Chapter 256: Twenty-Eight Nights
In view of the fact that the number of participants in the battle of the three parties was roughly equal, after several battles, the two sides were basically in a state of opposing attack and defense, and the Ziyue Immortal Sect and the Tu family were quite confident in their own strength, so they did not set up a large number of defenders in the battle flag area.
But this does not mean that they do not have any arrangements, on the contrary, there is more than one.
Hua Lanting: The obstacle they encountered was the first trap. This first level is guarded by a master named Cao Qiying. This person is less than sixty years old, which is still among the young and middle-aged people in Xianzhou according to the average life expectancy.
Not only is Cao Qiying's own cultivation close to the middle stage of the Tempering Realm, but he also has an amazing talent in the number of Heavenly Machines, and his skills directly catch up with the elder-level figures in the sect. In the Ziyue Immortal Sect, where there were not many Heavenly Machine Warlocks, the combination of the two, its comprehensive strength ranked very high among the junior disciples, so it was vigorously cultivated, and was entrusted with the important task of guarding the battle flag in this battle.
Cao Qiying set up his specialty psychedelic formation on the periphery of the battle flag area, and used celestial machine interference when he first sensed the enemy's tracks, so that the intruders could not easily find the exact location of the battle flag.
Originally, he should have warned in time and notified other powerhouses in the sect in the distance to come back for help.
But as soon as he came, he had been doing nothing here for many days, and he wanted to eat alone mentally, and he was eager to perform meritorious service.
Second, Cao Qiying is favored by the sect, and he is very arrogant, thinking that the master of the Freedom Vientiane Gate who can break through must go through a vicious battle to come here, and his strength must be discounted, maybe his cultivation is not as good as that, but with his Tianji Formation attainments and Tianji skills, he can play with the enemy in the palm of his hand.
Unexpectedly, his light enemy caused his own tragedy.
After a whole night of research on the theory and practice of spatial teleportation before coming, it not only improved Hua Lanting and the others' mastery of the Great Piercing Technique, but also deepened the understanding of several people on the Heavenly Machine Technique, and some secret techniques in the door that they couldn't control before were also able to be reluctantly performed.
Huo Huixiao said that what he wanted to use was a heavenly machine attack and defense technique called "Twenty-Eight Residences and Five Finger Mountains".
"Twenty-eight Houses and Five Finger Mountains" is a technique based on the combination of Taoist yin and yang doctrine and heavenly secret techniques.
Taoists believe that the Fuxi Bagua in the Book of Changes reveals that "yin and yang" are the most basic elements that make up all things in the universe, and that the changes under the heavens are all evolved by the changes of yin and yang.
To give an obvious example, when the day is yang, and on a sunny day, people feel happy and energetic, so the yang expands outward, and the night is cloudy, and after nightfall, or when it rains on a cloudy day, people feel cool and begin to shrink, so the yin is inward and convergent.
For another example, the sky is yang and the earth is yin.
One yin and one yang is the way - yin and yang are relative, there is yin and yang, yin and yang are changing, yin and yang can be interchangeable, yin and yang are one, inseparable, there must be yin and yang, there is a relationship of "birth" rather than "separation" between each other, yin and yang are vitality and vitality.
Embodied in the Heavenly Machine, predicting the future as yang is its main, visible, and practical function, while attacking and defending and killing is yin, which is an extension of the auxiliary and subordinate, and the role of virtual invisibility.
It is embodied in the palms of our hands, the palms of the hands are yang, and the backs of the hands are yin. The palms and backs of the hands are all meat, which is called the unity of yin and yang.
People teach children to hit the palm of the hand, because the flesh is movable and does not hurt people, and the back of the hand is small and cannot be bent, and hitting the back of the hand is torture and will hurt.
More specifically, the singular number is yang, so the thumb is yang, the even number is yin, and the remaining four fingers are yin.
