Ru Hai sat next to Gang. As the only three women in the team, they had a good relationship. The girl choked up and said, "I thought everyone was fine."
"I'm sorry, I didn't stop the fairy." Huameiwan said softly.
His mood swings are rare, but he cannot be said to be a cold-blooded person. Gang's death made him feel quite depressed.
Huameiwan couldn't describe this feeling in words. This feeling of loss was probably similar to the feeling he had when he separated from his wife.
"It's a fight between life and death, there's nothing we can do about it." Zuo Qie said, "Next, we just have to wait for the Bodhisattva to act."
"Yes, it's as the Bodhisattva said. After entering Penglai, he will suppress the power of the Great Own God. But the Great Own God will in turn lock down the entire Penglai area. The blockade will not be broken until he has fully taken action." Shi Yuan recalled the previous communication.
"Go to the wall first. It will be convenient for us to retreat as soon as possible." Huameiwan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange phenomenon appeared. Outside Zhoutian Palace, the original golden light became even more luxuriant, illuminating the entire night into day.
A Buddha statue slowly took shape in the daylight.
Chapter 733: Great Country God Escapes from Trouble
The night turns into day, what a strange sight. When everything around is in darkness, only the island becomes bright above, as if there is a bright sun in the sky.
The large ship that arrived at the island was carrying many people. Among them was a guy named Yamada Asaemon Juhe. When he saw the golden snake in the distance, he turned to his boss and said, "Reasonably, can't we stay where we are?"
"Is it very dangerous?" Wei Shan, wearing a blindfold, said to Shihe.
"Dangerous? No, no, no, no, it can't be called dangerous. It should be said that if you go in, you will die." Yamada Asaemon Juhe said: "Although I don't know what happened over there, it must be like the mythical battle recorded in the myth."
Can humans participate in wars in mythology? The answer is definitely no, let alone wars in mythology, even in ordinary wars. The strength of an individual is so small that even the most powerful warrior will fall in the gap in numbers.
This is a matter of course.
No matter how strong a warrior is, he is still a human being. As a human being, he needs to eat three times a day, he will get tired, and he will age. The same is true for the samurai sword in his hand. It is no big deal to chop off the head of one person, and it is no problem to chop off the head of ten people. But when the number reaches hundreds or thousands, and they continuously chop off the tough bones, even the sharpest samurai sword will break.
Wei Shan put his hands in his long sleeves.
He knew Shi He's abilities very well, so he needed to pay special attention to what the other party said, but...
"How do I know that you're not saying this because you're lazy and want to take it easy?"
Shihe's ability makes him the best candidate for becoming the head of a family. His ability, which is almost like foreknowledge, is enough to help the Yamada Asaemon family overcome difficulties one after another, and there is no need to worry that the Yamada Asaemon family will decline. However, there is a reason why Shihe is ranked third. His personality determines that he cannot become the head of a family.
He was too lazy and too obsessed with pleasure. If he became the head of the family and the person in charge of Yamada Asaemon, he would probably leave most of the things to his subordinates and go out to play in the flower streets.
Even if he didn't become the head of the family, even when they were just getting along, Shihe would procrastinate and perfunctorily deal with things, and would never take the initiative to do anything. This time, he also went to the island, and it was Wei Shan who forced Shihe to come over.
Shi He: "Wei Shan, look over there, the Buddha statues are all out. Combined with the information we knew earlier, this is definitely a battle between gods and Buddhas, okay?"
The Buddha statue was bathed in light, and it looked like a demon-slaying Arhat. It was not like a clay statue in a temple, worshipped by villagers. Instead, it looked like it was trying to subdue demons.
There is a snake under the ground of Penglai. Even the most knowledgeable person in the family, Sentai, is still trapped on the island. But the Yamada Asaemon family is a large family after all, and there are still related people inside. Although not as proficient and comprehensive as Sentai, it is still possible to interpret these things.
Wei Shan fell silent, because he knew. Instead, he was worried that he was no longer a young man, and had lost the fearless contempt for everything and the mentality that he could do anything.
"Sir Weishan, let me be the vanguard." Yamada Asaemon Shuxian stepped forward and said.
As the second son of the Yamada Asaemon family, although he has character flaws like Juhe, his special qualities include loyalty and fighting ability.
If it weren't for these advantages, Shuxian wouldn't be the second.
Wei Shan did not answer him immediately, but Shu Xian did not dare to get angry. This reckless young man admired Wei Shan very much, or rather, Wei Shan was respected by most members of the Yamada Asaemon family. Of course, it was also obvious who this small group referred to.
"Let's get off the ship, those ninjas. Follow my orders. If you disobey, you will be killed without mercy."
The one eye revealed a ruthless look. Carrying the order of the shogun, he had no way back. After entering the underground palace and seeing the huge body, he was already involved. In such a high-level game, Yamada Asaemon Nozen - no, it should be said that the entire Yamada Asaemon family, are just ants.
