Chapter 40: The Conjuring Flag

The so-called Soul Banner is not actually a specific treasure, but a condensation of countless souls gathered together, and then attached to a piece of artifact to form, not only the so-called Banner Banner, all kinds of blades may become its attachment.

Swords possessed by the Yin Spirit will become evil soldiers, possessing a special Yin aura that can exert power beyond the weapon itself. And the spirit flag held in the hand of the black-clothed pavilion master is like this, the flag is not terrible, what is terrible is the yin spirit attached to the spirit flag, so that it has unpredictable power.

In fact, there is another theory about the spirit flag. Once in this world, there was an artifact that surpassed all powers, and everywhere it passed returned to the Yin Earth. Whether it is the sky or the loess, under the terrifying power of that artifact, it will be reduced to a boundless evil land, and the souls of all things in the world will return to the capital.

And that artifact is rumored to be the original spirit banner in the world, and all the Yin soldiers that appeared in the later generations are using its power in the dark. It is precisely because of this legend that all the Yin soldiers in the later generations are deliberately imitating the appearance of the spirit flag, in order to be blessed in the underworld.

As for whether the rumors are true or not, there is no way to know, after all, no one has witnessed it with their own eyes. However, it has been rumored that the soul banner with supreme power has actually existed in the tomb of the gods in Xiling, accompanied by the eternal sleep of the gods' corpses, and since then, there has been no trace of it in later generations.

Although the spirit flags in the world are all fakes, they also have terrifying power, which can be seen from the fact that the pavilion master blasted the small path chief away with a single blow.

"Ahem"

With a light cough, the little Taoist leader stood up with the broken stone statue beside him, and looked at the pavilion master holding a dark flag not far away, a touch of blood soaked from the corner of his mouth, and the golden light around him also dimmed a little at this moment.

"The power of the Conjuring Banner is really not to be underestimated. ”

Walking forward slowly, the little Taoist wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the evil soldier in the hands of the pavilion master with a little scrutiny, and his pupils swept a little strange. He had heard more than once from his master's mouth about the evil soldiers, and he was also quite curious in his heart, and today he finally got his wish and saw the so-called evil soldiers. And the power it bursts out is also very good.

"This spirit banner can continuously absorb evil qi and make me invincible, what do you use to compete with me?"

Looking at the little Dao Leader who stood up, the corners of the Pavilion Master's mouth swept a touch of sarcasm, and he was proud of the power of this soul banner in his words, which was refined by absorbing countless souls, which could continuously devour the Earth Evil Qi and Yin Soul, providing him with enough power.

The so-called earthly evil qi is a special force naturally formed between heaven and earth, which exists underground, not an entity, but a special existence between gas and physical objects, with extremely strong power, it is a pure yin thing, and pure yang restrains each other.

A long time ago, in order to improve their physique and practice exercises, many martial artists would induce the energy of the earth evil to refine themselves, but to attract the power of the earth evil, a special secret method was needed to extract it from the earth, just like the spirit banner held in the hand of the pavilion master in front of him, which was to extract the energy of the earth evil with the help of the power of the yin soul, so as to provide him with a steady stream of power.

However, in addition to the secret method, there is another kind of person who can use his own extraction of the earth's evil qi for his own use, that is, a martial artist with the power of the earth attribute, of course, not all martial artists can have it. Only when one's own strength is strong enough to reach a certain level can one use one's own attribute spiritual power to hook the power of pure yin and the earth evil, so as to make one's means more powerful.

"Dry Words Trick Heavenly Punishment"

In the face of the ridicule of the black-clothed pavilion master, Xiao Dao Chang's expression remained unchanged, and the "Pure Yang Wuji Gong" in his body was running along the meridians, and the dim gold was once again flourishing at this moment, wrapping his body tightly. In the next moment, the familiar handprints changed again, and bright thunder began to spread in the dim space, rising and falling in the sky above the square, and bursts of buzzing sounded, and a sharp blow could erupt at any time.

