Chapter 370
Lin Jue was silent for a moment, but still replied to the divine being above: "Lin Jue of Mount Yishan, here to eliminate demons."
Daoist Jiang pursed her lips and followed:
"True Zhen Jian Gong is here to eliminate demons!"
"I will not change my name or surname, Nan Songlin it is! Two divine generals, where did that demon run to?"
"Amitabha..."
"..."
Only hearing thunder coming from the sky again:
"You have made contributions in catching demons, and we will definitely have rewards! This leopard demon has done many evils, and the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun has long named it for capture. We will take it back to the heavens and punish it severely according to the heavenly laws!"
The crowd below heard this and couldn't help but look at each other again.
Lin Jue's heart sank, secretly saying "as expected."
These two divine generals want to take this demon away!
Even though two divine generals and thousands of celestial soldiers came, the enemy is strong and we are weak, but where in this world is there such an easy thing?
However, just as he was brewing how to speak, Master Nan behind him couldn't take it anymore, raised the big hammer in his hand, and angrily raised his eyebrows:
"Are you the 'General Evil Bandit' and 'General Angry Thief' under the command of the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Protecting the Saint?"
"Exactly!"
"This demon is full of evil and has harmed countless people. If you really want to punish it severely, why not kill it on the spot?"
"Killing should naturally be killed!" The divine general said angrily, "Don't you know that the country has national laws and the heavens have heavenly laws? Can people full of evil in the world be killed at will without trial and review?"
"Absurd!"
Master Nan didn't buy his account, but stepped out, raised his hammer, and scolded the divine being:
"How many demons have died here? How many people have these demons harmed? At other times you don't talk about heavenly laws, but you talk about them at this time?
"We spent a lot of effort to eliminate this demon king, and how many righteous heroes were killed or injured before we beat it into serious injury! Before, we asked you to come and eliminate demons, but you refused to come no matter what. Now that the demon is about to die, and it called for the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun and divine generals to save its life before it died, do you think we didn't hear it? At this time, you gods jump out and take it away. Do you think we are fools?
"Could it be that you think you are gods, so you can act recklessly in the human world? Do you believe that I will go back and announce this matter to the world, let the commoners smash your temples? Let's see who will offer incense to you in the future!"
"Bold!"
The voice in the sky was like thunder, and the lingering sound trembled and circled.
The General Angry Thief on the left stared at the bottom.
"What is bold? I have walked straight and done right since I was a child, and I have never done anything against my conscience in my life, only doing what should be done, even when I was ignorant in my childhood! Is this also called bold? If you judge by this, I think you are bolder than me! More reckless!"
Master Nan was sonorous and powerful, righteous and stern. No matter his expression or tone, he didn't have the slightest fear in the face of the divine being:
"But if you say my courage is smaller than yours? Humph! Today I, Nan Songlin, together with many fellow Daoists and heroes behind me, if our courage were small, we wouldn't have come here to eliminate demons!"
The divine general in the sky couldn't help but be stunned.
That person below was the weakest and most powerless among the crowd, but he only felt a wave of righteous energy rushing towards him, and that righteous energy easily overwhelmed his divine power. So much so that the slight voice from bottom to top actually seemed to cover his rolling thunder from top to bottom.
This is nothing else! It is the truth between heaven and earth!
And no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't pick out a single black spot from that person's temperament.
"Nan Songlin..."
General Angry Thief couldn't help but whisper.
As divine generals, they naturally had heard of this person's name long ago, and had even been invited and called by him, and had been smashed by him because they didn't respond.
It was also known long ago that this person had a strong personality and loved to summon gods to eliminate demons in various places. Calling it summoning gods, "driving gods" was more appropriate. He was upright in his actions, had never done anything against his conscience in his life, which itself was extremely rare, and he hadn't even done anything against his conscience when he was ignorant in his childhood, which was even rarer, and he seemed like a natural good person. Therefore, even if the divine beings were angry with him, they couldn't find any reason to blame or attack him.
As the saying goes, having righteousness in one's heart, one is not afraid of gods, which is exactly this.
And most divine beings originally respected people with morality, and eliminating demons and punishing evil was also the duty of divine beings. Therefore, many divine beings would follow his wishes.
