Chapter 19: Extinguishing the Array (2)
"Two senior uncles, please let him come over for the sake of the face of the Xuanneng Immortal Master and the Xinheng Uncle. β
Just as the two fifth-generation disciples were nervously watching Xia Fanxing's every move, a cold voice suddenly came from behind them, startling them. He turned his head away and was stunned.
Several guards were even more shocked, just now under the eyes of everyone, the white-clothed shadow of the sword flying in the sky had descended silently outside the mountain gate at this time. Hou Ying held the spirit sword in her hand, with a hint of eagerness in her cold expression.
Xia Fanxing also glanced at her in surprise. He thought that his senior sister would help stop him.
After all, the danger that could erupt at any time outside the mountain gate at this time is definitely not a joke.
But from Hou Ying's eyes, he saw the trust and firmness in himself. Yes, they all slipped out of the inner sect, and they can be companions with each other. The most important thing is that Hou Ying has the same feelings as Xia Fanxing, and can understand why the junior brother must go to Lingshan.
The five generations of disciples at the head looked at the two of them in embarrassment. He opened his mouth and hesitated.
At this moment, another wave of dizziness that was the same as before spread to all the disciples of the Tu Feng Sect. Wang Yunming, who was lying in the heavenly cave, couldn't help but let out a roar of pain. Several people in front of the mountain gate also felt it. Although the dizziness was fleeting, the few people who were frozen knew what it meant.
Hou Ying sighed and said, "As soon as the Protector Sect takes a breath, the Great Array will also be closed. The heart and the master must be doing it at the Lingshan at this moment, and there is only one last step left. Two senior uncles, you don't stop your disciples, but you stop my junior disciples, it's nothing more than the reason for the strength of the realm. The disciple assures you that he will ensure the safe return of the disciple. β
Xia Fanxing was moved when he heard this, and smirked. And the two gatekeepers lowered their heads, thinking about the pros and cons. They also heard another meaning from Hou Ying's words - you can't stop me, okay. Then if I want to take him out of the sect with me, will you be able to stop the two of us?
Although the meaning is very subtle and arrogant. But she has the capital at all. Twenty-four-year-old Fang Ling, who reached a realm that their side disciples could not reach, spied a corner of the scene of the Dan period. The strength of the cultivation world is respected, and the number of rituals is only supplemented after all. That being the case... Why don't you just ......
"I know what you're out for. You are all smart children, and it is good to have this heart to be loyal to the sect. The side disciple led by him took a step back, hugged his fists, and said seriously, "After passing over, listen to Senior Brother Xinheng's arrangement, and pay attention to safety." This is not something you children should be able to mix with. β
"Thank you, uncle!" Xia Fanxing bowed gratefully, followed Hou Ying's footsteps, and walked out of the mountain gate. Senior sister and brother one after the other, Xia Fanxing followed Hou Ying towards the West Mountain Gate outside the mountain. Neither of them opened their mouths to say anything. Obviously, the closer you get to the mountain with your senior sister, the more tension you feel in your heart. No one had the heart to say anything.
"Wait. "Walk to the foot of the mountain, and then turn a distance to the south, is called the Zhongling Mountain Taihua Mountain. Hou Ying suddenly stopped. Along the way, the fog almost blocked their entire view, and they walked entirely by experience. However, when they approached Taihua Mountain, they both clearly heard the sound of burning rune paper around Taihua Mountain. There is also, more and more obviously, the subtle sound of breathing in the crowd.
Ever since the Tu Feng Sect introduced the Star Sea Method, the Great Array of Protectors has been improved by disciples who have studied the Heavenly Machine Dao Sect. In the Great Array of Protectors, the Seven Killing Dao Intent and the Heavenly Machine Dao Method coexisted, but its opening and closing had already involved the use of a large number of talismans in the Heavenly Machine Dao Sect. Although the fog blinded them, there was a vast expanse ten meters away. But both of them knew that the heart and Taoist chief who were famous for their Heavenly Machine Dao Technique, and the object of An Lushan's name and surname to ask for sacrifices, was at the foot of Taihua Mountain, closing the Great Sect Protector Array in front of nearly a hundred fifth-generation disciples.
"When the big array is closed, we'll go to Uncle Seventh again. Hou Ying listened carefully to the movements on Taihua Mountain not far away for a while, then turned to Xia Fanxing and said.
Xia Fanxing thought about it, nodded, and just said with some disappointment, "It's a pity, I can't see such a rare scene as the closure of the Great Array." β
"What will happen next is really called a once-in-a-century occurrence. You don't think they will find us right now and send someone to send us back, right?" Hou Ying glanced at him, sat down on the grass in front of the mountain, did not let go of any time, and began to meditate to get lucky. Xia Fanxing looked at the fog that almost enveloped the entire sect early in the morning, and the sound of chanting scriptures not far away, as well as the subtle movements of the onlookers, gradually became clear.
