Chapter 298: Human head and snake body, all men are not all men

Xia Dynasty, Songshan Temple.

It is the largest Taoist temple of the Xia Dynasty.

The area within a hundred miles of Songshan is not only bustling with people, but also attracts many dignitaries who come here every year.

The purpose of their actions is also very simple.

Or it is to seek enlightenment and find a way to transcend.

Either they have something to ask for, or they have to ask the Da family to come forward.

What happened in Caihua County is the latter.

It’s just that something seems to have gone wrong at Songshan Temple in recent times.

Not only did the Taoist temple close its doors to visitors, but all the Taoist disciples walking around in the Xia Dynasty were also recalled.

In such a situation, it is obvious that something big is about to happen.

At this time, outside Songshan Temple, there was a Xia Dynasty guard force of more than a thousand people stationed.

The appearance of these large armies obviously did not indicate their intention to do anything to Songshan Temple.

Want to protect someone.

To be able to put up such a display, the person being protected must be either rich or noble.

Inside Songshan Temple, in a courtyard.

The courtyard here is not big, with only a pond and a pavilion.

But its layout is so mysterious that people will have an inexplicable feeling of their souls being cleansed just by being here.

It’s like being in a paradise on earth.

In the pavilion of this courtyard, a middle-aged man in a dragon robe was playing chess, drinking tea and chatting with the abbot of Songshan Temple who was wearing a Taoist robe.

"Master Lu, are you really not going to take action?"

"At present, Zhou and Chen have deployed millions of troops on our border, as if they are encircling us from both north and south."

"With our current strength, let alone dealing with two countries at the same time, even if it's Zhou or Chen, we can't contend with them."

"If Master Lu and your Songshan Guan family do not take action, our Xia Dynasty may be in danger of destruction."

"By then, the Songshan Temple that relies on our dynasty may not have a good ending."

Having said this, the prince of the Xia Dynasty stopped immediately and looked at Master Lu in front of him with a serious face.

The meaning is self-evident.

But what surprised him was that he was faced with such emotional and logical persuasion from the Prince of Xia Dynasty.

Master Lu was unmoved.

It seemed as if the life or death of the Xia Dynasty had nothing to do with their Songshan Temple.

I saw Master Lu was drinking tea calmly.

Although Prince Xia Chao was extremely anxious, he also knew that he had little control over him.

So after a moment of silence, Prince Xia Chao stood up and said, "This is all I have to say. I hope that Master Lu will consider this matter carefully, considering our dynasty's offerings to the Taoist temple for so many years."

"My lord, I am leaving first."

After saying this, Prince Xia Chao left the Taoist temple.

After he left, a middle-aged Taoist priest walked into the Taoist temple.

"Master, you really won't do anything?"

Upon hearing this, Master Lu turned and looked at him.

At this moment, the middle-aged Taoist priest felt that the person in front of him was not an old man over a hundred years old at all.

It is a towering mountain whose peak cannot be seen.

This momentum made him prostrate himself on the ground with sweat pouring down his forehead.

Master Lu did not look at the miserable appearance of his beloved disciple, but stood up and walked to the edge of the pool.

"Take action? At present, Liuyun and Biluo Temples of Zhou and Chen countries have achieved some purpose. They have already ambushed and killed many good players of our temple openly or secretly."

"Don't you realize that I've been sending messages for such a long time, but your two uncles still haven't sent any information?"

"With the cultivation level of those two, I don't believe there are many people in the Xia Dynasty who can make them disappear from this world quietly."

"This can only mean one thing, that is, there are multiple monks of the same level who have taken action."

"Although the Xia Dynasty is very important to me, compared to the Taoist temple itself, the Xia Dynasty is not indispensable."

"As long as the Taoist temple is still there, no matter what happens outside, we will have a place to stay."

"On the contrary, once the Taoist temple is gone, even if the Xia Dynasty is still there, do you think we still have the strength to suppress them?"

"Remember, we are our family. The one who stands on the mountain is us. The one who comes down from the mountain...is no longer us."

Although this was not said explicitly.

But the middle-aged Taoist priest kneeling on the ground immediately understood the meaning.

People standing on the mountain keep themselves in a detached position and do not take risks easily.

After all, once you get into the game, it won’t be easy to protect yourself.

The current situation is that Liuyun and Biluo temples have joined forces and are preparing to use the Xia Dynasty as bait to make Songshan temple disperse its already limited strength.

This will undoubtedly put their already insufficient strength at a disadvantage.

