Chapter 37, the Altar of Ten Thousand Laws
The only remaining eagle in the nest poked out its head and looked very manic at the chirping of its dead relatives, and the eagle owl roared wildly, jumped up and led the eagle out of the nest in the sky.
Ah Zhen flicked her sleeves and released several thin snakes to pounce on the dead little eagle, and the thin snake sucked up the carving's blood before crawling back slowly and being put into the sleeve by Ah Zhen.
The surrounding Taoist priests, including Zhao Zhide, all had complicated expressions and even showed fear, and some people directly revealed the identity of Ah Zhen Hei Miao, although Ah Zhen was expressionless, but a look made the person dare not speak again.
It is estimated that many of the people present have heard of or seen the methods of the black seedlings, and they seem to be more afraid of the mysterious black seedlings than the zombies and ghosts.
"Okay?" Wu Zhengyi asked eagerly.
Shen Jinsan: "It's coming, will it be dangerous to break in like this!" ”
"Got it! , why is it so heavy! Guo Fatzi pushed the door with all his strength, tilted his head and bared his teeth at Shen Jinsan: "It's better than facing a few big birds!" Come and help! ”
Zhao Zhide also stepped forward to push the door, the heavy wooden door was finally opened, and a thick stale aura came to his face, and he hurriedly shouted: "Come in with me, inside is the dojo of the Heavenly Master's Dao cultivation!" ”
Ge Zhengqing: "After entering, hurry up and light a fire, and the Taoist friends with bows and crossbows should stay outside the door with the Nine Star Sect!" ”
Needless to say, the benefits of making a fire can warm people's hearts since ancient times, and it can also drive away and resist strange insects and beasts, which is not comparable to modern cold lights.
Everyone bypassed Ge Zhengqing and the others and rushed up, and the eagle eagle in the sky also rushed down with a wail when they saw the situation.
At this time, I suddenly heard a few "whoosh" sounds, and the crossbow arrows broke through the air in unison, who knew that such a strong crossbow arrow was actually fanned by the eagle owl with its wings.
Seeing that the monster had rough skin and thick flesh, Wu Zhengyi suddenly steadied his horse steps, and his hands were lucky in the dantian.
"Nine Star Borrowing! Five Elements True! Wu Zhengyi hooked his elbow and turned his palm outward in front of his chest to slowly draw a circle, and then the palm was relatively round, and a strong wind suddenly blew around him, and it was visible to the naked eye that there was a flow of air quickly circling and gathering towards his palm, faintly forming a yin and yang gossip like a dragon.
As the gossip became thicker and heavier, the air flow became more and more urgent, and it actually cut Wu Zhengyi's sleeve. When the eagle was approaching, Wu Zhengyi exerted his strength, leaned back and pushed the gossip into the air, and it could be seen that Wu Zhengyi's heart rose and fell violently at this time, and blood oozed from his nostrils again.
The eagle tried to pass through the gossip but was trapped and pushed to a high place, Wu Zhengyi quickly punched two fingers at the gossip in the air, and a golden rune paper mixed with powder flew out of the cuff quickly: "Yin and Yang are born together, and the five elements control the fire!" Flames! ”
With a roar, the rune paper burst into flames when it approached the gossip, and the two levels of the gossip instantly turned into two-color flames, the yang fire was red, the yin fire was blue, and the yin and yang flames gradually rotated and expanded in the air, it seems that these powders are flint powder, which is used to help Wu Zhengyi perform the Dao method.
The eagle eagles had nowhere to escape and were surrounded by flames, they rolled in the air and screamed, trying to slap off the flames on their bodies, but the flames burned more and more, and after they were out of proportion, they both fell in front of the four emperors.
The eagle eagle was dead, and the eagle was dying, screaming and propping up his wings to attack again.
"Hurry up!" Shen Jinsan and Guo Fatzi raised their daggers and were about to rush over, resulting in their lives.
Ge Zhengqing stopped: "Don't go over, the yin fire is not extinguished, and you will die if you touch it." ”
At this time, several crossbow arrows flew behind Shen Jinsan, and the eagle was nailed to a solid knot, completely ending his life.
Wu Zhengyi's chest was churning, his throat was sweet, and he felt like he was about to vomit blood, he forcibly wiped away the nosebleed that flowed to his lips and said: "Eagle habits are male and female, there should be one of the biggest ones who hasn't come back, don't delay at the door, the others go in quickly, the Nine Star Sect has something to say!" ”
Ge Zhengqing: "What are you doing to use the fire separation technique?" ”
Wu Zhengyi: "It's not in the way, the third child has already calculated it for me when he was alive, and my limit is this autumn." ”
Wu Xin was a little excited, feeling like he was about to cry: "Dad! ”
Wu Zhengyi touched his daughter's head: "Don't talk about it, life and death are fate, I know my own affairs, and now it's not these things that matter." ”
Ge Zhengqing sighed: "Say it." ”
Wu Zhengyi: "I have been secretly observing these people, Ge Jiadao is a fresh face this time, and the body shape is not like Ge Jiadao, everyone must pay attention to the movements of a few of them, I am afraid that someone has made a strategy to replace Ge Jiadao." ”
Ge Zhengqing: "Well, what I said is that since we can't be upright, it means that there is an ulterior motive for the fisherman's purpose, and I want to make a profit in the end." ”
Shen Jinsan: "Will you be ready to hide from the world and cross the sea, and then start killing after you succeed?" ”
Wu Zhengyi looked at Shen Jinsan like a father: "It's not impossible, if I can't come out alive this time, Wu Xin will entrust it to you." ”
Guo Fatzi: "I can see it, you are all capable people, but let me also interject, I have never believed in fortune telling or something, Uncle Wu, you look so good, you will definitely be fine!" ”
Ah Zhen: "You finally said something decent, and Heimiao never believed in fortune telling." ”
"Okay, I hope to borrow two auspicious words." At this time, Wu Zhengyi, whose face was pale, smiled slightly, and everyone suddenly felt a bad feeling in their hearts.
