Chapter 61: The Strongest Sword and Shield, Seeking the Sword Spectrum (6,000 Words Chapter, Seeking Collection)
The return of the fourth uncle and Zhang Lie's epiphany can be said to be very timely. Because, the sect is going to renovate the mountain protection array.
In the past four years, Zhang Lie has cultivated the land in the sect and practiced swordsmanship, and he has lived a comfortable life, but the entire Nanyue Tongxuan cultivation world, in fact, has almost gradually stirred up the storm because of his relationship.
The Yan family, one of the three major immortal cultivation families in South Vietnam, almost suffered a family destruction forty years ago, because Yan Zangfeng suddenly woke up, cut the land in time to pay compensation to shrink the front, and formed a blood monk of the Hall of Life and Death, and fought a few beautiful battles, so that he could barely retain the vitality of the family.
contracted his forces, made every effort to support outstanding family monks, and finally offered a Yan family Zifu monk, so as to welcome Xue Zhenren to enter the Yan family and restore his prosperity.
However, Cheng also Yan Zangfeng, defeated Yan Zangfeng, forty years later in the battle of the Netherworld, Yan Zangfeng in order to seize the Yin Yuan Fruit, successively offended Dingjun Mountain, Chen family, Gongsun family, Jin Honggu and other monks.
The Chen family and the Gongsun family are just that, Dingjun Mountain has gradually entered the demon path over the years, and Jinhong Valley is strong and enterprising, and is trying to expand its own power and sphere of influence.
These two forces don't provoke, they both want to bite you down, not to mention the current situation where the division is famous.
Everyone thinks that the Xue Zhenren who is supported by the Yan family will not carry this matter to death, after all, it is the Yan family who is punished for bleeding, and the Yan family has dried up the blood, and they dare not miss the sacrifice of this Xue Zhenren.
However, the world is so elusive, this Xue Zhenren of the Yan family is really in trouble, and he brought three or five friends to Dingjun Mountain and Jinhong Valley, and at the same time joined forces vertically and horizontally, dividing the various forces in the Xuan Cultivation Realm of the Yue Kingdom, and now it has vaguely formed a situation in which the sects are restrained by each other.
Even if there is no such external cause, the mountain protection array of each sect must be repaired regularly.
The so-called formation, connected to the earth's veins and the stars, can gather the power of heaven and earth and provide one. It can be said that the Mountain Protection Array is the most important protective barrier for any sect.
Yan Zangfeng relied on the Yan family's mountain protection array and the elite Yan family's children back then, and successively besieged and killed several foundation building realm monks, so as to deter the enemy and retain the family heritage.
During the chaotic war of the ancient sects in the Xuanhuang Great World, there was no shortage of Jindan and Yuanying monks who borrowed the power of the formation to refine and kill the old demons who dominated the world.
It is said that the top sword cultivators in ancient times can cultivate the killing power of the sword to a realm unimaginable to today's cultivators, and challenge them beyond the ranks.
And now through the Xuan Realm, the only possible way to kill the enemy beyond the level is to use the power of the formation.
Sword cultivators and array mages are recognized as the strongest swords and strongest shields in the Xuan Realm.
The sword cultivators recited to each other, it was the sword Zhong Shenxiu who dominated the world back then, in order to save the same junior sister, he held the sword alone and did not return to the sky, with the same realm of cultivation, breaking the formation, the enemy, the bloody battle for three hours, the sword qi rushed into the sky, the master of the no return realm and the hundreds of elite demon cultivators under his command were mostly punished, and the name of the sword god was recited for 10,000 years, and it will not fade slightly until today.
What the array mages recited to each other was the old monster of the Yin Candle back then, who used the Yuanying Realm cultivation as the palm of the heavens and star maps, and borrowed the mountain protection array to refine the immortals of the God Realm on the spot, and the fierce power shook the world.
But sword cultivation, the talent required is too heavy, without that talent, there is no talent, and no one can make up for it, but it is a formation, which seems to be more affinity with most monks.
After all, even if you are not good at formations, there is no obstacle to being in charge of a top-level formation.
But the formation also has its own weaknesses, one of which is that the resource consumption is too huge, and the higher the formation, the more so. Second, it can be as short as tens of thousands of years and hundreds of years, so it needs to be maintained.