That is why Master Lu was unwilling to take action even though he knew that the Xia Dynasty was about to be destroyed.

He was ready to gather all his strength and fight to the death with Liuyun and Biluo.

It is also clearly telling both sides.

If you want to eat our Songshan Temple, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so.

If their Songshan Temple is gone, then their Liuyun and Biluo Temples will definitely be in trouble.

In fact, Master Lu had another purpose in closing the mountain gate.

That is to delay it until Daqianshan above them gets to know about the matter and then comes out to mediate.

Whether it is Songshan Temple, or the later Liuyun Temple and Biluo Temple.

They are actually all subordinate Taoist temples of Daqianshan.

Normally, these subordinate Taoist temples would have some conflicts with each other.

It wouldn't have come to the point where both sides are desperate.

But for some reason, there was no movement in the Daqian Mountains below.

Master Lu was unaware that Daqianshan had already known about this, but he chose to acquiesce.

Or is it that Daqianshan is now preoccupied with other matters and therefore has no intention of mediating the conflicts among these small Taoist temples?

If the latter is okay, then just drag it out.

There is also a glimmer of hope for their Songshan Temple.

But if it was the former, then they would be doomed.

Master Lu came to the top of Song Mountain and looked down at the Xia Dynasty's personal guards who had already started to leave.

"The storm is coming... the wind is blowing in the building."

The border between the Xia Dynasty and the State of Chen.

At this time in the border area, the number of troops gathered by both sides has reached one million.

With such a large number, from a distance it looked like a black ocean covering the border area.

Although the Xia Dynasty's army had city walls and occupied the advantageous geographical location.

But their morale is at an all-time low.

Because the army they currently have defending the city is only a mere 100,000.

However, the Chen army outside the city wall had a total of one million soldiers.

The difference in the number of troops is only secondary.

What is really fatal is the number of families on both sides.

After all, if the Qie family had not taken action, relying on the more than ten-meter-high city wall, they might be able to stop enemies that are ten times their number.

But once the Chen family took action.

A mere ten-meter-high city wall can stop ordinary people, but it cannot stop the flying and strange tricks of the Dian family.

But at this time, something happened to the Songshan Temple of the Xia Dynasty.

Not only did he not send anyone to help them, but he also called everyone back.

It was as if he had given up on them.

Without the means of the Qi family, and with a military force that was ten times behind.

Defend? What can they defend with?

What the Xia Dynasty army knew, the Chen State on the opposite side naturally knew as well.

Therefore, it is different from the depressed momentum of the Xia Dynasty.

The morale of the Chen army was very high.

After the two sides were in a stalemate for several days, the Chen State finally could not hold back any longer.

For a moment, the battlefield was filled with murderous intent.

Three days later...

The million-strong army of the State of Chen broke through the border of the Xia Dynasty and began to advance.

The war situation changed so quickly that the Xia Dynasty royal family was caught off guard.

They thought that the army defending the city would not be able to hold out for long.

But no one expected that they would be completely defeated in just three days.

This undoubtedly reveals very bad news.

Even though the border troops had gathered the elite troops of the Xia Dynasty and had the advantage of the city walls, they could not hold out for more than a few days.

Not to mention other armies that are not as good as the border army.

The fall of the Xia Dynasty...can be seen with the naked eye.

In fact, if the two armies were to fight normally, the Xia Dynasty would have lost.

But you won't lose so quickly.

However, the Chen State's Qie clan came out in full force, making the battlefield completely one-sided.

Without the barrier of border walls, the Xia Dynasty was now like a turtle without its shell, vulnerable to being slaughtered.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

To make matters worse, a similar situation occurred on the border between the Xia Dynasty and the Zhou State.

It seemed as if the Chen and Zhou states were competing to see who would be the first to attack the capital of the Xia Dynasty.

They actually began to move at full speed towards the capital of the Xia Dynasty, advancing triumphantly all the way.

Xia Dynasty, Caihua County.

At this time, Caihua County has lost its former prosperity and has become a hell on earth.

Not only had the entire county been occupied by the Chen army, but even the people in the city had completely become playthings of the Chen army.

"Grandpa, Grandpa..."

In Mr. Chu's mansion, Mr. Chu had turned into a headless corpse, lying in a pool of blood.

A large number of Chen soldiers rushed in, killing and looting everywhere, committing all kinds of atrocities.

The cruelty of the battlefield was vividly displayed at this moment.

Similar situations also occurred in other places in Caihua County.

No one can change this situation.

Ten miles outside Caihua County, more than a dozen Taoists wearing Biluoguan robes were setting up some special formations.

