Chapter 245
"Are you still refusing to open the door?"

When hundreds of soldiers on both sides of the temple raised their longbows and bent their bows to shoot, on the slope not far from the temple, a young Taoist in a bright yellow Taoist robe looked at the tightly closed gate, stroking his beard, There was a little unbearable on Junxiu's face.

Seeing the Taoist's embarrassing expression, a man in casual clothes glanced at the Longwang Temple, which had blocked the gate, with a hint of disdain flashing across his face.

close the door?

If closing the door works, what are they doing here?
Oh, it can't be said that it is completely useless, once the gate is closed, it can indeed block those foolish people who come to worship, but in the face of the overwhelming army, what can a mere wooden door do?
Even if there is divine power attached to the door, if it is rushed by the evil spirit of the army, there will be nothing left, and any few strong soldiers can smash it away with their bodies.

The reason for not doing this is that, firstly, the Song Dynasty had just conquered the world, and although the form of sharing the world between the scholar-bureaucrats and the royal family had been established, it was not fully formed after all. Most of them were from good families, not untouchables and bandits in the late Song Dynasty.

In other words, the lives of soldiers are still worth some money nowadays.

Secondly, to carry out the act of cutting down mountains and destroying temples, the cooperating soldiers must be elites who have seen blood and possess evil spirits. Most of the elite troops of the Song Dynasty are deposited on the northern and southern borders, and only a few can be vacated.

This is not the only temple of the evil god to be crusaded. The opponent is really desperate to jump over the wall. If the loss is serious, he will not be able to explain it to the Shangguan.

Therefore, even though the army had besieged the Dragon King Temple, he did not order the soldiers to attack rashly, but waited for the high-level mage who was invited from Longhu Mountain to make a decision.

The soldiers distributed on both sides of the temple, and the talismans and arrows in their hands are just one of many arrangements.

In addition, in the upper and lower reaches of the Fenshui River, which is controlled by the Dragon King, there are some stone bridges built under the supervision of special personnel, and dragon swords are hung under the bridges;
For a Fenshui River Dragon King who is not even at the seventh rank, such an arrangement is not considered as humiliating it.

As for extravagance, our Great Song Dynasty lacks everything, but there is no shortage of money!

If the Miao Zhu was smarter and found some common people to be trapped in the temple with the scholars before the army sealed off the place, maybe he would be a little more wary, but now there is only one Miao Zhu and a few wizards and gods, which is more convenient for them.

Thinking of this, the sneer on his face got stronger.

Now everything is ready, but instead of waiting for Master Gao Gong's order to destroy the temple, he saw a little unbearable expression on the other party's face, and the plainclothes civil servant secretly thought something was wrong.

Then he walked to the Taoist side and said softly:

"Why does Master Zhang go to such lengths for a small country god who doesn't respect the king's order? From the official point of view, just attack directly, break down its temple gate, destroy its god statue, first cut off its incense, and then dry the river. , just capture its body and bring it to question. Could it be possible that it can turn the world upside down?"

As soon as the words fell, the Taoist, who was still emotional a moment ago, suddenly turned his head and looked at the plainclothes civil servant. The coldness in his eyes was like a few arrows piercing his heart.

Shocked by this gaze, the plainclothes civil servant subconsciously took a few steps back, until a trace of burning heat came from his chest, and he was pulled out of the shock.

"Master Zhang, what are you doing?" The civil servant yelled in surprise, while reaching into his chest, he took out the official seal that he had been carrying in his arms, put it on the bright side, and at the same time hurriedly left the place , retreated all the way behind several officers and soldiers, and then looked at the Taoist in shock.

However, the Taoist at this time had already withdrawn his gaze, staring at the undulating river with both eyes, as if sighing, as if regretting: "Don't respect the king's order?"

"Yeah, disrespecting the king's order!"

Just an excuse for disrespecting the king's order, how many temples in the south of the Yangtze River, how many mountain, river and water gods who worked hard for the people were all turned into ashes.

However, he is a pity.

But you can only think about it in your heart.

Although today's emperor's imperial decree is only to stabilize his own throne, it is not wrong in terms of reason.

Because since the rise of Huangchao tore apart the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the land of the Central Plains has entered chaos for more than a hundred years.Regardless of the rise and fall of dynasties, or the suffering of the people, there are a large number of monsters and monsters who have taken advantage of the situation in this troubled world. They confuse the people, steal incense, call themselves gods, and do dirty things.I don't know how many people have been tossed about by these ghosts and snakes to offer up their wives, and their wealth has been ruined.

