Chapter 22: The Demon Atmosphere Strikes the High Altar
In the west school field of Yanze City, Zhao Huang wore a sword and climbed on a high platform. An altar is set up on the stage, and twelve brave soldiers are arranged under the altar, holding flags and flags, and standing on their backs.
I saw Zhao Xiao's expression solemn, there was neither a single paving on the altar in front of him, nor did he see the incense on the table, but only a large Ding'an Town Altar, which contained 500 discarded armor pieces.
With the permission of General Wei, Zhao Xiao began to make talismans, this time not to write a pen talisman, nor to cast a spell water, but to open the altar to practice the law, hook the subtle qi of heaven and earth, and refine five hundred talismans in one go.
And at present, outside the school field, there are also many people who are curious to take a look, if it weren't for General Wei's order, no idle people are allowed to get close to the high platform, I'm afraid those soldiers can't help but rush to the front to see the excitement.
"What is this doing?"
"You don't know? General Wei invited the immortal chief of the Huaiying Pavilion and said that he wanted to refine the spell for us. β
"Those ghost talismans? Aren't they all written in cinnabar? Why do you have a big pot on the stage? β
"Who is going to do this, I ask? That's the ability of the immortal chief. β
Outside the school grounds, the soldiers exchanged heads and ears, and on the second floor of the inn and tavern in the distance, the monks of various pavilions also gathered early, taking up a good position to watch Zhao Xiao's practice. To be more precise, it is to see how Zhao Xiao makes a fool of himself-
"This talisman of the Huaiying Pavilion is really unscrupulous for fame and fortune, and he even claims to be able to refine thousands of talismans!"
"Throughout the ages, there have been very few such talismans, where can a talisman be able to do it? This person was extremely stupid, and he boasted about Haikou in front of General Wei. I want to understand how this talisman plans to clean up the scene after the thing can't be done? β
"In terms of foundation, the Huaiying Pavilion is second only to the Chongxuan Pavilion, and General Wei wouldn't dare to kill this talisman if he wants to, right?"
"Even if you don't kill it, I'm afraid that the reputation and prestige of the Huaiying Pavilion will be ruined by this person, and if General Wei wants to reuse the Huaiying Pavilion in the future, he must be carefully evaluated."
"Humph! Who told them to be courteous everywhere as soon as they came to Starfall County? It's really a shame for my generation of immortal cultivators, and now they are still messing around with those Qiu Ba. β
"Huaiying Pavilion, it has always been like this. At the Yingzhou Conference that year, they openly claimed that 'people have no immortal bones, and all kinds contain truth'. If this is the case, how can the Liang Gongzi of Chongxuan Pavilion summon many Dharma generals? It is nothing more than the bloodline of the immortal family, born to be true. β
"That is, as soon as Liang Gongzi came into the world, he was supported by immortals. No matter how many ants and demons there are in this Starfall County, they can't compete with the power of the immortal general's sword. Just let these people in Huaiying Pavilion show it, and when they make a lot of fools, General Wei can't stand it, so he will naturally go to ask Liang Gongzi to make a move. β
β¦β¦
Zhao Huang on the altar naturally couldn't hear such discussions, at this moment he was contemplating in front of Dading, the magic sword in his hand was empty, and the true qi formed a talisman, and at the same time silently recited the spirit mantra:
"It's too white, and it calms my heart. Eliminate the five soldiers, and the blade will not be hurt. Protect my five bodies and suppress my souls. Thieves and murderers, insects, snakes, tigers and wolves, those who seek me die, and those who harm me die. β
In the eyes of ordinary people, at this moment, Zhao Xiao is standing in front of Dading, his hair is scattered, and he is dancing with a long sword in his hand, which is a little funny and ridiculous in addition to solemnity.
But in the eyes of those who are good at looking at the qi, the magic sword in Zhao Xiao's hand is blazing, the sky is surging, and the hardware qi scattered in the heaven and earth gradually ingests Dading with Zhao Xiao's sword calligraphy.
"Interesting."