As the formation was activated, strong winds blew all around and the clouds rolled.

In addition, in the distance, flames were shooting up into the sky in Caihua County, and countless scarlet evil spirits carrying a large amount of resentment were coming one after another.

In an instant, the entire world seemed to be covered with a layer of blood mist, which was very strange.

Such means, the family? They are more evil than demons.

Killing people is not enough, demons only want mortal lives.

But these evildoers want not only the lives of mortals, but also their souls.

Breaking the bones and sucking the marrow out cannot explain what they are doing now.

In the center of the formation, an old Taoist priest with a goat-horn beard was sitting cross-legged.

The evil spirit and resentment attracted by the formation were all absorbed into his body.

This caused the old Taoist's cultivation to begin to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But just when the old Taoist priest reached the critical moment of his practice, a flying sword cut through the sky and flew towards the direction where the old Taoist priest was.

The flying sword was so fast that others only felt a streak of light passing by.

When he came to his senses, the flying sword had already arrived in front of the old Taoist priest.

"How brave!"

Just when the flying sword was about to hit the old Taoist priest, the old Taoist priest, who had been practicing with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes and shouted angrily.

The old Taoist priest stood up, and his Taoist robe began to change rapidly.

It began to stick to the old Taoist's body like skin, and gradually turned into emerald green snake scales.

Immediately afterwards, the old Taoist priest's body began to swell visibly.

Not long after, a half-human, half-demon with a human head and a snake body, several hundred meters tall, appeared in front of everyone.

The old Taoist priest was a cultivator of the Qi family in the Yuanying stage.

The martial arts he practiced was also the superior martial arts of the Biluo Taoist Temple, the Biluo Huangquan Jue.

"Who is this despicable villain who dares to attack me?"

The old Taoist priest who was casting spells on heaven and earth looked towards a place in Caihua County with a low voice.

Under the gaze of everyone, a figure in a black robe slowly walked out of the mountains and forests outside Caihua County.

"Songshan Guanjian Cultivator, Luyuan."

"Lu Yuan? When did this person appear in Songshan Temple?"

Taoist Ziquan of Biluo Temple was secretly surprised, because he could feel that the cultivation level of this so-called 'Lu Yuan' was not much lower than his own.

You should know that the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the ancient Nine Realms is fixed.

Although due to some special reasons recently, there have been many more Nascent Soul cultivators.

But those undoubtedly have nothing to do with Songshan Temple, which is far away from the core of Daqian Mountain.

After all, Songshanguan doesn’t even have the qualifications to be on the table.

Not to mention attending that feast.

Therefore, the number of Yuanying stage masters in Songshan Temple should be well-known.

But the Lu Yuan who suddenly appeared at this moment was actually in the Nascent Soul stage.

There is an indescribable weirdness everywhere here.

This unexpected thing made Taoist Ziquan instinctively feel that something was wrong.

And this Lu Yuan who suddenly appeared was naturally not the real monk from Songshan Temple.

He just went out under the name of Songshan Temple to hunt down Lu Chen from the Nascent Soul stage family.

In fact, Lu Chen’s target is not just the Biluo Temple.

Liuyun, Songshan, they are also within Lu Chen's hunting range.

The combined Nascent Soul cultivators in these three Taoist temples could help Lu Chen complete most of his main quest.

Lu Chen would naturally not miss such a godsend opportunity.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make, in order to prevent ordinary people from noticing the clues.

As soon as Lu Chen appeared, he acted decisively.

Boom!

Among the clouds, a sword mountain fell from the sky.

The huge sword mountain broke through the clouds. Its huge size and wide coverage made Taoist Ziquan and others below stunned.

Because the sword mountain was actually two or three times larger than the one that Taoist Ziquan had used in actual combat to perform the Law of Heaven and Earth.

"fall."

Without giving Taoist Ziquan and others much time to react, Lu Chen directly controlled the Fengjuetian Sword Mountain to begin falling.

At this moment, everyone below Jianshan felt like ants.

Only Taoist Ziquan had some ability to resist.

After a brief moment of surprise, Taoist Ziquan attacked with all his strength.

Even though his power was so insignificant in front of this huge mountain of swords.

Boom! When Taoist Ziquan raised his hands to resist Jianshan.

His body began to sink heavily, and the entire earth began to surge violently, like an earth dragon turning over.

It is no exaggeration to say that this commotion was earth-shaking.

Compared to Taoist Ziquan, Lu Chen... is the real immortal! PS: I'm asking for monthly tickets every day!
