Foreword: Join, the Array of the Eight Dharma Protectors.

Body:

After recuperating for a few more days, Gu felt that his injuries had healed. So he decided to say goodbye and leave.

The woman said: "I personally supervised the construction of the Zuo Si Palace, and it took ten years before and after, and it contains the art of Qiankun. Outsiders can only enter and exit under my guidance. The art of Qiankun softens the illusory spirit: 'Swallowing fog', this spirit is a rare spirit in the world, and what I can obtain is a gift from the head of the spirit master's sect, so I can use this spirit to create the art of Qiankun. ”

"When outsiders enter, they will see a bottomless walkway, but every few steps, there will be a new walkway, if you walk into a new walkway, new walkways will constantly appear in the walkway, each walkway will be shrouded in clouds, and if you enter without permission, you will get lost in it and never get out. Only the first aisle that I saw was the correct exit, but even then it was impossible to get out of the aisle, because the layout of the Zuo Si Hall would be changed every other hour, and at this time, the original aisle would be replaced by the wrong aisle and hidden, and at 24 o'clock a day, the Zuo Si Hall would be changed 24 times, and the 24 changes per day would be randomly selected among the 36,000 change choices, which was to prevent the outside from entering, and to prevent them from escaping and taking away the secrets of the spirit. Even the servants within will be lost in the illusion if they don't listen to the transmission of the Zuo Si Monogatari (telling the correct aisle). ”

Gu listened carefully and exclaimed, "Such a strategic layout shows your supreme cultivation. ”

The woman said, "I wasn't there the day before yesterday, but I went to the Right Si Hall to discuss something with the Master of the Eight Protectors. ”

"This is the internal matter of the Spirit Master Gate, and Gu can't listen carefully. ”

"It's okay, it's about you. ”

Gu was suspicious in his heart: "What about me?"

"Yes, it's about you. ”

"Please also ask the benefactor to be clear. Gu asked politely.

"I've seen you twice, the first time, the sword in your hand deeply attracted me, that sword is the Taoist supreme Zhuang Zhou sword Yunmeng that has been inherited for two thousand years, this sword ranks tenth in the famous sword sword spectrum, when you fight against one of the eight protectors, I see your skill of gathering the spirit into a blade, and I already know that Kai is definitely not your opponent, although the technique of flying swords is indeed lethal, for you who can flexibly use the Yunmeng sword, it is only a matter of time before you crack it. ”

"The second time I saw you, it was you fighting against the mysterious man, I saw the place in the far sky in the Zuo Si Temple, and accompanied by a huge burst of sound, knowing that there was a fierce battle ahead, set off to find out, on the way forward, I saw you who incarnated as a huge blue butterfly, although you were already at a disadvantage at that time, but still shocked me, the spiritual technique you used is one of the hidden stunts in Yunmeng' The Way of Returning to the Yuan', this spiritual method is to continuously inhale the power of nature into the opponent's body, fill in the missing spiritual power, and increase the lethality of the sword-wielding swordsmanship, which is a spell that ordinary people cannot master. In front of a strong opponent, you can use such a move, which is really extraordinary. ”

"The opponent is too strong, even if I use the powerful spirit sword technique hidden in my subconscious, I am still defeated by the opponent. ”

"You don't have to blame yourself, that mysterious man, if I'm not mistaken, he is one of the eight killers of the Phantom Assassin Regiment, known as the demon, this mysterious man seems to have inherited all the techniques of the previous demons, and further increased the lethality of each exercise. ”

"That's one of the assassins of the Phantom Assassin Regiment—Demon?" Gu's expression became serious.

"Yes, except for him, the other seven, the Owl, the Heavenly Evil, the Earth Evil, and the Evil Spirit. They are all high-level killers of the assassin group, their actions are stealth, unexpectedly putting the opponent to death, usually they want to kill a target, only a dozen seconds of sneak attack can complete the task, you can detect the danger and react instantly is not simple. ”

"It's just that I ended up fiascoly. ”

"You know the rumors of the spirits outside: no one survives being targeted by the Phantom Assassins? And you escaped from their hands, which is a miracle in itself. ”

"On that day, I went to the Right Division Hall and told the Right Division about this matter, I meant to let you enter the Eight Dharma Protector Array and take over the position of your senior brother Zhao Lu's Du Zhi. ”

Gu was upset in his heart, and he didn't know whether he should agree or not.

