Chapter Twenty-Four: Invitation to War
On the night of the third day of Zhang Yu's arrival at the Hanging Star Palace, the servants came to report that a monk named Yin Huan Court had asked to meet him, and had been waiting outside for an afternoon.
It's not that no one has come to visit him in the past two days, after all, he can settle in the Kaiyangzi Palace, which shows that the origin is not simple, so some colleagues are very interested in him and want to come and get acquainted.
It's just that he didn't have the heart to pay attention to foreign affairs because he was pondering the seal, but this time the visitor waited for an afternoon, in the end, it was a fellow cultivator, and it was too unkind to refuse, and he also happened to sit down, but he could meet with him.
He said to the servant, "Please come in." ”
The servant bowed and turned away.
After a while, a young monk dressed in a cloud red brocade robe walked in, and when he saw Zhang Yu standing there to greet him, he was also slightly distracted, but he quickly recovered his nature, raised his hand, and said: "In the Xia Yin Wan Court, Zhang Daoyou is polite." ”
Zhang Yuduan sleeve replied with a salute, and invited him to sit down, he himself sat down on the futon opposite, and after the servant served tea, he said: "According to what the servant said, Daoyou has something to find me?"
Yin Huanting did come from the matter, he didn't turn around in circles, and said bluntly: "Yes, Zhang Daoyou is here, he must have known about the Xuanzhen Theory of the Fa in recent days?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I have heard of it." ”
Yin Huanting said: "This discussion, a total of three days, yesterday's competition, we invited Yu Ruiqing Yu Daoyou, who settled in the Shaking Light Palace, and finally ended with a draw, and today's competition, Shi Yanxin Shidaoyou will personally go into battle." ”
As he spoke, he solemnly shook his head and said, "I'm coming back because I want to invite fellow Daoists to come forward and discuss the level of Taoism with True Cultivation tomorrow." ”
Zhang Yu said lightly: "I have no intention of fighting, and the Taoist friend invited the wrong person." ”
Yin Huanting said seriously: "Zhang Daoyou, among the people who really cultivated the Fa this time, Shen Ruoqiu and Nie Yin are the most popular, these two people did not show up yesterday, and they will play today and tomorrow."
Although the winner can continue to fight tomorrow, it is impossible for him to defeat the other person again, especially once the means of the master and the Taoist friend are exposed, the other person will definitely be able to find a way to deal with it. ”
Speaking of this, he said sincerely: "Therefore, we want to invite Zhang Daoyou to come forward." ”
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "I didn't know Daoyou before, why do Daoyou think I can win?"
Yin Huanting said calmly: "Don't hide it from Daoyou, we asked a Taoist friend who is good at divination to take a lesson, and the omen "light is in the handle", that refers to the two halls of 'Yuheng and Kaiyang', and there is no capable person in the Yuheng Palace, so only Zhang Daoyou, who is in the Kaiyang Palace, is where this victory lies. ”
Zhang Yu was noncommittal about this, but said: "Is this kind of victory or defeat?"
Yin Huanting's expression suddenly became extremely serious, and he said without hesitation: "Important, very important! If you lose this time, it will not only be the defeat of Xuan Xiu, but also the defeat of Xuan Fa!"
He said solemnly: "Daoyou don't think this is alarmist, the teacher is a disciple of Xuanzun, I learned from him that now in the Xuanting, there is a remark, saying that it is to give up the Xuanfa and support the creation, and it has set off a lot of momentum. ”
He paused, looked at Zhang Yu, and said very seriously: "Maybe Daoist friends think I'm alarmist, but that's the case. ”
Zhang Yu thought about it for a while, but he believed in it, because he was from Qingyang Shangzhou, and he had personally experienced those things, and he vaguely watched the game in the Xuan Court.
And if you think about it deeply, in fact, the matter may be more serious than what Yin Huanting said.
Because a whole set of records about building a Monk of Creation has now been sent out, and it is only the last step towards Xuanzun that has not been completed.
This means that as long as there are enough materials and manpower, there will be a steady stream of creation monks, and even as long as the Xuan Court is willing, the last pass can be crossed at any time.
At that time, whether the occult law existed or not, in some ways, was really irrelevant.
However, it is obvious that there are factions in the Xuan Court who do not approve of this move, and even occupy a certain upper hand, otherwise the matter of Qingyang Shangzhou would not have been carried out secretly.
He said: "Just a battle between Xuan Zhen and Zhen can change the situation?"
Yin Huanting shook his head and said, "No." But Zhang Daoyou, although winning can't change anything, but if you lose, the result will be worse!"
Zhang Yu looked at him for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "I know, I can promise Daoyou to come forward to fight, but I have one condition." ”
Yin Huanting's spirit perked up, his body straightened slightly, and said, "Fellow Daoist, please speak." ”
Zhang Yudao: "I won't compete with that fellow Taoist in public, if you want to fight, he needs to come to my place, no more than five people are allowed to watch the battle, I will try with him here, if not, then that's it."
