Chapter 404: Blood Sacrifice
Chapter 404
I noticed that Ling Yun used the word "we" in his mouth, and I couldn't help but ask him, "In this way, Beiquan Yuan launched the battle to besiege Qingyang Palace, and you were also involved in it?"
Ling Yun did participate in the battle, but not as the main force, but as reinforcements.
After I talked to Xiangsheng Daoist, Xiangsheng Daoist left in advance to find Hechen Zhenren to report the abnormality of Qingyang Palace, according to the countermeasures we discussed, Hechen Zhenren made corresponding countermeasures, he arranged for Xiangsheng Daoist to mobilize the disciples of the Shushan faction to sneak into the vicinity of Qingyang Palace, the original intention of this move was to monitor and warn Qingyang Palace to suddenly attack, it was to take action after all the manpower was in place, but continued to hibernate, until the Battle of Longhu Mountain occurred, Beiquanyuan mastered the evidence of collusion between Qiyun Dao and the demon clan, and Chenzhen urgently adjusted the strategy, changed surveillance to a strong attack, and prepared to take Qingyang Palace in one fell swoop。
As a hidden blade in Beiquan Yuan, the combat effectiveness of the Shushan faction is beyond doubt, in terms of attack power alone, the Shushan faction is better than the Nine Courtyards, despite this, Hechen Zhenren still arranged a backhand, he sent a message to Yuexuan Zhenren, and asked Yuexuan Zhenren to take the monks who have not yet evacuated from the Xuanzhen Zun Classic to support, this is the elite of the Daomen, in the face of such an offensive, the fate of Qingyang Palace can be imagined.
After the reinforcements led by Yue Xuan Zhenren and the Xiangsheng Daoist joined the division, they launched an attack on the Qingyang Palace that night, the Qingyang Palace was caught off guard, and the casualties were heavy, but in just half an hour, the outer mountains completely fell, after surviving the initial chaos, the Qingyang Palace held the inner mountain, with the spirit pill and the staff of the unspelled spell, coupled with the power of the mountain protection array, the Qiyun Dao people took the few remaining Qingyang Palace disciples to block the Shushan faction and the Daomen's coalition army, the battle stalemate in the middle of the night, just when everyone thought that it would be a failure, the Qingyang Palace's mountain protection array, suddenly collapsed from the inside to the outside。
"The mountain protection array has collapsed from the inside, how is it possible!" I was a little surprised, "Although the mountain protection array of Qingyang Palace is not comparable to Longhu Mountain, it is also a strong help, although the people of Qiyun Dao are strong, it is impossible to protect the entire Qingyang Palace by himself, what is the purpose of his move?"
Ling Yun shook his head, "It's not the people of Qiyun Dao who did it, the other person who opened the mountain protection array is the real person of Donglin who has been hidden for many years." ”
My heart moved, this Donglin real person I have heard Uncle Xianshou mention, he is the oldest of the real people in the world, seventy years old in ordinary people may be already a lingering old age, but for a real person, seventy years old can only be regarded as middle-aged, after the monks break through the real human realm, the lifespan will be automatically extended to about one hundred and fifty years old, and in the future, when the cultivation to the Dao Zun, the Dao Jun, the life span will be longer, until the cultivation to the saint, then it is truly the same life as heaven and earth, indestructible and indestructible.
After Donglin Zhenren enlightened at the age of fifty, he was no longer born, and he was closed to death all year round, and very few people had seen him, not only that, Donglin Zhenren was not very interested in the affairs of Qingyang Palace, and rarely asked, over time, Donglin Zhenren became a legend in Qingyang Palace, and even many young disciples questioned whether there was really such an old-timer in this door.
After the collapse of the mountain protection array, Donglin Zhenren announced his appearance in an extremely exaggerated way, he used his cultivation of the real human realm, forcibly awakened the Yanhua that Qingyang Palace had been worshipping in the Yanhua Pond for hundreds of years, and the huge Yanhua overflowed with the breath of the entire Qingyang Palace, in the face of this miracle, the disciples of Qingyang Palace all bowed at the feet of the ancestors, and did not dare to resist again. ”
Donglin Zhenren ignored the disciples of Qingyang Palace who were kneeling together, but turned to face the Qiyun Dao people who were still resisting, and the Qiyun Dao people relied on the help of the elixir to fight with Yuexuan Zhenren and Donglin Zhenren, and they could still have some upper hand, but Qiyun Dao people knew in their hearts that without the support of Qingyang Palace, it was only a matter of time before he was defeated, so in the middle of the battle, Qiyun Dao people swallowed a few pills of elixir, and with the help of the soaring spiritual power, they forced back Yuexuan Zhenren and Donglin Zhenren, broke through the blockade of the coalition army, and fled。 ”
"In the time that followed, we helped the Qingyang Palace led by Donglin Zhenren to level the remnants of the Qiyun Dao people, and captured the Zhenling Great Array and returned it to the Pao Brothers, after everything settled down, we withdrew to Longhu Mountain, and the Donglin Zhenren who had not asked about the world for a long time took over the affairs of Qingyang Palace, because of the face of Donglin Zhenren, Beiquanyuan did not continue to investigate the responsibility of Qingyang Palace, most of the disciples of Qingyang Palace chose to defect at the last moment, and did not receive much punishment, so the Daomen of Qingyang Palace was preserved. ”
"However, the mess left by the people of Qiyun Dao is not small, the main task of Donglin Zhenren next is to remove the negative impact left by the spirit pill, the spirit pill is good to say, destroy it, the disciples who have taken the spirit pill will be in trouble, in order to adapt to the spiritual power of the spirit pill, they have more or less carried out some demonized transformation, if they want to recover, it will inevitably damage the cultivation, and if it is serious, it may become a waste, no matter what, the strength of Qingyang Palace is inevitable, if you want to return to the Nine Courtyards, I don't know how many days it will take。 ”
"Before withdrawing the army, Xiangsheng Daoist had organized people to search for the culprit Qiyun Dao people in Xichuan, but it has been fruitless, which makes Xiangsheng Daoist very puzzled, because according to common sense, his primary goal should be to take revenge on the Shushan faction and the Daomen coalition army, after all, that is the main reason for destroying his foundation, but who would have thought that after the Qiyun Dao people overdosed on the elixir and lost their minds, they didn't care about Qingyang Palace at all, but put the matter of seeking revenge from you in the first place?"