"I know what you're worried about, it's because you're afraid that your ability won't be able to handle the position of the Eight Great Dharma Protectors, not to mention that you have exceeded your senior brother's skill level, if you join the Eight Protectors, you can be the first to learn about the news about the Phantom Organization and practice spiritual arts under the guidance of the Right Division, your immature spiritual skills will become more and more sophisticated, and it is possible to have the strength to defeat the phantom, and be ashamed of your senior brother." ”

Gu pondered for a moment and said, "I promise you. ”

"Since you promised, then, you can only leave here tomorrow, and if you agree, you are willing to accept the right division as your future master, and the etiquette of the right division's apprenticeship. Now you have to freshen up and bathe, as if you are clean; tomorrow when you worship the teacher, you have to take three steps, kneel and kowtow, enter the right division hall from the main entrance, 999 steps before and after, you have to bow 333 times the whole way, in order to show the determination and piety of the apprentice; enter the main hall, the right division sits in the middle, and the left and right disciples stand next to it in order from the lowest to the highest, there is wine on the right side, you have to bring a bowl of wine, kneel down and offer it to the right division who wants to learn from the teacher, after the right division picks up the wine and drinks it, what do you say, you just have to agree, the last ceremony is the key, you have to fight with the strongest person of the eight protectors, that is, the person who is in the position of death, take his thirty moves, you can stay。 ”

Gu listened carefully and thanked him again and again.

The next day, under the guidance of the Lord of the Zuo Si Palace, Gu successfully left the Zuo Si Palace.

Ten minutes later, Gu came to the right hall.

The right hall is magnificent, and there are six people guarding the door, all dressed in white and wearing solemn makeup.

Entering the main hall, Gu obeyed Zuo Si's instructions, bowed his head in three steps, and had a pious attitude.

Entering the main hall, sure enough, seven of the eight Dharma Protectors stood on both sides of the right division in order, each holding their swords close to their chests, with solemn faces.

Turning his gaze to the center, Gu saw the face of the right division, wearing a black cloth hat, his eyes were squinted, his right hand was holding a gray beard, his fingers were slender, the nails of his little finger were half the length of a finger, his eye sockets were deep, his face was thin, giving people a sense of fairy wind and bones, his whole body was dressed in Taoist robes, black and white, and the earlobes on both sides hung down like Maitreya Buddha.

Gu saw a table on the right side of the crowd, on which were placed a jar of wine and a wine bowl.

Gu walked over, carefully poured the wine into the bowl, Gu picked up the wine bowl, slowly moved to the right division, knelt down, raised the wine bowl with both hands and put it on top of his head, and said: "Spirit Master Gu, I have heard the name of the right division for a long time, come today to offer wine to worship the master." ”

Right Si just squinted his eyes and was indifferent.

None of the Dharma protectors on the left and right made a sound.

In this way, Gu knelt in front of the temple for three hours.

The wine was shaking, and Gu was sweating.

The shadow of the main hall behind Gu was illuminated by the sun, and he moved slowly, waiting until Gu's shadow was illuminated by the sun. It's noon.

"Is your piety enough?" said the Right Division.

"Enough. Gu said with difficulty but confidently.

"Are you determined enough?" asked the right division again.

"Enough, if I can't succeed in apprenticeship, I will never leave this place for half a step. Gu's beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks.

"Do you think you are qualified for the position of the Eight Great Dharma Protectors?"

"Yes. Please observe. Gu said.

"In that case, I will accept the wine. The hand took the wine from the Gu hand, and the right division drank it.

"Where is the Protector of Death?"

"In. I saw the strongest of the Eight Dharma Protectors, and he came out in response.

"If you want to join the ranks of the Eight Dharma Protectors, you need to take his thirty moves, are you willing?"

"Yes. ”

"Then let's try it outside the temple. ”

Later in the afternoon, the scorching sun outside the main hall was in the sky, as hot as the formation of this contest.

Gu saw the strange sword in the man's hand again: there was a Taoist whisk in the front, and the sword body in the back, all emerald colored, it was a sword that could not be ignored.

"Show your spirit sword. He said.

Gu took out the famous Taoist sword Yunmeng from the wooden box and gathered the spirit into a blade.

"The spirit sword in your hand is really a sword, it is called Yunmeng, it is Zhuang Zhou's sword, and the name is taken from the allusion of Zhuangzi's dream butterfly. The whole body is blue, there is no sword body, and the user needs to use spiritual power and a harmonious mood to gather the spirit into a blade, you can gather the spirit into a blade, it seems that your cultivation is quite qualified. It's a pity that your sword is ranked 10th in the sword spectrum. And the dust sword in my hand ranks ninth in the sword spectrum, which means that I am a step above you. ”

"Thanks to the teachings of Senior Brother, Gu has benefited a lot. Although my skills are not as good as those of the senior brother, as long as I take the thirty moves of the senior brother, I can enter the position of the Eight Protectors of the Dharma Dumen. ”

"Hahaha... Do you know the target moves that a master needs to defeat his opponent? He only needs three moves. When you can bear my three tricks, you can call me Senior Brother again. ”

The wind rose, the spiritual power gathered, and the wind danced around his dust-whisking sword.

Gu took a pose and prepared to fight.

"Gales. "Him

Said the man at the door of death.

The winds around him gathered into five or six tornadoes.

"The first type, a tornado Danfeng. Come out!

