Chapter 955: The Third Place: Serving the Sun
After the patriarch Kun Zhen and Zuo Liuying, the third Taoist priest was born, who was neither a high Taoist priest such as Yuemang and Zhushen, nor a genius with extraordinary understanding, the moment Kun Chao came into the world, he was just an ordinary Taoist priest who looked at the mountains and swallowed the smoke, practiced diligently, and improved the realm step by step.
His name is Shi Hanyuan.
Most of the people in the Taoist Tower are in a state of different shades of contemplation, and a few people are looking through books to prepare for the next round of contemplation, and in this silence, the unknown Taoist priest breaks through the last obstacle, and the sunlight pours into the Mud Pill Palace from the eyes, and then spreads the meridians of the whole body.
Almost no one noticed such a big thing, only Zuo Liuying, who was sitting in the eighth-story tower, had a heartbeat, he had been paying attention to this Taoist priest for a while, and immediately sent him an invitation with the method of fugue.
Shi Hanyuan walked out of his practice room, walked up the stairs, nodded politely to the person he met, and came all the way to Zuo Liuying's room, stood at the door for a while, and stepped in.
He is one hundred and ninety-one years old this year, his appearance is about fifty years old, his beard is half gray, and his expression is arrogant, not the arrogance of a person who has been in a high position for a long time, but the taciturn of a person whose family background is declining and who has never met talents: others do not pay attention to them, and they do not pay attention to others, standing quietly on the edge and guarding the corner, preferring to act as a cold-eyed bystander that no one likes in the midst of the bustle.
"The Shi family has been hidden for more than 7,000 years. Zuo Liuying said that he had the family records of all the disciples of the Nine Great Dao Sect, Shi was one of the ancient Taoist surnames, once on a par with the Shen and Yang families, and had long since declined, and the last Taoist priest above the god appeared more than 7,000 years ago, and since then there have only been a small number of Daoist priests.
Shi Hanyuan was nearly two hundred years old and was still in the realm of swallowing smoke, which was considered a normal level in his family, and then it took less than a year to raise the realm to serve the sun, which was unprecedentedly fast, especially since he had no adventures. All that is done is to think in silence.
"The Zuo clan has only one Zuo Liuying. There was a hint of sarcasm in Shi Hanyuan's tone, lacking the calmness that a Taoist priest should have.
Both refused to talk in a fugue manner any longer.
"The patriarch chose me. Shi Hanyuan turned his head to look at the incense burner in the corner, it hadn't smoked for a while, "Because I come from an ancient Dao family, loyal and trustworthy, and able to accept the ancestor's spells without reservation." ”
Zuo Liuying stared at Shi Hanyuan, "In the past, Dao Tong called your state a painting robbery - indulging in your own portraits, and from time to time you would add one or two strokes to the painting to make it more perfect. The difference with me is getting bigger and bigger. ”
"Jealousy, Zuo Liuying, who doesn't have the heart of a Taoist priest, will also be jealous. Shi Hanyuan's smile was also arrogant, but he was a little more confident than before, "The patriarch's spells are like rain and dew, and everyone in the world is touched, only those who are humble and have the most benefits, but unfortunately people are complacent, and there are very few people who are willing to give up a part, and even the grandmaster who serves the moon is unwilling to give up the last bit of 'my heart'." You are the first to realize this. But you have a heart outside your heart and a hidden ghost, and the ancestor has no choice but to use you. I am the second enlightened being, purer and more loyal than you, so it is up to me to uphold the will of my ancestors. You're ready to quit. ”
"The ritual can only be accommodated, not upheld. In Zuo Liuying's opinion, Shi Hanyuan is no longer a real Taoist.
The two stared at each other for a moment, then raised their hands at the same time to make a move.
There are no visible spells coming out of the fingers. Only a small red dot appeared in the middle of the two people, as if there was an invisible thin wire connecting the two fingers more than ten steps apart, and a ruby was hung in the middle.
The two were at a stalemate for a moment. The red dot began to expand, gradually turning into a fireball about a foot in diameter, and from then on, it was once again deadlocked.
"The patriarch never believed in you, and let you do whatever you wanted, because everything was under the control of the patriarch. Shi Hanyuan was a little excited, from swallowing cigarettes to serving the sun, the change made his state of mind unbearable, "You sent the rebellious Taoist priest to the Demon Extraction Cave, just because you were worried that Mu Xingqiu would lose his original intention, so he gave him a group of companions, and the patriarch knew everything about it, so he took away the Nine Great Treasures, hid them in a place that no one knew, and strengthened the Demon Extraction Cave again, no matter where the prisoners inside hid, they could not escape from the scope of the Demon Extraction Cave." ”
Shi Hanyuan slowly got used to his strength, and the expression on his face became flat, "The ancestor has another trick, can you guess it?"
"He's going to destroy the Cave of Extraction. Zuo Liuying said.
Shi Hanyuan's gaze turned from bland to cold, when the fighting method was evenly matched, destroying the opponent's state of mind was a necessary means to win, but until now he had not succeeded, Zuo Liuying obviously did not have the heart of a Taoist, but he was stronger than any Taoist.
"The ancestor originally wanted to refine Mu Xingqiu's soul, but he came up with other ways to find the demon soul, Mu Xingqiu was useless, and it was useless to pull out the demon cave. ”
Zuo Liuying remained silent, the fingers hanging in front of him moved slightly, and the fireball expanded dozens of times, engulfing the entire room, and the two Taoist priests stood in the fire and continued to fight.