The underworld is full, and countless lonely souls and wild ghosts roam the countryside. Even the brilliant human spirit and the great fortune of the Song Dynasty can't suppress these escaping evil spirits.

In the past, even if Buddhism and Taoism frequently sent disciples down the mountain to save people, there was no improvement in slaying demons and demons. Now an imperial decree dispatches an army to suppress the situation, which is a great time to clear up the universe!
The only pity is that the imperial decree has gone through too many hands, and after being issued layer by layer, it has already deviated from the original intention.

Nowadays, not only monsters and monsters, but also those good gods who work hard for the people and protect the soil and water of one side are included in the scope of attack.This Shuijiang Dragon King is the latter. The unlucky guy thought that he was diligent and diligent, and he was the god of water conferred by the previous dynasty, so he didn't take it seriously. He didn't care about the new Song Dynasty, but he didn't know that his flesh and blood had already To be spotted by dignitaries and dignitaries, the so-called disrespect for the king's order is just an excuse.

Pitiful!
But it's useless, even if he has compassion, he can't save the other party.

You can't harm the whole Longhu Mountain just because of a momentary outburst of kindness.
What a fool!

Closing his eyes, the Taoist's voice was cold: "Shoot the talisman and arrow for three rounds, break its divine light protection first, and then change to the rocket!"

"Did you hear me, shoot three rounds of talismans and arrows, and then change to rockets! First destroy the temple and then take the evil dragon!"

Following the civil official's explanation, the military officer standing beside him hurriedly shouted: "First destroy the temple and then take the evil dragon!"

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"

With an order, hundreds of arrows flew high into the sky with the sound of the bowstring snapping, and after a short ascent, they turned into a black cloud and fell—a water-blue light curtain opened above the temple, But after holding on for just one breath, the light curtain was pierced by the arrow carrying the rune.

Doors, windows, floors, and beams were filled with dense arrows, and the cinnabar on the arrow shafts flowed down like blood, and the divine light that had just appeared in the temple was severely suppressed.

Then it was soaked in fierce fire oil, and the arrows with burning arrows were shot into the temple. The next moment, the fire ignited, and the entire Dragon King Temple instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Feeling the scorching flames outside the door, Miao Zhu, full of sadness, crawled out from under the altar, looked at the disciples beside him, especially the youngest one, and lingered for a moment on the fluffy beard at the corner of his mouth , sighed softly: "It is the teacher who harmed you. If you open the temple gate, you will not be buried with me, a bad old man!"

"Master, ahem, it's clear that the court doesn't distinguish right from wrong, what does it have to do with you, ahem!"

"That's right, Master, we are not afraid of death, and we will not leave the Dragon Lord again. Ahem, I only blame the emperor for being stupid, all officials are incompetent, a bunch of pigs and dogs, this Great Song Dynasty will end sooner or later!"

When the flames rose, the black smoke emitted caused the masters and apprentices to choke and cough non-stop, and the heat wave that had already spread into the hall made them feel unbearable pain all over their bodies, but even so, no one was convinced.

Seeing this, Miao Zhu nodded.

He looked back at the statue behind him.

Over time, the golden pastel decorations on the Dragon Lord's body have already been worn away, leaving only traces of colorful colors in the ravines and ravines.Looking at the dragon head that was blackened by the incense, Miao Zhu gently stroked the feet of the statue with his fingers: "I am afraid that the old man and these apprentices will not be able to escape, but you must run out, Lord Dragon, and don't be fooled by this one." The gang of thieves have been harmed. One day, if you can come back, I will trouble you to save these apprentices and send their souls to the underworld to be reincarnated."

Following Miao Zhu's indifferent narration, two lines of blood and tears gradually flowed down the face of the Dragon King statue.

At the same time, the sky outside the temple suddenly darkened, dark clouds billowed, thunder bursts, and the Fenshui River, which had been rushing non-stop before, was even more windy and the waves were high at the moment. The wrath of the water god!
The next moment, the turbulent wave parted from the middle, and a dragon head the size of a private house protruded from the river.

In the past, the majestic and upright dragon's head was now full of ferocity, and a pair of dragon pupils were filled with blood, showing a scarlet color, and roared:

"The pain kills me, the pain kills me!"

"Since my king was assigned to this Fenshui River, in the past 230 years, he has quelled the floods 33 times and killed more than a hundred evil spirits who crossed the border. Pass."