The same goes for the ninjas from the ninja village. Kill the next batch of death row prisoners and seek a chance to go to the island. Wei Shan didn't care what secrets were hidden behind this.
As long as you can use it for yourself.
Getting off the ship was like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, and everyone showed off their magical powers. The black-clad ninjas jumped off the ship one by one, without the need to use wooden ladders or anything like that.
Instead, the warriors had to get off the ship in an orderly manner.
It seems that the difference between the two is based on this performance, but the samurai don't care at all. Maybe the samurai can't compare to the ninja in this aspect, but in the fight of life and death, the ninja is far inferior to the samurai.
"During this operation, follow my command and do not act arbitrarily." Wei Shan reminded everyone. Compared with the coldness of commanding the ninja, his words now were a little gentler, showing the demeanor of a great man.
Everyone started to move, and in the outer Yingzhou area, they could encounter monsters with human elements. However, these monsters were weak and were quickly eaten like lettuce in front of the army, and a large number of corpses were piled on the ground.
The Kitchen God is not a threat. The Door God is a little dangerous, but a single ninja is not a means for the Door God. Not every ninja is called Huameimaru, otherwise Wuxin's name Huameimaru would not be so widely known.
If one ninja is not enough, then multiple ninjas will come together. Ninjas never care about morality. For those who assassinate in the dark, morality is an incomparable luxury.
What's more...the ninja village that bred these ninjas is an extremely perverted place.
And the warriors? The one rushing in the front was called Shuxian. In the original novel, this guy was a genius who could compete with Lian. Of course, at that time, Lian, as a true immortal, did not really fight. Most of his attention was still on the ship, so he was suppressed by him in terms of performance. When he really got into it, Lian crushed the combined forces of Huameiwan and Shuxian. Shihe even judged that even with him, he could not beat Lian and gave up.
There is no difference between the Door God and the Kitchen God, at least in Shuxian. They are both killed instantly by a single blow, so how can there be any difference?
Onward, onward, onward!
Shu Xian's mind was completely empty. He was not the commander of this operation. With Lord Wei Shan behind him, he only had to obey his orders. Lord Wei Shan would not make mistakes!
So, just be a sharp blade.
"what?"
Suddenly, Shuxian felt an imbalance. When he thought it was an illusion, a bigger wave came from the ground.
The earth began to shake, the ground began to crack, and the trees lost their leaves due to the shaking.
"Earthquake, everyone please be safe."
The ninjas were much quicker at this time. But the samurai were not bad either, they all looked for the best place to hide. Only Shihe stood there motionless, but he didn't care about him.
Wei Shan didn't care. He didn't know who was the first person to die among this group of people, but the last person to die was definitely Shi He.
“It wasn’t an earthquake, it was just Him coming out.”
Perhaps the great god of the kingdom had unlocked the blockade. Shi He saw the next scene in advance. So he looked up at the sky in the distance.
Above the ground of Penglai, a gigantic dragon leaped out from the ground, its long coiled body unfolded, and it was so vast and boundless that it dominated the entire sky.
The length of the body suppressed the brilliant golden light, and the head was visible but not the tail, making the Buddha statue look so small.
The great god of the kingdom escaped from his predicament.
Chapter 734: The Aftermath of the Battle and the Resurrected Person
The sound of the dragon's roar resounded throughout the world, like thunder in the sky, frightening all things.
Under the background of the Buddha's light, the dragon's black scales sparkled, and its piercing eyes showed its brilliance.
God, escaped.
This is as it should be. This is the purpose of our group.
Yamada Asaemon Sakiri adjusted his rapid breathing. Standing on the wall between the Penglai area and the Houzhang area, he was suddenly glad that he had escaped.
Fear appeared in my heart. For me, I knew that God was powerful, but I could never convert the words into pictures in my mind. But now, the real picture appeared in my mind. Because I have witnessed such a picture.
The entire Penglai area was destroyed again. With the escape of the great god, the ground in the entire area was like a huge earthquake, and all of it fell into a huge hole. The ground was cracked, the buildings collapsed, and dust filled the sky, filling the entire area. Looking down from a high place, you can see that the magnificent buildings were burned to ashes.
Just escaping from the trap caused a disaster as severe as an earthquake. Could this be the legendary earth dragon turning over?
Taking a deep breath, her heartbeat stopped being so intense. Zouche looked at the others. Most of them were immersed in their emotions. When the Okuninushi God escaped, they had just reached the city wall like her. Soon, she saw a dark object breaking out of the ground. The huge body comparable to a mountain appeared in front of her. The black scales reflecting the light were not much smaller than a person.
"Everyone who stayed in the Penglai area died. We must go to the flower immediately. According to Hachiman Bodhisattva, when the Okuninushi God is freed, the safest place is around the flower."