The reason he could frequently summon divine beings and eliminate demons repeatedly was actually relying on his upright energy and morality, and relying on his great courage to go specifically to places where demons were rampant. Therefore, divine beings responded to him, and therefore he would run into coincidences like Huizhou, and therefore his reputation grew larger.
General Angry Thief originally didn't take it seriously, until he faced this person today, did he feel that huge pressure.
And he had lived longer and seen more. At this moment, facing this person, he seemed to see the shadows of many people from before—those people who were like this person when they were alive, without exception, were all extraordinary.
The divine general was actually captured by him for a moment.
And even faintly wanted to retreat.
But he couldn't retreat.
When he came back to his senses, the crowd below had already been infected by Master Nan, nodding in agreement one after another, as if none of them were afraid of divine beings.
And it was indeed so—
The people who dared to come here to eliminate demons today, although their strength was strong or weak, and their methods were high or low, which one couldn't be called a hero?
There were even masters of the True Zhen Jian Gong among them.
General Angry Thief originally wanted to open his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing this scene, he closed his mouth and only looked to the side.
General Evil Bandit stepped forward.
General Angry Thief retreated.
"Everyone, you misunderstood!"
General Evil Bandit opened his mouth, his voice still like thunder, with a feeling of righteousness:
"Everyone dared to come here to eliminate demons for the sake of the commoners of the world. Humans and gods both respect you. How could I not admire you? But this matter is a long story—
"This leopard was originally the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Protecting the Saint, originally captured by this general and General Angry Thief from the north hundreds of years ago. Because its sins were deep, it was suppressed under the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Tower by the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun. Unexpectedly, more than a hundred years ago, this leopard actually took advantage of the guard's drunkenness and negligence, disguised itself as the spirit leopard under the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun's seat, and escaped to the human world, causing chaos for many years.
"Now the guard has been held accountable, and the matter has changed its flavor, reaching the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun. The Husheng Husheng Zhenjun ordered us to take it back. If we can't take it back, we are afraid we will be blamed!
"This leopard demon was sentenced to be imprisoned for three hundred years before, because although it did evil, it was not enough to die. Now it has committed such evil deeds, and its crime is unforgivable. We take it to the heavens, and it is also a dead end, and it is more likely to be sentenced to the extreme punishment of being cut into a thousand pieces and dying and living again. Why don't you give us a convenience and fulfill us?"
The voice shook the people below until they were almost deaf.
Such words, plus that righteous thunder sound, made a few people waver.
It's just that if you think about it carefully, where is such a thing?
Is it such a coincidence that there is a spirit leopard under the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun's seat? Is it such a coincidence that it disguised itself as the spirit leopard under the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun's seat? And is it such a coincidence that it called for the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun and divine generals to save it before it died, and the divine general really came?
And another voice rang in Lin Jue's ear.
"Fellow Daoist Lin..."
This voice was cold and plain, and also subtle. It seemed to be a sound transmission art, as if whispering in his ear: "The Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Protecting the Saint is watching from behind the clouds.
"This god has low divine power and limited abilities, but he only occupies the word 'righteousness' and is very protective of his shortcomings, and he doesn't care about reason when he is protective. Therefore, the celestial soldiers and divine generals under his command are all willing to go through fire and water for him, and are also willing to fight for his face. It is not advisable to have a direct conflict with them here today. It is better to leave this matter to my Yili Shenjun and the Emperor. Within three months in the human world, I will definitely make that leopard demon's soul fly away and scatter."
Lin Jue listened, his face unchanged.
Daoist Jiang made sense and was also very rational.
But how could he not know this?
In the Heavenly Lord Hall, the Dharma image of the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Protecting the Saint is the spirit leopard by his side and the divine eagle on his arm. Who is the backer of this leopard? How could he not guess?
No matter how "low divine power" and "limited ability" the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Protecting the Saint is, he is a Husheng Husheng Zhenjun, a god and immortal, and a martial general who is good at fighting among gods and immortals. Naturally, he is far from what he can contend with.
Not to mention the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Protecting the Saint, even these two divine generals and thousands of celestial soldiers are not what he can contend with in this Qin State land.
That day, the Heavenly Fire Divine General was unwilling to let him get involved, mostly because he had anticipated this moment and didn't want him to offend the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Protecting the Saint because of this. He didn't want to invite his junior sister, also because of this.
But didn't he insist on staying until now?