Because the mountains, rivers, leylines and even the stars of Zhou Tian seem to be eternal, but in fact, they are moving slowly, and there have been such examples in the Tongxuan cultivation world:
After the two sects fought, and the two sides fought bloodily, one sect besieged the other sect, but the attacking side had exhausted its potential and was unsustainable, but the defender was sitting on the advantage of supporting the mountain array, and the victory was in hand.
Then at this time, there was a sudden earthquake that had not been encountered in a thousand years, and it was so hard that the defender's mountain protection array was shaken, and the desolate sect master shouted three times in the ancestral hall:
"The crime of non-war is the most important thing for this sect!"
Then he committed suicide in despair, and he had a deep cultivation, but he didn't even have the heart to fight to the death with the enemy, but it was hard to blame him.
However, this is an overly extreme situation like this, after all, it is rare, so the mountain protection array is still the most relied on by the various sects in the Xuan Cultivation Realm.
Even if there is no movement of the stars, the displacement of mountains and rivers, the earth's leylines and celestial phenomena are also slowly changing, so every hundred years, all sects that have spare power must carry out the repair and upgrading of the forbidden law to adapt to the changes of heaven and earth.
In this context, all the true disciples of the sect have to stand up and make great efforts.
There are tens of thousands of disciples in the entire Golden Rainbow Valley Sect, but there are no more than fifty true disciples, and basically they don't have to do anything, they hold twenty spirit stones every month.
At the same time, the various tasks of the sect's general affairs hall are basically never arranged for them, so that these true sects can concentrate on cultivation in the future.
But there are also some special incidents, such as maintaining the sect's mountain protection array, and these true disciples must all stand up, inherit the master's order, and subordinate the disciples.
At this time, if there is any urgency, you have to put it aside, unless you are like the Seven Evil Dao people, who have just been promoted to the Purple Mansion realm, and need to stabilize your cultivation.
The entire sect, the three Jindan Ancestors, the twenty-one Purple Mansion monks except for the Seven Evil Daoists, and even more than fifty true disciples, all had to contribute to this matter.
The same is true for Zhang Lie, not to mention that he can hit the back of his head with his heel, it is also a similar situation, the entire Jinhong Valley Mountain Gate spans two spiritual mountains, nearly thousands of miles away, and the three Jindan ancestors live in the middle, coordinating and deducing the ban changes, and the twenty-one Zifu monks each live in the spiritual vein, controlling and suppressing one side.
So a lot of broken, subtle, but very important affairs, if not these fifty or so true disciples are to do it, who will do it?
If it's a veteran person, it's okay, but someone like Zhang Lie who hasn't been promoted for a long time, is not familiar with the network, and the formation cultivation is not enough, he is really guilty.
Fortunately, Zhang Lie can also be called a deep background, like his master of the Seven Evil Daoists, who entered the Dao by killing, building the foundation and opening up the Purple Mansion without using any auxiliary spiritual objects, even the three Jindan Ancestors had to take a look at it, and no one in the twenty-one high-level Purple Mansion wanted to offend, and those enemies who built the foundation realm back then, as long as they could still be resolved, they could shrink their heads as much as they could.
And Zhang Lie's own ability is strong enough, and his temperament is good, his formation cultivation is insufficient, but his divine sense and mana are profound, energetic, and he is willing to do things and is not afraid to work hard.
Therefore, with all aspects of cooperation, it is also harmonious, and after a period of busyness, it has greatly expanded the network of the sect, not to mention, and has a deeper understanding of the formation.
On this day, the sky was clear, and within the Golden Rainbow Valley, the cave of the Seven Evil Daoists.
During this period of time, hundreds of sword lights flew up and down in the entire Golden Rainbow Valley, combing the qi machine.
Recently, a high-level array mage discovered that there was some aura condensation around the cave of the Seven Evil Daoists, and it was obvious that the monk in charge of this place had failed to sort out the changes in the overall qi in time.
In fact, in the entire mountain protection array, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of qi machines circulate at every turn, there will always be a few places where the aura is stagnant, and if the number is small, it will not affect the normal operation of the entire large array, but if there are many such places, it will naturally reduce the power of the large array.
If there is a problem in such a place, of course, Zhang Lie will be thrown out to deal with it.
When Zhang Lie's imperial sword flew to the cave of the Seven Evil Daoists, he found that the senior sister Li Manmei, the third senior brother Zeng Mingxu, and even Cheng Xuesong, Kong Xiu, and Xuan Yuying were all there, obviously all of them were arrested and came to assist in dealing with the aura, in addition to more than a dozen outer disciples who were ordered to obey orders.
