The Immortal Taoist Priest in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 131 Myth meets reality
The world in the mirror, the ghost market.

Hong Xiangling wore a black robe and walked quietly in the ghost market.

Judging from the gait and body shape, there is no trace of female characteristics. Instead, he looks like a nine-foot-tall man.

She walked around and stopped in front of a stall in the corner.

There are jade stones of various colors on the stall. The jade stones are of different sizes, some are hot and some are cold.

"How many spiritual stones is this?" Hong Xiangling pointed at one of the fist-sized pieces of sapphire.

"Ten thousand years of Yintan water jade, very high purity, three thousand low-grade spiritual stones."

Hong Xiangling touched it. His tentacles were cold and a wave of Yin Qi came over him. The purity was also very good.

"Fifty, love is for sale or not."

Everything that says ten thousand or ten thousand years is false. Aren’t all stones hundreds of thousands of years old?It all depends on the seller's mouth. Whatever he says is what he wants.

"Are you kidding? At least two thousand eighty."

Hong Xiangling turned around and left.

"Okay, okay, if I'm afraid of you, fifty is fifty."

After some haggling, I finally got the spiritual jade as I wished.

Soon, this spiritual stone was sent to Xu Xuan.

On the other side is Wutong Cave.

Xu Xuan prepared the altar outside the thatched cottage.

New five fruits, one pound of tea, two pounds of wine, two pounds of deer breasts, 24 lamps, two mirrors, agarwood for incense, and black ink plus Xu Xuan's own essence and blood for ink.

Offered on the altar are a willow tablet and seven jade bottles.

Xu Xuan straightened his clothes, stood in front of the altar, and concentrated for a moment. The elegance of agarwood gradually calmed his mind.

For half a month, Xu Xuan did not wait, but searched for the remaining ghosts. A lot of spies and criminals had been arrested recently. Under the idea of ​​using heavy codes in troubled times, there were still thousands of people in prison.

The requirements of a ghost have nothing to do with physical fitness, but depend on the year of birth. As long as it falls within the Qingming, Shangsi, Zhongyuan and Hanyi days, one has the qualifications to become a ghost.

With one order, it was relatively simple to find seven people among a group of light and heavy prisoners.

Xu Xuan then dipped a little black ink with a foxtail pen and wrote the ghost's birthday and name.

Twelve pieces were written in total, and they were pressed with a three-inch-and-a-half-inch-thick sapphire seal. Below the seal were engraved the four words "神兵hurry".

Whoohoo! !

Suddenly, a dark wind blew in the cave.

The candlelight on the altar turned into a dark green color, with a gloomy air and ghosts looming.

Xu Xuan opened his eyes at this time, pinched his fingers, and muttered: "The first urgency is that the ghosts and gods will be disturbed; the second urgency is that the sun and moon are unknown; the third urgency is that the soldiers will fight randomly; the fourth urgency is that the dragon and tiger come to protect; the fifth urgency is that the emperor of heaven... ...The roots of heaven and earth, the cultivation of thousands of ancestors, millions of divine soldiers, walking in caves..."

Sacrifice with blood, sacrifice with incense, sacrifice with spiritual energy... A stream of yin energy enters the seal, and the seal emits mysterious light.

While Xu Xuan was refining the seal, there were new changes in the outside world.

"I am a Taoist heavenly soldier, you shall die quickly!!"

In Tianshui, a group of rioters jumped onto the city wall, killed the guard, and opened the city gate with their powerful Qinggong.

"Brothers, kill!!"

The demon sect swarmed into the city and searched the city for three days, searching for treasures, women, food, etc. Many people died in a short period of time.

Tianshui County City, the county guard's office, is headed by a tall and muscular man with sharp eyes, like an unsheathed sword. He is Tuoba Wu, the leader of the coalition.

"Chief, we have conquered such a large territory, why not take care of it ourselves, why would we seek refuge with others?" said a man in Tsing Yi.

I originally planned to join Taoism, but after I tasted the power, I didn't want to share it with others, so I might as well hold it tightly in my hands.

"Yes, the attitude over there is not clear yet. Instead of relying on others, it is better to be independent and mind your own business."

