"Who is this? How could it be him?"

Looking at the lifeless corpse on the ground, Xiao Xia and Mingyue were dumbfounded. Falling from mid-air and falling from the ground just on a tumbling rock, the head has become like a meat bun that has been punched, but it can still be vaguely identified that this corpse is the young man who had fled before.

But just a few breaths ago, the figure that was majestic in mid-air and seemed to be able to control heaven and earth was clearly not like this, just when it was about to crush Xiao Xia and the three of them into powder, it suddenly fell down without a head and suddenly turned into this young man, which is like an incredible joke. Xiao Xia felt that her head was a little insufficient for the first time.

Mingyue's eyes widened even more, and her face was incredulous: "How did you become this person? What about that very powerful old Taoist priest just now? Isn't he going to kill us right away? Why did he suddenly become this person?"

Flying over and landing beside the three of them, Zhang Yuhong didn't seem too surprised, he just glanced at the young man's corpse and sighed and said: "Sure enough, this is the technique of distraction, and the one who escaped before is the real earth spirit master." This was just a shell that he had temporarily attached to with his magic thoughts, and now all the mana on this shell had been exhausted. ”

"What?" Xiao Xia was even more surprised. "The one who fought with us before was just a shell puppet? even this puppet is so powerful, how powerful is that earth spirit master?"

Zhang Yuhong shook his head and said, "It's not what Xia Daoyou thought. The Earth Spirit Master's Yang God Law Body was essentially just a spell, and he had previously attached a part of the Yang God Law Body to this young man. Before the mana is exhausted, the one who is against you can also be said to be the Earth Spirit Master himself. If he casts a profound spell like the one just now, the Earth Spirit Master can only project all his divine thoughts here. The body can't move. After all, the boy's shell was just a pedal that would allow him to stop here. Such a body that could fully carry his mana and divine thoughts was also extremely difficult to find, and he was unthinkable that he would be willing to use it in this place. ”

"I see. Xiao Xia also nodded. "This turned out to be just a shell, no wonder my Soul Calming Bell spell worked so well. ”

Shifang also struggled to stand up from the ground at this time, judging from his face and the few mouthfuls of blood spit on the monk's robe, it seemed that he was really seriously injured, and looked at the young man and said: "Amitabha." I heard that the most important thing in the Heavenly Master's spiritual technique is the word sincerity, and this young man can actually withstand the mana and divine thoughts of the Earth Spirit Master. That is to say, from the heart, he can fully agree with the will of the earth spirit master, and the earth spirit master is not that the human race cannot imagine that the human heart in the world has fallen so much that even the beast human heart is completely indistinguishable."

"That's right. Zhang Yuhong nodded and glanced at Shifang. Sighing. "Speaking of which, the ancestor founded this method or borrowed from the magic power of Buddhism, the master just opened his heart and wanted to use the Buddha's luminosity to dispel evil thoughts, only to be taken advantage of by the earth spirit master to take advantage of the commonality between the Yang God Dharma Body and the master's method. Hit the platform. I didn't warn the master in any hurry. However, the master was seriously injured, and he was really sorry. ”

Shifang shook his head: "The three thousand avenues can prove Bodhi, and Zhang Daoling's predecessors are eclectic and learn from the strengths of all families, and they are really big-minded." How can the poor monk blame Zhang Zhenren for not being proficient in his studies? It is also fortunate that this earth spirit master does not have much mana left on this young man's body, if he can still maintain that Dao Dharma just now for a blink of an eye, the three of us will be wiped out. ”

"Yes, it's a thrilling one. Zhang Yuhong said and bowed to the three of them. "The three of them fell into this dangerous situation, thanks to the help of the three of them. Poor Dao is really ashamed. ”

Mingyue immediately glared at her: "Then you will lift the ban on the three of us." What's the use of just saying thank you with your mouth?"

"The three of them are still carrying the secrets of my Dragon and Tiger Mountain, even if this prohibition has not been used. Formally, it must also be left on the three, and I ask for the forgiveness of the three. And I said a long time ago, this is the case, I, Zhang Yuhong, am desperate for my life, and I must ensure the safety of the three of them. ”

Xiao Xia, who had been silent and thoughtful, suddenly asked, "Why did the Earth Spirit Master use this method? If he is here, we have little chance of winning, why do we still use this puppet body? Isn't it an extra move?"