Yin Huanting thought for a moment and said, "I know, I will do everything I can to make this happen." He stood up and shook solemnly, "Then please ask Daoyou." ”
He said goodbye from the Kaiyangzi Palace, and went all the way to Tianshu, and on the way, he heard the news of Shi Yanxin's victory over Shen Ruoqiu, and he couldn't help but feel better.
However, he also knows that the meeting of the Fa will inevitably determine a winner or loser, and if he loses tomorrow, then he will need to compete again to determine the winner or loser, so tomorrow's battle is extremely crucial.
After entering the Tianshu Upper Palace, he saw Shi Yanxin standing by the porch, looking at the peony flowers blooming outside, he stepped forward and saluted, "Congratulations to Senior Brother Dao on his victory." ”
Shi Yanxin looked very calm, and said: "But a win or a defeat, the real win or loss, still depends on the next battle, what happened to Daoyou?"
Yin Huanting said: "I just went to see that Zhang Daoyou. He had already agreed to fight, but made a request, he would not come forward, but would have to fight in the place where he had settled. ”
Shi Yanxin was silent for a moment, and said: "Human nature, this Daoist friend has nothing to do with us, and he has never made any preparations in advance, let people get involved, and always take care of the reputation of others, but if Zhang Daoyou does not win tomorrow, I will personally go into battle and fight with Nie Yin the day after tomorrow." ”
He shook his head, and said with a slight regret: "It's a pity that Yao Daoyou will be here this time, she is the most talented person and the best fighting ability among the Xuan Xiu I have seen so far, if she is here, there is a great possibility to win this battle." ”
Yin Huanting said: "Senior Daoist brother, since the results of the divination are in Kaiyang, then Zhang Daoyou is still very likely to win." ”
Shi Yanxin didn't speak again, his eyes just looked at the flowers in the corridor that were blooming and gorgeous, but delicate and fragile.
Half a summer later, in the Kaiyangzi Palace.
Zhang Yu sat behind the desk and drank tea, and in front of him was a scroll, which was sent by Yin Huan Ting, a detailed account of the one he was going to fight against tomorrow.
The Xuan Xiu side didn't know who would be their opponent at first, but every expert in the True Cultivation had done their homework in advance, so there was no shortage of these things.
It may seem unfair to be able to get all kinds of accounts of his opponent beforehand, and to get a rough understanding of his person, while his opponent still knows nothing about him, but there is no absolute fairness in such a contest, and he will not be pretentious.
And this battle is not fought by him alone, what Xuan Xiu's side needs is for him to win, not to see him tied hand and foot by himself.
Judging from the description, this person's name is Nie Yin, and the top sentence is a summary sentence, mentioning that this person is good at supernatural power changes, which is not surprising, except for sword cultivation, most true monks are like this.
But the following description is a little interesting, saying that this person is naturally "timid", especially when fighting with people, he is even more nervous, and he can't even muster up the courage.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for such a person to fight with others, but so far, Nie Yin has won almost every time he has fought with people outside.
Because of this innate fear, he cultivated into the Dharma protector magic power "Miao River Tiandu", which few people in the sect can practice, and none of the magic weapons he built were used to attack the enemy, all of them were used to protect himself.
What is especially powerful is that he himself successfully took advantage of this cowardice and practiced a technique of "winning with a heart".
This supernatural power is very special, as long as the enemy's means of attacking him fail to achieve results, then it will in turn boost his confidence, and then promote his fighting ability, and his qi will be strengthened with the enemy's return again and again, until it climbs to the point where the opponent is irresistible.
And there are also past battles behind the account, he looked at it, every time Nie Yin stood there and did not move, allowing the opponent to attack, but no one has ever been able to break through his supernatural powers, and then he either took the initiative to admit defeat, or was coerced by him to win in one go.
Therefore, it seems that instead of being dragged down by this innate defect, he has achieved it and reached the point where he is now.
Look at the following, there is a list of magic weapons, the most famous is Luo Shengyan, unpredictable, the external force is impenetrable, and there is a golden robe with great toughness on the inner layer.
But according to the inference added below, in addition to these exposed magic weapons, this person is very likely to have something to protect himself, not to mention that in the end, there are also talisman supernatural powers such as Miaohe Tiandu, it is very difficult to penetrate such a layer of solid shell, and it is no wonder that so many Xuan cultivators are not sure.
However, although this one looks indestructible, he actually puts his weaknesses in the spotlight.
He pondered for a while, flicked his sleeves, closed the scroll, and then took out the cicada and the two swords of the sky to wipe it for a while, and then returned to the quiet room to meditate.
The night passed, and the time came to the thirtieth day of May, when the sky was dawning, he came out of his fixed seat and came to the rooftop of the Kaiyangzi Palace, looking at the distant scenery with his sleeves down.
After a long time, the servants came to report that five monks from the Tianshuzi Hall had arrived outside the door.
He knew that this opponent had arrived.