Tuoba Wu did not speak. After everyone finished speaking, he slowly said: "Do you think you are very powerful? You can govern the place? Do you have tens of thousands of defenders guarding this place? Do you have enough food? Taoism has been rooted in Guanzhong for many years. , how can you compare it?"

The words left everyone speechless. If you think about it carefully, it is true that any knowledgeable person can see that famine is brewing, and there may be refugees rising up against them.

Without a strong foreign aid, they may be divided internally.

"Give me the order, everyone must gather and head to the junction of Tianshui and Chencang."

On the other side, Taoism also knew that someone in Tianshui was making trouble under his own banner.

Kou Zhen was not ambiguous and directly ordered to mobilize troops. Lu Jing stayed here while he led the Taoist elite and three thousand Taoist soldiers to Tianshui.

The slogan is to destroy demons and promote justice.

The news here has also spread to the ears of forces in other places.

The 13th year of Datong.

In the desert area, the emperor ruled the world for more than ten years, leaving behind the chaotic times when the barbarians and the Di were at their peak. Now that the desert has been unified by the hero, the barbarians are sharpening their swords and preparing to go south.

There are towering mountains, lush pastures at the foot of the mountains, and groups of wild horses running happily on the grasslands.

Inside the camp, two middle-aged men were drinking. One was wearing a Taoist robe and the other was wearing a barbarian costume.

The two have different auras, one is as sharp as a sword, the other is as reserved as an abyss.

"Brother Wang, what do you think about the affairs of the world?" Murong Xuan, the martial saint of the desert asked.

The person opposite him was Wang Dao, the successor of Taoism back then and now the great master Wang Sanren.

Wang Dao seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said: "You think this is a good time for the desert to go south? Then you are wrong. China will have heroes every 500 years. The day they go south will be the end of the desert."

"Haha, don't lie to me. There are hundreds of rebel kings in the Central Plains, big and small. They can't even take care of themselves. How can you control us? Have you really found the hero? Or is he a hero who only appears every 500 years?" Murong Xuan didn't believe it. I think this old man is crazy.

Although the two have different identities, they can be regarded as old friends who have known each other for many years.

"Haha, you can try it then." Wang Daoshen said mysteriously, "When a hero emerges, the world will be peaceful. Jingming Temple has found that hero."

"Is Emperor Chen Wen not a hero compared to him?"

"It doesn't count!"

"Emperor Wu of Song does not count?"

"It doesn't count!"

"How do King Sima Yi of Jin and King Cao Cao of Wei compare with them?"

"It's not worth mentioning. The Hero Lord comes out every 500 years. If he says 500 years, it means 500 years."

Hearing this, Murong Xuan's smile gradually faded.Who can bear such a reputation? No hero in the past 500 years can match him.

Is it really that powerful?Or are you lying to yourself?
It seems that I need to tell the people below to curb their bellicose attitude and postpone going south for a while, at least to check the situation first.

The atmosphere was a little dull, so Murong Xuan changed the subject and asked, "Do you know anything about Taoism?"

"Hmph..." Wang Dao snorted coldly, "If those guys who don't understand current affairs come out to cause trouble again, they must be the vanguard of the king. In the future, the destruction of the Taoist order will definitely be caused by them."

As a descendant of the former Taoist sect, he was heartbroken that his fellow Taoist sect had fallen to such an extent.

"Taoism this time seems to be different from before."

"Like a raccoon dog, Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time."

The forces from all sides have different reactions. They all believe that Taoism is just a small wave and not worthy of fear.

Taiyuan.

Yun Qiong was the guest of honor, the host was Tang Hu, the head of the Tang family, and beside him were a number of civil servants and generals.

"The day of the uprising is not far away. Jingming'an can cooperate with the recruitment of troops and provide intelligence. We have people in Damo. To prevent Damo from going south, you can send troops to show your goodwill and make friends with Damo first." Yun Qiong said happily.

"Revolting now will probably cause dissatisfaction among the people in the world." Tang Hu hesitated.

On the left is a handsome man, who is also his legitimate son Tang Ming.