The seal of the great god can be roughly divided into three parts. The entire Penglai area is the main seal, followed by the inside of the two storm barriers that serve as fulcrums. These are all arrangements made after Xu Fu's death...
Even if the Okuninushi God escapes, it only opens the seal of the Penglai area. The two pillars still bind the Okuninushi God. According to the previous instructions of the Bodhisattva, the Okuninushi God can leave Penglai now, but his range of activities is limited to the entire island. Therefore, he needs to escape to a safe place.
Zuo Qi followed Hua Mei Wan down from the city wall. This wall divided the inside and outside, and the inner Penglai became a sunken area, as if a huge hole in the ground had collapsed. Inside the sunken area, liquid continued to emerge from the cracks. It was unknown whether it was sea water or fresh water. But, no matter what, it was no longer suitable for human survival. The abbot outside still maintained a quiet atmosphere, and the wonderful double scenery was enough to be called a spectacle.
Everyone still remembers the way here. As for the Yazuo brothers who had already escaped, no one cares about them anymore. In the Penglai area that has become like that, they are probably dead together with those Taoists. Even if they successfully escape from the Penglai area, they can still meet them later. Now on the entire island, the only two safe places are inside the two storm barriers. If they were on Hua's side, they could definitely catch the brothers.
Sakiri made the above judgment. As a member of Yamada Asaemon, he was still considering Yamada Asaemon's responsibilities. Only a young man like Sakiri could have such a conscientious attitude.
As for the others…who cares so much after being involved in myths and legends.
Not long after everyone left, a battle broke out. The fight between the giant dragon and the Buddha was like a battle between gods. Golden light and black fog entangled, and the shock wave of the collapse spread out, rolling up the ground and raising dust. From time to time, there were gusts of evil wind, which gathered into a tornado and absorbed everything around.
It was a mythical war, in which wind, rain, thunder and lightning all became means of fighting each other, and things that seemed like natural disasters on ordinary days became commonplace.
Zuo Qie looked back from time to time, even if the dust was blowing in his face and the golden light was shining in his eyes. He couldn't suppress his curiosity and watched for a while.
This was a mythical war, a microcosm of the Age of Gods. The abilities that humans had recorded in books, exaggerated to the point of being almost fake, reappeared before people’s eyes.
As the two fought, the weather changed. Clouds appeared in the sky that was as bright as day, and then a light drizzle began to fall.
Who could have imagined that fighting could cause climate change? Throughout history, countless wars have been lost to the weather. If we could control the wind and rain, the outcome of those wars might have changed.
Gradually, everyone got used to the sound of explosions. If everyone was not very skilled, even Ru Hai was a skilled fighter after special training, otherwise the aftermath would have killed her.
The battle between gods is so terrifying; it is a battlefield that ordinary people cannot participate in.
The toes left footprints on the sand, and with the light rain, the desert began to moisten. It became difficult to walk, and Xiantai used magic at this time to make everyone walk briskly.
After learning about Gang's death, the chubby Mr. Xiantai seems to have changed a lot. The relationship between him and Miss Gang must have been very good, otherwise he wouldn't have changed so much.
Zoche stood in the misty drizzle. After paying attention for a while, her curiosity became heavy again. She could feel that the rain was getting heavier. What was the result of the mythical battle? Could the Bodhisattva really make that final move?
"Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger. This is the saying on the mainland. Since ancient times, the movement of clouds and rain has been under the jurisdiction of the Dragon King. This rain is most likely the work of the Great Lord God. I just don't know what the heavier rain means."
Raindrops fell on his head, making his hair stick to his cheeks. Xiantai's glasses were covered with fog. The road ahead became hazy, so he simply took off his glasses. Anyway, he had already seen the storm barrier that penetrated the sky, and the destination was not far away.
Zuo Qie heard Shi Yuan saying, "Leave it all to the Bodhisattva. The current situation has nothing to do with us. Also... is there some commotion in the Yingzhou region?"
Watching from a distance, you can see that in the Yingzhou area, the originally huge door gods look like little men, but they are taller than the trees and can still be seen falling straight down.
However, no matter what happened over there, it was far better to hide in the Storm Wall. Zuo Qie wanted to guess what was found over there, but under the command of Mr. Shiyuan, everyone entered the Storm Wall.
Who could have imagined that a barrier created by a storm could become a shelter?
Entering the fortress, one can still see the huge flower. Now one can see that it is as huge as the Okuninushi God when he unfolds his body.
When everyone entered the Storm Wall, Zuo Qi was stunned. His eyes suddenly widened as if he had seen something incredible.
Not far from the entrance, a bonfire could be seen burning. Around the bonfire, two people sat, one wearing a crescent-white Taoist robe, and the other was a companion that everyone was familiar with.
——Yes, that’s the bar.
