Although those Taoists only had cultivation in the mountains, the movement techniques they used were very mysterious and they moved extremely fast, reaching twenty miles away in the blink of an eye.
The two Shangqing Taoists who were lurking and waiting left their hiding place, went west to the highest point of the mountain, looked east, and waited for the arrival of reinforcements.
At this time, the two Taoists were only a hundred feet away from Nanfeng and Zhuge Chanjuan. Nanfeng made a gesture to Zhuge Chanjuan, telling her not to speak loudly.
Not long after, the eight Ziqi Taoists arrived in the air and landed on the top of the mountain. The two Taoists waiting here came forward to greet everyone and exchange blessings with the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
After the ceremony, a handsome-looking Taoist in his prime said to the old Taoist who arrived first, "I received an order from our sect this morning and asked everyone to come and help the two uncles accomplish their mission."
The old Taoist priest who arrived first said, "The day before yesterday, I was shocked to hear that Master Chen died in a crane, and I was deeply saddened. I shouldn't have rashly summoned you during the period of mourning, but the situation is critical, so I can only ask the master to win the favor of all my nephews. Please help.”
"Uncle Yixue said something serious. We must pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty. We are invited by the ancestral court. We must not lose our moral principles." said the Taoist Master in his prime.
Before Yi Xuezi could answer, a middle-aged Taoist next to the prime Taoist interjected, "My master has given the Taoist treasure seal to the senior brother before."
After the man finished speaking, Yi Xuezi and the strange Taoist bowed their heads again, "Congratulations to my nephew for taking over the throne."
"My condolences," the Taoist priest in his prime waved his hand, "Eight of my senior brothers have arrived with orders. I wonder what my uncle is going to do?"
Hearing this, Yi Xuezi pointed towards the swamp with his hand and explained the situation to the mature Taoist.
While the two were talking, Nanfeng turned his attention to the other people. The eight people who came did not stand randomly. He was in his forties, with a calm demeanor, and was currently listening to the middle-aged Taoist and Yi Xuezi talking.
Next up was a Taoist of a different kind, also in his forties, with a simple and honest face. He was nodding with the Taoist Xianlai Kun who was also a different kind.
The fourth person was a tall man in his early thirties, tall and thick. He was taking the water bag and handed it to the dwarf standing in the sixth place. Although the dwarf was short, he was not ugly in appearance. The Taoist handed over the water but shook his head and did not take it.
There was also a handsome man between the two, with a medium build. He was looking helplessly at Daoist Gao who was passing water to the dwarf through him, "Fourth Senior Brother is so partial, I am also thirsty, why don't you give it to me?" .”
Standing at the end was a young man in his mid-twenties, who was so handsome. He was smiling and joking, "Fifth Senior Brother, why didn't you fall in love with your daughter?"
Above the young man, there was a gloomy-looking man, probably in his mid-thirties, who was tilting his head and looking toward the northeast, where Li Chaozong and others were.
Unlike Yi Xuezi who arrived first, the few people who came did not take Li Chaozong and others seriously, and talked easily and casually.
After listening to Yi Xuezi's words, the leading Taoist priest nodded, "In that case, let's take it."
Seeing how relaxed he said it, Yi Xuezi and the alien Kun Dao looked surprised. Nanfeng and Zhuge Chanjuan were also surprised. This person was so loud that he regarded all his opponents as nothing. He didn't know if he was hiding his special skills or just speaking out. raving.
After the Taoist in his prime finished speaking, he took a step forward, raised his voice and spoke, "The things in the swamp originally belonged to the Supreme Purity, but now we are going to take them away. Those who take it will destroy the candle of the Supreme Purity, and those who extinguish the candle will lose their fragrance and heirs."
"Huh?" Zhuge Chanjuan didn't understand.
Nanfeng lowered his voice, "Whoever dares to stop us will have the nine tribes destroyed."
The man finished shouting, paused briefly, and spoke again, shouting the same words as before. In this way, I called three times in a row, but there was no response from Northeast and Zhengdong.
Seeing that no one answered, the mature Taoist frowned slightly, flexed his fingers, looked around the swamp, then pointed to the southwest, "There, grab it out."