"We occupy Chang'an first, support the descendants of the Chen family to become emperors, use the emperor to control the princes, and occupy the name of orthodoxy. The Guanzhong generation will be in our hands."

"There are Taoist forces in Guanzhong, you should be more careful." Yun Qiong was a little worried.

"The chickens and dogs, the dogs that keep the house, are not worth mentioning."

Everyone did not take Xu Xuan and the others seriously. These people were no different from those anti-kings in the world today.

They are unpopular and hold the people hostage. Not only do they have the support of powerful families, but the people's support is also on their side.

The right time, right place, and right people, as long as they don't make mistakes, they can at least separate themselves from one side, and their dominance is within easy reach.

"Get ready. Taiyuan is too close to the desert. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We should go south to attack Chang'an as soon as possible. This is the foundation of Wanghe."

Soon, the whole family started to move.

Since cooperating with Jingming Temple, under their powerful public opinion machine, Tang Ming's prestige has increased to the extreme, and he has gradually gained the reputation of being a beacon in troubled times. Together with Wang Dao, he is known as the Shuangming of the Han family.

The people's support is indeed on their side.

On the other side, the Taoist army gathered.

In the evening, the army moved towards the Tianshui area and ran into the army of Tuoba Wu and others.

In the Tianshui military camp, there was a young attendant standing next to Tuoba Wu. This person was Song Qing.

The envoy reported: "Kou Zhen refused to cooperate with us and said that if we ruin their reputation, we will be punished."

"Bold, who does he think he is? Is it possible to make the world laugh at him by rejecting the righteous from the door?"

"Then take them down and annex the Taoist territory."

The Taoist army was stationed in the county ahead, blocking their way.

At this time, another spy broke in from outside.

"Report, Xu Xuan is here, right on the city wall!"

Tuoba Wu and his attendants looked at each other.

"Come on, prepare your horse."

Led by Tuoba Wu and others, a group of senior officials rode towards the city gate.

I saw an extremely young man standing above him.

"Is this Xu Xuan?" Song Qing was a little surprised. This person was really too young.

Tuoba Wu stepped forward and shouted:

"Since ancient times, there has been no coexistence between good and evil. Now that the magicians have come to join us and share wealth and wealth, do you want to be a monoman who does not tolerate good and evil? Do you want to lose your reputation? This is the way to die!"

"Get ready to take action and consume the power of Taoism to the maximum extent!" Song Qing secretly sent a message. Since he can't join, there will be internal strife.

Let this force be trapped here and they will not be allowed to grow any further.

"Aren't you a god? Since you are a god, why don't you accept us?"

"Exactly! Why don't you show mercy? Are you going to watch us starve to death?"

"Xu Zhenjun, I heard that you can catch ghosts and gods, let's catch a few and see!"

"Ha ha!"

Under the encouragement of thoughtful people, the emotions on Tianshui's side became increasingly high.

We will not only do bad things in your name, but we will also kidnap you morally and force you to bow your head.

Since you, Xu Xuan, are the true king, why don't you even care about your own comrades?

At this time, Xu Xuan spoke, and everyone involuntarily became quiet.

"Who said gods come down to earth to let you enjoy wealth and honor? Why aren't they bleeding like rivers and wives and children separated?"

"What do good and evil have to do with me?"

Whoa!
Xu Xuan took out a jade seal.

With a wave of his hand, the situation changed.

Horrible things happened.

I saw gusts of dark wind, and the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves came from all around.

I saw the black energy gathering together, forming a black shadow twelve feet high.

Black shadows condensed in the air. Their faces were indigo, their eyes were vertical, their hair was as red as fire, their foreheads were as bulging as hills, they were covered in green armor, and they were holding long swords, spears, and halberds.

Send generals and troops, and ghosts and gods follow suit.

The legend reflects reality, and what it brings is not holiness, immortality, or wealth, but coercion and terror.

Xu Zhenjun once again proved that torture of ghosts and summoning gods is not an illusion.

Everyone didn't expect that Xu Xuan, who was originally mocking Xu Xuan for pretending to be a ghost, actually turned out to be a trick.

Now that they have changed, what about them?
