Chapter 24: The Great Asura
The former site of the corpse raising place on the west bank of Tsowenbu was once one of the nine major workshops under the name of the Avatar Hall, but a man-made disaster caused by the Zhiming Sect made this place in ruins, and after several rounds, it fell into the hands of the "inn".
This huge workshop, comparable to a county town, is like a concentric circle, the outer circle is the outer area, most of the place has been turned into scorched earth, only scattered vegetation and buildings remain, at this time it is directly sandy, like a desert. The inner circle is the core area, where the legendary corpse breeding ground is located.
It is said that this workshop is at its peak, the grass is green, the cranes and koi, the pavilions and pavilions, at first glance, not only does not have the slightest yin and ghostly energy, but it is like the fairy family scenery.
But now, this place has turned into a ghost, as if it has come from the human world to the netherworld.
The huge "Ghost King" is wreaking havoc here, and the elite sent by the "Inn" has been killed and wounded.
It's not that I don't want to escape, but I can't escape. Daomen's "phoenix eye armor three" only destroyed most of the above-ground buildings, some of the underground buildings still survived, but now, this part of the underground buildings have also been destroyed, the "inn" nine people in addition to the old man left above, the remaining eight people all entered the underground building, the result is that the old man left on the ground was the first to die, and the remaining eight people because of the collapse of the underground building, can not leave the first time, and have to die.
At this moment, a huge Daomen flying boat crossed Tsowenbu and appeared in the sky above this place.
Shangguan Jing was still standing on the bow of the ship, looking down below.
There wasn't much expression on his face, for a deputy hall master of Tiangang Hall who had just escaped from the battlefield in the Western Regions, the seemingly terrifying scene was actually nothing, and it was no more terrifying than a shamanic shaman.
One of the principals stood behind Shangguan Jing and said softly, "I have already contacted the Avatar Hall, and it is indeed the sealed 'Great Asura'. ”
Shangguan Jing frowned, and his voice was cold: "What does the Transformation Hall think, if it can't be taken away, it should be destroyed directly, why did you choose to seal it on the spot?" If that's all it takes, it's not too late to make amends, and after so long, why not carry out a second remedy? ”
The director smiled bitterly: "According to the statement given by the Transformation Hall, it's not that he is unwilling to destroy it, but that he can't do it, at that time, this 'Great Asura' was located in the depths of the corpse raising ground, and with the manpower arranged here by the Transformation Hall, he couldn't destroy it at all, so he could only choose to seal it on the spot." As for why the secondary treatment was not carried out, the word on the side of the Avatar Hall was unknown, and it probably involved ...... The prevarication of several deputy hall masters of the Avatar Hall was delayed. ”
"Then it fell on the head of our Tiangang Hall." Shangguan Jing snorted lightly.
It's hard to say anything more.
Shangguan Jing's eyes looked at the figure standing on the shoulder of the "Great Asura", and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Cult demon." ”
At the same time, the figure on the shoulders of the "Great Asura" was also looking up at the huge flying boat in the air, and his teeth tapped lightly: "Tiangang Hall?" The quick reaction was a bit unexpected, but I don't know which deputy hall master came. ”
"Yes, you're right, it's not a reaction, it's a prediction in advance, or we just happened to hit their guns, it's just a coincidence, but it's a rather fatal coincidence."
His words didn't seem like talking to himself, but like communicating with others in the air, only to hear him continue: "I know, after getting what we want, I will evacuate, and I will not have a head-on conflict with the people of the Daomen." Besides, I'm alone, and I'm no match for others. ”
"How many thousand houses have been blocked? It turned out to be a rare joint action of the Daomen and the imperial court, and it deserved to be a national teacher. ”
"Okay, okay, I got it, that's all."
A very special talisman burned out, and this telepathic conversation ended.
The figure stomped his feet, because he was standing on the shoulders of the "Great Asura", and this action was a bit of a pat on the shoulder, which was a final farewell. In all fairness, he was still a little reluctant to take this "Great Asura", but he also understood that under the siege of the Daomen and the imperial court, it was impossible to take this "Great Asura" out of this place.
On the flying boat, the director handed a dossier to Shangguan Jing's hands, and its key places had been folded in advance.
Shangguan Jing directly opened the file and let the wind howl, but the file in his hand did not move.
He quickly swept the text on the file.
"Xuan Sheng not only split the 'creation' into the Transformation Hall and the Heavenly Machine Hall, but also took this opportunity to veto some projects, including all the corpse raising places left by the first generation of earth masters. Because of the supreme authority of the Xuan Sheng, no one dared to openly oppose it, even the second-generation earth master had to show obedience. However, there are still some high-grade Taoist priests who leave the Daomen openly or secretly to express their dissatisfaction with the Xuan Sheng. At that time, the Daomen were too tired to deal with the challenges of Buddhism. These people formed the Secret Society, the Eight Divisions, to continue their research. ”
Shangguan Jing just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it, these were all things he already knew, nothing new.