At this time, seeing Zhang Lie's sword flying, the senior sister Li Manmei, who was sweating on her cheeks and commanding, was obviously red-faced, if it was someone else, she wouldn't be so embarrassed, but now she was her own little five, but it was not easy to get off the stage.
"Little Wu, how come you have time to come over when you're so busy? Is it that the General Affairs Hall is making trouble for you, my senior sister has not been able to do a good job, and you have lost face with outsiders. ”
"Senior sister, it's serious for you to say that, and the general affairs hall also knows that the master is in retreat here, and it's normal for his subordinates to rely on senior sister and a few of you to be busy and can't push the formation. The formation spirit veins of the Cave Mansion cultivated in the Purple Mansion Realm, how could we, the Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators, easily push it? ”
Zhang Lie said this, it seemed that there was no problem, but in fact, he still saved face for his senior sister and the other senior brothers and sisters present.
Because the Seven Evil Dao people have not broken through for a long time, his cave mansion has not been replaced, and it is still a third-order spiritual qi vein, if it is the aura of the cave mansion cultivated in the Purple Mansion realm, it is indeed difficult to promote the cultivation of the qi realm monks, but the aura of the foundation building realm monk cave mansion, the power of these people still can't be handled, and it is somewhat ugly.
Flying down with Senior Sister Li Manmei, Zhang Lie first saluted the senior brothers and disciples present, and then began to watch the deduction around, deducing the place where the qi of the formation was stagnant.
The operation of the monk's exercises is already in line with the principles of the Heaven and Earth Formation, as long as the comprehension of the exercises he is cultivating is deep enough, then it is impossible to be ignorant of the formation.
Zhang Lie's comprehension of the exercises he cultivated was deep enough, and his family and sect had taught relatively basic formation knowledge, coupled with the experience he had had during this period of time, as time went by, gradually, he also saw the problem with the qi of this formation.
"The great array of the sect to protect the mountain, for the formation of the nine shadows to attract the soul, on weekdays, the rising qi of the sect suppresses the condensation of the earth's leyline yin power, once it encounters a strong enemy, it can communicate with the nine ghosts to descend, the yin flame is monstrous, and then there is the pure yang magic weapon of the great elder of Qingyang, the extreme yin and the yang, the two are intertwined and consumed, even if it is a primordial old monster, it is difficult to defeat the fierceness of the edge when the big array is at its end."
Although the hole cards are to be hidden, it is difficult to hide such things as the mountain protection arrays of various sects.
And the great elder of the sect, Qingyangzi, almost has the title of the first monk of the Yue Kingdom, and the disciples of the Golden Rainbow Valley are also proud, so even Zhang Lie knows the powerful magic weapon of the mountain protection array and the great elder, some time ago, the Yue Guoxiu and the Qingguo monks fought for the spiritual mine, and many low-level monks of the various sects have seen Qingyangzi win the battle with one enemy, and under the fame, the fame of the great elder of Qingyangzi cannot be hidden.
"The reason why our qi veins here are stagnant and unmoving, it must be caused by the forty-seventh level change of the Yin Transformation Technique, and the change of its qi should be like this......
After talking for a while, he noticed that it was gradually difficult to fully express his intentions with words, and then Zhang Lie stretched out his hand and commanded one sword qi after another, in front of all the senior sisters and brothers present, he drew a graphic of the qi machine to seduce and change, and told it while burning.
From a basic yin transformation recipe, step by step, Zhang Lie successively deduced more than 70 kinds of recipes and nearly 1,000 kinds of qi changes, and then focused on it, until it was extended to within a radius of several miles, within this range, the various qi engines were involved in each other's changes.
Finally, when the explanation was completed, Zhang Lie already knew in his heart that his current self was much stronger than his previous life.
In the previous life, I was sleepy when I saw the word mathematics, and in this life, I practiced double for 20 years, and under the pressure of life and death, I insisted on cultivating and sublimating my soul, even if I returned to my previous life, I should be able to learn advanced mathematics and go to a prestigious university.
However, when he raised his head unsatisfied, he found that among all the people present, only the senior sister Li Manmei seemed to have an understanding and understanding in her eyes, and Zeng Mingxu, Cheng Xuesong, Xuan Yuying and others all had the same expressions as when they were in high school in their previous lives:
It seems to be concentrated, but in fact, there is no understanding, or no understanding.
