Nanling City.
Qin Luo and the others walked to the city square.
In the middle of the square stands a tall statue of the Suzaku God. The statue is in a state of mutilation, with broken wings, cracks all over its body, and a lot of garbage around it.
There was an old woman holding a broom.
She cleans the garbage around the idol.
Xiaotuanzi stared at the Suzaku statue. There was a blazing fire in her eyes, and flame lines appeared between her eyebrows, like a bird raising its head proudly.
"So tired!"
Xiaotuanzi suddenly fell down.
Qin Luo reached out and grabbed Xiaotuanzi's dull hair, preventing her from falling to the ground.
Watching Xiaotuanzi close her eyes, Qin Luo shook her hair and said softly: "If a person can always be pure, the world and the earth will return. Hold the Yuan and guard one, concentrate and calm down."
The Qing Jing Sutra rang in Xiao Tuanzi's mind, and she woke up suddenly, sweat breaking out on her forehead.
Qin Luo let go of Xiaotuanzi's dull hair.
Xiaotuanzi pointed at the Suzaku statue and frowned, "Boss, this statue is really evil. I just saw it in my mind and my head was buzzing."
"This is Suzaku. You have his bloodline in your body. You will have a special reaction when you see him."
Qin Luo didn't notice the fluctuation of his soul.
This is an ordinary Suzaku statue.
"Is he my ancestor?"
"The probability that Suzaku is your ancestor is not high. He should not have descendants as weak as you. It is probably because your ancestors received some of Suzaku's divine blood."
"Ouch!"
Xiaotuanzi was a little disappointed.
I thought I could be related to Suzaku.
When the old woman saw the little dumpling with the red bird pattern on her forehead, goosebumps spread all over her body. She wanted to kneel down and salute, but was held up by a gust of breeze.
Qin Luo chuckled and said, "No need to be polite."
The old woman looked at Xiaotuanzi and said excitedly: "You...you are...the Great God Suzaku!"
"Hey, no!"
Xiaotuanzi shook his head with a smile.
The old woman looked at Qin Luo, with awe in her eyes and her voice trembling as she spoke, "It is said that the Suzaku God will come to the world at the same time as the sky. You are..."
"I'm Qin Luo."
Qin Luo said with a smile.
When they were at the Sword Dao Temple, Taoist Master Qingxu said something similar to Qin Luo: Suzaku was born and a great disaster was coming.
No wonder Taoist Priest Qingxu asked them to come to Nantian Peak. There are indeed secrets hidden here.
Qin Luo said with a smile: "Old man, what kind of god is Suzaku in your eyes?"
The old woman was holding a broom. She looked back at the statue of the Suzaku God with awe in her eyes. "Many years ago, there was a particularly serious disaster in the south, which led to the loss of life. It was the Suzaku God who saved us. He is our patron saint."
Xiaotuanzi looked at the garbage on the ground and wondered: "Since Suzaku saved you, why don't you worship him and throw garbage at him?"
The old woman shook her head helplessly and couldn't help but sigh, "Nanling City has been suffering from drought all year round, and there is no grass growing in many places. In addition, when Nanling City fell, the Great Suzaku did not help. Many people felt that the Great Suzaku had abandoned us."
"That's it!"
Xiaotuanzi suddenly realized.
"Then why do you still believe in Him?"
The old woman smiled kindly and said softly: "Our family has been blessed by the Suzaku God before, and our ancestors have sworn to worship the Suzaku God from generation to generation."
"Then you are quite unlucky. The oath sworn by our ancestors still involves you." Xiaotuanzi complained.
"..."
The old woman didn't know how to answer.
Qin Luo bowed and said, "Sorry to bother you."
"No no."
The old woman smiled and shook her head. She felt that Qin Luo and the others were not simple. The ancient legend was probably true.
Qin Luo and the others left Nanling City.
Outside the city was a deserted place.
Qin Luo saw many people carrying water and watering the fields. Many crops were dying.
The desolation here is not normal. Qin Luo looked at the Nantian Peak in the distance, and there was no grass growing nearby.
This is the smell of destruction.
"Watch it."
Qin Luo said softly.
Shitou and Xiaotuanzi looked at Qin Luo.
Qin Luo raised his hand, and a Bagua diagram appeared in front of him. The two sets of Bagua inside and outside rotated at the same time. When the rotating Bagua diagram stopped, the hurdle was on top and the vibration was on the bottom.
Boom!
Thunder sounded.
Then it started to rain lightly.
Rain fell from the sky, and the people in the fields wept with joy and danced in the rain.
It was also raining in Nanling City. The old woman was hiding from the rain under the eaves. She said excitedly: "It rained on a sunny day. It's amazing!"
Outside the city, it rained continuously and the road became muddy. Qin Luo met a girl in green clothes who was rushing on her way in the rain.
"Girl, wait a minute."
Qin Luo called to stop the girl who was running in embarrassment.
The girl frowned slightly, "Is there something wrong, Taoist Master?"
Qin Luo handed her an oil-paper umbrella and said with a smile: "Take this oil-paper umbrella."
This oil-paper umbrella was given to Qin Luo by a strange girl in Yanyu Ancient Town. Now that he met a strange girl who was also wet in the rain, Qin Luo decided to give this umbrella to her.
The girl didn't want to be soaked in the rain, so she took the oil-paper umbrella with gratitude in her eyes, "Thank you, Taoist Priest."
"You're welcome."