"Hmph, although the thunder that fell from the Qianzi Jue is a pure yang thing, it is useless to me. ”

Looking at the bright thunder hovering above the head of the trail chief not far away, the pavilion master smiled coldly, and spoke with a bit of sarcasm. The spirit flag in his hand swayed, the black light surged, and countless evil breaths spread from the pavilion master's body, and then, a huge skull condensed out, and with the wave of the spirit flag in the pavilion master's hand, it slammed into the small path leader who was surrounded by golden light.

Seeing this, Xiao Dao Chang's expression remained unchanged, his plain eyes looked at the evil spirit skeleton whistling over, the corners of his mouth were half open, and an obscure spell sounded from his mouth, and then, Jiang Xiaoqi was surprised to find that a rune that was comparable to the size of an altar slowly appeared, and the whole body was filled with golden light, flickering in the dim square.

From the rune where the golden light spread, Jiang Xiaoqi sensed a familiar fluctuation, and immediately, his eyes looked at it with a bit of curiosity. Comparing the two, he found that the pattern engraved on the golden rune was extremely simple, and it was much rougher than the inheritance of the spirit rune master.

But it was this golden light rune that looked extremely simple, but it made Jiang Xiaoqi feel a thrilling feeling.

Taoism is eternal, and what he is good at learning is all-encompassing, watching the stars at night, calculating the destiny of heaven, and countless learnings are included in the Taoist classics for several generations, including the way of the spirit rune master in the lineage. It is rumored that in the long history of Taoism, there was once a Taoist who obtained the inheritance of the spirit rune master, and was good at the strengths of the two families.

As the inheritor of the Taoist and the spirit rune, a bold idea came up in the heart of the Taoist wizard, wanting to integrate the mastery of the spirit rune master into the Taoist, but this would violate the inheritance purpose of the spirit rune master. In the end, this Taoist prodigy took care of both things, and copied part of the essence of the spirit rune master in the Taoist scripture pavilion, and only the Taoists of the past dynasties had the qualifications to practice it.

As for another rumor, it is that the spiritual rune inheritance recorded in Taoism was originally created by the patriarch of the Taoist school, and the lineage of the spirit rune master was derived from the Taoist rune school. As for which of the two statements is true, no one else knows. After all, Taoism is ethereal to the world, and it is difficult to find traces, let alone the truth in it.

"Demon Charm"

With a soft drink, Xiao Dao Chang's hands shook together, the golden spiritual light in his hands was quickly outlined, and the soul power in his mind surged, and the majestic spiritual power aura poured into the golden runes in front of him. Then, Jiang Xiaoqi saw that the slightly illusory huge runes gradually began to become condensed under the fusion of the two forces of the little dao chief.

"Sealed"

As soon as the words fell, the huge skeleton that roared in front of him had arrived in front of him, and then, I saw the ten fingers of the little path chief together, crossed each other, and made a complicated gesture, and the next moment, the huge runes that were floating in front of the little path chief slowly swept out, and the huge skeleton full of evil aura was printed in front of him.

"Snort"

The moment the golden light came into contact with the evil qi, countless piercing wails sounded in the square, and the feeling was like coming to a boundless hell, which made people feel uneasy.

Holding back the piercing scream, Jiang Xiaoqi looked up, his eyes fixed on the collision of two completely different forces, and his eyes flashed with surprise. I saw that the moment the skeleton full of evil energy came into contact with the golden rune, it was like the remnants of the cold winter blood meeting the scorching sun, and countless black evil qi were evaporated, disappearing under the spread of the golden light, and turning into invisible.

"Poof"

Soon, Jiang Xiaoqi saw that as the golden light runes slowly advanced, the skull that lingered with the black aura was suppressed and dim, and the black evil qi all over it also dissipated instantly under the rendering of the bright thunder, and disappeared into the dim square out of thin air, never to be found again.

"Hmph"

Looking at the huge skeleton that had been evaporated by the golden runes, the black-clothed pavilion lord snorted coldly, and his figure swept up the altar in all directions in a flash, and the spirit banner in his hand swayed again. Then, Jiang Xiaoqi saw that under the big statue standing on the altar, countless Dao Sen Sen's evil qi spread from the dark hole entrance, surging around the spirit banner in the hands of the pavilion master, and the gloomy evil qi flourished again at this moment, and a powerful coercion filled all corners of the square, accompanied by gusts of yin wind, which made people's hairs stand on end.