Among them, the thumb has two knuckles, which are called yang and yin, and it is not possible to bend and take things without two knuckles. The so-called combination of rigidity and softness, there is just softness, there is no softness, there is no rigidity, without softness, rigidity will not exist.
The other four fingers each have three knuckles, which are singular, which is called yin and yang. The function of the thumb and the remaining four fingers is that yin and yang are equal to yin and yang - without the thumb, you can't even lift a sword.
Counting it out again, there are fourteen knuckles on the five fingers of one hand, and a total of twenty-eight knuckles on both hands, corresponding to the twenty-eight stars in the sky.
That's where it gets interesting. What is all in control, what is the poor road to pinch the fingers, why is it called the sleeve?
Easy, it's in your hands.
The song of the "Twenty-Eight Nights and Five Finger Mountains" technique is: the sun and the moon are long in the palm, and the sleeve is big. Yin and yang come out, cut the dawn, five fingers, life is gone.
The 28 Nakshatras are the 28 star regions divided by observing the movement of the sun, moon and stars in ancient times, which are divided into 28 constellations of Taiwei, Ziwei and Tianshi, including the following:
Oriental Canglong Seven Houses: Horn, Kang, Di, Fang, Heart, Tail, Kei - Jiaomu Jiao, Kang Jinlong, Di Tu Raccoon, Fang Ri Rabbit, Xinyue Fox, Tailed Fire Tiger, Kei Water Leopard.
Northern Xuanwu Seven Houses: Fighting, Bull, Female, Void, Danger, Room, Wall - Doumu Hedgehog, Ox Taurus, Female Earth Bat, Void Sun Mouse, Dangerous Moon Swallow, Room Fire Pig, Wall Water Pig.
The Seven Nights of the Western White Tiger: Kui, Lou, Stomach, Pleiades, Bi, Mi, and Ginseng - Kui Wood Wolf, Lou Jin Dog, Stomach Pheasant, Pleiades Pheasant, Bi Yuewu, Fire Monkey, and Ginseng Ape.
Southern Vermilion Bird Seven Houses: Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Zhang, Wing, Zhen - Jingmu Rhino, Ghost Golden Sheep, Willow Earth Deer, Xingri Horse, Zhang Yuelu, Winged Fire Snake, and Water Worm.
Each Nakshatra contains a number of stars, which are widely used in ancient astronomy, religion, literature, astrology, astrology, feng shui, auspicious selection and other magic numbers.
There is a little-known saying: Twenty-eight nights set yin and yang.
The 28 Nakshatras are also divided into yin and yang, and yin and yang are two sides of one body, like shadows, endless.
The combination of the power of yin and yang, and the power formed by interactive transformation, is the unfathomable and unstoppable power of this technique.
Among the five continents, only the people of the Oriental Xuan Immortal Continent speak at the same time with two sentences of yin and yang, that is, the words that are spoken in the mouth and heard by others are called yang, and what is said in the heart is called yin only after careful observation and experience.
This is not hypocrisy, but a yin-yang workaround that conforms to the way of nature:
He said that "heroes are not judged by success or failure", but in his heart he said: "The prince who succeeds is the loser".
He said: "People have the same heart, and their hearts are the same", and in their hearts, they said: "People have different hearts, and people have their own aspirations."
He said: "Courtesy first", and secretly thought: "Don't give in".
He said: "My parents are here, I don't travel far", and I wanted to say: "A good boy has ambitions in all directions." "Wait, and so on.
Is this a contradiction? Is it a disagreement?
Actually, it's not - when the car goes forward, the wheels are supposed to turn forward, but what we see is as if the wheels are turning backwards......
How, exactly?
Everything is conditional, it depends on the time, it depends on the situation!
There is no absolute, inseparable yin and yang.
Lin Xian was shocked and several people had dabbled in this technique, but they were limited to cultivation, and they couldn't perform it independently before, until now, uh, they still can't complete it alone......
But there is great strength in numbers, and the flame is high in the crowd gathering firewood—they can join forces to do it.