"Well, in short, Senior Brother Zeng went here to the place of Chiyin Change, Senior Brother Cheng went here, Senior Sister Kong and Senior Brother Seven went to the place of turbidity and change, Senior Sister, you just wait by my side."
Under Zhang Lie's meticulous arrangement, all the junior brothers and sisters, as well as some outer disciples who came to help, began to stand in their own positions to assist Zhang Lie in promoting the circulation of the overall qi engine.
Zhang Lie prepared the Dharma platform and array flag in the calculated position, recited the mantra with the trick, and began to channel the formation force, compared to others, Zhang Lie also had an advantage, he cultivated the Purple Heart Dafa and his divine sense mana far exceeded that of the monks of the same realm, and even exceeded the ordinary Qi cultivation twelve-layer monks.
If the mana of the divine consciousness is deep enough, there is no longer a need to calculate too accurately to promote the channeling formation, and the so-called one force to suppress ten will be like this.
After a few hours of busyness, after changing the position of the formation several times, the aura qi machine that was condensed in the cave of the Seven Evil Dao people was finally led by Zhang Lie and everyone to penetrate and channel, and the aura of heaven and earth rumbled and flowed, gradually dissipating the sound, and the general rule was not sluggish.
"Whew, it's finally done. Xiao Wu, thanks to you this time, otherwise the face of the master would really not be able to be maintained with just a few of us stupid things. ”
Feeling the subtle changes in the aura of heaven and earth, Li Manmei felt it in her heart and said with emotion.
She had been following the Seven Evil Daoists for many years, and her eyes and eyes were far more than ordinary monks, and Li Manmei could see that the accumulation of the Dao method of the fifth junior disciple in front of her had gradually exceeded the limitations of Qi Realm cultivators.
These other disciples of Shizun want to go further, they need a pile of resources, an opportunity and even a piece of luck to assist, and Zhang Lie in front of him, all he needs is time, as long as he is given enough time, at least promotion to the foundation building realm is a matter of course.
Li Manmei looks like a beautiful middle-aged woman, but that is actually the result of her good health, in fact, Li Manmei is in her forties and almost fifty, two years older than Yin Yifei.
Li Manmei gave her whole life to her master, the Seven Evil Daoists, and Yin Tianqiu, the Seven Evil Daoists, was also worthy of her.
Through various methods, he has prepared two Zhuji Dan for Li Manmei, and a few years ago, he compensated his only son Yin Yifei for bankruptcy, and did not use Li Manmei's foundation building funds.
According to Li Manmei's insight and thoughts, she had long wanted to try to build a foundation, but Master Yin Tianqiu kept suppressing her, asking her to go all the way at the age of sixty and swallow two Zhuji Dan in a row to impact the foundation, and said that this was the biggest method for her.
Li Manmei didn't understand it before, she just followed her master's orders.
But in recent years, she has gradually understood:
After the age of sixty, the monk's qi and blood are lost, and the certainty of the success of building the foundation will become smaller and smaller, but before the age of sixty, his own Dao comprehension is insufficient, and forcibly rushing through the level is completely fighting for luck.
"However, this fifth junior disciple is different from us disciples, he really has a chance to go further, even like a master......"
Thinking like this in her heart, Li Manmei wanted to maintain the relationship with this confidant disciple for her master even more.
Over the years, the relationship between Li Manmei and Zhang Lie has been very close, in Li Manmei's imagination, their two disciples, one for the master to open up the battle, flying swords to fight, the other for the master to sort out the housekeeping, diligent and thrifty, so supplemented by a hundred years, the three of them can go further on the road, is there a better choice than this?
In Li Manmei's mind, there was nothing better, so after combing the formation qi machine, Zhang Lie wanted to leave the sword, but Li Manmei insisted on leaving the person and letting Zhang Lie take a short rest in the cave before leaving.
The so-called human relations, help each other more, let each other help more, so that the exchange will naturally be close.
Zhang Lie was going to leave, but he thought of something halfway, and after a short pause, he finally landed at Li Manmei's rescue.
The two senior sisters and younger brothers walked into the Seven Evil Caves side by side affectionately.
"It's really incomparable, Senior Sister's attitude towards the Fifth Senior Brother."
Looking at the backs of the two, Cheng Xuesong, who was handling affairs outside the cave, said with a little sourness.
"Do you have a better understanding of the swordsmanship and Taoism of the fifth child? Hurry up and get to work. Hearing this, the third senior brother Zeng Mingxu reprimanded, so that Cheng Xuesong didn't know what to say.