"If it weren't for the fact that there is no vacancy for the position of the water god of the rivers, with the achievements of this king, it would be more than enough to be promoted to the position of the water god of the tributaries of the Yangtze River. Destroy my temple, kill my temple!"

"Don't respect the king's order, the bullshit doesn't respect the king's order, your emperor of the Song Dynasty didn't even come, what's wrong with this king?"

"Who knows what you think in your heart, just in case, maybe you just want to restore the former dynasty in your heart"

"No need? You dog official!"

Looking at the plainclothes civil servant who suddenly jumped out to accuse him, the Dragon King let out a roar, and the next moment a huge dragon claw came out of the river and grabbed the civil servant directly.

But at this moment, the Taoist priest who had kept his eyes tightly closed suddenly pulled out the magic sword from behind and waved it up.

"clang!"

There was a muffled sound.

The slender magic sword collided with the huge dragon claw, and the mana contained in it gushed out, and the dragon claw couldn't be stored during the burst of sparks.

The sword energy shot out, leaving deep sword marks on the surrounding shore.

Seeing this, the eyes of the Dragon King, who was almost dazzled by anger, regained a sliver of clarity. Looking at the Taoist priest who raised his right hand in vain and looked calm, a bad feeling flashed in his heart.

"The Taoist priest, you also want to assist this dog official to kill the dragon?"

Withdrawing the dragon claw, the Dragon King said in a deep voice.

"One-sided words are not enough evidence. Dragon King, the emperor's order must not be violated. You can arrest it without a fight. After that, Pindao will send people to both sides of the Taiwan Strait to ask the people and squires. If the facts are exactly as you said, Pindao will definitely arrest you. Take it back intact, how about you?"

Both Buddhism and Taoism have ways to observe luck. Just by looking at it, you can tell that what the dragon king said is true, but the Taoists know that those officials don’t agree. You have to check it out to determine whether it is a righteous god for the people or a disaster for the village. ghosts and monsters.

The process is like this, and the Taoist also knows that those dignitaries have different ideas.

However, relying on the name of the head of the Taoist sect and the direct descendant of Longhu Mountain, as long as the Dragon King cooperates in the investigation, it is not difficult to save the other party. After all, they will have to help them eradicate other ghosts and snake gods in the future. .

"Heh, bah, a raccoon of a feather burned the temple of the king, killed the temple of the king, and told the king to be arrested without a fight. A three-year-old child would not believe this!"

When he said this, the Dragon King withdrew his dragon claws, and the whole dragon sank under the raging river, leaving only a dragon chant full of hatred on the surface of the river: "There are no dragons who bow their knees in my dragon clan. Since you want to slay the dragon , then come, I want to see how good you are!"

As soon as the words fell, a huge wave tens of meters high was directly set off in the Fenshui River, and suddenly hit the two banks.

Although stone bridges were built upstream and downstream of the river, and the dragon-slaying sword was hung, but that was just a means to prevent it from escaping.This river of water is still under its control, which is why the Dragon King dared to turn his face.

Before the life-and-death crisis, it simply ignored the consequences of the flood, not to mention that the human race itself didn't take human life as a human being, so it had nothing to worry about as a dragon water god.Decisively set off a huge wave, if the waterway is impassable, then take the dry road, under the flood, it is easy to escape from this place.

Yes, from the beginning to the end, the Dragon King never thought of going head-to-head.

Although he is in the position of the seventh-rank water god, he is still powerless in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the army under the double cover of evil spirit and national destiny.What's more, there is that annoying Taoist priest here, who knows how long it took for these people to encircle and suppress him.

As we all know, a Taoist priest, if given time, even a big monster that roams the land can be overturned by a little boy.

As long as it escapes the siege of the army, relying on the dense water network in the south of the Yangtze River, it can easily return to the Yangtze River, and then ask the uncles and uncles to make decisions for it.
The turbulent river water crossed the embankment and washed wantonly on the flat bank. The place it passed was directly flattened by the tide, and it was not resisted by the army until it was in front of the army formation, but it only offset the divine power and slowed down the flood. With the power, the water still flows under the feet of many soldiers beyond the evil spirit.

In an instant, the turbid water submerged to the bend of the leg.

Even with the order of the general, the panic of the soldiers could not be restrained. Where had they seen this scene before, not to mention that on the bank of the river not far away, a huge monster with a length of nearly [-] meters was resting its claws on the bank. On the side, the huge dragon head suddenly lifted from the river.