Zhang Yuhong thought silently and replied, "This should be caused by the nature of the spirit master of that place. No matter how advanced the Dao method he has cultivated, the nature of beasts will be difficult to get rid of after all. As a rat, it is in his nature to be cautious, and if it is not necessary, he will not want to take risks even if he is 90% sure. As I said before, if his Yang God Law Body uses too much mana, it is in danger of collapsing, so it is better to store the mana consumed by the budget on the body of the young man, if it can win before it is exhausted, it will naturally be good. If there is a case, it will not damage his roots. Speaking of this, Zhang Yuhong turned his head to look at the corpse of the giant snake that was no longer moving not far away, shook his head and said: "At most, it is the life of his thousand-year-old friend, although the snake and rat can have a nest for the time being, but after all, it is only a selfish beast nature." ”

Looking at the surrounding valley landforms, which were almost destroyed by the serpent's deathly struggle, this is actually the most insignificant force in this vicious battle. Recalling the thrill just now, Zhang Yuhong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Speaking of which, thanks to Xia Daoyou, that combined blow of the Soul Suppression Bell and Ice and Fire should have injured his Yang God Law Body, otherwise even if he used that Dao Dharma Appearance in anger, he would not have exhausted his mana so quickly." If the Earth Spirit Master can really cooperate with this snake demon, it will be difficult for us to have a chance of winning. ”

Xiao Xia groaned for a moment, nodded and stopped talking.

A faint voice came from under a large pile of rubble. Zhang Yuhong then remembered that they were not the only ones here, and with a wave of his sleeves, a wave of anger pushed away the collapsed rocks not far away, revealing the old road of Yuntong that was half crushed below.

###

It turned out that the Lingshanzi old Dao who had caused a sensation in Hongjing City was actually a monster in human form, and any act of accepting disciples was just to coax ignorant people to devour him. As soon as the news broke, it immediately caused an uproar.

Hundreds of people died in the mouth of the monster in this incident. It is simply appalling that this kind of thing happened in the Central Plains, which is considered to be humane, especially in Jingbei, which is not far from Longhu Mountain. Go without saying. This matter will definitely be recorded in this year's Demon Eradication Order.

Of course, at the same time, it is also the prestige of Zhang Yuhong's real person, this royal demon real person once again confirmed the prestige of the first master of Longhu Mountain, not only revealed the true face of the monster, but also killed the thousand-year-old demon alone. The body of the snake demon like a hill was placed outside Hongjing City, attracting many outsiders to run to watch, and some even tried to buy a piece of meat from the disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect who were in charge of guarding. Taste the taste of this thousand-year-old demon.

Looking at the people lining up to go to the Heavenly Master Taoist Temple to offer incense, their faces were full of piety. Xiao Xia suddenly felt that even if the true identity of the Earth Spirit Master was leaked, it would not necessarily cause any turmoil. These Shengdou people, village husbands, foolish women, and ordinary men who only eat a mouthful of food on the rivers and lakes are really not interested. They also don't have the ability to understand anything too complex and profound, they are used to a very simple and clear view of right and wrong, who is good and who is bad, and what is good must be good. What is bad is that everything must be bad. What kind of heavenly master actually used human life to raise monsters. The fact that the true demon who was given the name of the Son of Heaven was actually excluded in Longhu Mountain, these are simply incredible things beyond their comprehension.

And the Heavenly Master Sect is obviously familiar with dealing with these things, for example, there is no need to think about it at all, the Yundao people who survived Shekou positioned the real culprit of this turmoil as the snake demon, Zhang Yuhong is naturally a heavenly master who saves the suffering, and he himself also contributed to the strategy of seeing through this monster. As a result, this turmoil quickly became a great thing to promote the prestige of the Heavenly Master Sect. Many of those who came to the Taoist temple to offer incense were relatives who were buried in the belly of the snake, and these people were especially excited, crying and kneeling down and shouting thank the Taoist master under the Heavenly Master for slaying demons and eliminating demons. avenged their loved ones. What the truth is, it doesn't really mean much to them.

For Natsu, of course. There are many meaningful things in this turmoil. It's just that how to slowly discover the meaning of it is a rather troublesome thing, and in the two days that he has been resting in Hongjing City, this has always been on his mind.

But when he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, asking people became the only way, so he found Zhang Yuhong.

Zhang Yuhong spent the past two days meditating and pranayama to regain his vitality. Although that battle was only a few breaths, he was also going all out, that thousand-year-old snake demon was enough to set off a great storm anywhere, and it was idle to crush one or two not small sect families, he was able to kill it in just a few breaths, in addition to his extraordinary strength, he did use skills beyond his limit.