He wasn't afraid that day, so why be afraid today?
If he shrinks back today, how can he face his heart in the future?
Lin Jue saw the gaze cast by Master Nan.
!
This person had the same idea as him.
"..."
Lin Jue shook his head at him to express his intention.
Master Nan was better at this, and it was better for him to deal with it.
"Nonsense!"
But he heard Master Nan scold, still holding the hammer, facing the celestial soldiers and divine generals all over the sky.
Don't underestimate this hammer!
This is an ordinary hammer, without divine power, without strangeness, far inferior to the weapons in the hands of the heroes at the scene, and inferior to the magical instruments in the hands of the strange people and Daoists at the scene. It was bought by him from a craftsman for dozens of coins twenty years ago, but in the past twenty years, he had used it to smash I don't know how many divine statues.
"You gods, if you speak recklessly, what is the crime?"
"What is reckless talk?"
"How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Do you think we are three-year-old children to be fooled?"
Master Nan gritted his teeth and said:
"To eliminate this leopard demon, we don't know how many heroes and righteous people have died. How can they die in vain?
"Even if your Husheng Husheng Zhenjun is great, is he greater than the lives of so many commoners and righteous heroes who died here, died at the hands of this leopard demon? Is he greater than the truth of the righteous path in the world?
"I don't care what Husheng Husheng Zhenjun you are, I don't care what blame you have. If you don't give us an explanation today, and want to take the soul of this leopard demon away from here, don't blame me for spreading the news after I go back, and then let your Yili Shenjun and even the Heavenly Lord Emperor be unable to sit still! Don't blame me for smashing your Husheng Husheng Zhenjun's divine statue and tearing down your temples after I go back. Let's see where you will cheat incense from in the future!"
He had stepped forward and stood side by side with Lin Jue.
Master Nan was burly. Facing the divine general's verbal battle, the relatively thin Daoist beside him gripped his long sword tightly, preventing the divine general from jumping over the wall in a hurry and protecting his safety.
The two sides confronted each other for a long time.
Master Nan didn't retreat, and Lin Jue didn't retreat either.
The crowd behind them didn't retreat either.
With a mortal body, facing the divine being, for a moment, there was ten thousand feet of heroism.
"Forget it."
General Evil Bandit in the sky sighed, as if choosing to step back:
"What Master Nan said is reasonable. The blame we receive is indeed not as good as the many commoners and righteous heroes who died here. Since that is the case, let's use the soul and Dao practice of this leopard demon to sacrifice to them. We will accept some blame when we go back."
Then he ordered people to bring the leopard demon's soul.
Only seeing more than a dozen celestial soldiers, locking the leopard demon with iron chains, dragging it to the edge of the cloud layer.
And the leopard demon struggled, trembled, wailed, and begged for mercy constantly. Between life and death, it seemed that more than a dozen celestial soldiers couldn't hold it.
"Spare my life! Spare me!
"I already know I was wrong! Spare my life!
"Awoo..."
The crowd below was shocked.
And General Evil Bandit continued:
"Although this leopard demon has been beheaded, the act of eliminating demons by you righteous people is still worthy of admiration and reward. We have prepared some immortal pills and spiritual fruits when we came, please accept them!"
The crowd below heard this and became even more excited.
Then they saw the divine general wave his sleeve, and one of the clouds in the sky separated and fell below.
"Take one of these immortal pills, and your injuries will be healed, and you can be free from illness for a lifetime. Take two, and you can extend your life by ten years. Eat three, and you will be five years younger. And these are two Yuanqiu fruits, which are immortal fruits produced in Yuanqiu Mountain. Eating one can extend your life by a hundred years, and you will not be old for a hundred years. They are given to those who are the most hardworking and have contributed the most in eliminating demons, True Man Lin and Master Nan."
The cloud landed, stirring up some smoke, not scattering, but keeping it solid, with cloud flowers and waves rolling at the edge.
On it was a table and two trays.
One tray had two immortal fruits, and one tray had a large gourd.
It really looked like a scene of gods in mythology.
At the same time, the celestial soldiers dragged the leopard demon's soul to the edge of the cloud layer. The divine general raised the golden whip in his hand high, gritted his teeth, and hit it downward with force in front of everyone.
Three whips in a row, beating it until its soul flew away and scattered.
