lin Jue bowed to him and walked out.

Returning to his courtyard, Lord Luo had already led his tall horse out. A simple luggage was placed on the horse's back, the silver spear was polished brightly, the spear head was put on, and it was hung on the saddle.

"Have you decided where to go?" Luo Seng turned his head to look at him, his expression peaceful, his tone steady. "There are several hundred li to Leopard Forest and Yunmeng County. You walk fast. If you have already decided, I will go call those strange people and scholars to go first. You just came back, you can rest for a while, eat something, and then come to catch up with us."

"For now, I want to go find that Leopard King first."

"Hmm..."

Luo Seng glanced at him, didn't ask much, just nodded and said: "The Leopard King is in the northwest, and the Wang Mu of the West is in the northeast. Both have to go to Qinglian County in the north first, and then divide into west and east. Before this, they are all on the same road. If you change your mind, just catch up with us on the road."

"Good!"

"Go first!"

After Luo Seng finished speaking, he led the horse out of the door.

It seems that in his heart, there is no calculation, and nothing to be afraid of. Whether it is victory or defeat, the worst is just death.

Lin Jue watched him leave.

It is indeed as Lord Luo said—

He had been rushing to the capital from early morning until now, and was already a bit tired. He hadn't even eaten, so he should indeed rest for a while. And at their speed, let alone Lord Luo who had just left, he could still catch up with Daoist Jiang and Master Nan's group who had left at noon.

Lin Jue pondered while pouring pills from a small bottle to feed Friend Bai Lu, took Fuyao to eat something, and even let it go to Mount Fengshan outside the city to call two stone horses.

The daylight was getting darker and darker.

The Daoist rode the white egret and flew in the clouds. On the mountain road below, the stone horses ran like the wind.

He originally wanted to catch up with Lord Luo's group before nightfall, but he didn't expect that the weather in the capital was still good, but going north, there were dark clouds spreading for hundreds of li, and it was raining heavily.

It was inconvenient for Friend Bai Lu to fly in the rain, and night was approaching, so Lin Jue had to land first, find a temple in a village, and enter to temporarily shelter from the rain.

Turning back into his original body, he looked around.

It was just a village temple, worshiping some statues in a messy way, with no one to take care of it, but it was clean and quiet.

There were traces of fire in the middle of the temple, and some dry wood was placed by the wall.

The fox carrying the bag jumped in.

Seeing it turn its body sideways, pulling its legs out one by one from the straps of the backpack, it unloaded the backpack, then shook its body vigorously, shaking off a mist of water, and its body immediately returned to dryness.

"Lord Luo! In front!"

The fox turned its head and said to Lin Jue.

"I know. They should also be sheltering from the rain," Lin Jue said. "No need to worry, this rain will stop tomorrow. We will catch up with them during the day tomorrow."

Looking at it one by one/p>

"Ying~~"

The fox shook its head, blew at the ground, blew away the dust, and lay down on the spot.

A night watch lamp lit up.

Lin Jue sat cross-legged on the ground and pondered in his heart.

He had obtained the Great Yin-Yang Law and cultivated for a year, half of which was on Mount Yishan. His cultivation and spells had made great progress. However, the Leopard King could fight to a draw under the siege of the Heavenly Fire Divine General and many strange people and high scholars, which obviously showed it was not an ordinary person. Especially after it was defeated, as long as it retreated to its lair, the Heavenly Fire Divine General would immediately stop chasing. This also showed that after so many years of operation, its lair was already a place sufficient to make the Divine General cautious.

Is this the danger that "Jun Niangniang Yao Hua" mentioned?

The sound of rain outside was endless.

It got dark early on a rainy day. In the blink of an eye, the daylight outside could no longer be seen. Only the rumbling sound of horse hooves could be heard, the earth was trembling, and it stopped at the door of this village temple.

Lin Jue knew it was the two stone horses.

At this time, they should already be standing at the door of the village temple.

I don't know if it was a habit formed before they attained the Dao and became spirits, but no matter where these two stone horses walked, they loved to find a door or an intersection to stand, and they had to stand level.

"Just hope it didn't scare the villagers."

"Just hope it didn't scare the villagers!"

Lin Jue said in a low voice, and the fox imitated him out of boredom.

Just at this moment, a voice was heard at the door:

"Where did the two stone horses come from?"

Lin Jue and the fox both looked over and saw a human figure walking out of the ceremonial gate of the village temple, wearing black clothes, looking at the outside strangely, and also looking at the person and fox in the temple strangely.

The person and fox looked at each other.

There must be people in the village, but neither Lin Jue nor the fox noticed when this person came in, as if he had always been there. Immediately, his heart knew that this person was probably not a human, but some kind of spirit or ghost.

"I brought them."

Lin Jue answered, looking at him carefully.

Seeing his body was solid, unlike a little ghost, and had no evil or evil energy, he didn't know what it was.

"Who are you? Where do you come from? Where are you going?"

"My surname is Lin, given name Jue, a person who cultivates the Dao. I came from the capital and am going to the northwest," Lin Jue replied. "Because it is raining, I came to this temple to shelter from the rain. I don't know that there are others in this temple."

"A Daoist from the capital? Going to the northwest?" The man smiled. "This afternoon, there was also a group of Daoists who also came from the capital, also went to the northwest, and also sheltered from the rain here for a while. It's truly a coincidence."

"Oh? Is this true?"

"You young Daoist! At my age, why would I lie to you for no reason?"

"Have those Daoists had any conversation with you?"

"No conversation, but I heard them say they seem to be Daoists from Qiyun Mountain. The pile of ashes in front of you is what they made when they were cold and wet in the afternoon and roasted fire."

"That's right!" Lin Jue was not afraid of him originally, but now that he heard this, he felt even less afraid. "Where are they now?"

"The rain stopped for a while in the afternoon, and they left in a hurry."

"So that's how it is."

"Do you know them?"

The man said while walking over.

Lin Jue extinguished the night watch lamp and lit it again. The lamp light reflected the man's face. He was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and nothing unusual.

"Of course I know them."

The rainy day was lonely, and they met by chance, so Lin Jue simply invited him to sit together.

This person was unusual, and perhaps he could get some information about the north that people didn't know from him.