At the foot of Taihua Mountain.
From the foot of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain, which is as high as ten miles, the disciples of the five generations are scattered all over the lower half of the Spirit Mountain. Except for the disciples who often traveled outside like the Vast Heart Daoist, almost all of the nearly 100 disciples of the five generations had arrived. According to the different cultivations, from the halfway up the mountain to the foot of the mountain, the disciples arranged to cultivate higher and higher.
Except for the nearly ten fifth-generation Yuanying disciples at the foot of the mountain, the disciples above were all sitting cross-legged on the wet mountain road, meditating. Each floor is separated by a distance of two or three hundred meters, but there is an aura connecting with each other. The more you go halfway up the mountain, the more disciples there are for the five generations. They seem to be doing something together.
In front of the hill facing the open space on the east side of the mountain, the fog was so thick that it was completely out of sight. And from it, a crisp female voice faintly came, and the sound of the rune chanting became louder and louder, but it quickly dissipated into the mist.
If you can pass through this mist, the disciples on Taihua Mountain meditate together, forming a very powerful source of spiritual power, and even resonating with the spiritual veins of Taihua Mountain. And all this is for the sake of the people in the fog. In the mist, in the middle of the clearing, a white-clothed heart and Taoist had just come out of a three-month retreat. His cheeks were crimson, and his complexion was very good. Pacing slowly in the mist, his graceful posture is moving.
Behind her, there was a plain piano. The fog was already too thick, and when she turned around, she could only see the faint light of fire on both sides of Suqin. The spiritual smoke emitted by the burning of the two spiritual incense sticks has completely merged with the mist. There is a refreshing smell in the air. The fog completely enveloped the disciples on the left and right sides who were holding incense. The palm incense on the right is a disciple of the Yudan period, a person who has cultivated the Heavenly Machine Dao and has attainments in Xinning Dao, that is, Jin Ru's master.
The palm incense disciple on the left is the Xinyin Daoist in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, that is, the beloved disciple of Xuan Neng.
Under the fog, in fact, in the open space in front of the mountain, two uniquely shaped tokens have been thrown by the heart and the Taoist. Each piece is almost the size of a palm. The heart slowly paced through the mist, and the words were in his mouth. The sound of chanting spells was high and low, and a third token had already appeared in her hand. This is the key to the opening of the Great Array of Protectors, the three tokens were previously sealed under Mount Taihua, and it has been a full hundred and fifty years since the last time the Great Array was closed.
The only person who can take down the three orders of the Protector Sect is the sect master who has the right to hold the throne of Taihua Mountain, and he is a person with a clear heart.
The extremely tall Heart Zhao Dao Man was sitting cross-legged dozens of meters behind the three Heart Character Disciples at this moment. In the depths of the mist, Xinzhao's whole body was surrounded by bursts of purple qi, and a subtle and difficult light source came from his chest to Suqin. Closing the Great Array required an opportunity to gather aura, and the cultivation of the middle and late stages of the Heart Zhao Dao Human Yuanying, and as the sect master, took the initiative to take on this responsibility. The tremendous energy of the nearly 100 fifth-generation disciples on the Spirit Mountain, coupled with the resonance of the spiritual veins, all the spiritual energy was gathered by the Heart Zhao Dao people to their side in the mist with superb Dao methods, and gradually spread to the three junior sisters in front of them.
"Seven Peerless Cultivation, Protecting My Sect, the Gate of Heaven Rises, and the Eyes of the Earth Fall. Star Array Enlightenment!"
All the disciples on Taihua Mountain heard the voice of Xinhe coming from the mist. At this time, Suqin played a faint music, and the two palm-incense monks also began to chant mantras according to the momentum of their hearts. The mana on Xin Zhao's body is getting stronger and stronger, and the power sensed by the other three is also getting stronger and stronger.
At the foot of the mountain, among the ten infant monks. The Heart Heng Daoist stood in the middle of them, and with the cultivation of the Yuanying Monk, he could feel the movement in the mist. He glanced back at the Senior Brother Heart Yang Dao and Senior Brother Heart Soul Dao behind him, and both of them nodded to him. Xinheng stepped forward and walked in front of the mist. After a moment, a blazing purple fire suddenly ignited on his left hand. Xin Heng rushed in with a lunge and raised his left hand. A blinding purple light shone into the mist. Miraculously, the disciples who were meditating seriously on the Spirit Mountain suddenly saw the scene inside the mist.
