The Black Night Mountain can be said to be worthy of its name, the invisible yin qi permeates the mountain, and then turns into a dark cloud, from morning to night, the sky is dark, if you rush into it, you will feel groggy and weak.

If you stay in a place where evil qi or yin qi is concentrated for a long time, people are easily affected by it, and at least the spiritual platform will be dirty, producing all kinds of hallucinations, and at worst, they will lose their souls and become crazy, and even their bodies will be gradually corroded, and the yang energy will gradually decline, and the longevity will be lost.

As the name suggests, the function of the "Yin Halberd" is to divert these yin qi or evil qi, as if it were a flood discharge.

After receiving the order, the monks took out the bag from the saddle bag for placing the stone powder, and then took the bag to the mountain pass, and drew a large "Yin Halberd" with the stone powder that was nearly 100 zhang long and 10 zhang wide, which was nearly 100 times larger than the ordinary "Yin Halberd", and only a "Yin Halberd" of this scale could divert the yin qi in a mountain.

As for sending a martial artist to block the earth's qi, it is also for the purpose of serving the "Yin Halberd". If you don't block the earth's qi and make it a stagnant water, but let it flow non-stop, and there is constantly "living water" injected, it will become a classic topic in the Vientiane Dao Palace, a pool is filled and discharged at the same time, how long can the pool be filled or drained?

The martial artists have great strength and abundant physical strength, ten people can be worth more than 100 people, and with the assistance of gunpowder, they soon blocked and destroyed several key nodes according to Lingquanzi's instructions, forming a trend of closing the door and beating dogs.

The Qi Refiner who occupies the high ground sends a signal with a talisman.

Lingquanzi, who was guarding the mountain pass, stretched out his hand, raised his two fingers in the middle of the food, and painted in the void, a thin red line sprayed out from his fingertips, like ink under the pen, with the fingertips turning up and down, in a blink of an eye, it was a pattern book similar to a halberd, just suspended in the air, sprinkled with clear light, and overflowing with spiritual light.

Then he waved his hand again, pointed with two fingers and made a sword point, pointed at the halberd pattern, and said the word "go".

Ordinary alchemists still have to draw with the powder of the stone, but the cultivation of Lingquanzi is higher, and he can already draw the "Yin Halberd" without external things such as the powder of the stone.

In an instant, Lingquanzi's "Split Yin Halberd" and the huge "Split Yin Halberd" on the ground merged into one, like the finishing touch.

The name of the "Split Yin Halberd" is actually more like a simple arrow, and at this moment, it actually lit up with a faint fluorescence. Immediately after the wind rises on the flat ground, this wind is not the peach and plum spring breeze, not the hot summer breeze, not the bleak autumn wind, not the cold wind, but the yin wind, the wind came with bursts of angry howls, like crying and laughing, along the direction of the arrow pointed by the "Yin Halberd", a stream of brains surging out of the mountain, like a river that can not be seen by the naked eye.

After this lasted for more than half an hour, the yin qi in the mountain was exhausted, and the night mountain, which had seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, cleared up, as if the clouds had cleared the sun.

Arthur saw that the Taoist priests of Tiangang Hall had "purified" this place in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but say to Qi Xuansu beside him in half-baked Central Plains official dialect: "Qi, you guys, very good. ”

Qi Xuansu actually saw it for the first time, but he said, "That's what we do, can it be bad." ”

As he was talking, Zhang Yuelu, who was standing on a big tree, floated down and ordered: "Chief Lingquan, Deacon Qi, and Chief Bishop Arthur, you follow me into the mountain, and the rest of the people obey Deacon Zhou's command, don't let one go." ”

Everyone received the order together, and the person whose name was named by Zhang Yuelu followed behind Zhang Yuelu and walked towards the mountain.

Shangguan Dun heard that there was no name of his own, so he hurriedly came to Zhou Bai's side, and in the past few days, Shangguan Dun had become familiar with several deacons.

Among the few people who entered the mountain, Qi Xuansu was undoubtedly the weakest in cultivation, but he was also the best in the Kunlun stage, and several people walked on the rugged mountain road as if they were walking on flat ground, and soon came to the gate of Thornmut Fort.

As Elle said, it was indeed an abandoned castle, part of the walls had collapsed, and all the wooden structures had been destroyed, leaving only the basic masonry structure, but the castle gate was still intact and tightly closed.

Zhang Yuelu stretched out his hand and pressed on the huge city gate that was two feet high, only to hear a "rustling" sound, like spring eating mulberry leaves, the two giant gates turned into pieces of fine sand, and went away with the wind, leaving nothing.

This is exactly the "Six Void Tribulations" used by Zhang Yuelu to defeat Xu Kou with one move, it is the top supernatural power of Qi Refiners, and the threshold is extremely high, that is, after simplification, ordinary Qi Refiners can only be cultivated by heaven and man, but the immortals can control it in the realm of manifesting babies.

This is where the immortals are unreasonable, or the Taoist will not copy the immortals in their hearts, and they will not hesitate to toss out a scattered person who is not like the four.

Arthur had a Sumeru object, they called it a "space bag", in short, it was a similar thing, but Arthur took out a two-handed giant sword from it and entered the castle first.

Lingquanzi followed, taking out two talismans at the same time, making them hang around his body on their own, slowly rotating around him.

