Chapter 359 Dreaming for 400 years

“Sister, you are here!”

When the sky clears up after snow, an august young general on a rare warhorse of Nihon is s.h.i.+ning in the sun. Edo is flooded, and blood is everywhere in the General’s Office. However, they have no impact on this teenager. Of course, he is Lin Luodong.

Luodong doesn’t forget who he is?

Lin Luoran wants to ask him a lot of questions. She is also worried about Huang Weijian since she doesn’t see him.

Lin Luodong holds the reins, “Tokugawa Ieyasu, you have dreamed for four hundred years. Now you still don’t want to wake up?! Do you really want these puppets to put on a good show of conquering Edo?”

The flawless sky has cracked and light from the real world is about to pour down at any time.

Fire phoenix destroyed the black statue so this perfect dream now has a crack. That’s also the reason why Lin Luodong can subjugate Edo with Toyotomi Hideyori’s army—this is something that has never happened in the history of Nihon or in the memory of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

“You guys push me on this. Whoever is standing in my way must die!” Tokugawa Ieyasu’s pupils are all black and his anger is burning. The clear sky gradually darkens. A monster with eight heads and eight tails suddenly appears above the General’s Office.

Its eyes are red, its back is full of moss and trees, and its chest is bleeding and festering. There is a cloud floating above its head, which is going to rain any time. The sky becomes dark because of its huge body as big as a mountain shutting out the light of the sun, as well as the misty cloud above its head.

“Yamata no Orochi!”

Lin Luoran and many other people here all recognize this monster. It’s aggressive Yamata no Orochi in Nihonese mythology which represents the “flooding river”. It wags its tails. Then Lin Luoran realizes it has raised up many people with its tails.

Among those hostages, Lin Luoran knows people like Huang Weijian, Cui Hejian, and Sixie in the Mu family. As for those she doesn’t know, they must be the Chinese tour group and several international students who have initially disappeared.

This monster probably won’t catch missing Nihonese to threaten Lin Luoran—she is not a woman with a strong international aid spirit.

“Orochi, you have tried so hard to lead me here. Do you just want to show me how good Tokugawa Ieyasu is at making dreams?” Lin Luoran’s body is very small compared to that of Yamata no Orochi. But her momentum is not less than its.

Quoting from arrogant fire phoenix, she is still a “true G.o.d”. Orochi is just a semi-finished monster that does everything it can to earn the name of G.o.d. Even if she may lose this battle, she will never lose her momentum. First of all, she can’t back down before she has the opportunity to survive.

“Little Huaxia cultivator, since you know I led you here, you still chose to be the leader with your personal ability of only Bearing Essence. You people from Huaxia never learn anything.” It says one sentence and then moves its head around during the pause. It continually uses different mouths to speak and its sound comes from several directions like thunder. Mr. Lin, Yuan Ye, and Ye Xiaobei are weak in personal ability so they all feel a thrill.

Lin Luodong even falls off the horse. Mr. Lin catches him and lets him stand at his side.

But ordinary people like Lin Qingxue and surviving shogunate samurais in the courtyard feel nothing.

Lin Luoran is not hurt but still mocks it, “You mischievous water monster also wants to deify yourself. Do you really think all G.o.ds in heaven are dead and Tao of nature can do nothing to you?!”

Orochi stretches out his second head and says in a m.u.f.fled voice, “After four hundred years of hard work, I only have a 50 percent chance. Luckily, you come to me yourself and now I am definitely sure of my success.”

A fresh breeze brings Lin Luoran in the air. She strolls on clouds and looks down at Yamata no Orochi from a higher position.

“Four hundred years ago, you persuaded Tokugawa Ieyasu to expand the Hongu Sengen Grand Shrine at the top of Mount Fuji. Taking advantage of it, you turned the derelict Sengen Grand Shrine into your own Taoist field and began to steal the power of faith belonging to the G.o.ddess of Mount Fuji, Konohananosakuyahime. You want to deify yourself in this way, am I right?”

The blood on Yamata no Orochi’s festering chest is so fetid and it even looks uglier when the monster is twisting its body.

The stinking smell spread with its twisting head.

“That b.i.t.c.h sealed me under Mount Fuji. How can taking her G.o.dhead become my fault?”

Lin Luoran laughs softly, “Now I haven’t mentioned anything about what’s right or wrong. The dream you made has gathered all the dark sides of wishes. If the core of making this dream awakes, what will happen? You can have a guess.”

The core of making the dream is definitely Tokugawa Ieyasu who has been turned off his six senses by Orochi!

Bright light gathers at Lin Luoran’s fingertips, the vitality of wood, the lightness of water, the heat of fire, the mellowness of earth, and the sharpness of gold.