I smiled bitterly, of course the Xiangsheng Dao people couldn't imagine how deep the hatred of the Qiyun Dao people was for me, during the entire Xuanzhen Venerable Period, he repeatedly ate deflated at my hands, although they were all small things, but for the narrow mind of the Qiyun Dao people, this was far more memorable than the frontal large-scale defeat, but I didn't need to tell Ling Yun about these things, so I avoided this topic and asked, " It's a good thing that Beiquan Yuan can successfully eradicate this black sheep, as for some innocuous little details, there is no need to be too sad, by the way, about the kind of spell-free staff used by Qingyang Palace, has Beiquan Yuan investigated anything?"
"Brother Wu, you ask that, hey, it's not worth half a penny. ”
In this process, the spells and imprints of the hands are used to manipulate the logical sequence of spiritual power, and the spell in the mouth is responsible for mobilizing the specific spiritual power required by the spell.
The cast process cannot be skipped, but can be replaced by other methods.
In the Taoism left by the demon cultivators in the past dynasties, there is a spell called blood sacrifice, this spell is as its name describes, it is to replace the spell casting process through the method of blood sacrifice, and directly trade with spiritual power in exchange for faster spell casting speed, most of the magic cultivators' exercises take shortcuts, and it is precisely because of this that under the duel of the same realm, ordinary monks will often be unable to defeat demon cultivators, and end in defeat.
However, the magic practice is not without shortcomings, while obtaining excess strength, the magic cultivation method is often accompanied by huge side effects, take the blood sacrifice as an example, it helps the user to reduce the spell casting process at the same time, it will consume the user's life span of different lengths according to the strength of the spell, speaking of which, do you feel a little familiar here, yes, this is the same as people in Western countries selling their souls to demons in exchange for power, it is just the act of drinking water to quench thirst.
"So, the so-called curse-free magic wand is actually an ordinary magic weapon blessed with blood sacrifice spells?"
Ling Yun gave me a positive answer, I really didn't expect the Qiyun Dao people to do this, this is completely consuming the future of the Qingyang Palace in exchange for strength, even if his plan is successful, the Qingyang Palace will become the strongest sect of the Dao Sect in one fell swoop, what is the use, the demonization toxicity of the elixir and the side effects of the blood sacrifice are enough to make the Qingyang Palace go into extinction by itself without foreign enemies, and at that time, I don't know what the Qiyun Dao people have to meet the ancestors of the Qingyang Palace.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Donglin Zhenren stepped forward and turned the tide, so that Qingyang Palace did not end up in a tragic situation, if he hadn't shocked the disciples of Qingyang Palace to defect, with the urine nature of Qiyun Dao people, maybe he would really resist to the end and fight a fish to die and break the net.
After Ling Yun sent us to the accommodation arranged by Longhu Mountain, he got up and said goodbye after chatting a few words, after he left, a lot of visitors came one after another, all of them were familiar faces who had participated in the Battle of Longhu Mountain, they came to see me, one is Xie Longhu Mountain during the battle I stood up to protect their righteousness, the other is to visit me, a new real person, a few days ago after relieving the danger of Qingxuanguan, I asked Mo Qing to report to Beiquan Yuan about my promotion to a real person, according to the rules, Beiquan Yuan will notify all fellow disciples in the form of an official document after receiving the news, so that other monks will not lose their manners when they see me。
During the battle of Longhu Mountain, I was forced by the Qiyun Dao people to call out Qingyun to participate in the battle, which also exposed the strength of the Qingxuanguan and two real people, at that time, everyone had already begun to look at me differently, after all, there are only two real people at the same time, in addition to the Beiquan Yuan Academy, there are only Wudang Mountain, Shangqing Palace and Qiyun Palace, now it's good, plus a promotion to a real person, a door and three real people, Qingxuanguan suddenly became second only to the existence of the Beiquan Yuan Academy, higher than the top three of the Nine Courtyards, these monks of the Daomen, how dare they offend me with the notoriety of being rude。
When the sky gradually darkened, the current head of Longhu Mountain Zhang Renchun came to visit, I heard the news in the house and hurriedly got up to greet out, the compliments of fellow Daoists in the afternoon did not let me get carried away, I know that I have a few pounds and a few taels, and I also know how heavy the burden on my shoulders is, compared to the night scene, Daomen is my trusted companion, since it is a companion, how can I put on a proud face, besides, at this moment we are in Longhu Mountain, how can there be a reason for the host to visit me first.