ββThe heart and Taoist of the white-clothed Shengxue, sitting cross-legged in the air at this time. The token hovered in front of her. Her hands also ignited an enduring blue light. The heart and the Taoist are smiling charmingly, and their ten fingers are moving regularly. Listening carefully, the voice of Suqin behind her became more and more obvious. It's as if she's playing this suqin in the air. The two female disciples on both sides of Suqin, the voice of the magic in their mouths gradually sounded, and the spiritual incense in their hands was respectfully held, and the fairy aura was ethereal. And the purple light gradually became conspicuous. The majestic purple qi that shot out from the chest of the Heart Zhaodao person, the aura became stronger and stronger. Soon, the sound of the Suqin Qin was broken, and the two hands of the heart and the Taoist who were burning with blue flames pressed down on the token in mid-air and gently threw it to the ground......
"Uh......"
This is the third time that dizziness has come. Xia Fanxing, who had no choice but to hide on the other side of the mountain, heard the movements around Taihua Mountain, and he was also very curious. This time, both he and Hou Ying felt this last dizziness. This also means that the ceremony of closing the Great Array is officially over.
From this moment on, the disciples of the Tu Feng Sect were no longer protected by the Protector Sect Great Array. The disciples of the sects in the outside world will no longer have any fears. The big war will also be on the verge of breaking out.
"Senior sister, let's go!" Xia Fanxing slowed down, but still didn't poke his head out from this side, and asked Hou Yingdao in a low voice.
"Don't worry. Uncle Shi, they should have a plan to keep the sect. No matter what the people outside calculate, they will definitely attack Lingshan first, because the big array is there. Therefore, so many people must go to guard different spiritual mountains. And what we are looking for is the Seventh Master, wait for them to move first, and then we will move. Hou Ying came back from her meditative state and said calmly.
"Well... Well, I'll have to keep an eye on them. Xia Fanxing said, taking a few steps forward and poking his head out cautiously. Unfortunately, the fog in the open space has dissipated a lot, but the overall fog still affects the view very much. The wonders of Fang Caixin and Daoist people have disappeared. Xia Fanxing could only vaguely see what a dozen or so people were communicating at the foot of the mountain. In the lower section of Taihua Mountain, a crowd of people suddenly appeared, walking towards the foot of the mountain.
Xia Fanxing also noticed a person who was different from the disciples around him. Only this person was wearing a military uniform, and he was discussing something among more than a dozen high-ranking sect leaders in Taoist robes. It is also unknown when he appeared. But Xia Fanxing could be sure that this person who should be An Lushan was discussing the details of the pre-test of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony with the sect master.
After a while, nearly a hundred monks at the foot of the mountain had gathered. The dozen or so Yuan Ying disciples seemed to have made a decision and were divided into four groups. The hundred disciples behind also quickly divided into four groups of people, followed them, and walked in four directions, that is, the four mountain gates. Xia Fanxing's eyes widened, and he finally caught the figure of the master, and he and the Heart Soul Daoist took a group of people and walked towards the Nanshan Gate outside the Southern Qixuan Mountain.
Watching a group of people walk in their direction, although they haven't seen who is taking the lead yet. Xia Fanxing hurriedly ran back two steps to tell Hou Ying about the situation. She got up quickly, pulled Xia Fanxing to the other side, and said quickly, "It seems that the sect master's plan is to guard the four mountain gates first. In this way, you follow me, and don't be discovered just yet!"
After that, Hou Ying looked around, the footsteps of the group of people towards the Bu Lean Mountain and the two major mountain gates in the northwest became louder and louder, she bent her waist and waved her hand to Xia Fanxing, who was still a little stunned, he quickly came back to his senses, followed Hou Ying, and bent down to the other side of the Bu Leaning Mountain.
The footsteps were getting closer, but the two of them were lucky. The five generations of disciples who came from the foot of Taihua Mountain all chose to walk on the side where they had been hiding before. The two of them held their breath nervously, but they breathed a sigh of relief on this side and did not see a single person coming. It wasn't until nearly half a hundred disciples walked towards Buqi Mountain and Guanmei Peak, and after the footsteps gradually faded away, Hou Ying immediately straightened up, took Xia Fanxing, and hurriedly ran towards Qixuan Mountain in the south.
"Senior brother, I think the two of us still have the same concept on this point. "At the foot of Qixuan Mountain. The heart is balanced, holding a goblet in his hand, the liquor is mellow and refreshing. He hadn't drunk in a long time, but today, he had to have a good time.