Zhang Yuhong didn't want to interfere with how the people of Yundao publicized this turmoil to the outside world, although his identity was detached, but he consciously did not interfere in any affairs in the sect, since the Taoist of Hongjing City was a person from Yundao, then he had to do it.

Although he knew that the sound of walking could not be concealed from a master like Zhang Yuhong, Xiao Xia still politely reached out and knocked on the door of the quiet room. This is a place specially opened up by the people of Yundao for Zhang Yuhong to live, and I don't know what his intentions, Yuntong also strictly ordered any Heavenly Master Sect disciples other than himself not to harass the real person of Fu Mo. Moreover, in the past two days, the people of Yundao have only come to visit once in a hurry.

"Xia Daoyou, please come in. As soon as his finger was about to knock on the door, Zhang Yuhong's voice sounded at the same time as the knocking sound in the quiet room.

Xiao Xia pushed the door in, and saw Zhang Yuhong sitting cross-legged on the futon and stretched out his hand to him, and a futon closest to him moved slightly towards him, just in the position where he could sit down after he took two steps. This qiē is just right without the slightest pyrotechnics, making him feel as if he has stepped into a small world of its own, and he himself has unconsciously integrated into it. This feeling is a bit like feeling the momentum from the old man Xu Zhengzhou when he was in the Nangong family house in Yuzhou, but if you distinguish it carefully, it seems that there are some essential differences, but how different it is, it is not something he can say.

"Xia Daoyou, is there anything wrong?" asked Zhang Yuhong.

Xiao Xia nodded, sat down cross-legged on the futon, and replied, "I just came to ask Zhang Zhenren for some Taoist questions." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yuhong smiled slightly. "Xia Daoyou is a disciple of Maoshan. Own teacher. Although everyone is in the same group, but Xia Daoyou came to ask me like this, aren't you afraid that the elders of your own family will ask you?"

The Maoshan sect of the Shangqing Sect was a divergence from the Heavenly Master Sect. After two or three hundred years, especially under the support of the current imperial court, intentionally or unintentionally, there is already a faint momentum of standing side by side with the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain. Longhu Mountain is the self-proclaimed ancestral garden of the Daomen, and looks at Maoshan from the perspective of the side branches. Many Taoist priests of the Maoshan faction were also extremely dissatisfied with the style of Longhu Mountain, especially when Xidi went south, Longhu Mountain held Jingnan and did not come out, but Maoshan fought with Xidi under the leadership of He Jinzhi. He also worked with the Pure Land Zen Temple to capture the countless ghosts and ghosts generated after the war, and since then he has been unwilling to succumb to the Heavenly Master Sect. That is to say, He Jinzhi has an indifferent temperament, and he is not willing to accept all kinds of support from the imperial court for Maoshan, and he also tries his best to restrain the places where there may be conflicts with the Heavenly Master Sect. In recent years, the two major factions of Daomen have been able to maintain a harmonious atmosphere on the surface. But there are indeed many people in their bones who don't think so.

"My identity as a disciple of the Shangqing Dynasty is just an acquaintance hanging on the Maoshan faction, and I can't do it. Zhang Zhenren should also be able to see that my ability to be a three-legged cat is not what an authentic Maoshan disciple should have. Xiao Xia also generously admitted that with Zhang Yuhong's eyesight, these things can't be hidden. "And my master is just a wild Taoist priest with no sect, he didn't teach anything except teach me to draw talismans, and he himself can't do it. He told me that the Tao is the way of the people of the world. The law of the people of the world, the whole world is the Tao. The whole world is the Fa, so I don't have to have any gateway views, I can ask people for advice when I can, ask people for advice when I don't understand, and learn what I can learn. ”

Zhang Yuhong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded and praised: "The Venerable Master's words are wonderful, and people who have no great realm can't have such a vision." If you are fated to see him, you must ask him for advice. ”

Xiao Xia could only smile bitterly, if it was pure lip service, his master might really be regarded as one of the best people in the world. It's a pity that you can't fill your stomach with just mouths, otherwise your master and apprentice don't have to wander around, selling talismans and catching some demons and imps in the countryside.