"Soul Flag, I am a demon land"

As more and more evil qi poured in, the pavilion master's deep pupils were also occupied by evil qi at this moment, sneering at black light. And the body wrapped in the black robe of the pavilion master was also shrouded in an eerie evil aura at this moment, and the terrible roar seemed to have thousands of powerful ghosts coming to him to ask for his life, and that appearance looked very terrifying.

"Boom"

The next moment, I saw the pavilion master wave his big hand, and the spirit banner that lingered around the evil spirit was vigorously waved, and the next moment, an indescribable cold aura began to spread, and the yin wind blew through, sweeping all corners of the square. Immediately after, Jiang Xiaoqi's eyes were solemn and he saw that the place where he was standing had turned into a piece of demonic land at some point.

The evil aura that lingers around him sends chills down the spine, and the terrible roar can even make some people who are not determined to lose their minds. Even though Jiang Xiaoqi had a resolute personality, under the spread of that evil aura, his mind couldn't help but be in a trance, and he bit the tip of his tongue before he got out of that evil aura.

"Bear"

And when the eerie evil aura spread to his feet, a deep flame spread out from Jiang Xiaoqi's body, blocking those cold evil qi and completely isolating him. Jiang Xiaoqi was somewhat surprised by the self-operation of the demonic qi, but the next scene shocked Jiang Xiaoqi's heart.

I saw that the black flames permeating his body began to swallow the evil aura spreading under his feet at this moment, devouring it without restraint. Immediately afterward, Jiang Xiaoqi felt a change in his body, and the black demonic qi that lingered outside the Qu Chi was expanding at an alarming speed after devouring that evil qi.

In a few breaths, the black aura surrounding Jiang Xiaoqi's body had already swelled up, and right now, the black flames attached to his body were still frantically plundering, like a bottomless pit, which was difficult to fill.

"Stop me"

Jiang Xiaoqi roared in his heart, curbing the whale swallowing of the magic power. Although there is no abnormality in Jiang Xiaoqi's body now, he is still out of caution, stubbornly suppressing the operation of the magic power in his body, forcibly ending this whale swallowing plunder, and when his mind turns, he puts away the black flame attached to his body, suppresses it, and turns into a touch of azure spiritual power, wrapping his body and not being disturbed by the evil qi of the outside world.

"Demon Suppression Talisman"

Looking at the evil aura everywhere, the golden light around the head of the trail was permeated, and he pointed out with ten fingers. Then, seeing his lips half-open, he bit the tip of his tongue, and a red essence blood shot out of his mouth, spraying directly on the golden spirit rune. Suddenly, the rune surrounded by golden light seemed to be endowed with a soul, and with the rotation of the little path leader's mind, the golden light rune shot out and went straight to the altar in all directions.

"Buzz"

On the altar, looking at the fast-paced spiritual light rune in front of him, the black-clothed pavilion master hurriedly dodged, and the spirit banner in his hand swayed, avoiding the nuisance of the golden light. However, before he could be happy, the pavilion master saw with a gloomy face that the spirit rune that shot out was not aimed at him, but directly sealed the mouth of the dark hole under the bronze tripod, and at this point, the evil qi that continued to emerge in it came to an abrupt end.

"Soul Banner Destroys"

Without the blessing of the evil qi, the evil qi surging on the spirit banner was constantly weakening, and the mournful roar was gradually fading. However, with the nature of the pavilion master, it is impossible to sit still, and he does not have the time to break the seal at the entrance of the cave, and the only thing he can do at the moment is to use the remaining power of the spirit banner to launch a fatal blow and inflict a heavy blow on the little road leader.

As soon as the words fell, he saw that the spirit banner waving in the pavilion master's hand became larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, rising in the wind, and then, seeing him stretch out his hand, the black light condensed into a big hand, directly grabbing the big ding in the center of the altar.