Qin Luo continued walking towards Nantian Peak.
The girl raised her oil-paper umbrella. She raised her head and saw the blooming lotus flowers on the umbrella. She couldn't help but praise: "This oil-paper umbrella is so beautiful."
"Don't know how long it is?"
The girl looked in the direction where Qin Luo left, wanting to ask him what he called him, but they had disappeared into the rain.
Xiaotuanzi is very smart. She hid in Qin Luo's pocket early and didn't get caught in the rain.
Shitou held the black pot in both hands.
Qin Luo walked forward in the rain. He looked at the barren land around him. Rain alone could not save these fields. He activated the principles of wood to bring life to the earth.
…
The setting sun shines in the evening.
A rainbow hangs in the mountains after the rain.
The air is filled with the fragrance of earth.
The originally barren fields became full of life, and the people knelt in the fields and thanked the great god Suzaku, who seemed to them to have appeared.
At the foot of Nantian Peak is the Suzaku Temple.
The Zhuque Temple is full of traces left by the years. Although there is not much incense here, it has never stopped.
Qin Luo walked into the Suzaku Temple with the stone. The temple was deserted. There were many Suzaku totems on the walls, which were similar to the totems that appeared between Xiaotuanzi's eyebrows.
There was an old woman standing in front of the main hall. The old woman was wearing black and red sacrificial clothes. She looked at Qin Luo who suddenly appeared.
Qin Luo smiled and cupped his hands, and said softly: "Dragon and tiger watch Qin Luo, I have seen the seniors."
The wrinkles on the old woman's face were more numerous than those on dry trees. She hunched over and said in a hoarse voice: "Taoist Priest, what are you doing here?"
"Priest Qingxu of Sword Dao Temple asked me to come here to take a look." Qin Luo answered truthfully.
There was light in the old woman's eyes, and she said excitedly: "Did Master Qingxu ask you to help?"
Qin Luo was stunned for a moment. At that time, Taoist Master Qingxu did not ask him to help. He smiled and nodded, "Senior, if this junior can help, I will do my best."
The old woman was overjoyed.
"Is this rain caused by the Taoist priest?"
"Yes."
The old woman looked up at Nantian Peak and said solemnly: "The disaster originated from the top of the mountain! If the disaster cannot be eliminated from the source, all this will be in vain."
Qin Luo looked at the top of the mountain, "Is it a disaster?"
"Years ago, the Heavenly Dao collapsed and the world was in chaos. The Great God Suzaku pacified the turmoil in the south. He paid a huge price for it. Later, disaster appeared, and he used his last strength to seal the disaster on the top of Nantian Peak."
"With the passage of time, the seal of Lord Suzaku is getting weaker and weaker, and the number of followers of Lord Suzaku is getting smaller and smaller. His power is no longer enough to seal the disaster."
After hearing this, Qin Luo walked towards the Suzaku Hall and asked with a smile: "Senior, can I offer a stick of incense?"
"Can."
The old woman smiled and nodded.
Qin Luo walked into the Suzaku Hall, where stood a tall goddess, wearing red armor and looking heroic.
Shitou had awe in his eyes and couldn't help but mutter, "Sister Tuanzi, will you be as powerful as her in the future?"
Xiaotuanzi poked her head out of her pocket. She looked at the Suzaku statue, raised the corners of her mouth, and said confidently on her face: "I will definitely be better than him in the future! Better than him! And more beautiful than him! Hehe!"
The old woman saw the Suzaku lines on Xiaotuanzi's forehead and said excitedly: "What a rich Suzaku bloodline! If you are willing to stay in the Suzaku Temple, we are willing to treat you as a saint!"
"don't want!"
"I want to follow the boss!"
Xiaotuanzi climbed onto Qin Luo's shoulders and sat down. She said with firm eyes: "Even if you give me mountains of gold and silver and endless delicacies, I won't stay here."
Qin Luo put the lit incense into the incense burner.
As the golden smoke rose, Qin Luo bowed and said: "Senior, I'll go to the top of the mountain to take a look first."
The old woman nodded and reminded: "Taoist Master Qin, there are strong restrictions in the mountains. I can't accompany you there, so be careful on the way!"
"good!"
Qin Luo smiled and nodded.
The old woman sent them to the trailhead for climbing the mountain.
Qin Luo walked towards the mountain, Shitou walking behind with a black pot on his back. He felt a lot of pressure, and his feet seemed to be filled with lead.
Shi Shi was walking very slowly, but Qin Luo walked leisurely, with no intention of waiting for him. In order to keep up with Qin Luo, he could only grit his teeth and persist.
Not even halfway up the mountain yet.
The stone fell to the ground.
Qin Luo didn't look back at him.
Shitou chose to leave the black pot and the baggage where they were, reluctantly stood up, and continued walking forward. His speed was so slow that Qin Luo could not be seen.
Qin Luo wanted to exercise the stone, so he didn't encourage him or stay for a moment.
Not long after the stone had gone far, he fell down again. He felt like he was carrying the mountain on his back and it was difficult to move. He didn't give up and kept crawling forward, moving his body little by little.
Mountain top.
There is also a statue of the Suzaku god here.
The wings of this statue hug the top of the mountain.
Qin Luo's heart beat faster. He looked at the middle of the mountain top, where there were blood-red fragments of heaven floating there, sealed by Suzaku with restrictions. Even so, the little energy that overflowed left the surrounding land barren.