In the palace room, Liang Shuo reclined a few times, a light gauze tent hung around him, and a four-gauge mirror was suspended in front of him, in which the scene of Zhao Xiao opening the altar and performing the law clearly appeared, and reflected the flow of qi that was invisible to the mortal eye.
"With the armor contaminated with ferocious spirit as a guide, an altar is set up in the school field where the soldiers are trained, and then a large tripod made of hardware is placed. Prepare enough external spiritual materials, with true qi book talismans, similar to the trick of throwing spell water, and mixed with a bit of the subtlety of the Danding furnace fire mixture. β
Liang Shuo tapped his knee with his fingertips: "It's a pity, this person is Zhang Duanjing's student...... Jiang Ru, what do you think? β
Under the bamboo couch, a maid fiddled with the cup, moved well, concocted a cup of warm and fragrant drink, and handed it to Liang Shuo. There is a peach blossom blooming with the temperature on the transparent crystal cup, which is slender and lovely, and the fragrance of flowers is also wafting in the tent. These household utensils have become extraordinarily visible.
The maid named Jiang Ru glanced at Mingjing, and the corners of her mouth tightened a smile: "Childe, is this kind of trick of Jianghu warlocks and wild temple witches also worth your attention?" β
Liang Shuo took a shallow sip of the cup and said: "You don't understand, the technique performed by Zhao Huang is the method of saving the five-star body and fighting ghosts from the Tianxia Dynasty, but he only intercepted the Taibai Star to destroy the five soldiers all the way. If it's just this technique, it's not worth my attention. But he ascended the altar like this, but he was refining spells for many soldiers, and such scheming should not be underestimated. β
Jiang Ru thoughtfully: "Oh? I thought that this person was just bluffing in front of Childe. If those ordinary soldiers were to get a charm to protect themselves, wouldn't they be able to exterminate the bandits and demons on their own without the help of the son? In this way, how to show the prestige of the Liang family's immortal system? β
"I have heard of Zhang Duanjing's ability, but I didn't expect his students to be extraordinary." Liang Shuo said with a smile: "Such a talented person can only get the position of a talisman, which is like a pearl covered with dust." β
"Could it be that Gongzi plans to bring him to the Chongxuan Pavilion?" Jiang Ru asked.
Liang Shuo's expression was subtle, and he didn't answer directly: "In recent years, the Chongxuan Pavilion has become more and more erosive. Although our Liang family agreed to demarcate the legal position of the Gong product according to the immortal family lineage, in addition to the Liang family, the rest of the Chu, Zheng, and Wang families, the shadow of the Seven Xuan and Nine Ancestors has been broken, and the law of the immortals will not descend. Although he still claims to be an immortal blood yin, he is no longer much different from ordinary people. However, the children of the three families did not strive for cultivation and refinement, indulged in indulgence and profligateness, and when they heard that they were going to come to Xingluo County to suppress bandits and eliminate demons, they all claimed that they were sick and inconvenient to travel far. β
Jiang Ru covered her mouth and smiled, revealing a touching charm between her eyebrows: "Aren't those people all learning from their children?" You have always disliked mundane affairs, living and sitting to seek the demeanor of the fairy family, and you also took in our heavenly fox who was trapped in the blessed land of the mortal world. In the eyes of outsiders, you are a concubine and addicted to women, don't they just follow the same example? β
"Uninteresting." Liang Shuo said.
"Childe, if you don't want this Zhao Xiao to ruin your arrangement, why don't you let me disturb it?" Jiang Ru asked: "Opening the altar to practice the law, the most taboo is that the altar seat is shaken and the qi is out of order, and the Dharma protectors around Zhao Xiao are just ordinary soldiers." β
Liang Shuo played with the crystal cup: "You have a cup of tea." β
"That's enough." Jiang Ru leaned over, and a long-tailed phantom appeared behind him.
β¦β¦
Zhao Huang stood in front of the Great Ding, the magic sword was straight to the sky, and from the perspective of Ying Xuanzhaojing, at this moment, there was a white light in the sky hanging down like a waterfall, penetrating into the Great Ding, and the effect of the golden armor began to be blessed on each piece of armor.