"I see, no wonder you are extremely proficient in the use of talismans, but the other basic skills are quite poor. However, the soul bells you sent when you were facing the earth spirit master before were the real Maoshan descendants. It's not a wild way that you can learn anywhere. ”

Xiao Xia replied: "I learned it from a notebook given to me by He Jinzhi, which he gave to me to thank me for helping Miss He Ji'er before, and it wasn't true that he accepted me under the Maoshan Gate." So boy, I have always been hearsay about the profound realm of Taoism, but after seeing the spells performed by the earth spirit master and Zhang Zhenren the day before yesterday, my eyes were opened, and I felt that this Taoism was like an endless ocean after reaching the innate realm, and the magic and mystery were indescribable, and there were many puzzles in my heart, so I came to consult Zhang Zhenren. I don't know what kind of scene this method is like when it reaches the innate level?"

Zhang Yuhong pondered slightly, and then said with a smile: "Since Xia Daoyou has that vision, Xia Daoyou is also a talented and benevolent person, and it is not easy to hide the poor Dao, so I will do my best to solve Xia Daoyou's doubts and thank Xia Daoyou for his righteousness that day." ‘

"Speaking of this innate realm, it's not easy to explain it in a few words, and the statements of various sects and sects are not the same" Zhang Yuhong thought for a while and asked: "Xia Daoyou has a wide range of knowledge, although his own cultivation has not reached the innate level, he should also have used the talisman of the innate realm, or the top-grade talisman commented by the Shenji Hall, right?"

"The form of this acquired spell is fixed, and there is a fixed way to use its own divine mana to encourage the vitality between heaven and earth, no matter who uses it, it is much the same, and even exactly the same, it is a little bit like those organs of the Divine Machine Hall, as long as the drawings are set, whoever will build it will come out of a mold. As for the innate talisman," Xiao Xia thought about it carefully. He is also considered to be the one with excellent luck among the Taoist priests, and he has encountered extraordinary, and there are several innate talismans in his hand, and he has also carefully recalled and felt the extraordinaryness of those high-grade spells. "It's not clear in detail, it's just that compared to the rigidity of the middle and lower grade runes, there is a smart and fresh air, as long as the divine thoughts are instilled, it seems to have life after the automatic evolution, and the power of heaven and earth is not only far more than the middle and lower grade runes, but the way of use is more flexible and changeable, and there is an essential incomprehension as if there is life. ”

"Daoyou has a unique vision and analyzes reason. Zhang Yuhong nodded. "Then Xia Daoyou knows why compared to the middle and lower grade talismans, you can see them everywhere, but the top grade talismans are rarely seen?"

"It should be that it is not easy to make zuò, and I don't know why it is not easy," Konatsu replied. In terms of many middle and lower-grade spells, compared with the direct use of spells, drawing runes can be used as materials with the help of things containing spiritual power, and outlining cloud patterns can also be drawn slowly in steps, so it is much simpler and less labor-saving than directly casting spells. But compared to the middle and lower grade talismans that can be seen everywhere, the top-grade talisman is indeed too rare, needless to say, it is not at all that the wild Taoist priests in the messy rivers and lakes can make zuò, even those who have cultivated to the innate level of the masters, they rarely make such a thing.

"Because the acquired is just a 'technique', or just a 'instrument', and the innate is already a 'law'. The technique is easy to learn, the instrument is easy to make, but the law is rare. ”

Zhang Yuhong stretched out his hand and picked up a teacup next to him, and there was only a glass of water in the teacup. He smiled and held the teacup in one hand, and the other hand was spread in front of him, and the water in the teacup suddenly turned into a piece of water vapor and rose, and actually turned into a cloud between a small square inch and drifted to his hand of the empty stall, and then turned into a thin hazy rain thread and fell, after the palm of his hand converged into a puddle of water, it slowly evaporated from the surrounding area into a mist and rose, and then turned into rain and fell. There was still half a cup of clear water quietly in the teacup, and the other half of the water was rising and condensing and falling in his palm, simulating a scene of the cycle of heaven and earth, which looked amazing.

The water in the teacup, or the teacup, is the acquired state, and the water in his hand, or the change in the operation of the water, is the innate realm. Xiao Xia probably understood the meaning of Zhang Yuhong's metaphor and nodded. After thinking about it, he asked again: "What kind of realm has the earth spirit master reached above the innate level? His Yang God Law Body, as well as the spells that Zhang Zhenren and you and him cast that day, how many spells can be regarded as above the top grade?"

"No frets. Zhang Yuhong shook his head with a smile. "Heaven and earth can be divided, and the law of heaven and earth can be divided?" (to be continued......)
