Chapter 396: The Qilin's Night Walk
The foundation of the priesthood was robbed in large numbers, which was something that was even more difficult for the two gods to accept than killing them!
If we simply kill them, even if their divine weapons are destroyed, as long as their names of gods are still remembered and the Huai River and the Qi River do not dry up, there is always a possibility that they will be able to return, unless new gods of the Huai River and the Qi River appear.
And Zhou Tieyi is now replacing them and becoming the new god of Huaihe and Qishui!
The two gods immediately made a decision that was in the best interest of themselves. They took the initiative to disappear in the vast will of heaven and earth. As they disappeared, Zhou Tieyi's action to steal the divine power suddenly stopped.
"How stingy!"
Zhou Tieyi complained in his heart that if he was given a few more dozen breaths, he would be able to completely obtain the divine power of the Huai River and the Qi River. By then, he could re-condense the divine weapon, control the two rivers, and cooperate with the water authority of Pingjindu and Panyang Lake. Once he marched into the Luo River, his divine power would expand rapidly, controlling three rivers and one lake and connecting one-third of the water system of Daxia, which would be enough to establish the foundation of a first-class divine court of the Shinto!
Of course, this is the most ideal state. Even now, I have gained a lot. Not only can I continue to refine the Huaihe River and the Qishui River slowly according to the remaining authority, but I have also gained some insights into the second-grade "Yi Xuan Ji" and a lot of secrets about the Northern and Southern Five Dynasties.
At the same time, even if someone wants to resurrect Huaihe and Qishui gods in the future, because he is now the living Huaihe and Qishui gods, even if not in a complete state, the power will be directed to him first. Without his permission, resurrection will be almost impossible to succeed!
Zhou Tieyi looked at Yuan Tong. Yuan Tong's situation was extremely complicated at this moment. First of all, because of the long-term integration of the power of heaven and earth veins, this dragon cave was blocked, so that the body behind him was connected to the veins. Then, he used the method of pacifying the people and borrowed the will of heaven and earth that was beyond his own ability, so that he could wash away the will of the two gods of Huaihe River and Qishui.
Now the will of heaven and earth began to backfire on him, making his mind dazed. Severely injured, he could no longer control his trend of becoming a Taoist.
More importantly, the two gods of Huaihe River and Qishui River transformed themselves with the help of the dragon veins. Now they were killed on the spot, which was equivalent to killing the dragon veins on the spot. In addition, the river water eroded the underground cave, and the God-Slaying Department stabilized the underground veins. Now this dragon cave has become a huge funnel. As long as Yuantong leaves the Hedao state, Pingjindu will start to collapse from here, and the terrain of the entire Pingjindu will be completely changed.
Yuan Tong thought it through at once. Even if he was lucky enough to stop his transformation into Taoism, he would only drag his broken body around for another ten years, and would have to face the vigilance of many malicious forces. It would be better to use his broken body to fill up the dragon's lair. The merits and luck he would gain would be enough to protect his elder brother.
Under the dual erosion of Confucianism and the will of heaven and earth, Yuan Tong did not immediately withdraw from the state of pacifying the people. Instead, his body grew larger and larger, filling the entire underground cave bit by bit.
With the guidance of the power of the will of heaven and earth contained in Yuantong, the violent earth veins no longer scattered, but surged towards this place. More earth veins were like tree roots, merging with Yuantong, and the thick soil formed a embankment to resist the rushing river.
Yuan Tong lowered his head and looked at Zhou Tieyi, "Please tell my brother, Lord Zhou..."
Before Yuan Tong could finish his emotional speech, Zhou Tieyi interrupted him and said, "You must have become stupid from practicing Confucianism and Taoism."
After he finished speaking, he pulled out a large amount of remaining dragon vein luck from the fallen body in front of him. Zhou Tieyi took a look at this luck, then threw it to Yuan Tong and shouted, "The body comes from dust and returns to dust, and the heart of the ape is trained to be like the heart of elixir. If you don't understand it now, when will you understand it!"