As for Kong Xiu and Xuan Yuying, there was only envy left in their expressions.
At the same time, inside the Dongfu walkway.
"Xiao Wu, over the years, you have lived in Honghefang and cultivated your fields wholeheartedly, I thought that your cultivation would regress because of this, but now I see that whether it is cultivation or understanding of the Dao, you are more than the other disciples of Shizun, including me. Can farming also increase cultivation, and is there such a reason? ”
"What's the matter, it's just that I've seen a lot during this time, so I've learned a hand or two from time to time, senior sister, you're too humble."
"Little Wu, if there are any difficulties and troubles in cultivation over the years, after the master is out of the customs, I will help you ask, or take advantage of the master's leisure time to inform you, and let you come over to ask yourself."
“……”
When Li Manmei said this, Zhang Lie glanced at the other party, as if he wanted to say something.
Li Manmei has been handling all kinds of housekeeping for her master all these years, how could she not see this kind of look, and suddenly stopped.
"Talk about anything, what is polite to your senior sister?"
Zhang Lie was embarrassed and smiled a little "shyly" when he heard this, and then said after the senior sister continued to look at him:
“…… Senior sister, over the years, I have become more and more indifferent in cultivating the Blazing Lotus Sword Technique, I have always wanted to ask Shizun for a few sets of other sword techniques to practice and increase my sword qi, but Shizun is bent on hard cultivation, and I really can't find a chance. ”
"This, this." Hearing that Zhang Lie wanted to ask for a sword trick, Li Manmei was a little hesitant for a while
The Seven Evil Daoists divided the Seven Evil Sects created by themselves into seven and passed them on to seven disciples, with the initial intention of paving the way for the future path of their son Yin Yifei.
However, Li Manmei has several other sword tricks in her hands, and she is different from Wei Boyuan, Zeng Mingxu, Cheng Xuesong, and Zhang Lie for Yin Tianqiu after all.
Many years have passed, and now the times have changed, and the Seven Evil Daoists themselves have successfully opened up the Purple Mansion and become the high-level of the sect, but his only son Yin Yifei has been abolished and has become a living dead.
Among the other disciples of Shizun, Zhang Lie, the fifth old man in front of him, is the most promising and filial one, if he directly rejects the other party, Li Manmei is also worried that it will chill the fifth child's heart.
Shizun may not be afraid, but there is no need, and besides, Li Manmei herself is afraid.
"It's not that Shizun doesn't want to pass on you, and Shizun has been in retreat and cultivation for the past few years. That's it, I'll go to Shizun's study and show you those sword tricks, but you don't use them easily, and after Shizun personally passes them on to you, you wait a few years to perform them, lest I be punished for this. ”
"Thank you, Senior Sister, I know that Senior Sister is the most willing to take care of me." Zhang Lie was overjoyed when he heard this, although his own swordsmanship was based on the Earth Demon Sword Sutra, but it was based on the Seven Evil Sword Techniques as his flesh and blood, at least in the two realms of Qi Cultivation and Foundation Building, there was no sword technique more suitable for his own practice than the Seven Evil Sword Techniques.
"You, you know that bullying your senior sister made me make mistakes." Reaching out hatefully and nodding Zhang Lie's forehead, Li Manmei turned around and went to Yin Tianqiu's study in the Seven Evil Cave Mansion.
It didn't take long for the "Flying Snow Sword Technique", "Nine Swords Shaking the Earth", "Wind Dancing Willow Sword Technique", "Gengjin Jue", and this book of sword books all fell into Zhang Lie's hands.
"I really don't dare to give you the Seven Evil Recipes, for fear that the master will be angry, but these four sword recipes should be enough for you to lay a foundation, right?"
Li Manmei only thought that Zhang Lie wanted to strengthen the foundation, which was a normal desire to seek Taoism and enterprising, so she asked.
"It's enough, it's enough, thank you, senior sister, in the future, senior sister but I told Zhang Lie to do my best." Zhang Lie saluted with both hands and thanked him again, he had already comprehended the four elements of earth, fire, water and wood, and the sword technique in his hand just corresponded, which was enough to learn.
"You, you still say this kind of thing to your senior sister, Shengfen."
Seeing that Zhang Lie was already satisfied, Li Manmei breathed a sigh of relief and pinched the stinky boy in front of her hatefully.
