Chapter 304: Mysterious Real Man
It turned out that Shen Gongbao learned the news: Yang Jian went to the Yuwu Cave of Jinting Mountain and the Feiyun Cave of Jialong Mountain to plead guilty because of the death of Wei Hu and Tuxing Sun. Shen Gongbao has a negative child, so he specially reported to Jinao Island and asked Jiutianjun to help.
Because of the shattered star cone, Shen Gongbao has completely broken with Jiutianjun, and this time he went to Jinao Island to report the news, and he had to taste the coldness. But no matter what, Shen Gongbao still passed this information to Jiutianjun and the others after all. At that time, Han Zhixian was at the critical juncture of closed-door alchemy, and the retreat cultivation of the female lu had not yet ended, and when Xiao Lori heard that her brother was in distress, she was clamoring to come, but Jiutianjun knew that it was not trivial to teach the golden immortal, so he asked Caiyun Fairy to persuade Yun Xuan to let her accompany Zhang Qing'er, and the nine of them came together to help.
Zhang Zixing mentioned Shen Gongbao, was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: No matter what, Shen Gongbao is a chess piece controlled by Yuan Shi Tianzun after all. In the original book, although Shen Gongbao betrayed the teachings and looked for helpers to deal with Jiang Ziya, and they were basically all people in the sect, most of these people were on the list of gods. In fact, Shen Gongbao is tantamount to promoting the process of the demise of the sect from another angle. Perhaps, he himself did not know, but fell into the calculations of Yuan Shi Tianzun.
This time the Nine Heavenly Monarch came, it was indeed to relieve him of a temporary crisis, but the subsequent covenant of the Ten Absolute Formations gave Zhang Zixing a headache. This is a death contract! The power of the well-known Golden Immortals of the Sect is definitely above the Nine Heavenly Monarchs, and he himself has seen the power of the Ten Peerless Formations, and he may be able to pose a certain threat to the Sect Immortals, but the odds of victory are low. If the exposition uses the "substitution of death" tactic in the original book, I am afraid that the Nine Heavenly Monarchs will be lifeless.
However, now that the two sides have made a decision to fight, they can no longer regret it. Unless the Nine Heavenly Monarchs are willing to abandon all dignity and honor and forever bear the infamy of a coward, for a person like the Nine Heavenly Monarchs, they would rather die than do it.
Zhang Zixing and this Nine Heavenly Monarch intersected, and felt that they were very compatible, and last time he advised the immortals to close their doors on Jinao Island, so as not to be contaminated with killing and robbery. Unexpectedly, now because of himself, he wants to repeat the ten battles of the original book, is it really providence?
He has the Jiuding Talisman, and the wooden man given by the Tongtian Sect Master, if necessary, he can also cast the "Great Summoning Technique", which can summon the boss of the Eight Views Palace, and he will be safe at that time, but the Nine Heavens Monarch is extremely dangerous, and he is afraid that there will be a disaster of killing.
However, Zhang Zixing racked his brains and couldn't think of an effective way to help Jiutianjun survive this crisis, so he couldn't help but be anxious.
Seeing his worried look, after asking the reason, Jiutianjun didn't think so, saying that life and death were the destiny of heaven. Moreover, the Ten Peerless Arrays contain subtlety and extraordinary power, especially his Illusion Demon Array, which can be compared to first-class golden immortals such as Guangchengzi and Red Sperm. This invitation to fight, who will win or lose is still unknown, even if there is life and death, it is also due to the number of days, there is no need to mind.
Zhang Zixing nodded, on the surface he was drinking with Jiutianjun, but in his heart he was thinking hard about how to deal with it.
On the second day, when Jiutianjun and Zhang Zixing were arranging ten unique formations outside the Sanshan Pass, news came from the Southern Army that Yang Jian and Lei Zhenzi had supervised the construction of a reed tent next to the camp of the Southern Army, placed the seat hall, and hung flowers. Zhang Zixing knew that he must be welcoming the arrival of important people, and he must have invited Chi Jing and others to come and break the formation.
The period of the fifth day is coming in a blink of an eye, and the ten peerless formations that have been arranged have ushered in the immortals who came to break the formation. The one at the head was none other than the Burning Lamp Daoist of the Yuanjue Cave of Eagle Mountain, and what surprised Zhang Zixing was that there were not only the Golden Immortals who expounded the teachings including Red Sperm and Daode Zhenjun, but also three Daoists who cultivated unfathomable.
Among these three people, Zhang Zixing knows two, one is the Du'er Zhenren of West Kunlun, and the other is the Taiwei Zhenren, these two people are both "acquaintances" when they were grabbing treasures in Daiyu Immortal Mountain, and the other one can't see the specific realm, but at least he is also a lower-level cultivator of Xuanxian. Du Er Zhenren is the cultivation of the peak of the lower level of the Xuan Immortal, and Kong Xuan once said that the Taiwei real person is close to the peak of the middle level of the Xuan Immortal!