"Puff Puff"

The next moment, Jiang Xiaoqi's eyes were full of coldness, and one after another petite figures covered in blood swept out of the Great Ding, heading straight for the swaying spirit banner in the pavilion master's hand. And the big tripod was like a bottomless pit, constantly swallowing out the remains of children, injecting them into the banner, being swallowed by the evil qi of Senran, and then becoming stronger and stronger.

"Extinguish"

Finally, at this moment, the power of the spirit banner waved in the pavilion master's hand reached the extreme, and a terrifying coercion swept in, and the yin wind gusted, filling the entire dim square, and the surrounding broken stone statues were all shattered into powder under that powerful power.

With a hoarse roar from the pavilion master, Jiang Xiaoqi's eyes were solemn and he saw that the pavilion master's figure had also turned into a black light at this moment, slowly rising into the air, and swept straight into the forest soul flag.

"Well, I'm going to use you anyway. ”

Looking at the conjuring flag, the corner of the golden light added to the small path chief smiled helplessly, his palm turned slightly, and a small golden gourd slowly appeared, slowly rotating in his palm, looking extremely exquisite. And on the body of the little gourd, there are dense patterns, outlined by purple and gold colors, which looks extremely mysterious.

"Gourd, gourd, please turn around. ”

Under the golden light, the little Taoist priest spoke softly, folded his hands, and recited a strange incantation, and then, his hands slammed together, and the next moment, the purple-gold gourd rose against the storm in Jiang Xiaoqi's surprised gaze, and the holy light spread, instantly illuminating the entire dim square. The eerie aura spreading on the ground also subsided like a tide at this moment, and it was completely gone in time.

"Swallow"

The next moment, the purple-gold gourd in front of the little Taoist priest who was rising in front of him jumped up suddenly, the golden light sprinkled down, the gourd mouth tilted downward, and suddenly, an indescribable holy aura surged out, pouring down from the gourd's mouth, and the golden light seemed to condense into substance, like the Milky Way of the Nine Heavens of Catharsis, surging towards the enveloping spirit flag.

"呲呲"

As soon as the two completely different forces met, they showed a situation where water and fire were incompatible, and the gloomy dead air let out bursts of wails under the pouring of holy golden light, and a terrible roar resounded, as if countless unjust souls were ruthlessly erased at this moment, and the spirit banner that rose against the storm also became more and more dim under the spread of golden light.

"What a domineering force. ”

Looking at the purple gold gourd floating in the square, Jiang Xiaoqi's eyes shrank slightly, and he muttered in a deep voice, and his body also became tense under the domineering golden power.

"Receive"

Looking at the dimmer spirit flag in front of him, the little Taoist priest's eyes froze, the seal in his hand changed again, and he recited a vague spell in his mouth, and the next moment, he saw the purple gold gourd floating in the air flashed, the light was sheng, and a strong suction force erupted at the mouth of the gourd, directly enveloping the dim spirit flag, pulling and swallowing it into the gourd's mouth.

"The power left of the Soul Banner that has lost its dead qi is equivalent to an ordinary spirit treasure. ”

Soon after, the dim spirit banner was swallowed in by the pull of the purple gourd, and although it struggled to resist, its power was limited without the blessing of death, and no matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape the fate of being surrendered.

"Taoism really lives up to its name, and today I admit it. ”

And at the moment when the spirit flag was swallowed by the purple gold gourd, the pavilion master dressed in black swept out in embarrassment, and his body fell heavily in the square, looking indifferently at the little Taoist with a flat expression not far away, and spoke in a deep voice.

At this time, the pavilion master can be regarded as embarrassed, his body is stained with a holy golden aura, which dilutes all the dead qi around his body, and he has no threat to the little Taoist priest at this time.

"Life and death are irreversible, why is the pavilion master so obsessed?"

Looking at the embarrassed pavilion master, the little Taoist recited a trumpet and slowly spoke, raised his eyebrows, and asked in a somewhat questioning tone.

"Hmph, don't talk to me about bullshit destiny, this world is inherently unfair, where there will be good and evil, it's just human greed. ”

Seeing the doubts on the cheeks of the little road chief, the pavilion master snorted coldly and then spoke, saying such an inexplicable sentence, expressing his dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Bang"

Suddenly, just when everyone thought that the victory was decided, under the bronze tripod, the rune that sealed the mouth of the dark hole was torn apart with a bang, and dissipated into a point of light in the sky. Immediately afterward, a gust of wind whistled and swept across all corners of the square.

