Swish, swish, swish!
More and more figures appear.
Dark Taoist Robe, almost blending in with the darkness.
Ming Shanzi had changed his attire at this time, wearing a navy blue crane cloak with Big Dipper Seven Luminaries embroidered on it, carrying a long sword, and a special leather bag around his waist with bamboo talismans. With his body as clear as a crane, his aura was completely different.
He used to be an immortal, but now he is murderous intent awe-inspiring.
The people next to him all looked extraordinary.
There was a white-haired Old Taoist, tall, with scars all over his face. He did not carry a sword, but held an old Date Wood Law Seal in his right hand. His knuckles were densely covered with cinnabar-soaked lines, which were the marks left by thirty years of thunder method practice...
There is also a Female Taoist, who is nearly thirty years old and has a serious smile. His black hair is fixed with Green Bamboo Section Hairpin. Thirty-six golden needles can be vaguely seen in the bun. Under the Daoist robe, leggings wrapped with talismans are vaguely exposed...
These masters, some of them are from the Cheng family and most of them are from Qingcheng. They rarely show up on weekdays and are responsible for fighting.
However, Li Yan, the leader of the Qingcheng side, knew that it was Ling Yunzi who had led them to visit Qingcheng Mountain before, and now he had officially become the leader of the outing from Guest Receptionist.
Regardless of Ming Shanzi or Ling Yunzi, although they are not the ones in charge, they are considered top-notch in their respective middle-level positions.
But the two of them stood on both sides of the situation very wisely, with a respectful attitude.
Standing in the center is a blind Old Taoist, with shabby robes, withered hair, and age spots on his face, looking like he is about to die.
It is Cheng JianXin, one of Divine Land Top Ten Grandmasters.
His Daoism had declined, and he was in a very bad condition due to previous injuries. His eyes were cloudy and his breath had become weak.
However, no one dares to underestimate it.
They even looked at her secretly with admiring eyes.
Without him, Cheng JianXin's prestige is too great. He single-handedly suppressed Shuzhong for decades, making Qingcheng more famous than Emei.
Whether it is the Cheng family or the Qingcheng Mountain Daoist priest, in their eyes, Cheng JianXin is undoubtedly a god-like existence.
The god who came down from the mountain is also a god!
Next to Cheng JianXin, stood a young man holding a sword. It was Chang Gousheng who challenged Li Yan at that time.
Unlike the others, the young man was still ashen-faced, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with tears, his eyes were evasive, and he looked to the side from time to time.
Cheng JianXin ignored him and faced the river in the distance, feeling the breath carefully.
At this moment, the bright moon is like frost on the river surface. Fish Mouth Water Diversion Dam.
More than 30 watercrafts were linked from stem to stern, all hung with huge red lanterns, dyeing the surrounding river blood red.
It is not yet the first lunar month, and the river wind is biting at night, but the boatmen are all naked from the waist up, exposing their kinked muscles.
"Hey! Samsung Zhaoshui Mansion--"
"Hey! Wu Ding is opening the mountain gate--"
They shouted the ancient Sichuan River Work Song, and used arm-thick hemp ropes to rotate on the keel pulley, sinking pieces of basalt that were several feet square into the middle of the river.
These basalt rocks are carved with a large number of grooves and poured with black glass to form huge runes.
It can be seen vaguely, forming a vertical appearance.
These are the boatmen who came to help from the Salt Gang. They are used to doing hard work, and they are often exposed to the beheading business. But at this moment, no one dared to say anything and asked what they were doing.
The last curious one was buried in the belly of the fish.
There were not only these salt gang men on the ship, but also many soldiers with black armor and black cloaks. They were none other than King of Shu's pro-soldier Black Feather Guard. There were at least a hundred in number. They all held Divine Firearm and looked in all directions warily.
In addition, there are some monks, Daoists and lay people dressed in strange costumes.