A tornado in front of him was changing shape, wings appeared, claws appeared, phoenix tails appeared, and finally the phoenix bird appeared.

"Go ahead, destroy him. ”

There was a rumbling sound, sweeping over. Gu only felt that his body was wrapped in smoke and dust.

The huge phoenix bird galloped in front of the Gu, and the Gu entered its belly, where the dragon scroll was the most powerful.

Gu gathered the aura on the Yunmeng Sword in advance and inserted it into the ground in order to stabilize the body's standing. It's just that the wind is too huge, and Gu's body is blown into parallel, and the only thing he can rely on now is the Yunmeng Sword on the ground.

The wind blew for more than ten minutes, and Gu felt like he had experienced ten years of purgatory inside.

Ten minutes later, the wind stopped, and Gu fell from mid-air.

"Why, I only used one trick, and you can't do it? Is this your limit? I heard that your strength is more than that. ”

"Come again. Gu struggled to get up from the ground.

"I hope you don't disappoint me. ”

"The second type, double dragon scroll and double phoenix. “

I saw that the wind behind him formed a double dragon tornado, rushing towards the Gu.

Then twin phoenixes appeared in the sky above the twin tornadoes, and they screamed and slammed into their faces.

But when he saw those twin dragon scrolls, he instantly engulfed the Gu.

The man was looking at his masterpiece, smirking across his face.

He felt that this time Gu would definitely be defeated.

The tornado dispersed, and in the place where it was attacked, there stood a Gu standing impressively, Gu had a sword in his left hand and a sword in his right hand.

"You even have a sword, what kind of sword is this? I've never seen it, it's not in the famous sword spectrum. ”

"Assassin Spirit Sword Corning. ”

"Assassin Spirit Sword Kangning, this is one of the three evil swords, you can use such a demon sword to kill yourself. ”

"No, the sword itself has no soul, what gives them meaning is the sword user itself, as long as the sword user has an honest heart, even a demon sword can become a sword of justice. ”

"As a cliché, I want you to know that you are no match for me, even if you have dual swords. ”

"The third type, multiple tornadoes, dancing in the wind. ”

Countless tornadoes appeared behind him, spinning and swaying like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring.

Gu smiled slightly, "Yunmeng-Kangning, the power of Taoist yin and yang." ”

I only saw the Gu generals cross the two swords, the ink color appeared, and the shape of gossip appeared around the double swords.

"The Tao is the way. Gu said. The hexagram is divided into two, two into three, and three into ten thousand.

Countless Gu appeared.

"Very Dao!" Countless Gu swung their twin swords, gathered the gossip yin and yang, and shot rays from the gossip, those rays of light fell in the wind in the air tactfully, and after a while, the galloping wind seemed to be stumped, unable to get closer, and after a stalemate of more than ten minutes, the wind and the physical illusion of the Gu disappeared.

Gu Shuangjian held the ground, panting heavily, and the blow just now made the essence in his body almost completely gone.

Gu, he is no longer able to fight.

The man held the dust sword in his hand, walked over, and he stretched out the sword body towards Gu's neck, and then pulled it back.

"Senior brother, you lost. He said.

At this time, he turned around and bowed: "Master, this person has passed the test and is fully qualified for the position of Dumen. One of my stunts, the Three Styles of the Wind, has never been able to respond to the next before, this person is the first, that is, the three moves I use, each move is equivalent to thirty moves, and he can take ninety moves, which is really a genius. ”

"I've seen it all, you stand down. The right division said.

"Yes. He retreated to the Protector.

Right Si tapped with one hand to the place where Gu existed, and Gu felt his essence constantly and quickly recover.

So that in the end, he has fully recovered.

"Come here. Gu heard the voice of the right division.

Gu put away the sword and respectfully walked in front of the right division.

"Meet your junior brother and senior brother. Right Division said.

Gu suddenly realized. To the seven people on the left and right, first the eighth brother, he didn't want to admit this senior brother, his face was pale, his lips trembled, and when Gu called him junior brother, he just reluctantly made a salute. When it was time for Senior Brother, Gu smiled and said, "Senior Brother, don't come unharmed. ”

He smiled and said, "If you don't fight, you don't know each other." ”

"Now, you are one of the Eight Great Dharma Protectors, and the position of Dumen is left to you. In the future, I will teach you the art of controlling spirits and controlling spirits, and teach you various formations. Gu hurriedly knelt down.

"Dumen, put it in the array. The right division said.

Gu then entered the vacant Du Men position.

"From now on, the order outside the Spirit Master Gate will be presided over by the eight of you, and you must be consistent in your hearts and concentrate on cultivating the Combined Attack Formation. When defending against the enemy, you must unite as one, and you must not be double-minded, the Phantom Assassins have appeared, and your task is daunting. ”

The right division stood up and said to the seven people.

"Master, rest assured, we will do our best to protect the Spirit Master Gate. ”

"Very well. The right secretary gave a rare smile.