Zhang Zixing's heart sank suddenly, his own strength was originally at a disadvantage, but now if he added these three Xuan Immortals, he was afraid that it would be a situation where the whole army would be annihilated!
Zhang Zixing and Jiutianjun stepped forward, and at the same time, his mind was spinning, thinking about countermeasures. After the two sides stood still, Zhang Zixing took the lead and said to the Daoist who lit the lamp: "Today, I said that my Ten Heavenly Monarch has set up ten special formations to compete with all the Taoist friends...... It's just that, please forgive the poor Daoist for being clumsy, I don't know which three masters of your sect are these three Taoist friends?"
The people who burned the lamp Dao were scheming, and they could hear Xiaoyaozi bite the word "expoundment" very tightly, understood its meaning, looked at the three Xuan Immortals, and said: "These three are poor friends, Xuanji Zhenren, Taiwei Zhenren, and Du'er Zhenren. I wanted to go to the Yuxu Palace to meet the saints of this sect, and I heard about the ten Taoist friends and ten battles, so I came to watch the ceremony. ”
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the three Taoists were secretly moved, and they were each careful. On the surface, the burning of the lamp is to explain the position of the three people to "observe the ceremony", but in fact, it is to point out in public that the three people want to go to the Jade Void Palace, indicating that the three immortals are moving closer to the teaching. The position of the three of them was undecided, and they were still in the "wait-and-see period", and after the words of the lantern Daoist, it was inconvenient to explain, and the surface was still silent.
When Zhang Zixing heard that these three Xuan Immortals were so close to the Interpretation Sect, his brows furrowed slightly: The strength of these three Immortals is extraordinary, if they really join the Interpretation Sect, I am afraid that when the Sect is intercepted and fought with them in the future, it will take a lot of effort and feet.
For now, we still have to think about how to get through the difficulties of these ten battles. However, the arrival of the Burning Lamp Dao people also proves that Yuan Shi Tianzun will not come in person - it seems that this kind of "small array" of the sect is not enough to labor the "great god" out of the mountain.
Zhang Zixing asked: "Today, it is a blessing to be able to meet with all fellow Daoists and show what they have learned. I don't know how to compete with the Burning Lantern Daoists?"
The Burning Lamp Daoist seemed to be surprised by his question, and said, "Since ten Dao friends set up a formation, we sent people to take turns to break through the formation to find a way to solve it. If there are casualties, the fate of heaven is safe, and no private revenge can be taken outside the battle. ”
Zhang Zixing looked at some lowly cultivators behind the Burning Lamp Daoist, and knew that the Burning Lamp Daoist was fighting the ghost idea in the original book: first send people to sacrifice the array, first, to vent the murderous spirit in the array, and secondly, to make the rest of the people probe the reality of the array, and then break the formation by means of targeting the surname.
Zhang Zixing, who knew a lot about the original work, could not fall into the calculation of burning the lamp, originally he had agreed with Jiutianjun that he would negotiate with the exposition first, and then fight, and then shook his head and said: "It's not appropriate to be so big, if it is not broken for a while, then send people to go repeatedly, and the cycle will start again and again, like a wheel." As far as I can see, it is limited to ten rounds, and one round is counted as one game, and at the end of one game, whether it is broken or not, this array is unusable. As soon as the ten rounds are over, this contest will be terminated, and life and death will be taken care of separately, and no revenge will be sought. This will save your sect from being a bully and relying on the strong to bully the weak, and it will not let the three of Du Er Daoyou see jokes. ”
Burning the lamp saw that he moved out of the three of Du Erzhen as shields, and secretly said that this person was cunning. But if you really follow Xiaoyaozi's method, then the odds of winning can be greatly reduced without knowing the details of the other party. If the cultivator is too weak, it is ironclad to die, even if he can detect the weakness of the formation, the people behind him will not be able to enter this formation again to break it; if all the Yuan Shi Tianzun is sent to take the lead in the lineage, the chances of victory should be much greater, but once there is a loss, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain to the Yuan Shi Tianzun. And in this method, the initiative is in the hands of the other party, which is very cost-effective.
The people of the Burning Lantern Dao immediately expressed their opposition, saying that the formation was originally based on foreign objects and had an advantage, and this method was very unfair to the side that broke the formation. Zhang Zixing said that the strength of the exposition of the sect was originally superior, if it was as the previous Burning Lamp said, the Ten Heavenly Monarch would suffer too much, if a low "level" was sent to death, and then a high-level broken formation, then the ten absolute formations should not be placed, and everyone would be able to disperse.
The person who lit the lamp didn't expect his intentions to be broken by the other party, and he was a little more vigilant about Xiaoyaozi in his heart, but his tone still refused to relax. So the two began to bargain, fighting with each other and refusing to give in to each other. Seeing the Nine Heavenly Monarchs and the Immortals, including the three Xuan Immortals, they were all dumbfounded - is this a hands-on contest or a mouth-to-mouth?
