Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 126: Vacuum hometown
Chapter 126 Vacuum Hometown
When they actually attacked the White Lotus Temple, Yue Hongling was glad that she was cautious enough when she was lurking here to observe and did not take action directly.
This temple looks like there are not many monks, only about a hundred, but in fact they are all elite and powerful, and Fa Yuan and Gong Chaoqun are equally matched. This person was caught off guard and responded to the challenge in a hurry. Under the all-out attack of the Demon Suppression Division, he was still able to withstand the attack and slowly retreated to the back of the temple.
If it weren’t for the army’s deployment of hundreds of archers for support, the Demon Suppression Division alone would not be able to clean out this thief temple den. It’s no wonder that Gong Chaoqun couldn’t do anything in the past.
It is difficult for Yue Hongling to understand why the monks of Bailian Temple are so strong.
The Maitreya Sect is not like the major sects and families who cultivate their seeds from an early age, nor is it like the Demon Suppressor who selects the world's pure martial arts masters to join the iron rice bowl.
Their "soldiers" are basically recruited from gangsters and innocent people. Only some of them have their own martial arts skills, and most of them are poor farmers and fishermen, and they are already adults or even middle-aged and old. What's going on? In this short period of time, all these sources of chaos have been trained to the point where they are all at level one or two, and the ones as high as six or seven. How do you train like this?
Are they all Zhao Changhe?
And because of their teaching of "killing to become a Buddha", these monks are all extremely brave. They are all people who have killed people with blood on their hands, and are not honest farmers who have never fought with others.
There are countless Maitreya sects with this kind of power, all over the south of the Yangtze River. Once something happens, everything will turn upside down.
Not to mention the whole of Jiangnan, just at the Bailian Temple right now, Yue Hongling doubted that if Fa Yuan was determined to run away, the crossbows from outside might not be able to stop him.
"Huh!" Yue Hongling slashed the throat of a Maitreya cultist with a sword, then covered her shoulders and frowned slightly.
This injury is said to not affect the movement very much, but it is still a bit of a drag in actual combat, which is worse than expected.
Looking up, Fa Yuanzheng was leading a few core monks in the night, fighting and retreating back to the mountain under the attack of Gong Chaoqun and others.
It was late at night, and it was very easy to be run away once you entered the forest. Zhao Changhe had the most experience in this regard.
We can’t let such a leader run away!
Yue Hongling gritted her teeth, endured the dull pain on her shoulder, stood up, and stabbed with her sword.
Fa Yuan is fighting against Gong Chaoqun. He knows that Gong Chaoqun is extremely difficult to deal with, and he may not be able to win in a single fight. Not to mention that when the opponent is so powerful and his own people are in chaos, there is basically no way to fight. But Fa Yuan is confident that he can escape. In the dark night, he only needs to look for an opportunity to drill into the mountains...
He stood up and quit the sword, and the dazzling light of the sword enveloped Gong Chaoqun's vital points, which was the start of the Maitreya Sect's secret skill, White Lotus, to purify the world.
Gong Chaoqun shifted his center of gravity slightly, holding his sword and focusing on alert.
He knew how powerful this sword was. Thousands of illusions were attacking at the same time. The lotus petals in the sky and on the earth were all swords. The spiritual platform must be stabilized to be able to withstand such a blow.
However, just as he took half a step back, the sword light suddenly disappeared, and Fa Yuan flew back. It was actually a false move!
"The Demon-Suppressing Division is nothing more than that! Hahahaha...uh..."
A sword light struck under the moonlight, and under the full moon, Yue Hongling's figure descended like a moon palace, falling straight into the sky.
"Dang!" Fayuan fought hard with a knife. His escape stopped and he yelled angrily: "Yue Hongling! Don't let me fall into my hands one day and have you kneel on the ground like a dog and beg me for help." ..."
Before he finished speaking, an arrow shot through the sky like a rainbow and shot through the sky with a terrifying roar, heading straight for his throat!
Fa Yuan didn't even have time to finish his words. He quickly turned around and dodged. The arrow missed his shoulder and scraped off a large piece of flesh.
Yue Hongling had a slight smile on her lips and struck out with her sword again.
Behind him, Gong Chaoqun had already pierced Fa Yuan’s heart with his sword.
How can Fayuan withstand the three-party attack?
Blood spattered on his left shoulder and back at the same time. Fayuan stumbled to the side in great embarrassment, shouting angrily: "Maitreya came to the world and killed himself to become a Buddha!"
Following the words, the other high-level monks who were resisting the Demon Suppressor in the surrounding area muttered at the same time: "Maitreya came to the world, died and became a Buddha..."
"No birth mother, empty hometown..."
Yue Hongling was about to give Fa Yuan a blow when she saw a monk with red eyes rushing toward her like a mad tiger.
Yue Hongling stabbed the opponent in the chest with her sword, not wanting to entangle her but intending to force her back. Unexpectedly, the monk refused to dodge and let the sword penetrate her chest and grabbed her sword blade with force.
Crazy...
Yue Hongling drew her sword, but she couldn't pull it back for a while.
Looking around, all the monks were crazy.
Everyone used their own flesh and blood to block the sword of the Demon Suppressor, holding on tightly and refusing to let go.
This is no longer a fanatic believer. Fanatic believers still know pain. They seem to have lost the sense of pain. This is the secret method that has deprived him of his reason and turned him into a beast that only sacrifices everything for his faith.
Is this their vacuum hometown? It was indeed bliss because there was no pain.