Ge Zhengqing tilted his head and pointed his ears in the direction of Siyu: "Come in, something is coming, it should be the eagle eagle returning to the nest." ”
Everyone retreated into the Ten Thousand Laws Sect Altar, and finally went in Shen Jinsan and Guo Fatzi closed the door, and after a while, there was a carving cry outside, and then there was a sound of banging on the door.
Wu Zhengyi reminded the people inside not to care, such a heavy door could not be knocked open, and there was a yin fire on the dead eagle's body that had not been extinguished, once it was stained, the living one would also run out of yang fire and die.
A few fires had already been lit inside, and with the illumination of the lights, the Taoist cultivation holy land, which had not been entered for a hundred years, was finally lit up again.
Heavenly Master Dao had already counted the heads, and more than half of the hundred and tenth people had already been lost, and most of them were trampled to death by their own people.
After a short rest, seeing that there was no danger here, some people began to walk around to observe, Wu Zhengyi's father and daughter, Ge Zhengqing and Ah Zhen stayed in place and did not move, Shen Jinsan and Guo Fatzi couldn't stand the drive of curiosity, and also groped around.
Shen Jinsan's gaze swept over the position where the Heavenly Master Dao was, and found that the ugly aunt was staring at his every move not far away.
Shen Jinsan wanted to ask something but didn't get closer, firstly, because he didn't believe in the ugly aunt and was not sure what her purpose was, and secondly, he was afraid that Zhao Zhide would be suspicious.
There is a bronze alchemy furnace carved with the Dark Eight Immortals in the middle, which should be an antiquity, and the futon used for meditation has been arranged several times around it on the ground, and it has been covered with dust.
Four three-person pillars surrounded by copper oil lamps were placed on the top two main beams, and the heads were covered with incense sticks and hundreds of yellow cloths with charms written on their heads and tails, and there was not a trace of moth-eaten rat bites in the criss-crossing wooden beams.
The back wall is hung with a mottled and somewhat charred portrait of Zhang Daoling, which should be placed under the red sandalwood case, a huge blue and white glaze red entwined lotus sea pattern porcelain incense burner is firmly placed on the top, it seems that the Heavenly Master Tao is not like other sects to worship the three Qing, but only to worship their own ancestors.
Shen Jinsan's eyes lit up, the incense burner is the porcelain of the Hongwuguan kiln of the Ming Dynasty, and the red sandalwood case, the moire lines on the top are smart and strong, and at first glance it is from the hands of the Qing Dynasty royal.
But this is really normal, the Heavenly Master Dao is the head of the Daomen, and it is indispensable to give it to the royal family, listening to the ugly aunt talk about it, the first few layers still hide the wealth accumulated by the Heavenly Master Dao over the years, it must be breathtaking.
Zhao Zhide gathered everyone and spoke: "Fellow Daoists, this is the first layer of the Ten Thousand Law Sect Altar, we need to open each layer of prohibition before entering the next layer, I hope everyone will work together at that time, if you encounter an important token of the Heavenly Master, please be sure to return it, and the rest of the treasures please take it casually, the ancestor of the Heavenly Master Taoist Sect, Zhang Daoling, has passed down the words, there is the art of immortality hidden in its mausoleum, if you can get the treasure this time, the Heavenly Master Dao will definitely be handed over to everyone to share." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhide took a disciple to the front of the red sandalwood case, and after a closer look, he found that there was a five-petal lotus flower mechanism on the outward side of the case, which was just opposite the blue and white porcelain incense burner on the top, and the porcelain incense burner was not simply placed on the top, but directly embedded in the bottom of the case.
The disciple took out five pillars of five-colored incense from his baggage, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner.
The two took a few steps back and bowed reverently to the portrait of the ancestor master, and the long incense emitted a faint five-colored light, and everyone couldn't take their eyes off it.
When the five-colored incense burned to more than half, the lotus mechanism on the red sandalwood case actually "snapped" into it, and then the alchemy furnace on the ground slowly rotated, startling everyone to quickly stay away and find cover.
Zhao Zhide smiled proudly: "Don't panic, fellow Daoists, the entrance is just below the alchemy furnace, and you need to use the five elements of incense to worship the Heavenly Master and Dao Patriarch before it can be opened." ”
Sure enough, with the rotation of the alchemy furnace, there were two mud bricks on the ground behind that were pulled apart by the mechanism, and when I looked around, this alchemy furnace was actually standing on a very thick stone pillar that stretched out from below, and the stairs built of wooden planks were in the deep pit that was dug out of the pillar.
Some of the planks had broken and could be seen to have been broken by stress rather than natural aging.
Everyone was amazed, the Heavenly Master Dao really has a profound foundation, and such a strange mechanism is really unheard of.
However, Shen Jin Sanzhi believed that this mechanism may not have been opened by the power of the five elements, and it should have been the heat of the lotus mechanism that led to this series of operations in the future.
Looking at the broken wooden board and thinking of what the ugly aunt said, Shen Jinsan felt that the ugly aunt might not be lying, and it might be true that his mother was attacked on the second layer and that the Heavenly Master Dao had broken into the altar of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, otherwise how could such a thick wooden board be broken.
After a while, there were three Taoist priests who seemed to be from the same sect who should have discussed with Zhao Zhide in advance, and without saying a word, they held the magic weapon with a knife in one hand and the other hand, and slowly probed down.