They are also from the Southwest evil path that King of Shu has gathered together. Although there are not many in number, they are all the people King of Shu trusts the most.
The leader is Green Robe Old Man.
He was dressed in a Confucian robe, with straight facial features, white and black hair intertwined on his head, and a refined temperament, but standing there, he inexplicably gave people the feeling of a divine soldier on the ship.
Boom!
The boulder fell into the water, causing big waves.
At this time, a magician would grab cinnabar powder mixed with chicken blood, throw it into the river, and chant a curse.
Yin Wind roared all around, and there were vague shadows wandering underwater, but they were all driven away.
"Sure enough, they are tampering with things."
Although Cheng JianXin is blind and his Daoism has declined, Divine Ability is still there and can still feel all this.
He sighed slightly and said with a calm face, "I checked this place many years ago and found nothing."
"Looks like I was careless... check it out!"
After giving the order, several people around him immediately became busy.
"Yes, Patriarch."
The previous Female Taoist handed it over in a deep voice.
Although she is a woman, she is obviously the main force among this group of masters, and her behavior is quite majestic. As she responded, she began to perform kneading with her hands.
Buzz buzz!
The thirty-six golden needles inserted in the bun on the top of his head suddenly trembled, changing with Mystical Gestures, regularly and rhythmically.
At the same time, both ears also moved slightly.
She closed her eyes, the night wind blew her hair, and the distant sounds were amplified infinitely, echoing in her mind.
This is a special technique, specifically used to enhance Ear Mystical Power. It is extremely difficult to practice and can also cause damage. For example, those golden needle instruments have to be pierced into the scalp all year round and warmed with their own Qi blood.
But once successful, it will be like a thousand miles ear.
Unlike Li Yan who can hear the words of ghosts and gods, this Female Taoist, the awakened Ear Mystical Power can listen to the flowing sounds of Celestial Fiend Qi and conduct exploration.
Listening to the voice in her ears, she finally opened her eyes, took out the compass from her arms, grabbed it in the air, and pointed to the compass.
The compass pointer jumped instantly and spun wildly.
"Kan Position changes!"
She looked solemnly and looked to the side, "Qing Xuan, they are setting up an formation underwater. The formation's eye is at Kan Position. There is something there."
"Yes, Master."
Behind her, a young Daoist priest came forward.
This young man had Double Pupils visions in his life, and he was obviously one of the best among the younger generation in Qingcheng. He also pinched Yang Seal with his hand, and then touched his eyebrows with his sword finger.
His Double Pupils seemed to have a sparkle, the whites of his eyes were suddenly bloodshot, and veins popped out on his forehead. He also used the secret method to explore.
This is the foundation of Daoism.
Not only do they have an ancient inheritance, they have accumulated talents from generation to generation, but they also left behind many miraculous skills, which may be a bit unorthodox, but they are absolutely powerful.
Just like this pair of master and apprentice, they specialize in the art of exploration and are the absolute main force in any action.
Others have long been accustomed to it and are waiting with peace of mind.
But they soon discovered something was wrong.
This Double Pupils disciple seemed to have seen something terrible. There was a look of horror in his eyes, and he was trembling all over, but he couldn't move.
This is Nightmare Syndrome, the performance of Zhongshu!
Snap!
Female Taoist behind him immediately made a gesture, slapped him on the back of the head, and yelled at the same time, "Close your eyes!"
This time, he looked like Hong Zhong Da Lu.
The disciple Double Pupils immediately regained consciousness and closed his eyes, not daring to look again. It took a long time before he regained his composure.
Others are not worried.
In magic battles, it is common to miss.
They are experienced and handled it right away without any serious issues.
Sure enough, not long after, disciple Double Pupils's breathing became steady and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Qing Xuan, what did you see?"
Ming Shanzi asked quickly.
"One vertical eye..."
The Double Pupils disciple frowned slightly and said, "It doesn't look like a human eye, but more like a bronze artifact."
