"But the Dragon King of Luanshi Mountain is a kind of immortal god. He can move the clouds and see the sun, can call the wind and rain, and has vast magical powers. But we are just mortal bodies. If we fight against the Dragon King, we will only lose our lives in vain." Lin Jiu frowned for a moment, then said worriedly.

As soon as Lin Jiu said these words, the angry crowd around him also remembered the huge gap between humans and gods, and immediately calmed down. What he sensed was the magical power that had just become active in Lining City. , and suddenly it fell silent again.

Suddenly, Lin Jiu suddenly noticed a gaze falling on him.

He followed his eyes and looked over, and the person looking at him was the person who had stirred people's hearts just now.

But what made Lin Jiu strange was that even though he was already making such trouble, the man looked at him with a look that was not vigilant, but rather looked at one of his own.

"Something's wrong, there's something wrong." Lin Jiu's eyes twitched.

"What this friend said makes sense." The man who stirred people's hearts nodded. "When I met the mage of Jinguang Temple earlier, I also asked the mage of Jinguang Temple this way."

"At that time, I thought, even if the enemy is strong and I am weak, for the welfare of future generations, even if I give up these old bones, it is still worth it."

"Unexpectedly, I am so rare that I don't know the mercy of Master Jinguang Temple." The man clasped his hands together and sang in front of his chest.

"Everyone, the mage of Jinguang Temple has said that we only need to do one thing to fight against the demon dragon this time."

"The mage has already calculated that the demonic dragon sent the water-dividing general to come, hoping that on February 2 next year, when the dragon raises its head, the water will flood Lining City, so as to harmonize the power of heaven and earth, and take advantage of the situation to go further."

"Lining City flooded?"

"What's wrong with this!" People were panicked for a moment.

Everyone was filled with fear as they heard the overwhelming flood situation.

The most poisonous thing in the world is fire and water. After a fight between fire and water, everything turns white and black. No matter whether you are rich or powerful, you can only lament in the face of fire and water.

"When we were ancestors, we also paid homage to the Dragon King. Speaking of which, we are all somewhat in love with the incense. How about we go to the Dragon King Temple to burn incense sticks for the Dragon King to admit our mistake. If the Dragon King is not merciful, we will bypass it. We are in Lining City, or maybe, seeing our sincerity, the Dragon Prince can guarantee that our Lining City will have good weather in the future." Lin Jiu glanced around and lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being overheard.

This was something that no one dared to mention in the past, but when it came out of Lin Jiu, a 'foreigner', no one dared to accuse him.

Everyone is considering Lin Jiu's words - compared with the monstrous flood that can drown several generations in one breath and the efforts of more than ten generations, to welcome the Dragon Prince back, even if it means sacrificing every year, but It doesn't seem unacceptable.

After all, it's the lesser of two evils.

Next to him, the man who stirred people's hearts looked at Lin Jiu, who also touched people's hearts with words, and his heart was also filled with emotion - he was the clerk in charge of documents and files in Lining City.

He couldn't help but recall the mission that the mages of Jinguang Temple privately issued to them - to spread rumors in the city, causing the people of Lining City to despair, making them desperate, and leaving them with no other support except Jinguang Temple. .

He was still struggling before, how to make people in a city despair, how to make people in a city desperate, but unexpectedly, Lin Jiu appeared like this.

[As expected of a mage, he is really clever and thoughtful. This foreigner must have been arranged by the mage. 】

The man was thinking, and he promised that one of him and Lin Jiu would give hope, and the other would extinguish hope. The two of them would definitely be able to perfectly complete the tasks assigned by the Master of Jinguang Temple by singing together.

"Offering incense? Where do you go to offer incense? That demonic dragon's temple has been demolished for who knows how long. How dare you go to offer incense? You are really not afraid that after communicating with the demonic dragon, you will be swallowed up by the demonic dragon first. ?" Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heightened by Lin Jiu, and some people were even arguing privately about where the nearest Dragon King Temple was, the official finally spoke and told an extremely desperate fact. .

There are temples of the Bibo Dragon King, but that was in the past - since the last war with the Jinguang Temple and the All Saints Dragon King retreated from the Rock Mountain, the temple of the All Saints Dragon King outside has been almost completely demolished.

Human beings are extremely utilitarian creatures, especially when faced with gods, demons and ghosts. When they need anything, they can worship any demon or ghost, but when it is not effective enough, they can also throw away any gods from a distance. Just like just now, these people who have worshiped Jinguang Temple for tens or hundreds of years have all thought of giving up Jinguang Temple.

In the past, the people of Lining City respected the All Saints Dragon King because the All Saints Dragon King could bring them good weather. But after their prayers were not answered for decades and hundreds of years, naturally no one would go to the All Saints Dragon King again. Pray that even the temple of the All Saint Dragon King will be demolished and rebuilt into a place to worship other gods.

As the saying goes, people compete for a breath, and gods compete for a stick of incense. For a sacred person, having temples demolished and statues smashed is tantamount to the greatest humiliation.

The people of Lining City, who had done all this, had no time to hide all this from the All Saints Dragon King, and how could they dare to expose all this to the All Saints Dragon King.

This means that the escape route that these people imagined, to bow before the All Saint Dragon King again, is a destined dead end from the beginning.

——At least in the eyes of these human races, this is a dead end.

"Then what should we do now?" Everyone in the tea shop became panicked, and the comments they exchanged with each other quickly spread in all directions, and soon spread throughout Lining City.

Compared with the announcement issued by Lining City, the residents of Lining City obviously believe more in the results of their own 'discussions'.

Therefore, not long after, the entire Lining City was already shrouded in a gloomy cloud.

So at this time, the people sent by Jinguang Temple to Lining City finally appeared.

Buddha's light and Sanskrit chants rise together.

Then golden lotuses sprouted from the ground, and golden flowers fell from the sky.

After a while, eighteen more monks, big and small, came out from various temples, slowly arriving with lotus flowers growing step by step.

Lin Jiu quietly glanced at it with his magic eye - the Buddha's light and Sanskrit chant were partly true, but the heavenly flower and golden lotus were completely illusions, but they were enough to deceive those mortal mortals.

"Amitabha, good is good." Eighteen golden reflective braised eggs stood at the highest point of Lining City, clasping their hands and saluting everyone in Lining City. They were all dignified.

Coupled with that Buddha's light, that Sanskrit chant, that day flower, that golden lotus - it is simply a divine monk, a holy monk.

Even if Lin Jiu looked down on these 'bare people', he had to praise them at this time to make them look good.