The Golden Armor Technique itself is also a technique that has been deduced and simplified by predecessors, originally from the "Five Star Talisman and Ghost Fighting Method" compiled by the monks of the Tianxia Dynasty.
This kind of magic is not something that can be performed by one person, but a complicated magic ritual that consumes manpower and material resources. By channeling the five-star evil qi, it is used to deal with the big monsters that invade the mountains and rivers of one side.
Of course, Zhao Huang himself couldn't reproduce such a profound magic instrument, and he didn't know how to channel the evil qi of the stars before. Fortunately, because of the Chonghui armillary sphere, Xin Shunying instructed him on how to think about the stars and connect the star qi, so that Zhao Xiao could roughly deduce and restore the "Star Evil Art of War".
Looking at the Taibai Xingsha falling from the sky, Zhao Huang silently recited the great blessing of controlling evil, and a markinged talisman flew out from between his eyebrows, turning into the true form of a divine tiger and escaping into the white mang.
This move was not from Zhao Xiao's original intention, but was reminded by Lingxiao: "When I created "Shenhu Yinwen", it already contained a golden elephant. If the Divine Tiger True Form Talisman can be refined with abundant Golden Qi Machine, its edge will definitely be even stronger. β
At first, Zhao Xiao was still a little worried, thinking that opening the altar to practice the Dharma and refining the talisman seal would be distracted, but Lingxiao said bluntly: "The practice of the altar is to concentrate on the spirit and spirit, and feel naΓ―ve and natural. The Innocent Airflow Descending Altar was an excellent time for cultivation. Do you have to sit on your knees and spit out your thoughts to be considered cultivation? β
Fortunately, now that Zhao Huang has indeed entered the realm, the true form of the Divine Tiger has become more and more condensed and complete in the Taibai Xingsha, and the aura and vein have also grown.
What's even more mysterious is that because the true form of the Divine Tiger already has the great blessing of controlling evil, as a result, the Taibai Xingsha, which has dropped to the Great Ding, also has an extra point of evil control effect, which is also blessed on the armor.
The qi machine was handed over, and the spiritual sense was touched, Zhao Xiao vaguely sensed the past experience remaining on this pile of armor pieces, and a barren hill battlefield appeared in front of him, countless soldiers fought and shouted, and the blades collided and struck, piercing through the armor and piercing into the flesh, splashing blood and watering the earth, and all kinds of violence and ferocity lingered and gathered.
"Don't pay attention to such things." Ling Xiao opened his mouth to remind, Zhao Xiao hurriedly clasped his teeth to adjust his mind, and the jade bell of Mingtang Palace rang in his mind, shattering the illusion in front of him.
"Is that the old spirit of the defeated army?" Zhao Xiao asked.
"Yes." Ling Xiao said bluntly: "The soldier is ominous, using this kind of armor to practice the law, and after blessing, it is used on the battlefield, which may not be a good thing." β
"I'm just trying to give the soldiers a little more life." Zhao Xiao looked up at the sky: "The sooner the bandit is over, the fewer dead people will be." Together, not only will there be deaths on the battlefield, but there will be more deaths because of Ding Zhuang's loss and the acres of land are wasted. β
Ling Xiao stopped talking, and Zhao Xiao just silently kept his spirit.
And often at this time, the spiritual sense is the sharpest. Zhao Xiao noticed that there was a strange atmosphere around the school, and when he looked around, there was a demonic aura circling in the various colored qi machines that were forced open by the altar, and it gradually took shape.
"Spirits?" Zhao Xiao was slightly surprised: "There are actually spirits appearing in Yanze City?" β
Today's Yanze City is not an ordinary city, with all the monks of the pavilion gathered, and the imperial army stationed, these horses are often the most feared by miscellaneous spirits, even if there were spirits entrenched in the city originally, they must have hidden their heads and tails now and dare not show their faces.