His voice was like a loud bell, stirring up Yuan Tong's will to survive. Yuan Tong opened his huge mouth and swallowed a lot of dragon vein luck into his stomach. Five-colored light bloomed between Zhou Tieyi's eyebrows, and a large tripod with two ears and three legs, half real and half virtual, fell into the void.
Yuan Tong leaped into the cauldron, Zhou Tieyi sat cross-legged in the void, stretched out his hand and pointed, and the red and white interwoven Red Emperor flames rose up. He pointed again, and the three forces of moonlight, earth veins, and water veins poured into it continuously. The fire in the furnace boiled, and in harmony with the tides of the will of heaven and earth, dragon seals from the void fell into the cauldron one after another.
Thirty-six natural dragon seals took shape and fell on Yuan Tong, who had been refined into a stubborn stone in the cauldron.
Seventy-two transformations [Repairing the Earth]. Zhou Tieyi stood up and waved his sleeves, "Go, go, go, see you in half a century."
The stubborn stone, shaped like a monkey, flew out of the cauldron and landed in a deep and dark cave where the dragon vein had been lost. With the stubborn stone filling the cave, the entire earth vein began to be guided over. The land in front of them not only did not collapse downwards, but instead bulged outwards little by little.
At this time, on the battlefield outside, the Confucians and the people from the God-Slaying Department had already wiped out the remaining fleeing dragons. The gods closed the entrance to the dream and evacuated Pingjindu. The fog dissipated, and the river water dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. The rocks piled up to form small hills. Suddenly, colorful light broke out from the ground, and the five elements of ancestral qi gathered in the sky to form auspicious clouds, which spread from the sky above the hills to the surroundings, covering almost one-eighth of Pingjindu. For a moment, it seemed as if the will of heaven and earth was rejoicing.
The next moment, a Qilin leaped out, its hooves stepping on five-colored flames as it rose into the sky. On its back sat a heroic young man, holding a spear in one hand and a strange three-meter-long half-dragon, half-human corpse in the other. Behind it, eight moon phases appeared like pearls, allowing the heroic young man to merge with the bright moon and illuminate the entire Pingjin Ferry.
"Tonight, I will slay the evil dragon of Shintoism at Pingjin Ferry. Great summer, good luck!"
Then he rode on the Moon Phase, traveling between half cloud and half mountain, all the way for seven hundred miles. The bright moonlight passed through the mountains and rivers. Countless people woke up from their dreams, and the first thing they saw when they looked up at the sky was a young man riding on a Qilin, pushing the Moon Phase forward, across the mountains and rivers. The five elements of ancestral qi formed a strong gale, covering the sky for several miles.
Today, once I enter the realm of Zhen Gang, the world will know about the Qilin’s night march!
Hundreds of miles away, Tian Fu, a great scholar of the Mohist school, took off his glasses and pinched the wings of his nose tiredly with his fingers. The limit for him to maintain universal love was a cup of tea. If Zhou Tieyi came back like this, although the speed was a little slower, it would still be within the time of this cup of tea.
The huge moon phase returned to Mo City, and Gongshu Ting complained, "Why don't you return through dreams? That would be faster."
Zhou Tieyi said, "I'm afraid that the gods will set up another ambush in my dream."
"is it?"
Gongshu Ting looked at Zhou Tieyi half puzzled. Although what Zhou Tieyi said made sense, it was only half true. Because Zhou Tieyi was now traveling through dreams and there were many first-grade masters watching him, the probability of the gods taking action was extremely small.
"Ah."
Zhou Tieyi nodded seriously.
Father Tian raised his hand. He didn't care about this question. He was more curious about the many suspicious points in today's battle, especially the thick fog that blocked the river surface at that time. How could it compete with the moonlight controlled by Zhou Tieyi? What was hidden under the river?
"What's going on down there?"
When Zhou Tieyi heard Tian's father's question, he had already made up an excuse in his mind and said with a sigh, "Master, this is a long story..."