As he said this, he picked up a wooden stick and started drawing on the ground.
If Li Yan is here, he will find that this bronze vertical eye is very similar to what he saw in Ghost Qiang ancient village before.
"What is this?"
Others are a little confused.
Only Cheng JianXin said thoughtfully, "I have seen this thing before. Back then, a group of Treasure Hunter from Mystery Exploration Branch were collectively hit by Evil Curse. This eye scar appeared on their bodies, and they all went crazy."
"The leader had this object on his head. I smashed the object and they regained consciousness, but they only had one breath left. When they were dying, they said that they had stolen this object from the tomb of Pre-Qin Mystics. It seemed to be related to ancient Shu and was called 'Ancient Shu Eye'."
"Ancient Shu Eye?"
After the others heard this, they looked at each other.
Although it is said to be the land of Shu, this thing is buried deep underground, and only a few people know about it or have seen it, let alone know its function.
"If you don't know even if you don't know, you have to fight!"
Cheng JianXin turned to look around and said in a deep voice, "According to what Li Xiaozi said, the demon is the alchemist Lu Sheng. He has many connections with the ghost sect and has been hiding in the world for thousands of years without being known to anyone."
"Now that he has appeared, he has been planning for decades, and his plans are not trivial. It may be related to becoming a god and becoming an immortal, so I told you to hide it from those Old Ghost in the mountains."
"God Ascender only strives for his own detachment. If this happens, an accident will happen. But we are Orthodox Xuan Gate. We enjoy one's luck and want to protect one's safety."
"Let's do it, set up the sword formation, leave no one behind!"
As soon as the order was given, the people around him immediately became busy.
Many relatively young Daoist priests carry Dharma flags behind them, wrapped in oilcloth, as if they are carrying spears.
They were well-trained, and they all held compasses in their hands. While checking, they ran in all directions. They quickly found their respective positions and shook the cloth rope behind them.
Wow~
In an instant, one hundred and eight Dharma flags fluttered in the wind.
The location of the flag may seem messy, but it is actually divided into two circles: the inner and outer circles. The inner thirty-six sides correspond to the Heavenly Gang technique, and the outer seventy-two sides correspond to the number of earth evil spirits.
Ming Shanzi also took out seven ancient bronze lamps from the package behind him. The lamp bases were engraved with the seal script "Yangping Governance Capital Merit" and were arranged in the shape of a big dipper on the ground.
Afterwards, he kneaded the secret and wiped the wick with his fingers, and the candle lighted out of thin air. At the same time, he chanted. "Heavenly Lantern illuminates the underworld, the ground lamp locks Malevolent Qi, and the human lamp fixes Divine Soul--the three talents have returned to their places!"
Seven people including Qingcheng Mountain, Ling Yunzi, all had wooden boxes at their feet.
Buzz buzz!
As soon as the formation was completed, the sound of swords suddenly sounded inside.
They pinched the sword formula with their left hands at the same time, exhaled a breath of white air, and followed the guidance of the sword formula and shot it into the box. It was Emei's secret technique, Heavenly Star Finger Technique.
Li Yan has dealt with several Daoist priests from Qingcheng, Emei, and has seen them use this technique.
This technique can enhance Law Sword's attack and is very powerful, but its real role is to lay the foundation for the sword immortal technique.
Obviously, these Daoists use the correct method.
The sound of the sword became louder and louder, and the wooden box trembled accordingly.
Clang!
Finally, the lids of all the wooden boxes were suddenly opened, seven streams of white gas spurted out, spun in the air, and were inserted in front of seven copper oil lamps.
In a short period of time, the altar has been set up.
But this altar is different from ordinary altars, it is Sword Altar.
Just like Li Yan and "Divine Transformation Method", no matter how high a monk is, he is still a human being.
As for powerful spells, it is inevitable to control the huge Innate Gangsha Energy. The human body cannot bear it at all, and must use magic weapons or magic altars to accommodate it.