In the final analysis, it's not because this is an open fight, we have to pay attention to the face of the so-called gate faction, if it is no man's land at this time, I am afraid that Zhang Zixing and the people of the Burning Lamp Dao will waste their lips and tongues, and they will have already used ruthless means to fight to the death.
Zhang Zixing has his own plans: Originally, this Ten Battles was that his side was in a weak position, and if he could, he even wanted to give up the gambling battle of the Ten Battles to save the lives of the nine friends on Jinao Island. Of course, he also knows that immortals also have their own dignity and pride, and sometimes, they are still above the value of their surnames. Moreover, from another point of view, for these people on the list, life and death may be just a transformation of the form of existence for them, although they themselves do not know it.
It was precisely because of the Nine Heavenly Monarch's insistence that Zhang Zixing could not persuade them to give up the Ten Battles, what he could do was to use the rules of battle as much as possible to tilt the balance of victory in his favor and try to protect the personal safety of these friends.
The mysterious real person on the side saw that the two of them seemed to be exhausted, and said with a smile: "The two Taoist friends have their own opinions and refuse to give in. I have a compromise here, I wonder if it works?"
Zhang Zixing noticed one point, when the people who lit the lamp introduced the three of them, they put this Xuanji real person in the front, and then they were too micro and Du Er, so it seems that the cultivation of the Xuanji real person is only afraid that it is still too micro!
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Xuanji Zhenren said: "I have a small magic weapon, which was originally used for idle and idle fun, but now it can solve the difficulties of the two of you." ”
The two golden hollow spheres connected by the magic weapon of the mysterious real person look somewhat similar to the shape of a balance, and there is a small crystal ball in the middle, and the two spheres each hovered with a golden dragon, opening their mouths towards the sky. The method of the mysterious real person is: each side will set ten candidates, but it is not limited to ten rounds. The mana then carved the names into ten gold orbs and ten silver orbs respectively, and placed them in two spheres. This small magic weapon only needs to input a little immortal power into the small crystal ball in the center, and the gold and silver beads can quickly mix and flip in the hollow spheres on both sides, and the clues cannot be seen clearly. In the end, there was a gold and a silver bead flying out of the dragon's mouth, which was the candidate for the two sides to fight.
If one team loses and dies, the corresponding bead is destroyed, and the winning team remains in the orb to continue the next round. That is to say, whether it is the Immortals of the Sect or the Ten Heavenly Monarchs of Jinao Island, they are allowed to repeat the battle, provided that they must win, and the two sides will continue to compete like this until one side is completely wiped out.
As soon as this idea came out, most people on both sides felt that it was fair, anyway, it was a random battle, and the surname Suo had their own destiny, as for the elimination of the ...... Today's situation is already a life-and-death contest, although the Taoist friends shouted politely, they must do their best in the formation for a while, and strive to put each other to death.
However, several wise and strategic people were silent, especially Zhang Zixing: The method of Xuanji Zhenren seems to be fair, but it will cause the two parties to fall into a tragic situation that will not last until one side is completely dead, and in the end, even if it is the winning side, I am afraid that the loss will not be light.
In the original book, there is no such character as a mysterious real person, what is his origin? There is a faint meaning of "the more deaths on both sides, the better"?
Zhang Zixing pondered for a moment and said, "This magic weapon of Xuanji Daoyou is wonderful, and that method is also feasible. It's just that in my opinion, it should still be limited to ten rounds, although this battle is not limited to life and death, but it is also a battle of luck, if someone can have a bye, it is also luck. After ten rounds, the battle between the two sides should be over, and they will retreat separately and not involve mundane matters. ”
The people of the Burning Lamp Dao were also quite worried about the method of the Xuanji real person, and now when they heard Xiaoyaozi propose this, they agreed with it. Xuanji Zhenren's face remained unchanged, but he took the initiative to ask to be arbitrated with Taiwei Zhenren and Du'er Zhenren, and took out the magic weapon to distribute the gold and silver beads to both parties and set up candidates.
Zhang Zixing's side was a fixed candidate for the Ten Heavenly Monarchs, so he immediately engraved his name with the silver bead with immortal power and handed it to the Xuanji real person. On the side of the teaching, it hurt my brain to burn the lamp, but I finally decided to hand over the gold bead with my name engraved.
Xuanji Zhenren glanced at the names of both sides, nodded, and put ten beads on each side. In order to show fairness, Xuanji Zhenren asked the two sides to inspect and test the "lottery instrument", and asked Zhang Zixing and Burning Lamp Daoren to supervise the lottery as representatives of the two parties.
After everything was ready, the competition officially began, and the Xuanji real person pointed to the crystal ball, and the twenty beads in it began to roll out in disorder, and finally a bead popped out of the dragon's mouth on both sides at the same time.
The first competition has finally begun.