"The members of the Eight Divisions are very complicated, in addition to the high-grade Taoist priests who have betrayed the Daomen, there are also some high-grade Taoists who have not betrayed the Daoist Sect have also secretly joined the Eight Sects in their personal capacity, and they put forward the purpose of helping each other, and there are no high-grade Taoists who have betrayed the Daoist Sect to provide shelter for the Eight Sects, and at the same time share the fruits of the Eight Tribes. I wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly, but because it involved the True Truth, I ended up with nothing. ”
Seeing this, Shangguan Jing said softly: "It's interesting, but in the past, it was indeed the Quanzhen Dao that was in charge of the 'creation', and both the Transformation Hall and the Tianji Hall had a deep relationship with the Quanzhen Dao, and it was not surprising that the Quanzhen Dao was involved. ”
Shangguan Jing continued to look down.
"It's just that to my surprise, in addition to being inextricably linked to the high-grade Taoist priests within the Daomen, the Eight Divisions have also had similar relationships with the core members of other secret societies in recent years, including the Zhimei Sect, the Qingping Society, the 'Inn', the Qibaofang, and the 'Heavenly Court'. Because of the extremely close and complex exchange of interests between them, although these secret societies also have contradictions with each other, they still form an alliance that is only related to the eight tribes. ”
"If you have to make an analogy, it's probably like a partnership to do business, Zhimingjiao, Qingpinghui, 'Inn', Qibaofang, and 'Heavenly Court' pay for shares, which is considered to be the owner, not involved in the operation, only responsible for investing money and dividends, and the eight departments are the shopkeepers, who are mainly responsible for the operation and also participate in dividends. In order to reconcile the parties, the Eight Tribes and other secret societies formed a special ...... Let's call it an assembly, similar to the golden gate of our Daomen. They call it 'White Jade Hall'. The members of the White Jade Hall are all dual identities, one is a member of the White Jade Hall, and the other is a member of the secret association to which they originally belonged. ”
Shangguan Jing's eyelids jumped slightly, and he asked the chief behind him, "You have already read the record here, right?" ”
The chief bowed and said, "Yes, this is a record left by one of the directors of our Tiangang Hall, but this director has died due to an accident. ”
"Now that you've seen it, what do you think the 'White Jade Hall' in this mean?" Shangguan Jing asked.
The principal pondered for a moment and said, "Yujing is also known as 'Bai Yujing', and their name 'Bai Yutang' seems to allude to the Daomen. ”
"It's the same thing, and I think so too." Shangguan Jing lightly flicked the file in his hand, making a crisp sound, and then looked down.
"After the establishment of the White Jade Hall for many years, there was a gradual tendency to break away from the major secret associations and set up their own doors, and the major secret associations also noticed this trend and decisively intervened. After an unknown infighting, Bai Yutang no longer tried to stand on its own, but still maintained a considerable independence. I tried unsuccessfully to make friends with a member of the White Jade Hall, and had to return to Yujing to report on my work. After the debriefing, I will be sent to Jiangnan, and I can't stay for long......"
This is the end of the dossier's record, which was left by the master when he returned to Yujing to restore his life, and not long after, he died in an accident, which makes it difficult not to be suspicious.
Shangguan Jing closed the file in his hand and asked, "You said that the people below are from the Eight Divisions or from the White Jade Hall?" ”
The director said: "My subordinates think that the eight tribes don't seem to have such courage. ”
"You mean, Bai Yutang has such guts." Shangguan Jing said slowly, "An old secret association on the Daomen's 'Secret Association List' does not have such courage, and an emerging association that is not on the Daomen's 'Secret Association List' has such courage. It's a miracle. ”
The principal wisely did not answer.
Shangguan Jing didn't expect the principal to answer, so he handed over the file that had been closed in his hand to the principal and said, "Whether it is Bai Yutang, the Eight Divisions, or the 'Inn', they are all within the scope of this purge, so you don't have to keep your hands. Just use ...... 'Five Thunder Bombardment', the thunder method is to the masculine to the strong, and it is the most restraining these eerie ghosts. ”
The chief took the dossier and took the order.
After a short time, the flying boat began to absorb the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth, and a huge illusory magic circle appeared under the hull, and even various talismans began to appear on the hull.
Then a thunderball the size of a dragon's eye was condensed in the sky above the flying boat, and from time to time there were traces of thunder and lightning spilling out from it between slow rotations, turning into flying flowers, and slowly dissipating.
The world's Dao Law, with the Thunder Law as the respect, this Thunder Bead is made of hundreds of runes condensed.
The "Great Asura" was pulled by the breath and became restless.
The next moment, the thunder bead flew straight above the nine heavens.
In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky.
The black clouds pressed down layer by layer, the sky thunder induction, and the purple electricity rolled, as if the catastrophe had arrived.