The monk on the side showed a faint smile, this is the third soul Taoist of the fifth generation. He raised his glass and slammed it into Xinheng, draining it in one gulp. His eyes looked towards the five generations of disciples who surrounded Qixuan Mountain in front of him.
"It's hard to say...... Think about it, there are six major sects, plus one Shengyang sect. There are also nearly twenty second-rate and third-rate sects. In terms of numbers alone, there are at least two or three hundred. Such a formation has not been seen in the sect world for a hundred years. β
"If it were me, I would never let go of this opportunity. In the eyes of the soul Taoist, there was a trace of confusion.
"At this time today, let's open the skylight and say something, if it's really as we guessed, whether there will be a chance to speak in the future, it's not certain. β
"Sect Master is actually right, you can't make any more trouble at this time. But I'm afraid that people will also see through this and kidnap us with the empirical theory that everyone knows well. In fact, didn't the sect master think that it was very likely that the people outside were planning to destroy my sect this time? They gave us the steps, can we not go down now? But I'm afraid that these people will remove the steps when we are halfway there. I'm afraid of this, and there's no way to avoid it. Alas......"
Xin Heng lifted the wine vat from the stone table behind him and filled another glass for himself and him. After sighing for a while, he put the wine jar in the hands of the junior disciple who was waiting with the other fellow disciples, and the people of the Heart Cangdao. He patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and said, "Let's all drink some." Senior brother will bring you a cup. Don't be too nervous. β
The person in the heart of the Taoist smiled, raised the wine vat and poured it into his mouth first, "The words you two said just now are called bad hearts." Isn't it just a fight, it's been quiet for a hundred years. What is there to be afraid of! If I die in battle, let that girl from your family, Senior Brother Seven, take my disciple, and she will definitely teach better than me!"
With a wave of his hand, the dozen or so wine glasses on the stone table flew into the hands of the disciples. The bold heart Cangdao people poured wine for everyone. The manpower of the mountain gates is distributed, forty percent of the side disciples, and sixty percent of the main line disciples. Some of them also had the same concerns as Xia Fanxing and Hou Ying, and suspected that this battle would be a real battle. And some people chose to believe that the Supreme Elders had solved the problem and discussed it with the envoys of the outer sects, and their attack was just for show. No matter what kind of person, whether it is a junior brother or a junior sister, after pouring it up, this glass of liquor will simply be drained in one gulp.
In front of the mountain gate and the foot of the mountain, the fog is the thickest. At this time, before the five generations of disciples who surrounded Qixuan Mountain, there was still a group of vanguard main forces. The phalanx composed of two hundred dead soldiers from Fanyang Hu surrounded the open space in front of the mountain gate. Their figures could only be seen in the thick fog. The hundred dead soldiers at the front, all dressed in heavy armor, it seems that An Lushan also invested in them. And before everyone arrived at the Tu Feng Sect, a large amount of elixir was added to the water source they used, which could make their muscles and veins solidify in a short period of time, and their skin became hard and indestructible. This large-scale elixir is said to have been refined by the mysterious Taoist priest "cousin" of An Lushan, and it is definitely not a small project.
And the Heart Zhao Daoist was stationed alone in Zhongling Mountain Taihua Mountain, and at this moment he was ready to open the second layer of the sect protection barrier. Although the effect was far inferior to the Great Array of Protectors, it was still barely able to resist the attack outside the mountain gate.
These two preparations made in advance are the guarantee to resist the opponent's first onslaught. Xia Fanxing and Hou Ying came to the hidden place near Qixuan Mountain, and they were surprised to catch a glimpse of the pretended dead soldiers blocked in front of the mountain gate in the clouds and mist. If... If the Sect Master is acting, these props are too sophisticated. even gave Xia Fanxing a feeling that the sect had always planned to fight to the death with the outside sect! Sect Master, are they going to fake it, are they really going to do it?," he thought playfully.
was observing the situation around Qixuan Mountain, thinking about how to appear in front of Xin Heng. At this time, he did not notice that a black crow appeared in the sky overhead, but it remained quite silent. Hovering high above the heads of the two.
"Senior brother, look, over there. These two children are ...... "Even though Xia Fanxing and Hou Ying have been so careful, they are still one trick behind." This spirit crow is a spirit bird that has been raised by the soul Taoist for a long time. The crows found their hiding place and lay down in the grass at the foot of the mountain. The Soul Dao was able to sense it immediately. In order not to startle the snake, he cast it over the corner of his eye. So, even if the two of them were well disguised, they were immediately discovered by him.
The Heart Soul Daoist immediately poked the heart of the wine and poured the wine, and whispered. The man put down his glass and looked in his direction suspiciously. In an instant, a violent sense of panic came to my heart.