Lin Xianjing, Huo Huixiao, Yue Guanghan and Hua Lanting, each responsible for the seven stars in one direction, sat cross-legged, shrunk their hands in their sleeves, performed luck exercises, pinched the trick and chanted mantras, attracted the power of heaven in the void, and chanted the chanting formula:
The sun and moon are long in the palm, and the sleeves are big.
Yin and yang come out, cut the dawn, five fingers, life is gone.
The invisible force was pulled, and the "Five Finger Mountain" pressed towards Cao Qiying's hiding place in the void.
Cao Qiying also sat on the ground with his eyes closed at this time, dozens of calculations in front of him were placed irregularly, beating and changing positions from time to time, just when he was proud, a strong force suddenly appeared out of thin air, forming a huge coercion that hit his brain and internal organs.
Caught off guard, Cao Qiying snorted and shook three times, thanks to his solid foundation, he suppressed the blood gushing up his throat, but he was already injured.
He was shocked, and then furious, the other party actually counterattacked with the Heavenly Machine Technique, which could also hurt him, so he hurriedly collected the formation, stabilized his mind, and fought with all his might.
Huo Huixiao and the four of them also underestimated Cao Qiying's strength, plus the four of them had different cultivations, and their cooperation was not skilled enough, and they did not give full play to the full power of the "Twenty-Eight Houses and Five Finger Mountains".
Seeing that the situation was not right, the other four people each stuck behind one person and input spiritual power to help.
The Five Finger Mountain Technique is already good at defense, and the situation is supported, but although Cao Qiying's counterattack is not wide, it is better than being sharp and sharp, and it has the advantage of cultivation.
This is not the outcome they wanted.
Hua Lanting's brain teaser turned, and he drank: "The three of you shrink your defense, wait for my order, and strike a blow with all your might." ”
After saying that, he changed his gestures and used the "Ziwei Star Dou Guan Heavenly Technique" that he had often cultivated, but had not used for a long time.
As soon as the Heavenly Observation Recipe came out, not long after, with the cultivation under his eyes, the power of Zhou Tian's Star Dou descended, no longer as small as a silk thread, but turned into an arm-like thickness, accurately falling from the twenty-eight stars in the sky and entering the bodies of the four people.
The real Twenty-Eight Pleiades star power was much stronger and more condensed than what they had simulated before, and Yue Guanghan and the three of them were overjoyed.
After sixty breaths, Hua Lanting burst into a shout, and the eight of them worked hard at the same time, wanting to complete their work in one battle.
The eight members of the squad are stealing into the war zone, and what they are asking for is to quickly capture the flag with strange soldiers, and many personnel on both sides have already killed and injured people, and each has been killed or wounded.
"Twenty-eight Stays and Five Finger Mountains" is full of firepower, leaving no mercy.
Cao Qiying in the distance opened his mouth to scream, but his viscera were broken, his head seemed to be fine, but it was already sparse inside, and he collapsed silently.
Cultivation is better than everyone else, in terms of the understanding and skill of the Heavenly Machine Technique and the subtlety of the technique, he is not the opponent of the four disciples joining forces at this time.
The rising star of the Ziyue Immortal Sect and the genius of the Heavenly Machine were killed in an instant and withered here.
The eight people didn't have time to personally observe the results of the battle, so they immediately took the Hui Qi Pill to repair the spiritual power consumed, and before they could recover from their cultivation, after Lin Xian was shocked to determine the location of the battle flag again, they got up and rushed to their destination.
This time there was no interference, and everyone arrived quickly.
The water here is more intense, and the air turns from cold to hot and humid.
According to the map obtained before departure, it is called "Big Boiling Water" and is an active hot spring area.
In the middle of the largest hot spring pool, or a small island in the middle of a small lake formed by a hot spring, a large flag stands high, waving in the wind, and the wide flag is flying fiercely, showing off the two big characters of purple and slaughter.
Found it, it can't be fake, this is exactly the other party's, the joint battle flag!