When people withdrew their weapons from these beasts, Fa Yuan had already taken advantage of the moment of chaos to escape into the forest without a trace.
Gong Chaoqun was so angry that he burst into anger: "Everyone is searching the mountain! He was seriously injured, he can't hide his vitality, and he can't run far!"
Yue Hongling held her shoulders weakly and took a few breaths. The force of the shock when the sword that intercepted Fa Yuan was parried by the opponent once again aggravated her injury. She had been suppressing it, but now she could no longer suppress it. The wound It began to crack and blood flowed out.
Remembering the timely support of the arrow just now, Yue Hongling felt some unspeakable emotions in her heart. She raised her head and looked into the temple, looking for Zhao Changhe.
Zhao Changhe did not come to participate in the siege, because he himself had a lot of opponents, and his main opponent was his old acquaintance, the goddess Nianhua.
When he was shooting the arrow, he had already restrained the flower-carrying goddess. He had just fired an arrow to support her, but before he had time to rush over, the situation suddenly changed and Fa Yuan had left.
Zhao Changhe's dragon bird pressed down on the shoulders of Nian Hua Tiannu, forcing her to kneel on the ground helplessly. He sighed: "Fayuan said such cruel words to Yue Hongling, so you just kneel down on me... There is a debt for wrongdoing." There is a Lord, why should this be done?”
Yue Hongling, who was flying over to discuss with Zhao Changhe, paused slightly and looked at him with a complicated expression, but did not pass.
Actually, Zhao Changhe did intend to take revenge for Yue Hongling on the spot, but that was not entirely true.
Because through previous interactions, he felt that the belief of this flower-handling goddess was not so fanatical, and she would do some clever things to cover up for herself before, and she was not so single-minded in dedicating herself to the sect. This pressure is also a test. If she is like other beasts who voluntarily die, they will not kneel down and will only commit suicide holding the dragon bird.
However, she knelt down, which showed that this was not some fanatical believer who was brainwashed into being fanatical and dedicated, and could be persuaded to surrender.
But I heard the goddess Nian Hua continue to say: "Our holy religion has always been good to you and wants to absorb you into the religion. Why are you like this..."
Zhao Changhe finally said: "Absorb? Join the religion? Are you going to die like these beasts?"
The Flower Goddess was startled and whispered: "You can't... As a hidden dragon, you have unlimited potential. The teacher will only want to cultivate you, which is different."
"It's no different. I sent you to dress up as a Yue girl to "preach" to me. Isn't it hiding the idea of secret control?"
Nian Hua Tiannu said: "The degree is different... Forget it, I have nothing to argue with if the young master thinks so."
Zhao Changhe said: "It's not that I want to debate scriptures with you, but I think you are different from them. You have not been brainwashed into fools and lunatics and can communicate. I'll tell you the truth. Nowadays, Fa Yuan is subject to It is impossible for the injured to escape under Gong Chaoqun's encirclement and suppression. If we can't find it, it means there must be a secret cave or secret passage hidden in the mountain. I highly doubt that everyone is still searching in the mountain and the others are already several miles away."
The Hua Nian Nu's eyes moved slightly, a little surprised.
Zhao Changhe said: "So I guessed it right? It means that it is impossible for the Demon Sect's lair that has been running for so long not to have some secret cave or something like that. As long as you tell me where this secret passage is, I can make the decision to let you go. With one life, you can change your life and live somewhere else, and don't mess with the Maitreya Cult anymore... Do you really have no hesitation in seeing what happens to these people? You just work as a toilet and die when something happens. I feel sorry for you just thinking about it."
Nian Hua Tian Nu is very strange: "You... can torture me severely, or even treat me as harshly as Fa Yuan did to Yue Hongling. Why do you let me go and persuade me to be a good person instead?"
Zhao Changhe's old face was slightly red again, and his voice was low: "You... once gave me a boost and gave her a hug, and she smelled sweet."
The Flower Girl's eyes widened, her frightened expression of being captured was almost gone, and she almost stopped laughing.
Zhao Changhe became angry: "Speak quickly, or I will really torture you!"
"It doesn't have to be like this." The Flower Goddess smiled and said, "Not only do I know where the secret passage is, I can even take you there now."
Zhao Changhe asked curiously: "So easy to talk to?"
"Because you are right, I don't want to end up like them in the future." The Flower Girl smiled, and her voice became more charming: "And... you are very cute. The bloodthirst in people's hearts Shura, he is such a little brother... Besides, I am not a toilet person..."
"What does it have to do with me?" Zhao Changhe felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously looked around, but was shocked to find Yue Hongling standing not far away and listening.
Zhao Changhe: "...when did you come?"
"Just here." Yue Hongling walked over expressionlessly, and kicked the flower goddess for some unknown reason: "Where is the secret cave? Tell me quickly."
Is this really just here?
Zhao Changhe tilted his head, pretending not to guess.
The Flower Goddess smiled and said: "Actually, there are underground secret caves and secret passages in the temple, which are used for secret rituals and to lead to the back mountain for escape. You came suddenly, and they had no time to enter the secret passage in the temple. We only have time to retreat to the back mountain. Now on the contrary, if he enters the secret passage from the back mountain, he will come out of the temple. If you focus on searching the back mountain, he will actually run away from here."
Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling looked at each other, and the slight embarrassment in their hearts was instantly thrown away.
The Flower Goddess added: "By the way, there are many restoration things down there, and the means of restoring the Holy Religion are far beyond your imagination. I suggest you not to give him a chance, but to do it as soon as possible."