The same is true for the Sword Immortal's method, which is divided into three swords of heaven, earth and man.
Outside Marquis Wu Shrine, a Qingcheng monk set up an altar and attacked King of Shu with flying swords to lure the snake out of its hole. The human sword was used, and a single person and horse could control it.
And what they have arranged now is Earth Sword.
When the formation was being set up, Cheng JianXin did not participate. Instead, he stood aside with Chang Gousheng to watch, and explained in a low voice, "All methods of magic rely on the right time, place, and people, such as Dragon Tiger Mountain's thunder method. If the right time does not support it, no matter how much effort is spent, it will be useless."
"My Qingcheng disciples have been traveling through Sichuan for generations, worshiping the mountains and rivers. Once the Dharma flag arrives, I can draw the evil energy of the mountains and rivers of Shu and turn it into sword energy to eliminate demons. But after leaving Sichuan and Shu, I am not very good at it, so I can only use human swords. Therefore, it is said that the Sword Immortal is only famous in Shu..."
"When I was young, I vowed to create a secret method to change this situation, but I have been busy all my life and have not succeeded. I may have to rely on you in the future..."
"Master!"
The boy holding the sword, Chang Gousheng, was already crying.
He already knew the identity of Cheng JianXin, and he had competed with others one after another before, except for Li Yan, without losing any of them, so he felt a little proud.
He was blocked by Blood Nuo Master before. He thought he could block it, but failed to obey the command and escape. As a result, the master and apprentice fell into danger.
Although he escaped, Cheng JianXin was completely exhausted.
The young man Chang Gousheng also felt guilty because of this. He did not even dare to look at Cheng JianXin and wished he could stab himself to death with a sword.
"You piece of shit!"
Seeing his appearance, Cheng JianXin, who had been calm just now, immediately became angry, "What are you afraid of making mistakes? Young people are bound to make mistakes. I did a lot of ridiculous things when I was young, and there were a lot of people I was sorry for. What do you think this is?"
"Everyone has to pass this level. We sword practitioners are not afraid of making mistakes. If we lose our spirit because of this, then I have saved the wrong person!"
Chang Gousheng gritted his teeth and nodded, tears falling to the ground.
On the other side, under the leadership of Ming Shanzi, all the Qingcheng monks drew their swords together, Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper, pointed to the sky, and chanted. "Heaven Essence Earth Marrow, I was ordered to channel spirits, my sword knocked on the dragon gate, and the mountains and rivers responded -"
This is <Qingcheng Jade Chamber Art>, activate the Sword Altar spell.
Phew~
As soon as Sword Altar was opened, the surroundings suddenly roared with strong winds.
One hundred and eight Dharma flags were flying, the flames of seven bronze lamps surged, and the seven Law Sword inserted in front of the lamps roared even more.
Gradually, a resonance is formed.
Clang!
The sound of the sword sounded like a dragon's roar, resounding through the night sky.
The sound seemed to awaken the elves in the world of Shu. The leaves rustled in the distance, birds flew in fright, animals galloped, and white mist visible to the naked eye rose from the ground and converged towards the altar...
This is the true method of Qingcheng Sword Immortal.
In "Zhuangzi·Miscellaneous Chapters·Shuo Sword", there are mentions of Son of Heaven Sword, Vassal Lord Sword, Commoner Sword, and there is another way of saying the art of swordsmanship.
The human sword uses Sword Intent as the front, Divine Soul as the spear, sincerity as the backbone, and life as the barrage. It contains the seven emotions within and the six qi outside...
Earth Sword uses mountains and rivers as fronts, rivers as ridges, five mountains as ridges, and four valleys as ridges. When it moves, it is like landslides and tsunamis; when it is still, it is like the sneaking of earth's veins.
When this sword vibrates, grass and trees form soldiers, sand and rocks form formations, and all the springs and underworlds obey orders!