"Whoosh"

The next moment, I saw a black shadow flying by, and the swift figure appeared directly on the altar. Then, Jiang Xiaoqi and the others saw a sneer on the bloodless wrinkled face of the pavilion master, and then, in the surprised gaze of the two, he leaned back, accompanied by a cold word, and jumped into the deep hollow under the big ding.

"Hehe, you don't deserve my life. ”

The figure of the Pavilion Master fell into the deep hollow, and his sarcastic words echoed in the dim square. Jiang Xiaoqi and the others looked at each other, and then, they each dodged, swept onto the altar in all directions, and poked their heads to look at the dark hole.

"What do you think, Chief?"

Staring at the dark entrance of the cave under the big ding, Jiang Xiaoqi frowned slightly, and thought silently in his heart. Then, seeing him turn sideways, he spoke in a deep voice, and asked the little Taoist beside him.

"If Xiaodao guessed correctly, there should be something special hidden in this deep cave, or maybe it is a graveyard inside, otherwise it would not emit such a strong dead air. ”

Hearing Jiang Xiaoqi's doubtful voice beside him, the Taoist chief groaned and spoke, analyzing what special things were hidden in the deep cave in front of him.

It seems that the little Taoist has already counted in his heart, so the kid gave up his life to accompany the Taoist chief on a journey. ”

Jiang Xiaoqi agrees with the words of the little Taoist in his heart, and now he is no longer the fledgling boy, and he also has a certain understanding of the so-called dead air. These things can only be born in places full of corpses, and it takes thousands of years to accumulate. The most common gathering in Xiling, only there can be called the world's cemetery, countless mausoleums buried underground, thousands of years of life have made it have the purest death in the world.

According to local conditions, Xiling is deserted for thousands of miles because of its dead air, and there are only continuous graves. However, at the same time, because of the accumulation of dead qi, the local warriors of Xiling gradually adapted to the eerie dead aura, and over time, they no longer rejected this gloomy aura, but guided them into the body, so that they could cultivate in a way that ordinary people could not match.

At the same time, because of the particularity of the dead qi, the strength of the warriors who came out of Xiling was very strong, and it was difficult to meet opponents among the martial artists of the same realm. However, there are pros and cons, because of the perennial erosion of dead energy, Xiling's martial arts physique tends to be feminine, and compared to their strong cultivation, their physique has become a major shortcoming.

And right now, this dark hole is filled with such a thick dead air, and the pavilion master can only have this strength with the help of its power, thinking that there must be something special hidden in it. For this reason, Jiang Xiaoqi came up with the idea of finding out in his heart.

However, with his strength, I am afraid that there will be no way back to go alone, so he opened his mouth like this, mainly anti-guest, pushed the thoughts that sprouted in his heart to the small Taoist beside him, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said cheekily.

Hearing Jiang Xiaoqi's words beside him, the little Taoist priest's face was stunned at first, and then he looked at the former, with a little inquiry in his eyes, but found that Jiang Xiaoqi's face was unconscious, as if it was really as awe-inspiring as he said.

"Since Brother Jiang is interested, then you and I might as well go on a journey. ”

"However, the death aura here is too strong, and it is easy to contaminate itself, and it needs to be accompanied by an artifact to be safe. ”

Retracting his gaze, Xiao Dao Chang turned his gaze and landed in the dark deep hole in front of him, and spoke in a deep voice, like Jiang Xiaoqi, he also wanted to see what was hidden in this mysterious deep hole, which could exude such a rich dead aura.

When the words fell, I saw Xiao Daochang's body move, and surrounded by spiritual light, a purple-gold gourd appeared in his palm. With a light blow, the little gourd rose in the wind under Jiang Xiaoqi's strange gaze, and then, a gentle suction began to fill the gourd's mouth, instantly enveloping Jiang Xiaoqi's two figures, and in a flash of golden light, they engulfed it.