Zhang Yuelu took out his "Divine Dragon Handcuff" and a bag of custom-packed projectiles, and handed them to Qi Xuansu: "I don't need this thing, you take it for self-defense." ”

Qi Xuansu took the "Divine Dragon Handcuff", put the projectile into his carry-on bag, and did not thank him for the first time, but said, "I wrote it down." ”

Zhang Yuelu walked into the castle at this time.

Qi Xuansu hung up the "Divine Dragon Handcuff" and the "Blue Bird Handcuff" on the left and right, and tightened his short sword, and then he was the last to enter the castle.

The castle was dimly lit, and the hall at the entrance was lined with twelve columns, but half of them had collapsed, making the place crumbling.

With a wave of Lingquanzi's hand, many wall lamps were lit up again.

Arthur skilfully and quickly explored the entire castle hall and found a number of human bones, some of which were old and some of them had recently died, which undoubtedly confirmed Ellie's suspicions.

After Zhang Yuelu entered, his eyes immediately fell on a tattered tapestry with a strange symbol painted on it.

This is a popular decoration in the Western Regions, also known as tapestries, woven from wool, and the Central Plains prefer to use screens.

Qi Xuansu looked at Zhang Yuelu's gaze and couldn't help asking, "What is this?" ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "That's ...... The mark of the Gu Immortals. ”

So far, the war between Daomen and Gu Immortals has lasted for more than 200 years, and Daomen once had the opportunity to completely end this war, but it was defeated because of the intervention of Buddhism, which directly led to a series of wars between Daomen and Buddhism in the Western Regions, until the head-to-head confrontation between Xuansheng and the Buddha, it was not over.

This has also led to the so-called "post-trireligious era".

The so-called "First Three Religions" refers to the era when Confucianism dominated the world, when Taoism and Buddhism joined forces to fight against Confucianism and finally defeated Confucianism. After Daomen replaced Confucianism as the orthodoxy of the world, Confucianism and Buddhism became their vassals. In the past, Confucianism was the leading force to promote the integration of the three religions. Now it is dominated by Taoism and continues to promote the integration of the three religions.

At a certain stage, Daomen has become the de facto leader of the three sects, and the three great priests of Confucianism, Confucianism, Theory, and Qi, choose to pledge allegiance to Xuansheng, which is equivalent to the deputy head of Daomen.

In the "post-three religion era", Buddhism challenged the dominance of Taoism, and Taoism joined forces with Confucianism to suppress Buddhism, and finally Buddhism was forced to make a truce with Taoism and recognize Taoism's position as the leader of the three religions.

However, Buddhism still disagrees with Taoism on many matters, and friction continues. Especially in the case of Gu Immortals, Buddhism openly supported the Dao Sect to eliminate the secret association, but secretly supported the Gu Immortals to contain the Dao Sect.

The Gu Immortals developed their followers in the form of secret societies, which made the Daomen spend a lot of energy every year to eliminate all kinds of secret associations.

Qi Xuansu asked, "There are traces of Gu Immortals here, which means that this place is originally a stronghold of a secret association, that is to say, the reason why those sinners collect living souls is because they want to please Gu Immortals with this, and then get the help of Gu Immortals?" ”

"It can be understood that way." Zhang Yuelu nodded.

Qi Xuansu finally couldn't help but ask, "Who is Gu Immortal?" ”

Zhang Yuelu hesitated for a moment and said, "In the context of the Daomen, 'Gu Immortal' is not a compliment, but similar to the likes of 'evil gods' and 'demons', and it is a powerful existence that the Daomen must eradicate. They are called 'immortals' because the methods they use are not sorcery...... There are even some beings who are Daomen patriarchs. ”

Qi Xuansu was taken aback, and subconsciously lowered his voice: "Daomen Patriarch!?" ”

Zhang Yuelu continued: "There is a saying called 'Righteous people use evil laws, and evil laws are also good; Evil people use the Fa-rectification, and the Fa-rectification is also evil. Daomen didn't fully agree with this sentence, but they had to admit that the Gu Immortals were the existence of 'evil people using the Fa'. ”

Qi Xuansu asked again, "Why did Gu Immortal betray the Dao Sect?" ”

Zhang Yuelu did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "The power of the flying sword is better than that of the firearm, and the power of many powerful spells is far better than that of artillery, but why do the Daomen and the imperial court still vigorously develop firearms?" Why was the organ faction of the Quanzhen Path able to compete with the Fu Gong faction? Have you thought about it? ”

Qi Xuansu was stunned.

Zhang Yuelu obviously knew that many ordinary Taoist priests could not reach the secret of the Dao Gate, and said softly: "If one day, all the magic powers in the world disappear, then where should we go?" ”

Qi Xuansu frowned: "What does this have to do with Gu Immortals?" ”

Zhang Yuelu sighed and said: "Of course it matters, it's just that the Daomen has rules, and this is not something you can know now, so I can't tell you directly, when you become a Sanpin Youyi Daoist, or become a deputy mansion master or deputy hall master, you will naturally understand." ”

Only then did Qi Xuansu understand that the reason why Zhang Yuelu knew about this secret was not because of the identity of the Taoist priest of the Four Grades Sacrifice, but because of the identity of the deputy hall master, so Lingquanzi, Sun Yongfeng and others also did not know.