The flames burned out the truth, and the Dao Tong Tower was composed of countless spells, and the light swam endlessly in the middle of the walls, and a dozen spell lights could be stepped on under one foot alone.
Even the Taoist priest could only see the light, and could not distinguish more details inside.
The tower was shaking, Xuan Hanyuan closed his mouth, he didn't have the energy to attack with words again, and after a while, he took a step back, the corners of his mouth twitched, took another step back, his face turned red, he took another step back, his eyes were wide open, he took a fourth step back, sweat was oozing from his forehead, and in the fifth step, he withdrew from the room, the fighting method was over, and the Daotong Tower returned to normal.
Zuo Liuying repelled his opponent, but was unable to kill him.
Shi Hanyuan gasped for three breaths and said to Zuo Liuying in the room: "Okay, you are still useful to the ancestor for the time being, the room belongs to you, and I will find another way to achieve the ancestor's wishes." ”
"You've been seeded into the remnants of another person. Zuo Liuying said that in the process of fighting, he found something strange, Shi Hanyuan's soul was hidden in the mystery, and there were more things than normal people.
"It was a gift from my ancestors. Shi Hanyuan slammed the white door shut, with him there, this door didn't need to be opened.
Shi Hanyuan turned around and walked to the mouth of the tower ladder, and said loudly: "Daoists, it's time to end your thoughts, join the battle with me, the ancestor has given you powerful mana, you have to use it to kill demons and demons!"
The vibration of the tower just now has awakened many Taoist priests, and they have come out of the towers one after another, listening to this strange appeal, there are two Taoist priests who serve the moon and are particularly surprised, they have been ordered to attack Yelin Town, and they will set off in a few days, but now there is an inexplicable more commander.
"I'm Shi Hanyuan, the patriarch chose me to carry out his war plan, come on, sober Taoist, come with me to purify this world, the end of the demons has come!"
Shi Hanyuan flew out of the Daotong Tower, floating in the air, holding a sword in one hand and a bell in the other, and a solemn voice came out of his mouth: "Cultivator, it's time to fight." ”
His voice contained endless mana, and the two Taoists who served the moon were the first to feel the power, and flew out of the Dao Tong Tower, guarding the left and right, and the position was slightly lower, so more Daoists came out of the tower and lined up around Shi Hanyuan.
There are more than 3,000 Taoist priests who obey the call, Shi Hanyuan is very satisfied, the Taoist priests who stay in the tower are either too low to be used, or too high to listen to the command, these Taoist priests around him are the battle essence of the Taoist system.
Shi Hanyuan shook the flowing fire golden bell in his left hand, and the bell spread thousands of miles away, and the sword of Wuhua in his right hand intimidated the hearts of thousands of people.
The cultivators inside and outside the imperial capital also felt the spells in the voice, and they rose into the air one after another, bowing to the Taoist priests from afar, and the number was as high as more than 50,000.
This day is the end of May, and the last batch of five hundred Taoist priests set off for Yelin Town was just over half a month ago, and a real Taoist army set off.
Millions of mortals inside and outside the imperial capital looked up, only to see the immortals who were covered in golden light lined up in a long dragon-like procession, advancing towards the northwest at an extremely fast speed, but after the procession, the golden light continued to disperse, and it did not fade until three days later.
It was in these three days that Emperor Ci issued a series of orders, he wanted to drive the expedition in person, start a big war with the demon clan in advance, and the last batch of troops were drawn one after another, and the imperial capital was empty, leaving only women and children.
Zuo Liuying still came to visit Zeng Fu and Qilin as promised.
"Can't you stop this war?" Zeng Fu asked as soon as they met.
Zuo Liuying shook his head, "I can't go against the intentions of my ancestors, only in this way can I survive and gain strength." ”
"But what's the use of that? When the war starts, everyone will die. Zeng Fu sighed, knowing that he shouldn't blame Zuo Liuying, "Is it really going to kill a lot of people?"
"Inevitably. Maybe it will be possible to reduce some. ”
"Do you have a way?" Zeng Fu hugged the neck of the unicorn, which had grown to the size of an adult deer, with silver horns shining, and always wanted to run to Zuo Liuying's side to rub it twice like when he was a child.
"I need you to do me a favor. ”
"I'm willing to help, but I don't seem to be able to do anything. ”
"I just want you to send a message, I can't find a credible helper among Taoist priests. ”
"Okay, you say, I'll deliver it. ”
"You can also ask other people for help, it has to be the person you trust the most. ”
"It's me, tell me quickly, what message, to whom?"
"Give it to Yang Qingyin in Yelin Town, tell her that the ancestor brought out Shen Geng's soul from the Demon Extraction Cave, the most selfish, cruel, and strongest soul, divided into several parts, used to shape the murderous intent of the strong, Taoist Shi Hanyuan is one, the three soul monsters are likely to be another, and maybe there are others. ”
Zeng Fu was stunned when he heard this, "Can the soul be divided into several parts?"
"What others can't do, the patriarch can, these remnant souls will lead all parties to fight each other, he wants to make the world chaotic, to make people's hearts float, not to be peaceful, and force the demon soul to awaken in advance. ”
"Oh my God, what the hell is the patriarch...... Can Mu Xingqiu really break through the Demon Pulling Cave and come out to defeat the Patriarch?"
"I'm not worried about Mu Xingqiu's strength, I'm just worried that he will change his original intention at the last moment like Kun Zhuan. ”
Zuo Liuying sent a large number of innocent Taoist priests to the Demon Extraction Cave to help Mu Xingqiu, he didn't know that at this moment, Mu Xingqiu was practicing lonely in a pearl, and there was no one around him.