This is a Wakan bomb without a certain proportion of five elements Wakan. A Reiki bomb of a lower level was once used on Xin Yuanping. The five elements Reiki or Wakan of a higher level are very dangerous when the elements are disproportionate.

Orochi smiles so hard that all its eight heads are shaking and tails are swinging around, making the “hostages” caught by its tails look be in danger.

“Little cultivator, you want to use the mutual repulsion of the five elements to deal with me. Don’t you worry about hurting these people?”

The true mingles with the false and the dream mingles with the reality. Orochi is confident that Lin Luoran will not make another move. The power of the explosion of Wakan bead is unpredictable and people on her own side are very likely to be injured.

Lin Luoran shows a somewhat weird smile, as if Orochi has told a funny joke.

She lifts the “Five Elements Wakan bead” with her hand and is ready to throw it out. Orochi has to be vigilant. It is not afraid that Lin Luoran will injure anyone, but is worried that the explosion will awaken Tokugawa Ieyasu whose six senses have been turned off. If so, its hard work for four hundred years will be ruined. Even with Lin Luoran, the existing “true G.o.d” as compensation, it still can’t make up for the power of faith gathered before!

A G.o.d without the power of faith is as weak as the Huaxia female cultivator who can only be under its control.

Lin Luoran’s strange smile is even bigger and she suddenly throws the bead—

“How dare you!” Orochi is furious. Its large and fierce-looking mouth wants to bite Lin Luoran while its tails dragging behind tightens all of a sudden. In a blink of an eye, it can crush all hostages trapped by its tails. What’s more, its another tail reaches to the Five Elements Wakan bead, trying to stop it from exploding.

At this moment, Lin Luoran and hostages are all in danger. It seems that the Five Elements Wakan bead will not explode as expected under this circ.u.mstance. Will Lin Luoran’s all efforts fail this way?

All people who can’t fight owing to their low personal ability have made their own great efforts.

Lin Qingxue aims at the head that is about to bite Lin Luoran and fires without hesitation.

With the help of Yuan Ye, Mr. Lin jumps up, trying to slash Yamata’s tail that is going to crush the “hostages”!

Yuan Ye and Ye Xiaobei attempt to cast the Water Spell together to freeze the water under Orochi and slow it down—

They all have tried their best but they are still too weak.

…

The turning point is the Five Elements Wakan bead. At the moment when everyone is fighting, the bead suddenly changes its direction and turns round.

A golden bird jumps out nearby. It’s Goldie which has been hiding for a long time and holding its cards!

Goldie grabs the Wakan bead with its long beak. With its wings flapping, it is like lightning and then reappears dozens of feet away.

“In the northern ocean there is a fish, called the k’un, I do not know how many thousand li in size. This k’un changes into a bird, called the p’eng. Its back is I do not know how many thousand li in breadth. When it is moved, it flies, its wings obscuring the sky like clouds… the water is smitten for a s.p.a.ce of three thousand li around, while the bird itself mounts upon a great wind to a height of ninety thousand li.”

In the past, k’un and p’eng itself can mount upon a great wind to a height of ninety thousand li.

Goldie is not k’un and p’eng. It is just a young golden hawk. However, it is the king of golden hawks!

Goldie grabs the Wakan bead and disappears out of everyone’s sight. It is heading for the snow-capped Mount Fuji.

Orochi is so shocked that it doesn’t bite Lin Luoran successfully. What is waiting for its head is the whistling Wakan bullet of Lin Qingxue which will always. .h.i.t its target.

The bullet blows up in the middle of Yamata’s forehead. For its gigantic body, such an attack is very small and insignificant. But for ordinary people Lin Qingxue, this shot can hit right in the middle of its eyes when Orochi is still twisting. She is very proud of herself!

Its head stops for a moment and Lin Luoran is no longer here.

Ye Xiaobei and Yuan Ye also work together like mosquitoes: although they are weak, they can still make Orochi feel uncomfortable.

Orochi really wants to slap these two “little bugs” to death immediately.

The most important blow is Mr. Lin’s formidable sword. He slashes at Yamata’s tail trapping people.

The blade of the grade three magic weapon has been infused with all Mr. Lin’s Reiki. It is invincible now and can cut Yamata’s tail. Although the tail is not totally cut off, the spouting blood has stained a large area of water.

Orochi is in great pain and let’s go of the “hostages” trapped by its tails.

A gentle breeze rolls in. Lin Luoran uses the spell and puts everyone safely on the ground behind.

Did it succeed? They are all exhausted and don’t know where the courage of working together comes from.

Working as a team, they actually free hostages from Orochi. They feel like a dream when they see Orochi twisting because of the pain.