Xia Fanxing and Hou Ying! What are they doing here? Xin Heng looked at Xia Fanxing, who was lying on the grass, thinking that he was hiding well, and a burst of ignorant karma rushed to his heart. These two children, do you know how dangerous it is here! One is only in the early stage of foundation building, and the other is only in the late stage of foundation building, and they feel that they can stand up to the sky!
"Hou Ying and Fanxing, why are they ......here," the Soul Daoist muttered to himself in shock. He hurriedly pulled Xinheng and motioned for him not to alarm them first.
The Xincang Daoist who was standing in front of them also heard their conversation, and cast his gaze over, feeling that he couldn't believe his eyes, and muttered, "Senior brother, your apprentice... There is also a confused senior brother and his daughter... Isn't there two junior disciples guarding the inner sect!"
Xin Heng whispered to his soul, smiled bitterly at Xin Cang in front of him, and didn't know what to say. He cast his gaze quietly on the grass on the oblique side, and countless thoughts gradually rose in his heart.
Soon, Xia Fanxing and Hou Ying felt something strange. The two of them raised their heads almost at the same time, and at the same time they met their eyes with Xin Heng. The two of them were shocked, but they didn't rush away. Because, looking at the expression on Xinheng's face, he didn't seem to be too angry.
Especially Xia Fanxing, he frowned slightly, and then looked at the master without fear.
I'm sorry, Master, for worrying you. But I really have to come. If you don't come..... I'll be more sorry.
"W-w-"
At this moment, the two hundred dead soldiers in the clouds and mist took two steps in unison. The heart of the soul Dao was tightened, and he immediately understood that there was a situation outside the mountain gate, and he stepped into the air, volleyed into the air, and went straight to the mountain gate. As expected, the two hidden weapons accurately pierced into the necks of the disciples guarding the door, which should be highly poisonous, and the two disciples had already returned to heaven.
"Who is coming! The rats who only dare to release cold arrows report their names!" The Soul Daoist in mid-air pulled out the spirit sword with black qi wrapped around his waist, pointed towards the dense fog outside the mountain gate, and asked sharply. But, no one responded to him. No one could see clearly how many uninvited guests had gathered in the dense fog outside the Nanshan Gate and other mountain gates at this time.
"Senior sister, don't move yet... There's a situation over there......" Xia Fanxing turned his head when he saw Xinheng and whispered to Hou Ying.
A moment later, a bell-like voice rang into the ears of everyone in front of Qixuan Mountain. At the same time, all the disciples and soldiers who were guarding the mountain gate and waiting for the battle sounded this voice in their ears.
"The thief went against the sky, and Ruzong helped to abuse him. The despicable and evil thoughts of the rebellious ministers and thieves dare to reach the heavens. The old man is here, and he only has a few words that he wants to explain. In the past three months, we have already witnessed that you are stubborn, and there is no longer any reason to tolerate it! Today's battle, gathering all sects and sects, is to destroy your thousand-year-old array and destroy the thief's sacrifice to the heavens!"
"First of all, you are also considered to be an ancient sect, but you don't know how to cherish your qi. The Li family of the Tang Dynasty, how can you have any grievances against you? You are the same as my Nine Lotus Sect, both came from that era. Datang has a century-old foundation, the people are prosperous and healthy, such a prosperous era, you and I know that it is not easy to ......"
Xia Fanxing and Hou Ying also heard this bell-like voice. At the same time, a burst of induction suddenly appeared in his dantian. It was the storage bag he was carrying! He sensed it carefully, and it turned out to be an object in the storage bag that had been idle for a long time, and suddenly it was inducted.
After Chang'an City saw Xinheng that day, the sect's secret order given to him by the master. A bronze coin engraved with the words "Taihao Lingbao". It has the effect of transmitting sound for thousands of miles. He took a closer look and found that the last word on the copper plate had disappeared at some point. Then, suddenly, there was a sound in my ears that Xinheng had just heard.
"Master can think of a reason for you and your senior sister to come. If I were a teacher at your age, I would do the same. β
"I can't tell you a lot of things now. However, since you are here, you are taking this matter seriously. Your heart to contribute to the sect is understood by the teacher. And the danger that follows, you should also understand. Fanxing, if after today, our sect is defeated, Master will definitely try his best to protect you. β
"Since you're here, I have something to say for the teacher, and I'm going to tell you in advance. After all, after today, everything should be unknown. β
"About, your biological parents...... Before, I only told you that your father was an official in the court at that time......"
Xinheng's voice took over his body and mind. The Qingyu Daoist of the Nine Lotus Sect, who was speaking in righteous words outside the sect, was gradually ignored by him......