And those who dare to show up at the monk's altar will not be a miscellaneous spirit, but must have become a climate and extremely rampant.
There was a touching sound of women's laughter in their ears, and the twelve soldiers surrounding the altar were a little unable to hold on, and the flags in their hands were shaking, presumably in their consciousness, there was more than women's laughter.
The hidden demon spirit monster was extraordinary, and the demonic atmosphere in the distance was spreading, ready to attack, obviously to make a move on the altar where Zhao Xiao was. If it is really allowed to destroy the altar, then not to mention that the spell is difficult to achieve, even Zhao Huang will be eaten by the spell because of the altar toppling and the disorder of the qi machine, which will cause injuries and bleeding, and damage to cultivation.
At this time, Zhao Xiao showed an extremely rare look of majesty, the magic sword in his hand was faintly pointed away, and a wisp of Taibai Star condensed into a sword blade and slashed down, breaking the spell to hide his body and forcing the spirit to appear.
"Ahh
A pleasant cry came out, and Zhao Xiao saw a red fox the size of a calf, with a big fluffy tail flicking behind him.
When Zhao Xiao saw this big fox, he didn't have the curiosity he had in the past, Zhuo Jian used the method, and shouted loudly:
"Demons and evil spirits, in front of the altar, bewitching and frolicking, it should beβ"
A divine tiger jumped out violently, and the tiger roared into the wind, and went straight to the fox demon.
"-Ambush!"
The true form of the Divine Tiger is extremely powerful, and Zhao Huang is not performing magic alone at the moment, but standing on the altar, leading the Taibai Star to descend, borrowing the strength of the elephant of heaven and earth, which is unstoppable.
Seeing that the true form of the divine tiger slapped down, the tiger power spit out the spell, and the fox demon couldn't dodge in a hurry, hit it hard, let out a wail, and then twisted his body, turned into green smoke and fled.
"It's pretty fast." Zhao Xiao snorted coldly, then blinked, and asked Ling Xiao, "Was my temper a little big just now?" β
"Ascend to the altar to move the law, change the gods and summon the generals, if you encounter demons and evil spirits, can you still speak gently?" Ling Xiao said: "The demons and evil have all been forced to the altar, and they will not be killed?" β
"Oh, that's just as well." Zhao Xiao glanced at Da Ding: "It's just right, this batch of golden armor talismans has also been lit, hurry up and call someone to try it." β
β¦β¦
The tent was rolled up by a cloud of green smoke and fell again, Jiang Ru fell heavily in front of the bamboo couch, although he still maintained his human form, he covered his waist with one hand, his face was pale and cold sweat was dripping.
"It seems that you underestimated this Zhao Fu official." Liang Shuo'an sat on it, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Jiang Ru did not hide her resentment on her face: "This Zhao Xiaogui, aunt and grandmother, I ...... I kind of remember him! β
"The tiger he summoned is very different from the generals I have known before." Liang Shuo put down the empty cup: "The spirit of the tiger and leopard is greedy for blood and fierce and irrepressible, and the general who summons him on the altar is the most upright and innocent. Unless ......"
Jiang Ru continued: "Unless it's the Immortal Family who drives the Protector Beast!" β
Liang Shuo glanced at Jiang Ru: "What?" Beginning to envy others? The Heavenly Fox of your Jiang family's lineage has been expelled from the Xuanpu and removed from the immortal list, and even the mana is not as good as before, and the Divine Tiger Split Spirit summoned by a mortal monk can hurt you like this. β
Jiang Ru also has a temper, but thinking that now that the old and young of the clan are under the fence, even he has to commit himself to this Liang Gongzi, so he has to suppress his temperament and say softly: "Childe, the concubine is just a female stream, where do you know about the battle array?" For a while, the enemy rushed forward, and asked the son to forgive one or two. β
"Remember this lesson and don't make such mistakes again in the future." Liang Shuo smiled calmly and looked at the light and shadow in the mirror: "This Zhao Xiao is really interesting, such a magic method, but he is still a talisman, what kind of mind is Zhang Duanjing using?" β