After hearing the words, everyone jumped out one after another, and the Taoist priest in his prime also jumped out. The person standing in the east was at the end, and he quickly reached the top of the big tree where the two were hiding. "What are the two little sparrows hiding here?"
The incident happened so suddenly that Nanfeng didn't react. Fortunately, the man didn't wait too long. He said, "Let's go quickly," and then swept southward.
"How did he find us?" Nanfeng looked at Zhuge Chanjuan in confusion.
"I want to know too." Zhuge Chanjuan shook her head.
The eight people walked around to the southwest and stood on the shore. The Taoist monk in his prime and the Taoist monk who was traveling four times performed the formulas at the same time. Because they were too far away, they could not hear what mantras they were reciting. They could only see their hands. He pinched his fingers and jumped towards the swamp.
These two people must have used some kind of earth-type magic. Wherever they landed, they became solid. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had jumped more than ten miles away, and then folded together to form a circular area in the swamp.
When everyone on the shore saw the two men completing the encirclement, they immediately rushed to help. Each of the eight men held one side and grabbed hold of them from a distance.
"The Taoism can reach the sky, and the Qi can move the mountains!" With a chorus of roars, the Taoist temple made of gold and jade and the huge toad queen beneath it were snatched out of the swamp.
Nanfeng knew that the Queen Toad would be very huge, but he never thought it would be so huge. The Queen Toad's shape was no different from an ordinary black and yellow toad, but its size was a hundred times larger, hanging above the swamp like a hill.
Although these eight people worked together to capture the toad queen, the support was extremely difficult. One of them jumped out and reached the Taoist temple. It was unknown what spell he used. The three people who were originally tied to the waist and abdomen of the toad queen The metal ties broke at the same time, and the huge toad queen fell into the water.
After the Toad Queen fell into the water, everyone else stopped, and only that person controlled the Taoist temple with one hand, moving quickly from the water to the shore.
While that person controlled the Taoist temple, others followed closely to guard and protect the Dharma.
I don't know whether it was the warning from the strong Taoist priest before, or the huge power of the eight people's joint attack that calmed everyone. Li Chaozong, Zheng Qi and others just watched from a distance and did not get close to snatch it.
After a while, everyone returned to the shore. The man put away his spells and put down the Taoist temple. It was not clear how he prepared himself. He just waved his right hand slightly, and the golden roof of the Taoist temple was immediately lifted. The Taoist in his prime stepped forward and stretched out his right hand. The four jade walls opened at the same time, and the things in the Taoist temple appeared immediately.
The Taoist temple is not big, and there are very few things inside. Not only does it have no living utensils, there is not even a bed. There is only a clear painting, an incense table and an incense burner. Under the incense table is a piece of grass ball, except for There is nothing else.
Due to the passage of time, the portrait and the grass balls softened and drifted with the wind. In addition to the incense burner, there must have been a small object on the incense table. The Taoist priest in his prime took the object, looked down at it, and nodded to everyone. .
The other Taoists immediately took action, threw the Taoist temple back into the swamp, and returned with the Taoist in his prime.
When everyone returned to the distance, Nanfeng saw clearly that the thing the Taoist was holding was a piece of tortoise shell.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life." The mature Taoist handed the tortoise shell to Yi Xuezi.
Yi Xuezi took the tortoise shell and pointed south, "Over there..."
Before Yi Xuezi could finish speaking, the strong man waved his hand and interrupted the other person's words, "The master's decree ordered us not to get involved in the rivers and lakes, and to practice the law with a pure heart. By obeying the order this time, we have fulfilled our clan's moral principles. I hurried back to the mountain and asked Master Yixue to tell the master not to summon him again in the future."
Yi Xuezi was stunned when he heard this. He didn't wait for the man long, and after the inspection, he led everyone to rise into the sky.
Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Yi Xuezi and the others hurriedly walked together, "Everyone, please go slowly. If you dare, please escort me for a while."
"These Taoists are so powerful." Zhuge Chanjuan watched everyone go away.
"From what the leading Taoist said, it seems that they rarely walk on the rivers and lakes." Nanfeng said.
While the two were talking, the group of people was already ten miles away.
Looking again, it was already dozens of miles away.
Fading away, disappearing...
